Chapter 6
The Prophecy
The heart being divided into two parts,
One frozen, One aflame,
The burning half as love,
A frozen heart and a heart aflame must not unite,
Once united, a disaster will befall the earth,
Mountains will crumble,
Valleys will dry up,
The dead will rise and chaos will befall the earth.

"We need to tell her the truth" he said, putting his glass on the table, he felt nervous, scared and agitated.
"We can't "he said tightening his grip on his cup of coffee," if she finds out she is the reason behind everything that happened she will take some decisions which could affect all of us and most importantly herself "
"You forget the fact that she needs to know in order for her to be ready for the battle ahead, she is stronger than you think she is and I am pretty sure her abilities will soon start to show , you need to get her ready for what's to come "
"I can't!" he yelled "don't you get it, I just can't, this is how and why your mom left us, I can't let her go through what her mom went through, she had to leave us because of this, she may be strong but so was your mom and you saw the results, she can't no she mustn't." he ended in a whisper.
"But...."he started,
"No buts, she can't, when the need arises we tell her, but until then nothing more about this, are we clear?"
"But..."he started again
"Are we clear?" he asked again
"Yes Sir"

At the dance...…
"Hi" I said
"Hey" Adam answered before turning to Luke and Jenny " do you guys mind taking your.." he gestured with his hands, pointing to both of them with a look on his face "outside?" he asked, Jenny blushed and Luke glared at him, as if he was studying him before breaking out into a smile.
Crystal pulled me aside "am going home"
"But you are already dressed for the dance, just stay okay?
"I can't," she said "otherwise I would have to keep seeing this" she said gesturing to Luke and Jenny "and I don't think I will be able to survive that" she finished with a sad look.
"Then am coming with you" I said
"No you can't, your first date with hotty can't be ruined by me " she said letting out a tired laugh
"I can explain to him I'm sure he would understand" I tried explaining but she cut me off
"No you are staying here and you are going to enjoy this night without me alright?"
"Yes Ma'am but promise me you will be okay?"
"I promise" she answered then got in the car and drove off.
"what happened to her?" Luke asked
"she said she's feeling sick" I answered.
Adam walked over to me and put his hand out I took his hand and felt a shiver run down my spine, I don't know what it is, but every time I see Adam, I just want to be in his arms, for him to hold me, to caress me, for him to just be with me, funny thing is that I don't know anything about him, but yet I want to be with him more than anything.
So when we started dancing, trust me when I say I didn't want to let him go even after we had decided to take a break from dancing, I may have come off as clingy but it didn't bother him, I could see that from the way he was also looking at me.
Even with how everything was going beautifully, I felt awfully uncomfortable with the heels on my feet I would have come in with flats on but Crystal wouldn't let me, so letting him go was inevitable.
"You know it would be nice if we could go get a cup of punch" he said
"Yeah, sure" I answered nervously, I followed him quietly not saying a word. When I meet people for the first time, I talk, so they could feel free with me but with this guy by my side trust me when I say I couldn't say anything for the first time in my life.
Looking around, I realized that the guys did a really good job on this place, like really well that I don't even believe they did this by themselves because if they did they really outdid themselves this time around. They had placed white trees around the entrance of the gym to create an enchanted winter forest. Silver, white and blue fabric draped from the ceiling, with a crystal chandelier to add an icy look, where did they get that from? Silver, white and blue balloons where hung around as accents.
I spotted Luke and headed towards him, he and Jenny were making out again I grabbed him by his hair and dragged him shouting
"Sorry Jenny" from the way she quickly nodded I am pretty sure she understood me.
He was whimpering, one would have thought he had broken an ankle
"Shit, you are pulling my hair out " he said
"No I'm not" I said
"Yes you are!" he fought back, I let him go and turned to look at him
"Can't you keep your hands off your girl for some few seconds huh? I asked glaring at him. How could he be here making out with another girl when my best friend had run home crying?
Which kind of dumb friends am I carrying around? I asked myself, Crystal had run off after Adam had come to take me away Matthew didn't come to the dance. Joey and Austin were making out with some girls at the back, stupids. David was dancing with his girlfriend Linda, they looked lost in each other. And Daniel was the dj.
"No I don't think I can "he answered smirking "Why are you jealous?" he asked
"No am not" I answered "but these shoes are killing me" I said leaning on him to remove them, he bent down to help me when Adam walked over with two cups of punch, I hadn't fully assessed his outfit today but trust me when I say this boy looked handsome, even as a boy he looked beautiful, my heart skipped a beat, by the time he walked over to me I was melting, Luke was still trying to unbuckle the shoes when Adam came, I kicked him off me and stood straight,
"Ouch!" Luke shouted looking up at me "sorry" I mouthed
"Here's your punch "Adam said, handing it to me
"Thank you" I said, taking it from him when my hand brushed his, I felt a jolt of electricity, and quickly pulled my hand back grabbing the cup in the process, I think Adam felt the same thing, because we both had the same look on our faces, and he also pulled his hand back.
We were just looking at each other when Luke cleared his throat and muttered "this is weird, am gonna go" he said then walked away.
"Took you a long time" I said as I fumbled with my cup,
"Yeah, I got held up by Brittany, said she wanted to talk to me, but I managed to escape" he answered nervously, and I laughed feeling pity for the guy.
"I want to take you somewhere" he said
"Come with me?" he asked with his hand out.
