Chapter 20:

(Ellie's POV)

After I left Harry, It only took a blink before I was suddenly back in the portal with my family. My mother was sat in the living room whilst my dad was talking to a few of his men in the joined back room behind her. They all looked worried as if they had discovered I disappeared. I knew I had a little longer to talk to them because they were both here but I still felt a little awkward now because it mean't that I would have been caught. I come back to the place I'd sworn I'd never return to.

My thoughts drifted to what would happen to me after I left my parents. Where would I end up? I knew there was an afterlife but I had no idea what to expect. I felt at peace knowing that I had no control.

"Ryan!" She shouted as she saw me to get his attention. The guards started disperse away to give us some privacy. 

"Where have you been? We have been looking for you everywhere." My dad exclaimed. She rushed over towards me to hug me tightly.

"I don't have a lot of time to explain" I replied as she turned to go back to the sofa.

"We feared the worst." She said sitting back down

"Helen." He mentioned as he came up to me to show my fading hands, looking at her for the next instructions.

"The brandy drawer now Ryan, back box in the bottom drawer." She instructed, following her every word as she stood up in shock, her gaze looking me up and down.

"What are you doing?" I asked watching my dad pick out a box in a hurry, taking out a glass bottle with a cork top. It looked rustic and something that's been there since the dawn of time, or something that's been handed down to them since then.

"Bringing you back." He spoke. Before I could even think about what that entailed, he threw the liquid at me making me squirm as the acidity from the liquid began spreading around my body that was my soul. The pain was like a a thousand knives being pushed into each place on my body as it worked its way around my body.

"De ortu mortuorum, lumen in ignis spiritus. Quod anima Christi resuscitati." My mum first spoke to my dad which they then both began chanting

"De ortu mortuorum, lumen in ignis spiritus. Quod anima Christi resuscitati." They both repeated. The spell was bringing my body back from its resting place. I knew this because the sudden pressure that the wind brought felt as if I was absorbing the weight of the world through my back, each body part that was burning was less painful until my whole body felt like it did before the incident with Tom.

The force however of my soul gaining back my body shoved my body to the floor. The weight of myself felt heavier than what I was expecting.

My hair was all over my face when I looked up to see their reaction, and let's just say what I saw wasn't great. My Dad couldn't have looked any angrier than he did right now with his hands on his hips and his face scorning me with his hurt betrayal. My Mum however was looking disappointed. Her face spoke more than her words ever could. I took a deep breath for the first time since I was with Harry ready to face the consequences of getting caught. I stood up looking at my hands and saw the dense reality of being stuck back in the astral plane.

I looked towards my parents and I could see the spell took a physical toll on them. They looked exhausted and drained but I could see the relief on their faces. I couldn't begin to imagine the fear of nearly losing a child, even if they were an adult. I was surprised I was here. I was always brought up that we could not resurrect the dead without another dying so I didn't understand how I was here.

"So, What did you do?" He asked crossing his arms, ready to start shouting. I looked around to see that the men were now forming at the doors, ready for me in case I tried to make a run for it.
