Chapter 12 - Chapter 12- She's Back For Now

I was rushing to find the doctor, to get some type of answers. I ran all over the hospital but had to stop sometimes so I wouldn't change into my werewolf form. I finally found her in a corner, looking more frightened than ever.

"Doc, what is it?" I asked.

"It's worse than I thought, I've only heard the legends. But the life or death twins are born." The doctor stuttered out.

"Legends? Never mind that, you need to tell us everything you know about the life or death twins."

The doctor and I walked back to the others who were freaking out, especially Blake. Raelynn was surprisingly calm, probably because she just gave birth to the most adorable twin ever. The doctor quickly runs to the little library in the hospital, and grabs and huge book with the title, The Secret Legends.

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN AND COME SIT DOWN," I yelled in a demanding voice.

Everyone came into Raelynn's room and sat down to hear what I had to say. More of, what the doctor had to say.

"Okay everyone, the doctor may have some answers for us. She has a book here, with information about the life or death twins. So listen up." I announced.

"Okay, here is what the book says about the life or death twins." The doctor turns to a bookmarked page in the book. "The life or death twins are even more dangerous than just a life or death demon. They are definitely, not the same. The twins are two different demons, one is the life demon, and the other is the death demon. These demons can be taught to use their abilities but haven't been shown successful yet. It is very important that the twins do not touch. If the twins were to touch, they would combine into one. When the transformation is complete, the only way to split them up would be if they kill over 20 people. Be warned, that the children who combine will not be the same people. When the twins are born, they will grow very fast until the age of five. After they reach this age, only then will they be able to be taught how to use their abilities for good and not evil. It will not be good if one of the children turns evil, this could lead to world destruction. Take care of these twins, and make sure they are taught right."

"Wow, that sounds really creepy," Skylar says.

"The twins aren't near each other, right?" Blake asked.

"No, no they're not," Raelynn answered.

"Since 9 months pass for the kids in about 3 days for us, that means that we have a little less than 21 days before they turn 5 and stop growing fast," Skylar says smartly.

"So we don't have to call them, "the kids," do you have names for them yet?" I asked curiously.

"Well, of course, the boy is Drake," Raelynn said, annoyed. "And the girl is, Zoe, after Skylar's sister."

"Really!?" Skylar says with tears filling her eyes.

"Yeah."

"Okay, we have more important things to worry about right now. Now that the kids are born, there will be people coming after us and those babies. We're going to need a new hideout, and I have the perfect place." Derek blurts out.

"nos adducere ad me" Derek reads off a spell.

Everyone started to glow, and we suddenly all appeared in a huge house. We all fell a short distance, while Blake and I were holding the babies.

"Derek, what the hell?" Blake yells at Derek.

"Yeah, and where are we?" I also ask Derek.

"Everyone calms down, this is my mansion," Derek explains.

"Mansion?" Everyone says in confusion.

"Yeah, on World X, I was rich. Anyway, I own a lot more than this little mansion." Derek blabs.

"Derek, your living room is the size of my whole house." I try to say without screaming.

"Okay, well this place should keep us safe for a while. It has top security, and face scanning locks. I have the best security in this world." Derek shows off.

"Well, since you have the best security, I guess we can sleep with two eyes closed," I say in relief.

We all went to sleep in the same room, we couldn't bring ourselves to sleep in separate rooms. Everyone's eyes closed immediately, we were all tired from traveling all over the place. About 2 hours in, of precious sleep. I hear a noise from the living room, I quickly get up and start walking slowly towards the living room. I see that the front door is cracked open, and I start to worry. I walk around and scan every room. Then the hairs on the back of my neck start to spike up, and I whip my head back to see what it was. There was a man dressed in all black, and many more men and women began to surround me. They all pointed their guns at me, I was completely helpless. If I were to change my form, I would surely be shot.

"You better tell me where the twins are, or I'll kill you." One of the men threatens me.

"You can't kill her when you're already dead." A girl says as she stabs the man with what appears to be two katanas.

This girl, she sounded familiar, like I knew her voice from somewhere. I couldn't see her face, though. She was also wearing all black like she was part of their group, but she was wearing a mask. After she killed the man, she jumped over to me and hand me a katana. I didn't know how to use it, but how hard could it be, you know. Well, actually it was very hard. I tried cutting off one of the men's head but got my sword stuck instead. So I decided to just stab them through the heart. The shots being fired probably woke everyone up, but no one came out. Surprisingly, all of the people's shots missed us, and we managed to kill them all.

"So, who are you?" I asked.

"Well, I surprised you haven't figured it out yet." The girl said as she took off her mask.

"Zoe? Are you going to tell me how you're alive, and how you got that cure for me?"

"I'll explain everything when everyone wakes up."

"Okay," I said, understanding why she would want to wait.

"Now, clean up the trash. I'll check for any more people in the house." Zoe demanded.

One thing's for sure, Zoe was not the same person as before. She is demanding, and mean now, its like she hates me. I did what she said, and dumped the bodies outside. I took two bodies at a time and threw them in the forest. Of course, it was raining as well, the weather was demonstrating just as I felt. I was feeling sad, and a little bit confused. I wanted to know how she was alive, and why she was so different. I knew I would get my questions answered soon enough. I walked in and walked into the bedroom where everyone was asleep, except for the babies. They were oddly just sitting there playing, without crying or anything.

"Everyone wake up!" I yelled.

"What do you want, Lexa." Derek stuttered out tiredly.

"With Derek's top security, that worked so well. We were attacked." I said the first part sarcastically.

"What?! Wait, who's we?" Raelynn asks surprised.

"Uh... Zoe and I." I hesitated.

Zoe then walked into the room, and everyone gasped. They were all shocked by seeing her like I was when I saw her at the hospital.

"Sister?" Skylar says in a sad voice.

"Skylar," Zoe says in a rather unpleasant voice.

"So, are you going to tell us how you're alive now?" I repeated.

"It was me, I revived Zoe," Remi announced.

"What?" Everyone gasped.

"Yes, exactly. And I'm here to stay by Remi's side, for as long as she has left." Zoe said boldly.

"Time she has left?" Raelynn said shocked.

"Well, after I was revived, I did some research on angels reviving humans. I came across a page saying that after an angel revives a human, the angel will slowly begin to die. So I'm here to do anything she needs, I am in your debt, Remi." Zoe announces.

"No! I can't handle any more death. Can't little Zoe heal her or something." Raelynn tries to think of something.

"I'm afraid that a life demon can only bring back someone within 24 hours, but Remi has been dead for a long time. Remember, she is an angel." Zoe confessed.

Raelynn started to cry and ran into a hug with Remi. She and mostly all of us were sad to hear what Zoe said. We couldn't believe it, there has been so much death already, and Remi was next. Zoe and Remi, both said that she had only about a day left. We would cherish the last day like it was all of our last days. Raelynn and Remi went somewhere to talk, just the two of them. Then I had something I wanted to ask Zoe.

"Zoe, I have one question I want to ask you."

"Why I didn't come back after I was revived?" Zoe read my mind.

"Yes," I responded.

"Well, when I saw you and Skylar all cuddled up, I saw that I wasn't needed anymore. So I went off and studied this world, I even learned a few spells. Including the soundproof spell, that I used so no one would hear the gunshots in the living room. I also ran into you guys a few times and decided to follow you guys. Then I happened to see that you were sick and that I had an all purposes cure from a guy who gave it to me. I just wanted to help you. Since you saw me, I had no choice but to come back for the time being, to help out Remi. I'm letting you know now, I'm not here for you. I will leave when Remi is dead, and I won't come back."

Before I could even respond to what she said, she walked away. When she said she wasn't coming back, it brought tears to my eyes. It made me so sad, and it made me mad at myself. If Skylar had never kissed me, Zoe probably would have come back. That also means that Skylar and I would have never become a couple, though. Either way would have been a loss. While I was still thinking about this, Raelynn and Remi came back to the room.

"Okay guys, listen to Remi!" Raelynn shouted.

"I didn't tell Raelynn this, but all I want to do before I die is make sure that my niece and nephew are safe. I want them to be in a safe place, unlike this one, and make sure no one can even touch them until they're trained..."

Remi started to choke, and couldn't breathe. Everyone ran towards her and started freaking out.

"Zoe, I thought that we had more time!" I yelled.

"Well, apparently I was wrong."
