I stood in the middle of the storm, wind whipping the tattered ends of my dress furiously around me, the dark fabric lashing out like a snake. My hands were stretched out in front of me, palms facing out. I was breathless, frozen in time, but the clock tower still ticked.
I had seven minutes until midnight, when everything would be lost.
We can change it! I heard Ryan's voice in the back of my mind. Where was he?
No, I replied. We can't. This is how it all ends. It's been this way for centuries, Ryan.
I saw his figure appear at the edge of the wind barrier. How did he get through? Nevermind, he was here, and he shouldn't be.
Six minutes.
You have to go, Ryan! I shouted to him in my mind.
I can't I can't let you go like this, Sarah! It can't end this way!
It has to! I felt the tears crawl down my cheeks. He didn't understand my world, just as I didn't understand his.
Sarah, you're not powerless! You can fix this!
Yes I am! What am I supposed to do, Ryan!? There is no spell to reverse or stop the Claiming! Not even in the Book of Moons! The winds were picking up.
Five minutes.
I saw him walking toward me out of the corner of my eye.
Don't get any closer! You could get hurt! He continued forward. How stubborn could a person be?
I don't care. I can't let you do this, Sarah. More tears ran down my face.
Four minutes.
Get out of here! Mortals don't belong here! I managed to turn my head towards him, whcih didn't help at all. He saw I was crying. He broke into a run, clearing the distance between us in about two or three seconds. His hair was windblown, his shirt torn like my dress. He reached out his hand as he neared me.
Ryan! Don't-- His hand touched my arm.
There was a pop, a rumble, and everything went black
So that's all for my review, I hope that you found it helpful!
