Crossbreed - Tronnor AU

Chapter Nine

C O N N O R

Someone poked my shoulder and woke me up. I was having such a nice dream who dared to wake me u- oh. I looked up and Troye was staring at my face, smiling. It was a nice view to woke up to, not gonna lie. His blue eyes had that happy spark that I saw when I agreed to go with him. He had the amulet I gave to him on his wrist, it gave me good memories.

My mom was holding something on her hand. I was just ten, I couldn't really figure out what it was. It looked like some kind of rock, but it was shining. The blue rock was hanging on a brown string and the sun made it sparkly.
"Connor, I want you to have this and protect it with your own life. And when you grow up, I want you to give this to someone who you really care about. Someone you want to be safe. When you find them, you'll take this knife" she placed a small knife on my hand. "And you'll cut it. The crystal will only be cut if that person is your true soulmate." She put it around my neck and I held it with my small hands.
"Can't I just give it to you mom?" I said and she smiled, kissing my head.
"No sweetie. Wait until you grow up, you'll know what I mean." She ruffled my hair and stood up, taking my father's hand and leaving my bedroom. I stood there, looking at the light blue crystal.

I was quite chocked when the crystal broke in half. I knew Troye for only two weeks, he couldn't be my soulmate. Maybe my mom lied to me, I wouldn't be surprised, she absolutely pushed me off when I came out. I knew it wasn't just that but she got really mad. I knew when she got mad, I could see it, anyone could.

"Connor?" The sweet Australian accent spoke up and woke me from my daydream. "Are you crying?" I touched my cheeks and they were wet. I realized that I have been crying. Thinking about my mom was a hard thing for me.
"Don't worry, it's nothing." I left the at and noticed we were in a dessert. Some mountains could be seen from the distance and the sun was burning hot. There wasn't a single cloud on the sky and Troye was running around, hands on the air and eyes closed. He seemed so happy, so free. Free from his mom, his home, everything. I didn't realize, but I was smiling. The view was amazing and I was happy. Happy to be here, happy to finally escape my past and happy because of the beautiful boy in front of me. The beautiful boy I could never have. I looked at Kayla and she had the same expression as me, of someone who was truly happy for someone else. She had this huge grin on her face and she noticed me staring. The look in her face changed, but to better. She pointed to Troye and mouthed "go get him." I didn't understand what she meant. I couldn't just go there and make him fall in love with me. I noticed she was getting closer to me, and then she sat down.
"I see how you look at him Connor. I know things upstairs are hard. I know everyone is against you but I'm trying to help Connor." She placed her hand on my back. I looked at her, confused.
"That's not what you told me that day on the coffee shop." She looked down at her fingers.
"I saw you giving the amulet to Troye. I saw you cutting it. I know you think he's not the one but, trust me, you two, together, have the most powerful thing in this world, but you're too scared to admit it." She looked at me again and I just stood there, in shock.

"Connor, honey, I want you to take care of yourself. I know it's hard right now but things will get better. You'll meet someone one day, and together you two will be able to do things you thought were impossible. He's going to change your life, to save you. I want you to be alive and well when that happens, I'm going to be watching you."

I remember hearing this when I was about to go to sleep. It was a woman's voice, not my mom's, it was more... Angelic. I remember my mom telling me stories of magic creatures up above us, higher than the sky, they worked with God, and made sure everything was fine on earth. I remember I was on earth when I heard the voice. Me and my parents were kicked out of our homes. My mom was kicked out from heaven, and my dad, hell. That's why I'm like this. I'm a crossbreed between a demon and an angel. I'm one of the most powerful creatures out there, everyone was terrified of me. When we got here, they lost their memory. They forgot about their past, about the Angels and demons they cared so much. They forgot what I was, so it was okay for me. But I came out and suddenly their worlds came crashing down. My dad yelled at me, breaking glass with his mind, and my mom, she tried to calm him down, but earned a slap across the face. She got so mad all the lights started flickering and I was so scared I ran away. I grabbed my stuff and ran as fast as possible, away from my family.
