Chapter 20
“Areyouready?”Asonasked, as he took my hand in his.
It had been three weeks since we had saved Shadow Legacy Academy.
Three long weeks of recovering from being hit by the Dark Magic Witch’s magic.
My classes had resumed and for the most part, I was feeling much better. The hardest part had been convincing my mom to let me stay at the school. While she had been excited to hear that I was a powerful Seet and had helped destroy the curse, she didn’t like knowing the danger that I had put myself in.
With the help of Ason, my friends, and of course, the Headmaster, we talked her into letting me remain.
Now, as I walk into the ballroom with Ason, my mind recalls an evening not too long ago that sparked the debacle we had just survived.
On the night of the Unveiling Ceremony, I had enjoyed dancing with Ason, but our time together had been quickly ruined. Thankfully, the academy decided to host another dance to make up for the ball after the ceremony being ruined, and to celebrate the end of the long-running curse.
Candi had found me a gold dress that hugged my hips and sparkled against the lights. It was beautiful and made me feel like a princess.
Staring at Ason, I wondered how I had gotten so lucky to have found him. Sure, our start had been rough, but I was happy where we were now.
“I’m ready,” I say, walking into the ballroom.
Like last time, the space is decorated immaculately, but they changed the decor.
We danced a few slow songs, holding tightly onto one another while we pretended as though the rest of the world didn’t exist.
Spinning me, Ason pulls me back closer so that his warm breath is caressing my cheek.
"I don't know what it is, but there's something about you that I can't resist,” he whispers into my ear.
My cheeks flush and my heart flutters. I love how he can be so sweet and kind that my head spins.
“Then don’t fight it,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.
While I was in the infirmary, Ason had told me that he wanted us to be a team, but ever since then, we haven't really talked about what that meant. I guess he wanted to have the conversation here.
On the dance floor.
"I don't know if you feel the same way, but I'm starting to fall for you,” he declared, stopping his movements and staring deeply into my eyes.
"I've never felt this way before. I'm falling for you, too," I replied.
It felt so natural being in his arms.
“Let’s go outside into the courtyard,” Ason said, taking my hand and leading us away from the rest of the world and into our own little sanctuary.
Outside, the sky was blanketed by bright, shining stars. We stood side-by-side, my body resting against his as we stared up at the peaceful sky.
"I could stay here with you forever," Anson said, squeezing my hand. A soft breeze blew through the air. I felt like it was just me and Anson in the world right now.
“Me, too,” I sighed into him.
So much had happened between us in a very short period of time. All I wanted was to continue learning and growing at Shadow Legacy Academy and discover where my relationship with Ason would go.
With the curse lifted, we could all rest easy now and finally live our lives at the academy the way we were supposed to.
I knew in time, something else could go wrong, but for now, I just wanted to enjoy being a Seer and the power and beauty that came with my life.
The End
