four. Home in LA
Home. It can be a person, a place, or any space where you feel most a peace. A sense of belonging, acceptance. Malachi's home is in Los Angeles, California, the sunshine state. it greeted him back like a warm embrace, he steps out on the tarmac from his father's private jet.
it was no use to the devil himself, he didn't have the means for the transportation, buying it purely out of boredom.
Now it had its uses. Malachi breathes in the gasoline, of the turbines powering down, Bella takes her stand at the service door.
" it's suppose to be nice, and cosy, not freezing. It's La, I would have thought the weather would be decent."
Amenadiel gives the assigned jet pilot his gratitude, driving and landing the aircraft safely. " I can assure you, Isabella. from my days in this city the temperature can rise in a drastic amount of time." He offers his hand for Bella to hold, knowing of her incoordination of her legs. He has come to learn just how easy humans can be prone of accidents.
Bella does a curtsy, her legs stagger at not being use to doing the movement. Amenadiel does the lightest of laughs, then changes to a disquiet concern when taking notice of his nephew standing a quarter way down the steps. a distracted gaze, he stares through his uncle. " Malachi? Nephew?."
The pilot and co-pilot gave amenadiel quizzical stares, existing the cockpit. " is Mr. Morningstar alright? Does he require medical help? His eyes are a opaque white colour." amenadiel relaxes his face muscles, to not give his feelings on display to the humans.
" he is quite okay, thank you for your concern. My nephew has a medical affliction, where he has seizures. resulting in the colouration of his eyes changing." his explanation works. each gasp, pity forming for their employers son.
" then we will leave. This is clearly not a case we should involve ourselves to."
Malachi could not hear or concentrate on the voices of his uncle and Bella. He flutter his eyes close, there was images floating, navigating in his brain of a house in Alaska. a one story contemporary residence, snow and woods surround the home. He holds in his gasp, same time as Alice does. " Malachi?" she does not hold in her consternation of surprise, to her friend's apparition standing before her. " hello Alice."
" I saw a vision. You left forks, with Bella. A-And it went dark-"
Malachis face grows cold. Hardening. a feeling of fear grows in alice, never before has she seen such anger. " I know who you are, Kai. but I never knew of your abilities to be of this powered nature. Never has someone been able to communicate with me like you are, now."
" Don't worry, it was not my choice or intention to have done this. I am just learning I can do.. well, this." He notes Jasper, isolating and not daring to speak. The chaos in the house, made for the set of affairs understanding. Esme sits desolate, venom lining her tear ducts that will never fall. Rosalie, not talking or keeping eye contact, does an unnecessary blink sensing stares and directs her eyes to where Alice stood, in a trance. Not seeing anyone there. Carlisle is the first to speak.
" Alice. What is it do you see? In your vision?"
Malachi, now turning away from gazing at Rosalie— a sullen, easy to see, look that swirls on her unblemished face. " do not tell them of you having this vision, Alice. from this point moving forth, I don't want for you to worry or concern yourself with me. Anymore. you have lost that right. If you try, I will know. You can leave Bella alone too."
She could sense a ever strong shift of cogency force her out of the vision, Amorphous energy effusing off Kai. " goodbye Alice." He says, disappearing behind mist. she shudders, that was not the Kai she knew.
" it was nothing, Carlisle. actually nothing. Just a dark void." She lies.
Bella gives a repose breath. Malachi was coming out of his vision. " Kai. Kai, we are just leaving the airport. Your uncle had to help me guide you into the car he rented. You were in a daze." she feels the skin of his forehead, using behind her hand, he was starting to have a feverish heat coming off him. " you are burning, Kai Kai."
Amenadiel turns on to the intersection of the U.S highway. He peers through the cars rear view mirror. " you know how to drive, uncle amen?" Malachi immerses his uncles ego, a hint of a chuckle. " never taken you as the one to drive around in a human creation, that takes part in the emissions helping global warming."
He earns a roll of his uncles eyes. " I had to learn in order to fit in the role of a everyday citizen. Thanks to your aunt Mazikeen."
'Can always count on maze.' He hums.
" Charlie asked how the flight went. I just told him we landed not to long ago." Bella switches off her cellphone, in reply to her fathers text. in return Malachi gives a timid look silently thankful to the chief. In the hour and time of driving, it took to arrive at Chloe's house, he begins tearing. He was home.
Charlotte Richards, actually the goddess of all creation and the mother of angels, would never had said it out right but she longed to explore the new world humans had created. That is where it leads her to follow her son, amendiel, hiding behind a tree. Curiosity arises at the metal invention on wheels, known as 'car', taking in a teenage boy coming out of the backseat.
he had divinity, a mighty essence.
" Amenadiel, son of mine. You did not tell me you had yourself an offspring and made me a grandmother. How could I have not felt him?"
If his eyes could have grown wider in size, they would match the size of dodgers stadium.
" Mother! Did you follow? you are meant to be at the penthouse waiting for Lucifer and I." Bella lets her jaw slacken, the woman wore a tight leather body fitting trousers that matches with a suit jacket two sizes too big.
" m-mother?" she splutters. Malachi had zero time to react, for his 'grandmother' had forced his head down.
" You have made quite the striking, easy looking son. But he shares the colour hair as Samael. Nose too." Then it was as she has a revelation. " Lucifer finally procreated, giving me a grandson. He is the first of my children! who would have given that thought, in your fathers name, this is quite the nice surprise."
" Hello, grandma. I'm Malachi." He is causal to say. " Malachi. how fitting, messenger of god. and who is beautiful specimen of a girl? Oh my dear grandson have you found a mate in this girl? You will make your own fine babies. Your grandfather chose nice." The goddess spoke, taking her attention on Bella inspecting the clothes she is dressed in.
" M-Mother! Mother! I do not think it is best for you to be here. You are using the body of a lady human, that is not yours, there are many what ifs in play here. One being the killer who murdered her, If he sees you."
Bella had many inquiries of what is transpiring before her. Choosing to not push it. " I have many questions I wish to seek an answer for. but in this time and moment, I just want to go inside. lay down. The jet lag is settling. It was nice meeting you, grandma."
Charlotte frowns. did not need her husbands power of knowledge to know her grandson was deflecting negative feelings. Sadness. Bella takes her carry on, shouldering the bag, going behind in following Malachis heels.
" what is ailing my grandson, amenadiel. Do I need to make an example of a person who hurt him?" She seethes. It was new, only speaking not even five minutes, already having a radiating maternal concern. Gods mightiest of angels could only sigh, " He was rejected by his mate. Mother. That is all I am going to convey."
The goddess of life and creation was furious.
" what is that girl who just walked in with him? Was she responsible? How dare she-" amenadiel interrupts. " it was not- it was not her, mother. She is not Malachi's other half. he is..." the goddess stares, disconcerted, then it changes to understanding.
" He likes other male humans. So, what is the name of this imbecile who bought such grievance to his life?" This is a first Amenadiel thinks. His mother accepted his sexual orientation and preference fast.
" yes. A, a vampire. Mom."
She reveals a disgusted sneer. " vampires. do not even question how they become such creatures. I will hunt that undead corpse, having the assist of Mazikeen. Just you watch."
" much as the idea sounds inviting, mother. Malachi.. he- it's difficult and different. Father was clear with his choice to bond your grandson with the cold one. I have seen it, mom. But now? It is as if I am witnessing him become a new .. person. I don't like it. I fear this heartbreak is going to be the start of an inevitable difference coming."
He could see an absence of what light is left in his nephew, diminishing. That is what has him ill and unease. Charlotte had never seen; discern, such worry in her sons eyes. It leads her to her speculation to grow.
'I just know how to make him feel a little better.' " I just know how have him heal in a time of disparity. Son."
'This is the perfect timing to create that delectable, gooey, cheese dish that children like. Macaroni! A gift to my first grandchild.'

Bella felt helpless. Malachi sat on his bed, face inscrutable and lack of expression, crossed legged. It was now past sun down his mother was expected to come home, after her duty of working and solving the case involving 'Charlottes' murderer being caught. Amenadiel left, taking the supposedly dead woman back to the penthouse. Bella uncrosses her legs, crawling on her hands to sit beside Kai. Taking his body in, cradling his head.
No tears came out. Just holding her. He moves his face to stare into her boring eyes, Bella could feel her heart break in pieces. Such fragility, anguish should never be felt.
" I don't want to feel this way. No more, Bella."
She knew he was serious, using her actual name was one sign.
" I will be here. To support that choice, with you, Malachi. you know I will be there to stand at your side, on the guidelines cheering you on. You doing this is a step towards healing." She reaches out, fixing the beanie that fell. but Malachi takes it off, giving a second to stare.
" I don't want to wear these. No more. For a start. " It was a reminder of Edward, how he loved the sight of Malachi wearing the woollen knitted hat. much as he liked the idea of having one on, it was a wound created. " O-Okay. Of course." The choice even seemed more surprising, to Bella. but she easily understood why.
Trixie comes sprinting in, squealing in elation. " KAI. You are home! I was right, I did hear you." she chirps, tackling her big brother. Kai allows trixie, to put her much smaller size arms over his neck. " trix. Hey, little monkey."
Chloe turns her head over and around the threshold of her sons room, knowing she was not hearing voices. Her son was back so soon. " honey, hey. You are back. Bella? You too? hi. W-What brings you home, baby. Not that I am happy, of course I am."
Bella gave a brief look, asking; silent to Kai if he wanted her to talk. He nods. " I think I should start from the first day of school."

Jasmine Speaks;
My grandmother is not in the best condition. She is dying, only has days to live or weeks. The specialists are giving her end of life medication, treatments to keep her comfortable. I am surprised I managed to do this chapter.
