CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Jackson and I went over our plan numerous times. He wasn’t sure exactly what would happen when we reached the base or how much alone time we would have so he prepared me the best he could.

“Hannah will be the one to train you since her abilities are similar to yours,” he reiterated.

I remembered the night at the warehouse and how she was able to take Leha’s soul just as I had taken David’s. But her black essence was a stark contrast to my orange one. When I asked Jackson about that he paused.

“Unfortunately that information is strictly concealed by the Caeleste. I do know that is how she is keeping the Shadowed alive.” He rolled his eyes. “Well, as alive as they can be.”

“I thought they were able to stay alive from feeding from human souls?”

“They do, but Hannah is the one who is able to extract the energy and pass it to the Shadowed souls. Remember how you felt when we were in the caves?”

I nodded, slipping back to that night when I could barely control the urge to take in the energy that had been stored there.

“Hannah is able to extract the energy and transfer it to an inanimate object. Unlike the Rodas who can absorb it and transfer it to the Caeleste.”

I rubbed my head where a dull ache had started to form.

“You should get some rest.” He shuffled off the bed but I leaned over and clasped his hand in mine. He turned to me, his eyes wide.

“Can you stay for a little while longer?”

He wasted no time getting back on the bed. I burrowed myself under the covers and snuggled closer to him. His fingers moved through my hair.

“Everything is going to be fine,” he said against my head. “As long as we stick to the plan.”

I sighed. “Will it ever get better?”

“Yes. Your human life is back on track and soon enough I will be free of Hannah.” His arms pulled me tighter against him.

My life was back on track, but I couldn’t help feel that it wasn’t right, my world was finally coming together but I was missing my daughter. It would have been perfect to have her alive. Father might have hated me before but I knew I had to succeed for him to even consider forgiving me for her death.

I found Jackson’s hand and twined his fingers with mine. “Can you show me her?”

“What do you want to see?”

I yawned and my eyes drooped. “Everything.”

His lips brushed against my forehead and I closed my eyes. The images flickered until they played out like a movie. Jackson’s feelings for my daughter were true, I felt it through every encounter. He loved her like I should have loved her if I had been alive. I saw her in glimpses when she was a child. Jackson had hidden these encounters from my father. When she had made the decision to find him, their meetings became more frequent. Jackson was both Tristan and me to her and my heart filled with even more love for him.
