“Let’s go for a walk,” I said to Enzo. I nodded my head toward the forest, past where the groundskeeper was filling in my twin sister’s grave with moist dirt. Over our heads, the wind was howling fiercely and the sky was darkening at a rapid rate while a freezing, sharp rain was beginning to fall.

Enzo looked a little surprised at my request to walk in this weather, but he didn’t protest. “Lead the way,” he said. I took his hand and led him past the groundskeeper, into the thicker part of the woods where the wind and the rain were less prominent. It felt a little silly to be walking through the woods in that weather while wearing a simple black dress, which had actually belonged to Selena, but I felt too compelled to walk and I didn’t want to go back to the mansion.

I imagined that this would be a nice spot to sit and read during the nice weather; and somehow, as I stood there and looked around, I suddenly got the sense that Selena did just that while she was alive. It was as though our twin bond gave me the ability to sense

that, the Selena that I knew was just a fabricated image, a facade. A puppet to do the Luna’s bidding. And yet, in the end, she still

hardly spoken all day, but his touch gave away all of his emotions. I could tell that he was more deeply sad about Selena’s untimely death than he let on, but that he was also deeply relieved that everything was over — for the most part. For us, it was over. My father would handle the Crescents. Perhaps Enzo could eventually get his revenge on Lewis for disrespecting his father, but other than that, we didn’t have any part left to play in this.
