Three days have passed since Max came home with that large scar. Three days since Zach showed that he is a threat no matter what. Everyone was getting ready since one thing was clear to all of them. Once the opening will be present to enter the castle they will have to take it immediately. There were still two weeks until the ceremony, but it seemed that wasn't too much time.
- Lazari? You okay?- Liam and Laz were in Liam's room. Unlike Lazari's his room was more organized. Liam had a sword and shield on his wall so he was always ready for combat. He explained to Lazari that his sword was also made by Ren. It was a long sword made out of black stainless steel with a dark oak wood handle and a ruby in the middle of the handle. Liam was proud of it since this was his first sword. The shield had an interesting design on it. On the left side there was the sigil of hell. A red circle with a black star in the middle. On the right side the sigil of heaven. A bright yellow square with a star-shaped hole and a smaller white square in the middle. On the bottom of the shield was a dark black-colored space. Liam explained that the black space is the void.
- Y-yeah I'm fine. I've just been thinking about the whole plan...if it's worth it at all. I mean I dragged you guys into this mess and- As Laz was doubting the should thing Liam cut her off.
- You didn't drag us into this we chose to help remember?- Liam put his hand on Lazari's shoulder. - Plus you are my sister. There is no way in the two realms that I won't help you finally understand who you are- He smiled at Lazari. - this is the least I can do to pay back what you did for me. You saved my life. The least my family and I can do is help you find out who you are. If we do not find anything or you don't like what we find that's fine. Remember that this family is also yours. We will be behind you and we will always help.- He knew that Laz has been doubting herself but he wanted her to know that no matter what the family will always have her back. Lazari couldn't help but smile. She felt a sense of relief after hearing Liam's words, but her doubt didn't leave. Laz knew that she brought the family into danger by telling them about her mission but she couldn't deny that this outcome seemed the best. What if she wouldn't have intervened? Liam and his family probably would've been killed and she would still be in God's castle living a life that was never hers to begin with..under the name Angelica. She would never have had a real-life at all if she didn't act the way she did on the execution day.
- Thanks Liam- She smiled. - But you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. What I did that day wasn't so you guys will help me. I just did what was right.- Laz looked the boy in the eyes.
- You did what was right but you could've died doing so. Not everyone would've taken that risk for a demon in disguise- Liam smiled at his sister.
- Liam! Lazari! Come downstairs!- Lilith shouted.
- coming Mom!- Liam shouted back. Laz was about to shout the same thing but something caught her eye.
- Liam. I will come down later- She looked at her brother.
- Is it her again?- Liam asked. He knew that Leila only talks once Lazari is alone.
- Yep. I will come down later. Tell Mom that I will be down later.- Laz smiled. Liam nodded and walked downstairs. Lazari walked over to the mirror that was next to the shield and sword on the left wall. She sat in front of the mirror, and Leila appeared to mimic her movement. - so...what made you want to talk this time princess?- She asked.
- What's with the sudden doubt? You've been more positive before.- Leila looked Lazari in the eyes.
- I am just...not sure about this whole thing now. What if I won't find anything? What if I won't like what I find?- Laz looked at Leila. - May I...ask you a question princess?- She was hesitant.
- Go on- Leila looked back at her from the mirror. It was like two halves of the same person starting at each other.
- What was...Angelica like?- Lazari looked Leila in the eyes.
- She was a pure soul. She was like a ray of sunshine after a storm. Her wings were white as snow and had a golden color at the end. Her eyes were beautiful purple as if I was looking at an Amethyst- Leila smiled. Her eyes shined slightly as she talked about Angelica and Lazari noticed the happiness and love in her eyes. She couldn't help but smile.
- She sounds like a wonderful person- Laz said. - I wish I could've met her...and that I could've seen the two of you together.- Leila looked at Lazari surprised by her words.
- Thank you Lazari.- Leila smiled. - You should probably go now. Lilith is waiting- The princess then disappeared. Laz stood up and left the room with a smile on her face.
When she got downstairs Lilith and Liam were in the living room while Mark and Max were talking in the kitchen.
- Finished talking with Leila?- Liam looked at Lazari.
- Yep. Didn't get any new information tho. We talked about Angelica- Lazari went over to Lilith and sat next to her. - Where are Evan and Rebbeca?- she asked.
- Playing outside with Yua.- Lilith said calmly as Lazari sat down next to her. Suddenly they all heard Rebbeca scream. Laz raised her head and her eyes met with Liam's. All four of them rushed outside.
Laz felt her blood freeze when she saw what happened. Yua was knocked out near the house and...Rebbeca and Evan were on their knees in front of Zach.
- Ah..the little traitor family finally showed up- Zach spoke.
- Get away from my siblings you asshole!- Liam shouted as Lilith held him back- Laz saw how Max and Mark went over to Yua to check on her.
- Zach..what did you do?- Lazari took a step closer to the demon who put his sword to Rebbeca's neck.
- Nothing yet.- He smirked.
- Put that sword away! She is a kid for the sake of the two realms!- Laz yelled.
- Oh don't worry I will...If you come with me- Zach looked Lazari in the eyes who froze in place. She..really got the family in trouble.
- Laz dont!- Liam called out to her.
- I..- She couldn't move and she couldn't think straight.
- Time is up- With that Zach cut Rebbeca's throat. Laz completely froze in shock. She heard how Lilith let out a scream and how Liam fell to his knees. Zach then moved over the Evan. She saw how Rebbeaca's body turned to dust and disappeared.
- I will come with you!- She suddenly yelled. - I will come with you..just let the kid go- She looked Zach in the eyes. She sounded desperate.
- Very well- Zach pulled the sword away from Evan and pushed him. The boy ran over to Lilith who hugged the poor boy and started crying. Lazari walked over to Liam who put chains on her hands to make sure she will follow her.
- Lazari...- Liam looked at his sister. Laz turned towards the family. She saw the shock and concern on their faces.
- heh...I am sorry that I got you all involved in this- Laz smiled at them as a tear fell down her cheek. She turned towards Zach who started leading her away. She heard Liam scream out her name a few times before she and Zach were far away. She couldn't help but feel guilty. - please..forgive me- she muttered as silent as a whisper. She knew that she was in danger..but she didn't care. She felt like it was time she paid for her sins.
