Apocalypse Love

Halloween

I blink as tears flood my water line, remembering everything. My entire life flashing before me. I stare up at the man I've fell in love with, against all the odds life has thrown us I'm staring at him. "M-Michael..." I stuttered out. "Hello, Princess" he smirked. I shot up from the sofa and crash my body against his as I wrapped my arms around his neck and let out a sob. His arms tightly wrap around me, muffling my sobs that escaped my lips. "You're safe..." He whispered to me. "Why did you take my memories away?" I asked him. He pulled from me "Because I thought I lost you and I couldn't bare it..." He tells me. "So when I found you, I had to make sure you were completely untouchable from her" he explained. "Why not tell me?" I asked him. "You would have never agreed to it, You would've wanted to stay by my side and I couldn't risk you being hurt again" he touched my cheek softly. "Now you're back, and I can't imagine a new world without you by my side" he tells me. I couldn't be mad at him, I would've done the same for him in a heart beat. "I love you..." I confessed to him. "I love you more princess" he pressed his lips against mine and I waved my hand, causing his bedroom doors to burst opened. "Haven't lost my touch" I giggled before he suddenly whisked me up and carrying me towards the bedroom.
    I opened my eyes to see Michael sound asleep next to me. I couldn't help but smile to see how long his hair had gotten. At how much he's filled out, how much he's now a man. How things were so different now. He obviously wasn't the same Michael I knew before. "You're staring..." He spoke, causing me to blush. "I'm gazing..." I bite my bottom lip to keep myself from laughing. "It's romantic" I added. "It's creepy" he teased. "Shouldn't I, you know. Return to my room?" I suggested as I lie my head on his bare chest. "Why would you do that?" He asked me. "Because, memory or not. If Ms.Venable catches me in here. In your bed like this she will most likely try to kill me" I pointed out. He chuckled darkly "I have that handled, along with the rest of this outpost" he informed me. "What are you planning?" I asked him in wonder. "To murder everyone and take my girl and Meads far away from here" he smirked. "So, I wasn't dreaming. Miriam Meads is here?" I asked him. "I swear the witches killed her" I sigh. "Especially when you never--" he cut me off. "It's complicated, but know that Ms.Meads will live forever" he chuckled. I knit my brows together "Okay, but seriously..." I paused when it suddenly hit me. "Oh...no, Michael" I spoke. "What?" He asked me. "The witches..." I tell him. "They're dead by now" he stated. "No they're not... Michael" I shake my head. This caught his attention as he shot up from the bed. "They're here, in this outpost" I tell him. "Who?" He hissed out. "Mallory and Coco" I tell him. "Michael if they're a live and they didn't recognize me or you their under a spell and that means Cordelia is coming here" I tell him. He shot up from the bed and threw on his clothes before walking over to his laptop. I grabbed the sheets with me as I followed him to see him opening up a cryptic program and typing into it. "I need a way to kill them" he sigh. "Venom would do for those snakes..." I scoffed. Michael turned his head to me "What?" I shrugged my shoulders. "No...that's actually smart. Put it in the forbidden fruit for tomorrow Halloween party that Ms.Meads will tell Venable to do" Michael stated. "Ms.Meads?" I asked. Of course that woman will still do anything for him. "Do...I have to go?" I asked him. "No, you're going to stay in here. Until we leave. I can't risk the witches harming you" Michael stated as he finished and closed his laptop.  "I'm not as fragile as you think Michael" I say with a little harshness in my tone. He walked up to me, cupping my cheeks with his hands. "Okay, I'm more worried about you harming them now that your powers work" he corrected himself. "What time is it?" I asked him. "It's..." He looked at his watch. "8 am" he answered. Knock knock! I jumped and Michael placed a kiss on my forehead before walking out of the bedroom and closing the door behind him. "There you are! Athena Adams has escaped her chains and I'm guessing you had something to do with it" I hear Venable accuse him. "I don't like the way you are speaking to me Ms.Venable" he hissed out. "Maybe she broke free and left the outpost?" He then suggested. "Have you searched the entire outpost?" He then asked her. "Yes, she nowhere and nobody has seen her" Venable tells Michael. "Then that leaves the only option, she's left" Michael says. "We're having a Halloween party tonight, would you like to attend?" I hear her ask. "No, sadly I have a few things to do before then" he tells her. I didn't hear anymore speaking before Michael opened his bedroom back up. "She played into your hands well" I tease him. "I'm the Antichrist, don't they always?" He chuckled. I rolled my eyes. "So, after everyone's dead then we just leave?" I asked him. "Where do we even go?" I then asked. He stopped me by placing his finger on my lips. "No...just relax and leave everything to me" he stated.
   Michael handed me a beautiful gown as the night grew closer. I put it on as he sat at his laptop and begin typing away at his finale list. My hair is down and it falls gracefully down my back. I sit on the chair next to him, leaning against his arm when the door creeks open. "Ladies I'm a little busy right now formulating my selections" Michael tells them. behind us. "This won't take long" she stated. Michael closed his laptop and we both turned to Venable and Meads. "So, you two have been working together all this time" Venable shakes her head. "I knew you weren't dumb enough to leave the outpost" Venable smiled as if she was smarter than me. "What's this all about?" Michael asked. "We're making the selections now, Mr.Langdon" Venable ordered him. "And I'm afraid you two didn't make the cut" she added. Michael and I both burst into laughter at her words. "I'm sorry. I wanted to let you have your moment but, I just couldn't hold it in" I tell her. "You two think this is funny?" Venable asked us. "I think I'm impressed Ms.Venable" Michael tells her, tilting his head to the side. "I wasn't sure you had it in you" he added. I watched him as he slowly stood up. "You've passed the test" he tells her. "You're perfect for the Sanctuary" he added as he takes a step closer to her. "Ms.Mead" Venable ordered when suddenly Meads takes out a gun and I shot up and over to Michael.  "I wouldn't do that..." Michael warned her. Michael arched a brow as Meads raised the gun and pointed it at him. Her hand shook as I stood there, barley breathing while Meads pointed a gun at Michael. "Ms.Mead" Venable ordered with a hiss. Venable then turned to Meads who slowly begun to point the gun in Venables direction. Bang! Ms.Meads pulled the trigger, shooting Venable in the chest and I couldn't help but smile wickedly as her body fell onto the floor. "May I?" I asked Michael. "You may...Have your fun, princess" Michael kisses my lips before I walked over to Venable as she begins gasping for air. I kneel down next to her. "Damn...You really shouldn't have pissed me off" I click my tongue to the roof of my mouth. "Why did I do that?" Ms.Meads asked. "It's alright your were obeying commands, like you're programmed to do. My commands" Michael tells her.  I suddenly reached my hand inside Ms.Venabke chest and grabbed a hold of her best heart. "Funny...I guess you do have a heart" I tell her before ripping it from her chest. "Well...you did" I tossed it down before standing to my feet. "Did you enjoy executing the posion apple plan as much as we enjoyed coming up with it?" Michael asked her. "You wanted everyone dead?" Ms.Meads asked. "I've never been a fan of getting my hands dirty. Learned that from my father" he stated as I wiped my hands on a cloth. "Right Princess?" Michael asked. "Yes. It's always more fun to entice men and woman to dirty deeds" I spoke. "It confirms what I've always believed" Michael then went on. "Wh-what did you believe?" Ms.Meads stuttered out. "All people, giving the right pressures or stimulus, are evil motherfuckers" he informed Meads. "I'm just a m-machine?" Meads asked. "Don't...say that. You are much more than that" Michael tells her. "You are someone dear to us, someone from our childhood" Michael says. I appoarched her slowly before taking her hand. "The beautiful boy...and the Raven girl..." She whispered. "That's us..." I tell her. "Now, we need you Meads. We can't and won't do this without you" I tell her. She suddenly wrapped her arms around me tightly before Michael had joined the hug.
