Chapter 38

There are multiple tents set on the sand; both men and women are bathing in the water,

playing, and having fun. The strong wind blows against my hair, but it only reminds me of

something more substantial, or rather someone. It was an atmosphere where I’m supposed to feel at peace, yet I’m anything but peaceful. I know that it takes a while to recover from heartbreak, but I wasn’t sure that I’d ever been able to get over this one. What I had with Adam, even though it may have been fake for him,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) everything was real for me, and it was beautiful

while it lasted.

Every touch, every word we both said to each other, every experience left a mark inside of me. I’ve given a part of myself to him, something that he never deserved. I know that I should regret ever giving him a chance, but I don’t, not at all. Those memories that I have of him, I’ll always hold close to my heart. It doesn’t mean that I’ll allow him back into my life, however. Things weren’t as easy as that.

Word had already spread that I’d beaten him in the tournament, but no one knew that he let me win. They didn’t see everything that happened in the sky, everyone came up with their own stories, and those rumors were spreading.

I know Lizzie wasn’t happy with the results; she must have known that Adam let me win.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I don’t understand why he did it, however. Why let me win? Was it that so everyone would underestimate him when he finally decided to try and take over the world? It was the only explanation that I had. He must have been still playing games with me, with all of us; I couldn’t tell what was going on in that mind of his. Even though a small part of me wants to believe that he let me win because he cared about me, I quickly dismiss it. If he cared about me at all, he wouldn’t have used me the way he did.

I may know how to create more fire than before Adam started to train me, but I still did not have enough training to go up against him. On the other hand, he’s been preparing for this his entire life; I’ve only just started, I was not yet prepared. It didn’t mean that I wouldn’t fight back; however, I did plan on fighting back. Things weren’t as simple as they were back then; now, I knew that people’s lives were in danger as long as Adam continued with his horrendous plans.

I meant every word that I said to him the day I found out the truth. I wouldn’t just stand

back and let him win. I would constantly be the one force that kept him from getting what he

wanted. That meant that I needed to become stronger; now I knew that we were all in danger, 1 understood how important it was to work harder.

“Your mind is far,” Abigail says as she joins me. “I’ve been trying to catch your attention

I force a smile, “I’m just trying to cope with everything in my life. I feel like everything is

happening so quickly. I lost two close friends, who were never real friends, to begin with, then I found someone I fell so deeply for, and he turned out to be a liar. I am not sure where to go from here. There is so much that I didn’t know before now, so much that changes everything.”

“I’m still trying to figure out what happened between the two of you,” Abigail tells me.
