Light and Darkness (Vanriser fanfic)

Chapter 18

Evan's POV:

All of the guys were still out there and I was starting to get nervous. ,,What is bothering you, Evan?" Elpis asked me putting her hand on my shoulder. ,,Um.. I just hope they are all save.'' I answered. Elpis looked at me with a warming smile. ,,Don't worry. I believe in them and I know that you do too. They are going to be ok." Elpis calmed me. I nodded and looked at unconscious Delilah. She was still laying on the couch not moving a muscle. ,,I also believe in that Delilah's soul will be heald up in few days.'' ,,Yeah?" ,,I am positive." Elpis said smiling.

,,We are going to start with the spell. Repeat after me. I am going to need you say this with me.'' I nodded and looked into Elpis' eyes. She then closed them, grabbed Delilah's and mine hand and started with the spell. I had to repeat everything she said. The spell was long and it took us a while to say all of it. When Elpis stopped with the spell, she opened her eyes and let go of mine and Delilah's hand. ,,What now?" ,,We wait. She should be ok in few days. Will you take care of her?" Elpis asked me. ,,Of course. I wouldn't let her health go, I promise.'' I said with a smile.

,,Thank you, Evan. I believe in you. You should go to the arena now. Your friends should be back anytime soon.'' Elpis said and walked out of the cottage with me. ,, What about you?" ,,It's time for me, to go back home. I got things to do and you don't need my help anymore.'' She said and started to slowly fade away in front of my eyes. ,,Wait! Elpis! I just wanted to thank you! Without you, Delilah would be gone. Thank you.'' I said. ,,You're welcome. It was nice to meet you all. Goodbye, Evan.'' ,, Goodbye.." I said and POOF! Elpis was gone.

I was really thankful for Elpis' help. She helped us a lot. Now I just needed to wait for the guys. I was hoping, that they are all ok..

Time skip..

I've been waiting in front of the portal for like an hour by now. I was getting nervous. No one. Nobody. I've never felt so nervous in my whole life. What if they don't come back? What if Esai imprisoned all of them like he did to Brian? I hugged my knees, having them close to my chest and put my chin on them. Another few minutes went by and I was starting to wonder, if I should go back to check on Delilah, when POOW! A loud ass weird noise came from behind me. It scared the absolute shit out of me and I had to turn around to see, what the hell did that noise.

Turning around, I had to half cover my eyes, because of the shine, that was coming from that place. There was a big circle of light. 'Could it be..?' I thought to myself. All I saw after that, was somebody stepping out of the light. I saw a tall figure and another one. It was them!

I rushed to my friends and hugged every each and one of them. ,,Oh my God, I was so worried! Where have you been?!" I said with a wilde smile accros my face, hugging Lui. ,,The way through the portal was so God damn long, we couldn't get here sooner.'' Tyler chuckled. I pulled away from the hug and looked for someone, I was expecting to see, but.. The someone wasn't there..

,,Y-.. you didn't save.. Brian?" I said with a disappointing look. Marcel stepped up and looked at me sadly. ,,Evan.. We're sorry. We couldn't get him.'' My heart stopped. ,,W-what?" I quietly said, with my voice cracking. It was like my worst nightmare. I was so disappointed. I looked down at the ground and sadly sighed.

,,Nah! We're just kidding!" Marcel said with a smirk and stepped aside. And then I saw him. Brian!!! It was him! ,,Hi, Ev.." ,,B-Brian?" I kinda froze. I didn't know, if this was a dream or something. I just couldn't control myself. I ran up to Brian and threw my arms around him and hugged him tightly, than ever before. Tears of joy started pouring out of my eyes. I was a total mess. I heard Brian sob a little. We were both holding tightly in each other's arms and almost took away our breaths.
