A.N. Yeah, I know it's been awhile since my last update. I'll make it up to you by making this one awesome.
CPOV
He loved me. Derek loved me and he was still going to let them kill me.
"It was easier when you hated me." I said pulling away. Derek opened his mouth to say something. Just then the door opened.
"The executioner is ready," the man said gruffly. Derek grabbed my arm and haled me to my feet as a guard came in and dragged me out of the room none to gently. I looked at Derek one last time.
"Goodbye, Derek."
DPOV
The weight of my world came crashing down with those words. It held so much emotion. She wasn't just saying goodbye for now, she was saying goodbye forever. I couldn't go to the execution. I couldn't watch her die. But I also couldn't let her go. There was nothing I could do. I closed my eyes as sweet familiar words and flashes of the past echoed in my memories.
"Always remember I love you, Derek." She smiled, sadly.
"I will Mommy." I smiled up at her, naively.
She watched the sky for a while, before looking up suddenly.
"Derek, promise me, you'll always fight for what you believe in, for what's right, for what you love. Promise me!" She said, anxiously.
I smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "I promise." I looked away from her sad eyes to see a serious man walking towards us.
"Daddy, daddy." I said running towards him. He grabbed me and put me behind him. My mom started walking towards us.
"Stay away from him, Ann." My dad shouted. Why was he being mean to mommy? I tugged on his pants leg to ask him, when scary men in uniforms appeared and grabbed her arms and cuffed them behind her back.
"Andromeda Souza you are under arrest for the practice of forbidden magic. You will not have a trial. You will not be allowed to petition your case. And you will be executed." She walked with them compliantly. But not before turning around and shouting.
"Remember Derek, remember."
My father let my mom die. He let her be executed because he didn't fight for it. He didn't fight for what he loved. But I made a promise. I was in this far now by falling in love with Chloe. There was no backing out. I knew what I had to do. I just hope I have enough time.

The guard led me to the courtyard in the center of the fortress. People where sitting in stands around the executioner's spot. They always killed the same way. One swift electrically current, similar to the electric chair but more quick and painful. The walk to the stand was long and slow. Every step seemed to bring my farther and farther away. I wanted it over with quickly. We finally reached the stand, where the guard pushed me up on it. I stumbled and nearly fell, which brought a roaring laugh from the crowed. They read me my charges, again.
"Chloe Saunders, you have been brought here under the charges of using forbidden magic. Your almost immediate execution upon arrival was brought on by your attempts at creating rebellion. How do you plead?" Like that mattered. They were still going to kill me.
"Guilty." I said it with pride.
Why not? I was proud of my magic. I just wished I could be there for Drew. Drew. I missed him so much. I hadn't thought about him since I had been arrested. His image floated in front of my eyes. His messy brown hair and blue eyes. I hoped they never caught him.
"Chloe Saunders, you have pleaded guilty." I was there, I know how I pleaded. "You will be executed via electrocution until dead. Do you have any last words?"
"Yeah. Go to hell." He looked furious.
"On the count of three. One. Two. Thr…" Before he could finish counting down there was a loud rumbling sound coming from the court yard doors. The doors burst opened and mass chaos ensued.
AN: Cliff hanger. Hope you liked it. I will do my best to post the next chapter tomorrow. Also I need to know if I should finish my other two stories. Forever Invisible and Karma is a Witch. Leave me a comment or message letting me know. Sorry it's so short. When I typed it on Microsoft it was longer.
