“I won’t let you use me to hurt him,” I whisper, struggling to stay awake now.
“You won’t have a choice, Aura. Or I will kill your mother and father.”
Epilogue
“Do you think she believed it all?” I ask, smoothing down my white coat and feeling much better now I am out of that dirty sundress and my hair is washed. I hate playing the victim and being anywhere near Aura again.
“You played the mummy card perfectly,” Austin replies, looking at the screen next to me. I stare at my daughter on her bed in her new prison. Her unfortunate soulmate is knocked out in the prison room next to her, and I’m sure they will both wake up soon.
“I am her mother after all, and we need her to do what you will ask,” I say, happy that I can finally help my clan after all these years of being locked away. Aura’s stupid human father locked me away when he overheard I was going to take Aura to her promised and stop the prophecy. I don’t know how Ross figured out how to contact the light and make a deal with them. Unluckily for him, I am free now, and he has paid the price for locking me away.
“Your plan is brilliant,” Austin’s father says, coming into the room and stopping at my side.
“We all must suffer for the prophecy to fail. They are the keys, we only have to wait for them to destroy each other and the true light with them,” I say, though it is not suffering at all to watch Aura die. It didn’t hurt at all when I killed her father, but I can’t admit that to them as they might get suspicious about my lack of interest. They can’t know who Aura really is.
“Then Earth will be ours,” Austin says, grinning widely and turning back to watch the screen as Aura screams out in pain from the burns on her back. Her screams wake Maxx up, and he sits up sharply, looking around at his new home. The smart boy spots the camera straight away and gets off the bed and walks right up to the screen.
“I will kill you all,” he slowly states, before the screen goes fuzzy as he breaks the camera.
“Shame he has to die…I bet he would be fun to drain,” Austin’s father comments, and I smile up at him. Austin’s father is our commander, and I do not know his name, no one does. Only that he is a truly frightening commander to have.
“We can’t, the true light must be destroyed. Remember?” I ask, and he looks down at me with his completely white and empty eyes.
“I remember well what the true light has taken from me,” he comments. “I was there when it destroyed the planet I called home, and I will die before I let the true light return.”
