HEY EVERYONE IS WONDERING AND STILL ASKING WHEN I'M GOING TO BE PUTTING THE NEW BOOK UNDIVIDED UP??



IT'S ALREADY UP, HERE IS THE PROLOGUE:



A/N: NOT EDITED.



Prologue - Chelsea POV



"Are you nervous about heading home?" Oakley asked me, we were sitting, waiting for Logan to take us to the Air Force One. Turning to my little sister, who wasn't so little anymore - nearly turning sixteen - Ben, and Sienna I sighed, before answering. "No, home is wherever we are together and I'm not nervous about returning because what's coming next, we were meant to do this," Ben and Oakley nodded.



Waiting, hiding my fear of what we would be returning too, I tried to focus on something that always made me calm.



Two years ago, dressed in my own design, a strapless white dress, made with light tulle, a slight cape and with the help of Greta and Nonna, I had sewn dainty blush and cream flowers onto my satin soft dress, I walked down the isle on the beach of the island, our guests everyone that lived there as well. My heart racing, my hair styled in long free curls down my back, Ben standing up with Gabriel, Ava our flower girl and Oakley my maid of honor. Gabriel's vows to me the mantra I repeated to myself, instead of the numbers I counted when stressed.



"The world is going to learn what I know about you.

You're loving, kind and worthy of all the respect that you shall be given.

In your times of need, I promise to respect, love and care for you.

I will try in every way possible to be worthy of the love you show me.

Wherever lines are drawn, I will be on your side, your accomplice as you are mine.

I was raised to never place my trust in anyone, but I stand here a changed man, one that is placing all my trust and love in you."

"On this day, I give you my heart, the only person I trust."

"I take you as my wife, my best friend and my lover, loving, accepting and acknowledging all your faults and strengths, as you do mine."

"I call you mine Chelsea because you are my everything, you are my light in the darkness and shadows, and you've shown me more love than I've ever known."

***

Calmed once again, knowing Gabriel was with everyone back in California, waiting for Oakley, Ben, Sienna, Grant, Julia, Rinny and I to return to him. Turning to Oakley, I look at her as she nervously plays with a bracelet Kieran made for her.



You okay? I ask wondering if she had changed her mind and wanted to see her father after all. We had left the decision up to Oakley, "No," she whispered glancing at Sienna. I've said all I had to say Chelsea, if he wants to make things up, he's going to have to come to me, and I can't go back to him. I'm not - she shrugged.



I've seen all the recordings, nothing's changed, "I'm not taking ten steps back to hash out what I've already put behind me," and that Ben takes an interest in. Oakley hadn't been the only one to sprout up in the last year. Ben had changed, having a speedy growth spurt; he shot up and was already five feet, eight inches and growing. A bit lanky but defined because of his workouts with Lux, and training with Kayla, he was quite the handsome - but angry - thirteen year old.



It seemed that while Oakley had relinquished her anger against Pat Lawson - her father - Ben, well his grew exponentially. Watching his uncle - Grant - and aunt - Julia - parenting Oakley, Rinny and himself, the amount of compassion they showed all the children on the island - not just them, his fathers faults all seemed too grand to just be pushed aside, and forgotten.

Ben Lawson had a large bone to pick with his father.

***

It hadn't just been some sort of vacation, we all knew from day one. Overall we had each grown into our Elemental gifts, while Sienna had yet to shift or get her own gift at the moment. Her fathers, as well as Grant and Julia had all asked to be changed and so a year after Rinny was born, I changed all four of them. I understood why they wanted and decided too, all to protect their children, to be able to shield them if necessary although it would be hard considering one of them was the Air Elemental.



Rinny. She's the little girl Oakley had been before Norine was shot, that I could've been had my mother not ran away, had - I stop because like Oakley, I had forgive Norine as she forgave Pat. We had more important things to do that hold onto that anger, keep it inside our hearts, turning us black inside without our permission.



Things had changed, but it was time to head back, to face our destinies.



Our story hadn't ended, we were starting a new chapter once again, preparing for a war that no human, Shifter, Vampire or Fae would be left out from.



We were returning home, to a world that had changed.



We were searching for a girl - Faith - amongst billions while trying to save humanity from itself and those evil minder and power hungry in charge. Only now, we were returning stronger, with all the answers we had left to find - undivided we would succeed.
