Chapter 6

***Hunter's POV***

One second, we're all quiet, each of us stuck in our own heads. Persey's mom was ... dying. The one woman who had cared for me like a real mother should was going to die, and I couldn't do anything about it.

I had pissed Persey off, carrying her out like that. But when Eve Harton asks you to do something, you do it, no questions asked.

Despite all the depressing factors of this day, I still felt joy. Persey was my soulmate, which proved everything. She truly was mine, and I was hers. Well, at least we would be when Persey finally forgave me.

All of a sudden a cry comes out, startling me out of my thoughts. I look over to see Persey sobbing, each of her tears like a knife in my heart. I'm not sure how she knows, but she knows. Eve Harton is no longer with us. 

I'm about to comfort her when a bomb hits. I don't know where or how, but suddenly something atomic hits right by us, causing me to slam on my brakes. I can see the 4 in the back wince, holding their heads. (We really need a better getaway car, Hayden can't sit on Jordan's lap forever.) 

I look over at Persey, ready to jump in front of her, when I notice nothing wrong with her. She even looks like she's ... glowing. Then it hits me. That wasn't a bomb, it was her magic, reuniting with her. I can feel the waves of it from here, the magic almost hurting me from how much is rolling off her.

My sunshine is quite literally the sun, her magic as powerfully harmful as the rays of the sun.

"PERSEY," I yell, trying to get her attention. I'm not sure where her mind is at but I'm not even sure she knows the car is stopped.

She finally looks over at me, and I gasp. Those gorgeous blue eyes are now ... rainbow. The colors of the rainbow are laid throughout her eyes, giving her the appearance of having rainbow eyes with a blue background. I'd never quite seen anything like it, and I never want to look away.

"Yes?" she asks, unusually calm. She's still crying, but they're silent tears trekking their way down her cheek, rather than the loud sobs from earlier.

"Sunshine, your magic is harming us. We need you to mute it." I say, trying hard to keep her attention away from the backseat, and the morons that have blood coming from their nose. I'm not sure why, but her magic doesn't affect me as much as it does the others. "Do you need me to tell you how?"

"Yes.... yes please," she says, her utter confusion showing. It's obvious she has no idea how to control her magic.

"Ok, just look inside yourself. Notice how your body moves and feels. In your stomach, you should feel a knot. Dive inside the knot and you should find your magic. Just command it, and it shall listen to you, to the best of its abilities." I tell her, watching as she shuts her eyes and follows my command. I have no clue how we'll hide her magic, we can try and cover it but no matter what there will still be a signature. No one's magic was powerful enough to fully cover their signature, you could only cover parts of it.

"She... she was right," she murmurs, her eyes still closed. "It feels endless, like I may never run out of magic. I'm not sure I can do this, it's too much. I might drown."

"Sunshine," I tell her, reaching out my hand to grab hers, "I'm right here. I'll never let you drown. Now tell it to hide your signature, it won't be able to do all of it but it should be able to hide most of it, so it doesn't hurt." 

"Hide my signature," she tells herself, her voice only slightly wavering. 

One second, her magic was surrounding us. The next, I feel nothing coming from her. Absolutely nothing, like she's a dud once again.

"That ... that should be impossible." I say, seeing the love of my life in a new light, "I've never heard of anyone able to fully hide their magical signature. You truly are one of a kind."

"Oh for fuck's sake." I hear my moron of a brother say, "If you spent less fucking time complimenting her and staring at her like a stalker, maybe we wouldn't have almost fucking died back here. NOW, if we can please LEAVE I would be forever grateful. While I love sitting on my soulmates lap, if his elbow digs into me one more time, I will murder someone. And it will most likely be my idiot twin."

"OH MY GOD," I hear Brandi yell, her loud mouth self coming out, "GURLLLL YOU GOT SO MUCH MAGIC. YOU BETTER BE ON MY SIDE IN EVERY FIGHT, OR ELSE I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE."

"Brandi, I swear to god, stop screaming." my soulmate (fuck yeah I get to say that now) says, glaring at Brandi, "Obviously we'll be on the same side. But if I go deaf, I'll murder your ass."

Zach opens his mouth, about to speak, when I beat him to the punch. "You mofos better buckle up. We're in for a hell of a ride."

I quickly start the car up again, going far above the speed limit. I have no doubt that her dad just felt that bomb go off. And I didn't want to be around when he came looking for the source.

"Woah biatch, slow down, I'm not dying at the same time as you," Brandi says, her voice having just a hint of maliciousness in it. I can tell she's angry at me for leaving, but I don't care. I'm angry at myself for leaving, I'm not adding her to my guilt.

I speed up, wanting to reach Persey's grandmother's house soon. I'm happy to be seeing her again, the eccentric woman a breath of fresh air. No wonder she raised a daughter as wonderful as Eve.

I feel someone grab my hand and look over, my heart stopping at the sight of Persey's hand in mine. I squeeze hers, letting her know I'm here for her. 

I never quite understood how or when I truly fell for her. Sure, I felt the spark when we first met, but we were six at the time, we didn't truly understand love. When her father came to visit more frequently when she was 12, and she needed a shoulder to cry on and a rock to lean on, I was there for her. I slowly fell deeper and deeper in love with her, watching how strong she was to still hold her head high, no matter how tough life was.

I think I imprinted with her when we were 12 and felt content watching from a distance until that day. The day she went on the date with that boy, the one who thought he could have her. I may not have been able to be with her at that time, but I sure as hell was going to let other's know she wasn't available. I think that day, I realized she was more than some girl to me. She wasn't some crush, she was my forever. I had never felt so angry, or jealous, before in my life. 

I would forever thank my lucky stars for bringing Persey to me, for making her my soulmate. I don't deserve her, but I sure as hell will work hard to deserve her. Because my sunshine brings color to my world, a world that was black and white before her. And I sure as hell would not let her go without a fight.

Watch out Lucifer, we're coming for you. 

***A/N***

Sorry for the late entry y'all. I'm not sure what to name the grandma, so please give me suggestions.

Also, thank you for reading :)
