~Chapter 14~

   I have to find him. I have to get to him. Caleb! Caleb!!
   Then I saw him. Caleb. My Caleb! My boyfriend, my husband, my king. Caleb! His silvery hair and his grey eyes, his tall stature, his muscular body, he looks exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. He's okay.
   "Caleb!" I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank goodness you're alright, I just-" A shocked gasp escaped my lungs as I let go of Caleb and stepped back. His eyes. They're no longer warm and sensitive. They're cold. Scary. "You're not Caleb."
   The cold eyes stung as they looked into me, through me. Right through me. "What are you talking about Adri?" He smiled, a sick mockery of his usually warm smile. "Of course it's me."
   I shook my head. "No. I know Caleb. You're not him."
   He smirked, an evil half-smile. "You don't know Caleb. You never knew Caleb. That sweet, romantic boyfriend wasn't me. This is."
   "No!" Tears threatened at my eyes. "What have they done to you!?"
   A voice, too familiar, incredibly terrifying, said, "Oh, I didn't do anything to him."
   My breath caught as the figure stepped out of the shadows. The tall figure with eyes a deep, dark blue and jet black hair, wearing dark jeans and a black t-shirt.
   "You..." I whispered. "Oh no," I looked back to Caleb. "Please-!"
   "You can join us, Adriana," the man said. He held out his hand to me. "You want to be with your dear, sweet Caleb don't you?"
   I looked at the hand in fear. A tiny part of my mind told me to take it, the part that wanted to be with Caleb no matter what that meant I had to do. But the rest of my mind knew this was not the way to go. "No... I won't." I gave Caleb a pleading look, and held my hand out to him. "Caleb... Please?"
   He averted my eyes. "I think you should go now Adriana." The tears that had been threatening now surfaced. "Caleb..."
   "Just go." I felt like a couldn't breathe. Air wouldn't get to my lungs. I took a wavering step back. Then another. One more, and then I turned around and ran as fast as I could away  from there.
   I have to get to Ai!
