The Devil and I: The Battle Within.

He's Back.

Morgan finally moved to hold me as we both fell to our knees. We were clearly both in shock. I fought back the tears thinking about Harry in bed so unaware of what was happening. So unaware to what this note meant for his family. The bracelet lay there twinkling teasing us, after five years of peace it looked like the hell would start again. I didn't know if I could handle it again.
"Morgan please check on Harry."
He let me go and went to Harry's room. I read the note again. It only had three words but those three words sent chills down my spine, "Elizabeth, I'm back." Morgan carried Harry, who was half asleep, into our bedroom knowing I needed to see my boy to make me gather myself. I put the note on the bed and took Harry from Morgan, I held him closer than ever before. For now he was safe. Morgan picked up the note and bracelet and took them downstairs away from us, at that moment that was his was of protecting us but it was too late I had seen them I had read the note. I put Harry in my bed and closed the window. Five years ago Morgan installed locks on all the windows but He still got in. I had saw his body, I even put that bracelet on his wrist. It was impossible but it had happened, David was back and I didn't know what his next move would be. I watched Harry sleeping, I brushed his hair out of his face and smiled. As long as i was breathing noone would hurt my little boy. Noone. Morgan came back upstairs looking like a lost child, I hugged him so hard he had to respond.
"What did you do with the note?"
"I burnt it."
"Why?"
"You know why!"
"But I could have seen if it really was David who left it!"
I could try with bracelet but that had a long and twisted past it may not show me what I wanted clearly. But I would look into it tomorrow for now I am going to watch my baby sleep and make sure he is safe.
"Morgan can you please tell Newt what just happened."
"Is that wise?"
"He is involved! Lauren is having a baby!"
"Exactly! Do we need to worry them until it is certain this is David."
He was right. I had all this worry when I was pregnant I didn't want to put another woman through what I went through. But at the of the day Newt needed to know. Harry stirred and whispered,
"Mama?"
I hugged him and Morgan ruffled his hair. I loved my boy more than I loved anything in this world and I couldn't stand to think of anyone hurting him.
"Why am in your bed?"
"Mama just wanted you close."
He lay back down and looked as if he was going to fall back asleep, I was calm until Harry said,
"Who was that man?"
I looked at Morgan stunned, Morgan sat on the edge of the bed,
"What man?"
"He came into my bedroom, he said good night to me, wished me a happy birthday and left. He wasn't at the party though."
I was stunned I ran into Harry's room and turned the light on and checked everywhere David could hide. Morgan came in and found me looking in the wardrobe, he pulled me from behind and hugged me. We was moving in a state of shock but we was determined. I had never moved so quick in my life. He had been in here, he had spoke to my boy. Morgan sighed and grabbed me by my shoulders,
"He isn't here."
That night Myself and Harry slept while Morgan watched over us. I had a dreamless night. The next morning I got Harry dressed and made breakfast as if nothing had happened until I opened the cupboard where I kept the glasses and saw the bracelet.
"Mama are you okay?"
I turned and smiled at him,
"I'm fine Wolf."
I got him a glass and poured him a glass of milk and pushed the bracelet to the back of my mind. For now. Morgan came and sat next to Harry and kissed his head. After breakfast Morgan washed up as I stared at the bracelet, the last time I had been this close to it it was when I found out I was part Elizabeth after a deal made with an Angel and then I clasped it around David's dead wrist. I thought everything was buried with David. I was wrong. Oh God help us I was wrong.
"Why don't you take Wolf for a kick about in the garden?"
Morgan looked unsure.
"Go play with your son. You know he hates staying in all day."
He kissed my cheek and went into the living room I could hear him asking Harry if he wanted to go play and of course Harry got excited, rushed into the kitchen to put his shoes on and then bolted into the back garden with his dad. I took the bracelet in my hands and saw its past.
