"We have to get her out as soon as possible. Purgatory is another route demons take to get from hell to earth. With the war to take over the throne; she's fair game in there. Waylong, does she have access to her dragon or any of her powers?" Lucifer is panicking, which is making all of us start to panic. "Not that I can tell. Part of the spell was to trap her dragon. The poison was meant to render her helpless. I feel her dragon, but she's not stirring or fighting this off. Meanwhile Remi's mind and body are fighting tooth and nail. If her dragon was available to her; I have no doubt they could fight this off.""I don't know about anyone else. But from where I'm sitting my sister isn't fighting shit. She came to hours ago, and nothing since Doc injected her with that shit." Gunner is restless and worried. Others may think it's just concern, but I feel the fear radiating off of him. The fear he will loose his sister. "Remi's body is fighting off the poison like a mortal would a sickn
I wake up to the sound of pounding at my front door. Then the door bell starts ringing. I sip up off the floor. Wait! Why the hell am I on the floor? Why is the floor so cold and hard? Where's the carpet? Those thoughts take a backseat as my head starts spinning. A dim light comes on and a white door is only a mere three steps. But I'm so weak. Why am I so weak? I use the wall for support as I push myself to standing. I wait for the spinning to subside. Then I walk the few steps over to the door. I turn the doorknob and nothing happens. I twist it a few more times, and still nothing happens. Then with little to no effort it swings open wide. My mother's garden is filled with bright beautiful flowers. All kinds and colors fill the space surrounding the stone benches placed in a circle in the middle of the garden. Something's not right. I look behind me expecting to see the pool house and the swimming pool. Instead there's a stark white empty room. I push my palms against my achy eyes
The sound of a little boy's voice slips past Remi's lips. "Hurry daddy. I can't stay with Remi much longer." Kieran's eyes fill with tears as his hands lightly hold Remi's face. "Romeo. Son is that you. Oh my beautiful boy!" Kieran rains kisses down on Remi's face."Daddy, sissy fell asleep twice. You're not supposed to do that here. If she falls asleep in the room again she might get stuck. I don't know how much longer I can keep her awake. Sissy, is so tired. So, sleepy. The room is taking her strength and energy. It kept her in the dark and sleeping when she was first put in it. She slept too long. She loves you so much Aiden. I can feel it. It's so beautiful and strong. It's warmth flows keeping some of the cold from this place at bay. Promis me; you'll always protect her and love her.""With everything in me, Romeo." In that moment in front of everyone in that room; I pledge to protect and love the one that meant everything to him. The one he gave his own life for. His twin sis
They shrug their shoulders. I can see the little hamster running on the wheel inside their brains; as they think through possible scenarios before they decide on an anser. "A soul being sent to Purgatory while the being was alive and well has happened many times. It was easy to go in and help them. This case is different. Remi was given a lethal dose of poison. Sure the serum is keeping the poison from going to her heart; but her body is essentially dying. The soul of a dying being trapped im Purgatory is in a whole other ball park." Waylon says as his fingers tap against his chin. His brows are deepened as he starts thinking of more possible scenarios. You can almost see the scenes play out on his face. "I get what you're saying Kallista. If her soul is trapped then her mind knows and believes itse;f to be trapped too." Waylon once again stares off into space.Gabriel's face is contemplative. I see the lightbulb moment the second it happens."It's possible; that if the person going
Blaze lifts Kallista onto a chair so that she is eye level with me. Her tiny hands grab onto my face and latch on. A wealth of knowledge floods my brain short circuiting my body. My eyes roll into the back of my head and my knees start to buckle. Someone grabs me under the arms holding me up until Kallista lets me go. In two minutes everything Kallista knows about shields is lodged inside my brain. I know the different ways they're erected and taken down. How they can be labeled or color coded. I can now open my mind and hear every thought in a room and funnel through the information to find what I'm looking for quickly. I can hide my presence inside someone else's mind or let myself be known. I can also tell when someone is trying to get inside my head before they do it. I can mind fuck a person by planting thoughts, images, and memories. I can also erase a memory. And I can do all this while digging around in their brain. I can plant something subconsciously inside someone's brain;
"Slow down there Hellhound. These are memories her parents wanted erased. She was so young they didn't want her to have to live with them. Some she herself asked for them to be erased. These are things that her parents or she felt that she didn't need or want to know. For one reason or another.""Let me guess. They had you do it.""Yes. I sworn my life to protect the females of the royal Fae line. It started with Illianna. Then she had me swear my loyalty and life to guard, Yanessa. Nothing prepared me for the overwhelming pride, joy, and love that filled me the day the twins were born. Then I learned that Remi was still born. My heart broke. I stood with Yanessa and Kieran the day she took her first breath. And I swore to them that I would be there for the twins till they took their last breath. It killed me the night Romie was murdered. I knew then there was nothing I wouldn't do for Remi. I was willing to double down on my protection, guidance and loyalty. No matter what it costs m
I hold out my hand to Gabe and Waylon who hold a potion in each hand. Once I've drank them all a collective sigh fills the room. "I'm ready." I say hugging Kallista back. Kallista takes a step back. Blaze and Gunner place two chairs side by side next to Remi's bed. "It's gonna hurt you both like a bitch. There's no other way to do this. You're gonna have to move fast. Start with the easiest shield in your way. Then work your way up to the shield put in place by the spell. Don't loose focus. Don't get distracted by what you see or hear. I'll follow you and help. I can only go so far. I'll tell them how things are going on your end. You've got this Aiden. Remi and Payne wouldn't be fated for someone weak.""Touching her will make entering her mind easier since she's comatose." We each place a hand on Remi. We enter her mind. I'm immediately disoriented. Her mind is covered in a thick fog. "The fog is part of the spell Use what you remember about her mind from previous visits to navig
"The first time I left was the night you were attacked. I watched as the first wave attacked the house. Michael begged me to leave the falls. To go and find my peace. I begged to go to you and mom. I begged him to help me find a way to save you two. He said somethings have to play out. That fate has a plan for everyone. When the first strike hit mom I cried and begged to go. Michael told me there were no sad tears in heaven. Then shoved me into the pool of water. When I swam to the top; I was no longer at the looking falls. I was with dad and Gunner in the backseat. Gunner stepped on the gas and I flew backwards. I ended up next to mom. I got to hold her hand as she took her last breath. When you were thrown into the room; I jumped up trying to free Blaze. But my hands kept passing through the rods holding him. I roared towards the heavens for Michael to help me help you. He landed next to me; his pearly silver tipped wings spread so wide I couldn't see you. I could hear you screaming
