CHAPTER 37

“That’s a good idea. What should we do?”
“Let’s attack her heart first. If we resolve that then we might get her back.”
“Yes, we need to find her girlfriend. Where is she?”
“At her home, I guess. I and Lee will deal with her; you look into other pressing issues.”
“Good point. Since all had been said, let’s update each other and solve this issue as soon as possible.”
The meeting finally got adjourned and she went to Eric.
“You look beautiful priestess,” he said holding her hand.
“So, do you,” she said smiling at him.
“It’s been a tiring and scary night. Let’s go home and have something nice to eat.”
“Good idea. I’m starving especially after that.”
“Exactly!”
The two of them left the sacred lands and drove to Eric’s place. She had been living with him for the past two weeks now. She loved him and so does he. She didn’t want to spend her time weeping but enjoy the moment.
The next morning she was going to look for Amber and settle their issue once and for all. She didn’t like the person Haven was turning into at all.
****
Amber was at school when she heard that someone was looking for her. She went to the reception and found Gina, Haven’s secretary. What was she doing here?
“I need to talk to you for just a moment,” she said.
“I don’t have much time so make it quick.”
“Okay, let’s go somewhere private.”
“Sure.”
Amber took Gina to the car; it was more private than the classes.
“So, what do you want? Did she send you to see if I didn’t say anything?”
“She didn’t send me. I wanted to talk to you.”
“Be quick then.”
“Do you no longer lover her?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Because you never contacted her ever since you woke up.”
“She is the one that did wrong. Why should I do everything?”
“I understand that what you saw or heard was shocking but you need to come clean to her about how you feel before she does something crazy.”
“What do you mean by that? Is she going around killing people again?”
“She will be soon if you don’t talk things out. Since you have seen what she is capable of I would advise you to just go and see her.”
“You want me to go to her house? I don’t even know where her house is. Last time I tried to go to her house I couldn’t even fin the damn road. Is she a ghost?”
“She is human just like you. You have touched her, didn’t you?”
“I did but she is not my Haven,” she said tears filling up her eyes.
“She is the same Haven that saved your life that night, the same one that rejected you, did something she had never done with any other girl and gave her heart to you. She is the same girl Amber. I can understand if you no longer love her but what I need you to do is be honest with her. If you are scared of seeing her then just call her and end it. What she needs now is clarity, please give it to her.”
“Fine, I will. If that’s all, you can leave. I have classes to go back to,” she lied.
“Thank you for meeting me. I hope you make the right choice,” Gina said and left her car.
Her heart was heavy, she couldn’t break up with her but she had a choice to make. She couldn’t go and see her again especially after what she did to her. So she took out her phone and texted Haven, “I’m sorry but I must do this. Let’s break up.”
With that she switched off her phone and returned to class.
***
After school Amber returned to her house, removed her bag and washed up. She changed into fresh clothes and went downstairs for supper. Her brother was back and the family was together. They said grace and began to eat when an unexpected guest arrived.
“Gina what are you doing here?” Amber asked.
Gina looked very furious, angry; all emotions were on her face.
“I’m sorry but I need to borrow you for the night,” she said looking at her.
“Why? I’m not going anywhere.”
“It’s an emergency. It’s a matter of life and death Amber.”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“We can’t tell but you need to come before it worsens,” Gina said.
Amber saw the worried look on Gina’s face and she knew the issue was grave. They couldn’t talk more when her parents were listening like that.
“You have to go. She was there for you when you needed her,” her mother said.
She looked at her mother and nodded.
“Fine, let’s go,” she said and followed Gina out of the house.
“What really happened?” Gina asked.
“I broke up with her. You told me to show her clarity and I did,” Amber explained.
“Then that’s why.”
“Is she killing people?”
“No, she is dying,” Gina said.
“What?”
“You will see for yourself when we arrive.”
Now she was worried. Was she trying to kill herself over her? Why did she do it? She just hoped and prayed that she won’t be late. There was so much she wanted to talk about and ask.
She wanted to look deep into her eyes and ask so much.
