CHAPTER 10

The flight took a total of seven hours to continent zero, once we landed I took her in the car waiting for us there and started the drive to my parent's grave.

The drive has gone about 30 minutes now, and she woke up a few minutes ago, she didn't say anything but she just kept crying, while I couldn't even bring myself to look her in the eyes.

When we reached the outside of town, I parked the car and came out and picked her up and started walking towards the grave, it's been a while but, everything looked the same, just like it never changed.

I could still hear her sniffing and my shirt was soaked at the part she cried in, so I spoke up,

"What happened, to you?"

In between the cries she looked up but broke down again, it took a few minutes before she could finally speak up,

"A-after you left, I was sad, I didn't know where to go and even then said something so harsh to you, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" she started again,

"continue," I say to her as we passed a tree that I remember touching back then.

"Victoria said that I could stay with her and her friend until you come back and I thought it would be fine, so I followed her. We had reached her place and her friend was waiting for us, her friend looked familiar but I didn't remember where I saw her before, she greeted me nicely and invited me in, and that's when it all started." She says wiping her eyes

"from the moment I entered their house, it wasn't a house, it was a torture chamber, there were heads everywhere, limbs and blood coated the entire house, I was so scared I turned to leave but Victoria knocked me out and when I woke up I was on tied to the wall, being punched, cut, beaten everywhere, and all they wanted was to have my contract." When I heard this, I couldn't contain my anger, but, I calmed down, she's going to die, I don't have the time to be angry.

" They tortured me from that day till Thursday when I heard Victoria say that they were going to have an event and that I was already on the brink of death, it's a waste to keep being here. Her friend picked up a syringe and gave Victoria, and told her to throw my body away once she injected me with the poison and when she released me and took me out into the woods, she stabbed me with the knife and stabbed the poison into my vein. I felt dizzy and fell, she said that if I had just given them the contract, it would have ended with me dying painlessly. Dami I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you, I'm so sorry" she said as she started crying even more at the ending.

We had reached the site and I stood in front of my parent's grave that I built for them, it was destroyed by the wind but here it was,

"This is where they died, where I died," I say to her and look towards the direction where the cliff that Michael and I liked to stay was.

After looking at the grave a bit more, I carried her to the cliff and I sat with her on my lap and her head on my chest,

"Heights. Michael and I loved this cliff because of two things, heights and trust. It's known that the only time someone can be true to you or show their true colours are when they're either going to die or they're scared, when you bring someone high enough, you'll see who they are, and whether you can trust them, live for them, die for them, kill, for them. I am angry, angry I didn't see this coming, angry you're like this, angry about everything. " I say looking over the fading sun, she couldn't be kept alive for the whole day, she's losing her vitality fast and I can feel it.

"Dami," she says but I don't look at her,

"Dami!" I turn to her.

"I'm so sorry, I know I messed up, and I'm willing to fix that, if I had the time I would, but for now, just, accept this okay?" she says as she puts her right hand on my neck right side.

"what are you-" I get cut off by her chanting, she was casting something, I wasn't sure what, but from how her body is losing the heat in them, she's dying faster now

"Stop. STOP!!!" I don't out but it was already done, the spell was complete and my neck itched a bit but it was fine, what did she do?

...

"-angry about everything" he wasn't looking at me, since we came here he refused to look at me even once, not once...I messed up this time.

"Dami" I call out to him, but he didn't turn to me.

"Dami!" he turned to me.

"I'm so sorry, I know I messed up, and I'm willing to fix that, if I had the time I would, but for now, just, accept this okay?" I say, putting my hand on the right side of his neck, I heard the wolves mark each other on the neck to show that they've taken our mates and I know he will find his mate, but I hate the thought of him forgetting me.

"what are you-" he starts but I've already started chanting, I could feel myself dying, rapidly, but I have to complete this, I have to give him the contract or else I'll never forgive myself for everything he's done for me since the day he helped me from the alleyway till now, I have to complete it.

"Stop. STOP!!!!" he shouts but I already finished, my contract was now on his neck where the mark should be, he is mine.

I caught it in my hands and the blood was blue now, it hurts...

"You know my powers, don't you... I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy and I'm sorry I said those harsh things to you. I love you, Damien, always, and forever." I say as I felt my consciousness leaving, he was teary-eyed now, I felt him bring me up to his face in a hug, and I tried to muster up the strength to hug him back, but I did, but I couldn't.

"I love you too, Isabella, I forgive you and-" he says but I closed my eyes as the darkness took me, I smiled, he loved me too.

...

She's gone.

I stood up from where I sat with her in my arms and walked back to my parent's grave.

"Michael, Esther, this is Isabella, she's family," I say and drop her body on the ground before turning into my wolf, Klaus and digging a hole in her body.

Once that was done I licked her up slowly and dropped her in the hole, before covering it up. I turned back and put on my clothes. Then I tidied the place and put a stone from the cliff on top of her grave, with her name on it.

I stood there for a while, before remembering there was an event on Sunday, I looked at her grave once more and turned back and left, my mind scattered with thoughts,

'i left here alone to kill those who did this but I came back with another body to bury and still haven't accomplished what I set out to do before.'

I stop and sigh as I look up at the sky, I tried being nice aunt j, but, this time, I'll do this my way.
