The Beautiful and Divine

Chapter Nineteen: Done For You

Qaphsiel Erebus's P.O.V

I finish my night routine and curl up in bed with Harry to sleep. Talking coming from the hallway catches my interest, making me lean up to hear better. It sounds like Edward and or Marcel are having a conversation about a family named 'Black'. Why does that name sound so familiar to me, I feel like I've heard it before. Ezekiel, Ezekiel last name was Black, that's why it sounds recognizable.

Why would they be talking about Ezek though, I didn't think they knew him. Folding the blankets off of myself, I get up to walk over to see what's going on. Entering the hallway, I see Edward and Marcel standing there only the youngest's shirt is unbuttoned. Like he is revealing something to the oldest, getting closer I see what he sees. There is a family crest on the back of Marcel's shoulder and neck, the name 'Black' is written above.

Zek couldn't have done it given he's in a different world, so who did? Stepping next to Ed, I get a clearer and more detailed look at the shield. It's not just a crest, it is a brand, for it was curved into Marc's skin not tattooed.

I can only imagine what that feels like, "Jade who do you think inflicted this upon my brother?" Ward asks turning to me.

"I know who it isn't, Ezekiel is the third brother, and he's not here in this world. That scratches off one of the possibilities, and Andy Sixx is too young to be capable. So it leaves only two options, Andy Biersack or Andy Black." I explain looking into the oldest's rich green eyes.

"What do you mean Ezekiel is in another world?" Edward questions, "It would take far to long to even begin to explain." I answer.

"I wouldn't mind it taking a long time to explain, I need time wrap my head around it how can he be in a different world?" Ward sarcastically says, "I'm not making it up." I growl.

"I'll only believe it once I see it." The eldest states, "You won't be able to see it for yourself just trust me." I reply.

"The thing is I've only just met you, how can I possibly trust you?" The adult speaks,"By the looks of it, Edward you don't have much of a choice do you." I say.

"The only way you can maybe see it is if you fall asleep holding my hand." I trial, "How do you know that's going to even work?" Ed says.

"I don't this is by trial and error. Do you have any better ideas bud?" I snap, "Testy much?" Ward holds his hands up.

"Do I look to be in a gaming mood right now?" I snarl, "No I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm mad about my baby brother, that's the reason I'm acting out." The brother admits.

"It's fine, I have a different reason." I reply, "Don't worry I won't bother you with it." I finish.

Both me and Edward come to an agreement to sleep holding hands, while Marcel stays with Harry. I crawl into bed with him, taking hold of his hand once he to settles in. Closing my eyes I try to relax, I suggest to Ward the same thing. We both lay on our backs, with our eyes closed allowing ourselves to slip into unconscious.

-L.O.T.B World-

My eyes open, looking around the hut that I'm also natural with. Edward isn't with me though, where could he be? Scanning the room thoroughly, I finally notice Ezekiel, who is curled up and sleeping on a chair. What happened how did I get here, I was trapped in a cell with three girls inside of a prison. We were starting to escape, Atropos was getting away before she was killed.
