“Magick” Dru said grinning. “One day, with of course the proper training, you will be able to do many more amazing things. You have more powers than you can imagine.”
“I don’t want them.”
“What do you mean, Ms. Morgan?”
Tears began to roll down my cheeks. I closed my eyes tight and doubled my fists to fight back the sorrow.
“Ms. Morgan” Dru had a gentle look on his face and just like his brother gentle seemed to mean dangerous. “Once the Grimmior is re-sealed away you can return to having a normal life.”
“No! I can never go back!” I whined. “Falcon is a half demon and no matter what happens to Mephistopheles and hell there will always be demons after Falcon and I. I can never be normal again.”
“Ms…” Dru started but I interrupted him.
“Every time I try to enjoy a simple moment I will have to save someone! I don’t want to put innocent lives before my own needs anymore! Not if it means I will lose Falcon!” I yelled with my fists doubled at my sides. I shivered and covered my chest with my arms protectively.
“But you will Ms. Morgan.”
“I will what?”
“When push comes to shove…you will choose the world. You have a pure heart of unconditional love. That love is why you are the chosen one.” Dru stated softly. “Besides we all want to be normal.”
“Do you…do you want to be normal?” I asked.
“Yes. I want a life, kids, marriage and normality. I am just completely incapable of having it.” Dru replied.
“Why”
“I am immortal, remember? My soul mate is not. I decided a long time ago that I would push her away because I will outlive her. Everyone except for Falcon that enters my life I must watch die.” Dru said in sorrow.
“Did it work? Did you push her away?”
“It worked. She hates me.” Dru turned away from me to look into the fire. “Shall we Skry now?” He asked trying to change the subject.
“How do you know she hates you?”
“Actions speak louder than words.”
Dru seemed so hurt. He was acting tough like a typical male but I could tell deep down he was lost in sorrow. I could feel his emotional pain with my empathic powers.
I just wanted to hold Dru tight. I just yearned to make Dru’s world better. I longed to make his soul mate love him back. I couldn’t imagine what it was like to be so alone. I couldn’t even fathom what it would be like if Falcon didn’t love me…even if he only can with half of his heart.
Before I could stop myself I leaned down and wrapped my arms around him. I laid my head upon Dru’s shoulder. Dru reached up and grabbed my hand and held it tight. He wasn’t going to admit he was sad but like he said actions speak louder than words.
“She loves you.” I whispered. “If she is your soul mate she loves you. She just doesn’t know it yet.” I said closing my eyes trying not to cry but tears still escaped.
“Now why are you crying?” Dru asked.
“I am crying for you.” I whimpered. “I understand.”
