BLAIR My gaze rested on Mikael who was lying right beside me, my head on his bare chest. I blinked and raised my head to look around the room. I'd been asleep few seconds ago. I could've sworn someone had called my name. Mikael was still asleep and there was clearly no one in the room. But, I wasn't convinced that what I'd heard was a mere fragment of my imagination.I placed my hand on Mikael's forehead and heaved a sigh of relief at the absence of a fever. I sat up slowly, gently tucking the blankets around Kael. I got out of bed with no clothes on. Letting out a sharp exhale, I grabbed a night robe and slipped it on. 'Athena' I froze and turned to look at the double doors leading to the terrace. I moved towards them and opened the door. Cold breeze ruffled my hair, goose bumps appearing on my skin. Once I stepped out into the terrace, I was startled by the sight of the glowing figure standing at the far end of the terrace, her back to me.Her hair was a mixture of black and

BLAIR My eyelids were heavy with exhaustion but I couldn't sleep. I was also painfully well aware of the digits displayed on the digital clock on the nightstand. I had a pounding headache and I was feeling a little nauseous.Mikael was lying on the bed, asleep and his breathing was strained. I couldn't do anything but watch over him, afraid that if I closed my eyes for a second, I would lose him to the cold hands of death. "All you have to do is accept your cruel reality before Hera takes advantage of your hesitation" a small voice at the back of my mind said. My gaze rested on Mikael's pale face and I stroked the side of his face with shaky fingers. He looked so tired and drained.He used to be so full of life. I recalled how we'd met in this lifetime, the way he'd acted so coldly, the way he called me a different name, the times he called me Scaredy-cat. I thought about everything Moira had said to me and I wondered if I could really do it. I wondered if I could ever gain th

LORENZO Watching Aria sleep had become more of a hobby, knowing that soon I would no longer be by her side in a matter of time. It's been two days since I visited Mikael's home. Two days since Blair told me about Moira's appearance to her. Two days since I accepted my fate. Aria was yet to know about the fact that I was going to die pretty soon. She'd probably noticed that something was bothering me, but she hadn't talked about it, yet. I exhaled slowly, running my fingers through my hair. I was certainly not afraid of dying. But, I was worried about Aria. I knew she didn't want to loose me. If she knew that I was going to die, it would tear her apart. I didn't want to make her cry, but I had to let her know the truth. I needed to prepare her for her future without me. I brushed her hair away from her face, my gaze resting on her serene features. She was beautiful. There was no doubt about that. She was also my first and last love. She made me have a purpose and I was really g

BLAIR Mikael was awake when I got to the car. He gazed at me with a look that said that he knew that the appointed time had finally arrived. I pressed a kiss to his forehead and lips. "See? I told you we would make it to midnight," I said and he embraced me. I held on to him, not wanting to let go just yet. "It's okay, Blair. My time has come, you know that," he whispered in my ear. I let out a shaky breath and slowly pulled away. Mikael cupped the side of my face and kissed me, a single tear rolling down his right cheek. "I love you," he said, his voice shaky. "I love you too," I rasped and he gave me a pained smile. I wiped his tears with my fingers. "Don't cry or I will have to start crying. It won't be nice," I told him. He placed a trembling hand on my stomach, his gaze locked with mine. "Take care of her, okay?" He croaked and I nodded."I will."He closed his eyes and let out a sharp exhale. He took out a butterfly charm bracelet and helped me slip it on. "It is a sy
