Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Nineteen- Portals

Gideon announced that we had 17 hours of life support left after Sara decided that Ray wouldn't want us miserable or cold with our final hours of eachother. Truth was, I was scared to die. Not for me but for my baby, because I knew even if Constantine was dead a piece of him would always be here with me because I would have our baby. Something that took two to make, and that night would be drilled into my head forever. 

Now, this is it. This was never the way I imagined I would die; it was the thought of me going down swinging. My thoughts were worse case scenario, I couldn't even remember when the last time I kissed John was, the last conversation we had. I never thought I'd feel the way I felt with Ace again-but I did with John.. Every moment between us it felt the world would just stop. 

When I first met John, he never seemed the type that could be capable of love. I thought so many things about him, I was always in his corner defending him because I knew everything he did was right, or at least it was for a good cause. 

The others weren't very open to having John on the team, especially Mick. I remember them always going back and fourth with one another. The others never understood why I trusted him, I trusted him based off of natural instinct. I used this, and the information I had gathered from Jasper as a child about him. 

"Sweetheart, I'm going with John Constantine again, stay here, and do not leave."  Jasper spoke while packing his back awfully fast. 

"Jasp, how come you always go out with John and I could never come?" my voice was in a whisper tone, not wanting him to be upset with the question. 

"Well, because I don't want you to end up getting hurt, John he's a very good friend and gets the job done, but he's a little reckless sometimes, and sometimes that gets people killed." He explained while kneeling down to my short self. 

"You talk about him a lot, that's why I was just wondering..We all do wrong things for the right reason sometimes, Jasper." He lifted his head up placing his hat on top of my head and smiled. 

"You two would be great friends Ora. Ever since you've been here I always see similar traits in you guys." I felt a small smile creep onto my face and Jasper gave my cheek a little squeeze before kissing my forehead and leaving. 

I felt small tears rolling down my cheeks as I made a sniffling noise, Sara grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She tried to give me a reassuring look, like everything was going to be okay but she failed at doing so. 

"I've tried to see the silver-lining in this situation but I can't seem to find one.." I trailed off, letting my eyes lock with Sara's. 

"That's because there isn't one-" She was cut off by the sound of Gideon's voice. 

"Due to your reckless use of our rapidly depleting energy, internal temperature of the ship has caused the ice around us to melt, enough to shake the ship lose."

The ship erupted into cheers, and I felt my hopes get lifted as we strapped into our seats. I was grateful that this wasn't the end this was my second chance to go and save John.  

I couldn't believe it, our recklessness had finally paid off, and we were on our way to John's location. All I knew is that whatever Neron had planned for John, it wasn't anything good. 

*John's Pov*

"Just stabilize the portal, Johny." The staggering voice of the ratchet demon called.  

"Don't call me that." I spat back at him while staring up from the cage I was trapped in. It was a funny story actually, this demon is bloody crazy and wants me to stabilize a portal for him so he can get his beloved Tabitha out. 

"Why because that's the name, your dead girlfriend and mother of your dead baby called you?"  His voice was cold when he said this; it sent my blood boiling as I banged on the bars of the cage trying to escape. 

"Settle down, Constantine, at least she'll be in heaven, not like it's a plus for you because we both know where you're going." He snorted. 

Pandora was the one thing in this life that I had left, I'd love to believe that there's something the team could've done to get out of that predicament. The one person who thought I was worth saving was most likely not even in this realm anymore. Sighing to myself, I gave in to Neron and spoke up.

"I'll stabilize it, Neron."

"Finally, come around to your senses John? You know you might as well do this because you've nothing left to live for anyways." I was really starting to get tired of his sly comments. 

He unlocked the cage as my ancestor began opening the portal to hell to send a poor little defenseless creature down under. When he had the portal open, I took my hands and begun chanting spells to keep the portal stabilized and opened. 

"John!"

I heard my name being called from behind me and I already knew who's voice it was. 

Pandora's. 

*Pandora's Pov*

"John!" I yelled his name watching him turn around while still stabilizing the portal to hell. 

"Love, I can't stop!" He yelled back as the place we were at turned into complete chaos. 

Neron, turned and looked shocked at me in surprise, to see me alive. I saw someone come out of the portal, it must've been Tabitha. Then Neron and her had disappeared just before John jumped into the portal to hell. 

I ran after him, hearing people screaming my name as I jumped into the portal to rescue John.
