Chapter 6 - Chapter 6- Where Were You?

"What did you just say?" Zoe questions.

"I said, I love you," I repeat myself.

"Don't you think we're going a little fast?" Zoe asks.

"There's no such thing of going too fast. You never know how much time you're going to have with the one you love." I tell Zoe with a loving look.

"Oh, Lexa—"

"You don't have to say it if you don't want to," I say while cutting off Zoe.

"I was just going to say... I love you too."

I looked into Zoe's eyes with tears of joy filling my eyes, the tears of joy soon because of tears of sadness. As I watched Zoe get stabbed through the chest with a long sword. I dove into Zoe's body as she fell to the ground, I caught her just before she fell.

"It's ok Zoe, you're going to be ok," I say while crying.

"I- I guess you were right, you never know how much time you're going to have with the one you love," Zoe whispered.

Just like that, after she told me those words, her eyes closed and she was gone forever. I was feeling so much sadness, but the feeling I felt the most was anger. I stood up, and slowly directed my head towards the person who killed Zoe.

"Lucias? Why would you? Why?" I question.

"I did it for you, you can't fall in love with a human."

"Grrr... Why the fuck would you do that." I growled at Lucias.

"Ok, calm down, you can't turn, you'll kill me." Lucias tries to calm me down.

"I hope I do."

I turn into my werewolf form and started charging towards Lucias. I've never hated someone so much in my whole life. I knew that I was going to kill him right then and there, but I couldn't do it. Even though he killed the person I loved, I couldn't do it. I went towards my clothes and changed back. Then I walked toward Lucias and said,

"This doesn't mean that I forgive you, I just can't bring myself to kill you."

"Sister, thank—-

Then Lucias looked down to find the same sword through this chest. It wasn't me who killed him. When Lucias' body fell, I saw Skylar standing there, with blood on her face, and her hands shaking. She also had tears coming down her face. I had no emotions with my brother dying, not a single one. I stared at his body, watching the blood pour out of him. Skylar fell to her knees, sobbing loudly. I run towards Skylar comforting her.

"It's alright, you're going to be okay." I comforted Skylar.

"Z- Zoe, s- she's dead." Skylar sobbed

"I know, and I'm sad too, but we have to be strong." I declared.

"Hey! Lexa! Are we... What happened? Why is Lucia's dead, and..."

Raelynn's eyes widened, and tears started to fill her eyes. She saw Zoe on the ground, and it just ruined her. Raelynn turned around and put her face into Blake's shirt, she started to cry. Raelynn and Zoe were friends since grade school. I haven't seen Raelynn like this in a really long time, it almost made me want to cry. I have to stay strong for everyone here, the cry would just make everything worse.

"Blake, please take me home. I can't stand to be here a single second more." Raelynn begged.

"We have to go get your sister first," Blake tells her in a calm voice.

"Oh, you're right, I almost completely forgot about her." Raelynn emmits.

"That's rude," a soft voice says from far away.

"Remi! It's so good to see you again." Raelynn says with tears filling her eyes.

"Well, you were going to leave me, so I'm not too sure you do want to see me," Remi responds.

"Oh, come on. We're going home, I have a lot to tell you about." Raelynn chats with Remi.

Raelynn, Remi, Blake, and Derek all enter the portal back home. Skylar was still hovering over Zoe's body, shaking and crying. I walked over to Skylar and sat next to her. I then put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her. She then whipped towards me and shoved her head into my shoulder. Before being with Zoe, I would have loved this.

"Lexa, did you have any places that you liked in your world?" Skylar asked.

"Um, ok. Well, there was this place that I would visit a lot when I was younger." I responded, not knowing where this conversation was leading to.

"Can you take me there?"

"Um, sure. Whatever will make you feel better." I answered.

I walked Skylar to a hilltop, where I would view the whole city. The city didn't look as good as it normally did though, so there wasn't a good view. We sat up there anyway and looked over the city. I would keep looking over to Skylar since she wasn't saying anything. Every time I looked over there, I saw her eyes glowing and sparkling. I guess I never noticed how pretty Skylar's eyes were. Skylar looked over at me and said,

"Are you gonna just stare at me all night?" Skylar asked.

"No, no, I was just observing your eyes," I said slowly.

"Do you want a closer look?" Skylar questioned with a smirk on her face.

"I- I—"

Just like that, Skylar pulled me in closer and kissed me. I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to pull away. After a while of kissing, Skylar pushed me to the ground and it became an all-night session. The morning came slow, but we didn't mind. I kept trying to keep my eyes open, but we were up all night. I started thinking about the others and wondering if they were okay. I know they won't freak out just yet. A sound suddenly came from a bush nearby, I stood up and got prepared to fight. A rabbit then jumped out of the bush, and I felt kind of embarrassed. Skylar must of the saw because she started laughing at me. She laughed so hard that tears started rolling down her face.

"Oh, my gosh Lexa, that killer rabbit almost got you." Skylar laughs out.

"Shut up Skylar. Stop laughing, and just tell me when we're going home." I demanded.

"Hm, how about tomorrow. I want one last day with you." Skylar tells me.

"Fine, but only one more day." I finished.

After that one day went by, Skylar begged for another and another and another. After the fourth day, I demanded that we go back to Earth. I missed Raelynn and Blake, and even Derek. I was worried when they never came back looking for us, and I really just want to see them. So after I demanded we go back, Skylar understood how I was feeling and we started walking back to the portal. We finally entered the portal back to Earth and walked to the house.

"Raelynn! Blake! Derek! Remi!" I shouted out for them.

No one responded, but then I started hearing footsteps coming towards us. I was a little frightened, but it could just be Blake. Then a little girl comes running to me.

"Hi, who are you?" The little girl asks.

"Um, my name is Lexa. And you?" I respond.

"L- Lexa?" The girl says like she's heard the name before.

Before I could ask anything else, she grabs my hand and runs with me to the living room. I spot a man in the chair, but I couldn't see his face.

"Uncle Derek! Wake up!" The girl screams.

"Derek? What the heck?" We say at the same time.

Derek wakes up and sees us both standing there. His eyes began to widen, and he jumps up to hug us.

"Where were you guys? We've been waiting for you."

"We've been in World X the whole time. Where is Raelynn, Blake, and Remi?" I question.

"Oh, they went out to get groceries. So I'm stuck babysitting." Derek replied.

"Well, who is this anyway?" I asked.

"I- I think you should wait for the others to get back," Derek says avoiding my question.

After that, we here the door creak open. Raelynn walks in, and her eyes immediately go to me. She drops her groceries, and runs into me, hugging me tightly. Blake just stands there, with no expression at all.

"Gosh, what's going on, it's only been four days-"

"Lexa-"

"Wait, why are you wearing a wedding ring-"

"Lexa-"

"Wait, Blake is wearing one too-"

"Lexa-"

"Did you guys get hitched-"

"LEXA!" Raelynn finally shouts.

"What?" I ask.

"You've been gone for four years," Raelynn responds.

"No, four days," I say confused.

"Ok, let me explain. Your world and our world works differently. One day in your world equals one year in our world. So, you and Skylar have been gone for 4 years in our world. And to answer your question, yes, Blake and I got married. Also, that beautiful three-year-old girl over there, is our daughter, Mia. Mia is an ice demon like her father, but she fights like I do. I'm pretty sure that's everything." Raelynn explained.

"What?!" I yelled.
