Chapter 51

"Really dear, there are so many other men out there." My mother said walking into her living room. Lucas sat next to me on her couch and she sat down with a cup of tea in hand. It's weird because she lives like such a normal person even though she's some ghost…ruler..whatever. "You know I'm still available." Lucas said matter-o-factly. I sighed with a smirk. Why am I here? "Well mom, I should really be going. Have a meeting soon." "Oh, all right dear. Have fun" Ugh she's such a mom. Lucas and I stand up and he grabs my hand before I'm back in the black room. He gives me a smile and I awake from a nice nap on my couch, when someone coughs behind me. I jump up and Isaac takes a step back. "Isaac you scared me!" I say holding my chest. "Sorry, Mia. Trix asked me to come tell you the meeting was in his room at 1." " Oh, thanks." I say putting back a pillow. "Um I also came because um, Luke..he .." I cut him off, "If Luke wants to tell me something he can do it himself." He stands there awkwardly with his hands in his pockets. I sigh "I'm sorry I just.." He cuts me off with "He loves you.." I freeze and I can't think I just I take a deep breath, If he loved me why would he do that. Before I can reply Isaac leaves and I break into sobs tears staining my shirt. Why did he do that, after all I've risked for him. There's another knock at my door. I stand up and walk to the door, wiping the tears from my eyes. I take a deep breath and open my door, it's Trix. Great. "Hey." He says leaning on the door post, "You okay?" I pray he can't see my red eyes. "Yeah, I'm okay." I say looking at the floor. "Mia what's wrong?" He says tilting my chin up to look at him. "Nothing..", a lump catches in my throat he can tell. One silver tear falls from my face and he wraps me in a hug. "Hey..it's okay. He didn't deserve you." Trix says as he rests his head on top of mine. Stop crying,stop crying, your making a fool of yourself to the only half descent person here. I take a deep breath and pull away. Trix just stares at me and grabs my hand. "Come on lets take a walk." I wipe one last silver tear from my face and promise myself, that it will be the last tear I shed for Luke.

Chapter 52

" So has it been confirmed that the Nexus have the amulet?" Asks Isaac from the head of the table. "Well the Mia's mom said they don't think the Nexus have it." Called Luke from a corner of the room. I don't turn around when he says it. "So we have no idea where is it. Great." Said Isaac looking at the table. "Well that's not true." I Lucas says playing with a pen and Isaac's head shoots up. "What do you mean?" "Well the amulet is connected to a specific person and obviously that person is Mia, so she is like..in a spiritual way connected to the amulet." Lucas says putting down the pen. Well Captain Asshole isn't so stupid afterall. "So how does Mia find it?" I shoot a look of confusion to Isaac, "Wait what do you mean, Don't I get a say in this. It's me who has to find this." "Well to find the amulet we have to put her into a state of meditation. But if she is not totally, I don't know.. Focused or peaceful she could..well..die." Lucas says with out even looking at me. "HELLO!? I'm right here! Say it to me, it's my spiritual..mojo..whatever ." I but in crossing my arms. Isaac sighs "Well, that's the only way of finding it." Lucas says standing up and walking to the door. "If you want it you use her." Lucas says pointing to me. He finishes with, "Your majesty." He says with a curtsey and disappears with a smirk. Way to make an exit.

Chapter 53

"Just breath in and out. Clear your mind." Lucas says sitting across from me. Most guys smell like Musk or Old Spice but he smells like nature or a fresh rain. It's refreshing. "Mia." "Huh?" I say as my eyes shoot open. "You need to clear your mind. Think something that has affected your life." I look around and see Trix, Amy, Isaac, Luke (Isaac said he had to come) and a nerd. "Okay, there's so many to pick from." I say sarcastically closing my eyes. You can do this Mia. I open my eyes and shoot Luke a death look. He looks down and I go back to my memories. When they took my mother away, that was the worst. Mommy! "Leave her alone! Please, she's just a child!" My mother pleaded beaten and bruised "Mommy! Mommy he's hurting me!" "Mia! Don't touch her." I gasp and a silver tear falls from my face. "Okay Mia, keep thinking about what happened. Okay, Now let go..let this memory drift away." I can't! He took her from me! "She said she can't, he took her mother." Luke tells Lucas. "Mia, I know its hard but forgive and forget." No, I..I can't. "She said she can't" Luke says, I here People moving. Someone takes my hand. "Mia you have to let go." No.. My eyes shoot open and I gasp for air. I can't breath I can't talk. "Mia, LET GO!" I look at Lucas and fall back . They all rush to my side yelling my name and I feel my own heart slow , my eyes feel heavy I just want to rest. "No Mia! Wake up!" Lucas says and he slaps me. And in that instance I feel my own heart slow, slower, until the blood in my veins stops cold, And my heart stops.
