Chapter 10


Milestone 10!!


"So you're thinking that showing me around all the places I lived will help me?"


"Well actually I thought it would be cool to show you around." Kylie truthfully says.


"Yeah it does sound cool; I mean we can skip the place from 1735 because I've been there through the portal."


"True but that was in 1735, it probably has changed." Erika speaks up.


"We will just go to all the five places; I mean four of them are in London so it should be easy. We have three days for it all, it should be fun." Kylie tells all of us; the plans all set in. "And here is out first stop." Kylie lifts her arms up while Erika spins around taking everything in.


"This is exactly the same as how I left it in 1549. I mean it does need a little cleaning maybe a little love but it is just the same." Erika smiles; still spinning around. "I miss this place so much; this is where it all started."


"So basically we are just sightseeing; there's nothing to it?" I ask.


"I just thought it would be fun to get us out of Lamar for a bit." Kylie replies back to me.


"Oh I am so glad we came here." Erika says coming out of a room with a picture of a woman with a small baby I was guessing was her and her mother. "I was unable to grab anything when I ran to London; I was being chased by those demons to get dragged into hell after my mother died of an epidemic. My father wanted me to be with him."


"That's terrible." I try to soothe her.


"Well now I can get them back." I could tell she was happy. She grabs a bag that was hanging on a hanger and runs into her room. I follow after her.


"Look at all this."


"I am glad you are happy."


"Thank you, I am glad you're happy too."


"You make me happy." I state confidently. Her response was to blush at the ground but that was the only response I needed.


"Guys we should get going to London, it is almost dark and who knows when those demons will be back I mean we are only a few yards away from the two portals. Kylie yells to us from the other room. "Grab everything you need, we need Bailey to make the portal, that way the demons won't know where we are."


"They are everywhere you know." Erika says stepping out of the room with her backpack full.


"You sure you want to carry that backpack everywhere, we can stop by home and also drop off Kylie's car?" I ask.


"That's a good idea. Can the car even go through the portal?"


"Your car went through that other portal."


"That's true but I only have three seats."


"We can all squeeze through."


"Okay well my car is parked out in the field where we had those demons attack us."


"I have a shield, it will make me feel sick, maybe pass out, but it will protect us."


"Hey I won't let that happen again we have enough weapons." I didn't want her to hurt herself for all of us.


"I wouldn't risk it, you will be fine." Sophie speaks up.


"Only use the shield if there are those demons are out there." I whisper in Erika's ear and she nods. We all head outside cautiously; no one knowing that Erika was not using her shield but we didn't need it because it was dead quiet.


"Hey Faith don't you have like a shield too since you are half demon?" Kylie asks.


"I'm not only half demon, but half angel too. So I'm not mortal at all."


"What can you do?"  Erika asks next.


"More than an angel and more than a demon."


"So your powers are mixed?" Erika continues with the questions.


"And stronger." Faith smirks.


"I wonder what would happen if we all put our powers together?" I mumble more to myself than to anyone else.


"Hey you two can put a shield around the portal that way we are all safe and no one uses up much energy." Kylie suggests. We all agree on the idea and we all squish in the car, two people more than it could fit but at least that was better than three or four more. I roll down the window and stick my hand out the window feeling the tingle that always comes when I make a portal and soon a swirl of whiteness is soon in front of us and soon Faith and Erika are joining me with the shield and then we are moving forward, rolling up the window as we go. After about a couple seconds the whiteness disappears and we are in front of Kylie's garage back in Lamar.


"Well that was easy." Kylie sits back in her seat. "Did you like picture where you wanted to go?"


"I guess I was just thinking about where we needed to go."


"Crazy how that thing works I wish I had an eye just on my hand that glowed gold."


"How come you don't have one?"


"Because you only have them in Heaven to get to earth if you need to, and only the watchers get one."


"Then why do I have one?"


"I don't know something is different. So Erika are you going to drop off that bag?"


"No point, what if I want something back in London from my old houses."


"Well then I guess we should get going then."


"I have never been here." Faith speaks up.


"Well there will be a lot of places you will never see." Kylie replies to her even though I think it was just a thought spoken out loud.


"Well the thing is I had dreams about this place, saying someone here will be your salvation, whatever that means."


'Me, I must be the reason you had the dreams, Zeus must know we are coming." I say.


"He knows our plan?"


"He must, he came to your dream, he's the one that controls my curse and he's making something different, he's planning something big. There is no need to even go to where we are going we should just go straight to Heaven."


"Awww come one I was planning to have fun." Kylie whines.


"What is the date?"


"March 25th why?"


"He's going through the months till it finally hits my birthday month. He must be, everything has been going since the begging which was in September."


"How can you just figure it out like that when I remember everything and haven't been able to figure out anything?" Kylie whines some more.


"It's just coming to me. He's been giving us hints we have to go now before it is too late." I pull out my hand and make the portal in front of me.


"I respect everything you have to do." Erika comes to my side and interlocks her finger into mine.



"I am with you too." My mom comes to my side and soon everyone is with me. And then we all step in the portal.



Everything around me is bright white and it is hard to see anything. Finally my eyes adjust and I see a huge golden gate in front of me. Erika's hand was still interlock with mine so I start to walk and everyone just seems to follow behind me, trusting my judgment. At the gate are two men just standing there side by side watching our every step.


"Ah Balies how nice of you to come back. How long has it been? Five hundred years?" One of the guards taunts me causing them both to erupt in laughter.


"Shut up Belen and Derrek. You guys don't have much of a life just standing there at the gates. It's not like anyone would just show up." Kylie defends me.


"Ah but you just did Kylie." The more muscular guard named Belen said.


"Did you say Kylie? The beautiful Kylie has returned to her rightful spot. You can join Dean once again. We shall let you pass, as I can see you have Sophie with you too, wouldn't Zeus be happy to know his wife as returned after so long." Wife? She never told me Zeus was my dad. He must have felt so betrayed. How come I wasn't sitting side by side with him then? Was my mom's betrayal the reason I was just a watcher?


"Wife?" I say my thoughts out loud. "You never said Zeus was the one that was my dad."


"I didn't think I would need to just yet."


"What do we have here?" The one named Derrek asked reaching his hands out to lift up Erika's chin.


"Etekah, half mortal and half demon. How are you up here? You should be dead by now turned to ash." I look to Faith and see her looking more nervous than she did when she first came up here. She must have been using her shield on Erika.


"And little Faith half demon and half angel. Now that's a weird combo but we can probably fix that."


"Can we just get through we need to speak with Zeus." I speak up.


"Do you really think a son and daddy talk will fix everything? I will let you through but you all have been warned."


"We don't need your warning." Kylie snaps walking through the gates as everyone else follows behind her. I didn't like those two. When we walk through the gates I look around and feel a wave of familiarity overcome me. I knew this place, it was once my home. It was a weird feeling being back. As we walk through everyone stops and stares at us. It was an uncomfortable stare, one that made me look down at myself to see if I was wearing any clothes. I was, so why was everyone staring? Suddenly a figure appears out of the crowd, one I can only recognize as Dean.


"Dean?"


"It's me. How did you get here?"


"I made a portal."


"You must be stronger then. You remember everything now don't you?"


"Yes."


"I need to get Zeus. Follow me I will lead you to him." We follow Dean down a long, narrow hallway the color of gold and to a door at the way end labeled 'Zeus.' Dean knocks once and then opens the door not waiting for an answer.


"Zeus you have company."


"Bring them in." A deep musky voice speaks up. Dean gestures us in and everyone just walks in. I was nervous and for a moment I forgot why I was here. I was scared for Erika because I wasn't too sure what he was going to do or say. When Zeus sees us come in a wave of surprise and confusion crosses his face and then it was gone replaced with an evil smirk that reminded me of those demons.


"What do we have here? The two people who betrayed me, the two abominations, and Kylie."


"We have come here to make an agreement, possibly a deal." I find my confidence to speak up.


"A deal? What for?"


"Come on you know something is different, I remember everything, everything is different."


"You fell in love with a demon."


"Well that can be changed, see here, Faith is half angel and half demon, she's both. But look not all demons are bad, we have proof for that."


"They are demons because they have done bad things in the past."


"Not Faith nor Erika, they simply didn't ask for this life."


"You betrayed me and so did your mother."


"You can't blame us because of love; you didn't need to put a curse or anything. You didn't do that with my mom."


"I did, she simply wasn't allowed back into The Heavens and she didn't have her wings or powers and the only thing keeping her from bursting into flames right now is Faith, same with Etekah only she wouldn't burst into flames she would turn to ash."


"There must be something that we can do to make this stop; some kind of deal."


"I could do a number of things, I could forget everything you and your mom can come back to Heaven and claim your rightful spot. Second, I could make you all mortal, have you forget everything and then all of you can live a human life but you guys won't remember each other and I can't promise you will all find each othe,r I mean of course Faith and Bailey will be born from Sophie but Etekah you might not even find Bailey again. Or third I can just let you guys leave and let the rest of the curse play out and you can find out the outcomes of it."


"Why can't we just all live happily together?"


"Then you could choose the second choice."


"I don't want the second choice."


"Time is ticking."


"Bailey just come on!" Faith yells. "I am running out of energy here!"


"Zeus stop!" Sophie steps forward hugging on to Faith.


"Faith will only experience pain when she has no more energy, as for you and Erika you already know. Tick tock." But after he says that Faith is dropping to the floor holding onto her chest and soon so it my mom and Erika.


"Make it stop." I scream.


"I have no control on the rules."


"You are the one that made them!"


"Stop fighting Balies and just live up here, I have lived long enough, it's okay." Erika whispers.


"I love you though." A single tear falls down her eye.


"I love you too." And when she says that I kiss her and making a portal around us as everything begins to swirl white around us. I didn't know what was to come next, was I going to burst into flames? Was I taking us safely back to earth? Was I losing her forever? I wasn't exactly sure what was to come next but I was finally right where I wanted to be, and being loved by Erika I know was the only thing I wanted.
