Chapter Seventy Eight

“The scrolls didn’t say anything about how it's been used.” Isabella said to me.

| took the flower from her hand and tore it open; it immediately turned black. Its inside stored a strange blackish

liquid. I had this weird feeling like | had seen this before.

“Maybe I'm supposed to drink this,” she muttered. | gave a shrug. She took it back from my hand, and | watched

her drink of its sap. This was even weirder than | thought it would be.

“How do you feel?” | asked.

She stared down her body like she hoped to see skind of instant change. “Nothing. | feel the same.”

“That means it isn’t quite it. Let's get going.”

“No, we didn’t call this way to leave with nothing

“What do you suggest we do? Drink of all the flower’s sap till we find the ‘chosen’ flower that cures?”

“That is a smart plan.”

“I meant it as a joke.”

Just then she coughed. She bent over and threw up dark blood. “Are you alright?” | asked; she shook her head.

“I don’t know what is happening,” she cried.

But then her eyes glowed, and in a span of seconds, | watched her heal; her once bony structure seemed even

more healthy, and her white lips gained color.

“It’s working.” | said. | had never seen a thing like it all my life.

Tears streamed down her eyes, but this time, it was tears of joy. “I knew it; there was a cure...” she trailed off,

simply short of words. “Try it,” she encouraged.

Plucking another flower and passing it to me. | tore it open; just as | did, the smell of the liquid was sharp. |

proceeded to take a taste. The moment the blackish liquid touched my tongue, | knew why | always thought this

looked familiar.

Back with the elders, they had inserted tubes into my body, passing a strange liquid, one that looked very similar

with this one, or maybe....

They were the very sthing. | spat it out, but it was too late; sof the liquid had gotten in. The result was

instant; my muscles felt limp, and | fell to the ground, clutching at my throat. | couldn't breathe.

| stared up at Bella, who still had tears running down her eyes.

“I'm sorry, Thane, I'm so sorry.”

It had been a trap, everything had been a trap. Logan was involved in this.

My thoughts drifted back to Riley. | had promised her, and now... | failed.

The darkness took over; but her words rang through my head; ‘Sdangers are just unavoidable.”

Isabella had known what | wanted the most and had used it against me. A part oftrusted her because | didn’t

think she would ever be capable of doing this. She still loved me; that’s what | thought, and |

was wrong.
