Miracle

Pt. 45

"Hello dear how are you I... I'm just calling to let you know I'm sorry..I know I've not been the perfect mother to you I should had told you about everything sooner. Maybe then we would have had more time together but all the time in the world wouldn't be enough for me to tell you just how much I love you. I hope one day you'll forgive me for what I put you through I was trying to protect you. You've brought complete joy to my life... happiness to my heart I love you Lily never doubt or forget that..." Lily's mom says stumbling over her words Lily could could tell her mother was crying. She stands from her seat worried running her fingers through her hair " I've all ready forgiven you mom where is this all coming from so suddenly. I'm sorry I disappeared for so long I'll explain everything" her mom was acting completely out of her normal self and it was making her on edge Alex stands seeing Lily's worried expression " No dear there's no need to explain anything I love you". Alex mouthed was everything ok to Lily she mouths back she doesn't know " I love you to" she said back the phone was ripped out of Joy's hands Alistair specks into the phone " Aww so sweet don't you just love a sad ending?" that's the last thing Lily hears before the line goes dead " Mom!? Mom!!? Are you there?!?" she yells into the phone. Jinx quickly pays the bill as Alex leads Lily outside Max shovels 3 pieces of meat into his mouth before following behind them when they all get outside Lily puts her phone into her pocket grabbing Jinx shoulder " I need you to make a portal right now!" Jinx pushes Lily hand off backing away slightly squinting her eyebrows together " And why do I need to do that?" Lily tighten her hands into fists glaring at Jinx with all the rage in the the world her mother could be dead right now and she was wasting time " My mom is in danger Alistair has her I need to get there please Jinx". Jinx shakes her head walking away from the group it was clear to her Lily was letting her emotions get the best of her at the moment they couldn't just go without being prepared they would all be murdered on spot " Lily would you take a minute to think it's obvious this is a trap to get you there you'll be walking right into it" Jinx says with her back to them Lily follows behind her " I don't care it's my mother I have to be there she's everything to me she could be dead right now". Jinx stops walking her back to Lily and she arms crossed she wasn't planning on changing her mind " Maybe we could compromise or something we could go in like a hour or something at that point he will probably be gone and you can check on your mom" Max says softly trying to ease the tension between them " No it could be to late by then...please Jinx this is my family you have to understand!?". Jinx turns looking at Lily's watery eyes..no Jinx would never understand what it meant to be a family she never had one she was born on the hard streets of hell cold and alone. Everyday of her life she has to fight just to survive a normal life was never a option for her. Looking into Lily eyes she could see how important this person was to she it made Jinx heart hurt and throat tighten " Fine.." she whispered full of hesitation before pulling Lily into a near by alleyway holding her hand up she opens a portal. Lily was just about to step through when Jinx stops her with a hand on her shoulder " But I'm coming to we're all in this together now and...I want to prepare you Alistair is a cruel demon and well... He may be your father but what I'm saying is hope for the best but don't be surprised at seeing the worst when you walk through this portal" she whispers and Lily nods her head closing her eyes tightly as the all walk through the portal. Eyes still tightly shut the first thing that hits Lily senses isn't the cool breeze or the fresh smell of grass its the thick burning smell of smoke " I'm so sorry Lily" Alex whispers as she finally opens her eyes sees her family home ablaze with flames she chokes back the sobs trying to her face expressionless " Maybe I can fix it will a spell or..or" Max starts to say but stops talking when he notices Lily shaking her head " No there is no point now" It was clear to her that there was know way her mother made it out alive. Walking closer to the house looking up as a burnt picture slowly flows through the air she reaches out grabbing it looking over the picture it was a old photo of Lily and her mother on her first day of Kindergarten. A smile spreads across her lips before it quickly fades the sadness she once felt was now replaced with red hot anger the flames on the house seem to grow as her anger does she slides the photo into her pants pocket. Lily turns looking at them Jinx give her a look of pity Lily hands in tight fists eyes bright red " I'm going to fucking end him".
