Just to let you know, I'm spending a lot of time on a book that I want to publish. I'm only on chapter 8 so I need to crack down on it. ^^
The Prophecy of Truth
The Story Continues…
Hours later and the silver haired Princess, Sam, and Rowan found themselves back at the Witwicky household. It was hard to believe the bat demon's story, but strangely enough Elliett couldn't help but trust him for some reason. It was the same sort of feeling she got when she had been 'introduced' to Avene for the first time.
"Sam, could you please explain the situation to your parents while I go pack our clothes? We don't have that much time." the silver haired girl requested, batting her eyelashes at her boyfriend. She really didn't need to; the brunette boy would have gladly done anything if it were to help his girlfriend. He couldn't, however, keep a glare from forming as he watched the retreating forms of Elliett and Rowan ascend the staircase.
"Mom! Dad! Where are you?!" he exclaimed, making his way to the kitchen. A muffled reply from the backyard met his ears. Taking a deep breath – his mother could be a little weird when she was surprised – he opened the back door. He stood there for a moment, taking in the atmosphere. After all, who knows how long they would be gone.
"Sammy! Where've you been? With Elle, no doubt?" his mother asked, pecking her son on the cheek. She looked around for the familiar silver haired girl, but frowned when she couldn't find her.
"Where's Elle?" she asked, pushing her son away from her in curiosity. Her son took a deep breath, motioning to the chairs that were behind the red haired woman.
"Mom…You know Elle's a demon, right?" Sam asked, running a hand through his disheveled hair. He had been doing that every couple of moments since he and the others had gotten back. Bumblebee was sitting in the front drive; he had not been happy when Roman had said that it wouldn't be likely that he would be able to accompany them to the Makai. It all had to do with staying under the radar or something.
By then Sam's father, Ron, had come over to sit next to the mother and son duo. He wiped a dirty hand across his face, consequently leaving a smudge, and was listening intently his Son's conversation. The brunette boy continued when the red haired woman nodded.
"Well, apparently demons live in this alternate world type thing and her dad's trying to kill her. Another demon, a guy named Rowan, came and said he was a part of the resistance or something. They need her help to defeat her dad and there's no way that I'm going to let her go by herself…so we might be away from home for a while." The brunette boy completed his story; when he mentioned the bat demon's name his mother noticed that a dark expression passed over his face.
"Sam, you're not afraid that Elle's going to fall for this 'Rowan' because he's a demon, are you?" she asked, moving over and wrapping an arm around her son's shoulders. His father didn't say anything, but you could blatantly see that he was interested in the conversation. Sam didn't say anything, but he lowered his head and bit his lip. To tell the truth, Sam had been feeling like Elliett had only been interested in him because she had no memory of the demon world. She didn't remember any experiences with other demons, and now that there was one in her bedroom…wait!
"I gotta go!" he exclaimed, jumping up and tearing through the backdoor to the house. His mother only sat there with a small smile on her face. She knew that her son was deeply in love with the silver haired female demon; all she had to do was wait until he gathered the courage to ask her to marry him. Of course, she expected that the two would wait for a few years until they were able to get married, but she was excited for the prospect of marriage!
Meanwhile, Elliett was bustling around in her room for a bag to carry her clothes. Rowan had insisted that he could pack for her, but the silver haired girl didn't want him anywhere near her under things. She supposed that Sam was nearly done explaining things to his parents and tried to hurry up, but the searing gaze that Rowan was giving her unnerved her just a tad bit.
"So…Rowan…you're a bat demon, right?" the silver haired girl asked as she opened her closet to gather more of her clothes. The bag she had was halfway full; her Kitsune ears twitched as she listened out for footsteps on the stairs.
"Yes, Princess. I am half bat demon, one fourth darkness mage, and one fourth water mage." The dark haired demon said, kneeling on one knee as he watched the quick progression of clothing.
"My Princess. Why don't you wear the clothing of the Youkai? Surely our outfitters can find something suitable for you to wear until they are able to make you a new wardrobe." Rowan asked, tilting his head to the side. He didn't understand that the silver haired girl had no memory of the Makai, thus having no memory of what the clothing of normal Youkai looked like.
"I would like to know what 'normal' clothing looked like, Rowan, but I'm afraid that I can't remember what anything in the Makai looks like at the moment." She snapped, glaring at the darker haired bat demon. Neither of them was aware that Sam was walking up the stairs at that moment.
Sam hesitated outside of his girlfriend's room, wondering if it would be too impolite if he didn't knock on Elliett's door. He had run to his room and packed his bag; it was messy, but he really didn't need to pack that much. The brunette boy froze, however, when he heard the two people inside the room start to talk about him.
"My apologies, Princess. I do wonder what your relationship to that boy is. You are over seven hundred years old; you need to marry." Rowan said, as he continued kneeling. Sam peered in through the slightly open doorway. He glared at the bat demon for at the same time Elliett whirled around, glaring at the hybrid demon.
"Don't you dare say things like that to me! Avene told me the reason that I fled the Makai. It was so that I could find my mate! And you know what?! Sam is my mate! And you will do well to treat him with the respect that he deserves!" the silver haired girl exclaimed, amber eyes narrowing as she glared at the demon.
"I-I a-apologize P-Princess!! Forgive me for being ignorant of the situation!" Rowan cried, flinging himself at the silver haired girl's feet. Her glare only intensified as he cowered before her, and for a few short seconds Sam actually thought that she was going to strike the cowering form below her. Rowan was begging on his knees to be forgiven whereas Elliett's hands were clenching and unclenching by her side.
Sam was able to let out the breath he didn't know he was holding when she let out a sigh, kneeling down in front of the cowering bat demon.
"Rowan, I do not mean to be harsh with you, but, believe me, I have suffered as much as you have. Sam is my only escape and I need him now more than ever." She said seriously as she stood, finishing her packing in a few short and jerky moves. The dark haired male kneeled beside her once again, spouting words of thanks for being forgiven. It was then that the brunette teen decided to make himself known.
"Elle? Is everything alright in here?" he asked as he knocked on the door. The silver haired girl smiled widely as she turned, bag in hand, to smile at her boyfriend. She planted a kiss on his lips and embraced him in a tight hug, burying her face into his jacket.
"Everything's fine, Sam. Let's go say goodbye to your parents and Bumblebee." She said, sighing as she took her boyfriend's hand. Together they descended the stairs, after Rowan had grabbed their bags from them, and halted in the door to the backyard.
"Judy, Ron. I want to thank you for letting me stay here and I wanted to say that we'll be back as soon as we can." The silver haired girl said, bending down to kiss Judy's cheek. The red haired woman pulled her into a tight embrace and started to cry.
"Oh no! Now I'm crying! This sucks!" she exclaimed as she laughed with Elliett. Ron came over and they shared a big group hug with Sam watching from the sidelines. The revving of an engine caught their attention as Bumblebee drove around back. After making sure that nobody was in the vicinity he shifted, transforming into his bipedal mode.
"I can't believe you're leaving me behind." He said, for once not using the radio. He had regained the use of his vocal processors, but the yellow bot still liked to use the radio to do most of his talking. The silver haired girl and her boyfriend just laughed at him while he crossed his arms in a fit of fake anger.
"Oh, come here, Bee. You know we'll miss you. Who knows, maybe we'll need your help and have to come back?" Sam asked as the yellow Autobot trudged forward and leaned down, crooning contently as Elliett and Sam wrapped their arms around his neck. The silver haired girl then graced Bumblebee with a short kiss on his cheek. If Autobots could blush then he would be as he pulled back, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"You two better be alright when you come back. I'm your guardian; I'm supposed to protect you. I can't do that if I'm not there, you know." the Autobot scout scolded as he wagged a thick finger at the two humanoids.
"Perhaps it's time to go, my Princess?" Rowan asked as the two finished saying goodbye to the large Autobot. Sam nodded his head as he wrapped both of his arms around his girlfriend, sending a silent look of goodbye to both of his parents. They would understand.
The dark haired bat demon closed his eyes and concentrated, letting the energy of the familiar darkness consume him. The Golden Fox King overlooked the fact that the two worlds were connected by one thing: Shadows. The shadows were how the darkness mages and elementals travelled; they were a dangerous bunch, but usually kept to themselves.
As Rowan concentrated on the spell used to open the doorway to the darkness, he started to glow a rich shade of violet. His hair started to whip around his head as if a soft wind were stirring. The small group knew better, however. Elliett was not controlling anything.
Finally, the bat demon reached out his hand, mumbling the spell needed to cross over underneath his breath. Sam tightened his arms around the silver haired girl's waist and closed his eyes; he wasn't used to the fact that he was going to travel through shadows. Elliett threw Sam's parents one last comforting smile as she took Rowan's outstretched hand, and they were gone. They had sunk into the shadows of Ron's yard.
Judy let out a sob, burying her face in her hands as Ron wrapped his arms around his wife. She, in turn, buried her face into her husband's chest, not wanting to believe that her son has to fight yet another evil war. She just had to be strong; if she believed then everything would turn out alright.
