Missing You by Samara Fitzgerald (different ereaders TXT) 📖

ask any questions and just tell your squad to just ignore all of this and drive away.”

“How can we ignore it.” That’s when the police officers looked behind us and saw Logan in his huge wolf form, growling.

“Um, second thoughts, I think we will leave.” The police officer said as he spun his car around and drove away. I guess the police officer made the call because that’s when the other police cars turned around and followed him.

“Okay, we got one problem out of the way.” Sita says.

“You still have me!!!” we all hear a voice yell from the field. We all turned around as we see the bodies’ filled field. The Legna people were standing to the side and we see Venomar standing in the middle of the field with two people in a cloak. One of them was really short.

“Venomar, we defeated most of your people. Why don’t you just give up right now and we call it truce.” Sita yells to him.

“No. I will not leave until I get what I came here for. I want Ebony over here now.”

“Just leave us alone!” mom yells but I touched her arm to get her attention.

“Mom, I got this.” She turned to me with tears in her eyes.

“But Ebony….”

“Mom, he’s never going to stop if we don’t do this now. It either happens now or later.”

“Ebony, you don’t have to do this.” Jessica says as she steps up.

“I know but I choose to do this for myself and these people.” As I said that, I remembered what 

   Garcia said in my dream earlier. This is what she meant. After that, I turned back to Venomar and start walking to him. The people of the town moved out of my way. Next thing I know, I’m standing a few feet away from him. I looked behind me and see Sita, mom, Josh, Jessica and Logan, in his human form, standing to the side, a few feet away from me. I smiled at them as I turned back to him.

“You have me here now, Venomar.”  I said.

“That’s fabulous. I knew you were going to make it out of the building. You’re a fighter just like your mother….. and just like your brother.”

“Is that all you wanted to do? Run your mouth? I’m here now so do what you need to do.”

“I’m not going to do anything to you. As we know, I can’t. I just have a couple presents for you. I have been waiting for years to give you these. Don’t you want your gifts?” he asked as a smile spread across his face.

“What gifts?” I asked feeling a little suspicious.

“Well, here is gift number one.” That’s when one of the people in a cloak walked up. As they took off their hood, it felt like my heart stopped beating.

Chapter 23

 

“Well, here is gift number one.” That’s when one of the people in a cloak walked up. As they took off their hood, it felt like my heart stopped beating. Standing in the place of the stranger was not a stranger at all. It was Justin.

“Justin. Wait… how? How is he still alive? Justin, it’s me Ebony. Come here.” I start walking to him as tears of joy were pouring out my eyes but he didn’t even bulge. He just stared at me.

“Justin, don’t you remember me?”

“See, brainwashing him can do the trick. I turned Justin into a vampire because you know it’s always good to protect family.” Venomar said as he smiled at me. Justin turned around and ran back to him, hugging his legs.

“Family? Don’t you dare call us family. You are nowhere near being a part of my family and you will never be.” I yelled at him as tears of anger poured out of my eyes. That’s when the second person in a cloak walked up and they took off their hood. This stranger was dad.

“Dad? What are you doing here? I thought you were on a business trip.” He walks up to me and holds both of my shoulders.

“Ebony, how can I explain this to you? Hell, I might as well just say it. I am not who you think I am. I am your father of course but I am also Venomar’s father. Venomar is your half-brother.”

“You bastard!!! I can’t believe you did this to me!” I hear mom yell from behind me. I turned my head to see Sita holding mom back.

“Don’t you dare complain Laura. The secret life you thought you hid from me, I knew about the entire time. Why you think I approached you? Because it was love at first sight? Of course not. I knew you carried the line of the original witches and this was my only way of ending it.”

 “This can’t be true.” I said under my breath.

“Aw yes, sweetheart. It is true.”

“So you’re a part of the Nomeds.”

“I’m not only a part of it. I am the leader of it.” He said as he smiled at me.

“But dad, I  love you. Why would you do this to me.”

“Because Ebony, I won’t be able to do this if I didn’t” he said, imitating me. After that, he smirked and stood back beside Venomar.

“You know, Ebony. It’s good to know that my sister knows about me. Know you know that some of my blood runs through your veins.” Venomar says. That’s when I got really angry.

“Also Ebony? You said you love me, right?” Dad said as he walks up to me. I tried to lift my hands to use my powers on him but he pulled down my hand, with super strong strength. I quickly looked up at him.

“What are you?” I asked.

“I, darling, am the one who is going to take your life.” After that, I feel a sharp pain in my chest. I look down and see a knife in my chest.

“Daddy.” I say softly as I dropped down to the ground. I tried to breathe but every breath I took seem shorter and shorter.

“Ebony!!!” I hear mom’s faint voice. I looked over to where Venomar,dad and Justin stood and they were gone. Next thing I know, Jessica, Sita, mom, Logan and Josh and surrounding me with a bright light behind them. Mom and Jessica are crying, with Sita and Josh comforting them. Logan is hovering over me, with a scared look on his face. I feel him take the knife out but my body is so numb, I don’t feel any pain.

“Don’t die on me, Ebony. Don’t die on me! I should have been right beside you like I said” he says as he looked at me, tears pouring out of his eyes. I used all the strength I had to grab his hand and hold it. I looked back up at him and smiled at him. With the little breath I have left, I hear myself say something.

“Logan… I'm sorry.” After that, the light became brighter as I feel myself drift away. That’s when everything went black as I took my last breath.

Chapter 24

The Next Day: Logan’s POV

This would be a nice view that Ebony would love if she was here. Here on the balcony, you can see the ocean below and the seagulls flying towards the sunset. The breeze was also nice here but it was hard to enjoy it when all I can think about is what happened yesterday. All I can remember is Ebony’s blood slipping through my fingers as I tried to put pressure on the wound, trying to keep her from bleeding out, yet all that happened was me watching the life leave her beautiful green eyes I love so much. I looked down as this horrible memory popped up in my mind. I felt a tear come out and drop into the ocean. I should have been right beside her but I wasn’t. That should be the one dead. I would trade places with Ebony in a minute because she didn’t deserve it. But now it’s too late. I turned around and walked back into Sita’s room. Jessica was standing right next to Laura, hugging her, while Josh, Alina and Sita were standing next to Sita’s bed. Lying in the bed is Ebony’s beautiful lifeless body. She was dressed in a long, silky gray dress and her hair was out, cascading over the pillows. Her face is as beautiful as usual, yet instead of the rosy red cheeks I was used to seeing whenever she looked at me were not there and I can’t see her beautiful green eyes.

I walked over to the bed and cleared my throat.

“Sorry guys. I can I get some alone time real quick?” I asked.

“Of course you can.” Alina said as she tried to give me a smile. Before they walked away, Sita stopped in front of me and looked me in my eyes.

“Logan, you know this is not your fault. You know she died a hero.”

“Sita.” I said as I looked away. She touched my shoulder and sighed before she walked away. I kneeled beside her as I held her hand.

“I am so sorry, Ebony. I should have been right by your side. If I were, it would have been me dead instead of you. Don’t worry. I will fight until it kills me to get back at Venomar and your father. They are the ones who do not deserve to live. The blood you shed from them will be taken from their bodies and I will make sure of that. They took a piece of me with them and I will make sure I will take all from them. I love you, Ebony.” I said as I kissed her cheek. I stood up, leaned over and kissed her on her lips. As I leaned back up, I looked into her beautiful face and next thing I know, I am staring into her usual beautiful green eyes. She smiled up at me.

“Count me in."
