Amelia's POV It felt as if so much time has passed away. And it has.. I just thought people would change with time. I did for sure.. However, that didn't count for everyone. Annabelle was turning two in a few weeks. That meant it had been two years since we took Adam down. Two years since I thought it ended. Two years since I gave up my powers.. There were moments when I doubted if I did the right thing. I did.. My daughter deserved a good life. A normal life. It was already enough that she was pulled into a world she didn't chose to live in. I thought that a house away from Venedocia was going to solve all of our problems. It's funny how naive that sounds.. Dimitri was king now. How could he rule with land if he wasn't there? It had been back and forth for a few months now. Problems started mixing our lives again. The old king had stopped the rights of so many witches, werewolves, and Dimitri was now bringing something new into this world. They wanted answers on how Venedocia would function. And after two years, the circulation of this world started flowing again. Like it was all coming back. History repeating.. It was insane how much that meant in our lives. How much it could change again. I couldn't get used to something knowing that it'll have to change again. Being back in the castle brought so many memories.. The only thing that let me breathe was Dimitri. He was the only one that could calm me. That could convince me that things were going to be alright again. But how could I tell him when he was so busy.. I barely saw him throughout the past week or so. I vowed to my daughter that I was going to keep her safe. That I was going to push away all the danger that came in our way. I swore to her and to myself that I was going to finish this the way I started it. It was now starting again.. Back at the beginning. I felt it. I saw it. Another vision, another sign. The only fear I had was for Annabelle. It was her that meant the world to me, and I knew that once Adam was awake that he was going to seek revenge. My daughter, Dimitri, Christian, my whole family.. That was my weak dot in life. That was the weakness that he already knew about. Something that could be used against all of us.. And the last thing I needed was to lose control over the situation. Yes, it could happen. It was so close that I already felt that darkness crawl through me. The dread.. Christian was back, and I knew that he was up to something. I knew him well enough to know when he was trying to do something behind my back. It's not that I supported Dimitri in his decision. Something had to be done, even though he said that we should sit still a little more. He didn't see the danger coming, and he thought that it was better for us to gather enough power and then make a move. But there was no time for that. And this time Christian was right. I just didn't want him doing things without me knowing. I wanted to be aware of every move we were going to make against Adam, and with him doing that by himself, so many things could go wrong. I knew how he was. Christian never opened up. It was just the way he functioned. Like a closed damn book, he locked everything and kept it to himself. But this included me, Annabelle, Dimitri, everyone we ever met could be in danger, because I knew what Adam was capable of. I had to make him tell me. Or find out one way or another, because seeing him there few days, I knew he was up to something. I knew he was planning something... It didn't help asking. It was Christian, I can't say I was surprised. He gave plain answers and ever since Sara left, he started making distance between us.. He closed up, and I felt like everything was back to the beginning. He showed no closeness to anyone, he kept that families cold expression of his, those short answers to everything he was asked.. It was getting out of hand. He couldn't do it by himself. And he refused to admit that he did. He would run a hand through his dark hair, frown his brows and say that nothing was going on that I should know about. Well, not everything could be hidden from me. I met the girl with the blue eyes that seemed to change Christian's path. Lana Morpher. I knew who she was.. Her name was famous around the supernatural world. at least her father's. Luke knew her too.. And to me she was just another familiar face that I felt like I saw in a blurry dream.. However, to Christian, it seemed more. The first time I met her that night, I met her with Christian by her side. It was enough to see the way he glanced her from time to time to know that something has changed. It was not just her aesthetic features, sharp but in some way soft, nor the way she looked at him with her pretty eyes.. I saw something else. I knew him well enough when he cared. His eyes gave him out, the way smiled at the girl's words even though someone from the side wouldn't notice. There was something there.. And I wanted to know what. It could easily be the answer to so many questions. Why he was away, where he was away, was the werewolf his way of deafening Adam.. How did she manage to bring back a piece of Christian that I once knew? If they were close, it meant that he had opened up, and if he opened up, then this girl knew everything that he did.. Knocking on the door slightly, I pushed it open just to see Lana going through her backpack on the bed. "Oh, hey," I gave her a slight smile, watching how she nodded her head. "I was looking for Christian." Putting a stand of hair behind her ear, she sat up crossing her arms over her chest. "He had to take a call. You just missed him." I found myself nodding my head in response, ready to get what I was there for. Answers. "Lana was it?" I took a few steps towards her, noticing how she carefully followed my moves. "Yea," I hadn't met many Morphers, but it was obvious she was from a werewolf family. Her whole posture was way to protective, and I can't say it didn't remind me of Luke. "I'll be honest, Lana, I was actually hoping I'd run into you.." Once again, I scanned her face, feeling how that familiar picture flashed, that feeling crawled, like a deja vu. However, this had to done. "You have the time to talk?" She uncrossed her arms, taking a small step backwards as she sat on the bed. "Uh, I guess," Great. Now, all she had to do was tell me what Christian was plotting. Walking over, I sat on the bed beside her. I was so close to finding out.. Not that I enjoyed being involved in things that included Adam, but how was I supposed to walk away knowing that everyone I loved was in danger. I cleared my throat silently. "You and Christian.. Are you two are together?" I watched how her experiences suddenly changed, from widening her eyes, she frowned in disapproval. "God, no." I couldn't help but chuckle at the way she said it. "Cause of your families," My question turned into a statement as somehow she approved with the look she gave me. "That and a lot of other reasons." She looked on the side, and now it was starting to clear out. She had no clue, did she? She had no idea how much she was changing Christian, and I wasn't sure if he was aware either. I suppose that sometimes doing good isn't on purpose.. "Right," I continued with the questions. I knew she was around long enough the be aware of something.. "So you two aren't close?" She shook her head slightly, rising her eyebrow in the process. "I haven't known him for that long," I found myself leaning my head against my palm, like I was waiting for her to continue. I knew enough of her that could help me get answers. And I needed those answers more than anything at that point. "How long?"
