I followed a narrow path through the woods. And although it was full dark, there was enough moonlight shining through the overhanging branches to light my way. I had no idea why I was in the woods or where I was going but something deep inside told me that I needed to follow the trail and see where I ended up. Every so often a gap appeared in the canopy overhead and when I looked up through the leafless branches, I could see the stars which peppered the night sky. The stars were not static – not like pinpricks of light, tonight. They raced across the sky at speed, like the flaming tails of comets.

“They’re lying to you, Mila,” I heard someone whisper just ahead of me.

I looked in that direction but couldn’t see anyone there.

The voice came again. “They’re lying to you, Mila.”

The voice sounded vaguely familiar, so I inched my way toward it. The twigs broke underfoot and I looked down. It was then that I noticed I had nothing on my feet. In fact, the only thing I wore was a large, baggy T-shirt – the one I’d put on before climbing into bed. My long blonde hair lay thick and heavy about my shoulders and it gleamed in the shafts of moonlight that radiated down from above.

“They’re lying to you, Mila,” the voice whispered once more. But this time the voice was coming from behind me. I spun around, spraying up a wake of dead leaves. And to my surprise, I could see someone. Whoever it was stood in the clearing among the rows of trees before me like twisted black railings. Combing loose strands of hair from out of my eyes, I made my way toward the clearing and the person who stood waiting there for me.

“They are lying to you, Mila,” the voice said again.

But this time I was close enough to the clearing to see who stood at the centre of it. It was Flint. My heart suddenly ached with joy at seeing him there. He no longer looked like the vampire with the misshapen head and jagged fangs. He looked as handsome and as beautiful as he always had, with sky blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. So happy was I to see him, I rushed into the clearing.

“They’re lying to you, Mila,” he said again, taking me into his arms.

But instead of asking him who had been lying to me, I smothered his lips with mine. And kissing him reminded me of those glorious days we had spent together in Maze – just the two of us in some secret place – enjoying each other’s company and each other.

He broke my kiss, but I wouldn’t stop. As I kissed his cheek, ear, then neck, he said again, “They’re lying to you, Mila.”

With my eyes closed, and between my kisses, I whispered, “How can you be so sure that I’ve been lied to?”

“I know because I love you,” he said, entwining his fingers with mine and pulling me closer still.
