"Christian Morningstar."
Walking down the many steps he walks towards me, his handsome angelic features darkened by the stress of time. His mundane form not threatening his smile a clear indication he anticipated my arrival. I saw the shadows in his eyes but unfortunately I did not have that much time for a proper family reunion. Dressed in a classic suit his black hair a contrast to my darker but his eyes are as colored as mine.
"Father. Did you know mom is still alive?"
After a brief hug still standing in the middle of his home.
"No. I woke up in a hell… Those many years ago mourned the loss of my son and wife."
His eyes darkened. Shaking his head he walked to a table nearby and downed an amber liquid.
"I think she is involved with the assassin attacks."
Lucifer chuckled at his son's madness for he knew Alexandria purity would never lead her to kill. Even if she was involved, the first thing she would have done is hunt down her precious son. This was still his father's fault for choosing projects and having children with different woman over his own children.
"Her feathers scattered the crime scenes and my fated saw her in some dimension. Father her feathers are darkening."
A grave look crossed my sons face, he was hoping I would piece everything together.
"Did you bring evidence?"
Holding out a feather in mystic beauty now tainted, holding it he felt her energy. After all this time there was no way, I could ever forget my loves energy.
"I think she wants to fall to be reunited with you. I just don't understand why she's encouraging the war?"
My mother was damming herself, I don't think she would ever want the destruction. Is that the reason she leaves her feather? Does she want to get caught?
"Listen dad, I don't have a lot of time here. I ask you give me time to find her… no war till then, please."
Seemingly to have a lot in mind he nodded, everyone agreed something amiss about this. Whatever it was he would find out, to save his mother and punish whatever being involved with this.
"You said fated?"
I laughed boisterously as I spent my final minutes in hell, reconnecting with my father. He did not bring up unrealistic amounts of responsibility and I was completely grateful for that.
I was not ready to lose my father again, I tried to hold on to our time together but I felt myself get pulled towards the light. My heart skipping made me gulp in a panic and felt my eyes roam the crescent room. A wolf barged in the room surrounded by my Pannak, I shot up anger flooding my blood at the werewolf's level of disrespect.
"Zoe is gone."
My world shattered I still felt her energy but it was fading as if moving to a great distance, their relationship is not strong enough to allow him to track wherever she might have gone. Roaring, everything that was not nailed down levitated and I allowed my anger break everything it could in sight.
A young woman unknown to him stood beside the dammed wolf her eyes revealing the fact she's a witch. Her urgency calmed him a tad bit because she knew something that would lead me to her.
"Hanna."
She introduced herself holding out her hand, Taylor growled when our hands connected and it came to me.
Zoe crying over the body of a lifeless girl, changing to her being surrounded but hungry demon and before he could see the rest she pulled away. Standing closer to Taylor, I saw their hands connecting and I wondered for the first time… what the fuck I miss?
"We need to hurry."
Hanna rushed, nodding in understanding I faced my family and they nodded. Hanna explained the location, around where in Pennsylvania, the fastest way to get there and the she came as quick as she could.
The young witch that had to be a close friend of Zoe or fate forbid the damned wolfs destined mate. The point is that she created a portal to which we all entered following the route to the Centre County. This is the place where the demon in charge marked his spot and laid there completely weakened and I more saw than felt her life force fading.
Everything else happened so fast… It felt like the world was twisting and working on its axis's, everything moved as if in slow motion. Taylor shifted, his Pannak attacked destroying demons with soul weapons manufactured in hell and cursed with Apollo's wrath. A demon somehow appeared his sharp claws rippling before a wolf appeared saving his life and separating the demons head from the body. There was a moment I thanked him, used no words but expressed my gratitude somehow he got and went back to the fight and I ran to my fated.
Killing what dared come between me and Zoe. Minutes later silence descended and the demon I saw murder Zoe's parents held Zoe, threatening her life. Shrieking in laughter she dropped her body and I called upon the dark abilities lacing my blood, giving her a taste of her own medicine. When she realized what was being done she cried out in anguish giving her what karma failed to.
I destroyed every single piece of her and used the soul sword to end her existence when she realized she fucked up. The world fading, I tried to give her energy but she was not strong enough to take it. Hopeless I once more lashed out my exhausted power facing her before darkness overtook me too.
