Halona
I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I look at the screen display and a little beat of excitement courses through me. Sorin. Scrambling to sit up, I clear my throat so that my voice won't sound all scratchy and husky.
“Hello?”
“Good morning, Halona. I hope I didn't wake you.&rd
Madoc We all watch the screen in anticipation as an image ripples across, slowly becoming clear. We see Castiel in the middle of the screen, standing at a long table seated with many people. Mostly men. Not a smile among them. In fact, they all look downright pissed. Castiel stares at them and they all stare back at him. “I want to be precise about this. We have had way too many fuck ups thus far. LaFrount? Think you can manage this or do I need to find someone e
Moira “A siren?” I repeat. “How does that make her a weapon?” Halona asks the room at large. “Sirens can lure men to them.” Aria tells her. “I remember Castiel making a remark to Eyra about it. How she wasn't going to get him to 'bend to her will' or something like tha
Halona “I just need you to be careful, cara.” Sorin tells me, reaching for my hands. I love his Italian accent and his husky voice. It is so melodic. Doesn't cara mean some kind of endearment? That is so sweet of him. “I will.” I promise him with a smile. He moves towards me, sliding hi
Halona “We need to get out of this house without being murdered. That's the objective. Anything after that, we will figure out as we go.” Raf tells us. I almost suggest that we just poof out, before I remember that it won't work on Ellie. We would be poofed out and she would be left here on her own. That isn't an option for any of us, because apparently all of us have this weird, newly discovered hero complex. But no matter, we will never leave someone behin
Moira “We need to keep moving until we are as far away from Castiel's estate as possible.” Raf tells us. “This way.” Grimm mutters, before he moves through the trees as swift as the wind. I meet my sister's eyes, seeing pain in her eyes and I wonder what happened between them. I say not
Madoc She is so beautiful. But she looks so fragile an delicate, standing away from everyone, looking around warily. She is clearly out of her depth, no ocean pun intended. I smile to myself, but quickly sober once more. I watch the girl, Ellie, as she edges closer to Moira. My sister gives her a sympathetic smile before she gestures to the room at large.
Aria “Have you noticed all the tension in that room? You could cut through it with a pair of children's safety scissors.” I whisper to my husband, as we have a rare moment alone in the kitchen, while everyone else is in the dining room. Landry went home to be with his family, but he left Thanatos here, to join in on the discussion of what to do next. The only problem is, we have no idea what to do next. Where do we go from here?
Ellie “And then I see you baby.. and everything's alright..” I follow the sound of singing down the hallway to the study at the back of the house. “Everything's alright..”
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
