Tetra and Lo decided to visit their private beach in the morning, which had been graciously given to them by the angels. Lo went in swim shorts; Tetra in her newest two-piece.

He carried Tetra in his arms all the way to the water's edge, where the two of them looked out over the waves. The water was clear and you could see every sea creature that populated the area.

"It's beautiful," Tetra said softly.

"True," said Lo, "But I'd rather look at you."

She playfully pushed him. "Oh stop." He tackled her back and the two of them rolled in the pure white sand. They came to a stop, Lo on top of her. 

His green eyes could have belonged to any woman, Tetra told herself. But he chose her. Then, he kissed her.

They'd kissed a few times since they'd moved to Cloud 8, but this one was different. Tetra almost felt a jolt of energy pass between them as they were locked in a trance, becoming one.

Before she knew it, seconds turned to minutes. Lo had finally leaned up; the taste of his lips still lingering on her own.

He smiled and laid down beside her on the firm sand. 

"Look at the moon," Tetra said as they both gazed up high. She'd seen the moon out in the day before, but there was a slight hint of red to it.

"Is it supposed to be that color?"

"I'm not sure. . .but it looks pretty." They laid there for a few more minutes, silently watching the clouds pass by. 

Tetra turned to look at Lo and he looked back. A million words passed between them silently as each of them smiled naturally, not aware of their surroundings. Then the ground began to shake violently, causing both of them to attempt to stand quickly. The heaven-quake lasted a few minutes before stopping. 

Once it finished, Tetra clung to Lo immediately. "What was that?"

Lo hugged her close. "I don't know, Tet."

A large purple flame appeared on the beach and out stepped Evyn. Ava followed shortly after in a flash of light. Both of them were in their spirit forms.

"Something is seriously wrong," said Rich as he ran down the pier carrying various notebooks and devices. "The moon is terribly aligned and is turned more red even as we speak."

Evyn explained, "Something disrupting the balance of energy. Ava felt it first."

Ava nodded. "I got super weak when that quake happened."

"So, there's someone causing trouble in the spirit realm?" Tetra asked.

"We're in the spirit realm," said Evyn.

Tetra's muscles tensed. She hadn't felt angst like this in months. Before she could ask any more questions, a yellow blur travelled over the horizon and crashed on the coast. 

It was the head angel, the one that brought them to Cloud 8.

His yellow eyes looked almost pleading.

"We need help from you."
