“By killing her,”
Morgan voiced, standing next to me.
“Don’t you think this is hard for us as well? Naomi isn’t just a vessel. She’s one of us. But someone has to think rationally and make a hard choice. And believe me, it’s better it’s us than to be any of you. Naomi’s sacrifice will save us all, and perhaps that has always been her destiny,”
Elder Alex uttered, and I remained frozen on my boots, even as they retreated away and left our territory.
I couldn’t stop the hot tears that escaped my eyes. That couldn’t be her destiny. The goddess could never be that cruel to give her such fate.
Never.
Naomi’s point of view
I had no way of knowing exactly how many hours had gone by since my mother’s spell room was located underground in the castle. But I knew with the long, torturous hours that had wandered by, it had to be dusk by now.
I inhaled, resting against the wooden frame of the bed. Killian still hasn’t returned, and I haven’t seen Kaiser nor Valerie since I had woken up. The only people that had wandered around were Lorenzo and Zena when they came to fetch my blood, and I could feel Leonardo’s presence behind those doors, but he couldn’t muster the strength to face me again.
I closed my eyes, and tears rolled out. They never stopped coming, even so now that I could feel the end was near. I had made a choice already, one Killian would never forgive me for, but I would never forgive myself, knowing I was the cause of so many deaths including my family. I had chosen to just let go. To stop fighting, to stop trying, and for once accept my fate.
I burst out in tears; I couldn’t hold it in anymore. What I was about to do was the hardest thing I had ever done. And I was not okay with it, but I had no choice. It was either me or everyone I loved.
The time was already drawing close, as I could feel the magical shield weakening, and I was slowly regaining my magic. But I was suppressing it all, including Adie. It made it easier to fight the voice in my head. I kept hearing the darkness speak to me. It was now like a part of me. An opposite version of me that was dark and evil, and wanted to break free.
I was up from the bed, dragging my weak body to the golden ring that formed the shield. I lifted my hand, pulling it to the shield, and my hand passed right through. I was right, my magic was slowly swallowing up the magic from the shield.
I returned to the bed, and the door opened, ushering in Lorenzo. He had brought me a glass of water, but I shook my head. I had earlier refused the food Denise had brought for me. I couldn’t stomach food or water right now. “What time is it?”
I asked Lorenzo, who moved closer to the shield.
“Almost midnight,”
he replied and folded my arms against my chest. No wonder I was feeling this way. “Naomi,”
He drew closer again and I could see his unshed tears. “I am sorry,”
he added, and I felt my heart jam at his words, and my tears began flowing. “It’s not your fault or anyone else,”
I said.
“It’s not your fault either, and I wish I could do something to help you, but everything leads to nothing,”
he uttered.
“I know, Enzo, and believe me, I appreciate everything everyone has done,”
I walked to the shield, “I know that there’s nothing anyone can do to help me and we need to accept it,”
I said. “I have accepted it,”
I watched his tears fall, and his eyes didn’t blink at all. “Thank you for being there for me all this time,”
I told him.
“So what’s now?”
he asked, exhaling deeply.
“I need to see my brothers,”
I said and pain pierced my heart. “Everyone,”
He held my gaze for a painful second before nodding. “Alright,”
I watched him leave, pulling up the sleeve of my dress. My eyes fell on the dark lines that had begun to form in my veins.
“What happened? Lorenzo said-“
I snapped my head to the door where Leonardo came from, and immediately, he stopped talking as his eyes fell on the dark lines on my body. I saw the tears that were quick to gather, he couldn’t hide it away this time. “Naomi,”
he spoke barely above a whisper, moving closer, and just then, Kaiser stepped in.
“Finally, I am able to see you both,”
I said, almost chuckling, pulling down the sleeves of my dress. My blue eyes moved from Leonardo’s blue to Kai’s deep hazel ones and I smiled. “I wish I could give you both a hug right now,”
I uttered, fighting my tears. “I uhm…l just want to say…”
“Naomi, please don’t,”
Kaiser stopped me immediately. “I beg you don’t,”
he pleaded and the instant tears that fell from his eyes made me break.
“I have to say this, Kai. We can’t keep deceiving ourselves anymore. We know what’s going to happen and the painful truth is there’s no way, I’m going to make it,”
I said, and hearing the words leave my lips, I realized how badly I wished this was only a nightmare that I could wake up from. “It’s stupid to risk everyone’s life for just mine, and I would never be able to live knowing I caused the deaths of those I love dearly. If this darkness wins this war, everyone will die by my hands and I do not want that so please, save me from that fate,”
“You must be crazy, Naomi. After everything, how could you just give up like this?”
Kaiser was stalking the floors, vibrating with intense rage and pain. “How could you say something like that to us?”
“It’s not only the truth, Kai, but the reality of things,”
I muttered, and he stopped pacing. His blurry vision on me.
My gaze shifted to Leonardo whose gaze was glassy as well, and his hands clenched tightly behind his back.
“We can’t fight this,”
I said, wanting to make this less hard than it was for me.
“You have no idea what I would give, just so to have that thing inside of me, and save you from this,”
Leonardo counted each word of his, and they only made me cry harder.
“I know,”
I nodded, knowing he meant each word. “I know if it was up to you both, you would save me from everything,”
I added, breaking a smile. “Even with all those years apart, both of you never stopped searching for me until you found me. I am grateful for that, and I love both of you,”
