Camerone:
After a long hard day, I stop by Scarlet's room for the room for the first time since Elli Bear and I's conversation. I am worried about how well Scar will be able to read me knowing that we both know when either of us are hiding something. I walk into the room and see Stella is still here and I see James in a chair watching TV with the girls.
I went to Scarlet's bed to see that she appears to be in and out of sleep. "Hey Scar Bear, I just wanted to check on you just before I go home. How are you feeling?" I give her a kiss on her cheek.
"I am doing ok Bubba my head is killing me and this stupid feeding tube is irritating me." She gives me a pouty face and I can't help but laugh at her expression.
"Well sis you have to keep it in place for now until the doc says you are free of it. Speaking of the doc do we have any new information?" I look at Stella not sure if Scar will remember anything considering she is struggling that Jace had to go home.
Stella nods at me before speaking, "Her doctor came in not too long ago. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad but its looking like she will be having another MRI tomorrow. On a good note, her doctor also said that she seems to be doing much better, she actually said if she keeps improving, they may remove her feeding tube tomorrow. It's exciting news, it gives me hope that she may be able to come home soon." Stella has a huge smile on her face at the thought of Scar going home, in turn it is making me smile and feel more hopeful also.
"This is wonderful news! How has she been otherwise? Anything about Jace? I know yesterday she needed to be reminded every hour that he had to go home for work..." I prepare for the worse possible answer. Still shakes her head no.
"She actually seems to have had some improvement in the way of her memory today. She actually asked for her phone today so that she could call Jace. He didn't answer so she left a voicemail for him. He ended up calling back about an hour later ad she hadn't forgotten that she had called and left him a voicemail. She did cry though I can tell that she really misses him." She gives me a sad smile. I nod at her in agreement, and I look at Scar to see she is fast asleep. I kiss her forehead this time trying not to wake her considering that she needs her sleep.
"Are you gonna stay with her tonight, Elli? I am getting really tired and I gotta get home to sleep because I work early tomorrow." I give her a sleepy smile and wait patiently for her to answer.
"I'll stay as long as they let me. The last time the nurse came in she said that visiting hours end in about 3 hours and that was about 30 minutes ago. Go home and get some rest, James and I will be here till visiting hours are over and then we will be back as soon as visiting hours are back open. I really don't like to leave her here alone and not just that, but I really don't like to leave her here in the hospital." She gives me a hug and goes to sit down next to Scarlet again.
"Thank you, Elli, and James, I truly appreciate you guys. It means so much to me that she isn't alone when I am working and with Jace gone. I will see you guys tomorrow have a goodnight."
"Goodnight Cam see you tomorrow." I turn and walk out the door and slowly make my way to my truck. Even though Stella is there I am still struggling with leaving Scar in the hospital. I am so tired I am tempted to sleep in the truck here in the parking lot of the hospital. I consider this thought for a few minutes, and I decide that I should probably go home to sleep because I am also in desperate need of a shower, and it is not very professional to work and be stinky.
I drive home carefully knowing how tired I am and acknowledging just how late it is. Once I get home, I sluggishly make my way inside and get myself into the shower knowing that if I don't do it right away that I will have to get up early to shower before work. I shower slowly not able to push myself faster than a turtle pace feeling as though even moving this speed is too much for my body. I crawl out of the shower and put on a clean pair of boxers and collapse on my bed, as soon as my head hits the pillow I fall into a deep sleep.
"Camerone, please listen carefully. It is imperative that you take my words very seriously."
"Who are you? What kind of dream is this?" I am so confused this dream feels so real, but I don't remember waking up and I sure as hell do not recognize this place. It's like some big meeting room but the lights are too bright and oddly there is no one else here besides me and this scruffy looking man.
"Camerone that is not at all important right now. Now pay attention, my name is Castiel I am a brother to Angel, well a brother of sorts. You need to be careful; I don't know what is to happen or when, but it will not be good. You really need to watch over your sisters and ore then anything you need to keep the 3 of you safe." I feel my blood turn to ice in my veins, the look on his face cause me to feel pure fear and panic. The look screams at me to take him seriously the urgency in his look alone frightens me so much I feel my knees begin to shake.
"How do you know Jace? He has never once mentioned a brother...Wait...are you the Castiel? The one who spared his life when his parents died?" My body begins to shake with anxiety. 'If this Castiel is Jace's Castiel this cannot mean anything good. Jace told me that Castiel only appears when something bad has already happened. He gives me a look of confusion and his words are in my mind, but his lips aren't moving.
'You aren't supposed to know any of that. However, if my brother trusts you enough to share our secret then I trust you. I believe that you are a good person and will keep our secret. Stella and Scarlet need you; their powers are growing rapidly, and they will need someone who will be able to keep them safe as they learn to control them. You are Angel will have your hands full trying to protect them and keep yourselves safe. There is a lot of bad coming and it is coming quick, the twins are wanted by some very dangerous people, and they must not get to them.'
My heart is pounding in my ears as fear floods through me like the air in my lungs so many damn questions so little answers and most of all fear. What does he mean powers? Who the hell is so bad and what the hell do they want with my sisters?
"I've got to go before they find out that I have warned you. Remember what I said y'all are in danger."
Just like that he disappears from my mind and the room is gone also and now I am just standing in a room of black...before I have a chance to call out to him or try to stir myself into a conscious mindset everything fades away quickly, and I fall into a deep dreamless sleep.
