Survive (Discontinued)

Chapter 37: Mikal's P.O.V

Jacula led me back to the car and drove me home. After that we said good-bye to each other and that we would soon see the other. Once he left I finished my dinner and put the left overs away. I headed to my bed and went to sleep.

Waking up the next morning I felt refreshed for some reason. "Hey Ste-" but I cut myself off as the memories from yesterday came flooding back to me.

"Oh." I managed to choke out as I got this feeling of fury and rage. When this happened I would usually just turn power over to Matsu but he no longer is with me. I presume he'll be with me when my children are born. Not with me particularly but with my kids, that is.

"Young one, don't fret. Your children are fine and Stestial will only be in there for the next six months." Matsu's firm voice spoke.

Then something dawned on me. "Wait, if she's only in there for six months then that means are children will be born early!"

"Calm yourself, numbskull. I'm taking care of the children right now. I'm making sure that they stay healthy and that their bodies are progressing faster than most children's should. Don't worry though, she is completely safe. Although your daughter, I believe you both came to terms with Regan, is going to become a bright young women. That's all I can tell you about her. Your son will grow strong and powerful." Shadow.

"Then will she have the children earlier than the presumed deadline?" I asked.

"They'll be born two months early." Shadow replied hesitantly.

"So, you're speeding up their growth that way they'll be born earlier than said time and she won't have to be in there as long?"

"Yes. You've already said it previously. I'm using every dirty trick in the book to help her get out quicker. After all... I would bring Heaven and Hell to Earth if it meant saving her. Besides that, I got to meet a rather strange demon king while I was away. Turns out his younger self will be inhabiting your third child. Mikal will be in your son. I'll be in your daughter. And he will be in your third." Shadow spoke calmly but I couldn't help but bust out laughing.

"What is your problem?!" Mikal snapped.

"I-I'm so sorry but do you realize how bad and wrong that sounds?" I asked after I had calmed down.

"Remind me how Stestial fell for him?"

"I'm not rightly sure, I think she thought it was because of his charm...?"

"Yeah, I'm still lost."

"Me too, I'm still confused on how we ended up being bound together."

"That has been a question running through my mind for quite a while. By the way Kooliparie says, 'It's because if you've done something wrong they must place you in the body of someone weaker. Why do you think I inhabit Shadow?'" Shadow's voice gave way to Kooliparie's voice when she let Kooliparie speak but Matsu's quick response was my favorite.

"Shadow is not weak! Although..."

"Although what?"

"Oh, never mind, we must leave though."

"Good-bye guys!" I yelled and they swiftly said good-bye before they were gone.

"Hmm... Stestial isn't around, what should I do?" I questioned no one in particular. Suddenly I heard the front door being slammed open and I saw intruders walk inside.

"You need to come with me. We heard about your wife and we would like to help." A tall man with flaming red hair said.

"You can't help her." I replied solemnly.

"She can always be saved."

"Eh... not by you." I replied looking into his black eyes.

"Why not?!" The man snapped at me. It was a four person team. A female with brown hair stood beside the man. On the opposite side stood another female with black hair. Behind them stood and even taller man, who was also very broad shouldered and muscular, with blonde hair and raging blue eyes. I'm really confused at the present second.

"Because, Shadow and Matsu already said that I couldn't help them in any way. Only Shadow knows how to save her, right now she's working on that."

"Oh, you know Shadow and Matsu?" The short brown haired female asked.

"Yes, she is a close friend of Stestial's."

"What about Matsu?" The black haired female asked.

"I was getting there. I was his host." I said and they all gasped.

"You seriously have to come with us dude." The blonde in the back spoke. His voice wasn't deep like you'd expect. Nor was it high pitch. It was simply neutral to gender.
