1. This Pain

EVANGELINE.

I gasp, as Zed is thrown to the ground so unexpectedly that he doesn’t have time to protect himself. His head slams into the rocks behind him and I cry out in panic and fear.

What have I done?!

I attempt to rush towards him, my heart thundering violently, guilt and agony tearing through me. To my horror, my body refuses to move. That darkness and unease that has been circling me, strengthens immensely.

What is going on?

Why did I react so cruelly towards him?

Almost as if I have no control of my body. Isa had just explained everything to me so why am I hurting him?

I try to move, try to explain, but I’m unable to.

He’s hurting!

“Evangeline.” He says as he sits up, and it breaks me to see there is only worry and regret in those eyes of his, despite the blood that is dripping down the back of his neck.

Zed…

“Baby girl, are you ok?” He approaches me, uncaring of his own injury.

1 hurt him… how could I hurt him…

He raises his hand, reaching for me, when I feel as if I’m being pulled away.

No, be angry at me….

But there’s no anger, just worry, love and sadness.

No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run away, I shouldn’t have let it get to me…

I feel even more hurt.

‘Luna, what’s happening? Why did I hurt him?’ I sob as everything around me seems to darken until I can no longer see Zed.

“We are cursed to be doomed… it is… out of our hands…’ Her faint voice comes. 1

The curse?

I know it isn’t Evelyn, but whatever I had felt had been powerful…

‘Luna! What do I do?!”

There’s no reply, and fear squeezes at my heart.

‘Zed!’ I shout fruitlessly, but I’m met by a block.

A sinister chuckle makes my blood run cold and I can almost hear the echoing of her footsteps within my mind.

Evelyn…

I have never felt her so strongly in my mind as I do now…

‘Oh, dear sister… Your jealousy, self-doubt, pain, and bitterness have weakened the barrier… it’s time I claim that throne.’ She chuckles darkly.

‘No. Evelyn, I promise you I will save you. Just give me some time!’ I beg, trying to look around.

‘The thing is, I don’t need saving anymore. The throne will be mine… Zerachiel and Zedkiel will be mine too. I don’t need you to save me anymore…’

‘No… please, wait!’

This can’t be happening!

This is my fault! Why did I get so angry?!

She chuckles. ‘Even now you don’t realise that you weren’t even in control of your own body earlier… There’s far more at play dear sister than just you and I…’

‘Zed will figure it out! Or Zerachiel will!’ I scream as I feel as if my soul is leaving my body.

I can feel Luna’s anguish, but she’s so far….

No… no! What have I done?

‘You mean, what have I done?’ Evelyn chuckles as I feel the shadows close down on me.
