I will die before I allow any harm to any of them, I will die before I allow the rise of the Warlock to overshadow all the good that has been the core of Eternity Fae for Centuries. He has won this battle, but he hasn’t won the war because if we have the sisters on our side, we still have a chance.

Looking at Hope I smile, as long as I have Hope in my life I have won. Hope calms the savage side of my nature, she brings light into my life, into the life of those that have the privilege of being close to her.

HOPE 13

It has been seven days since the attack, seven days of rebuilding of planning, of reinforcing the tunnels. Seven days to mourn the death of some, the incapacitation of others and healing the injured. Every day, Vain, Rea, Dream and me have got together trying to find a spell that will help Darius, that will help all those that have been frozen.

Seven days that we have despaired as the days come to an end without us being able to help them. The men have agreed among themselves to go out and spy on the camps, they have decided to use their own skills and powers instead of using the Dragons as we are still not sure if there is a spy among us.

Every time they leave, one of them stays behind to make sure that we behave. When they come back, we have recruited Cole to help guide them in as only a Dragon can enter after our spell, therefore, Cole has to guide them back into the tunnels or they wouldn’t be able to enter.

Today is the first day that Trek has stayed behind, the first day that we will have a chance to speak, a chance to be together, a minute of peace in a time of war. Before this war started the most important thing to me was Trek, I was obsessed with knowing everything about him, with trying to make him like me, with trying to figure out if he liked me. Now that I know he is my mate, I want to have time to enjoy that information, want to be able to spend the time with him to understand our connection, but this war is stopping us from enjoying the natural flow of our life.

This war has taken away the joy of us knowing each other. I know that this war won’t last for ever, that wars change us, that they destroy what is beautiful and make it ugly. Toron isthe worst of every being, he has disrupted the natural flow of happiness that existed within Eternity Fae, he has oppressed the beings into hiding, into a time of darkness, a time of change.

I believe that we will win this war, that it will be a change for the better, a change that will allow all the beings to grow closer together with their differences, their hopes and wishes to survive. Learning more about each other and appreciating each other’s strengths.

I look up from my bowl of food to see Trek leaning against the entrance to the eating area, his gaze intense as he looks at me. We have not discussed our kiss from when he woke up after returning from the Goblins camp. We haven’t discussed our bond, or what we see our future to be. I feel my chest tighten as I think of the future.

I want to discuss our future, I know that now we don’t see a future because of the constant danger that we are in, but soon there will be a crack in the wall of this evil that has coved us, and then we will see the light that will fill everyone’s future. I smile, inclining my head towards the chair before me for him to come and sit.

He steps away from the wall making his way around the other tables as he heads towards me, his amber gaze sending tingles up my spine. His hair wild, evident that he has run his fingers through its mass a few times.

I have noticed that Trek has the habit of running his fingers through his hair when irritated. Something that happens quite often when he is around me. My smile widens at the thought.

“You seem happy,” he murmurs as he takes a seat. I shrug not wanting to divulge my daydreams to him.

“Aren’t you eating?” I ask as he doesn’t move to take any food for himself.

“I ate earlier,” he replies.

“You must have got back late yesterday; I didn’t see you get back” I say. Since finding out that I can sense where he is and be able to talk to him telepathically that we have stayed connected when he is out scouting. A bond has grown between us unknowingly from communicating telepathically. I know that Dream has been trying to speak to Drez telepathically, but with no success.

“Toron has moved Love,” Trek’s words have me gasping in surprise.

“When?” I ask, “How do you know?”

“I’m not sure when, but we haven’t seen or sensed her in the camp this week” his words have my stomach tensing, the food that I have just consumed feeling like a big rock in my stomach. Trek takes my shaking hand in his, the warmth of his skin a soothing balm to my fear. “She will be fine, but I think that Dream needs to go back to the human realm and see if Beast is healed. He will be able to track her easier than any of us.”

“Why, can’t you find her scent?” my heart is racing at his words as I know that Trek is the best tracker in Eternity Fae, if he cannot find Love, I despair that she is lost to us for ever.

“I think that Toron has placed a masking spell on your sister which is stopping me from finding her, but I think that Love and Beast have a connection that will guide Beast in finding her.”

His words make sense, but I worry because only Love can control Beast, he doesn’t answer to anyone but her. “He might get hurt,” I reply, “you know how wild he is, what if he rushes into wherever she is, and they hurt him again.”

“At the moment, he is the only option that I come up with to find Love,” Trek states, “you have tried to do a location spell tono avail, as Toron has masked her location.” He is right, we have tried every day to locate Love with different spells, trying to see her, trying to sense her, trying to locate her, but none of it has helped as we haven’t been able to find her.

“Also, I think that we need to let your parents know what is happening. Jinx might be able to know how we can stop Toron, or if he has any weaknesses.” Trek says, “If Dream goes back and explains everything to them of what has been happening, they might have ideas of how we can fight them, and Dream can bring Beast back.”

“Has Drez agreed to this?”

“Drez will go with her,” Trek replies. His thumb is stroking the top of my hand, the movement calming me. “Don’t worry, Dream and Shok will be safer than we are here.”

“I’m not worried about them going to the Human realm, I am worried about bringing Beast back here. If anything happens to Beast, Love will never forgive us.”

“I can communicate with Beast when I’m in my Wolf form,” his revelation has me gasping in surprise. “We didn’t think anyone could communicate with him.”

“I promised him that I wouldn’t let anyone know,” Trek says.
