Chapter Twenty Six

Chapter Twenty Six- It's only the beginning 

*John's Pov*

"John you keep the perimeter." I was ordered by Sara while she and Ray were busy getting into their costumes for the 'show'. 

The plan was to lure Neron here and finish him off for good since he could make off a lot of souls here. With us being down a person this was going to be especially hard but I did what I felt was needed to protect Pandora. 

"John, I can't believe you locked her up like an animal." Ritchie runs up to me and spits in my face. 

"Is she your wife Ritchie, no she isn't! So stay out of it." I spat back.

"She's not your wife John.." I just stood back in realization that he was right, she wasn't my wife. I had the ring but had been too afraid of her answer to ask. 

After that, I had angrily walked away to keep my position as the act was going to begin starting soon. 

*Pandora's Pov*

I can't believe he left me here, he left me. I couldn't help but think of all the terrible and awful things that could happen and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

He came into my life so swiftly, and it took me so long to find him and now I don't even know if I'll be able to love him for the rest of our lives. 

"Gideon...you've got to let me out of here.." I sighed out as I pounded on the bubble. 

"I was strictly ordered by Mr. Constantine not to." She spoke, which caused me to scream out in aggravation.  

"Ms, Archer I do have something that he wanted me to play for you." My interest peaked as I stopped screaming at the top of my lungs. 

"Play it back Gideon." I ordered her as I saw a hologram of John pop up right before my eyes. 

The message began to play and I couldn't help but begin to become even more worrisome. 

"Pandora, my love there are so many great things I could say about you and the woman I've watched you become in such a short amount of time. I'm not certain what will happen with the fight but this is just in case I don't make it out. "

"I love you, I will never stop loving you. You are unlike anything I've ever seen before, your goofy laugh you make when I pronounce 'ranch dressing' to the way you look when you cry because even then you're beautiful too."

"This is your story, and I need you to continue you it even if it's without me. Don't shut people out and be cold, embrace it like you've embraced all the other bad things that have happened to you."

"It's not very John Constantine of me to be talking like this but if I make it out of here I want you to marry me."  His hologram spoke as it got down on one knee and pulled out a box with a ring. My eyes began to water as my stomach went to the inside of my throat. 

"Your's truly, John Constantine."

"Gideon you need to let me out of here!" I banged as hard as I could and screamed in a pathetic attempt to get out. 

"I'm sorry Ms.Archer but-" 

I felt something course inside me as I screamed cutting off Gideon and watched the barrier turn red and deplete right before my eyes as I was finally free I ran and began to search for a time courier. 

*John's Pov*

"One hand gives, the other takes..." Neron spoke out as the dragon landed by his side which caused an uproar in noise of parents and children trying to make it out of the building.
