Forever (Fallen 3)

This kiss was nothing like our others. My senses were so much stronger now. His delicious scent invaded my nostrils and his taste was like no other. He made my life complete, he was all I needed. He was my air, my food, my life. I realized I couldn’t feel the cold temperature of his skin anymore. We were the same now. I wasn’t breakable anymore. I was strong now. My skin was rock hard like his, impenetrable. He bit my bottom lip and his hand came around to cup my neck to hold me closer to him. He gasped and pulled away.

“What?” I asked. “What is it?”

“You… you’re the… Patrick! Patrick come quick!” He called. A smile broke out across his face. I hadn’t seen him smile that big in a long time.

“What is it?” Patrick repeated my question as he entered the room. “Kylie,” he gasped, stopping in his tracks. “You look…”

“Isn’t she gorgeous? She was gorgeous before but now? It’s like a light had been turned on inside her,” Jonathon smiled proudly.

I raised my eyebrows. I had no clue what they were talking about but it couldn’t be me. I was covered in my bloody hospital gown and I had been writhing in pain for days. I knew I had to look like the grossest thing ever.

“But that isn’t why I called you up here,” Jonathon danced giddily on the balls of his feet. What had gotten into him? “Look,” he pointed and lifted the hair off the back of my neck.

“Oh my,” Patrick gasped in shock and then he too smiled.

“Someone better tell me what in the hell is going on. I’m a vampire now and I’m not afraid to use my superhuman strength on either one of you,” I warned, pointing a finger at them.

Jonathon chuckled and Patrick joined in.

“Kylie, you truly are one of a kind,” Patrick looked at me with wide, astonish-filled eyes.

“Please, tell me. Is there something wrong with me?”

“No,” said Jonathon. “Everything is just great. Normally your symbol doesn’t show up until your first feeding and sometimes it can take days but you already have yours.”

“I do?!” I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Yes,” he smiled. “A very rare, almost unheard of power.”

“Yeah, right,” I rolled my eyes and snorted.

His eyes twinkled. “Kylie…”

“Yes?” I asked. “Are you finally going to tell me what this very rare power is?”

“You’re the Seer,” he grinned proudly.

I laughed. “You’re kidding right?” I put a hand over my mouth to stifle my giggles.

“No, I’m most definitely not. You are the Seer. One of a kind. There hasn’t been another Seer since Simone. This is amazing. And it will be most helpful since the prophecy came true,” he whispered the last part.

“It came true?” I asked quietly.

“Yes,” he said and then smiled. “But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“So, am I going to have visions or something? How does this work?”

Jonathon looked at Patrick.

“We’re not sure

. Simone was dead long before we were created. But I do know a vampire that would know,” said Patrick.

“Who?” I asked, and then I understood but he answered anyway.

“Gabriel.”

“Call him,” Jonathon commanded. “And find a way to get him here. I’ll tend to Kylie.”
