Chapter Fourteen

Emma

The festival was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony afterward had been one of the most incredible moments of my life. And I’d experienced it all with Ethan by my side.

After it was over, I felt inspired. While most of the citizens of Malovia were praying at grave sites on the Day of the Dead, I went to the bookstore and purchased a leather journal. I started writing down all the things in my past that I wanted to let go, and the goals I wanted to focus on in the future.

The theme of renewal and rebirth around this time of year motivated me. I didn’t have anyone to mourn— no one I was close to in my life had died— but I still wanted to take part in the holiday.

By the time I was done writing, my list was pretty long. I had a lot of things on it— like forgiving my mom for lying to me, and to change my perspective on my diagnosis— to learn what my new body would teach me, instead of mourning what I never really had in the first place.

Ethan would be so excited. He’d be thrilled that I was getting into my heritage.

After a few moments, I tapped my chin with my quill and added another note.

Discover the identity of the Phantom.

What the old woman had said in the cathedral spoke to me. You could never have enough time with the one you loved. If the hag was right, I only had four years or less left to live, and I didn’t even know my mate’s name. I needed to spend every moment I could with him, before the end— if the end was coming soon, that was.

My illness had changed me, that was for sure. Although it wasn’t exactly terminal, it was, more than likely, life-limiting. Unlike most people, I had a pretty good idea how I was going to die… if my disease got to me, anyhow. I’d catch a virus I couldn’t get over, or my lungs or liver would fail, or I’d get a cancer that wasn’t curable. Those were the most likely ways.

Or I could die in a random accident or something. Who knew? It was weird, but all this talk of death hadn’t depressed me— it just made me want to go out and live more. It was kind of morbid, but it made me… excited.

I’d seen my illness as a curse, but it was literally more of a blessing. It was teaching me how to live every moment. I needed to do more than just meaninglessly exist. And honestly, that was so much worse… to be fine physically, but to live a life that had no purpose. That was a slow death that nobody wanted, but that most people experienced.

I couldn’t live like that anymore. I didn’t have the time to waste. I had to make every moment count, and cherish each second like it was a gift. I wanted to be alive.
