Juliet's eyes flickered and slowly adjusted seeing the mummy right in front of her then looked to see Aaron holding her. The feel of his hands on her legs was warm yet also soft and loving. "Quiet Juliet, please,'' Aaron whispered to her.
"Ah, so you brought her back, did you. Your brother told me you would, for the sake of Alex and your unborn child. It would be a shame if you didn't. I told him differently. So you've made your choice, I take it.''
"Yes I have, I decided to side with my brother. It's unwise not to, don't you agree.''
"Yes I do, cause he gave me some back up just in case you did something foolish. Now come out here you Minions of Darkness.'' It was only two people, one was of a burly man with short dirty brown hair and a woman with a finely shaped body with long flowing dark brown hair. The two were hardly recognizable but Aaron knew who they were right away. "No, how is it possible.''
"I will say that your brother can be very persuasive, HAHAHAHA." The woman soon spoke in a very harsh yet raspy voice. "Hello Aaron, how's my daughter. Is she dead yet ?" Soon jerry spoke in the very same tone." Oh Mr. Fauston you should me, that I can now get a chance to kill those spoiled brats I call my kids, I love it.'' The mummy soon put his arm out in front of the Russo's.
"Hold back, first Aaron stick in the sarcophogus up there.''
"Yes I will." Juliet felt pain in he rleg from Aaron holding her. H esoon stood her up and whispered softly in he rear. "I'm sorry Juliet, forgive me. Please trust me, eberything will be just fine, I swear.'' She blinked at him as he placed her inside and closed it on her. He soon let out a sigh and turned around to face them.
"Now Aaron, pledge you alliance to your brother and me for it is me and him to rule this world together.'' Aaron soon found his opening as he kneeled down on one knee. "You sure are confident, but what makes you think it will be you and him, now that I have sided too. He is after all MY brother, how do you know if he's not using you to get to me. That could have been his plan all along."
"I think I know your own brother. I am not stupid you know. I wasn't born yesterday."
"So you think or do you know. You can't have it both ways. I know my brother better than you do, ask him if you dare challenge to.'' Soon Justin,Max,Mason and Alex showed up standing behind Aaron several feet away. "I was wondering when you brats would show up,'' The mummy spoke to them. Aaron soon turned his head slightly to see them. No it was too soon for them to show up now, they weren't ready yet. Aaron had no choice now, but to take down their parents then the mummy. "Prove your alliance Aaron, destroy those meddling kids and bring me their wands.'' Aaron clenched his hands tight into fists and soon stood up. "NO, it's not my fight send their parents to do it. I know for a fact they could never hurt them, they love their parents to much. "
"AH, good choice. Kids bs. the parents. You truly have no heart, good decision. I couldn't have done it better my self.'' The mummy soon put his arm down. "Go destroy your children for us.'' Jerry and Theresa looked to the mummy then their kids. "Yes, my master.'' Max,Alex and Justin pulled out their wands on their parents. "What are you gonna do son, cast a spell on us.'' Jerry and Theresa looked to each other while Mason took the courage and decided to stand between them and their kids. They went after Mason first and held him down. "Such a weakling you are, stay still and you won't get hurt. " Aaron found the mummy's weak spot and conjured a chrome dagger like sword behind his back and with a quick swipe of it had the mummy defeated and it's red jeweled eyes now turned blue, falling out of the head. Aaron then went up to the sarcophogus releasing Juliet from it. "Are you alright, JUliet."
"Yes i'm fine but look the sun is about to rise, I won't be for long.''
"It's a long story but you'll be fine, your mortal now. Sunlight is no longer a problem for you.''
"What ? Then why do I still look young, i should either look my real age or even be dead. 2,193 years is too long for anyone to still be alive. "
"Like I said, it's a long story which I don't have time to explain right now. If you would hand me that blue stone, would you please.'' She picked up the blue stone while he picked up the other one. "Wasn't these the mummy's eyes?"
"Yes they were, now I might be able to reverse what my brother did to them. Jerry, Theresa you are now under my control, now look at me.'' They soon released Mason and Alex went up to Mason's side. "Are you alirght, that was so brave of you."
"Yeah Alex, I'm fine. I'm just glad you're not hurt. and I lied that necklace I gave you doesn't run on batteries it's a true love necklace. Whoever puts it on the person you give it to shows how you feel about that person. " It soon lit up, showing Mason how she felt about him, that she loved him enough. She soon took it off and handed it back to Mason. "Don't you want to put it around me, Alex ?"
"Oh sure, okay.'' Alex placed it on Mason seeing how brightly it shined. He loved her more than she thought. Soon a thought occured to her, how brightly would it shine if she placed it on Aaron or if he placed it on her. She had to know, just had to. Mason soon handed the necklace back to her. Soon Alex ran up the old, cracked stone staircase and stood beside Aaron. "What is it Alex ? Is something wrong ?"
"Nothing is wrong, but can I ask a favor of you.''
"Sure, what is it?"
"Can I put something on you."
"OKay, but why?"
"It's something I just really want to know, it's important to me.'' She placed the necklace over Aaron's head, resting up against his chest and the shaped heart burned brighter than the sun that now hung in the sky. Mason looked up to Alex, squinting his eyes trying to see what she was doing beside that other boy. " Oh my goodness, I have never seen that shine so bright before," Mason said to himself. Juliet soon ran up to Justin's side . "Isn't the morning sun light beautiful, Justin?"
"No not really. It's not as beautiful as you are.'' Justin soon thought of the ritual that was performed by him, Alex and Aaron. Since Juliet was mortal now, she didn't have any Vampire weaknesses anymore, same with Mason and his were-wolf abilities. "Now put the necklace on me.''
""Alright love, but what will it prove.''
"Oh just do it."
"Okay, take it easy beautiful." Aaron took off the necklace and stood behind her, lifting her hair to the side over her shoulder and ermoved the clasp than clasped it on around her neck, and pulled her hair back. When she turned around the shaped heart couldn't have shined brighter when it was on him but it did and soon melted away. "See, it's suppose to be us. Mason told me when we was on our date that it was destiny that brought me and him together. But for me and you, I believe it to be fate. You can't deny it."
"You're right, I can't deny it but it's you thats got to make a decision. Not me, not Mason. I'm sorry but I can't let you make a decision like that. Give Mason a chance to love you back, you owe him that much."
"You're right Aaron, I do. It's too hard for me when I know my heart truly belongs to you. I could never give it to Mason like I do you. I just can't do that ." Aaron put his arms around her and before they could kiss, Juliet interrupted. "I hate to rain on your parade but what of those two statues over there."
"Sorry Juliet, I just had a few things on my mind right now. Alex i'll need your help. Juliet would you give her the stone in your hand. " Juliet handed it to Alex. "Could you hold up the stone, Alex.'' She held it up as high as she could. "Like this ?"
"Yes, now concetrate alright.'' Aaron moved up closer to her, now making her concetrate on the stone, making it glow brightly as well his half and two beams of blue light shot at the two Russo's. Soon their eyes opened and all evil thought was gone. Jerry and Theresa slowly and surely regained normal consciousness and hugged their children. When Alex lowered her arm and turned her head, Aaron was gone. Everything was back the way it should be, well normal as it could be for the Russo's. All except Alex's Heart for it was truly, broken for the first time in her life and it made her want to end it.
