When it Rains..

Two days later..

Skylar POV

Tears came from my eyes like salted rain drops that tricked down my face. Today was the day I was going to leave Santa Carla and never come back. I was going home. Jacey was more distant to me over the past couple days. I could feel her hurting with another person leaving her life forever. Ace's and Xavier's betrayal reopened a wound that never did heal properly. The unseen wound was caused by her father's treason when he executed her mother in an act of "cleansing". She would never be the same girl and was losing her humanity everyday. She left home at age fourteen, to live on the streets of California, surviving the unforgiving and painful memories of endless years without a safe place to go. Jacey made it to the age of seventeen, but with many scarifies.

She hadn't been to school since she hit the streets, she didn't get to experience the awkward mid teen years with questions and wonder. She learned everything by herself and unforgivable acts along the way and found shelter in a place called Lily Bay. I learned the reason she settled there was because her mothers name was Lily and it reminded her of all the times with her mother. Her worst act was almost becoming a hooker to finally have the feeling of security. Jacey told me about her life without editing. Her hope faded and each day. She got stronger, but her ability to love and trust became weaker. Life on the streets made her empty and cold until she meant two boys, and then two girls that slowly became her network, her family. But like her father, she killed a family member without mercy and I could tell she was turning away and becoming cold after months of warmth. She was becoming lost and I would do anything for her since she helped me find myself.

When I first met Jacey, I was roaming the lonely streets of Lily Bay without knowledge of how to survive in a human's world. Cars, television, radio, and paved roads were all new to me. I became scared, regretting my plan to see the world before I was betrothed and unable to spread my wings.

My future husband, Emil, was my best friend growing up. Our union of friendship, trust, and love began at birth. We were destined to be together always. He stood by my side protecting me in the Amazon Jungle we called our home and my father, the king, his kingdom. I was Princess Skylar Rain to my people but to Emil, I was Sky, the center of his world. He would do anything for me just to make me a little bit happier. So when I told him I felt confined and wanted to see the world one last time.. he let me go. My race was mythical, pixies of the Amazon, protecting our lands from all invaders that meant to do harm. We are kind creatures but when yellow beasts come to tear down our trees, we defend ourselves. Making humans stay away from many parts of our kingdom because of the noises, sightings, and wild animals that come to aid us.

My glamour wore off.. I let my eyes turn back to the trait mark color of violet. The color of a future Queen of her people. The words of my father echoed in my head "Skylar.." His words trailed off, while his eyes held strong. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

I nodded. "I need to see what the world holds. I need some time before I take the crowd and take over to rule the Amazon. I need freedom first then I will come back." My father kissed my forehead and let me fly away.. I landed in Lily Bay a few weeks later.

I played with my hands waiting for them to return from the boardwalk. My heart broke when I saw them all laughing expect for Jacey. She clung to Dwayne, her life line, she never left his side and Dwayne knowing how fragile she was made sure he was always there for her. I made a weak smile, Jacey would be okay. Dwayne was her protector.

When they were settled I spoke up, my voice was shaking slightly, and I was unable to look anyone in the eyes. "I have something to say to you.." Jacey knew what was coming and molded her body into Dwayne. His hands wrapped around her torso while his head rested on her head comforting her from all her disarrayed thoughts. My explanation caused varies comebacks. I heard gawps, wows, and what's come from each of them.

"You cannot leave. The war has just begin and we need you!" Abby pleaded taking my hand. Her fingers were cold so unlike how Abby used to be with fire spreading threw her.. Now she was full of ice. When she became a vampire, Jacey still thought Abby was Abby but I could see the rabid animal in her eyes. She now scared me even though I didn't show it. Two of my friends were dead and Xavier was lost forever. Tears flowed down my already red cheeks.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you because what I am is a secret.." My pathetic excuse made me feel like a useless being. I was causing more pain. Marko came the closest he ever had to me. His hand lifted my chin as he gazed into my violet eyes. He didn't say a word which made it worse. I knew he had some feelings for me and I brushed him off curtly. Now he knew why. Paul wanted a look at my erotic eyes as well, but made some playful comments, fitting his personality.

"I would have loved to see those eyes everyday before bed." I blushed. Paul flirty comments always got to me. I hugged them and kissed each of there lips. A common show of affection for my people. It took them all by surprised at my intimate kiss. Marko's lips brushed mine I whispered "Your girl is out there.." in his ear before holding Jacey close. I kissed her lips letting our hug linger.

"Will we ever see you again." She didn't cry she was to cold to cry.

I shook my head "No. I will always remember you Jacey. You will always be my best friend no matter where life takes us." I let a tear fall down my cheek and captured it on my finger. I took out a potion bottle and carefully slid my single tear to rest on the bottom. My tear was tinted purple I placed the tiny bottle into her hand. "This is the most potent natural ingredient that you could ever hope to come across. You'll know how and when you need to release the power of a pixie tear when the situation comes." I looked into her green eyes finding an ounce of hope before I turned and walked away. I couldn't look back.. I wouldn't have been able to let go of them if I looked back.
