The Awakening

Chapter 7

"No Eli is a snake, which is perfect to describe him since he is fucking Lucifer. Guys Lucifer as in the devil!" Chloe said throwing one of her tantrum again but this time I understood what she was angry about.

"I know Chloe but he's our best shot, there's apparently people after Levi. And if this turns around for the worst it's three of us against him." Aaron said leanings against the wall in Chloe's room where I was still lying in her bed.

She seems to be considering it for a while before she threw her hands in the air letting out a grunt before saying fine and marching out of the room. Aaron rolled his eyes at her but smiled when he saw me watching before walking over to the window and sitting on the sill. He pulled out a cigarette and snapped his finger making a flame appear on his index finger which he used to light the cigarette. When he was done he wiped the flame away with his thumb and took a strong pull of his cigarette then blew the smoke out of the window.

"Hey, I've been wondering. That day that you mentioned I had to awake someone, you had a particular person in mind who was it?" I said pushing myself into a sitting position in the bed.

The question seemed to catch him off guard for a few seconds before he went back stoic and threw the bud out the window. He walked over to the bedroom door making me think he was going to leave but he closed the door and I felt like something had slam down around the room.

"His name is Cian, he is my mundane brother. Well in better words he is my actual brother, it was him, Chloe and I for a while. But he wasn't able to summon his factor though we knew he had to have one. We gathered there's a high possibility if one sibling has a factor the other would have one as well. We were having a meeting when we were only prepubescent when we were attacked by a bunch of low life wizards. We fought them off but Cain didn't make it, he still had a pulse though so we forced his body into stasis so that he didn't die. Our only hope is that maybe if we were to awaken his factor that it would heal his wounds." He said not looking at me but I could see the dark shadow of grief cast over his face.

The story wasn't what I was expecting at all, it was like a sucker punch to my stomach that made my breath leave my body. I didn't know what to say either so we stayed in silence until Chloe threw open the door. She was about to throw another tantrum probably about the barrier that Aaron had put over the room. But she stopped when she saw our faces and felt the energy of the room.

"Ummm...well I'm not sure what's happening here, but Eli contacted me and we're meeting in one of the houses." She said making Aaron throw his head up at her. She just nodded her head and turned around walking out of the room.

What about what she said made them have that reaction? I really felt annoyed about how clueless I was when it came to this factor thing a lot. It really threw my life upside down, in going to be missing a day of school which I wasn't able to concentrate on yesterday because of my attack. In a matter of days everything changed and I didn't know how to cope with it, it was happening so fast.

Aaron stood up taking my attention with him, he stretched out his hand to me so I took it and he pulled me to my feet. When I stood up the air around me felt like it became rock hard then burst and I was standing in my room. I felt like the contents of my stomach was going to force its way back up my throat so I ran to the bathroom and hurled into the toilet. When I was done Aaron already had a glass of water for me to rinse my mouth and a handkerchief to wipe it with.

"It's a normal response to feel nauseous for your first few teleportations, it'll pass in a few minutes." he said then walked out of the bathroom making his way straight out of the room.

Before he left though he said that I should change into something that I could wear anywhere. I still wasn't sure why he and Chloe had become so serious when she mentioned that Eli wanted us to go to the houses. Like how much more vague could one person get, that could be a community or something figurative. I couldn't get my mind wrapped around what that meant, so I decided that it would be best to leave the god factor part of my life to Aaron and Chloe who actually knew what anything meant.
