Chapter 36 - Chapter thirty six: curing the twins

Heaven bowed to the royalties, that are standing by the door way. "How are you Heaven?" Angel asked. "I am alright" said Heaven. "They... They look more peaceful than the last time they slept here" said Angel. Heaven turned, she folded her arms and smiled,  they do look more peaceful than the last time we came here, she thought. "Have you been taking care of them on your own all this while? Nicholai asked.

"Yes. Our parents left us when we were young. I was just ten years old at that time, and my brothers were five years old". Heaven said without looking at him, she kept staring at her brothers. "How did you do it, on your own?" Angel asked.  "Miracle" Heaven replied simply.  "You were able to prolong their lives for more than sixty years. Which means that you know alot about ice curses, and can even cure one of them" said Nicholai. Heaven didn't reply to that.  "I'm right aren't l?. I'm curious though, which of them can you cure?" He asked.  Heaven let out a little chuckle, "all of them". Everyone looked at her like she was insane. "What do you mean by all of them?" Eugene said almost loudly.  Heaven's eyes started to become teary,  "l can cure all kinds of ice curses there is, except the kind that is killing my brothers. Isn't that hilarious?" She said. Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this,  "but how come?" Xavier asked, still in shock.  "Each of the kinds of ice curses have a very different method of detoxifying them. The method  for detoxifying ice curse of the channels is completely different from the method for detoxifying ice curse of the blood, the lungs and so on. In my quest to finding a method to cure my brothers, l figured out  the methods to detoxify all kinds of ice curses except the ice curse of the heart" Heaven explained. Angel couldn't believe her ears, Hiro will be cured. "But you found ways to suppress it" said Xavier. She nodded, "yes".  "This is unbelievable, Heaven are you sure about what you are saying ?" Nicholai asked. "Of course , l am". 

"You can detoxify all of the ice curses including ice curse of the blood?" Angel asked excitedly. Heaven nodded, wondering what was wrong with her. Angel couldn't hold her excitement, she hugged Heaven so tight. "Thank you , thank you" she repeated continiously. Heaven looked at Lucas, waiting for an explanation. "Angel's mate Hiro, is infected with the ice curse of the blood" he said. Heaven's lips formed O.  "Heaven you would help me right?" Angel  asked as she let go of Heaven.  "Of course, l will help you" said Heaven.  "Okay, once Nicholai is done with your brothers, we will talk about it" said Angel smilingly. "Thanks for your consideration" said Heaven. "Alright then, let's get started. Everyone clear the room as usual" said Nicholai. He mindlinked some doctors and they arrived just in time. "Aren't you coming?" Said Nicholai to Heaven as he entered the ward. "No, l wont be able bear them being operated on. I am sorry" she said politely. Nicholai nodded in understanding. Angel tapped her shoulders and urged her to sit down. Heaven sat down sighing heavily, she was so nervous. "They would be fine, don't worry" said Angel. 

Heaven nodded her head. And before she knows it she was drowning in sleep. After three hours , they came out. Heaven who was sleeping with her head  on Angel's laps, woke up immediately. "How are they doing?, Can l go and see them?", She asked continiously. "They are alright. You can go and see them but make sure you are very quiet" said Nicholai. Heaven nodded and entered the room. She found her brothers sleeping peacefully with no care in the world. She checked their pulses, their ice curses are gone. She smiled,  it is finally gone, she thought. She looked at them as she shed tears of joy.  "Heaven, join me in my office in the next fifteen minutes" said Nicholai. And with that he went back to his office. He told the others not to follow him. Heaven sat down beside her brothers, she wondered how life would  be without them. She knows that the prophecy on her head, will put them in danger sooner or later. But she will also do whatever it takes to protect them. 

Xavier signed for her to come. And she did. "What is it?" She asked. "Have you and Eugene talked about the ritual?" He asked.  "No, we haven't. What ritual?" She asked. Xavier eyes grew big, he looked at Eugene and gave him a ' what the heck'  look. "Why haven't you told her  about it?" He asked him. "Yes, you know that is important that she knows.  Why didn't you tell her?" Said Lucas. Eugene just shrugged his shoulders. Lucas and Xavier sighed and palmed their foreheads in frustration. "We will tell you about it later okay?" They said to Heaven.  "Okay" she said simply. 

After fifteen minutes, she went to Nicholai's office. It is first time she entered Nicholai's office. His office is like one of those country presidents office, you could say that this office is even more expensive.  "I called you here to ask you a question" he began, "take your seat" he said calmly, and she did so. "What are you?" He asked. Heaven was actually expecting that, after all he detoxified her brothers poison, there is no how he won't see that the twins are tribrids. "I am what you see. I'm a demon" she said calmly. "Don't lie to me young lady" he said seriously.  "I am not lying to you. If it is about how my brothers are related to me, then l will tell you. They are my adopted brothers , we are not actually related"  Heaven said  with a straight face. Nicholai looked at her calculatively but couldn't get anything from her facial  expression. He leaned forward, "if l found out that...you are lying to me" he said seriously and stared at her for a while. "I will make you suffer" he completed his sentence. "I don't doubt that" said Heaven.
