Moonlit Path

Glimpse of the Underworld

"Scott..." Chris whispered. "Sage... Why? How?" Chris looked at me.

"Don't get mad at her." Scott blurted out. "She made the right decision on getting us back here." Scott looked at me and smiled.

"But, how? Richard said it's impossible to get you and André back without Sage doing the ritual." Chris backed up into a wall and leaned on it.

"I brought them back." Silas said as he appeared behind Scott.

Chris stood up straight and pulled me as he stepped in front of me, "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Babe, he's not going to hurt me." I tried walking towards Silas but Chris stopped me.

"What the fuck is going on?" Chris yelled. We heard André cry and I ran upstairs to the nursery.

"Aww, is my baby hungry?" I smiled as I picked him up from his crib and we sat down on the recliner. "You're never going to be far away from mommy." I closed my eyes as André fed, trying to drown out the shouting that's coming from downstairs. Once André was fed, I took him downstairs and handed him to Scott.

"They have been at it for a bit now." Scott said as we watched Silas and Chris from the kitchen.

"I need to get your brother home. What did you need, by the way?" I asked Scott.

"Don't worry about it. Silas took care of it." he smiled.

"Are you sure?" I smiled back and he nodded.

"Well, go take my brother home before Silas does anything to him." Scott said. I gave André a kiss on the forehead and promised that I will be back soon and then gave Scott a hug. I walked out to the backyard where Chris and Silas are.

"Christopher Robert Evans, let's go." I shouted as I walked towards them.

"Go back inside Mikayla." Chris said.

"NO!" I reached for his hand but he pushed me away instead and I landed on the ground hitting my head on a planter.

"ELIZABETH!" I heard Silas say as he ran to me. "Sweet, sweet, girl, come here." he helped me up and checked my head. When he was sure that I didn't have any injuries, I saw the change in him. He turned around and charged at Chris causing him to slam Chris on a wall. "You do not hurt my daughter." Silas hissed.

"Papa, no." I mumbled as I tried walking towards them.

"You could have killed her." Silas put a hand on Christopher's neck.

"Papa! Stop. p-please." I reached him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Papa, please. I love him." I begged.

Silas took a deep breath and let go of Chris. I ran towards him and helped him up.

"Hurt my daughter again and I will make sure that your soul will suffer." Silas said before disappearing.

"Babe, are you okay?" I asked but Chris ignored me.

"Let's go home." he demanded and I followed.

"Christopher, can we talk?" I said as I followed him inside the house from the garage.

"What is there to talk about?" He said not looking back or stopping.

"You know what needs to be talked about." I snapped as we got to the kitchen.

"You've made your decision and right now I'm deciding that there's nothing to talk about." He turned around and smiled sarcastically before opening the fridge to get bottled water.

"So, we're going to do this?" I asked as I clenched my fist.

"But we're not doing anything." He said as he walked past me and headed to the stairs.
