      ~ Volume Four: Last Chance ~

      The barn was not a normal barn. Nadia was sure she would walk into something decrepit that smelled of moldy hay and animal dung, but to her surprise, it was neat as could be, and far larger than it looked from the outside. Foster led her up some stairs to an elaborate area that half circled the entire barn. Each side had a traditional loft, and in between were several bedrooms for guests, all connected by a narrow hallway. Holding to the rustic design of their house, Nadia was delighted with it.

      Everything about you and your family is magical. She breathed, touching the smooth dark wood of the railing and looking down into the meeting hall.

      It only seems that way because you are from the outside. It’s just everyday, normal stuff for us. He smiled wistfully. I wish I could see it with new eyes.

      What do you think about all of this talk of me being a full or half dark elf? Personally, I’m offended. I mean just because I’m olive skinned, I may be a ‘dark elf’?

      Foster smirked and tried to discern if she was joking or just indulging in her own innocence. Sweetheart, it has little to do with your skin tone. Some dark elves are in fact darker skinned, but some are as white as the Queen. It has to do with aura.

      Nadia didn’t understand any of it. All she knew was that her life was in danger, as well as the lives of Foster’s entire family. What about my blood? Why does she want it?

      Foster paused and tried to think of the simplest way of explaining it to her. Lily is obviously sick, Nadia. A dark elf is generally not very nice. They tend to be thieves or assassins, and they have a penchant for the dark arts. Many of them are very powerful witches.

      Nadia let the thought sink in as she watched Foster’s mother glide into the meeting hall below. So, she thinks that if she drinks my blood, she will gain some of those attributes?

      Foster slowly nodded his head.

      It’s rumored she has already drank the blood of several creatures in an attempt to become more powerful. Julia said, as she walked up the stairs towards them. In truth she is weak, and drinking of the life blood is an abomination. She smiled at them both. "Come, I would like time to speak with you both before the meeting begins. She led the way back down the stairs and out into the night air.

      Nadia knew the situation was dire, but in the face of such beauty, she felt her nerves ebb a little bit. The night air was crisp, as only autumn can produce. A few of the first changed leaves were beginning to fall. They appeared black in the silvery light of the full moon.

      Julia led them to a cleared area behind the barn where tree trunks had been arranged around a small campfire. The fire was currently unlit, but two tall torches were burning nearby. Julia indicated for the two to be seated, and she gracefully took her seat next to Nadia.

      Tell me, Nadia, what do you know of your birth parents?

      Nothing at all. She recited the same story she had told Foster when they first met, of how she was found in a rest area badly injured, and had ended up with her adoptive parents.

      Do you know what type of injuries you had?

      Nadia frowned. Not exactly; my father only told me they were very bad and life threatening. I have a small scar on my side that he says was one of the injuries.

      Like a cut?

      Nadia nodded. Yes, but it is very thin. Something extremely sharp must have made it.

      Julia nodded. Tell me, do you understand what it means for Foster to say you are his chosen?

      I assumed it meant he has chosen me as his life partner. Maybe his wife?

      Julia smiled faintly. Yes, that is exactly what it means. She paused as Foster took Nadia’s hand in his. Are you prepared for such a commitment to my son?

      Yes. Nadia said without hesitation. I know we are young, and I’m pretty sure all young people have the idea that they know it all, but this feels right. She looked into Julia’s eyes and saw compassion there. "Before Foster, my life was miserable. I only have one friend. I mean, my boss is nice to me, but only one real friend. I never felt any real hope. I always thought I would finish college and maybe do a little better than my parents had, but that’s it. I always thought I would be alone."

      Julia’s face never changed. She wore the same serene look, with a faint smile, but her words were not easy to take. To be with a member of the Fae or Sidhe, you would have to give up virtually every part of your previous life. It would be for the protection of Foster and his people. Do you understand?

      Isn’t Foster also something else?

      She nodded. His father is Nephilim. Do you know what that is?

      Nadia shook her head. He’s powerful though, like Garth.

      Yes, he is powerful. A Nephilim is a child of the fallen. Originally it started as fallen angels mating with human women. Eventually, a rule was created for the safety of humans that Nephilim could only breed with each other.

      Nadia turned her head and looked at Foster. He was a complicated bag of races. Races that were supposed to be for make believe storybooks. It was hard to comprehend, but it was also the most wonderful thing she had ever heard. Well, I think it is all pretty cool. She said and squeezed Foster’s hand.

      Now, Nadia, the game is more complicated. You may or may not be of the Fae blood. I sense it when I touch you, but it’s faint, so I know you are not full blooded. It will however give you a certain privileges.

      What’s that?

      Foster and access to the Realm. Once we reclaim it, that is. She said with a wiry smile. Unfortunately the Queen thinks you are something that you are not. Perhaps you are dark elfin, but I doubt it. Your skin tone has nothing to do with it.

      Nadia chewed on her lower lip and tried to decide if she should ask the question that plagued her mind. Garth said I did something in the dungeon that humans can’t do.

      What was it?

      He said I used Glamour. Julia and Foster exchanged a quick glance.

      Glamour is used to make a Fae or Sidhe blend into their surroundings, so that no one can tell what they really are. It is occasionally used on buildings, like our barn for example. Please tell me what Garth thought you did.

      "He had killed one of the guards, but more were coming. We ran to the end of the dungeon hall, but it was a dead end, so we flattened ourselves against the wall, hoping to
