The Fallen Star Chapter 22 Summary

  • Gemma gasps and wakes up again to find that she's back in the shop with Alex hovering over her. He looks worried and asks her what's wrong.
  • Alex asks her if she went into a vision and Gemma says that she did. He's amazed that she was able to come back from it safe and sound.
  • He leads her out to the car so she can calm down and has her tell him everything that she saw. Alex then explains to her that what pulled the woman into the lake was a Water Faerie.
  • Water Faeries are Guardians of the Underworld, otherwise known as the land of the dead. Whenever Keepers capture bad guys (like vampires going on killing sprees), they sentence them to a life down in the Underworld as punishment.
  • They keep their prisoners down their to torture them and feed off of their fear, which makes most prisoners go insane eventually. Once they go insane, the Queen orders to have the prisoners killed.
  • Alex starts asking Gemma about her dreams and she admits that they started happening once she began feeling emotions. Being in the car alone with him also starts to make her feel that strange electricity—and she doesn't know what to do.
  • Then she asks him if she can change what happened to the woman inside her vision, but he tells her that prophecies are almost impossible to change.
  • Even the prophecy about her—and how if anything happens to her the world will end—is super difficult to manipulate.
  • Gemma asks him if they have a back-up plan now that she's being emotional and Alex responds quickly that they don't. She senses that he's lying, though, and gets mad.
  • Aislin pops into the car and tells them that they need to stop fighting all the time because they're making this whole situation even more stressful. Then they pile into the car and drive off.
