Chapter 46
I watched as Henry wrote some stuff on a paper as he was reviewing all the photos, videos and documents of what Lucifer and I had taken from the mission. Looking across the table, I looked to Isabella who was currently reading over her contract.
Since she was partly involved with Charlie, she is somewhat held responsible for her action. She will be trailed but the most that would happen would be her being on some house arrest for 5 months. Since she corporate with us, she will not be facing any jail time. Her signing the contact is just a gesture of keeping everything a secret from the public's eye and vowing to be honest in court along with admitting everything.
Grayson was also signing a similar contract. His was stating that he is not to mention anything that has happened with was pretty basic. He would also be a witness in court for Isabella along with myself and Lucifer. I told Henry that I offered him a spot in my gang to which he complied too.
Of course, Grayson had two weeks to make his decision. He will be with the guys and live like them to see if he liked it. This also meant that he would go on side missions to get a feeling of what we do. When the 2 weeks are up, Grayson will decide. Looking to my side, I saw Lucifer was typing something on his phone to which I then turned my attention back to Henry who was typing something into his laptop.
"Alright, so I think that's all for now. I've been ordered by the court to take you both into a safe house. The trail will be held after tomorrow. After the final ruling, depending on what it is, you're free to live your life," Henry informed Isabella and Grayson as he shut his laptop.
He then turned to look at Lucifer and I. "The time of trail will be 10 in the morning. I suggest coming half an hour before," he spoke to which we nodded. A few more words were exchanged with one another before Henry left with Grayson and Isabella. I looked to Lucifer who was now standing next to me in the lobby.
"What now?" he asked casually.
I shrugged, "What time is it?" I asked.
He pulled out his phones from his pocket and showed me the time, "Almost three in the morning," he spoke before shoving his phone back into his pocket. A smirk rose to my face and I leaned closer into him causing him to smirk.
"You know what that means, right baby?" I spoke in a seductive voice as I reached up to kiss him. "No but I'm liking where this is going," he growled as he went to kiss me. I then punched him in the stomach causing him to let out a groan. "It's time to run those suicide laps," I smirked as I walked towards the stairs.
"Get dress and meet be back here in 10," I replied as I walked up the stairs.
He let out another groan of annoyance before disappearing. Standing in the hall, I looked door the hall to see every door was closed. All the guys were still asleep. Using my powers, I opened all the door. Flashing into the kitchen, I dug through one of the drawers and pulled out the air horn. Flashing back upstairs, I blew the air horn.
"WAKE UP MOTHER FUCKERS!!" I shouted only to receive a bunch of tired groans. "I EXPECT TO SEE YOU DOWNSTAIRS IN 10 MINUTES," I shouted before walking into my room. I changed into a pair of jeans and a shirt before heading downstairs. Sitting by the bar, I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my phone to see some messages from Stella and Crystal not too long ago.
I put both of them in a conference call and waited for someone to answer.
"Hi!" Stella screamed through the phone. "Hello!" I answered back. "You come back from a mission and you don't even tell us you're alive?" Crystal shrieked causing me to chuckle.
"For your information, I just came back. Anyways, what are you doing up?" I asked.
"Well, we're coming with you," Stella spoke. My eyebrow rose, "Where?"
"To the warehouse. We heard what the guys did to the house and what your punishment was. We figured that we could tag along and just talk while they run. Besides, Axel is running with them too," Stella spoke.
"Why?" I asked.
I heard it groan in the background which sounds like Axel whining. "Because he also drugged you. Lucifer told us what happened so I thought Axel deserved it too," she informed me. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" he whined.
"We have already been over this!" Stella shouted back at him, "Right, well I'll pick Crystal up on the way. We'll meet you there and you could tell us every detail," she spoke into the phone.
"Alright, see you soon," I replied before we all hung up.
Some minutes past by and the guys all came down little by little along with Lucifer at some point. We all go into our cars and headed to the warehouse. As we got in, the guys all lined up and I stood in front of them.
"Right, well there's not much to say excepting you know what you did was wrong. Hope you learn your lesson after this. You're working out until I say stop. If I see you slacking and giving minimum effort, everyone gets an extra hour. Now start running and remember, there are cameras around so if you think I'm not looking, guess again," I warned them before blasting music throughout the room.
They all started to stretch before running around the inside of the warehouse that was like a track field. I grabbed the warehouse tablet which had the camera footage on it before going to sat on the bleacher. Looking towards the field at the guys running, part of me couldn't help but feel sad. I felt like I was missing piece of myself to which my mind fumbled over to Sean. From the corner of my eye, I could see the door being opened. Through it came Axel, Stella, and Crystal. I watched as Axel let out a groan as he went to join the guys. Stella and Crystal then jogged over to me before tackling me with a hug.
"WE MISS YOU!" Crystal shouted over the music.
I chuckled a little before opening a portal to my island house. Their mouths dropped in shock as they were witnessing my new powers. I gestured for them to walk into it to which they did. I grabbed the tablet before walking into the portal and closing it. We were currently in the living room of my island house.
"When and how!" Stella shrieked in excitement as she and Crystal took a seat on the couch.
"I guess this is my second gift next to ice," I shrugged. "Right, so casual. How are you not freaking out?" Crystal asked. I shrugged again, "I don't know," I mumbled.
They both looked at each other before getting up and sitting on both sides of me before hugging me. "Tell us what happened," Stella spoke in a soft voice as she sensed something was wrong.
"My role for the mission was to be a design for the women, Isabella who I was supposed to take out and Lucifer was to play an architecture to take out Isabella's husband, Charlie who I may add is a complete asshole. Lu and I were to act married and find evidence that they were building a bomb to which we did. During that time, I found a guy in Charlie's room names Grayson who had been locked in a cage like an animal. He was kidnapped you could say. Charlie wanted him to confirm the chemicals for the bomb but Grayson refused."
"Anyways, Isabella ended up helping Lu and I and we got Grayson out. I offered him a spot in the house to which he'll decide on. The mission was going fine until the end where it came down to getting rid of the bomb. Oh, wait, during that whole mission I had no memory. Lucifer gave me this drink to forget I was a demon and anything related to demons. He did it because my powers to open realms were acting up, in the beginning, causing the place to shake. But before we took the bombs out and stuff, he made me regain my memory. I figured out how to use the realm thing but not fully," I tried to explain to my best ability.
"Right so what happened?" Crystal asked.
I let out a sigh, "It was all going great until the end. I went to try and freeze the rocket over but I ended up having so much pain run through my body. Charlie's guys then attack us and Charlie went to shoot Grayson to which time froze. Sean then appeared and explained that his fate had changed. He's in some prison realm and as punishment, he's my guardian angel. He told me how to get rid of the rocket and told me I had wings. I told him I was going to find him but he said not to because it was too dangerous. He said he couldn't stay for long and then vanished. Time then resumed back to normal," I explained.
They both stared at me in shock.
"So many questions," Stella asked. "Same," Crystal agreed. "Well, fire away," I replied.
"Okay, are you mad about what happened because your eyes are black," Crystal asked. I shook my head, "No I'm not mad. It's been stuck like this ever since Sean showed up."
Stella's eyebrow rose, "Did he tell you what realm he was on besides it being a prison?" I shook my head, "Nope."
Crystal hummed in response as she was thinking. "My mother thought me everything from what she knew to what our ancestors knew. I've never heard of this prison realm that's dangerous. I could ask around if you'd like," she offered to which I thanked her.
"Lucifer said he would ask around too but I doubt he would want to help look for Sean after what happened," I mumbled as I slouched back into the couch.
Crystal pulled her phone out and started to type away. Within seconds, there was another person in the room standing in front of us. His hair was a bit ruffled and his eye color was red. His body was heavily inked and he wore a lip ring.
"Zepar meet Stella and -"
"I know who she is," he coldly cut her off as his glare was on me. "Right, well I need your help," she asked. A smirk rose to his face causing Crystal to let out a groan of annoyance.
"Not that!" she shrieked causing him to roll his eyes as he crashed into the couch across from us. "What's in it for me?" he asked with his eyebrow reside. "Blood," she plainly replied. He shook his head, "Not enough. I want Selena dead and a pint of your blood," he demanded.
Crystal let out another groan of annoyance, "No! You can't just kill all your ex's. Can you please just-"
"Please is not a word in my dictionary so unless you change your mind, you know where to find me," he mumbled as he got up.
Stella let out a sigh, "Why can't you just help us?" Stella asked. The guy looked at her with a sinister glare, "Why do you even care human. What's it to you?" he asked.
"The great feeling of helping a friend," Stella replied in a cheerful voice which only caused him to scoff. I rolled my eyes as he was being difficult. His gaze then bounced off of Stella and back unto me.
"Let me guess, the help is for you, right?" he questioned with a smirk on his face. "Yes," I bluntly replied. "Of course. The Princess always needs help," he mocked as he walked around the room examining the place. I looked over to Crystal who also looked annoyed at him.
"Where do your alliance stand?" I asked before looking back to him. "With no one. I do what I want when I want. Think of me as the rogue who doesn't work for your boyfriend," he winked. "How about this, if you win a fight with me, I'll help you," he offered with a sinister look.
"NO!" Crystal shrieked at him answering for me. I shrugged, "It's fine. I'll fight -"
"No, he fights dirty and he's one of the strongest demons," she informed me as Zepar's hand wrapped around her shoulders. "Aren't you a smart one," he smirked at her.
I rolled my eyes, "It's fine. Let's do this," I got off the couch and headed out the door and onto the beach. The girls and Zepar followed behind. Zepar stood a few feet in front of me with his hands in his pocket casually. I looked to Crystal and Stella who just shrugged as they were standing on the front deck.
"Anytime now my Queen," he mocked.
"It's Skylar!" I shouted as I started to focus. The more I stared at him, the more I started to feel sick to my stomach. "What's wrong?" he asked smirking.
I flashed towards him and went to tackle him but he teleported to where I was previously standing. Focusing my powers, I formed a portal under him but he quickly flashed behind me and kicked me 5 feet across the beach causing me to land on my stomach. Focusing harder, I got up and turned to look at him. Using all my powers combined, I froze the ground under him and used my portal to push him through but he quickly broke out of the frozen ground and teleported behind me. With a swift move, he wrapped his hands around my neck with a tight grip as he had me in a chokehold.
"Why do you desperately want my help?" he asked with his face just inches away from mine. "Because I'm trying to help a friend," I choked out as I tried to pry out of his grip but he was too strong.
He let out a scoff, "A human life is pathetic to save."
"He's not human. He's a demon," I corrected.
"Really? What's his name?" he asked a bit amused at my statement.
"Sean," I replied. Zepar tensed up for a moment and released me. I turned around to see him staring at me in curiosity. "As in Sean Polanski? The one who you went to war with?" he questioned with his eyebrow raised.
I nodded my head, "Yes. I'm guessing your alliance stand with him?"
Zepar stood still before shaking his head, "No...but I will help you if you tell me everything."
This time my eyebrow rose, "Why? I thought you didn't want to help regardless. What's it to you?"
Zepar's eye softened, "He's my brother."
