(Luna's pov )
  I had the most horrible dream .... In my dream , I couldn't see a thing ... I could only feel the cold wind on my skin brushing all my hair to stand on end and goosebumps to rise . I was blind .
I could hear the cry of a woman .... In labor... She screamed in pain , I knew for sure it night , I could sense it , it was a cold eerie night ... Sounds of owls crying at the painful scene in front of them which I couldn't see
  "Th...they are coming mom .... keep her safe.... keep Luna safe " The woman spoke tired and empty .... And I gasped at the realization that this woman said my name.... Was she my mother ? I needed to see ... I want to see this woman ... I needed to see ... Her ...
Suddenly the air around me grew heavier around me .... Shrieks and screams .... Cries of agonized soul's ... Souls that had felt pain ... Pain that they could never live from... I sank to my knee .... The desperation to see grew more intense as I took my hands to my eyes ... Piercing into it ... I didn't know what led me to thinking about taking out my eyes out ...or if I could take it... But that's what I wanted to do ... So badly... My fingers sank into my eyes as I let out a loud cry... I could feel the blood escaping through the vein in my eyes... Pain pulsated and echoed through every corner and fibre of my bones.... Whispers of souls cut through my eyes ... but I could clearly hear one saying ...
  You'll never win this Hunt
  I woke up with a heavy gasped , I felt someone's hand gripping my shoulders , I blinked a couple times to see Hadrian starring at me with a very concern look , he brushed the hair out of my face , putting it behind my ears ...
" Hey... It's okay... You're alright .." he assured , I'm sure I looked terrified , I had never dreamt something like that before ... I had never seen anything related to my birth before , why now ...  Hadrian was sitting beside me on a stool came to sit down on the bed with me... He stretch his his hands and engulfed me in a tight warm hug, my hands went around him as I sunk my hands into the flesh of his back , holding onto him for dear life, From what I could see , I was in Hadrian's room .
  Then it down on me what happened before now ... Me holding Storm.. and then getting sucked into that mysterious vision ... And then Amelia and then ..... Storm.. that's right ... Storm is Amelia ... Amelia is Storm... My best friend ... My soul sister ... Maybe now it's only right to say my soul brother , but why did he not come looking for me , why did he avoid me all this why, even if it was all just a plan ... Didn't our eighteen years of friendship mean anything to him, why was everyone I care about always leaving.
Was I that repulsive ?
" Hey don't say that " I heard Hadrian voiced out , voice stern like that a voice of a teacher to a student , only that he was more lay back , he pulled away from the hug and I have him a questioning look as to his last sentence ... I never said anything ... which only meant ....
  " Sorry ... Your thoughts were so loud I couldn't help but listen ... Look you're not repulsive okay... if Storm didn't come back for you then it's his lost Okay... You're the most attractive person I've ever met... Heart and soul ... There's nothing about that is repulsive... You are so brave ... You came through to me even when all my walls were guarded in my heart... You broke those walls... And then my heart saw you as the bravest one to finally own " he finished eyes piercing even to the deepest layers of my being , I couldn't help but smile as I let a soft giggle escape through my lips
  " What?" He asked raising a brow at me in confusion
  " Nothing... I just never knew you were a poet " his eyes grew wide for a second at the compliment , shifting slightly on the bed as he looked anyway but at me, like he was embarrassed ?
  " Hadrian ? " I called ... Now leaning forward on my hands to search his face
  " I knew that sounded too cheesy" he mumbled to himself but I still heard and another giggle escaped my throat again , he turned to look at me . He took my hands and kissed the back of my hands , I stopped laughing to look at him and he was also staring at me , before he kissed my hand again , he continued trailing hot soft kisses up my hand ... Kisses that spoke volumes of adoration ... Kisses that set my blood on fire ... Kisses that gave me encouragement... Kisses that lightened my soul ... I felt his lips now on my neck , I let out a soft moan as I tilted my neck to give him full access... He pulled away only to capture my lips with his lips, stealing my breath away , travelling through all the channels of my mouth...he pulled away , looking at me with soft green eyes that always drew me in ...
  " I may not be a poet but I'll write poetry on your skin with the kisses of my lips " he said... Those words of his ... Opened a certain dimension in my being .it suddenly downed on me that I wanted to embrace him forever , I wanted to always be by his side , I was head over heels in love with him ... That's right I loved Hadrian .
I loved Hadrian and one thing was sure , I would never unlove him.
I kissed him ... This time .... Sinking my hands into hair and loving the feel of it before I pulled away....
  Hadrian looked at me with a questioning look and a smile spread across his lips
" You are a poet , a cheesy poet ... But I love this poet " his eyes sparkled at my words but he didn't get a chance to reply as a knock came through the  door ...
He grunted deep in his throat at being interrupted , I laughed at that ... He stood up and went to open the door, he seemed unpleased at who was at the door, his beautiful smile turned up in a scowl..
" What do you want ?" He asked with enough malice in his tone to put mortal hate to shame
I couldn't hear the other person , I got back laying on the bed ..
" She doesn't want to see you " I heard Hadrian speak and I got up abruptly , he shouldn't speak for me .. I didn't even know who that was ... It sure wasn't fair to dismiss the person without my consent .
  " Hadrian , who's there ?" I asked ..
He turned and looked at me
" Storm " was his plain answer ..
  " It's okay. Let him in " I instructed, nodding my head to Hadrian reassuring him that it's really okay , he opened the door wide as Storm walked in holding a bottle with his head down , finding the floor interesting , Hadrian must have perceived that I would want to talk to Storm alone , gave me a smile and then glared at the direction of Storm ..
  "I'll go check on Darren ... " He said as he walked through the door closing it behind him .
  Storm came around my bedpost and dropped the bottle on the cupboard
  " Take this... It will neutralize the pain on your head caused from your vision " he said slowly ... He was decked in the same attire , with his black shining raven hair and beautiful red eyes behind his glasses ... I still couldn't that Storm and Amelia are one and the same person ... It never would have crossed my mind ... But I'm not so surprised .. Storm is a shape shifter he could take the form of anything he wanted ... And he was Amelia , my best friend , whether he was a boy or girl I didn't care , all I cared about was the fact that he was still my best friend .. eighteen years of friendship wasn't a joke to me ..and I needed to know if it was a joke to him ... I needed to know if I had lost my best friend too..
Storm turned to leave but before he could I sat up ..
" You're just going to leave ?" I snapped , irritated by the way he ignored me
" Yes Luna , I came to give you the syrup and now I must leave " he said grimly adjusting his glasses as he turned back to face me , keeping a poker face ... Great ... I just dealt with Hadrian stoicism now I have to deal with his ... Was everyone around me so cold ?..
" You know what I saw in that vision , right ? You are Amelia ... Why didn't you tell me... Why did you leave ... I thought I lost you ... After grandma died ,I thought I'd never see you again .. why didn't you warn me back then!!" I asked more like shouted I was boiling for some truth right now...
" You wanna know why ... Good I'll tell you ... I was being hunted by queen Rhea... They already found me ... If I had stayed around any longer ...they would have traced me to you... If would have been against everything I worked hard for ... I was to protect you... So what use would I be if I still caused your capture ... Luna .. I'm sorry... I didn't want to tell you ... Cause I was scared ... Scared you would act this way ... Scared they would find you ... I was supposed to be the one who would bring you back on your eighteen birthday but I couldn't stay til then I had to leave ... Hadrian had to be sent ..." .
 
His stoicism broke down as I saw torture in his eyes ... The guilt and shame ... He was blaming himself..
" It's my fault..." He continued now sobbing struggling to hold the tears back  " I was too careless I was caught ... Even your grandma didn't know about me ... I'm so sorry I left ...so sorry you had to lose your grandma ... I'm sorry okay... I didn't look for you... Because .. what use was it ? I couldn't do anything back ... What can I do now " now he broke ... Tears running down his eyes... I came down from my bed ... I stood to my feet ignoring the pain that rang through my body as I walked to Storm and wrapped my hands around him , giving him a warm hug...
  " It's not your fault ... I'm sorry I was unreasonable.. I never knew... You shouldn't blame yourself ... Nothing else matters now... You're here now .. and I'm grateful ... I missed Amelia now I'm so glad I get to meet Storm " I said lightly which I earned a light chuckle from Storm ... I was satisfied ... Turns out I had never lost my friend ...
  The door suddenly burst open to reveal  a very angry looking Zuka ...
  " As much as I love this reunion ... It will have to be on hold ..." She said... I pulled away from the hug .. as Storm and I turned to face her
" What's wrong? " I inquired
" There's an infiltration on the barrier , the city is being attacked. "
