Hey guys! So this will be the last chapter I will post for this story. I wanted to thank you, the readers. Thank you for coming back each week and reading my stories. Thank you for your messages and comments, I do take them to heart. Thank you for being really encouraging, I can feel it every time I read your comments, it does help me continue the story. And a special thank you for those who help name baby Daniel Victor Beauchamp and for those who participated in the specials. A big thank you to Wiccancharmed guy, if you guys haven't read his stuff, he is really creative. And last but not least a big thank you for the two who allowed me to create Summer and Alex. Without them, I would not have the courage to post this story or to write, or to even bring out my ideas. I wrote this story because I got you two to fall in love with the witches of east end and I saw that you guys hated the way it ended. You guys may had been the reason why I started this story, but you have given me something more. You guys gave me courage to come here every week and tell my story. And for believing in me. For that, I will always be thankful for. Happy Birthday Summer! Happy Birthday Alex! This chapter is for the both of you.
Also, I do have to make some disclaimers. I do not own Witches of East End, that belongs to Melissa De La Cruz and Lifetime. I do not own Blue Bloods, that belongs to Melissa De La Cruz. I do not own Wicked, that belongs to Gregory Maguire and Universal studios. In the world of Wicked, Animals are animals that can talk. If the word Animals is not uppercase, then they are regular animals. In blue bloods, Melissa De La Cruz did a gender bender with one of the angels. Instead of Gabriel, its Gabrielle. They have the same story. So on with the story guys, and if you haven't guessed yet, yes there are spoilers.
Anna was still in shock of the news, she couldn't believe that there was an attack on the Blue Bloods. At the two of the strongest Blue Bloods' wedding none the less. She tried to warn the Blue Bloods a few weeks ago, but Charles Force, Michael, the leader of the Blue Bloods, had been missing for a while since his trip to Paris to find his niece, Schuyler. Mimi, who was Regis, the leader of the American coven, brushed off the witch's warning, claiming that there was no possible way that Lucifer would attack on her wedding day. But he did, any many lives were taken because of that, both human and vampire. She was glad that her sister and Aria didn't go. She knew she should have told them, but Anna wanted to believe that Mimi did hire extra security for the wedding or at least considered her warning and had some security, even if it did involve magic.
Anna could still see all those people being slaughtered. Humans were confused and scared of what was going on. Vampires, many which were rusty with their fighting skills, fought for their lives and safety. However, many failed miserably. Yet the thing that hurt her the most, the reason why she didn't tell her twin, was Bliss. She could see the red headed vampire looked torn, an internal struggle between her and Lucifer for control. All ending in with the young vampire stabbing herself to death, to give her fellow vampires a chance to survive. The blonde felt sorry for the vampire and hoped that in her next life, she would be free.
However, Bliss sacrificing herself was not the thing that ended the bloodshed at the church, but Kingsley Martin. Anna never met the man before, but she had heard stories about him from Aria and Nyssa. The blue eyed, dark haired, bad boy had an interesting past. Apparently he was a Silver Blood who fought for the Blue Bloods. A reformed Silver Blood. The story goes that he was the first one who was turned into a Silver Blood by Lucifer during his time in Rome. Back then, he was known as Tiberius Gemellus, and was ticked by the Devil, Caligula during that time, before he was banished back to the Underworld. Gemellus was the true heir of Cesar Tiberius, but his father favored Caligula and made him heir. The two were cousins in that life, but Gemellus saw him as a brother. With his judgment clouded by his loyalty to his cousin, the emperor doomed Gemellus to a life of eternal damnation in return for Agrippina, Mimi Force in this life, to be his bond mate. Although Kingsley never became Mimi's bond mate, from what she had heard from her twin, the two would occasionally have a secret relationship until her bonding ceremony with Abbadon. From then on, the Blue Blood was faithful to Abbadon. Anna felt bad for Kingsley, to keep getting his heart broken over this one vampire who he would never have. Maybe that is why he did what he did.
Anna remember what her mother and aunt told her and her family after their interaction with her hellish Aunt Helena, that there were seven gates of hell that were supposed to be protected by the Blue Bloods. Who would had thought that one of the gates would be at the exact spot where the wedding was held at St. John's the Divine. All Anna knew was that Kingsley Martin was fighting for the Blue Bloods, then a gang of Silver Bloods ambushed him at once. She couldn't hear what the man was saying, but in the middle of his talking a bright light formed and all of the Silver Bloods were gone, including Kingsley. The church looked as if it was bombed instead of an attack. Anna just hoped that gate was sealed. She was still worried, what if Helena was to come through one of those gates and tried to take her revenge on her and her family. There was six more gate, who knows what could happen. The blonde hair witch didn't need her vision to know that her family was in trouble. The witch turned off her lights and laid in bed. Scared of what she would see in her dreams.
Anna was standing in a living room, she does not know whose or whom it may belong to. However, she did know the red head sitting on a couch with a quilt. Her heart stopped, she couldn't believe it. After being stabbed in the heart, Bliss Llewellyn was alive and breathing. She was glad that the vampire was alive, but worry about who was in control of the body. Anna did not know who the vampire was talking to was. The other woman in the room was breath taking. She had long, wavy, platinum blonde hair with green eyes. She looked around her thirties and was cladded in a white gown. Anna leaned closer to get a better look at the woman, in hope that she could recognize her. When she did, she realized she did not look like a woman in her thirties, there were wrinkles on her hands, lines on her face. Anna wasn't sure but she thought she could see saw gray in the woman's hair. There was something unearthly about the woman, perhaps she was another Blue Blood. The witch stayed quiet to listen to the two conversation.
"I'm sorry it took me a long time, but I finally found you," the older woman sat next girl. "I finally sensed our link," she moved some hair from the red head face and smiled," our connection. And like I told your sister, I will always be with you."
"So it's true, I am your daughter Allegra," Anna could see the vampire smiled when she said that. However that smile quickly fade away when she realized something else that was just as important. "And I am his daughter too, aren't I?" the younger girl looked up to her mother, tears in her eyes. Allegra didn't say anything, but her sad expression said more than she could. "I'm a monster," she covered her face with her hands, trying to hold back the tears.
"No you're not look at me," the older woman gently made the younger girl look at her. There was a kind, but stern face the blonde shown. "You are not Lucifer. All of the murders and betrayals that happened in your hands is not your fault. It is his," a soft smile appeared on the blonde's face as she continued. "And because you sacrificed yourself in the hands of Michael's sword you don't have to worry about being controlled by him again. Do you not feel anything different about yourself?" She questioned the red head. Anna could see confusion crossed upon the younger girl's face. Then she saw that she understood what the older woman was talking about. Anna wished she could read minds so she would know what they were talking about. "You're not dead, however when you used Michael's sword on yourself, it killed the link you had with Lucifer. Bliss he was using you to do his bidding from the underworld, it's not the first time this has happened," Anna knew what the older vampire meant, even if Bliss didn't. Allegra not only meant Bliss being controlled by Lucifer through countless lifetimes, but Helena as well. Anna may not like the woman, but there was a feeling that Lucifer was using the witch as much as she was using him. "But now you are free," a smiled crept on Anna's face. She was glad that the girl was finally free of him. That was all she wished for the vampire.
"So I'm alive, but his link to me is destroyed. The part of him that was in me is dead," Anna could see that this realization of freedom made the young vampire very happy. Yet, as fast as that happiness came, it left as if she realized something else. "Dylan…" her voice failed her. Anna was confused on who was Dylan. She never heard of that name before. Was it a friend? Lover? Anna didn't know.
"I'm sorry Bliss," the older vampire's voice was full of regret. "But once you sacrifice yourself, all of the people who was killed by Lucifer were set free, including Dylan," she wrapped her arm around her daughter for comfort.
"I didn't get a chance to say goodbye."
"You will," this made the younger vampire look up at her mother. "There is a warlock by the name of Abraham. He can communicate with the dead. He lives in Boston. Tell him that you are a friend of Nyssa, he'll help you."
"Who's Nyssa?" A part of Anna's heart broke when she hear that. She didn't blame Bliss, they had to take her memories away from the vampire so Lucifer couldn't raise the dead, including her memories of Nyssa. She felt bad that the red head didn't know who she was missing.
"Someone who misses you a lot. You won't remember her, but she remembers you. I have to go soon," Anna knew that the blonde didn't want to let her daughter go, the pain was evident on her face.
"No I just got you," another part of Anna broke inside. She knew the pain that the vampire felt. To be ripped away from their mother when they just got them. Granted her mother did come back, but that feeling haunted her every day.
"Remember what I said, I will always be with you and we will meet again," Allegra hugged her daughter for dear life, as did Bliss. As if they believe this would be the only time they would ever get this chance. "But there is a few things I must tell you," the older woman broke the embrace. "A long time ago, Lucifer raised the beasts of Hell, the hounds of Hell, to fight in the battle between Heaven and Hell. However their alliance were short lived and the hounds fought besides the Blue Bloods in the end. Sadly, after the war, the relationship between us and the Hell Hounds became estranged. I'm counting on you to find them. We will need them in our final battle with Lucifer," Anna had to admit that was a lot of pressure to put on someone, especially since the red head was still recovering. Anna noticed that it became very quiet, really fast. She looked at the mother daughter duo and they looked very concentrated. As if they were talking about something very important. Anna had heard that vampires could communicate telepathically, she just never saw this happen before; it was interesting.
"What?" Bliss was the first one to say something. The vampire seemed to be in shock about something, Anna wished he knew what it was. "But how can I do that if I'm not a vampire anymore, now that I am human," this time Anna was the one in shock. The red head in front of her was no longer a vampire, but a human. Anna believed Bliss had a chance when she thought the girl was a vampire, but now it would be impossible. Anna wanted to know how this even happened. "There's no way I can do this."
"There is a way," Allegra said with determination, putting a comforting hand on the ex-vampire. "There are those who want to help us. I need you to find Arthur Beauchamp, he will help you. You have so many allies out there that want to help you and I believe in you," she gave her a smile. Anna knew that her uncle hand his hands in different affairs that dealt with vampires, witches, and Hell Hounds. She hope that he was prepared for what was to come.
"Wait!" The blonde started to fade away, panic could be seen on Bliss's face. "What is my name? My real name. I mean yours is Gabrielle but you were known as Allegra in this life. Do I even have one?"
"You do," the blonde said in a calming voice. "Your father named you the Darkling, Azazel. However, the name I bestowed upon you is Lupus Theliel, Angel of Love, my Wolfsbane," she said before she disappeared. However, instead of feeling her absent, Anna could feel warmth and comfort. As if everything will be all right. The blonde hoped her uncle could help this girl so she, too, can be reunited with her mother.
The sounds of footsteps running down the hall made the young witch turn her attention away from the former vampire. She was faced with an emerald hallway. It wasn't the color of emerald, but the stone. It what made up the entire hallway and into the next one. There was golden lining in the emerald that distinguished the columns. Anna turned back to see the room and Bliss was gone, as if they were never there.
The witch started to make her way down the hallway, she could see shadows, one male the other female. She turned the corner, barely missing them. She could hear fear in the man's voice. He didn't look like a strong man based from his shadow. When she finally caught up to the duo, her suspicions were conformed. He had white hair, but he wasn't old. Maybe in his early to mid-forties if she had to guess. His suit was emerald as the walls, a white button up shirt and a yellow, orange and brown vest. She noticed a pocket watch on his side. If Anna had to compare the man to anyone she knew, she would say that this man reminded her of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland if he was human. The man was just as nervous as the rabbit.
The woman was beautiful. Not as unearthly as Allegra, but held her own beauty. The woman was, too, in her early to mid-forties. Her blonde hair was tied up in an elaborate bun with a crown placed on the top of her head to show her importance. Unlike the man, she didn't not wear an emerald color, but a royal blue dress. A broach that had a royal crest of OZ was on her left shoulder, in order to connect the top of her dress together. Her left shoulder did not have a sleeve, but the right one was a long sleeve. If she had to compare this woman to anyone, she would look like a mix between Kristen Chenoweth and Megan Hilty.
"Malcom I don't understand what is so important that you had to talk to me this instant," the woman looked annoyed, but tried to hide it. "You know after seven, it's my time with my family."
"I know and I apologize your Ozness," he bowed to the woman. "But I believe we are in grave danger."
"What is it?" Anna could see this caught the blonde's attention.
"It's Morrible," Anna's blood ran cold. The witch knew who she was. Melena told her that Madame Morrible was Elphaba's old headmistress at her Shiz University. When Morrible found out that Elphaba had magic, she trained her in the magic arts until Elphaba received a letter from the wizard to meet her. On her trip there, her friend, Glinda, came along. When she met the wizard, Elphaba found out that Morrible was the new grand visor and she, along with the wizard, was using Elphaba to mold her into this witch that would aid them to stop Animals to speak. Elphaba didn't not agree with their views about Animals, defied the wizard and worked for the resistance until she faked her death. Morrible was the main person who was telling Oz how horrible Elphaba was.
"What about her?" the blonde seemed concerned at this point.
"I think you have to see this," urgency could be heard in the man's voice. The white hair man started running in the opposite direction, then the blonde follow with the same haste. The young witch could hear the older woman complaining on how unorthodox it was for a lady to run. Anna was just amazed that the older woman was able to keep up with the man in her high heels. Shaking her head so she can focus, the witch ran after the two. Twist and turns from hallway to hallway, Anna nearly missed the flight of stairs the duo took to go to a lower level.
Once outside, the older blonde started to conjure up a giant bubble. Anna had to sprint to barely make it in the bubble. The bubble started to rise from the ground, with all three passengers, and headed east from where they were standing. The young witch was stunned, the Emerald City was breath taking at night. Although it may look like a regular city, except it wasn't run on electricity, but candle light. There were buildings as tall as trees, dress salons, libraries, museums, and in the emerald palace stood in the middle of all this. It looked nothing like the Wizard of Oz version by MGM, it put it to shame. However, Anna couldn't admire it for long or take in all of its beauty, for the bubble started to descend.
Only an inch from the ground, the bubble popped and the young blonde landed in an ungraceful fall. She looked up and saw that the two were leaving without her. The witch quickly got up from the ground and ran to them. They stopped when they were greeted by a man in a green uniform, the witch thought that he might be part of the army from the way the uniform was designed. With a quick bow, the man opened the door for the three and they went inside of the building without a second look at the man. After some twist and turns through the different floors and a few flights down, Anna saw the two suddenly stop. The blonde had to stop herself before she ran into the woman.
"Sweet OZ!" The older woman said in fear and ran up the cell that's door was wide open. Anna and Malcom, if Anna remembered his name correctly, walked to the cell. "How?" Anna assumed that the woman meant how did the woman escaped, but when she looked into the cell, her heart stopped. Written all over the walls was the same two words in red.
"She knocked out a few of the guards," Malcom said in a serious tone. "I'm not sure, but I believe that we have a mole," he stared at the older woman. "You and I both knew Miss Elphaba. I worked for her family for years and I know that she would not hurt anyone. What Morrible said was a lie, she was not a monster. I can see it in your eyes your Ozness, you know it's true."
"I do," she nodded her head. "Elphie wouldn't hurt anyone."
"But what this woman is claiming is that our Miss Elphaba is alive. I'm not sure about you, but either that this woman had finally lost her sanity and we have a mad woman on the run, or that what she said is true. Elphaba lives," during the whole conversation between the two, Anna's eyes never left the two words that were written over and over again. Elphaba Lives. She didn't know how much time she had till this vision came true, but Anna knew that she and her family had to act fast before Morrible take Elphaba away from them, for good.
Meanwhile in a palace in another world, a blonde hair woman drank her wine, devising a plan to get rid of Joanna and get what she deserved. It had been over a year since her plans were foiled, she would have to be more cunning since Joanna and her family knew that she wanted the throne. The sound of doors opening broke Helena of her thoughts. Another blonde hair woman walked towards her, head held high. Melena knew that her mother would be late in returning to Hell, she mentioned it to her earlier that year. She was a little shock to see her home already.
"Helena," the older woman gave a bow.
"Hello mother," she replied. "How was the trip?"
"Wonderful, she enjoyed the changing of the leaves and wish to see them change again next year," Cora responded to her daughter. Ever since Helena had returned to Hell, their relationship was strained at best. There were only two reason she stayed in Hell. One was for the loveless marriage she was stuck in. The other was for her.
"We shall see," the blonde rise from her throne. "Evangeline. Come," she summoned. Then a child, that looked no more than eight years old, walked into the throne room. Her light curly hair contrasted with the maroon dress she worn that day. However the one trait that seems to draw attention to the child was her piercing blue eyes. She curtsied to the older woman and raised her head.
"Hello mother," the child said to the blonde that stood before her. "It is good to be home."
Joanna Beauchamp was in her studio, she needed to paint something, something to distract her. Melena was there a few hours earlier, discussing holiday plans with Joanna since it would be Daniel's first Christmas and Freya and Killian should be back by then. Until Aria came and told Melena to come home, Nyssa needed her. The young witch explained what happened at their house and how they saw a war between the Blue Bloods and Silver Bloods. This caused Nyssa and Dante to fight. They knew that Dante was a Venator and had to go back to New York. Nyssa didn't want him to go and tried her hardest to make him stay. Sadly the only thing happened was hurtful things were said and Dante stormed out of the house while Nyssa wouldn't leave her room. Joanna felt bad for her niece. Anyone could see that they loved each other, well beside those two. She could see her niece's point of view, she didn't want to lose someone that means a lot to her. She wish she could take the pain away from her, but she couldn't. Joanna wanted to call Wendy and tell her what was going on, but in the morning. It was late already and she didn't think Aria was up for going to Houston right now. She would check on her niece in the morning.
"JOANNA," she heard Victor yelling for her. She didn't know that he was home yet, she didn't even hear the front door open. She ran to the front of the house to see that the front door was still closed, but Victor was on the other side. She opened the door and her blood ran cold. Victor was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. But it wasn't his blood. It belonged to the man on the ground next to her husband. She knew this man a long time ago and for a long time she believed he was dead. If Joanna didn't do anything soon, he would be.
"Joanna I'll do everything in my power to save him but I need you to call the ambulance," Grabbing her cell, Joanna called the paramedics, hoping to God that he would make it.
"Jo-Jo-Jo-ANNA," the man on the gasped, trying to say the witch's name.
"Ssshhh, hold on. Help is on its way," the witch tried to reinsure her old friend.
"N-N-NO. A-A-ASGARD. TR-TR-TROUB-LE. G-G-GO. H-H-HOME," the man stuttered, struggling to say a word. To be honest, Joanna hadn't given Asgard a second thought, she was too concerned about her family's wellbeing. The man started to gasp for air.
"AARON, hold on," using her magic, Joanna helped her husband to try to stabilize the man, hoping that the paramedics would come soon or else their efforts would be in vain.
