Chapter Seven

Just when I think my life can’t confuse me anymore, I find out that I belong to a Watcher, I’m a Phoenix shifter, and that I need to go to an Island called Devilice within the next five days. I spent the night talking with Rafe. We discussed what I was and what I needed to do to control it until I could get to Devilice Island.

He told me it was crucial to stop this from happening. Apparently, there are some sort of rules that need to be followed before I’m allowed to travel. It’s been two days since I’ve seen Rafe, and I feel as if I’ve lost a part of me—empty and lost if you will. I sit on my bed pulling on the loose lint on the blanket.

“Why do you have to go?” I ask Lacy, the tears pricking at my eyes.

Lacy stuffs another T-shirt into her overnight bag, shrugging her shoulders. “I dunno, Mom said I needed to spend some time with Bevan. I wasn’t going to turn that down.”

“No, I wouldn’t expect you to. But… I…” I stop, afraid I’ll start crying. The thought of her leaving is almost unbearable, we’re inseparable and without one another we’re lost.

She climbs into my bed and wraps her arms around my shoulders. “I know it’s hard right now, Luce, but it will get easier.”

“I can’t lose you as well...” I sniffle, un-lady-like in her shirt. Her smell is almost a comfort.

“Silly girl, you aren’t losing me. I’m going to spend a few days with Bevan that’s all.” She pulls me back gently by the shoulders.

“Mom has been—”

Knock. Knock.

Lacy and I turn to face the bedroom door. “Come in.” Our voices tangle together and join as one.

Mom opens the door and walks in, stopping at the edge of the bed. She looks around and then back to us and scowls. “Haven’t you left already, Lacy?”

Lacy shuffles off the bed, zips up her bag and looks over at the alarm clock on the bedside. “Bevan should be here shortly.”

“Good, good,” Mom huffs out, as she walks back out of the room. I hear her mumble under her breath, “One less problem for me to take care of.”

I turn to ask Lacy if she heard the same thing, but she’s smiling from ear to ear gazing out the bedroom window. I walk over and look outside to see what has her attention. Bevan stands down on the lawn with a large bunch of roses in his hand.

“Go on, sis, have fun.” I push her shoulder gently and guide her out of the room.

“Will you be okay?” she asks concerned.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine, go enjoy yourself and I’ll see you soon, or whenever you get back.”

I watch her walk out of the room and out of the cottage. I’m really happy for my sister, but something isn’t sitting right with me. I have the strangest feeling of unease as if a bunch of butterflies flutter around my body, the feeling creeps up my back and holds on to my senses.
