The past was haunting her. The legacy her father left her was a weight on her shoulders she could never get rid of. But Kayla Rivers knew she could fight it.
She knew she could be better than her father ever was and try not to be defined by the pas...

"WE'RE NOT WORTHY"
When Kayla was finally able to open her eyes, she was alone in her room, her breathing was heavy and she felt tired.
She closed her eyes back in relief before opening them again.
"That wasn't fun" Kayla murmured to herself, slowly lifting herself up in a sitting position, staring right ahead.
It all came back to her after a few minutes. How she almost dies because of her cousin. Her trip to Josie's mind and her fight of will to not let dark magic control her and her struggle to wake up.
Why couldn't she wake up?
Kayla was certain that after saving Josie, she and Hope would be okay. But that wasn't the case. She kept trying hard to wake up but it was like something was holding her back.
Did something happen that they got stuck in a magical coma?
Was Hope okay?
Kayla closed her eyes, focusing on Hope. She was awake too. But she wasn't alone.
Her eyes opened.
After a second, her eyes hardened and turned carefully blank.
Hope did this to her.
She wouldn't allow her to wake up. She searched through their link and realized that sense of holding her back led her back to Hope. To the familiarity of their link.
Hope put her in a magical coma because she didn't want to face a world without Landon.
And what about her? Hope never thought about her?
Did she worth so little to Hope that she would keep her locked down in a magical sleep because she didn't want to live in a world without a guy?
No.
Kayla thought that was ridiculous. And she'll never forgive Hope for that. She refused to be collateral damage for their stupid relationship that had no future. She refused to be collateral damage for someone she hated.
She didn't before, just said it because it was easy to say it but now? It was a fact. Kayla hated Landon.
~8~
Kayla walked down the empty and dark hallways of the school, weirdly enough wearing a black dress with a gray blazer.
Everyone seemed to be asleep, and she didn't want anyone talking to her, specially Hope so she forced to block Hope out of her mind so she'd believe she wasn't awake yet.
