Chapter 21

Seth's POV

As soon as my father left this world the thunder ceased. The sun began to shine once more... the sunlight felt amazing against my skin. The aching in my body felt like it was being healed by the sunlight.

My father said that Jaxon and the others were right below us. It kind of surprised me how he knew Jaxon... If what Avel said about Jaxon was true I suppose that's why. Why wouldn't Jaxon tell me? Were the marks that we share a sign of being soul mates?

I brought myself down into the woods, the sound of my wings batting against the air making a harsh sound. I couldn't help but notice the length of them... they were bigger than the first time I saw them, of course, the same amount of black. It still amazes me how I have them... though Avel tried to take them from me. He cut open my back in an attempt to make them come out... but I forced myself to keep them in. I don't know exactly how it works...

As soon as I lowered myself into the woods I heard the sound of Jaxon. He was discussing to Jayce that he sensed me near-by... I felt a burning at my wrist and a smile lingering on my lips. I looked down... and saw the glowing of the mark. He was close. They were all close... I know I was only gone for about a day and a half, it felt like centuries...

''Jaxon? Jayce?'' I yelled into the woods, quickening my pace. The conversation they were having ceased immediately and the sound of leaves being crushed against the ground filled my ears.

''...Seth?'' I heard Jaxon yell, the rest of them letting out a happy laugh... they were right in front of me.

The first person I saw was Jaxon. He had the biggest smile on his lips, his yellow eyes dripping with tears. Jayce looked at me with shock, his quivering lips slowly turning into a smile. Elena, Magdalene, and Jin simply looked at me with smiles.

Next thing I knew, I was thrown onto my back by a rejoicing Jaxon.

''Seth! Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to see you! We have been looking forever! I missed you so much!'' He said to me, holding me tightly in his arms. He laid on top of me with his arms wrapped around my waist. He yelled frantically about how he had been searching with everyone... I couldn't help but laugh.

The rest of them joined us, looking down at us with laughter. Jaxon didn't stop rambling about how happy he was...

''Alright, Jaxon... let the boy go. We could discuss everything when we get back home.'' Jayce said. I watched as Jaxon slowly lifted his face from my chest, his olive skin had a pink tint to it.

''Sorry... I guess I got a little excited.'' He mumbled, pulling himself off of me. He held out his hand for me to take... which I took it gratefully.

'It's good to have you back, Seth.'' Magdalene said to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. Jin said the same... but pulled me into a tight embrace.

''Don't do that again! I was so worried about you!'' Jin said, a sniffle leaving his nose afterward. I gladly accepted his hug.

He began crying, but his sobs were muffled against my chest. Everyone's smiles slowly faded away from their faces, frowns replacing them.

I pulled him away from my chest, kneeling down to him and placing my hands on his shoulders. His eyes were red and puffy, his pale skin leaving a red tint.

''Jin... It's okay. I'm back now and I'm not going anywhere. I promise.'' I said. He nodded his head slowly, looking back at his father.

''Can you make the portal now? I don't want any other mean angels taking him...'' He mumbled. Jayce smiled at him, nodding his head.
