Post Finale (#Wattys2016)

The Return of Evil

A/N: I'm back you guys! Sorry for the wait on chapter 18. I had a severe case of writer's block. Hopefully, I'm cured of the horrible disease that authors get. So with that here's Chapter 18

Nora POV:

Patch took me to Ariel's last week and she was astonished by how much the baby had grown. I knew that the baby inside of me was growing fast, but I didn't think that she would already be halfway developed. My stomach was looking like I was in my second trimester.

The week before that, Vee came home early from her honeymoon after Gavin was murdered in Paris. Now, Scott is looking after her and me. Strange enough is that Patch is disappearing once a day for a maximum of seven hours a day. I see him when I wake up and when I go to bed.

I've already asked Vee and Scott if they knew anything about Patch's disappearances, but they turned the other way and said no. I came to the conclusion that they were hiding something and that they weren't going to tell me.

Vee and I were sitting on the couch when the buzzer to the hotel intercom sounded. Vee and I looked at each other and then at the intercom. Scott had went off with Patch leaving us two girls to a girls day.

Vee helped me get up and led me to the bedroom, "Stay here, I'll get the intercom. Just in case, since Patch would skin me alive if anything happened to you or his child on my watch." I rolled my eyes in a whatever kind of way.

Vee walked to the door and said, "You have got to be kidding me!" I walked out of the bedroom.

I gave her a confused look, 'What?"

She gave me her full attention, "My father is out there," She turned towards the door and was about to answer it before she turned back towards me, "Did I tell you to come out of your bedroom missy?"

I groaned, "Oh come on Vee! You're not my mom."

Vee mocked me and put a finger to her lips. She opened the door and greeted her biological father, "Hey."

Xavier nodded and looked past her at me. His stare was fixed on my stomach and my face. It was as if he was trying to read me. I heard a ringing in my ears. I knew that he was trying to tear down my mental walls.

I rose back in retaliation and began to pluck through his mind. I set off nuclear bombs inside his brain. The baby's powers rose up in defense and joined my own. The baby made the nuclear bombs grow bigger with each one. After each mushroom cloud Xavier began to teeter. I then realized that Xavier wasn't consciously standing in front of us.

I recognized this mindset of a mind. It was a possessed mind. Xavier's mind was damaged. The mind operating Xavier's body was that of a body. A mind so horrible, that the name of the person gave me nightmares. The horror this person put me through.

The baby must've known who it was, because it sent out a wave of terror throughout my body that it brought me to my knees. Vee caught on to what was happening and she ran to my side. She grabbed my shoulders, "Babe, are you okay? What's happening?"

I felt tears stream down my face as the baby kicked against me, "That's not Xavier."

"What?" Vee questioned.

"That isn't your dad," I coughed. The baby's raw power flowed throughout my body and I screamed. I screamed a word. A name. A shout I knew would carry to the man the name belonged to and that he would hear me.

Patch POV:

I was in the kitchen of the two story ranch house, ripping out the cabinets and the counters to replace them with updated cabinets and counters that looked almost identical. Scott was painting the new back porch. The two of us had gotten a lot of the repairs done. It was a major fixer-upper, but that was the way Nora liked it. Fixing up the outcasts. I guess that's why we've been together this long.

I had just taken out the sink when I heard a cry scream in my head. I dropped hard to my knees and clutched the sides of my head. I knew the cry, but her voice was so amplified that it was like she was screaming directly in my ear.

Scott ran into the kitchen and said, "Vee just called for me through the neck-" He stopped talking when he saw me kneeling clutching my ears. "Are you okay? What's going on?"

I screamed, or thought I had said, "Get to Nora now! I can't do anything. The baby amplified her summoning. I can't move. Not at the moment. Go. Now!"

Scott vanished in thin air. Damn.... This baby is going to be death of Nora and I... I can't wait when to find out what the gender of this baby is. God, I'm acting just like Vee and Nora...

The screaming in my ears was finally subsiding and I was able to get to my feet. I shrugged my leather jacket on and my jeeps keys. I sped down the long driveway of my soon to be home and made my way to the hotel where Nora and Vee were.

Vee POV:

I placed Nora behind me while my dad- well Dante banged against an invisible wall at the door. I glanced back at Nora, "Why can't he come in?"

She held her hands up in an I don't know gesture. She opened her mouth to speak and then the glass balcony doors shattered. Xavier-Dante jumped up onto the balcony.

The transition confused me and I stalled. I recovered, but I recovered too late. Dante slammed me into the nearest wall with just a flick of his wrist. I hit my head against the wall and slid to my knees and looked on dazed as the scene before me unfolded.

Nora was backed into the kitchen sink and Dante was three feet away from her and was looking at her stomach. Nora reached behind her and grabbed a sharp kitchen knife and held it before.

Dante laughed, "You think that toothpick will save you? Hell, your over-sized Nephilim best friend can't even protect you. It's a shame I killed Scott. I believe he'd do a better job than her...." He paused, "That gives me an idea."

Dante turned his back on Nora and turned his sights towards me. All I could think of was Scott, and Nora's baby. If I die, that baby will have no super cool aunt and will hardly have a guardian angel, because he'll be consumed with grief.

Nora snuck up behind Dante and drove the knife into his frame and jerked it upwards with the ease of an expert. No doubt, Patch taught her. She grunted as she pulled it out. Dante laughed and flicked his wrists. Nora was sent flying into the kitchen counter. She moaned, and he stalked towards her, "That Nora, was a bad move. Especially on your part. You could've hurt your poor princess. The supposed weapon of the archangels. The destruction of all demons. You know, if I got my hands on the weapon, the demons would have a fighting chance. The tides have turned in the angels' favor, but not for long. The angelic weapon, if raised right, could be a weapon of mass destruction. Lucifer would raise her personally. That's the best a loving mother would want for her baby girl. To be destined for greatness."

Nora grimaced and held her stomach. She glared at Dante and gave the most horrifying expression, I have ever seen. If looks could kill, hers would have killed a normal man twenty times over, "Go to HELL, Dante. I will never let you take Emma away from me. Not now. Not ever. The only way you'll get her is through Patch, Vee, Scott, and me."

Dante got down on her level. He placed his fingers under her chin, "Scott has been dead for three and a half years. And Patch. How's that working out for you? The future groom is nowhere to be seen. And you two girls are all alone with a demon. How quaint."

Nora locked eyes with him. She breathed in and let out a blood curling scream. As she screamed, blood began falling from her eyes. All of a sudden, a large boom sounded and that was all I heard before darkness clouded my vision.

A/N: Cliff-hanger! Don't kill me please. Chapter 19 will be out soon and you will see what happens next in this scene. Thank you everyone who has liked and reviewed on my story. It means so much to me.
