Xavier and I follow the girl to Lucifers castle. I need Caleb and I need to bust Alex's face like nobody's business. We have been walking for about an hour and it's already getting dark. We walk through the woods on a path. I gave the girl a knife and pistol. I had told the other two what had happened and Xaviee want happy.
"What's your name?" I ask the girl.
"Cassie." The girl says. Cassie. I trust her and she must trust me sense I just saved her life. "There aren't many people here that are good, or want goodness." She want goodness I can tell from her facial expression. "K do. And I hate being traped here." Xavier glaces over at me.
"Come with us, Cassie. I can go home and if I don't I will give you a bead from my bracelet and you wish yourself the earth." She starts laughing and crying.
"Really?!"
"Really." Cassie hugs me.
"O never had anyone who would do nice things for me like that, Thankyou!" I smile.
"You're welcome."
We take off walking again and I feel so empty inside, but I don't know why. I keep looking behind me. There's something following us, I can feel it. I keep walking. I hold a knife against my wrist so that the thing following us wont see it, and then I could pull my move once it shows it's self. All I want is to get Caleb and Sam and get out of here untill I get a bid strong army. My stomach keeps making me feel sick. There a big blow from the wind and I smell it. Blood. Human blood. Vampires are around and there on person I know that's a vampire. Alex. How would humans get down here? I remembering reading books about how humans get to Hell. It was said that: a guy demon would go th earth and get himself a ladie, bring her to Hell and eat or drink her blood. The wind blows stronger. The blood is close, the vampire is close. I'm ready to fight, even if it's Alex. There the sound of sticks breaking. Xavier stops and Cassie does too. I turn around and a figure steps out onto the path. There's blood dripping of of it's hands and as the figure looks up, I also look at it. There's the eyes of a redish brown and dark brown hair. Alex. Whoop there it is. Alex looks at me and grins. That can't be good. Xavier gets close to me.
"I see you traded your father already." Alex says.
"I didn't trade him because I never was on his side... Like you are." I say. Alex walks close up to me so if I reach my hand out I could touch him. He has a smile across his face, why does he smile like that?
"And your not crying since I traded you?" Alex. Alex wouldn't say that no matter what, he doesn't even kill humans he kills animals if anything. I take another knife out with my left hand and go to stab Alex. No it's not Alex. The hair starts turning orangish-redish. Lucifer. Lucifer grabs my arm. I take my other hand and stab him in the side. Lucifer stumbles back and I take my knives back. There's black blood on the life I stabbed him with.
"Where is Alex?"
"That fricken bastard? Thats for me to know, princess, not you." My anger rises. I don't want to turn into a wolf, not now, I want to fight with my weapons. More figures step onto the path. "You should becareful, Melanie Lucifer."
"Why? Because of who I trust and say?" He nods. "Well, you know what? It's got to suck to suck. Where the hell is my brother?!"
"I thought he was with you."
"Nope, I herd he was in- your the one who threw him in jail! You dumb ass!"
"Come with me, Melanie. You can help me rule Hell with your mother and I and you could get married to your prince." Married? I'm sixteen not eighteen! He must be high from some kind of drug or something. But if he wants me to go with him, he's got to make me a deal.
"Only if Cassie, Xavier, Sam, Alex, and my brother get to go back home safely on earth." Lucifers eyes grow with excitement. "Of corse! I will even let you watch them go home." Xavier pulls me toward him.
"You can't do this, Mel." Xavier says. His voice is hoarse like he's been crying bit he hasn't. I wrap my arms around Xavier.
"Im protecting you guys, I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me." I whisper.
"Mel, I will come after you." I shake my head. "Listen, your room, there's a ruby on a chain, you smash it and you'll remember everything." Remeber what? There's a hand on my shoulder. Xavier and I break apart.
"Come, daughter, we'll get them home." I walk ahead of every one else along with my father. Did I make the right choice? Could my father not be so bad? I could help him be a better person but not good, I will change Hell.
We make it the the castle. Guards bring Caleb and Sam out. Where is Alex? He need to go home also. My heart starts beating fast and Caleb walks over to me and wraps his arms around me. We stay like this for a long time. Is this the last time Caleb and I will see each other? I Would give him my wish bracelet, but I'm afraid that he wpuldmspwish himself here and get himself killed. The portal in my house... I will have to wish it away.
"Did Xavier tell you about the ruby?" Caleb asks. I pull back a little so I can look at him.
"What am I supposed to remember?" I ask.
"Your past, you stopped ageing at sixteen but you have been alive for thirty-six years."
"Are you ready?" Lucifer asked. I kiss Caleb and he goes and waits. Alex walks over to me and I hug him.
"Keep Caleb safe." I say.
"I will." Alex says. I'm so happy he finally came. He goes and waits with Caleb. I walk over to Sam and wraps my arms around him.
"Sam, make sure they don't come after me and please keep them safe." I say.
"I can't promise, but I will promise to keep them safe." I back up and look at him.
"Thankyou." He also goes and waits with every one and Xavier walks with him then Cassie wraps her long arms around me.
"I will help build an army, and break the damn ruby." Cassie says. Ruby. She knows about it also. She kisses me then goes and waits with every one else. She just kissed me on the lips, not weired or anything.A guard opens a portal. Xavier never said "bye" to me.
"Xavier!" I call out. I run over to Xavier and he turns around. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him. He kisses me back then he says, "Just remember to break it. And I have always loved you, Mel." Then they all go through the portal. I take my bracelet out and hold a bead and close my eyes. I wish that the portal in my under ground house vanishes. Then I open my eyes. They're gone all of them. Someone puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry, Mel, you did the right choice, and you will be married soon." Lucifer said. The portal closes and Lucifer leads me into the castle. It's also red.
"Father, you need more color in Hell, everything is as red as my hair." I say.
"You have beautiful long red hair and hazle eyes."
"I know."
"You shall meet your date!" My father leads me down a hall that had lots of doors, the he stops and opens a door. "You should get ready I'll send some one in here to help you. Your boy is coming in here to meet you." Lucifer grins. That can't be good. Lucifer shuts the door and leaves me in my room. Xavier is my boy and he's not here. Ruby. I need to find the ruby. I rush over to the desk with a mirror on it. I open the top drawer and there's a purple ruby sitting in it. I go to grab it and my bedroom door opens. I slam the drawer shut and sit on the chair. A women comes in, I would be able to pick her out of a crowd of people, my mother.
"Melanie." My mother breathes.
"Mother." I say.
"Listen, there is a lot to explain. I need you to act everything out, even your new husband, go along with what's going on and we'll get out of here together." My mom opens the closet and grabs a long dark green dress. "Come, you must get ready, my dear." I get up and take off my gear and weapons and put them in the closet. My mom washes me up and helps me into the dress. The neck goes down to a V at the chest so that most of my chest is showing. My mom opens the drawer grabs the ruby and hands it to me. "Smash it." The door opens. My mom shakes her head and puts the ruby around my neck. A tall young man comes through the doorway, he has black hair and dark eyes, almost black. My mom hugs me and whispers, "Don't let him take your dress of, keep Xavier in mind and smash the ruby tonight, but come and get me first. You'll have lots of questions." My mom leaves the room leaving the guy and I alone... I sit on my bed and look at the floor. This is very awkward...
"Hi, I'm, Vanex. Your boyfriend." Ha, that's a good way to tell someone your dating.
"I'm Melanie." I say. "So... What do you want to do...?"
"Your father wanted me to come up here and..."
"And?"
"To love you... He wants grandchildren." Vanex grins. Oh god. Xavier, Xavier, Xavier. Vanex walks over to me and sits next to me. There's a stabbing feeling through out my whole body, don't look into his eyes. I look up and see Vanex eyes. Jesus Christ! Vanex grabs my rubby. "Where'd you get this?"
"A friend..." I get up and open my door. "It's late, it's also my first night here, come back tomorrow and we can do what you want..." Vanex gets up and walks out of my room.
"Goodnight, Princess."
"Goodnight." I shut and lock my door. Finally! I rip my ruby off and throw it onto the ground... It shatters.
*********************************
Xavier and I are fighting side by side in a war. Hell against Heaven. I load my cross bow and shot at angels. Xavier had told me that he has angel blood, and I promised not to tell, because my father would kill him if he knew. I'm so happy that Xavier and I look like humansmthatn anything else, some creatures look really odd. The angels, in fact, look like humans, taller humans with different features. Caleb runs ahead shooting a bow and arrow and Xavier stays where he is and fights with a sword.
They're angels falling out of the sky, but this one that's falling isn't full grown. If it keeps falling its go to land on me. I drop my cross bow and catch the angel. It's a baby, a human baby. Why would the angels have human babies? Xavier is fighting with and angel as I hold the baby, it's not hurt nor is it crying, it's smiling and looking up at me. Rate then and there, I know that there's going to be an addition to the family. There's a bell sound and the angels retreat to heaven. Xavier looks over at me in shock.
"What is that? Is that-?" He begins.
"A human baby, our baby, now." I say. Xavier grins and takes the baby. "It's clearly a girl!" I take the baby back.
"You're all blood!"
"We should go home." Xavier and I start walking and Caleb is a little behind. Xavier live in my castle with my family and I, and he sleeps in my room with me.
We get home and I go rate up to my room and lay my baby on the bed. I grab my wish bracelet out of my boot and hold a bead between my figures and close my eyes. I wish that I had a lot of baby clothes and diapers. I open my eyes and there's stacks and stacks of baby clothes and diapers. I out a diaper on the baby and some pink warm pajamas. She needs a name... I pick the baby up and cradle her in my arms. My door opens and my father and mother walk in then freezes.
"Is that a baby human?" My mother asks. I nod.
"She was about to die, and I saved her. She's my baby now." I say.
"What's her name?" My father asks.
"War." I say. Her name makes sence, because I saved her from war and we were in a war. My father smiles.
"It's a wonderful name, Melanie."
"Thankyou."
"You and Xaviee can't go to war anymore, you have a child to take care of." I nod. "Goodnight, Mel."
"Goodnight, father." Then my parents leave the room.
I'm on my knees and tied to a post. I hear Xavier's and Caleb's scream. Hellion are holding my family And friends back. I look up and see my daughter, War, getting held by my bestfriend, Cassie. My daughter is one years old. It takes humans a while to grow in Hell she should be three rate now if we were humans, but shes the size and the age of a one year old. War is screaming, also. Tears poor down her face. I'm going to die.
"People of Hell, the princess was found to have a child with an angel!" A creature says. They think that my daughter was born from an angel and I. "On the count of three, I will chop her head off!" Cassie takes War and brings her away, that are the only ones not being held back, because know one thought my daughter would be here. I look at Caleb, then my parents, and my eyes stop onto Xavier. "One! Two! Three!"
****************************************
I gasp and all back onto my bed. I haven't been away for sixteen years the maxim would be eight. I need War and I need my parents, at leat my mother. That's why my father would let every one go and be safe, it was for me, and he wants to show Hell that they aren't stronger than me. And to let them see mr breathe in Hell again. My father is my father, he cares. I need to find him or some one.
I get up to my feet and take off out of my room down the hall. Where would they be? It's late, but my father never sleeps. There's a guard at the end of the hall and I run to him and he sees me, and he looks worried.
"Pincess, is everything alright?" The guard asks.
"Yeah, do you know where my father?" I ask.
"Hes in the room at the very end of the hall."
"Okay, Thankyou!" ai turn around and take off running toward the room. Something grabs my arm. I get pulled into a room, a dark room. Someones lips brush against mine. I push the person away and the lights go on. Vanex. Vanex grabs my arm and pulls me into him. "Let me go!"
"You don't need Xavier, you have me." Vanex says. I punch Vanex and push him away. I kick down the door and see my father running down the hall towards me.
"Father!" I say. "We need to talk." My father nods and brings me into my room. He sits me on the bes and locks the door. "Where's War?"
"She's in her room sleeping." My father says. I calm down a little.
"I'm making a portal so Xavier can come back!"
"Okay, but they will all have to hide in the castle." My father makes a portal on the wall and you can see my under ground house with my friends and brother sitting in the living room. They all look up and smile and run through. My father closes. "Go to and empty room, all of you." I wait till every one leaves. Now I'm alone with Xavier in my room. I wrap my arms around Xavier's neck and kiss him.
"Our daughter." I moan.
"War? She's safe, want to see her?" Xavier asks. I nod. Xavier and I walk down the hall. "She misses you."
"How old is she?"
"Five." Xavier stops and opens a door and we go into the room. Its pink and has blue butterflies everywheres. There's a little girl laying on a bed watching TV. War. War looks up at me and tears start to run down her face. War gets to her feet and her eyes light up.
"Mommy!" War shrieks. War run and then jumps onto me and I catch her. She's small and light. War has orange dark and bright blue eyes. "Where have you been?!" before I can answer, Xavier does.
"Your mother and I will talk to you tomorrow, War. But rate now you need to get to sleep." Xavier says. War slides down me and leads me to her bed. She crawls up onto her bed and I tuck her in, she plants a kiss on my right cheek. Then Xavier brings me to my room. My bedroom door is shut and locked.
