"Alex!" I pleaded. "Alex just listen." He stopped turning around on his heels.
"Des, I'm giving you 3 minutes."
"Well to start if I thought you would truly get hurt, I would have shot the idea down. I don't think we have time to truly look for another nephilim. It says 7 ounces of blood was spilled from the son of God and a man. That's less than a pint. Alex we need to do this, and I'm sorry that we are putting you in this position, I am. But I don't know what else to do!"

"Okay, but how do we resale the scroll?"
"The best idea I've had so far, we melt the pieces of the revelations into a wax seal. Then we reseal the scroll."
"Do you really think that will work?"
"I don't know if anything will work! I just have to trust it will." I took a few steps forward so I was gripping his hands. "And if I can trust that it will work, I need you to trust me. Because if you can't trust me than I don't know if I can do this. Without your trust in me, I don't know if the eight of us can save the world."

"Okay." Was all he said.
"Okay.?"
"I trust you." I smiled pulling him behind me back to the clubroom.

Harper perked up when we got back in the room. She slid a bowl and knife to me and Alex. Alex gripped the knife in his right hand. He closed his eyes his Adam's apple bobbing. I could see his chest rising and falling fast than it did outside. Then with a quick swipe of the blade there was a deep cut in his left palm the blood spilling over into the bowl. He dropped the knife. He closed his left hand so it was in a fist. More blood came out from his hand. I winced it was as if I could feel the pain in his hand. Watching the blood spill over.

I couldn't take it anymore. "OKAY ENOUGH!" I screamed.

Georgia jump before scurrying over to Alex placing her hands around his, healing the skin and stopping the blood. Zoey started to bring the bits of the seals over as I sat down. I lit a candle. We were about to end this. Early today both sets of twins stared to melt pieces of the revelations. We had completely melted the Silver Arrow Of War before I explained the need for blood.

I stared to mix the silver with the wax, dripping it over the scroll. The whole piece of parchment, lit with a golden light. Then the light disappeared and the seal formed a perfect circle, the symbol of war indented into the material.
"I think that means it worked." Thorne said passing me the the syringe containing the serum that killed plague.

I mixed the serum into the wax then pored it over the scroll. The same thing happened as last time, the scroll lit gold and in the place of my sloppy workmanship was replaced with a perfect circle with the seal of Plague. Every Seal was like this. Mixing the wax poring it over the seal, then a gold light would appear and a perfect seal. Then came the last seal, mixing wax with blood.

I looked over to Alex. He nodded and gave me a smile. I closed my eyes and took a breath. I measured out the 7 ounces of blood. When I held it to the light I could almost see a silver undertone to the red oxygenated blood. I pored the blood into the wax. The red wax blended with the red blood. I picked up the small beaker I was using and pored the wax over the brittle scroll. I tried to stay inside the faded lines of a circle.

As soon as I ran out of wax the scroll lit on fire. I dropped it as different blue lights pop up around the room. The scroll stopped burning and was the same as we found it just now with all seven seals.

The blue lights stared to move around like wisps from Brave. Each light had a face. They weren't lights they were, "Souls." Becca spoke what I was thinking. "We opened the after life." She finished her thought. The souls stared to move then subsided floating up in the air disappearing. Going to heaven. We opened the gates of the after life.

One soul walked closer to me, then bursted in a red flame before disappearing. This would happen all over the room. Some souls would burst into flames but most would just sorta float away. Every time one soul would leave three more would appear. All of our heads were spinning. Looking to the left than one soul would make a noise and we would all spin to the far right side of the room. We all were holding our breath before letting it go three seconds later. As if we were slowing our breathing patterns.

There was only nine souls left. One walked over to each of us. Before they all disappeared they walk through us. I felt myself blink, the door opening without me telling it to, two of the chairs were pulled out from the table. Rebecca was shaking so fast I couldn't see her. Zoey stared to turn between humane and animal again and again. Georgia's veins burned a bright pink. Thorne brought his hands to his ears. Sebastian was hovering off the ground and Sam couldn't even be seen. Harper moved faster then I could follow till she was out of the room. Alex's eyes turned a shining silver as his veins were crawling with every color of our powers. Then everything stop.

Harper was back in the room painting. I looked up to face every as Thorne removed his hands. I gulped, "They enhanced our powers." My mouth hung open at my statement. I remembered the day when we all met. When there was nothing in this room besides a pole. The day our lives changed.

The table stared to shake from under me. I looked around realizing it was from the vibrations of Alex's phone.
"Hello this is Alex Millerson." I couldn't hear the answer. "Yes that would be my father." Still couldn't hear what the person on the other line was saying. "Okay. I'm on my way." Alex hung up the phone.

I stood up from my seat, "Alex?"
"They are moving my Dad into cemo." His eyes were sad as he leaned over the table.
"Do you want us to come with you?" I walked over to my friend sitting on the table next to him like he did for me earlier today.

He turned his head to look right at me, "please."
