Without Him..

68

I can't get Michael off my mind. One second he's alive the next he isn't. I must have looked deep in thought because Kingston comes and sits by me.

"Hey, you know you'll see him again. He's in a better place now."

I look at Kingston and half smile. He's right. With the Moon God locked away he is in a better place.

I yawn and tell Kingston I'm going to sleep. I head to bed and slowly drift to sleep.

In my dream I see Michael smiling at me and waving but suddenly the dream takes a terrible turn. He's standing at the gate separating Michael from the Moon God.

The moon God reaches his hand out and touches Michael.

I scream in horror. "MICHAEL, WATCH OUT!!!!!"

But it's too late Michael has been touched. Michael falls to the ground screaming holding his head. I try to run to him but I can't move.

Then Michael opens his eyes smiles at me. Not his brotherly one but a very evil one. The Moon God smiles at me.

"You take from me and I take from you. Your brother now has a piece of my evil mind in his. He is my son so now I have made him the Moon God.

I look back at Michael and see he seems to be fighting within himself and he isn't winning.

"Don't fight my son. Embrace what gift I've given you."

My dream is fading and the last thing I hear is Michael's voice calling me.
"Help me Delilah. I need you."

I wake up screaming and Kingston runs into my room.

I look at Kingston in terror.
"Michael needs help and I don't think I can help him."

Kingston looks at me deep in thought.

"We have to try Delilah. If he becomes dangerous we'll never be able to stop him."

We head downstairs meeting up with Jordan and the pack in the front yard. Standing quietly, I realize something. This is my family and Michael is part of this family.

Kingston raises his fist.
"For Michael."
The pack raises their fist in agreement and in high spirit yell.
"FOR MICHAEL!!"
