Watching Over Our Nation

Chapter 12: Our last fight

Marlene's POV:

I'll be reunited with my love once more. She died, for me.

"Marlene sweety," Effie hugs me tightly. "Are you alright?"

"Of course she's alright," Lucifer snorts, with his evil smirk. "Her girlfriend is coming here! How could she be anything but happy?"

"Will you shut up?!" I yell at him. How can he think I'm happy about my girlfriend dying?

"I'm just saying," Lucifer gives me a half apologetic look, putting his hands up. "I just think you should see the positive side of this."

"Says you," Regulus retorts with a glare. "The biggest pessimist ever."

"I am no such thing!" Lucifer clasps his hands over his heart (if he even has one) in mock offense. "I just have dark humour!"

"Enough, Lucifer!" God comes between us. "Look, either of us has to go get Dorcas. Do you want to do that, and if not, can I trust you not to make a mess here?"

"Probably not," Lucifer smirks, shrugs mischievously and starts his way to receive 'Cas.

"Please don't start screaming when she gets here," Regulus mutters to me.

"Alright, Mr. Moody-as-hell." Of course, the moment she gets here, that promise is thrown in the wind and I storm up to her.

"MARLS!" The love of my life, - and death - pulls me in almost aggressively. "God, I missed you." She hugs me tightly and doesn't let go, breathes me in.

To be fair, I do the same.

"I love you," I whisper in her ear lightly. A shiver runs down her spine and she pulls back to look me in the eyes. "Damn, that's hot. I love you too."

We kiss, long, just like we used to. You always hear about those couples losing some of the passion in the relationship. Well, we never lost that passion: those mindblowing kisses that made everything else disappear.

"Ahem," an annoying cough mskes us stop. I want to curse whoever it was off to hell. "Are you okay Dorcas?" It's God asking this.

"I am great, thank you," she looks to me, questioning. "Who is this?"

"He is God. You've already met Lucifer, well, get ready to meet God now. He's pretty nice."

"Thank you, Marlene."

"And what's Regulus doing here?" She doesn't bother to lower her voice, so he winces slightly at her hateful tone. "What happened to him anyways?"

"He drowned," I answer. "You should really talk to him, he's changed a lot."

"How would you know for sure?"

"He died trying to destroy Voldemort, love." I give Regulus a small nod, it's the least I can do for him. Plus, I can tell she misses him too. She grieved for him so much when the news came out. "I've seen him here, reacting to everything that's happening out there, I know which side he's on."

Benjy and I explain the whole concept of watching the world to her and she gets her own mirror. Regulus is already watching, probably looking out for danger.

"There's a lot you need to know," I tell her. "Before you go and watch them all."

"Tell me about it!" Cassy now has an urgent and serious expression on her face. "Who killed you? Did I succeed?! Is there really a traitor?"

"It was Pettigrew," Regulus responds before anyone else gets the chance to.

"Regulus! I was going to tell her normally!"
