The next morning I woke up at 9 am. The weather was very beautiful and very sunny. I asked Xavier to give me a dress to wear because I had forgotten my suitcase in a hurry. I wore the dress and it was gorgeous. It was a sunflower colored dress with white polka dots.
"Indeed his taste for dresses is good," I mumbled to my reflection in the mirror. Xavier had sent my breakfast in my room. He was treating me like a royal guest or something which was a bit fishy. I quickly finished eating and went downstairs to meet him.
"You look good in that dress with a ponytail." Xavier complimented me as he saw me coming down.
"Thanks but don't try to flirt with me," I said with a smirk.
"Why do you think I am a nasty guy? I am being so generous to you." He said smiling.
"Well, you are evil and you kill people," I said.
"Oh don't be so dumb. Every fallen angel has killed someone or the other including Chris and Will." He said.
"But my friends don't kidnap me," I said.
"That is a deal. I did not kidnap you." He said.
"You could have stopped me," I replied back.
"I will cover my mistake now. Let's go." He said.
"Where?" I asked suspiciously.
"Chicago." He said smiling.
"You mean we will go all the way from Los Angeles to Chicago?" I asked.
"Correct." He replied.
"Why?" I asked.
"We will have some fun and my people have informed me that the sword might be there." He said.
"Liar. You are taking me there to find the sword." I said.
"We will have fun too." He said.
"I have an idea to make this trip more fun," I said smiling.
"And what is that?" He asked.
"Let's call Chris and Will here," I said.
"What if I say no." He asked.
All of a sudden the doorbell rang and I gave a broad smile to Xavier.
"What if I say that I have already called them?" I asked.
Xavier let out a sigh as Chirs and Will came towards me. I hugged them both.
"Did that jerk do anything wrong?" Will whispered.
"He is being generous," I whispered back.
"Correct timing. We are going to Chicago. But wait Chris is your love Mia, his presence is obvious but what is Will doing here?" Xavier asked.
"There are many reasons. First, he is my best friend. Second, he is stronger so he will protect me, and third, his humor is really good." I said smiling at Will. Will and Chris both nodded like an obedient child.
"Who am I? I can protect you too." Xavier said.
"You are Sherlock Holmes with a damaged brain," I said giving him a sarcastic smile.
"Fair enough. Let's go." Xavier said leaving his house.
Chris, Will and I giggled and followed him to his car.
"Hey, where is Zach?" I asked.
"Oh, he is busy figuring out something about magic," Will said.
I yawned and then closed my eyes and did not realize when I had fallen asleep.
"Wake up sleepy head." I heard Chris say. I woke up and saw that we had reached Chicago after one whole day. I got out of the car and stretched my back.
"Alright?" Chris asked.
"Ya," I said hugging him.
"Denver's men are everywhere. Be prepared." Xavier warned us.
"Whatever," Will said.
The road was crowded. Chicago was indeed beautiful. The streets were clean and the weather was pleasant. It was my first time visiting this place.
"Where do we go now.?" I asked.
"See that hotel?" Xavier asked pointing to a golden colored magnificent building.
"We will stay there." He said.
"Why is he being so nice?" I asked.
"Wait and watch." Will and Chris whispered.
We went to our hotel where we were greeted by the staff. The hotel was luxurious, clean, and tidy.
"Welcome to Massive socket." The receptionist said and took us to the second floor to our room. After a quarrel, we decided that Chris and I will stay in the same room and Will and Xavier in the other.
"What luck," Will said irritated and followed Xavier to his room.
My room was painted light white with a light mixture of yellow. A flower bouquet lied on the bed. The room was filled with the fresh smell of the flowers in the vase.
I pulled Chris inside the room and kissed him.
"I missed this." He said kissing me back.
"We need to find Denver before Xavier finds him." He said after a bit of talking.
"Yes. We need to find out what he wants." I said.
Then we heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and found Will and Xavier standing.
"Fun part is over. Now we need to go." Xavier said.
"I knew it," I said and followed him out of the hotel to a silent road.
"Where is the sword ?" I asked.
"I have heard that it is in an underground cave in La Sainte-Chapelle," Xavier said.
"That's not too far," Will said.
"We need to find the sword by the next full moon," Xavier said.
"That's for ten days," I said.
"Why are you hurrying?" Chris asked.
"We need to kill Denver then, otherwise, he will become immortal," Xavier said.
"Immortal?" I asked.
"He has witches and other angels helping him to become immortal. If he succeeds then their will bloodshed all over the Earth." Xavier said looking a bit scared.
"Why are they helping an evil guy?" I asked.
"They fear him," Xavier replied.
"Why is this road so quiet?" I asked suspiciously. There was no one around us which was freaking me out.
"Maybe there is some construction going on here," Chris said.
"Where can we find Denver?" I asked shifting my mind.
"We don't have to find him, he will find us," Xavier said.
"I think he already found us," Will said looking at the group of angels that were coming towards us.
"What the-...." Xavier said look around. We were surrounded by evil-looking angels from all directions.
"It's a trap for us." I shrieked.
