“I promised you forever too, Roxy,” he growled. “And I intend to keep my word.”
“He’s going to eat his heart out,” he murmured, and I rolled my eyes. “I hope he does by the way. I’m still pissed he hurt my little sister. Kick him in the dick for me, okay?”
I hated being tactile with anyone. Anyone except Darcy. Alright, and Darius. Apparently, I only liked the D.
For my real death has been planned for years, my boy, and it will have come to pass long before this letter reaches you.
I love you, son. And I know you can pass the tests that await you. Wherever I may be, know that I miss you and will be waiting for you beyond The Veil.
“It’s like he doesn’t even like me talking about the moon sometimes.” “Literally no one enjoys that,”
“Trust me, I’m not quick to forgive either,” I said icily. “But things have changed with me and Seth. There’s a lot that’s happened since you’ve been in prison.” “A lot,” Seth emphasised.
Seth’s hand roamed down my back and fell onto my ass, squeezing as he pulled me and Darius closer.
Jamie Turnip: She so ugly, when her Momma dropped her off at Zodiac, she got a fine for littering
“How? The guy cut off your hair and fucked with us for months.” “He also saved your life and was there for me when you weren’t,”
I sent him daily photographs of me and Darcy together with captions like #sheaintblueoveryounomore and #teamDeth. He’d blocked my number after threatening to rip my intestines out and strangle me with them
Because I was officially kickstarting Mission: Get Darion Back Together.
I was going to get her back together with the love of her life and make Lance Orion my bestie in the process. Like, not at first. Man, he was going to fucking hate me. But long term, he was a bestie to be.
Underneath the photo was a caption from Seth. Boner status: 10/10.
“Darius,” I snapped. “It’s me.” “Lance?” he gasped in confusion, and I nodded. “By the fucking sun, what kind of illusion is that?”
“How did you get here? Are you running? Do we need to go?” He jumped out of bed, starting to grab his stuff and a smile pulled at my mouth.
“Well, this has been a waste of time,” Darius sighed and I looked up at him. “What?” I balked. “The moon isn’t doing shit,” Darius said, gesturing to the diary with a frown. “Maybe it needs to lay in the moonlight for a while?”
“I’m coming whether you like it or not,” I growled, and a crease formed between his eyes. “Isn’t that what you said to me last night, babe?” Seth joked and I ignored him as Orion bared his fangs but didn’t take his eyes off of me.
“I’m a Phoenix who can destroy Nymphs, who has four Elements, who’s fought the shadows and won. And I will not be told no by anyone, Lance Orion.”
“Do not besmirch my beautiful lyrics ever again, you foul mouthed mutt!”
“Let’s go to war,” Seth said excitedly, knocking his shoulder into Caleb’s as he howled. “We’re not going to fucking…argh, never mind,”
“No one look them in the eyes, they’ll rip the soul right out of your body if you do.” “They’ll do fucking what?” Max balked. “Rip the soul from your very being, Maxy boy, do keep up,” Geraldine said, raising her flail.
“Even if one rips my arm off?” Seth questioned. “Because I can’t make any promises in that scenario.” “They won’t attack unless provoked,” Orion growled. “So, feel free to jab one in the eye, Capella, but do it somewhere away from the rest of us.”
“In the name of the true queens!” I bellowed as I raced back into the melee with my flail swinging in wide arcs around my head. “May the stars shine ever upon them!”
“If I die, don’t let my mom clear out my room,” Seth muttered. “There’s like soooo much porn beneath my bed.”
“Why the fuck were your eyes open?” “Because I wasn’t going to risk them getting past me to you,”
“Good golly lobsters,” Geraldine sighed and for once I knew exactly what she fucking meant.
She was the sweetest thing. Honey and sugar and all things good. She reminded me of a fairground, a school, a secret.
A word that meant everything to me. Because it meant her. My girl. My queen.
“You’ve passed the test. A new Master of the Zodiac Guild is born,” an ethereal voice filled my head and Darcy stiffened as she heard it too. “Protector of the royal line, safe keeper of the heart.”
You’ve found the final card. The stars have aligned, my duty is done. When all hope fails, Vega Princesses, find courage in the light.
“Wanna loosen your grip there a bit, Grus?” I growled as her fingers clamped tighter over my pecs. “A strapping man like you can handle a little light lady-handed squeezing,”
“Make mine a triple shot, I’m dog tired over here,” Seth called, and I looked over at him just in time to see Max punch him in the bicep. “What? Don’t you get it? Dog tired - because I’m a-”
“Of course none of you unworthy buffoons can feel the power within the weapon of the royals,”
He tossed it across the coffee table and Darcy caught it as Geraldine screamed in horror, throwing the back of her hand over her eyes.
“Yeah, that’ll do it.” He clapped me on the shoulder. “Now get on my back, I’m your ride for the night, sugar.”

“Get it?” Seth asked with a grin. “Like all tuckered out but with fuck because I want him to think I stuck my dick in her.”
“The day fast approaches, Master Lizard. Beware the bell that tolls,” she said seriously, glaring at me.
There were posters on the wall warning of some sort of wild monster man that Kylie keep harping on about it, saying it had attacked her one night a few weeks ago.
Darcy: Busy doing what? Darius: Stuff and things. Be there by seven, shrew.
“All good, Darcy, can you put me on speaker? Lance needs to hear this too.” Damn psychic.
Merissa Vega assured me you would protect her daughter no matter what spell you were under.
“We would have been raised together,” I murmured, because I knew it was true. “You and Darcy would have been with the four of us from the start, night and day, Awakened early, trained to lead.”
“I love you, Blue. I loved you then, I love you now, I’ll love you tomorrow even if I’m no longer on this earth. No time exists where I won’t love you.”
But instead of finding Mildred there, I found fucking Gabriel, grinning at me like some crazy asshole as he removed the illusion spells he’d put in place to make himself look like Mildred.
