I Am Reapers Daughter

21: Ceres: Reunited

I finished the marks. Now I need someone to do the spell. And that someone is Star I'll have to convince her to do this spell.

I went back home, to where they were hiding. When I arrived there, Blake was sitting on the couch tied up.

"It's her!" Blake struggled. "She's the one that's been attacking me."

I forgot he doesn't know who I am. At least not dress like this.

"Ahem," my father looked at me. I sighed and took off the mask, and everything else.

"Ceres!" Blake looked shocked. "Why?!"

"To stop you," I said. "I love you, so I'm willing to go at extreme measures to stop you. And believe, it's going to cost me."

"Ah," he looked away.

I walked past them and to the room. I picked Michael up, making sure to cover him up so that Blake won't see him. I walked out and stood in front of Blake.

"I did go to extreme measures," I said. "And all to keep you from going mad. I saved your mother and Kitty. But I knew that wouldn't be enough. So I made a deal with someone. And in return, I got someone back." I bend down and set Michael down. I removed the blanket. "He's not a zombie."

"Blake," Michael giggled and climbed on the couch with him. "Why are you tie up?" Michael tug on the rope around Blake. "You do a bad thing."

"You're alive," Blake tried to get free. I untie him, he grabbed Michael and hugged him. "How?" He looked at me.

"She won't tell us," my father said. "Maybe you can convince her to tell you."

"Not a chance," I smiled. "Now I need to talk to Star."

"She's in her room with Kitty," David said.

"Thank, and don't ask why I need her," I said. "Not going to tell you."

I walked toward her room. She was knelt down in front of Kitty, injecting something into her cut off the tail.

"Ouch," Kitty winced.

"When you finish, I need to talk to you Star," I said.

"Ceres," she smiled. "Sure, just two more injections."

I waited. After Star finished, I sat on the bed. Kitty went to her room.

"So what's up?" Star sat next to me.

I handed her a paper. She looked at it.

"Ceres," she tensed. "This isn't a witch spell. It must be ancient, probably a dangerous spell."

"It is," I said. "The witch queen, the first one. She sealed that spell up along with others. That is the sealed. I need you to break the seal, and order to unleash those spells. But only you will have them. And if you want, you can't teach them to others. But these spells will be restricted only to you. And don't worry, I have already drawn a protected barrier. All I need is for you to say that spell."

"Ceres," Star sighed. "This looks dangerous."

"I know," I said. "But some of those spells can be used for good."

"Alright I'll do it," Star said. "But when?"

"In 24 hours," I said. "I want this chaos to be over."

Star nodded.

"I'll give you a call," I said and went back into the living room. Michael was with Blake still. They seemed to be catching up.

I smiled and walked away.

"You're leaving again?" My mother stopped me. By blocking my way. "Ceres you're only 15, you can't be going out there on your own."

"Mother," I sighed. "Lately I haven't been myself. I don't feel 15; I feel like I have grown."

"Ceres, I just want you to be safe," she said.

"I won't be safe until this is all over," I said. "Until we are back at our home. So mother, please don't try to stop me."

"She won't go alone," I looked back.

"Blake," I sighed.

"I'll go with her," he said and set Michael down. "Please take care of him."

"I will," my mother said. "Take care of my daughter."

"Yes ma'am," Blake walked out first. I follow behind.

"So are you all mister nice guy, now," I walk past him. "Did I change you?"

"Maybe," he said. "You didn't stop it on time."

"Yes, I have," I said. "I stopped everyone from going over to the next state. They can't get out of this town, not without getting turn into ashes. The only ones who can leave are humans. All creatures are to stay here. At least those trapped."

"You become a great reaper," he said. "Are you sure that's what you're choosing?"

"Yes," I said. "I'm very good at it."

"So you'll be taking souls too?" He asked.

"I'm not sure," I said. "I guess I will."

He pushed me up against the wall.

"This all feels like a horrible dream," he said. "My father lied to me, Michael is alive, and I'm half angel."

"Ah," I smiled. "It's not a dream."

He looked at me and kissed me. I kissed him back.

"This isn't the right time to be kissing," I said.

"Right," pull away. We walked out to the street.

"What was your deal?" He asked.

"Not telling you," I said. "It's best not to say. Where there is death, there will always be death. Keep that in mind."

"Okay," Blake frowned.

I smiled kept walking. As I did, I thought of what will happen to me. After I finished this mission, I don't want to make anyone suffer. But I will have to.

This war will stop. I'll make sure of it. No more innocent lives will perish.

"My father wants to make you his child producer," he said. "For you to bare his kids."

"That won't happen," I said. "Your father will be dead by then."

"Oh," I smile at him. "Let me take him down."

"Sure," I said.

I slipped my mask and wig on I can't afford to let that man I'm here. "Why the getup?" Blake asked.

"So that your father won't find me," I said. "At least not yet. In 24 hours, things will get crazy. So could you take me to your father? After that go home to Michael."

"Why?" Blake asked.

"This state will be a battleground between good and evil," I said.

I merely said and flew up.

Some will suffer because of me. But it will be worth it.

Right?
