(Chapter 21)

(Avery's POV)

We were standing in the Force's living room, Taylor, Mimi and I. Taylor was holding my hands, I couldn't keep the tears in, they came flooding out of my eyes.

"Avery..."

Taylor almost choked on his own tears, as he pulled me in for a hug. I held onto him for dear life, sobbing like a child. I was shaking from all the overwhelming emotions that I was feeling. Taylor's lips met mine, he kissed me with so much love, so much passion, yet it also felt like he was kissing me for the last time. However much he kept telling me that he was returning, I knew that he knew deep down that he was never sure if he was, if we would ever see each other again, if I ever would walk down the aisle, if I ever get to hold him again.

"I love you, so much...please come home soon."

"Avery...you are my life, I will return, I promise you. I promise to return so we will be married, I promise you I will not leave you for so long, I love you."

I kissed him again, before falling into his arms one last time, I reluctantly pulled away, I turned my attention to Mimi. Her eyes glistened a little, reaching out to touch her hand she pulled away before my hand even reached hers.

"Don't touch me!"

"Stay safe Mimi."

I turned to look at my love, my life, my Taylor.

"Take care of her."

"Of course, my love."

Wiping my eyes with the tissue in my hand, I stepped back a few steps as I watch Taylor hold out his arm for Mimi, she clung to it tightly, both were dressed moderately, in venator uniform, with backpacks. Taylor had his eyes fixed on me.

'Sariel I love you.'

That is what he sent as he and Mimi started to disappear, my left hand fell onto my stomach as I felt a slight pain, a pain on my abdomen. A pain signifying a loose of something precious.

(Mimi's POV)

I was watching them, it was like a chick flick but this was for real. They were so in love, they would never know if they would see each other again. Elias and Sariel don't deserve that, even if I don't like her, no one deserves to be parted form the one they love. Like I am from Kingsley, I could feel tears brimming in my eyes, I was trying to hold it back, I can't cry, I can't let them know I was crying for them, Mimi Force, crying for someone else? Never. Yet I was hurting inside for them, they were true bond mates true soulmates, he was doing this for me I am risking his life.

Avery reached out for my hand; I swiftly pulled it away and glared at her.

"Don't touch me."

Why was I being so horrible? She has been nothing but nice to me, Taylor I can get along with but Avery, I guess I envy her, she is beautiful, she certainly beats that Van Alen slut. Taking Taylor's arm, I held onto it tightly, he was rather gorgeous too, not my type but still good looking, him with his brown hair and hazel eyes, he was such a gentle giant, no one likes him, no one got to know him. We were both dressed in venator uniform; I had tied my luscious blonde hair into a high ponytail. Everything around us starts to disappear, I watched Avery fade away, and then we arrived at a beach, we were by the rocks, it was a good thing we were wearing boots. It was twilight, there on the beach was Kingsley, he hadn't changed much, but the girl, the girl had chocolate brown hair, with green eyes, the green eyes of the original angel. It was me; I always thought my eyes were my best features. I rarely changed my eye colour.

"Why did you bring me here? I thought we were going to a future without Schuyler."

"We will, but I wanted to show you your future, who your true bond mate is."

Nodding, I turned my attention back to the couple. It was beautiful; there was a slight sea breeze. I or rather my future self was wearing a beautiful white maxi dress, Kingsley had put a lily into my beautiful curly brown hair, he was barefooted and wearing a white shirt, that was slightly opened showing his chest and beige shorts.

"Sarah, I..."

He was never any good at telling me how he felt, he would just joke all the time, then again, I couldn't admit how I felt about him, no...Not till it was too late. Just say it woman! Tell him you love him.

'Milo...I ...Love you."

"Azrael...My beautiful Azrael..."

"Dammit Milo can't you even..."

Seems I still have a short temper...I need assurance, I always have. Milo crushed his lips against mine or Sarah's.

"Sarah marry me...let's do it here, right here right now."

"What? But how can I..."

"I want to bond with you surely you know how I feel."

"You have never been good with admitting your feelings have you?"

"Azrael..."

"Don't you Azrael me...I can say that I love you, and you cannot!"

"We are true bond mates; you know how I feel about you."

"Well it couldn't hurt you just to say it for once."

Milo signed and went down on one knee.

"Azrael, my love, you are my life. I love you with all my heart; forever will I love you and only you. Will you marry me?"

"That's more like it. Of course Milo."

What no extravagant wedding? No expensive dress? A fancy venue, guests? My brother? Me, I would have...gone all out...I guess that is what I did with my bonding with Jack and look where that got me, I lost Kingsley. Milo stood taking Sarah's hand and sliding on the engagement ring.

"I Araquiel, give my life and soul for you Azrael. I love you with all my heart. I give myself to you."

"Araquiel I am forever yours, I Azrael give myself to you."

Milo and Sarah kissed and he picked her up carrying her into the sea as she laughed in his arms, a few tears of joy streamed down my face, I wiped them away as I turned to face Taylor.

"He will return to me?"

"Yes, you are true bond mates, if there is a will, there is a way. Now take my arm."

Turning round one last time to look at my future self, smiling at the couple in the sea, the future me, with Kingsley, I took Taylor's arm as we disappeared from the beautiful scene.

(Taylor's POV)

I didn't like how Mimi was treating Avery, all Avery has done was be nice to her, but right now that is the least of my problems, I was watching her, as she saw her future self very much in love with Kingsley. My mind drifted to Avery, since when have I not thought about her. I wonder what she is doing now. I hope Casey and Sam have arrived to keep her company, I will see her again, I will. We are meant to be together.

I have shown Mimi enough, we must go. She clung to my arm as I teleported us somewhere else. We arrived in a back alley New York City, picking up the dirty newspaper it had printed today's date, but it was different, we weren't back in our time. No it felt dark, so dark...evil. It was the same lingering feeling as Rome, yet perhaps a lot darker.

"Taylor...can you feel that? Something isn't right."

"Yes I can, it is like Rome...evil lingering."

Suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by masked blue bloods all dressed in black, we blended in well, but perhaps not well enough.

"Azrael."

Was what I heard before slumping to a deep sleep.

Opening my eyes, I found myself sitting on a chair, with my hands tied to the back of it.

"Ah so you are awake."

The voice was familiar, yet I could not pin point who it was. The figure approached, pulling up a chair in front of me. It was Jack Force.

"Jack?"

"So you really are Elias."

"Yes...where is Mimi?"

"Which one do you mean? The one you came with?"

"Yes that one. Who else would I be talking about?"

"She is still asleep, over on that sofa behind you."

I turned to see Mimi slumped in a deep sleep; Jack had gotten up and untied my hands before sitting back down opposite me.

"The other Mimi looks a lot different, she has a shorter hair and she...is currently out of the country...with her love."

"Wait her love? Kingsley?"

Jack looked sad, but not angry, he was nothing like his vengeance driven twin.

"Yes the silver blood. She was never truly my bond mate; why are you here Elias...Or is it Taylor...that is your name here."

"Yes it is Taylor; I am here to show Mimi a life without Schuyler."

"Schuyler?"

"She is the prophecy Sophia talked about."

"I see...well no such Schuyler exist here. The world is dark, perhaps you felt the evil when you arrived."

"I did...what happened?"

"Lucifer's reign, he has risen. There are very few of us blue bloods left. I am the only one holding us together."

"Wait you are Regis?"

"Yes I guess I am...with Michael gone."

"Gone? What?"

"Michael is trapped in hell, Gabrielle is trying to rescue him, Mimi and Kingsley are on a quest to find allies, Lucifer's daughter...Bliss... is the true culprit she carried the Dark Prince in her, she set him free."

"Bliss Llewellyn?"

"That is her; she is evil, evil to the core. Lucifer has taken many as his prisoners; the countess is one of them. But there has always been one that has sparked the most interest. Those he considered beautiful..."

"Who else has he taken? Can't you save them? The Countess."

"There is one who has been trying for years. He has been trying to save her, since the fall of Michael, but there is nothing we can do. I as Regis cannot risk the lives and survival of us remaining blue bloods. We must keep our strength, keep our numbers, do we fight Lucifer and his army or do we try to save one angel and risk the lives of us blue bloods forever?"

"Surely you will fight Lucifer, you will bring good back to this world."

"You speak wisely my friend, not like the Taylor I know, but you would do what he is doing now, giving up everything just for their twin."

"And why would I?"

"Because Lucifer has taken Avery, yes I am talking about your twin, Sariel."

What? Sariel? What does he want with Avery? Why? She is his trophy? No not my Sariel.

(Mimi's POV)

I woke feeling like I did back in Paris, when someone used the 'Dormi' spell on me; this is twice now, in one month. Sitting up I found myself on a sofa, in a dirty room with no windows, I saw Taylor sitting on a chair opposite...my brother?

"Jack?"

"Ah so you are awake too."

"Hang on. What's going on? Did you put me to sleep?"

"Of course, I had too after all the Mimi I know has a bob and she is with Kingsley, her true mate."

"Wait what?"

What I am even with Kingsley in this life. I cheated on him... With Kingsley. So Kingsley and I are truly meant to be.

I got up and grabbed a chair and sat next to Taylor. Taylor turns to look at me.

"Even if Schuyler did not exist, you still fell for Kingsley do you understand now? Your brother deserves happiness."

I nodded and turned to look at my brother, at Jack he was different to the Jack I know. He was meaner, lonely and heartbroken.

"Jack...I am sorry."

He started laughing and pulled me in for a tight hug.

"You are different to the Mimi I know. You are softer, she has not once apologised for leaving me, she immediately left with Kingsley to find the wolves. We need allies."

Wolves? I thought Bliss was looking for the wolves, not Kingsley & I.

"Wait the wolves? Why? What's happened?"

"Two years ago, the fall of our Regis, our father Charles, he was sent to hell while Lucifer was free to walk this earth once more. Father was left trapped, in the depths of hell; mother has been trying to save him."

"Mother? Trinity?"

She is the only mother I know off, in this life anyway.

"No Allegra."

"So we are Van Alens?"

"Yes of course, what else would we be?"

That was when I heard Taylor's voice and I turned to face him.

"Mimi, remember, Schuyler does not exist."

Allegra? But of course Schuyler does not exist in this world. It is hard to imagine her not here, since she has largely influenced my world, she evidently made me fall in love with Kingsley.

"Right, but everyone is the same? Bliss? Oliver?"

"Bliss!"

I jumped from the harsh tone of my brother's voice, he spat out her name in disgust.

"She is the dark princess, she carried the evil inside her, she was the one that killed Aggie and Lawrence."

"No...but the Bliss...I know...she..."

I stood up, Taylor stood with me, and he led me back to my seat.

"Bliss in this world never befriended you, Schuyler or even fallen in love with Dylan, she was brought up evil, though she may carry the light of Gabrielle, she is still a blue blood, she knows no better unless she sacrifices herself."

Schuyler, the sister bond she has with Bliss, a bond like no other, a sibling love.

"Her friendship with Schuyler, they are sisters there is a bond, that unable her from killing Schuyler. We need her..."

"Yes, you understand now? Why Schuyler is needed, why we need her."

"I...I...do. Let's go home Taylor."

We both stood, I looked at my brother and smiled at him, Taylor held out his arm, taking it I held on it tightly. But then someone burst in, he had longish brown hair, and had a beard, it was Taylor, but this Taylor wore a cold expression on his face, he was a complete mess physically looking, he was nothing like the clean cut Taylor I knew. It seemed he was quite taken back by us, or rather by his alter ego.

"What the hell?"

"I am from an alternative world."

"I can bloody see that, why are you here? Here with Azrael?"

He still had the same British accent as Taylor, still strikingly beautiful, but the vibe I got from him, he was nothing personality wise like present Taylor.

Well at least he seems to know who I am.

"I needed to show her a future without Schuyler."

His face lit a little, he knew how important Schuyler was, how important she was to the race of the blue bloods.

"Schuyler? The Prophecy? She was never born."

"We know, the world has become dark..."

"Dark? Much darker than you can ever imagine, not is it also dark but it is also dangerous, for both blue and red bloods. Red blood females' have been taken, taken to create silver and red blood hybrids."

What? Hybrids? Like Schuyler? But pure evil? This cannot be possible? But it is...I should know, Schuyler's whole existence proves that it is possible.

"What? Devil spawns?"

That is absolutely vile, no, they are pure evil, how can we tell if they exist? If they carry red blood in them, surely they can be passed off as red bloods, have they been living right under our nose? What if they exist in our world?

"Come; let me show you...it seems Azrael does not believe me."

I never said that. This Taylor was definitely a lot different to my Taylor ok technically not mine, but Avery's, but yes the Taylor I know.

We followed the scruffy looking Taylor through several hallways, a few stair case till we reached the surface, or shall I say outside. Scruffy looking Taylor, taking the lead with the other Taylor behind, and behind me was Jack. That was when I heard him in my thoughts.

'Are you happy?'

'What? How are you still in my head?'

'I am your twin Mimi, at least I was...I will always be your brother.'

'I was...happy...though I think I can get him back...'

'Kingsley? You really do love him don't you?'

'I...I...do. But somewhere in my heart, I will always love you, just a little, even if you have caused me deep pain.'

'I have? As from what has happened here, you are the one who has caused deep pain for me.'

'I...not in my world.'

'That is funny, how in these parallel worlds, things are the opposite, I have hurt you deeply in yours while it is vice versa here.'

'Well I am sorry, and sorry that I tried to kill you, to be honest, I know I would have regretted it, if I was successful.'

'You tried to kill me? Always have been the one to follow the law, yet but still be the one to break them, though these times are dark, I have more important things to worry about then you running away with him. I have a coven to take care off.'

'Do you think these, spawns exist in my world?'

'It is likely my dear. Mother first discovered them back in Florence.'

It was weird how he kept referring Allegra as our mother, it didn't half make me shudder to actually think me and Schuyler would be sisters. Disgusting. Yes I understand that she is the prophecy and that she must exist but it doesn't mean I have to like her. Boyfriend/husband stealing whore. Jack I can be civil with but his half blood whore is a totally different matter.

We had been walking a while till we reached a warehouse, walking it smelt absolutely vile; I could smell blood, death. Scattered all over the floor where corpses, red blood corpses, girls barely teenagers, pregnant, screaming from the excruciating pain, they were impregnated by the devil, and left to fend for themselves. There was not a child insight, not a spawn anyway, just heavily pregnant red bloods, or dead red bloods with a strange symbol imprinted on them. As we were walking here I did see the symbol of Lucifer, his Morningstar, it was plastered on pretty much every wall it was signal to show that Lucifer has risen, and to beware. The sight was absolutely ghastly, I looked at Taylor, he was absolutely horrified, stepping out from the breeding room and into a back alley, we all paused, paused to catch ourselves, from witnessing something out of a horror movie. No it was a horror movie, a very much real life movie.

"What was that mark?"

It was Jack who spoke. My beautiful brother, the brother I will always love. I think I like this Jack more than the present.

"It means the union of red and silver."

That is sick; there is even a mark for the creation of the devil's spawn?

It suddenly occurred to me that while I have been here, I have heard of all the people I knew, of my alter ego, with Kingsley but where was Avery? Surely if Taylor is around then so should she.

"Where is Avery?"

Taylor tensed a little next to me, I looked at him, he looked a little sad, but I was not prepared by what the Taylor of this world was about to do, his emotion completely changed, his face was full of anger and hurt, he started to kick anything in his path, making a loud racket. I turned to look at the other Taylor, what was going on?

"He has taken her."

"What? Who has?"

"Lucifer."

"What! Why?"

Lucifer has taken her? No...he has not consumed her has he? No, not Avery, no Taylor has gone through too much, she cannot have left him no.

The dirty look Taylor turned to look at me, his eyes full of sorrow, brimming with tears, waiting to burst, but behind those tearful eyes was sheer determination.

"He took her, as his trophy wife. Avery was beautiful back in Rome, he wanted to claim her back there and then, but we left; now she is more beautiful than she ever was before, so he took her. My life was only spared for she begged him too. She would willing go with him if I was spared. My beautiful Sariel."

I watched as he crumbled to the ground sobbing, sobbing for his love, feeling his pain, I fell to the floor and held him close. Letting him sob in my arms, just in a few hours have I softened my heart, I am letting another sob on shoulders. Who would have thought, Mimi Force the compassionate one?

"Taylor...I am sorry."

Tears where streaming down my face as I held him in my arms, feeling his pain, his lost, it too broke me inside.

(Taylor's POV)

I couldn't help but feel his pain too, for he is me, just me in an alternative world. If I ever lost Avery, god I don't know what I would do. I love her so much, she is everything to me. She is my life, she is also my weakness, everyone knows that. Lucifer certainly did, but now he has taken her...what do I...or rather this Taylor has to give him, other than his own life? If I presume correctly I am no longer the gatekeeper to the Gate of Time, if so, surely he would have it now. No it cannot be it. Why Avery? Perhaps back in Paradise, we never took his side, we were only merely banished here, for lying, for deceive our father. I do hope he will forgive us one day. I never knew Mimi had that side to her, she always acted cold and dishearten but here she was comforting my alter ego. Perhaps she has learnt her lesson regarding her emotions from losing Kingsley. I am determined to help her get him back; after all she deserves her own happiness.

Jack suddenly pulled out his sword, he half turned and glanced behind him before turning back to look at me.

"You have to leave. Now."

I watched as Taylor and Mimi stood, Mimi took my arm as the other Taylor walked ahead to stand next to Jack. He turned to face us.

"Take care Azrael. Taylor...look after her; don't lose her like I have. And if anything does happen, you make sure you fight for her."

Nodding, I looked ahead and saw a gang of Silver bloods approaching us, no not just silver bloods but also what looks like silver and red blood Hybrids. It was an army, an army built to destroy not only this world, but also Paradise. Jack turned to look at us.

"What the hell are you still doing here go!"

I started to teleport us, away, Jack and Taylor started to fade. That was when I felt someone grab at my leg looking down; there was some crazy ass blonde with silver pupils.

"I need to get you out of here! We have lingered too long. I promised that I would look after you."

"Taylor what are you talking about! We are leaving together."

"If I don't make it back tell Avery that I love her."

"What! Of course you are coming back Taylor you need to go back there is someone waiting for you that loves you lots."

More and more silver bloods started to appear, there had managed to step into my portal, I must do it, I do not have any other options. I reached out to loosen Mimi's hand; she stared up at me in complete horror.

"Taylor what are you doing!"

"I need to defeat them, there is too many of them, I cannot bring them all back to our world, you must go back."

"No Taylor! Let me go with you! You cannot do this alone!"

'You did what you came here to do, you learnt that Schuyler must live, it is my job as the Angel of Time to keep the balance. Now and on the count of three let go of my arm."

I did not realise how much we really had bonded over the short period of time that we knew each other.

"Taylor...I can't"

"You must, you must warn them of the hybrids. Now...when I reach three you let go."

She started to cry uncontrollably, begging me not to do it, but I have to. I need to do it, there are too many of them, I have to defeat them.

"One...Two...Three..."

So what did you think? Reviews please. Thank you.
