Soul Shards

Chapter 20

Alex's POV:
Abby seemed to be very afraid this last week, I don't blame her. But she was getting more and more distant. It started off fine she wanted comfort she wanted to be around us. But now she just always wants to be alone and I don't think that's a good idea. If Azazel really is coming for us and is going to kill one of us then she is going to regret not being with us. Ross sighed beside me. He could tell as well, it kinda seemed like he was also feeling her pain. I heard that soul partners feel the same pain but I never knew it was actually true. "Why is Abby being so depressing," he said placing his hand under is chin and lent on it.
"I was just wondering the same thing. She seems to be getting distant as well, I don't like it."
"Neither do I. I know how she is feeling so how do you think I feel. I know that she is upset and scared but she won't let me help her."

Abby walked up the stairs form the arena, she was helping Sjin be more confident with fire. She looked at me and I knew she was killing herself inside. Abby walked into the kitchen and a loud thud followed. Ross and I shot up and Duncan came running out of his room. "What's going on," he asked as we ran into the kitchen.
"Abby?" I asked cautiously just in case Azazel had gotten to her.
"She isn't moving!" Ross ran up and felt her pulse he sighed knowing it was still there.
"What the hell is happening!?" Duncan asked distressed and confused. Ross picked Abby up and took her into their room and placed her down on the bed. "She is burning up," he said placing the back of his hand on her forehead. "Grab a damp towel," I instructed Duncan he did just that. Abby started stirring like you do if you are having a bad dream. "Abby!" Ross shook her trying desperately to wake her up. "Ross the best thing we can do is leave her to sort it out whatever it is." Then Ross's eyes rolled back in his head and he dropped. "Bloody hell why is everyone passing out!" Duncan said quite loudly and annoyed as he walked back in. I trying so hard to be calm picked Ross up and placed him beside Abby. I was thinking he maybe past out because she did. Or he was feeling her pain and it made him pass out.

Duncan had gone and got everyone else hoping someone would have an answer. "I think Ross passed out because he knew what was happening to Abby, they do have a very profound bond," Lewis said rubbing his chin as if he had a beard. I looked to the two on the bed. Ross's head was twitching and Abby was tossing and turning. Then the first sign of any sort of thing going on was Ross's face scrunched up like he was in pain and blood started coming out of his mouth, but we left it as we knew nothing could be done till they woke up. Abby subconsciously grabbed ahold of his hand. "What the fuck is going on inside their heads right now," Kim said, just as confused as the rest of us. Then it occurred to me, why hadn't it before. "I don't think it's Azazel," I said.
"Who then?" Most of them said at the same time.
"Lilith," I said no emotion in my voice. I had none left to give. I had little faith that they were going to make it out alive, at least one of them anyway. "What does she want with us."
"Its not you guys it's Abby and I she wants us dead to destroy our souls Misha's last remaining children."
"But Ross looks like the one getting hurt," Sjin pointed out.
"Killing Ross means destroying Abby's stone and apart of her making her more vulnerable and easier to persuade," I said coldly. Lilith was going to kill my best friend and leave a massive hole inside my sister that could never be repaired. 

Abby's POV:
I walked into the kitchen like normal but suddenly something didn't feel right and I hit the floor hard. I appeared in a fully white room, no chair, no chains, nothing keeping me down; just a white room. "Hello Abby or should I say Renee," a girl who looked about 16 in a white dress said. "Who?" I said.
"Oh don't you know your real name Renee. Didn't your daddy tell you."
"Misha," I said quietly under my breath.
"Oh don't you know sweetie. Misha is your father. But your mother is your mother and the father you knew as yours isn't really. He was put there to protect you and your brother."
"Wait Misha's other children died. Apparently I'm older than his twins."
"No your not. Once you and your brother were born the stories were changed so we couldn't find you. But it looks like I found you."
"Tell me all about what you know."
"It's very rare for a Oderrus to have a soul crystal matching Misha's. It's only happened twice. Your mother was the last one. She obviously wanted children so that happened, but there came consequences such as the three powers giving them to your soul partner and me finding you. Misha originally called you Renee and your brother Raiden. But to keep you safe it was changed to Abby and Alex. And that reminds me." She clicked her fingers and Ross appeared beside me just as confused. "Who are you and what is going on."
"My name is Lilith. Renee's daddy may have mentioned me before."
"Renee, daddy?" Ross looked at me.
"I will explain once we get out but I'm Renee and Misha is my real father not just I have the soul of his child."
"Ok then." Lilith clicked her fingers again and Ross was sat in a chair and I was unable to move suddenly. "Now it's time to kill the one dearest to you make you feel the pain I did. Make Misha show his ugly face." Lilith held her hand out and he seemed to be doing something to Ross that was causing him pain but it wasn't enough to make him yell. Then she closed her fist and he let out a yell. His screams took me back to when Chris was killed. "Let him go you bitch!" I said through gritted teeth like Alex always did. She stopped and looked at me. "And let you roam and kill Azazel my son. I don't think so honey," Lilith closed her fist again and Ross started spitting blood. I tired so hard to move my hand to his so he could use my powers. It was so hard but I was managing it was like I had a new found strength. I grabbed a hold of his hand and his head flung back and it was like I fixed everything. "What?" Lilith stumbled back in confusion. "Y-you shouldn't be able to do that."
"What did I do," I looked at Ross and he was panting and spitting blood. "Only Misha is supposed to be able to control life. And I control death."
"Looks like he isn't the only one."
"You win this time child. But a battle is coming, a big one. Not a war that comes later when you are broken and weak, I will come for you and destroy all of you. The battle will be nicer than the war, no one but me and my children will survive that, trust me."

My eyes opened and I saw a blurry person standing over me and I felt the bed rise slightly and saw Ross being helped up but I was still coming to. "Abby," I heard a familiar voice say faintly.
"Abby?! Are you alright," I was a little bit more to it now and realised it was Alex. "What happened Ross started spitting blood and you grabbed a hold of his hand and he seemed fine?" Alex asked me.
"You know how Misha said we had the souls of his children," I said using Alex to stand up  and noticing everyone in the room. "Yeah."
"Well we are his children. And I could control life, I healed Ross from near death." I heard gasps and shocked faces so Alex helped me out. I didn't want to be asked questions I wanted to call Misha and get his ass down here to explain why he kept it a secret from Alex and I and why he never called us by our real names.
