"I'd still be lonely," I whispered, allowing the tension to leave my body as I relaxed into His hold. I thought He'd be cold, like the water, or how Darkness was always perceived.
For once, it was warm, and I couldn't feel more at home. I thought He'd let me fall, or inflict pain on me for giving up on today's fight, but today was different.
He held me, and for a split second, I wondered if He could be a living person as well. I knew the person He was currently using was nothing but a host. He didn't have a body, but if He gained His Queen, He certainly would.And that would be the end of our dimension as we know it.
Even with all of this information lingering in my head, I still let go, enjoying the dark companionship of an entity who was similar to me.
One that would eventually fade and be nothing once more.Just like me.
Before my mind faded into the Darkness that surrounded me, I heard His last words.

~CELESTIA~
"Yes, Mom. Let me get Finn. Please, Mom?! I really want to be there," I whined in the phone quietly, hoping Finn didn't hear me.
"Yes. He's finishing his shower. Eww, Mom! I won't get distracted like that. Ugh, this sounds too weird coming from you. Yes, fifteen minutes and we'll be there...maybe twenty, but I'll make sure we're there. Love you."
I smiled at the phone, watching the picture of Mom and me on the Caller ID that showed 58:00 minutes.Today was my sixth day at Alpha Pure, and it was the most relaxing one yet.
Magnor had teleported back to Aslan to let the others know I was fine and taking a moment to relax from the Trials before coming back. When he arrived, he assured us the school was still standing, and Othello, Miolana, and the others were doing a spectacular job holding the fort during our absence.
His visit had helped calm my anxiety and worry about the others, since our phones only worked within the protective barrier that hid Alpha Pure's location from shifters, humans, and even Forsaken.
Today I was going on a little date with Finn, wanting to enjoy some alone time, but Mom requested to formally meet him first. Orion would be around too, but I guess she wished to enjoy being formally introduced to my boyfriends.Or future husbands, seeing as they had already claimed me as their wife thanks to those blessed marks.
I looked down at the mark on my chest that was on display and smiled to myself at how he'd saved me from the Darkness in the stormy night.
I'd talked with Mom for a while, discussing plans for this mini date we were going on after we spoke with her, but there was a lot of planning involved. Finn had walked in while I was chatting with my mother, and I had to encourage him to shower so that I could finish my conversation with her for the sake of not delaying the date.
It was rather stupid for me to be acting like this was my first date ever, but there was meaning to everything, and I couldn't help being super excited for it all.
I giggled and ran over to the mirror to make sure I was dressed nicely.
My gaze scanned the long pink dress decorated with different colored flowers sprinkled with glitter. The sleeveless v-neck dress showed a good bit of my cleavage but seeing as my mother chose it, I assumed it wasn't against the rules.
Mom informed me that the baby pink dress was made by the Pixies yesterday, and I thought it was the finest material I’d ever seen.
Apparently, they loved showing some skin with their attire, and they assured that my dress was something they would wear at their special events, or in this case, my date.
My hair was left down by Orion's recommendation, and the one thin gold strand of my hair had tripled this week. My hair was now a mix of pink and purple with thick gold highlights.
I always figured my hair had a mind of its own, but I was getting a little confused by the rapid transition the last couple weeks. Maybe I was dealing with this color shift disaster because I'd stopped dying it black. The only good thing was it actually went well with my overall look, and everyone assumed I'd just been working on it.
My makeup was simple and courtesy of my mother who'd helped me out before she'd gone off to organize where Finn and I could have our date. My eyeshadow was a glittering pink that shifted to a deep purple with a slight shimmer, the shade dark enough to give me nice smokey eyes. Topped with waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and a set of lashes, I looked very different than my usual look.
The pink blush she'd applied matched my complexion perfectly, which I found out later was because it was Mom's and matched hers.
I hadn't put on my lip gloss yet, knowing I wouldn't be able to resist kissing Finn at least once before we headed out. Once I had a few minutes of sweet kisses and passionate tongue action, I'd finish the makeup look with a light pink gloss with gold sparkles.
I made sure my white wedges were comfortable, just in case the place we were headed was mostly grass and required me to walk through the soft absorbent soil that wasn't very sturdy.
The click of the door caught my attention, and I walked over to my pink purse to slip my phone inside before I turned. My breath caught as I caught sight of Finn in an elegant white suit. His short pink hair had grown in length but wasn't long enough to reach his shoulders. He'd gelled it back, and he'd shaved to give him a smooth look, reminding me of when we'd first met before our written exam. His undershirt was a baby pink like my dress and his tie a mixture of pink and white stripes.
He walked towards me, and I gave him a seductive smile as my gaze trailed over his appearance again.
"Lucky Charms looks very charming in a suit," I purred, wrapping my arms around his neck. Those large hands of his landed on my upper waist and slowly glided down my curvy body, stopping at my hips.
