SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 42

CHAPTER 42

 Dominick is sitting in the living room floor with my parents when I blink in. “What’s wrong with them?” I asked looking down at my parents. They are unconscious and both have been beaten badly their eyes are swollen shut my mom’s clothes are gone. Dominick has covered her body. He has a rag wiping my dad’s face. Picking up the extra rag, I wet it from the bowl of water that is sitting on the floor and wipe my mom’s face. They never move I can feel myself starting to get sick.

What if they are dying, they are humans not Keepers they weren’t supposed to be kidnapped by Lucifer and held prisoner and beaten by demons. With my mom’s clothes gone, I worry about what had been done to her other than just being beat. Using my mind, I try to talk with them and get nothing. Then I try to get them to open their eyes still nothing. I’ve finally found something I can’t do. Something my powers won’t help. “God what do we do?” I question I notice Dominick doesn’t speak. He continues to look at my dad with worry on his face.

“What happened at the warehouse?” he finally asked after a few minutes passes.

I blew the place up and killed the demons. Lucifer went back to Hell I think. Really, I'm not sure about him.  I left. I can tell you this much, he is really pissed off. He was screaming I heard that much. I'm sure he'll need time to lick his wounds before we see him again.”

“Yeah I think it will be a while before we hear from Lucifer again.” Dominick states as he wet the wash cloth again and places it on my dad’s forehead.  

“We’re going to have to do something about my parents. There’s no way they can stay here where he can get them again. I'm sure I can do the same thing with them that Harris and Summer did with me. It's going to be harder because I'm going to have to send them somewhere else and change their names plus give them a whole new life. But I'll worry about all that later right now we just have to make sure they’re going to live. You have any idea as to what's wrong with them?”

“From what I can tell the demons have poisoned them. The way you were poisoned the first time we met. The only thing is their human, and I don't know if they can be helped the way you were. Your body is different from theirs. You have Angel blood in you, they don’t." Dominick watched as the tears run down my face.
“You think they did more to my mom than just beat and poison her?” I asked even though I was afraid of what his answer would be.

“I think it’s possible Lana.”

The tears that had been falling turned into full blown crying. Sitting down on the couch, I take my mom’s unconscious body in my arms and hug her telling her how sorry I am. Knowing that if it had not been for me this never would have happened to them. Holding my mom I cried until I had nothing left in me. Anger starts building toward Harris and Summer. They should have protected them after I left. That anger died a fast death because I knew there was no way Harris or Summer would have left them unprotected if they had known this would have happened to them. How were they supposed to know that I would have turned into some kind of freak whom Lucifer himself would come up from Hell to retrieve.

“Lana it's time you let the King and Queen know what’s going on. If anyone knows what to do for your parents, it will be them. Plus I’m sure their worried sick about you."

I know he is right. Harris and Summer will know what to do. They can bring Sage here to help. He is great. Without a doubt if anything could be done to save my parents Sage can do it. “Your right Dom it's time. I know Sage will know if there’s anything that can be done for my mom and dad.” Not waiting for Dominick to reply I let the vail lift knowing it wouldn't take long for Harris and Summer to materialize.

Within seconds, Harris and Summer appear. They both pull me in a hug. My arms went around them needing there comfort. They both hold me in a family hug for a long time before releasing me. Crying I start telling them that my mom and dad need their help. While I am trying to explain what had happened I heard my name called turning around, I see Case coming toward me, Harris and Summer stand on either side of me. When Case reaches me he takes my face in his hands and kisses me. There is so much emotion in the kiss. I can actually feel everything Case has gone through for the past three days. He brake’s the kiss and pulls me into a hug that almost cuts my breath off. He questions me on what had happened and at the same time he is telling me how scared he had been. How he thought I was gone forever. How he had wanted to die.

“I'm fine Case,” I tell him trying to break away. Lucky for me Lisa moves in saving me from having to push Case away. "Do you mind letting us see our friend too?" Lisa speaks in a sarcastic voice. Case looks like he wants to push Lisa and Cain away. However, Harris doesn’t give him the chance. He put his arm around Case, saying something to him, I never made out what because again, I was being hugged. This time it is by Lisa and Cain, I hug them back and tell them I had missed them and I meant it. Lisa and Cain had become really good friends to me.

When they move away Case rushes back to my side with his arms around me. “Harris can you help them?  Lucifer had them and their hurt really bad I can't make them wake up.” Harris called Sage’s name and he appears in the living room with in seconds.

“They need our help Sage demons have had them. You'll have to check inside and see what has been done. Their human so you need to be careful their bodies are weak.” Harris conveys.

“Yes, your majesty” Sage turns to my parents and closes his eyes.

“What is he doing?” I asked.

“He's using his mind to look into their bodies to see what the demons have done to them” Harris said.

I looked at Harris and noticed Dominick for the first time since everyone had gotten here. He stared me in the eyes and the look on his face spoke volumes. He is hurt, by seeing Case kiss me, and his arms around me now. Yet another person I've hurt, breaking eye contact I turn my face away from his I know I will have to find time to try to explain things to him later but right now I need to worry about my parents. Summer sees the look on Dominick’s face. She looks from me to Dominick. I can tell she knows something is going on between us I will have to talk to her too. God I hate how she can read people!
