Ever 

After our deaths, things in our families changed a lot. The Evans and Nightingales finally realized that they should have let the love between Damen and me be, but it's too late now. I'm dead and Damen isn't with me. Even though, he believed he was going to die and meet me here, but with immortals, death is different. They don't come to heaven or go to hell, but instead get locked up in a cell in between, with nothing but darkness. Our families should've realized this, because now they're suffering without us and my little Christopher is suffering as well. 


After I gave birth and passed away, Damen gave Christopher up for adoption. I wouldn't have wanted that for him, because maybe the family that chooses him will never love him the same way that Damen and I would've loved him. I wanted to make a perfect family with Damen, but our dreams were destroyed because he was an immortal and I wasn't. We couldn't be together, broke the rules and now we're all paying the consequences. Our little Christopher will have to live a life without knowing who his real parents were.


Even though the Evans and Nightingales have finally recognized that that one rule they made was wrong, they will have to live the rest of their lives not knowing who their grandchild is. If this wouldn't have happened, we would all be a happy family. Christopher would be growing up, knowing his background and with both of his parents that would've been giving him unconditional love, but he was robbed of all of that. Just because of a stupid rule. The Evans have since then demanded that the rule be suspended and it no longer exists today, but now it's too late, isn't it? If anyone from my family ever finds out where Christopher is, I would ask for just one thing. I would ask for them to let him know that his parents loved each other till the very end. 


Damen

As i ended my life on the spot just to be with my lovely wife Ever I see a bright white light. But as soon as I get closer to that White light it all of a sudden starts to burn in the corners and manages to burn the entire light until all i see is pitch black. Nothing but darkness. Then a bright dark blackish/ red candle is lighten and i see myself in a dark cage in a dark place i don't even know where i am. My heart began to race as if it was a race car taking off for the finish line. I grab onto the bars of the cage and try to break the bars off of it, but it was no use not even my strength can break the cage open. I yell,

"Hello!? Can anyone help me!? Hello?!"

After many attempts i can feel my heart drop to the bottom of my stomach and have the sensation of crying. As soon as i drop to the floor of the cage on my knees an old fashion letter appears laying on the ground of the cage. I reach for it and open it and read what it has to say. I hopes it a way to escape this mess, maybe I got stuck in Limbo. i forgot what i meant until i rembered Limbo is when a person is violently killed and doesn't go to Heaven or Hell just stuck in the middle of no where in the world.


Dear Damen Evans,

You have realized you are in pitch black darkness in a cage with no one there to be with you. You have cheated on life Damen Evans so this is your punishment. Immortals are supposed to be like mortals which they live then they die as long as they can live. But for you, you have lived far too long now this is where your faith leads you. We didn't decide to lead you here but you lead yourself here...

                                        Sincerely, 

                                                 God's Angels

I drop the letter on ground and once again fall to my knees to the bottom of the cage crying. I hold onto the bars while my emotions run out of me. I wish I was never immortal...I wish I can be mortal like Ever and have a normal life with her and our baby Christopher. I yell as I cry knowing I will never escape this horrible scene I am facing. The flame of the candle dims out and I'm in pure darkness.
