~AMIERA

Igroan aloud and squeeze my temples in pain. Why does my head hurt so much? I open my eyes andsee that I’m in my room. What time was it?

Tunlock my phone and am surprised to see hundreds of messages. What the hell happened last night?

My eyes are glued to the screen when a video of me pops up on my account. All of the events from thenight before hit me all at once, and my eyes widens in horror.

I couldn’t believe that my love confession was taped and posted for every single person to see. Howembarrassing was this? There was also the fact that my power released itself

without my command, I had no control over it yesterday, and Adam was the only reason others

weren’t hurt because of my carelessness.

Was this what the fire inside of me was scared of? During one of our training days, confessed to Adamwhy the flames refused to leave my body. It was because of my own fear of what will happen the momentthat they did. What would have happened if Adam was not there to control the fire? To stop me fromburning the whole place and everyone in it alive?

I stare at the video in horror. Everything I’d said to Adam last night had been recorded; not one thing wasleft out. It wasn’t just my fire outburst; now, everyone knew that I was in love with Adam, which meanteveryone knew about our past relationship.

Which also meant that my parents already knew the truth. I was terrified of what would happen themoment that they confronted me about this.

My heart drops when there is a knock on the door. I’m frightened as they walk into the

room with my sister right behind.

From the look on their faces, they have already seen the video, just like I anticipated.

There is no running away from this now; there are no more lies; the truth is out in the open. Everyoneknows now that I love Adam, that we had a secret relationship.

The same thing I tried had to avoid had now blown up in my face.

“How are you feeling?” my mother asks me.

It’s not the question I was expecting to hear, but I do prefer it over the question I know that they areitching to ask.

“I have a terrible headache; other than that, I feel okay.”

My mother looks at my father, and I feel my heart rate increase; I know that it’s coming even before theysay anything.

trying hard to be calm with me after what happened to me last night.

“Nothing,” I say because it’s the truth; nothing is happening between us, at least not

anymore.

“So then, what is this video circulating with you claiming that you love him?” my mother demands. “Youwere not only drunk, but you were also screaming at the top of your lungs and announcing to the worldthat you’re in love with a dark whisperer and not just any dark whisperer, the most dangerous of theirkind. How can you explain this, Amiera?”

My body is trembling from the confrontation, and it’s hard to keep my emotions in check, “| can’t explainit. He was there for me when no one else was. He believed in me; he was the only one that saw me asthe flaming whisperer. He’s the reason that my power has finally been released. I fell in love with theAdam that did all of these things for me, only to replace out that he never existed to begin with. Everythingwas his plan to get me to trust him; he didn’t believe in me as I thought; he already knew that I was theflaming whisperer. He knew it long before anyone of us did. But even after replaceing all of this out, my lovefor him never stopped because it wasn’t fake like his affection towards me. My feelings were true, and Icouldn’t just ignore them. I have to face those feelings head-on; I need to accept them; it’s the only waythat I can heal from the hurt I feel inside from being betrayed yet again by someone I love.”

“How can you fall in love with a dark whisperer?” my father demands. “Have we not taught you betterthan this, Amiera? There are so many men out there; why did you have to fall for a man that’s as evil ashe is?”

“It doesn’t matter anymore,” I shout with tears streaming down my face. “It doesn’t matter if I love him; hedoesn’t love me, and he isn’t going to pursue me, so you have nothing to worry

about.”

“Do you really think it’s going to be that easy?” my father demands. “Are you that gullible? Adam will notlet you go that easily, he wanted something from you since the beginning, and he isn’t going to stop untilhe gets it from you. In case you haven’t realized Amiera, your life is now in danger.”

I’ve never felt like my life was in danger whenever I was around Adam, but I don’t tell this to my parents;they won’t believe me. My heart has always been in trouble, but other than that, I couldn’t see himphysically hurting me. Of course, I can be wrong about that too just like I was wrong about him havingfeelings for me.

“It’s not only my life in danger,” I tell him. “Everyone is in danger as long as Adam

over the world. I’ve already pledged to give my life to make sure that it doesn’t happen.”

“This isn’t a simple matter anymore,” my mother tells me. “The elders are now getting involved. Thatvideo was a cause of concern for everyone. Not only did your power show dangerous signs since youcouldn’t control it, but the relationship between you and Adam can also be considered forbidden. Itshould have never happened. A meeting will be held, and a decision will be made. We may have toremove you from school, or Adam may be removed. Nothing is decided as yet, but you two can nolonger be near each other again.”

Hearing my mother say this makes the hole in my heart bigger. Even though I know that it’s for the best,I’m not sure that my heart can take not being able to see him at all.

And then I realize something, something that I should have noticed long before now. The blood leavesmy face as I begin to search the room for any signs of my brother.

“Where is Noah?” I demand. I knew my brother; he wouldn’t take this lightly. He wouldn’t be able toaccept that a dark whisperer had a relationship with his sister and hurt her.

My parents look away from me, and I jump out of bed to face my sister, “please tell me.. Where is he?Where is Noah?”

“He went to school… To have a talk Adam.”
