Apocalypse Love

Sojun

Michael POV
  Something wasn't right, I could no longer feel Athena. I popped over to where I could last feel here and the horrible sight hit my eyes. I feel my heart stop as I run over to the four stakes in the ground where four bodies are burned and see Baldwin, Ariel Meads. I walked over to the fourth body, kneeling down and touching it. Images flashed in my head of Cordelia attacking her, placing her body at the stake and burning her a live. "Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed as the heartache hit me. I cling to my chest as tears run down my face and I can't take it. I begin to sob "It's over." Cordelia voice spoke. "We know who you are" She stated. I slowly turn to her "Your allies are all dead...you failed" she added. "I've already proven to you that I can defy death. I'm just gonna bring her back" I tell her through my horses voice. "And when I do, Athena will stand by me and watch as we watch you die" I tell her. "You can certainly go to hell, but you won't find her there" Cordelia tells me. "What have you done?" I asked, knitting my brows together. "Her soul is hidden by a spell only I can break. You'll never see her again" Cordelia shakes her head. I couldn't take it, I fall onto my knees and begin to sob harder. "You're alone" she tells me. "I'm never alone" I choked out as I lifted my head. "I have my father" I hissed. "And where is he now? Why did he let this happen?" She asked me as she appoarched, kneeling down to my face. "You don't have to follow this path your father laid out for you. You can write your own destiny and you can still turn away" Cordelia tells me. "There's humanity in you. I see it" she owly stood up and extended her hand to me. "If you come with me, maybe we can find it together?" She suggested to me. I slowly reach out and take her hand and standing to my feet. Anger boils in my blood as I jerk her forward, squeezing her hand tightly. "Somehow, someway, I am gonna bring her back" I tell her, my voice dripping with venom. "And then I'm gonna kill every last one of you" I threatened darkly before shoving her away before leaving her where she stood.
  I stopped in the middle of the woods, picking up a rock. I knew my father would know how to help, how to bring her back. I bend down and draw a huge circle around me. "I'm not going any further" I spoke. "Father, tell me what to do and I'll do it" I say to him. A waited for a moment before continuing to draw a pentagram. "I'm not leaving this circle until you talk to me" I stated. "They're gone, the warlocks. Ms.Meads and Athena. Burned alive at the stake by the witches" I explained to him. I let out a soft sob as the images of Athena come back to my head. Her screams so painful. "Until there was nothing left...but ash and smoke." I finished the pentagram and stepped in the middle. "You tell me what to do, or leave me here to die" I tossed the rock down onto the ground. I waited there for what felt like forever. "What do you want from me?! What am I supposed to do!" I screamed at my father. "Fuck am I supposed to do?" I kick at the dirt in anger.
  One year Later
  Athena POV
    My eyes flutter open as I suck in much needed air. "Athena?" I hear the familiar voice. "Athena? Thank you father" it spoke. My vision becomes clearer and I see Michaels face. "M-Michael?" I stuttered out. "Hey, princess" he smiled, kneeling down to me and helping me sit up. I wrapped my arms around him tightly as I clung to him. His arms go around me and I smell his rose scent and I feel like I'm home. "Michael..." I begin to sob into his neck. "It's alright, you're safe" he whispered to me.  "What happened?" I asked him. "Cordelia and her witches hid you away from me, but they didn't plan on him" Michael nodded to the corner of the room. I look over his shoulder to see James Patrick March standing there. I knit my brows together. Michael stood and extended his hand to me and I take it as he helped me off the ground. "Dad?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. "Yes, darling" he smiled as he appoarched me. "H-how am I back?" I asked them both. "Cordelia was under the impression that you were only a witch, with no living parents to unbreak the spell that binding your mind and soul" Michael informed me. "So, that left her the one who cast the spell to be able to unbreak it" Michael explained. "So, after I killed each and everyone of them I had James brought back from hell to be able to sense your magic. And bring you back" he explained. "How long has it been?" I asked him, seeing his hair is a little longer and he's acting a little older. "A little over a year" Michael informed me. "A...A Year?" I stuttered out. Cordelia was going to burn Miriam.  "Ms.Meads?" I asked Michael. "There's no time to explain..." He shakes his head. "I needed to see you, for you to see me before I do this" he tells me. I knit my brows together "Do what?" I asked him. "Just know, when this is all over. I will come for you Athena" he whispered to me. "Just know, I've done this to protect you. Because I will never let Cordelia ever hurt you again" he stated. "Michael? What are you doing?" I asked him. He placed his hand on my forehead when suddenly everything went black.
   My eyes fluttered open. "Hey lady! Excuse me?" I hear a man ask. The sun is bright and hot "Why are you laying on my lawn?" He asked me. I slowly sit up and look to see a short man standing in front of me. "What?" I asked him. "Damn, you look like hell...You okay? What's your name?" He asked me. I shake my head. I couldn't remember anything, or anybody. What was I doing? Where was I? "I think...I think my name is Athena" I tell him. "Think? What you don't know?" He asked as I stood to my feet. "What do you remember?" He asked me. I shake my head "Nothing ...I don't remember anything at all" I confessed.
