I am soooo so sorry!
Please hear me out… =|
It was never my intention to not update my stories for more than a month. My laptop power cord fried and the people I ordered a new one from took forever to send it to me. Then I left on my vacation to Florida like two days before the cord got to my house. =(
But I finally came back and was able to turn on my laptop again and retrieve my new chapters! =D
I've had this chapter and half of Domino Effect's next one done already but it was only on my laptop so I couldn't post it before. =/ Hope I haven't lost any readers!
This story is coming to an end fairly soon. As much as I hate having to let go of the story, I'm kind of glad it's almost over. I've been stretching my imagination a lot with this but I am proud of how it's finally come together.
Just for the record I will not be making another sequel. I think this story's gone far enough, don't you think? Lol =P
Hope you guys enjoy!
Lights! Camera! …Read!
"We should call Tanya. Six more people would help even the odds against them." Jasper offered.
"I don't know if we should involve them…" Carlisle said softly.
"Carlisle, we need all the help we can get. Besides, Tanya owes us after everything that happened." Jasper countered.
Carlisle sighed and nodded. He stood up and walked into the kitchen. I heard him pick up his phone and then walk outside.
"They'll say yes. Kate and Garrett are still in Europe so they'll be here first. The others will meet us in Volterra." Alice confirmed.
"So that gives us 20 to their 32." Jasper started. "I don't know if it'll be enough."
"We may have more than that." I mused.
"Who else?" Emmett asked.
"Well, what if some of the Volturi were to turn on them and join us?" I said. Bethany smiled.
"Demetri will join us. He would never fight against me or Ella." Bethany said confidently.
"Anyone else that might side with us?" Jasper asked.
"Most would be too afraid of what the Volturi would do to them if we were to lose, so it's very likely that most of them won't help. But there's a good chance Bridget will be on our side. Maybe even Charles and the rest of the special guard will too." I frowned. "I can only hope Edward will side with us."
Alice walked over to sit with me and placed her small hand over mind. "Even if he doesn't, I don't think Edward would be capable of hurting any of us anyways, even as a newborn vampire."
"Well we have to go in with the mindset that it will be just us. If they decide to come to our aid then we'll deal with it then. Who all in the guard has gifts and what are they?" Jasper asked.
I told him and we started to figure out which of us would take down who.
"Emmett will take down Felix."
"Sweet!" Emmett cheered as he pounded his fist into his hand.
"And you'll keep watch on Anthony just in case he doesn't side with us." Jasper continued. "Alice, Heidi will be yours to handle. Keep your eyes on Bridget." Alice nodded in agreement.
"We have to be very careful with Laurent. He has the most dangerous gift." I started. "Jasper you have the most experience in battle and are the quickest of all of us. I think you should take on Laurent."
"Alright, and what of the twins?" he asked.
"Leave Jane to me, I want to be the one to teach that little witch a lesson." Bethany hissed.
"I'll tear Alec to shreds." Rosalie said with a smirk.
"That leaves us with Aro, Caius, and Marcus." Jasper continued.
I growled.
I flinched at my own aggression. I didn't expect to get defensive. "No one is to touch Marcus." I said sharply. Jasper furrowed his brows. I took a deep breath and sighed.
"I can't let anyone harm him. It's not want Didyme wanted… If he tries anything, I'll deal with him." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Aro and Caius won't fight unless they absolutely have to. They will let the rest of the guard fight for them. Laurent, Jane, Alec, and Felix will be guarding them closely. We have to take them down first. After that whoever can manage to get there will attack Aro and Caius."
Carlisle walked back in the room and let us know that Tanya, Irina, Carmen, and Eleazar would be taking the next plane out to Italy and that Garrett and Kate would be here within the next two hours.
"So how will we get to the dungeons?" Jacob asked.
"There are tunnels all throughout the city. All of them lead to underneath the castle. Carlisle do you have any maps of the castle?" I asked.
He nodded and blurred out of the room. He returned with a large piece of old parchment. "It's quite old, but it'll do."
I unrolled the parchment and laid it out on the center table. The map was decently big. It showed all the tunnels and levels of the castle. "I'm almost positive that Aro will be already expecting us to show up. He more than likely will order everyone in the castle to meet in the grand hall when we arrive. The dungeons should be unguarded."
"Even if it is, we'll take down who ever is down there." Leah growled. I nodded.
I pointed at the map. "This tunnel entrance here is the furthest from the castle. You should take that one. It's rarely used by anyone. We'll split up here and you'll take the tunnel–" I traced my finger along the tunnel until I reached the first level of the castle. "It leads to the entrance of the dungeon. The rest of us will go through the front gates."
"Alice are you able to see anything?" Carlisle asked.
Alice's eyes clouded over for a brief second. Her eyebrows knitted together in frustration. "No. I can only see Jasper, Bella, and Bethany demonstrating how to fight off the guard. After tonight I don't see anything else."
"I figured as much. The entire Volturi's minds are being guarded by Benji. When our futures get mingled with theirs, ours would disappear." I said after I stood up. "And it would be a good idea to show you how the Volturi have been trained to fight."
They followed me outside and I began to show them parts of the training I had with the guard. When Kate and Garrett showed up they joined us as well. Our demonstration went in well through the night. Once the sun began to rise we made the decision to leave as soon as possible for Volterra.
Carlisle called Vladimir and informed them to meet us at the small airport nearby where the Cullen Jet was stationed at. It would be a three hour flight into Italy. We booked our flight at just the right time to arrive in Volterra at nightfall. Throughout the flight, Carlisle spoke with Tanya and explained our situation thoroughly so that they knew exactly what they would be getting themselves into.
The Denali's met up with us at the Galileo Galilei Airport in Florence. From there we would run to Volterra.
"You guys ready?" I asked as we approached the heavily wooded area a mile away from the airport.
We all broke out into a run. Loud tearing sounds rang in my ears. Four large set of paws hit the ground and ran alongside us. The largest and rustic colored one, Jacob ran ahead of the others. They kept our pace and in no time we had reached the outer city limits of Volterra.
I slowed down to a walk as we reached the opening of the tunnel. I lifted open the large, round grate from the ground and turned to Jacob.
"You'll fall down about fifty feet. Take the tunnel all the way down. You'll reach a door that will take you to a long hall way. The last door to the right will be the dungeons. Good luck." I pat my hand on his furry shoulder right before he jumped through the hole. The other three wolves followed immediately after him.
The rest of us ran along the forest edge until we were about two blocks away from the castle. The streets were empty so we wouldn't have a problem walking up to the castle gates.
We swiftly walked along the street and came to a stop at the gates. Emmett grabbed the gate and pulled it to the side, making the automatic opener jam and let out sparks. He smirked and shrugged his shoulders as we all passed him to get through.
As we walked towards the castle I took a quick glace back at my family, my friends, my army.
I smirked as I remembered one of Didyme's visions of me walking through the Volturi gates with an army behind me.
I paused at the large entrance doors of the castle.
This would be it. No turning back now.
Behind the doors, I could hear the soft scurrying footfalls of the vampires inside. A few dozen hushed whispers could be hears from somewhere in the castle.
My guess is they already know we are here and have assembled in the great hall.
I took a deep breath and opened the doors wide open.
We walked through them into the reception room. A new human girl stood at Gianna's old desk.
Despite her calm appearance, her heart was racing, pounding loudly in her chest.
"Are you all the Cullens?" She asked in a soft voice and fake smile.
"Yes and we are here to meet with the Brothers." I answered her.
"They've been waiting for you." She said as she stood up from her desk. "Please follow me."
She led us through the corridor that led to the great hall.
The soft buzz of whispers came to a complete silence as we reached the double doors.
The girl walked up to the door and with a shaking hand opened them.
The scent of thirty or so vampires assaulted my senses. But only one stood out from the rest. My chest tightened as my eyes zeroed in on the most heavenly scent.
Edward.
Edward's POV
My eyes flew open and in much less time that I would have thought possible, I had launched myself flat against the opposite wall.
I could feel the stone crumble behind me and the pieces that fell to the ground rang loudly in my ear.
I felt sick, and confused.
The body of a small girl, no older than twelve lay before me. Her tattered clothing caked with dirt…and blood.
It was her own blood, pooled all around her. Her eyes were wide and staring at me. She wasn't alive I could see no breathing, hear no heartbeat.
My chest tightened and I followed the trail of blood to my own feet.
My clothes were drenched in blood. My hands stained red and my lips…
I grasped my throat.
It hurt, not as much as it had before, but the ache of my thirst was steadily growing stronger.
I screamed in frustration.
How could I think of my pain after what I have just done?
I have murdered a child!
I dropped to the floor and pulled my knees to my chest.
It was then that I realized the girl and I were not alone.
A man with translucent skin and sleek black hair laughed from the door way.
Before I realized what I was doing I threw myself at the man, disgusted in him for laughing at such cruelty.
I abruptly stopped midair and landed hard on the floor beneath me. The floor boards creaked and snapped underneath my weight.
I tried to stand up but it was useless. It was as if someone were pushing me down by the shoulders and not letting me rise. I looked up at the man and he was smirking and rolling his eyes. He walked over to the young girl's body and lifted her up in one swift movement. He held her up in one hand and let her body fall at an awkward position. Her body was limp as he dragged her on the ground like some dead animal and walked out of the room.
I wanted to kill him for his disrespect of her body. The realization sunk in deeper. I was the one to kill her in the first place. I was the monster.
I didn't have much time to chastise myself, another man walked into the room.
He was pale skinned like the other one, but his skin had an offset olive tone to it.
He glided swiftly over beside me. I felt the weight lift off my shoulders but felt it again below me and was forced to stand.
"Young Edward," He smiled. I shuddered at his voice. It was sickly sweet. I felt like I should hate him. "Immortality suits you well."
I furrowed my brow.
Flickers of memories flashed before my eyes.
A woman moving at the speed of light in all different directions in a kitchen.
A girl at a baseball field pitching a ball too fast for my eyes to see.
"How do you feel?" He grinned.
Me sitting with a curly haired man playing a video game.
A big man lifting a car with his hand will a skinny blonde changed the tire.
I stared at the bloodstained floor where the girl had laid.
"I…killed her." I said in barely a whisper.
"Well of course, how else would you feed?" He laughed.
I stood at the window and saw a woman walk out of the forest with a deer in her hands. She snapped its neck and sunk her teeth into it.
"Animals." I said quickly.
He grimaced. "I see." He paced around the room. "Animals are a poor substitute for our natural diet. You will eat only humans here." He said in a dead set tone.
My eyes went wide. "I will do no such thing!"
The man rushed towards me and held me by the neck, successfully lifting me from the floor. My hands stayed pinned at my sides. I couldn't move them. His grip tightened, I couldn't breathe. It was uncomfortable, but I soon realized it wasn't necessary for me to breathe.
"I don't care what you've learned from Carlisle, you will do as I say or the consequences will be severe." He hissed.
There was a blonde man with a young tear-eyed boy at his side. He crouched down to his height and placed a baseball cap on his head. "Edward, you will always be my son, no matter what anyone says. I love you."
"Dad…" I gasped.
"He is not your father. Vampires can not father children." He spat.
I struggled to get away from him. More of my forgotten memories began to jump to the front of my mind as his grip tightened.
And then it was over, he let go and I fell to the floor. I clutched at my throat. It felt as if his hands were still gripping me tightly.
"Now get up and clean yourself up. When you're done, Felix will walk you to your room and you will stay there until I call for you." He walked out to the door and slammed it shut.
I sobbed pathetically on the ground. I don't know how long I lay there, but sometime afterwards a soft knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts.
"Go away!" I growled.
The door opened anyways.
Bethany stood in the doorway with a frown. She timidly walked towards me. She began to lift me up but I turned away from her.
"Edward you need to get cleaned up." She said softly.
I looked down at myself. I was covered in dried blood and ripped clothing. My fists clenched as I again played out my first few minutes of this non-existence.
"Come on." She pleaded, again trying to lift me up. This time I let her.
She led me to a chair where a pair of jeans and shirt were laid out. Not caring weather Bethany was looking; I undressed quickly and put on the jeans. I sat down on the chair and she kneeled before me with a small container of water and a rag. She started to clean off the blood from my skin.
"Why are you even helping me?" I hissed. "After what I did to Bel–" I stopped myself short.
She gave me a sad smile. Because I know you would never hurt Ella like that unless you had a good reason. I know you love her as much as I love my Demetri.
I stared at her wide eyed and frustrated.
"I…I just wish I could… I can't –"
She nodded and continued to help me clean up. She didn't say anything else to me. Sometime later Felix opened the door and told us to hurry up.
Bethany insisted she walk up with us to escort me to my room.
I was dreading to step foot in the room, I think she knew that.
I was comforted by her presence. She was probably the only one I could trust here now.
Felix grudgingly agreed and we made our way up.
I hesitated as we stood in front of the door.
Bethany gave my shoulder a soft squeeze.
It'll be ok Edward. I've been given permission to go after Ella, I'll make sure she's ok.
I was surprised they would let her but grateful for it all the same. I nodded in her direction and she walked across the corridor into her own room.
Felix rolled his eyes. "Come on, we don't have all day. Get your ass in there emo boy. I'll be out here standing guard, so don't think you can try to escape." He hissed.
I growled at him. He knew very well I wouldn't try to leave. I had already agreed to stay to save Seth and my Bella. I wouldn't do anything stupid to risk their lives.
I walked forward and stepped into the room.
I faintly heard Felix slam the door behind me.
Bella's scent still lingered in the room. Breathing it in was sweet torture.
My chest tightened and I nearly let my cries over take me again.
The sun shone through the windows and a white glint on the table caught my eye.
And just like that my world crumbled before my eyes again.
I rushed towards it and fell back onto the couch.
I stared at it, trying to will it with my mind to disappear.
My mother's ring, Bella's ring, lay there before me.
I carefully picked it up and brought it to my chest. I then brought it back up to my view.
No.
Bella.
I let it fall to the ground.
My Bella.
What have I done to her?
The soft clinking noise of metal hitting the floor was the last thing I consciously heard before the furniture began to fly around the room.
I lifted the couch easily and flung it through the opposite wall. I punched through the glass top of the table in front of me, smirking as the glass bounced off my hands without so much as a scratch. When I caught my reflection in a mirror hanging up on the wall I grimaced. I looked lethal, dangerous, like a true vampire. My bright, crimson eyes seemed to glow and I grew uneasy and disgusted with myself. I threw a vase across the room right into the mirror. It shattered into thousands of pieces. I could see each shard fall to the ground in slow motion. In each piece I saw starring back at me the monster that I was. The monster my family lived so hard to not become.
I was ashamed.
I looked away quickly. I walked towards the staircase leading up to the second floor.
When I entered the room I tried to ignore the memories that arose. I quickly sprinted to the bathroom and jumped in, clothes and all. I turned the hot water all the way on and let the water fall onto my face.
It was weird to feel every solitary drop fall onto my skin. Quite annoying actually, but it only distracted me for a moment before the sick memory of the last time a saw my Bella passed before my eyes. She was so torn, so heartbroken.
My hands gripped at the tile in front of me. The ceramic crumbled beneath my hands effortlessly.
I did that to her.
I would never forgive myself.
For hours I sat crouched in the corner where the couch used to be, staring at the ring on the ground.
And that's where I was when the door creaked open. My head snapped up. When I recognized the scent as Aro's I quickly jumped up. I took the ring from the floor and put it in my pocket before he could fully open the door.
His eyes quickly glanced around room.
"What's with all the destruction?" He glared at me then just as quickly, his eyes softened and his voice grew calm. He waved it off. "No matter, I will send someone to clean it. Next time you feel the need to redecorate, don't take it upon yourself to do it."
"Have you let go of Seth?" I asked impatiently.
He smirked. "Now why would I do a thing like that?"
I growled and went to tear him apart but I couldn't move.
Laurent then made himself known by appearing from the door way.
"Did you think I would come unprotected?" he laughed. He paced around me and continued to speak calmly. "We need to discuss our few new rules with you."
"Screw your rules Aro! You said you would let Seth go if I did what you said!" I growled.
Aro stopped in front of me.
"I did no such thing. I only said I would grant him his freedom. I never said when that would happen." He grinned.
I let out a deep animalistic growl that resonated throughout the room and hall. Aro didn't so much as flinch.
"Now, back to our rules." He continued as if nothing. "You will speak only if spoken to. You will not leave this room unless escorted out. You will feed with us every day down in the great hall. Our diet will be your diet, no substitutes. And lastly, from this moment forward you will address me only as Master." I tried to speak again but I found I wasn't able to move my mouth. I was only able to whimper.
Aro smirked in triumph. "We will be feeding shortly so don't make yourself to comfortable."
Aro walked out the door and Laurent followed suit. As the door clicked shut the power holding me in place gave way and I fell to the ground.
What the hell have I gotten myself into?
My first twenty four hours as a full vampire were a complete nightmare.
The first of many I presume.
I buried my head in my hands. It was almost time to feed again.
The Volturi had never fed as much as they have recently. There has been two feedings in one day rather than the one feeding every other day they were used to. I knew they were only feeding to taunt me.
I had tried my best during the first feeding to not feed from any of the humans.
My best efforts on holding my breath and not be tempted failed miserably. The loud pumping of blood through their veins made my thirst extremely painful. I didn't last one second before the humans were led into the chamber.
The second time however, being recently fed, allowed me to control myself fairly better. Unfortunately for me, it gave Jane the chance to shock me all to hell until I regretfully agreed to feed again.
There is no use in fighting it. Regardless it will happen so why fight it any more?
Every time I sunk my teeth into each human the bliss I felt was more than I had ever thought it would be. I was disgusted in myself.
What would Dad think of me now?
I shook my head. I probably won't ever see him again, so why dwell on the matter?
Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps through the hall outside. They hastily stopped at my door and pulled it open. It was Felix and he had a grim, and slightly fearful, look in his eyes.
"Quick, to the Great Hall at once." He said right before he disappeared.
I hesitated, what the hell was going on?
"Now!" he yelled from somewhere in the stairwell.
I rushed after him and made it to the Hall entrance before he did.
I was much faster than any of them so it seemed.
Everyone in the Hall was positioned in their places for a formal Volturi judging.
I walked slowly up to the Brothers.
"Stand to the left of me and keep your mouth shut." Aro hissed in barely a whisper.
I did as he said and stood two feet away from his left. Beside me Felix stood guard.
Shortly afterward the room had been filled with almost the entire guard.
I didn't understand what was happening. I strained to listen to the guard's whispered conversations but it was a lost cause. In my efforts to listen to them I didn't realize the footsteps of others about to join us until the room went silent and all eyes were on the doors.
I smelled her before I saw her.
Edward.
It was the only word I heard from her before her mind went completely silent, as did everyone else's behind her. That one single word, said with such longing, was almost my downfall. I wanted nothing more than to run to her, take her in my arms and run as far from Volterra as possible. I also noticed their numbers. All of my family and close friends were there. It had only been a few days, I already missed them terribly. If only I could–
"Stay where you are boy!" Felix hissed quietly in my ear.
I flinched and let my eyes wander to the ground. I couldn't look at them. I couldn't afford to make a mistake. Any false move and Aro would have Bella murdered. He would have them all murdered.
"Isabella," Aro spoke loudly. "I am quite disappointed in you. Why have come back, and with so many followers, to my castle?"
I chanced a glance up.
Bella was looking straight at me with dangerous eyes as they flickered to Aro's gaze. She glared at him as she spoke.
"I do not seek a battle Aro. I only wish to take back what's mine." She said determined. Her eyes shifted back to me and her eyes softened. Desperation seemed to be clouding her beautiful golden eyes.
"What is yours you say?" Aro laughed. "Do my ears deceive me or did young Edward say he wanted nothing to do with you anymore?"
Bella's eye twitched and she again looked back at Aro.
"I know what you have against him Aro. And if you had any brains you would let him go willingly." She growled. Her voice laced with pure venom.
Caius hissed and took a step forward. Aro lifted his hand to stop him. I could tell from the look in Aro's eyes he was thoroughly pissed at Bella's threat.
"I haven't the slightest idea of what you are talking about Isabella. And do mind to who you are speaking with. Do not question my authority or my intelligence again." He said with a slight growl to his voice.
"Aro, you've become power hungry. Your intelligence has definitely decreased if you think I'm going to sit back and let you take him away from me just because you want his power on your guard!" Bella yelled back at him.
And in a split second she was on the ground clutching at her head. Her piercing scream echoed throughout the silent hall.
Alice and Esme rushed out towards her but Bethany pulled them back before they could touch her.
"No! Don't, it only makes it worse if you touch her…" she pleaded.
My eyes widened as I realized what was happening.
I made to run to her but a pair of arms grabbed me by the shoulders. "Not a chance, pretty boy."
More than anything I wanted to kill Felix in this moment.
I turned to face Jane. She was smirking as she glared at my beloved. I growled murderously.
"Stop it! Leave her alone you filthy–"
And just as suddenly as it started, Bella's screams stopped. Jane's eyes widened in fear.
I instantly turned back around.
Bella was panting and began to lift herself up.
I heard a few gasps and then realized Felix had loosened his grip. I took my chance.
I ran to her.
"Stop him!" Caius growled.
Demetri and Felix rushed forward to stop me. But there arms grabbed hold of nothing but air.
I was faster.
I reached down to help my Bella from the ground and cupped my hand to her cheek. I searched her eyes for forgiveness.
She smiled.
My heart exploded at the sight of it.
I took her in my arms, never wanting to let go.
Aro's menacing growl broke me slightly away from her warmth to look back at them.
The brother's were livid. Everyone else standing guard had perplexed looks on their faces.
"Come back to your rightful place, Edward. You don't want to make the wrong decision do you?" An evil smirk appeared on his ancient face.
My heart sank as I realized what this would mean.
Aro laughed at my conflicting emotions.
Suddenly, I could hear the whispered thoughts of my family. Benji must be lifting his shield.
"Have you already forgotten our plans?" he continued.
The whispers steadily became loud and clear.
Emmett's voice rang the loudest. Those idiots. Wait until the wolves get up here. I can't wait to see their faces when they show up with Seth at there side ready to fight.
I smiled as I saw in his mind that the wolves had gone through the secret tunnels leading to the dungeons.
Aro furrowed his brow at my change in demeanor.
"Never." I spat.
His fists clenched at his sides and he seemed ready to attack me at any moment.
Bethany's mind practically screamed at me to listen.
She was showing me an image. It was of Bella and I joined in hand at this very moment. Only I was more of a glowing white figure holding onto my Bella. She was showing me her gift. I didn't understand.
You have the power to remove other's gifts Edward! You accidentally took Ella's! You need to give them back, or we'll all die here…
I did what?
I tightened my grip on Bella's hand. I didn't have the slightest idea how I took her gift away let alone how I would be giving it back to her.
She seemed to realize what I was doing and held my hand just as tight.
"You've come to try and overtake us!" Caius growled. "I told you Aro. Look, she's even brought the Romanians. This has nothing to do with the boy. She's after our thrones!"
Aro pondered his accusation with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Yes, that does seem to be the case. Edward must be just an excuse to come in the first place. Very disloyal, Isabella. I'm very disappointed indeed."
"Tyrants." Esme took a brave step forward. "The three of you should be ashamed! Our race depends on you as our form of government, we trust you to be fair. The unjust in all of this is sickening. We've only come to take Edward home."
"Ah Esme, a woman of your character shouldn't keep this type of company by your side. I would much rather you not be harmed. I can assure you I will not harm you if you just stand aside. And you as well, Carlisle."
Dad, who had been oddly quiet, stepped forward and stood by his wife.
"We have not come to overthrow you, what Esme says is true." He stated in a calm and leveled voice. "We've only come to take my son home."
Aro laughed darkly.
"Come now, Carlisle! Do you think I'm that thick into believing she has formed an army of followers just to have Edward back at her side? Nonsense. I am almost ashamed to call you a friend after seeing you join in their foul antics. Surely you won't side with her if this ends badly?"
He glared at Aro. "I will stand by my family."
Aro shook his head, feigning disappointment.
"Very well, if that's what it comes down to." Aro looked to his left. Felix was grinning ear to ear.
Bella stepped forward.
"And what about you Aro?"
"What about what?" he questioned back.
"Did you stand by your family?" she retorted.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He furrowed his brows as he answered.
Suddenly Bella went ridged. She stood stiff and fell backwards slightly. I caught her before she hit the ground.
"Bella!" I cried. I had never seen anything like this before.
Aro gasped and took a hesitant step forward to look at Bella more closely.
I growled at him and took Bella's face in my hand.
"Bella…Love, what's going on?"
I frantically searched into her now colorless white eyes.
Her mind was silent to me. She wasn't moving or breathing. She wasn't responding in any way.
Long and painful seconds passed by.
Her chest heaved suddenly and she bolted upright, a scream of only one word escaped her lips.
"Didyme!"
Sorry about this awful awful cliff hanger, but I didn't think I should keep writing for this chapter. It ended where it needed to.
I'll tell you this right now though: Don't go thinking Didyme's back from the grave! She's still as dead as ever, and no her ghost will not be showing up either. Lol
Now that that's out of the way… I promise to not go this long again without posting up a new chapter. I feel so horrible about how much time as passed.
I hope you guys can forgive me for the long wait!
I should have Domino Effect's new chapter up within the next few days.
Thanks for sticking with me!
