White.
That was all Kael could see.
No sound.
No movement.
No time.
Just… white.
Then—
A heartbeat.
Slow. Heavy. Unnatural.
Boom.
Another.
Boom.
Kael's eyes snapped open.
The world had changed.
The house was gone.
The storm was gone.
The city—
…was frozen.
Cars hung in the air mid-motion. Rain droplets were suspended like glass. Even the wind had stopped.
Time itself had been interrupted.
Kael stood slowly, his senses sharp.
"Amara?"
"I'm here."
He turned.
Amara stood a few steps away—but something about her was different.
Her glow was stronger now. Not out of control—but no longer hidden.
"You feel it too," she said.
Kael nodded.
"This isn't normal time."
"No," Amara replied.
"It's something else."
Then—
Boom.
That heartbeat again.
Stronger.
Closer.
Kael's expression hardened.
"It's the child."
Amara didn't answer.
She didn't need to.
Both of them turned—
At the same time.
And there she was.
Selene.
Floating in the center of what used to be the house… or what remained of it.
Except now, it wasn't ruins.
It was something else entirely.
A space that didn't belong to the normal world—cracked with light and shadow, like reality itself had been split open.
Selene hovered within it, her body surrounded by swirling energy.
But now…
It wasn't just energy.
It looked like threads.
Invisible forces weaving around her, connecting, pulling, tightening.
And at the center—
Her stomach glowed.
Kael took a step forward.
"Selene…"
Her eyes opened.
Slowly.
They were no longer human.
Not just glowing—
But layered.
Like multiple beings were looking through them at once.
"You stayed."
Her voice echoed—but not just from her.
From everywhere.
Kael stopped.
"I said I would."
A faint smile appeared on her face.
But it wasn't gentle.
"You didn't stay before."
The words hit.
Hard.
Kael didn't respond immediately.
Amara stepped forward.
"This isn't about the past anymore," she said.
Selene's gaze shifted to her.
And the space around them tightened slightly.
"No," Selene replied.
"It's exactly about the past."
The threads around her pulsed.
"You broke something," she continued.
Her voice deepened.
"And now… it has to be remade."
Kael frowned.
"Remade how?"
Selene slowly lowered her head—
Then raised it again.
"Through me."
The heartbeat exploded louder.
BOOM.
The threads snapped tighter.
And suddenly—
Visions flashed around them.
Kael saw it—
Not with his eyes.
But inside his mind.
A world where vampires ruled openly.
A world where humans no longer had control.
A world reshaped by something in between—neither species fully dominant.
Then it shifted—
Another vision.
Everything… gone.
Empty.
Silent.
Kael staggered slightly.
"What… is that?"
Amara's voice was tense.
"Possible futures."
Selene nodded slowly.
"Yes."
Her hand lifted slightly.
"This child… is not just life."
A pause.
"It's a decision."
Kael's chest tightened.
"What do you mean?"
Selene's gaze locked onto his.
"It will decide what the world becomes."
Silence.
Heavy.
Amara stepped closer to Kael.
"This is why they wanted to stop it," she said.
Kael clenched his fists.
"Then we protect it."
Amara turned to him sharply.
"You still don't understand!"
The space trembled slightly.
"If that power goes out of control," she continued, "it won't create a future—it will destroy everything before it even begins!"
Kael didn't back down.
"Then we control it."
Selene laughed softly.
But the sound echoed unnaturally.
"You think you can control this?" she said.
The threads around her suddenly expanded—
Stretching outward.
Touching everything.
Even Kael.
He froze.
Not from fear—
But from something deeper.
Connection.
His eyes widened.
"It's… linked to me."
Amara's expression darkened.
"Of course it is."
Kael looked at her.
"What does that mean?"
Amara hesitated.
Then said it:
"The child isn't just Selene's."
Silence.
"It's yours," she said.
Kael's breath caught.
"I know that—"
"No," Amara cut in.
"You don't understand."
Her voice lowered.
"It's connected to your bond with me too."
That changed everything.
Kael stepped back slightly.
"How is that even possible?"
Amara's eyes softened—but only slightly.
"Because the curse tied all of us together."
Selene nodded slowly.
"Exactly."
The threads pulsed again.
Stronger.
"You, me… and her," Selene said.
"We're not separate anymore."
The heartbeat grew faster.
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
The space around them began to crack.
Amara stepped forward, her power rising again.
"Then we don't have time."
Kael looked at her.
"For what?"
Amara's voice was steady—but urgent.
"To decide what we're going to do."
Selene smiled faintly.
"You won't have to."
Both of them turned sharply.
Selene's body lifted higher.
The threads tightened.
The light intensified.
"It's already choosing."
The heartbeat—
Stopped.
For one second…
Everything went completely silent.
Then—
A pulse exploded outward.
Reality shattered.
Kael grabbed Amara again—
But this time—
Even he wasn't fast enough to understand what was happening.
The world twisted.
The sky cracked.
The ground disappeared.
And in that final moment—
Kael heard one thing.
Not from Selene.
Not from Amara.
From the child.
A voice.
Soft.
Ancient.
"Begin."
Everything went dark.
