GUARDIAN|M.LANGDON

PART 21|CHANGE

I looked at them all, seems Behold and Madison had found out the same info I had

Cordelia speaks up "Eve, how did you find out?"

I breathe in
"he told me"

At this Madison scoffs "great, so we have to go through nearly getting sliced by ghosts in a murder house, and she just has to bat her eyelashes to get it out of him?"

I mean, she wasn't wrong

Cordelia speaks up "Madison, Behold, good work, but please leave us for now"

I stand up straight as they start to pass, but I didn't even realize how much I was trembling before I broke down to Cordelia

She held me close, She didn't even know why I was crying, but she was there for me
To be fair I didn't even know why I was crying myself

A couple minutes pass, and I've finally calmed down, as I look up to her again, I breathe in deep

"This is a mess"

She lets out a laugh, and she just hugs me, we stay there for a bit

"Cordelia... I'm his guardian angel"
I hadn't said the words out loud before, it still felt as weird as when I first figured it out

"But I don't hate it, I don't hate him"
I cried at this, this was why I was so upset, why I was so angry

Because even after everything, even after finding out what this means, I couldn't hate him

I couldn't

Cordelia said nothing as she held me, just providing comfort, safe to say I stayed there for a while

-TIME SKIP-

We sat down at the table, food presented everywhere as I went to go fill up my glass with more wine

I was sat by Cordelia, Mallory was a few seats away but that was okay, we all laugh and cheer as we sat our food

Unfortunately, the happiness doesn't last long

"How can you witches sit around here casually sipping wine, when people are going to die, there is an antichrist on the loose, trying to destroy the world"

The chatter begins to dim, we told everyone of our new realization, but not of... other occurrences

I was grateful cordelia didn't tell them of my connection to Michael, especially consider the fact that-

I wouldn't know what I'd have to do if the time came

Myrtle speaks up "yes, and let's not forget who aided in his ascension"

The tension begins to rise

"But know we know what he's capable of, Madison and I saw firsthand the people he hurt"

A chill goes through my spine, of course he's hurt people, I witnessed it twice myself, but he looked so scared, I wonder if he did it to the others out of joy? Did he feel pleasure in killing them?

On second thoughts, I don't want to know

The next sentence made my tense up, I found it increasingly difficult to keep my cool

"Micheal was born evil"

Was he though? Was Behold right about that? Because all the times I had seen him, all the times I had felt his aura, he wasn't evil

He was just scared

I think Cordelia notices it, and he holds my hand as behold speaks, and I calm down

"We will stop him, but tonight we are celebrating"

We will stop him

I knew what that meant, he'd have to die, but what of my priorities? What would come first?

Surely If he wanted to end the world, I would have to fight him? I couldn't stand back and let this happen,

I couldn't protect him if he wanted to kill them people I loved, if he wanted to work for Lucifers name

I left the table early that night

-TIME SKIP-

I jolt up, sweat running down my forehead as I breathe deeply

A nightmare
No, a vision

I was walking down the concrete path, when I hear voices shouting out from a house

The next I see two people walking out, an older woman, and a young boy

She was yelling at him for something, he didn't seem to be yelling in anger,  just sadness

I could feel his aura, upset, hopeless, scared
But good

The older woman walks back into the house, and I can feel his emotions change, anger, annoyance
Evil

This is where it starts
Change it

I couldn't remember what is was,  the vision left as quickly as it came, but it would be something I'd remember when the time came

Only two words rang through my head
"Change it"

Change what I wondered? I'd have to wait and see, I heard commotion downstairs and I looked at the time, it was late for the sisters to be asleep

But not for the rest

I got up and made my way down, seeing another warlock in the living room

"I was killed by a woman"
Cordelia looks to Myrtle "what woman?"

I interrupt them before they can continue
"Mrs mead, she's micheals... carer, that would be my guess, black hair dark lip?" I inquire at him, and he nods

I look at Cordelia and say nothing, simply nodding my head as I walk back upstairs to my room

-TIME SKIP-
I got ready as soon as I woke up, putting on a white outfit, after I had gone to my room, I had heard whispers and had a realization

That Mallory performed her 7th wonder, and curiosity overcame me as I went to go find her, I see her sitting in her room

"Mal!" I lunged to her into a hug as we both fell into the bed

"You did your seventh wonder? That's amazing" I beamed at her as we started to sit back up

"You revived John Henry Moore?"' she looks at me and nods

"I wouldn't exactly say revive, I just undid it" she laughs slightly and I tilt my head

She undid them? She means

"Like you changed the past?"

She nods again, I go to ask her more questions but I hear Cordelia shout from downstairs

"Girls, we need you"
