Leroy and Demon II: Life After
By: Stitchfreak626
Chapter 25
The Angel
Well, school's back for me so that's really going to take a lot of my time, but fear not! School won't be an obstacle. Read and review:
Leroy's POV…
Darkness…
I woke up only to see nothing but pitch black. Darkness everywhere…darkness all around me. Where was I? Was I dead? No, I couldn't be. It wasn't my time yet! Yes, I wasn't dead, this was all a nightmare, a complete nightmare! And I will be waking up…NOW!
…now!
…..now!!
……..NOW?!
Why am I not waking up? I have to stay calm…wherever I was…I could get out of. I'm sure I must be dreaming. Yes, a mere dream, but why am I not waking up?
……
It's so quiet here. I can only hear myself and all that there is, is darkness. Pitch black, no light, just black and nothing more. Not even my keen vision could penetrate through the murky darkness of my location. Could I really be dead? Demon…Damali…Kieran…Devin…and Keahi. My family, I will leave behind. I'll never be able to see them graduate, see my grandchildren, and…worst of all…my Demon and our expected baby. No, not now, my life cannot end now. There is so much I have yet to see. My family needs me. They need me. I need them! I have to get out of here! I have to return to them!!
-Quiet-
I'm all alone; no one's here but me. I alone stand in the utter silence in the darkness that overwhelms me entirely. I'm nothing without my precious family. I want to go home. Home, yes, home. The place where I love to be with my family, my sanctuary. Shall I ever return? I don't even know what time it is- wait…what was that?
-blue light shines in the distance-
'What is that? Is someone there?'
-light shines brighter and gets closer-
'Please, someone answer me! Where am I?!'
"Leroy…"
'Yes, that's my name! But who is that?'
"Leroy…"
'Yes, I am Leroy! Please, I beg of you, please return me home!'
"Leroy…"
By now I am frustrated mixed with a feeling of dread and sadness. This was an unfamiliar voice. Could this be an angel? Then this confirms I am truly dead and gone from existence. I'll never return home. I never got to say goodbye to them. Even though they can't hear me I will still say 'farewell my family. I love you and take care.' I see a figure approaching me, the light is glowing a shade of cerulean blue now and I hear the sound of wind, no, the sound of flapping wings! I can see it now, an angelic figure approaching me with beating wings. The angel lands in front of me, but all I see is a silhouette, but nothing more. The angel is taller than I am and has a feminine figure, so this angel must be female.
"Leroy?" the angel asked in the most fragile and tender voice I've ever heard, well, second to my Demon's.
'Yes I am Leroy' I respond. My body is filled with dread and angst by now knowing that I am indeed dead. I lower my head while my ears droop down to my shoulders and I resist showing any sadness, even though I felt a tear slip from my eye.
"Fear not, you are not dead," says the angel which catches my interest, "but you are in a deep sleep or as how they put it, a coma."
I am in a coma? So, I am not dead? Well, somewhat dead, NO, I was alive, well half-alive. But…what is an angel doing here? Many questions ran through my head, but the angel seemed to read my mind because she immediately started answering some of my unsaid questions
"Your mate, Demon, went for help and many of your friends came to look for you under the debris. They were lucky enough to find you in one piece, but you were badly injured, despite the fact you are indestructible you managed to get horrible injuries. Your sons, too, are in coma and have not awaken. They too were injured horribly" the angel answered with a calm voice. I was about to say something but she continued, "your family has been waiting for you to wake up for almost a year. Kailani already had Kieran's pups, two of them."
I was a grandfather now? In deep sleep for almost a year? I had to get up. I'm missing so much of my life. I had to get up!
'Why are you here?" I asked but uncertain of my tone, it almost sounded as if I was angry instead of sad, 'Who are you?' Whoever that was, was quiet for a minute or two and it's wings spread and light overtook the imaginary world I was in. I covered my eyes from the sudden change of light and rubbed my eyes; once I cleared my sight I was surprised to see who exactly this angel was. It was not a human-like person who stood before me but a light blue bear-like experiment. Its body was like a woman's and it had long antennas stretching down to her waist. She wore a white robe, had large wings, and a circular thing on her head, I'm guessing a halo.
"I am 725, I go by the name Maisha" the bear said. 725? THE REVIVING EXPERIMENT!!! The one experiment who Doctor Chansey wanted to complete, but why was she here? The angel once again read my thoughts for she continued speaking.
"You ask too many questions; I'm here because it's time for you to wake up" Maisha said as she extended her arm to me, "I know this is a little late, but I was only made a month ago."
'As long as I'm going back, it's fine by me' I said sincerely. She gave a giggle and I grabbed her paw. Immediately, this imaginary world started fading and I could hear voices everywhere. The voices echoed around the world and I turned to look to the reviving experiment.
"Farewell, Leroy, we will one day meet again," she said and let go of my paw. The last thing I saw was Maisha waving farewell then all went blurry.
Regular POV…
The sound of low humming was heard caused by the machines that were keeping track of the hearts of those in the room. Demon was sitting on a chair next to Leroy, petting his arm and wishing for him to awaken. She'd been wishing for his awakening for almost a year and she missed the sound of his voice and his warm touch. All three males were covered in bandages almost from head to toe. The red female couldn't help but cry and sometimes she thought he was already gone, but according to the machines he was just at the brink of life.
"Leroy," Demon said, "oh, Leroy, please wake up." A tear rolled down her eye, this past year she missed her family entirely. Sure, she had Damali but she wanted her complete family. Damali sat on a chair next to the door. What happened between Deion and her was still going, she forgave him for what he did because he had explained everything to her, and he himself insisted on ending the relationship but she couldn't let him go. Damali twiddled with her fingers as she waited and often got up and paced around the room but she was just starting to lose hope, no, she lost her hope many months ago. She missed her dad and her brothers very badly.
"Please wake up," Demon begged and kissed her mate's paw and began to sob.
"Mom," Damali said turning her attention, "he's not going to-"
"D-Demon?" came a croaky voice and Demon gave a little gasp and looked for the source of the voice.
"Did you say something?"
"No" Damali said while staring out the window. Demon turned then felt Leroy's paw grasping onto hers.
"Demon, is, is that you?" Demon looked down and saw her bujee boo opening his eyes.
"Leroy!" Demon gasped as she saw him stirring, "I'm here. I'm here."
Leroy opened his charcoal black eyes and looked around once his eyes cleared. Damali went over to her father with a teary face, not believing what was happening.
"Dad, you're ok" she said as a tear slipped from her eye. Leroy smiled.
"Of course I am. Did you think I'd leave you?" he said quietly. Damali smiled and Demon wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him into a hug. She started crying and sobering, but those were tears of happiness she was crying. Damali cried and let out tears of joy. Both were happy he was back into their lives. Demon kept on crying on her love's shoulder; she couldn't let go of him and didn't want to.
"H-how's our baby?" Leroy asked into her ear. Demon sniffled then looked at him with her ears drooping.
"I…it didn't make it" she answered and he sighed in disappointment.
"Where's Keahi?"
"Down on the first floor grabbing a snack" Demon responded.
Leroy turned to Damali.
"Aren't you gonna give me a hug?" Leroy teased and Damali gave him a tight hug.
"I missed you daddy, I really did" she said through tears, hugging him tightly for she had not been able for many months.
"There, there Damali. I'm here now and that's all that matters" he said to his daughter.
Demon smiled then turned to her two sons who have not risen from their deep sleep. She sighed, now she had to worry about them both. One a trouble-maker and the other an older brother who was now a father. Leroy turned to his two sons but he knew they would awake, the angel told him. He decided to keep that experience to himself, he did not want them to think he was crazy. There was silence for many hours and Leroy was starting to worry if the angel had lied to him. He had received some water to drink. He throat was a dry as a desert and his stomach was an empty hole so he got something little to eat first. While he was drinking his water he heard the unmistakable voice of Devin,
"Can I have a cookie?"
Everyone turned their gaze toward the teenage red trouble maker who was opening his eyes. Demon gave a joyful smile and went over to her son and grasped his paw.
"You can have one later"
"Even in the hospital you won't give me one now" he groaned in his kiddish voice. Demon smiled, this was her son and she knew he was back. She hugged him, Damali was next and now all that needed to awake was Kieran.
"Hey, son," Leroy said and Devin turned to him.
"Man, dad, you looked more messed up than Damali in the morning" Devin teased.
"Ha, ha, funny" Damali grunted and he gave a grin.
"Well, you should look at yourself" Leroy answered teasingly and Devin groaned.
"I don't wanna. I just get up and all of you start telling me what to do" Devin said and they chuckled.
"Now what are you complaining about?" a familiar voice came and they shifted toward Kieran who was now facing them.
"Kieran!" they all said happily.
"The one and only" he responded as he tried to get up but remained on the bed. They started hearing a pair of footsteps coming toward the door and Keahi walked in holding a bag and two little cries were heard behind him and Kailani walked in with two baby versions of Kieran himself except one was pink like her mother. Kailani gave a surprised gasped when she saw her love awake,
"Kieran!" she cried out and Demon took the baby girl and boy from her as she went over to her bujee boo.
"Oh Kieran! I was starting to loose hope" Kailani cried out through tears. She had her arms wrapped tight around his neck and Kieran hugged her.
"Ou-our kids?" he asked pointing at the two babies. Kailani sniffled and nodded and he smiled. The family, happily reunited, were grateful they were back together and started to talk to one another of what was life without one another.
It was a beautiful moment for the entire family. When they started to loose hope, they came back to them. Now there was no reason to fear, no reason to be sad, no reason to be miserable; it was all a time to be happy and to start all over. Nothing could change that and nothing would. It was time to start all over once again and begin a new life.
To be continued…
