The New Legend

Chapter twelve

Louisa's POV
Everyone is silent. I don't know what to say or do. I never met my mom. John told me that my 'mom' wasn't my real mom but he never told me who my actual mom was. I'm so confused. "So... I heard you got the artistic traits that I have." She says, breaking the silence. I nod slowly. My head is still pounding and I feel dizzy. "My name is Zed, by the way." She adds, looking at me with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask while looking at John firmly, letting that be the first thing coming out of my mouth since they found me. "I'm sorry, I thought you weren't ready." He answers. John rarely says sorry. That's definitely weird. I look back at Zed. "I only know your name... Isn't that a bit too little?" I ask her. Zed stares at me in silence. "I mean, you're apparently my mother, so I should know more about you." I add and slowly try to stand up from the black chair. "Follow me." I say while motioning towards the tunnels and Zed follows me to my room where we can talk.

John's POV
"What in the bloody hell..." I mumble to myself as I open my eyes. I'm in the bar of hell... Literally. But how? I look around me and see Astra standing there. "What did you do this time, eh?" I ask angrily while still trying to be confident. "You see, we are kind of borrowing your body." She says with a drink in her hand, sitting on a green sofa. "What do you mean? You can't just poses someone, love." I say back with a smirk on my face. "Oh, Johnny, this isn't just some possession." Astra says back.

"Bloody no you didn't..." I mumble. "You don't have the supplies to perform that damn spell! You don't even have the power!" I say loudly. "Well, my friend, Belial... He does have the power." She says back. A smirk appears on her face as mine had already faded. "And I guess those souls you sent weren't to bloody kill Louisa, but to get everything you need into hell, weren't they?" I ask and sigh deeply, grossing my arms. Damn it, Astra, why did you change this way?

Louisa's POV
"Why didn't you react angrily like most kids would do when they found out?" Zed asks me as ew sit on my bed. "Was that the reason that you were hiding from me?" I ask her back. She looks at me and shakes her head. "No, I had to because you would be in even more danger if you would be living with me." She says. "Here, let me show you what I can do. Take my hands." She says while closing her eyes and grabs my hands.

"The honeymoon suite?" ... "What is that? Loneliness. Pain. Desperation. These things motivate you. What kind of person is motivated by these things? So much guilt, John Constantine." ... "It didn't seem this big on the outside." "You try having visions like mine and see if your interested in dabbling. I need more control, not less." "I'm John Constantine, I do stupid in spades." "You kneel here, night after night, hoping against hope that heaven hears your words. Well guess what? John has heaven on speed dial." ... "Do you believe in fate?"

Everything she had done is all swirling in my head. "How did you do that?" I ask her. My head is swirling so bad I feel like I'm about to pas out. "It"s a gift, those are visions. I met John on a street while I was taking a stroll. I dreamt of him before I met him. I felt like it was destiny." Zed answers. "I... Wow." I say stuttered. "I'm afraid there's another time aberration on the loose. Grigori Rasputin, known as a mystical adviser in the court of Czar Nicholas II of Russia." I hear Gideon say before we could continue.

Nate's POV
"John, Ray, Mick, with me. We will take care of Rasputin while the rest finds out who or what the next aberration could be." Sara says while walking from the corridors on to the bridge. "Take a seat everyone, 'cause we are going back to december 17th 1916, Russia!" Sara adds as she walks to the captain's seat. I walk to my seat and we launch off into Russia.

"Actually, I will sit this one out." John suddenly says as he jumps up. "Wait, you're the one who has to banish them back to hell. You have to come." I say while looking at him with confusion. "No need, you can take this book with ya, it contains the spell." John says back as he throws a tiny brown book into my hands. "Okay, Nate, you're coming with us then." Sara says as she wanders off to the cargo bay.

John's POV
The last thing I remember is going into the library, alone, to try and find a spell book that contains old spells of the gods for tracking fallen angels. Louisa has got the same aura as the one of an angel, so it would be logical to find a spell in an angelic book. I couldn't seem to find one, because they don't got bloody spell books. After that, everything went black. Damn it, Astra, you bloody are winning this fight.

Louisa's POV
It's weird that John lets the others do his job. He never wants to let anyone get mixed into dark magic. Everyone had already left on their mission. Only me, Zari, John and Zed are still on the ship. Zed is talking with Zari, I think they will be great friends. I'm sitting in the captain's office, reading a book. "Louisa, you want to help looking for those demons?" John asks, suddenly standing in front of me. I look up from the chair I'm sitting in and nod slowly. Something isn't right.

We walk to the library. When we reached the library, I notice something odd. John normally has a lot of stuff ready to do spells with. His jars and cans are normally everywhere, now, I see empty tables. "How do you think we will find those demons?" I ask him. John just stares at me. The feeling that something isn't right is growing stronger. I'm beginning to question if this is the real John.

"Hello, earth to John?" I ask after a full 10 seconds of silence. "Sorry, I was thinking about how we could use your powers to track Belial and Astra." He says. "Shouldn't we be looking for the next soul or something?" I ask him. John shakes his head and walks towards 'his' bookcase. It's mostly filled with his spell books. "Where did you hide it, John..." He whispers faintly to himself while searching through it. I see a faint red glow in his eyes. That's not John.

"Hey John." Zed says as she walks into the library with Zari. "Hey guys." I say back after I turned to them. "Zari, can I talk to you about what happened at Heyworld?" I ask Zari as an excuse and I walk towards her. "Yeah sure." She says and motions for me to follow her. "John, what's wrong?" Zed asks him while walking towards him. John, or that thing, is just staring at me, again. "Hey..." Zed says softly and grabs his arm. Her eyes turn white as she gasps, only to turn back to normal not a second after. "Louisa, go." Zed says loudly.

I turn around and grab Zari's arm. "I shouldn't make the choice to run again." I hear John say with a demonic tone in his voice. I turn back around and see John holding Zed tightly. His eyes have turned completely red and his veins are visible and... Black... That's one of those powerful possessions John told me about. "Who are you?" I ask. Don't you recognize me? The voice in my head echoes. "Belial..." I mumble to myself as Zed's eyes grow wide.

"Run, Zari, get the others, get help." I swiftly say with my head turned to her. I turn my head back to Belial and kick him in his stomach. He lets go of Zed as he grabs his stomach in pain. Zed runs to me and stays in front of me. "You won't kill my daughter like you killed him!" Zed yells angrily. Him?

Note:

Oof my phone just broke so I'm writing on my laptop right now so yeah all the chapters that I write will be published at the same time because I can't tell if these chapters are in the same settings... (like idk if the text is in the middle of the page or idk how long it looks on the phone and I think that most people read this on their phone so yeah) So sorry it took me so long to upload and sorry that there could be more chapters at the same time that are published. Also I ran out of inspiration (again xd) and now I got too much inspiration so this chapter is long and I'm not even done writing so there will be at least two chapters published at the same time.

See ya, -UnknownWriter
