Chapter Ten: Precognition Is Sometimes My Worst Nightmare.
Mia? I thought, desperate to know I wasn't alone in the darkness.
Quickly, my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I recognized the place I was in. I could smell the fire, and I shook my head.
This couldn't happen. I stood, and looked for the two chairs.
There sat Lucas - snickering at me.
"Gracie, darling," he whispered. "You should have said that you loved me."
"GRACE?!"

Chapter Nine: The Big Day
Weeks had passed since that day with Lucas, and the weeks had just flown.
I stood with Mia, hyperventilating just inside the castle doors.
"Oh, God," I breathed. "How can I do this? I think... I think..."
"Breathe," Mia said, calmly. "You can do this. You look amazing, you know."
"You, too. You're beautiful."
Leigh had basically done us both up - make up, hair, shoes, jewellery. Everything.
Mia's hair was straightened with her fringe done to absolute perfecti

"Lucas," I breathed. "H-How are you alive? You fell off the cliff. You left me, Lucas."
"Gracie, I am just what you are, darling."
"Don't."
"Don't what?" He stepped toward me with his angelic face full of rejection.
"Don't call me darling now," I growled. "You left me because you couldn't handle what I am! Now you're a vampire, too? You killed me inside when you jumped, Lucas! You were selfish!"
"I had to do it!" His yell scared me, but it still sounded like the

Chapter Seven: Surprise.
"Excuse me, Miss Grace, but today you have a meeting to attend... It's to do with the castles in America."
"Who's it with, Leigh?" I asked as she followed me, writing stuff down on her notepad.
"Um - just the council, here."
I nodded. "Alright. Oh, and Leigh, did I tell you I am getting married?"
She gasped. "No!"
"Yes!"
She grinned and laughed. "That's great! We will have two queens and a king! Weird, actually..."
I laughed as Mia app

Chapter Six: Getting Married!
"Yes! I squealed. "Yes, Jett!"
"Thank you," he breathed, unable to hide his grin as I hugged and kissed him. "Wait... We have to try the ring..."
I bit my lip, so excited and ecstatic I could have screamed the castle down.
He carefully slid the silver band, complete with a beautifully-cut diamond surrounded by tiny black jewels, over my fingers. It fit perfectly.
"Oh, Jett." I felt out-of-breath. "Thank you. I love you."
"I love you," he sighed happily, pulling me against him for

Chapter Five: Together-Time.
"Mia," Blake whispered, still holding her close.
We'd all sat in absolute silence for at least an hour after seeing the vision, all thinking the same thing - I can't lose him/her like that.
There was no way I could bear to see that happen to anyone, and tears welled in my eyes for, what felt like, the millionth time that day.
"Can we go?" he asked Mia quietly.
Do you mind?
No, Mia. Go ahead... I think Jett and I will go, too, I answered.
Mia nodded to Bla

Chapter Four: Worst Possible Outcome #2.
"What did it all, mean, though?" Mia whispered as we sat in our thrones, which we'd moved to make a square so we could all face each other.
It had been two long days since that first vision.
"I don't have a clue," I said, hopelessly.
"Mimi?" Blake asked, grabbing her hand as her eyes went blank.
"Mia?" I asked, hoping that this wasn't another terrifying vision.
I concentrated, again, as hard as I could, and slowly, yet surely, sank into another dark room...

Chapter Three: Worst Possible Outcome.
"You are such the bad-ass with blood on your lips," Jett whispered, almost a laugh, with a small smile playing on the corners of his mouth.
"You betcha," I breathed, planting a bloody kiss on his alabaster-pale cheek.
He closed his eyes, and I grinned. "Love you, Jetty-Pooh."
He smirked, and slowly opened his beautiful green-brown eyes again. "I love you, too, Gracie."
As his arms tightened around me, I froze, hearing an ear-piercing scream in my head.
"Mia!" I gasped.
"Huh?" Jett asked, grabbing my hand as I spun toward the stairs.
"Mia just screamed - c'mon

Chapter Two: Hunters
"Mia," I whispered. "There!"
Not far ahead, two humans walked through the long grass, unsuspecting. They were an older couple.
"Alfred," the lady said. "Look at these flowers!"
"Barbara, we have to see the historic castles. We can look at flowers back in England. I want to see the ruins."
"I want the grumpy one," Mia snickered.
I grinned, and laughed once.

Chapter One: Independance
"Jett," I whispered. "Where are we going?"
The roads were empty, and the breeze was chilling.
"Blake said he'd taken Mia to the palace again," Jett replied, grabbing my hand. "We can't be late."
We blitzed through the village plaza, not a single sound as we made our way to our palace. It was more like a crumbling castle that we had taken ownership of, but it was still a palace to us.
I glanced down at the black ocean, reaching for us as we crept out of the plaza, and down the hillside. The grass was up to my
