The Children of Death, Book Five, The Battle of Sin and Virtue

Ezra

I didn't remember much before I fell asleep. I had been so weary and tired...My thoughts had been so fuzzy.

I dreamed I was in the realm of Delirium again.

"Delirium!"I called out. She wasn't there.

"Where are you?"I asked, confused.

She appeared, floating upside down in front of my eyes.
"Heyyy."She smiled.

"Is this... goodbye?"I asked. I remembered being saved...had I been..? Or was it a hallucination?

"Well, I never really leave, Ezra. But I guess... this is goodbye."Delirium sighed.

"Oh..."I looked down.

"And... you won't be able to remember me."Delirium finally said.

"What?"

"You were one of my favorites."Shes smiled, and then everything went black.

I woke up with a long groan, the pain was unbearable, I couldn't remember my dream, but I had one... and I also felt like I had empty spaces in my memory, spaces I couldn't fill with anything...
I looked around, I was in... a cabin... the Stolas Cabin! I recognised it!

Suddenly, someone embraced me.

"Don't run out like that again..."She whispered into my ear.

"Ellisse..?"I wondered, waiting for my vision to fix itself, "O-oh,Loona..? Wh-what happened?"I groggily asked.

"We... got attacked. BY YOUR STUPID SISTER, ALLYSSA! SHE BLEW UP OUR MAIN WALL!"Erik yelled.

"I'mmm also his sister!"I heard Ellisse's voice, she was sitting next to me, drinking something from a mug.
I hugged her, I hugged her tightly, "I... I missed you... I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU, FOR- FOR-"I broke down into tears.
"Don't do it again, dummy..."Ellisse chuckled, her voice cracking a bit as she shed a tear.

"Aw. How sweet. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE!"Aella yelled.
"Don't mind her, she's peeved."Loona rolled her eyes. I tried to clear my mind for a second, hot chocolate...
"I smell hot chocolate."I blurted.

"Oh, yeah, I'm drinking it!"Ellisse smiled.
"It's... the middle of the summer..?"I said.
"It's... sort of like a toned-down version of Hellfire."Erik told me.

"We should head out!"Loona stood up, so did Ellisse, then Aella, then Erik. I stood up, too, my legs a bit wobbly. "One of my legs are weak..?"I muttered.

"It was, like, completely shattered, dude. We gave you hot chocolate in your sleep." Erik answered, opening the tent for us. We all walked out.

   The entire camp buzzed around, preparing weapons and trying to fix up our last layer of protection from the angels. I saw angels above us, trying to get through the magical force field. I stuck my tongue out at them. Jade ran by, wearing full-on hunting gear and orange sunglasses, "THIS MEANS WARRRR!"They yelled.

"Yeah, they've been dressed like my stepdad since the attack." Loona laughed.
"Beatriz is training new campers how to fight, she's telling them this is a "practice battle." And they believe her!" Erik snorted.

"Poor kids..."Loona mumbled.

      We walked by the statue of a kid that had been there on my first day of camp, I never knew the dude, I never knew who he was, but he must have been brave... he got his own statue! And then, I noticed, it was being taken down.

"Woah, why are they taking it down?" I asked.

"Uh..."Erik muttered, "He's...sorta been... erm- Revived by Lucifer?"
