Clarissa's POV

"I had a really great time last night," I told Dillon when we were walking back to the cave. After we left the cave, Dillon took me to a movie called the Proposal. (AN: Seen the movie; it is great. I saw it a couple days ago, and sometimes I thought I would die laughing. It is a chickflick, but it's more like a comedy. I recommend that you go if you haven't seen it.) It was a hilarious movie, and I loved it. Sandra Bullock is a great actress from what I saw in that movie. Ryan Reynolds seems like a great actor also. Then he took me out to a romantic diner, and we were able to eat outside. It was such a beautiful sunset to watch. I would never get that kind of view from where I use to live. After that, we went to his apartment. You don't really need to know about that part really.

"I did too," he stated. "I'm glad to have you back in my life, Clarissa. I'd be lost without you really."

"Same here, Dillon," I whispered.

"I don't know how it was for you though," Dillon stated. "I didn't even remember you until you kissed me, but you remembered me all the way. It's been three years, and you had to be there throughout all of it. I can't imagine the pain that you felt."

"It was a little painful, I'll admit," I told him, "But I always was happy whenever I thought about you because I always thought you were safe no matter what. I also asked Dartemis to watch over you whenever he can."

"I'm glad you did," he whispered. "I don't know what I would do if I didn't be looked after by him. He just is a little temperamental sometimes."

"He's also protective of the people he cares about," I said. "Not like my mother."

"He's a great uncle, isn't he," Dillon asked.

"The best really," I answered. I was telling the truth. Dartemis has done a lot for me throughout my lifetime, and I don't know how I could ever repay him.

"Are you ready to go, Clarissa," Arkarian questioned when Dillon and I walked into the cave.

"Where exactly," I asked.

"To go take a visit to Marduke," Matt stated. I just then saw three sledgehammers behind them.

"I'm ready when you are really," I said going to grab one of them, but Matt stopped me.

"I haven't heard what you are going to plan to do, and I'd like to know what is going on," Matt stated. "So could you tell me now."

"Later, Matt," I answered. "I have to talk to some people before I can talk to the others and you."

"Why so," he questioned.

"In due time, you will know the answer," I stated. "You've got the rest of eternity to figure that out, Matt. I don't think that Dartemis or Neriah are going to kill you, and I am certainly not going to kill you. I do not believe that Tyrant is an immortal, so he can't kill you. You have nothing to be upset about really. You have your whole life ahead of you with your loved one, while others aren't so lucky. I'm going to spend as much time as I can with him in this dimension as I can."

"What do you mean this dimension," Dillon questioned.

"What? You don't want to see me in your afterlife," I asked.

"You can't die to see me, Clarissa," Dillon protested.

"I don't have to," I stated. "All I have to do is go live with Dartemis, and I can see you as much as I want when you die."

"If that's what you want," he said. I could see that he was starting to think about my idea, and I wouldn't be surprised if he liked it.

"Are we ready to go," Matt asked. I nodded. "I'd like to do this before sunset, if you don't mind."

"I'd like to start this now really," I stated. "But I don't have any wings."

"I got them, and I'm an immortal," Matt scoffed. "You get them no matter what."

"My mother took them when I was a little child," I stated. "She didn't like the idea of me escaping away from her, especially if I made her mad."

"What's the worst thing that you've done to your mother," Arkarian asked.

"I messed with all of her equipment on time travel," I answered. "It took her a couple of weeks to figure out how you were supposed to put it back together."

"When was that," Matt questioned.

"Just before I was put into the cabin," I stated. "She didn't think that I was evil enough to do anything, so she decided to use me as a person to find spies. No one can block me whenever I touch them. She didn't want me to die, but she also didn't want to be of any us to anyone else."

"How did you get here," Matt questioned. "And where is this cabin that you talk about?"

"In another dimension," I answered. "I got here through a portal. It was the only way."

"You made one," Arkarian inquired. I nodded.

"Are we ready to go yet," I questioned. I was getting impatient with us just standing here and talking. They both nodded.

"Let's go this way," Arkarian suggested. We went through the cave's long tunnel, and we finally stopped at a door after about five to ten minutes. It was a doorway into the forest.

"Which way," I questioned.

"We're almost there," Arkarian stated. It took us about five minutes to get up the hill since we were holding the sledgehammers. It was a very deep climb. I didn't think that it would take so long. "Right through those trees." I ran ahead of them, adrenaline running through my veins.

Once I burst through the trees, I saw his stony body, still sitting where they had left him before. Anger rushed through my body as I thought of my past and how involved Marduke was in it.

"Ready," Arkarian asked when Matt and him walked through the trees.

"I've been ready for this my whole entire life," I stated. "It's payback time." I took the sledgehammer and hit the top of his head. It chipped. I continuously hit Marduke, and soon Matt and Arkarian joined in. We made him crumble into pieces.

"What now," Matt questioned after we were done.

"Now, I need to talk to Ethan and Isabel," I stated as I headed back.

"What do you want with my sister," Matt inquired.

"I just need to talk to her," I said trying to keep Matt calm.

"She'll be in good hands, Matt," Arkarian stated. "It's only going to be a talk." We went home silently. We didn't really have anything to talk about. It was so uncomfortable, and it was mostly because Matt hated or resented me. I knew that he didn't trust me because I was Lathenia's daughter. I was expecting it, but I was surprised at how many of them showed that they trusted me. I thought that they wouldn't have, and I didn't expect to see Dartemis in this dimension. Life is full of unexpected surprises I guess.

"How was your job," Dillon questioned as we came back into the cave. He had waited for me to be with him again. He was too nervous to leave me alone, and he didn't want to either.

"It is done, and now for the second part," I replied. I went in search of Isabel, and I soon found her. "Isabel?"

"Yeah," she questioned as she walked towards me.

"Could I," I asked, putting my head towards her forehead. She just nodded. I only did a quick search because I wanted to know how well her abilities were for my plan to work. She was very talented at her work from what I saw. I was surprised when I saw that she had to rebuild Arkarian's kidneys. That is quite an impressive feature.

"That was interesting," she stated as I let go of her.

"You have a very good talent," I complimented her as I bowed a little.

"Why did you need to know about my talent," she questioned.

"I'd like to talk to Ethan and you at the same time for that," I stated.

"He's probably at home right now," she informed me. "Do you want to go now?" I nodded.

"Can I come too," Dillon questioned.

"I'm sorry," I said before giving him a kiss, "But I have to talk to them privately."

"You're not going to…" Dillon asked as Isabel and I walked out of the cave. I could tell that he was thinking about my second power, but I wasn't going to think of the consequence right now. I was going to have to prepare though for it when the time comes.

"What was Dillon going to ask," Isabel questioned.

"It's nothing," I stated. We walked in silence throughout the rest of the trip to Ethan's. We didn't know what to talk about really. It was a little uncomfortable, but I could manage it.

Once we made it to Ethan's house, Isabel knocked on the door. "Why do you do that," I questioned.

"One Earth, it is a custom to knock on the door so the owner of the house knows that someone is here to see them. We do not just walk in unless it is our own living space. We'll knock on Ethan's bedroom door when we get up there too," Isabel explained. I nodded. Shaun came a second later. "Is Ethan here?"

"He's up in his room like always," Shaun sighed. He seemed depressed by that fact. I hope that I can make Ethan happy like he was before.

We quickly walked to his room, and Isabel knocked before entering. Ethan was just sitting there on the bed, looking at nothing in particular. I could see why they were so worried about him.

"Hi Ethan," Isabel greeted him. He didn't pay any attention to her at all. I went over to him, and I sat down in front of him. He looked at me for a brief second. In that second, I bowed to him.

"May I," I questioned as I raised my hand to his forehead. I looked, and I watched how Rochelle died. It was sad for me, but Ethan's pain was much worse. I couldn't believe what had happened. I wanted to go back up there and kill Marduke again for what he has done, but I can't. I never will be able to.

"What was that about," Isabel asked after a couple of minutes of not touching Ethan.

"Ethan, do you know my abilities," I questioned. He shook his head. "I have the ability to read people by touch. That is my first ability. My second and most cherished ability is that I can bring people back to life, and that means that Rochelle can live again if you let me."
