SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 31

CHAPTER 31

I am sitting on the couch in the library Case has his arm around me holding me tight against his body. Harris, Summer, Cain, Lisa along with a few other Keepers and the whole Angel’s council are all discussing the best way to handle the news we received from the Lark. I hear their voices all around me I’m trying my best to block out what their saying but I’m not having much luck with it. My limbs have gone numb and I’m having a hard time swallowing it feels like I have a rock is lodged in my throat.     

“What do you mean we're going to have to get her out of the Keeper World?” Harris yells at one of the Angels.

“She has to leave" the Angel replies. "We can't take the chance of another war with the demons. You both should have thought about what you were doing before you hid Lana and let her grow up on earth. There’s always consequence's for your actions. Instead of trusting us when she was born you both chose to let everyone believe your daughter had died during childbirth. Because of your actions, she was raised on earth. She was never purified as a baby she walks with the sins of humans. We can't put our world or all the Keepers who live here in danger.”

Case comes off the couch “are you fucking crazy” he yells at the Angel named Michael. This is the safest place Lana can be. “There’s no way she’s leaving. I'm sure if you asked you'll see that all the Keepers here are willing to fight to make sure she is safe.”

Summer walks over next to Case wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him “It's alright son don't worry Lana's not going anywhere.” I look watching as he slips both his arms around Summer hugging her tight. She loves him like he's her son, and Case loves Summer like a mother. It makes me wonder if today when she asked me about mine and his relationship if she hadn’t been more worried about him than she had about me. Why do I feel jealous of Case and Summer's relationship? Fuck I’m losing my mind. I know she loves me and Case both she would never put his feelings before mine or vise, versa the little voice in the back of my mind raises it’s ugly little head telling me “this wouldn't be happening to me now if when I had been born, they had kept me like real parents are supposed to.” I shut the thought down as soon as it pops in my head. I know they did what they had to do at the time to make sure I stayed safe. I’m just stressing out and it’s bringing out my vulnerabilities fuck I hate this shit. I stand up “excuse me, I think I need to lie down.”

I'm sure they are all wondering how I could possibly consider wanting to sleep with all this shit going on but I need to be away from everyone so I can think. Summer let’s go of Case and is standing in front of me before I even manage to take my first step she pulls me into her arms hugging me tight to her chest of course that only makes me feel guilty for the thoughts I was only thinking moments ago. Right now my emotions are all over the fucking place. Hugging summer back tears run down my face.

“Are you alright?” Summer whispers.

“I really need to lie down right now.”

“Don’t worry nothing’s going to happen to you. I would die before I let anyone hurt you. Do you hear me? Now go lie down and get some rest sweetheart.” Summer says giving me one last squeeze before releasing me from her arms.

I leave the room heading towards my bedroom Case catches up with me taking my hand into his we walk down the long hallway without speaking. Once we reach my room I take a tank top from my drawer and go to the bathroom to change. I slip my shirt over my head then step out of my pants. I stare at myself in the mirror standing there in my panties and nothing else.I appear to be the same person I had been a year ago, but I wasn't. Now I’m a World Keeper and the Princess to the throne who has more powers than I know what to do with and evidently I still have more powers I have yet to learn; which is making me a target to every fucking demon in the world, along with anyone else that wants to take my powers from me.

Slipping the tank top over my head, I pull it down my belly it meets right at the top of my thong panties. I reach up taking the clip out of my hair letting it fall down my back. I run my fingers through its thick mess getting out a few tangles. After a minute, I give up and go back to the bedroom. Case is lying on the bed. He has his shoes kicked off. They lay in the floor at the foot of the bed. He pulls the blankets back for me. I crawl in the bed and under the covers I hold the covers up asking Case to join me. He slides under the blankets with me but never offers to remove his clothes. He pulls me into his arms, and I go willingly. Needing the comfort he is offering. My head is on his chest my hand lying over his heart. He is holding me tight every now and then he places soft kisses on top of my head.
