IN THE SHADOWS

     “How is that even possible?” Vivian gasped. “What does that even mean, Ava?”


     “It means that when you and Everett come together, it is going to create a power like no one has ever seen before. A power that can be used to protect the entire world. You and Everett, together, is what will save us all.”


     Vivian felt the crushing pressure against her chest, the idea of Everett and her together crashing against her as her mind was flooded with all the feelings she was trying to suppress. Everett had used her, was still using her. Vivian had accepted the fact that Everett was doing this all for only one person - Cici. She was the person he was meant to be with. He was doing all this to free her soul so she could be reborn, live out her millions of lives with Everett according to him. So this prophecy was wrong. Ava was wrong. All of it was just wrong.
