20.
'Don't you want to explain some things to me?' Harry asked. He and Dougie were back home and Dougie was applying a nutrition crème to Harry's burnt cheek.
'It's a long story' Dougie said. He didn't feel like explaining things to Harry when he doesn't even know everything.
'I've got time'
Dougie sighed. 'You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway'
'Why not?'
'Because you said so yourself that you don't believe in that kind of things'
Harry frowned. 'When?'
'Doesn't matter.. What were you doing there anyway?'
'I volunteer in the community house after school. I play with the kids, cook or clean.. that kind of stuff. Sometimes I see Danny but he was always been friendly. He gives me a smile or nods or says hey but now.. he was so different. I mean, I understand how you can change the color of your hair but how the hell did he change eye color?'
'I don't know' Dougie said honest. 'Listen Harry, the girl said I have to go to church to get some answers. Will you stay here with Tom while I'm gone?'
'No I'm coming with you!'
'Please Harry, Tom can't be alone right now'
'Fine' Harry said with a sigh. 'But you better tell me everything when you get back. I mean for God's sake they flew!'
Dougie was surprised Harry hadn't brought that part up earlier. If he was Harry it was probably the first thing he would have remembered.
'Promise' Dougie said while walking over to Tom. 'Harry is going to stay with you for a while but I'll be back soon' He said to him. 'Please come back Tom, I need you and I think Danny needs you too. I thinks he needs us to save him this time' He added in a whisper.
Tom kept looking straight ahead and didn't show any signs of him hearing Dougie so Dougie sighed and stood up. With one more look at his brother he stepped outside the door.
As soon as Dougie closed the door Harry took a seat in the long chair. 'I don't know what the hell is going on here but for you to be in this state I'd say it has to be something really bad. You're even worse than when Danny told you he didn't love you.. Unless.. you still do.'
'I never stopped'
Harry followed shocked the whispering voice of Tom to see him staring terrified back at him. A smile appeared on Harry's face but he didn't get to say anything for Tom was first.
'Where's Dougie?' He asked looking around
'Don't you know? He's gone to get some answers'
'Where?' Tom asked. His voice sounding a little worried.
'Church, a girl told him to do so'
'What girl? And what do you know about this?'
Harry sighed. 'Sit back down, you missed a lot mister'
Meanwhile with Dougie..
Dougie stood before the big wooden door. Carefully he pushed it open. With the peeping sounds the hinges made he stepped inside.
With every step he took it was echoed through the big ceiling. He looked around, it had been a while since he's been in a church.
'How may I help you?' An old but friendly voice asked. Dougie looked around and saw the priest dressed in a big white robe.
'umm.. I'm here to ask about Danny'
'Danny?' The man asked frowning. 'Do you mean Daniel, the angel?'
'Yes sir'
'Then you must be Tom'
'No sir that's my brother, I'm Dougie'
'Is'
'I'm sorry?'
'You said is your brother. That means he's still alive and Danny has chosen to sacrifice himself for you two'
'Sacrifice?'
'Yes, God had given him an ultimatum. He either let Tom die and die along with him or he saved Tom and was send to hell. You can guess which one he took'
'Hell? I don't understand'
'He's been turned into a demon by God's brother, the devil'
'But she said the transformation wasn't complete. That means we can still bring him back don't we?' Dougie asked hopeful.
'She? Who's she?'
'I think her name's Vicky'
'Victoria of course. She and Danny had always such close bonds'
'But sir how do we get Danny back?'
'Ever read fairytales Dougie?'
'Yes but what does that..'
'I recommend Snow white or sleeping beauty' The priest answered before Dougie could finish.
Dougie frowned. 'I don't understand'
'That's all I can tell you unfortunately. Remember I am a server of God and by giving you this kind of information will definitely make him angry'
'Right.. I'm sorry to place you in a difficult place sir'
The priest nodded and smiled warmly but added. 'Go now before it is too late'
Dougie didn't waste another second and rushed back home. When he arrived an hour later he ran inside the house yelling.
'Harry, I'm back!'
'Finally' Harry said. 'I don't remember why I'm here but now you're back I can go. Oh by the way you have a visitor. Bye!'
'Wha..?' Dougie whispered frowning. Why was Harry suddenly acting so strange?
'I let him forget. He wouldn't been able to handle it.'
'Vicky' Dougie said while turning around and she nodded with a smile. Dougie was surprised again with her beauty but still she couldn't compete with Danny. Though seeing her made Dougie miss him even more.
'Is he ok? Is Danny ok?' Dougie asked
'Yes, he escaped me. But there's someone here that would love to see you' She said while taking a step aside to reveal Tom standing behind her.
'Can I get a welcome back?' Tom asked with a cheeky smile.
'Tom!' Dougie said with the biggest smile he could make and ran to his brother to hug him. 'I've missed you' he said whispering while tears appeared in his eyes.
I'm sorry, I know it's been a while.. I've been very busy lately but I promise the next one won't take too long.
I really hope you like the chapter!
