Just Add Magic

Chapter 24: Home

Jordan's POV:

I looked around as Mia was kicking our asses. That moon ring drove Mia to be something she wasn't. It drove her mad with power. I looked at Angel as she looked ready to throw in the towel. Then Angel gasped and cried, "It's you!!" I looked up and gasped. I watched as two figures emerged from the water. The ghost entity from the house and Sophia's ghost.

They crawled out of the water with their tails trailing behind them. Then they grew legs. "Sophia!!" Chrystal cried. She smiled at all of us. Her and the ghost entity walked up to Angel then inside her. She closed my eyes then opened them. Her eyes were both different colors. One was bright green like Sophia's and the other was blue like the ghost girl's.

"Whoa. I feel like every muscle in me was about to burst." Angel said. Then she turned around and glared at Mia. Mia had a horrified look on her face. "No....no. I'm the all powerful mermaid!!" She cried. We all walked up to her when Mia started to run away. I used my powers to knock down some boulders to stop her from running away.

"No Mia!! Your not running away this time." I said, as we stalked towards her. "Guys wait. I'm sorry, okay?" She said. We ignored her. "Angel please!! I'm sorry!!" She cried. "Sorry?! You killed Sophia!!! You killed my best friend!!!" She cried. Tears streamed down both of their faces. "I'm sorry!!!!" Mia cried. I looked at Angel. From her energy, I felt both girls inside her build up their strengths.

She channeled all her energy and powers and threw a powerful blast at Mia. The ghost girl entity and Sophia's ghost must've made Angel's powers even more stronger. We looked down to see Mia a bloody mess. She looked over and stared at me as she suffocated on her own blood. She gasped for air before she died. Angel stood over her body before turning to us.

They stared at me. "Good God Angel." Jacob said. "She killed Sophia and you want me to feel sorry for her?" She said, calmly. "No but damn. That was just brutal." He said. Angel then breathed a sigh of relief. We watched as Sophia and the ghost girl leave Angel's body. She dropped down to the ground. I went over and held her. "Guys look!" Chrystal said. We looked up and saw the ghost girl and Sophia staring at us. She smiled at us before looking at Mia. Then they both disappeared. "So it's over?" Chrystal asked. "It's over." I said, after a minute.

Four Years Later*

I looked at my daughter as she rubbed Angel's pregnant belly. I smiled. She looked at me and smiled. My smile grew bigger. "Daddy what do you think of this one?" She asked, as she handed me her painting of Angel. "It looks great Sophia." I said, taking the paintings. Angel looked at her and smiled.

^Sophia

I did too. Since Sophia's death, Angel wasn't exactly herself. She missed her deeply. Even though Angel killed Mia, she still feels that she should've done more. She avenged Sophia like she said she would but it resulted in Angel becoming depressed. Turns out that was bad for our baby.

Me and Angel found out she was pregnant when she fainted one day. The doctor said because Angel wasn't eating because of Sophia's death, she was starving our baby. So Angel cleaned herself up but deep down, I knew she was still reeling from Sophia's death.

As time went on, we found out the gender of our baby. It was a girl. Angel decided to name her Sophia in honor of her. Then Angel got pregnant again at Kiana's baby shower. Kiana had another baby by her boyfriend. Me and Angel went out for a date night and afterwards, we went to my house and we got busy. Now Angel's pregnant with a baby boy. And I couldn't be happier.

I looked at Sophia as she stared at the water. Ironically, she was scared of water, even though she was a mermaid like me and Angel. We didn't think it was possible but Sophia indeed has a tail and magical powers like us. "Sophia it's just water. It won't hurt you." I said. She looked at me and pouted. "Let me show you." I said, as I stood up. I walked over to the water and stood in it.

My legs felt tingly and numb. Ten seconds later, I fell to the ground. I looked up at Sophia. "Daddy it's still scary." She said. I looked at Angel. She shrugged and went back to reading her book. "Sophia I promise you nothing bad is gonna happen." I said. She took a deep breath and sighed. She stood up and walked over towards me. She stepped into the water and stood there.

Then she fell to the ground. She looked back at her tail. "Now what?" She asked. "We swim." Chrystal said, as she ran up to us. She dove into the water and surfaced with her tail. I turned my head to see her kids running towards us. Her two daughters and her toddler son. Jacob carried his son over, as he wasn't ready to swim on his own. I looked up at Angel.

"Y'all go ahead and swim. I'm hungry." She said, as she stood up and walked in the house. "Hey guys." Jacob said. "Sup." I said. He looked back at Angel. "Is she doing any better?" He asked. I knew what he was referring to. "Yep. She finally stop screaming at me. I think that's the end of her crazy mood swings." I said. Then we heard a loud crash. "Jordan!!' Why the fuck is your belt here!!" Angel yelled.

I looked at her as she opened the door and glared at me. "You know I don't like it when your belt is near me. IT SMELLS LIKE ACID!!!" She screamed. She slammed the door closed. Everyone looked at me. "I don't think she's done with her crazy mood swings." Chrystal said, as she dried off and went inside to comfort Angel. I sighed. It's good to be home. But in order for a house to be a home....you need to just add magic.
