19 Back to the present~

•Previously before The Past•

I felt tears dwelling up inside me as the memories settled into my mind. It was all in my head now- clear as a crystal.

•Lia's POV•

I panted heavily. I have known them my whole life- well, before I started to live another fake life. As a mortal. I embraced my cold body with Jack's.

"I am sorry-" I managed to blurt out.

"Why? Silly~" He teased. Damn I missed him so much. Even though I didn't feel it physically. My mind still urged to hold him tight. Never let him go.

"Aw stop it you two love birds" Racheal whined, "Well, you should say something!" She continued looking at Isabelle. Isabelle threw her hands in air.

Meanwhile, Jack and I were a blushing mess. We got up from the sand and dusted ourselves. The three R's like always stuck together and walked on the narrow path together giggling and whining. I kept looking around observing everything. I found it kind of hard to place a step- Jack tried to carry me bridal style. Oops- I weight a little too much for that now. He dropped me and he fell beside me. We started laughing as I kept blushing. Just like old times- before the curse started to fall upon us.

•Racheal's POV•

I was between the two boys, I glanced behind me to find Conall and Lila racing each other and they looked..... Happy- Why was I feeling that way? I couldn't possibly be jealous- She is..... SHE. Besides I was sandwiched between two fine and hot men! Why in the name of god was I thinking about Lila?!

"Rachie!" Randy brought me back to the world from my thoughts. He patted my back, "What do you say now? Should we go on a hunt for ingredients? Lets try brewing and spell again! I kinda miss it!" I nodded and we started to move into the woods. Penelope and Isabelle stopped us in our way.

"Nothing is like before anymore guys... I think it would be better for us to stick to each other until the attacks stop..." Isabelle said and Penelope definitely agreed, if she nodded any harder her head would pop out.

"Awww I wish everything would go back to the way it was...." Ricky whined. I chuckled and turned around to see Lila on top of Conall, laughing like crazy-

"Ricky, Randy I have a better idea" I yelled and started running towards Lila- um- the beach. They followed me and so did Penelope and Isabelle. "Lila!" I yelled and waved my hand to call her. I caught attention of the love birds too. We all gathered around the fire and now that I gathered everybody I had no idea I was going to say. God, I swear sometimes I am so effing crazy.

I cleared my throat loudly in the process of thinking. "So… Guys! I am bored, lets all play something!"

Lila laughed out loud "This is why you called us?"

"Yes" I said as seriously as I could.

Ricky spoke up "Well lets play what mortals would- okay?" Everybody kinda liked the idea. Lets give it a shot.

All through the time I was getting extremely close to Randy, in attempt to make Lila jealous. What was I even thinking she didn't even see me that way. She was straight! And so was I! What the eff was even going on.

Well I discovered something while this incident took place. Randy was not totally whiney about me being WAY too close to him. He almost seemed to love it- Why was I being such a bitch? What was I thinking using Randy?

As soon as I realised what I was doing was really a bad thing I tried to ignore the fact that I had a weird feelings for Lila and I hung out with Ricky and Randy who really loved me. I couldn't use them like that.

We played and played until the sea swallowed the sun and then came the moon. It shone brightly upon us telling us it was again the time for us to return to our hammocks and sleep the night away as the dwarfs made sure no attacks were going to hurt us.

We all started to walk back on the narrow path. Randy held me by waist tightly, and moved along with me.

"HEY GUYS!"

"Jeez! Lila! Don't yell you startled us" Randy whined.

She chuckled and pushed Randy away.

"Let's go!" She grabbed my waist tighter, practically towing me.

"Slow down!" I smiled and followed her.
