SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16

I didn’t know how I should reply to his statement without sounding mean, so instead I asked another question.  “I know what humans are, hell I was one until a week ago. What I don’t know is what the hell a damn Neither is you keep talking about? Is that what you call demons?”

“No of course not a Neither hate's demons as much as we do. Remember when I told you everything you always thought was make-believe was real?”

I nodded my head yes.

“A Neither is all those things like vampires, wear wolfs, fairies they are shielded from coming into the Keepers' World. However, that didn’t stop them from trying to eighteen years ago when the demons broke through.”

“No shit. Are you telling me vampires and wear wolves are freaking real? Holy shit I’ve entered the freaking twilight movie. Okay I have to ask…why can’t they enter here and while you are answering that you might as well go ahead and explain to me where the hell the Keepers world is exactly?”  While I’m asking him these question I’m still trying to digest the fact vampires, wear wolfs, and fairies are real. Wow my life is totally fucked up.

Case chuckled, “Well the here part is simplest to explain. The Keeper's World is on earth, but it’s in a different dimension. We can leave this dimension and enter the earth’s dimension with our minds. You will be able to do it to after you are shown how. As for the reason a Neither can’t enter our dimension it’s because they are not holy and without that you can’t enter our world. Well not as long as the shields are up anyways.”

Now he’s got me completely enthralled I am so spellbound I’m not sure what to ask next so I go with whatever comes out of my mouth. “What do you mean they're not holy?”

“God created us, we are part him, part angel. We were created us to fight demons to keep all raises safe from demons, That’s what makes us holy, Neither’s aren’t bad, well you do run upon rogues every now and then but for the most part they aren’t bad. They only want to live out their lives like humans do. But as you know not all humans are good it’s the same way with neither’s the only difference is we are never a loud to take a humans life no matter what the circumstances is. But if a neither is caught trying to harm a human or a keeper we kill them on the spot no questions asked. We are peace keepers between humans and neither’s it’s our jobs to make sure humans never find out about the neither’s but at the same time we are warriors against Hell we protect all raises against demons even it means giving our own lives to keep them safe.  

“Wow…um…shit…I don’t know what to say I mean this is a lot to take in to say I am dumbfounded would be putting it mildly. How is it even possible for all of this to be going on and humans never know anything about it?”

“When human does stumble upon something their minds are wiped so they can’t remember it’s been that way since the beginning of time.”

Deciding I’ve heard enough to keep my head spinning for the next million years. I raise my hands stopping him midsentence I ask if we can move on to lighter subject while I process everything he’s told me. He laughs shaking his head yes so I jump to a question I have been dying to know about. “What kind of powers do I have?” I question feeling excited about the possibility of having super hero powers. How badass is that?  Hey don’t judge me for my crazy ass thinking until you have been in my shoes.

“I don't know…every Keeper is different. We all have certain things that we can all do but at the same time we each have our own powers unique to only us.”

“What powers do you have?” I inquire.

“Let's see I'm strong but all World Keepers are in case you haven’t noticed that yet. We were all created to be ass kickers.” Case laugh’s knocking his shoulder against mine.   

I lean over giving him a shove back while snorting as if I am not completely impressed with everything he is saying. Case laughs at me as rolls his eyes, he continues speaking.  “We all have the ability to see at night of course you already found that one out. Those are the powers all keepers have. I have unique powers as well belonging only to me. Like I can speak to people telepathically I can do the same thing with animals. You’d be amazed how smart animals are. Did you know cats and dogs really have plotted ways to take over the world? The problem they keep having is they can’t get along with one another long enough to come up with a plan on how to do it.” He busts out laughing pointing at my face “Oh my god if you could see your face right now your eyes look like they are going to pop out of your head. You are to fucking easy. I made the whole animal thing up.”

I bust out laughing I can’t help it. I can’t believe I fell for something so stupid but come on let’s examine the last week of my life. After the shit I’ve seen and heard why wouldn’t it be possible cats and dogs plotting to take over the world? I mean really think about it. When I eventually stop laughing I am holding my stomach with one hand while wiping tears from my face with the other. I know I’ve been laughing like a freaking hyena but I couldn’t help myself. I am being completely irrational but given the week I have suffered though I’m blaming it all on insanity. “You are crazy” I tell him still trying to control myself.

“No I’m not crazy I’m awesome and you Lana…are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” He says as he cups the side of my face tenderly while staring at me.
