ANGEL|CALIBAN~CAOS

CHAPTER 34|RETURN

I tried to avoid going back to earth as much as I could, Michael would warn me if something were to come up, for some reason there was something he wouldn't tell me

And for once I was unsure if I wanted to know

We made the agreement to not interfere with the eldritch terrors, the heavens arguably were one themself, and we weren't allowed to interrupt them

Until everything changed, there I was watching Sabrina carefully, finally she had some rest, and then I hear a strong voice in my head

"It's time to return"

I tried to shake it slightly, it felt like someone scratching their nail into my head, and the next I felt a pull

And I was somewhere else
I stood up, but it wasn't of my own control, it felt like I was floating

And dancing

My brain was screaming for me to move, to leave or to call out to anyone, I could see things but I couldn't go towards them, I couldn't speak what I wanted to and I couldn't control where I was moving

It also didn't take long for me to realize where I was
Because I heard someone

"Eden..?" I heard a male voice speak, the inside of me wanted to freeze, I didn't want to turn around,
I knew who it was

But the outside didn't listen, she turned around innocently and smiled a bright smile, as if nothing had ever happened, I wanted to cry, fall to the ground and pretend this never happened, I couldn't bare the sight of him, but she walked up to him, arms open and giddy as she danced

"Caliban" she smiled touching his cheek, he grabbed my face and I could see tears forming

"How are you here?" Ironically I had the same question to ask him, did the Morningstar save him?

He sat down on the bed as he led me with him, i sat down as we looked at eachother

"I missed you is how" she lied to him, I wanted to call out, and tell him that I needed to leave, that this was another eldritch terror
And that I was one of them

She went to kiss his cheek, at some point before she swiftly maneuvered sitting on his lap, and they looked at eachother

I missed him, I missed him so much and I loved him, I want to tell him that I love him, tell him that I missed him, that I never stopped thinking about him

It shouldn't be her who gets to tell him, it shouldn't be this returned form that can't even agree to create a sentence with me, a thought or control, this body wasn't the one who spent all the heartbreak and everything we had been through

It was me

She goes to kiss him again, but am interrupted

"Caliban, what are you doing?!" I jump inside, but she simply looks up to Sabrina Morningstar and smiles

She stands up and hugs her, Sabrina taking a minute to hug back

"I missed you" is all she says to her, I agree, but I wanted to be the one to tell her

"I missed you too of course, it's been a while" she smiles softly, but looks back to caliban

"But why was she on your lap?" She furrows her brows slightly, and I am confused at her reaction, she seemed upset

"Am I not allowed to sit on calibans lap? I love him and so does he, he told me
And I told him I'd come back" she smiles brightly to him, but something was off

"I'm sure you do love him Eden, but, we're married now, and he loves me" is what Sabrina replies
Married? They're married?
I think back to Michael, about why I was only protecting Spellman and not Morningstar,
I'm so stupid
Of course he wouldn't wait, and it makes sense

"Oh" is all she says, and she continues on, and starts to wander around the room again

I hear Sabrina and caliban mutter to eachother, and with an instant I feel a slight breeze around me, I notice caliban looking down at me and she looks up to him, smiling again

We're at sabrinas house

She looks to see Zelda, hilda, Sabrina and mambo Marie by the entrance of the house, Zelda holding a dog

"So does anyone want to explain what's going on?" As the Morningstar pushes me forward lightly

I'm looking at Sabrina , and I think I would pass out if I was in control, I'd say how sorry I was, how long I've been waiting, how I've never really left and I was with her this whole time

But all that comes is "hello again Sabrina"

She walks over to me and hugs me gripping me tightly

"Why are you here? Only the dead are supposed to return" she grabs my face with a worried look on it

"Don't tell me you..?"

Caliban speaks first "Spellman, what do you mean 'only the dead are supposed to return'?" I think by instinct he grabs my hand, and if I was in control I think I'd be blushing right now, but all that I feel is the swaying of my head, humming slightly

"She can't be dead, that- that's impossible" caliban looks to me, I suppose waiting for me to say something that makes sense, an admittance or an explanation

"Angels can't die, though I must admit I'm much more visible than what I should be" she says as she starts to dance, finally this other part of me says something that makes sense, but once again thrown off by something ridiculous

I think Sabrina manages to catch on to the scribings of a madwoman, but caliban was still obviously confused, because the next words I hear are

"Sabrina, why is she so different?"
