A/N well hello, I think this is the last chapter, I'm sorry, I want a little break to write some other things, but I'm already thinking of ideas for the sequel so don't worry, they will be back! To essence of dreams- what is a beta reader? I don't mind if you want to be it, but I have no idea what it is lol, thanks to actor's actress! (eyhay asminyay hanktay orfay hetay ovelylay eviewsray!)
Keaira screamed as Braeden walked into the room, he flicked his hand and Dylan and Brenna felt themselves under a binding spell. He walked over to Brenna and grabbed her chin, moving his face close to hers, Keaira knew she had to do something to keep him away,
"What did you do to my parents!" Braeden turned, smiling,
"But Keaira, dear, your parents are right here, I may be about to do something to your mother, but I'll always be here for you!"
Keaira looked in disgust at him; "you aren't my father! What have you done to my dad? If you've hurt either of them…"
"Don't worry dear daughter of mine, I haven't hurt them of course not, but let's say they weren't really powerful enough for me to bother with!"
Keaira stepped forward, "they're 10 times more powerful than you are! And I told you you aren't my dad!"
Braeden hit Keaira with the back of his hand, "don't be so insolent! You stupid girl you don't know what real power is!" Keaira landed in a crumpled heap on the floor, and Brenna suddenly ran forward, breaking the binding spell.
"No don't hurt her! I won't let you, I'll take her to somewhere safe!" she stood between Keaira and Braeden, shielding her with her body.
"No you won't you won't take her from me, she won't get away from me like you did!" Braeden spat out 5 words and a blast of black energy went flying into Brenna, she let out a moan and fell to the floor. Keaira stood up; looking down at the mother she'd just met. Brenna lay dead on the floor. Keaira started to cry, tears dripping onto the floor. Then she looked up at Braeden, and Dylan was shocked to see that her pupils were completely black, suddenly the door blew open sending leaves into the little cottage, and the wind whipped at Keaira's clothes and sent her hair flying around her face.
"You killed her, you killed my mother, she may have given me away but I know why, I never really thought you were evil, misled maybe but I didn't know you were evil until this minute!" Keaira stood stock still, glaring at Braeden. He edged back slightly
"Well you underestimated me before, don't do it again!" he said but both Dylan and Keaira could hear the fear in his voice. Keaira smiled, but it didn't look like Keaira.
"You stupid man, you think that you are more powerful than me. You were forsaken by your mother for being not powerful. But you came back for me because I am, right?" Braeden glanced down, "I thought so, I knew that you didn't want me purely because you wanted a piece of my mother, or whatever emotional crap you have been feeding me over the past years! You only tried to find me because they made you, amyrnth they wanted me to be their leader!" she pointed her finger at him, "don't try to deny it! Well I'm going to let you see just how powerful I am!" she started chanting, long spiky words that she spat into the air, Dylan could almost feel the air getting thicker.
Then as Braeden also started chanting, Dylan felt the spell around him weakening. He knew the spell Braeden was sending out, even though he had know idea what Keaira's spell was. When he saw Braeden drawing the final rune in the air, time slowed down, as he jumped in front of Keaira he felt a blast of energy hit him, and he fell to the ground. Braeden swore, then Keaira drew one final glistening rune in the air, she pointed at Braeden again and all the negative force of the spell hit him. He too fell to the ground, hitting his head off the table, but he felt nothing, he was already dead.
Keaira fell to the floor, placing her palms on either side of her, grounding herself. She didn't know what had happened. Something had come over her, like when she had put a spell on Kyle but it was different. This was more powerful. The door had closed now and her pupils were back to normal, she pushed her hair back from her face then froze.
"Dylan!" she crawled over to him, he was lying unmoving on the floor, and she leaned over him, her hair brushing his face. She placed her hand on his heart, trying to feel if anything was there.
"Dylan, wake up," his eyelids fluttered open, his pupils were small and he looked far off. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," he said, gasping for breath, "I'm… fine are you ok… Keaira?"
She nodded, tears rolling down her face, "I… killed him Dylan, I killed him with a spell, I'm just as bad as he is! No wonder no-one wants me"
Dylan struggled to sit up, leaning against a chair. He pulled her against him; "you're nothing like him! Come here, don't cry! You've got me, you know I'll always be there for you!"
"But you're not, not… anymore, you have to be there for Sarah! Not me, I'm… I'm not..."
Dylan looked at her, and smiled, he shook his head, "oh Keaira, why did this have to happen to us!" he closed his eyes again and slid back down onto the floor,
"Dylan!" she shouted, shaking him, his eyes opened once more. "I thought I'd lost you, but it wasn't that serious, I mean you said you're ok!"
"I am," he said, he smiled again, oh Keaira, if only you could know, I feel wrong, I don't think I am ok, but I won't worry you, I'll be ok soonI know it, I wish… I wish I could kiss you, but I can't, I couldn't do that to Sarah.
"Dylan," she whispered, then she bent down and gently kissed him, "I thought this time I'd be the one to issue the first kiss." Seeing the despair in his eyes she added, "don't worry I know nothing will happen, I just had to…"
"That's ok," Dylan felt something leaving him, he knew he didn't have long, "because, Keaira I love you," and with that he kissed her, as he felt his life leaving his body.
A/N oh my god! I'm almost crying here, what about you? I didn't plan that it just came out so er… yeah well you'd all better review, I will only write a sequel if you review. I want to know what you felt, this chapter is totally dedicated to yasmin, because she told me not to make it a happy ending, but if you don't I'll kill you, so here is a happy yet unhappy ending, just for you! So if anyone wants to find out what happens to Keaira and the others after this then review!
