Aria
Sometime in the night I hear banging on my front door. I check my phone to see the time. I see thirteen missed calls and texts on my phone. Beside me Cash stirs. “What's happening?”
Before I can answer I hear my name shouted through the house and the sound of feet running up the stairs. “Aria!”
Aria “Aria!” Cash pulls me in his arms while Mason grabs the phone that I dropped in the snow. “What's going on?” He asks into the phone. He listens for a minute before he speaks. “We are in the woods.” I listen as he gives them directions. Then he hangs up the phone, sliding it into my pocket. They give me a little time to compose myself before the three of us set off. Mason sniffs again, turning to his right. Me and Cash walk along behind him. He sniffs the air again,
“Leaving so soon?” A voice asks from behind them. “Seriously? You totally ripped that from every cartoon villian in every movie!” Halona says, rolling her eyes. “Say another word and I will rip out your tongue.” Halona is violently shoved forward, landing on the ground in a heap. I notice her hands are tied behind her back. I glance at Moira but she is barely concious on her feet.
I spin around to find a woman I haven't seen before coming around from the side of the house. She is tall and thin. Jet black hair and milky white skin in stark contrast. Her eyes are a fiery red which is the only difference from her brother. She looks just like Thanatos. “Eris.” “Ah, I see you know who I am, little one.” She smiles as she glides across the snow. Her short black dress hits at her upper thighs and her shoulders are bared to the elements, but if the cold bothers her she doesn't let on. “I know that my brother is going to be so sorry that he missed this.”
Aria I open my eyes to find a familiar face standing over me, smiling kindly. “I died, didn't I? That's why you are here?” “Well, I have been told I have the face of an angel but I never believed it until now.” Comes the laughing reply. “You've got the face of a horse's rear-end and the personality of a wounded bear. Now, bac
AriaHe looks down at me, clearly shocked. “What?” “I love you.” I repeat, looking into his eyes. “You don't have to say it back or anything. You don't even have to feel it. I just, I couldn't go another moment without telling you how I feel about you. I love you. I love everything about you and I want you in my life all the time in whatever capacity you care to be. Whether it's just you going back to being Maddy's friend or-”
AriaTwo Months Later “Halona, hurry up! We are already late.” Moira says, sounding frantic. “Moira, calm the fuck down. I am almost done.” Halona says back, pinning the last curl into place. “There. You look perfect.”
Moira I look around the market for my sister but I can't find her anywhere. Where the hell could she be? I have circled the place three times, looking behind every curtain and in every booth or vendor stall. I am sure that there are a few merchants who think that I might be crazy, but that's okay. I just want to find Halona and get out of here. I have spent more money than I planned to and my arms are weighted down with my purchases. “Where the hell are you Halona?” I wonder aloud. I might actually be crazy, considering that I am now talking to myself..
Halona I look everywhere for her, but Moira is no where to be found. I try calling her cell phone but it just rings and rings. I find the unanswered phone laying on her bed, with all of the bags of things she bought today. I run out of our room, looking through the building franctically. I search up and down each hallway, asking students at random if they have seen my sister. To the ones who don't know who I am talking about, I simply ask if they have seen a girl with my face. All I get is a 'no'. No one has seen her. But she couldn't have just vanished without a trace, could she?
Moira I rush over to my sister and take her hands in mine. “How long have you been in labor for?” “I don't know. I felt odd all day, with a few twinges here and there, but it wasn't until my wtaer broke a few minutes ago that I actually felt a painful contraction.” She tells me. “Thanatos, get out your phone.”
Halona My husband comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, his hands resting on my huge rounded belly. I think it is odd how huge I am, like double the size of Aria and Moira, but Moira and Aggie swear that it is normal. That all women and pregnancies are different. Grimm said that I should listen to Moira, so I am trying to. He thinks that she knows everything and I tend to just roll my eyes and go along with it. “Since we are the ones hosting the meal, we
Seven Years Later Madoc “Come on, honey! We are going to be late! You know how your sister gets if we keep her waiting! We needed to leave like five minutes ago!” “I will be right there! Just give me one more minute!” I call back. I am almost done. I know that I have been here a little lon
Moira I stare in equal parts horror and amazement at my sister as she stands behind Castiel's body, holding the bloody sword. It doesn't quite feel real to me at the moment, the fact that it is all over. This all seems like a dream. But I can feel the heat from the fire, that soreads across the field. I can smell the metallic scent of blood that overpowers the air. I know this is real, but it just seems too good to be true. We finally have our lives back. No more lo
Madoc “Maddy!” I look at Moira as she falls to her knees beside me where I kneel on the ground with Ellie in my ams. Tears fill my eyes as turn to face my sister. My sister that I really need to help me. “Sh- she stopped breathing.I can't get her.. to breathe.” Moira touches Ellie's hand, taking it in hers an
Moira I feel a hand catch mine and tug, pulling me behind them as they run. I stumble as I try to keep up with the long stide. It takes me a moment to realize that it is Cash that is pulling me. “Hey! What is going on?” “Raf needs help.” My heart stops in my chest and
Moira We all turn to find Castiel standing a few hundred yards away from us with an evil grin on his handsome face. He is halfway down the hill that we just came down. Was he behind us the whole time or did he get her so quickly using magical means? Also, where is the rest of his entourage? Maddy moves forward, pushing me and Moira behind him. As he has always done. Cash quickly joins him, then Raf and Grimm. I reach for Ellie's h
Halona Saying our goodbyes was much harder than I thought it would be. I hugged each of the children goodbye, then I hugged my grandmother, my nephew and then Aria. I saw the tears in her eyes as she stood there, watching us all prepare to leave. No one was saying what we were all thinking. That it could have been our last goodbye. I watched as each of our siblings said there goodbyes
Aria My house is bursting at the seams with people. Mason, Landry and Grimm have brought all the people who volunteered to help us over to meet us. Things are getting really bad over in the Seven Regions. Castiel is terrorizing everyone. Hypnos went over there to ready the troops, but came back and told us that we need to go. It's time. The final battle, as Halona has dubbed it. We've all taken to calling it that, without actuall
