Chapter 62
Mitch: (yawns) "Morning you guys."
Emiri: "Hey Mitch. Good morning."
Emma: "Hey. I'm making pancakes."
Mitch: "Hey. Morning Lynn."
Evelynn: (looks the other way)
Mitch: "Heh…"
Emma: "I thought you were going to talk to him."
Evelynn: "I will. I swear. Just let me be mad at him for a few more hours. Till we get to China."
Bren: "Hey."
Mitch: "She's still mad at me."
Bren: "Maybe she'll understand over this vacation. She can't be mad at you forever."
Mitch: "She wouldn't have to be mad at me to begin with if someone didn't open their BIG BEAK!"
Bren: "I said I was sorry."
Mitch: "Don't worry about it. I'll explain it soon."
Bren: "Let's hope she's in a listening mood.."
Mitch: (grumbles)
Bren: "Tee-hee."
After they ate, they all gathered around a circle.
Emma: "Okay. According to the books I read, the Four Symbols legend originates in China so we should check out a few museums."
Mitch: "So all three of you are part Chinese?"
Shiro: "In a way yes."
Bren: "That's right."
Emma: "The first place we'll try is The Forbidden City. The imperial Palace."
Shiro: "Looks like our first stop is Beijing."
Emma took out her staff and asked everyone to hold hands. When Mitch gets ready to hold Evelynn's hand, she glares at him.
Evelynn: "Wanna keep that hand? Think you can heal from a missing hand?"
Bren: "You take off his hand, it'll happen to me too!" (frightened) "So please Lynnie. I would very much like to keep my hand."
Mitch: "Uh is it okay if we don't hold hands?"
Emma: "It won't work. Come on Mitch. Hold her hand. She's not gonna bite."
Evelynn: "Wanna bet?"
Emma: "Sis.."
Evelynn: "Fine." (holds his hand)
Emma: "Okay. now..?!"
Mitch: "SHE'S SQUEEZING TOO HARD! HURRY IT UP!"
Emma chanted a spell. The floor became a magic circle. Then a bright light happened. After a few minutes, they were in China. Evelynn let go of Mitch's hand because she saw Emma get exhausted. Mitch quickly carried Emma to the bench where he got out some water for her.
Mitch: "I told you you shouldn't exhaust yourself."
Emma: "Yeah. Sorry."
Shiro: "You okay Emma?"
Emma: "Mhm. Just need a break."
Mitch: "We're going to take the bus the rest of the way. I'll find one."
Bren: "I'll go with you."
Evelynn: "You sure you okay?"
Emma: "Yeah. I'm good. I promise. Mitch is really trying you know."
Evelynn: "So?"
Emma: "SO? Try and talk with him."
Evelynn: "You tried talking to him. What makes you think he'll listen to me?"
Emma: "Because you how he is with you."
Evelynn: (thinks about his confession, sighs) "I'll see what I can do…."
Mitch: "Found us a bus that will take us to Beijing."
Evelynn: (walks pass him, ignoring him)
Emma: "Give it a while."
Mitch: "I hope you're right."
When they got on the bus, Emma arranged it so Evelynn and Mitch could sit together. That bothered her big time. Of course she took the window seat. She sat and looked as the cars passed by. Mitch looked at Emma. She urged Mitch to try talking to her.
Mitch: "Lynn?"
Evelynn: "…."
Mitch: (sighs) "It's just a couple of weeks… Why are you so mad about that?"
Evelynn: "I'm not mad at that. It's what you didn't do. It's the same with you kissing Lauren. You didn't tell me a damn thing and what's worse, you told Emma instead of me!"
Mitch: "I'm sorry. I didn't think that bothered you."
Evelynn: "You are so dumb. If you thought that didn't bother me, you really don't know me at all."
Mitch: "I know a lot about you. How can you say that to me?"
Evelynn: "It's obvious that I don't matter for you to tell me that you're going to Hell to bond with your dad."
Mitch: "It's more to it than just that. And how can you say that?! You do matter to me!"
Evelynn: "You sure about that? I mean how can you do that after just saying that you lo-"
Mitch: "What?"
Evelynn: After saying that you love me…. "Nothing alright! Just leave me alone."
Mitch: "Fine."
Evelynn: "Fine!"
Mitch: "Fine!"
Evelynn: "Fine!" (turns away)
Mitch just rolled his eyes. He then heard sniffling and saw in the window that Evelynn was shedding a few tears… He put a hand up to his heart. It was aching. Not only was Evelynn mad, she was hurt. And it felt like he cause that hurt. It was like he betrayed her…
Emiri: "What are we going to do Emma?"
Emma: "Hmm?"
Emiri: "About Evelynn and Mitch?"
Emma: "I don't know Emiri…"
Shiro: "She's really hurt."
Bren: "Both of them are."
Shiro: "This can't go on."
Bren: "You're right. We just gotta find a way for those two to get together. If they won't do something about it, it's up to us."
Shiro: "You're right."
Once they got to the museum, they looked at how incredible the palace looked. They went on ahead into the palace with Lauren following way behind them. Mitch went somewhere and took out his phone. He was making a phone call.
(ringing)
Lucifer: "Hello?"
Mitch: "Hey Dad."
Lucifer: "Arthur! Hello Son. How is your vacation?"
Mitch: "Good so far."
Lucifer: "Is there something you need?"
Mitch: "I need advice."
Lucifer: "What's wrong?"
Mitch: "Have you ever betrayed someone that you love? You hurt them so bad that you just want to kick your own ass?"
Lucifer: "…..I have. Back in Los Angeles I did something without my partner's approval. She was furious. You know the whole Fake Sinnerman incident and kidnapping and torturing him."
Mitch: "What?! Kidnapping? Fake Sinnerman?! What are you talking about?"
Lucifer: "That is a story for another time. Now what's wrong?"
Mitch: "Lynn found out that I was going to Hell to be with you for a couple of weeks. She's mad at me. A little because I was going, but mostly because I didn't tell her but I told her sister instead. She feels like I betrayed her. Like I don't trust her."
Lucifer: "….."
Mitch: "Dad what do I do? It feels like she hates me. I hate that I hurt her. It hurts me bad. She was crying Dad.."
Lucifer: "Try not to get disheartened about that. All you can do is talk to her."
Mitch: "Yeah?"
Lucifer: "Of course. Once I get you, how about we celebrate your 11th birthday?"
Mitch: (shocked) "You….you keep track of my birthdays?"
Lucifer: "Of course. I've been doing that since you were born."
Mitch: (smiles)
Lucifer: "There is a friend of mine I want you to meet. Once I arrive to get you, I'm sure you'll be better acquainted with her."
Mitch: "I actually wanted to spend my birthday with Lynn and my friends."
Lucifer: "Hmm… Then how about I join you and we'll leave after that?"
Mitch: "That could work! Can't wait to see you. And Dad? Thanks."
Lucifer: "Where are you by the way?"
Mitch: "Huh?! Uh…At the twins' summer villa."
Lucifer: (hears the background sounds) "I see. You do know who you are speaking to right?"
Mitch: (gulps)
Lucifer: "You wouldn't lie to your own father, THE DEVIL, would you? Lying is a sin.."
Mitch: "Well we are at a museum. I gotta go! Later Dad!" (quickly hangs up) "Whew! Too close.."
Lucifer: (chuckles) "My boy. Lying to his own father.. he reminds me….of me…."
As they went inside the museum, they looked around at the artifacts. Some were more than a few thousand years old. As the tour went on, they got separated from them. Evelynn came to a tapestry with the many constellations of China. She looked closer not noticing she was on a button on the floor.
Evelynn: "Hey. This looks just like ShirooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Emiri: "These are so pretty!"
Bren: "They are. I just realized that this is the first time you ever seen this part of your heritage."
Emiri: "Yeah."
Emma: "She was hatched on the side of the road and placed in an orphanage."
Shiro: "That must've been very traumatic for you.."
Emiri: "I made it okay thanks to Mama and Papa and the twins."
Mitch: "Guess how we were born, we're sorta the same.
Emma: "Yeah. You were taken somewhere too."
Mitch: "My mother was just looking out for me. Sure she was deceive by whoever framed Dad but if she hadn't had did what she did, I never would've met you guys and Lynn."
Emma: "Where is Evelynn?"
Mitch: "Lynn?"
Bren: "Lynnie?"
Shiro: "She was around that painting. She just disappeared."
Evelynn: "GUYS!"
Emma, Mitch, Emiri, Shiro and Bren: (SCREAMING)
Evelynn: "There is a secret passage behind the tapestry!" (grabs Mitch) "Come on!"
She pulled them further in. When they got in, they saw it was dark. From how it looked it looked like they were going further down like deep under the museum. Mitch took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.
Shiro: "Don't separate everyone."
Bren: (lights a torch)
Emiri: "I'm scared."
Emma: (holds her hand) "I got you."
When they got to the end of the dark tunnel, they were seeing lines on the ground. Mitch might have pressed a button when they got closer. Emiri looked around herself. When she looked up a creature scared her.
Emiri: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
Emma: "Emiri!"
Shiro: "Quinn!"
They went to her and they looked and became shocked of what they saw. More light came around the room. In fact it was not a room at all. It was a hidden chamber. They looked and saw a turtle, a dragon, a bird, and a tiger.
Emma: "Incredible.."
Mitch: "Where are we? What are these? Statues?"
Shiro: "These….these are our parents."
Evelynn: "Wow."
Emiri: "Our parents….?"
Emma: "He's right. There's the Black Warrior, the Turtle. The Vermillion Bird Brenna. Your mother."
Bren: (sighs)
Shiro: "Kalama. You okay?"
Bren: "She didn't looked like this."
Emma: "Shiro. Here's your mother, the White Tiger of the West."
Shiro: "Mother.."
Mitch: "Where's Emiri?"
Emma: "She's…she's over there?"
They saw Emiri looking at the statue of her father, the Azure Dragon. Guardian of the East. She put her hand on the statue's claws. She looked up and wondered to herself is he looking at her right now.
Shiro: "Quinn?"
Emiri: "Do you think Daddy is looking at me right now?"
Mitch: "Hey guys. Look at the floor."
Emma: "What is that?"
Evelynn: "It looks like another dragon."
They looked down and saw a yellow dragon circling around what looked like two girls.
Evelynn: "They look like they're fusing together."
Emma: "That seems odd."
Emiri went to look but she fell on a string that made the whole chamber rumbled.
Bren: "Whoa!"
Mitch: "What the hell is going on?!"
They looked at the Turtle statue. A secret compartment opened up. When they looked inside, they saw it!
Emma: "Is that?"
Shiro: "It is!"
Evelynn: "The egg of the Turtle!"
Evelynn pick up the egg then put it in Mitch's shoulder bag.
Mitch: "Will that even carry it?! It feels heavy."
Evelynn: "You have demon strength. Man up."
Shiro: "Why don't we get out of here?"
As they snuck out of the tapestry, Lauren saw them sneak out of the museum. She then continued to follow them.
Shiro: "We need to lay low a bit."
Emma: "Why don't we do some shopping?"
Emiri: "Yeah!"
Mitch: "What about the egg?"
Bren: "It's going to stay into your bag."
Emiri: "Does this mean we'll get a new sibling?"
Mitch: "Probably so."
Back in London, while the students were enjoying the vacation, Elias stayed to finish up paperwork.
Chise: "Hey you think they're okay up there by themselves?"
Elias: "I believe so."
Secretary: "Sir. A very charming man is here to see you."
Elias: "Who is it?"
Secretary: "He is saying that he is Arthur's father."
Chise: "Arthur? Oh! Mitch."
Elias: "Are you serious?"
Chise: "What's Lucifer doing here?"
Elias: "He wasn't suppose to pick Mitch up until after his birthday. What does he want?"
Lucifer: "Hello."
Chise: "Good to uh…see you again?"
Elias: "What do you want Satan?"
Lucifer: "Just making sure you knew where our children were suppose to be."
Elias: "Of course I do."
Chise: "They're at our summer home. Mitch is safe."
Lucifer: "Why don't we go there now?"
Marielle: "I agree."
Elias: "Marielle?"
Chise: "Hey. What are you doing here?"
Elias: "I have not made my decision just yet."
Marielle: "I'm not here about that at the moment. Lauren has run away. I believe she went to where the children are."
Chise: "She wouldn't try to attack Evelynn again would she?"
Lucifer: "It seems me scaring her hasn't got through to her."
Marielle: "Who is this?"
Elias: "Marielle this is Lucifer Morningstar. Mitch's father."
Marielle: "His father?! The one that abandoned him and Rebecca?!"
Lucifer: "Bloody Hell Becky. What have you been telling these people?"
Chise: "Rebecca took Mitch away from Lucifer. Saying she was after her. That he only wanted Mitch as an heir. The Heir to the Underworld, Hell."
Marielle: "Wait wait wait. Lucifer Morningstar like THE Devil? Mitch's father is THE DEVIL?!"
Lucifer: "Shocking isn't it? But I have been framed by that accusation of my son's mother. Now shall we put that aside and think of our children? Because I believe they are not where you claim they are."
Back in China, it was around sunset. They saw many people getting ready for an event. They saw them tying red ribbons and saw children tying red strings on their fingers.
Emiri: "What are they doing?"
Emma: "Getting ready for a festival."
Mitch: "This must be the one that you were talking about."
Shiro: "The Red String of Fate. I guess it's that time of the year."
Bren: "Yeah. I remember the last one."
Evelynn: "The Red String of What now?"
Bren: "The Red String of Fate happens every 25 years. They have a festival that last 3 days."
Mitch: "What is it?"
Shiro: "It's a magic string."
Bren: "It is ACTUAL MAGIC."
Evelynn: "What does it do?"
Shiro and Bren: (smiling at each other)
Bren: "Let's just say…it ties two people together."
The next two days have passed. The kids were having a good time. Even Evelynn and Mitch were enjoying themselves like their fight was just a distant memory. Shiro and Bren fist bumped each other. Lauren was watching from a distance and thought to herself how this it too painful to watch.
Emiri: "Look up there!"
Bren: "The lanterns."
Evelynn: "Woah!"
Emma: "They're so breath taking. Mitch? Have you ever seen anything more beautiful in your life?"
Mitch: (looks at Evelynn) "Yeah. Yeah I have.."
Soon everyone was quickly coming at once. The kids were about to be trample by the crowd. Mitch then accidentally bumped into a dark-skin woman.
?: "Hey!"
Mitch: "I am so sorry!"
?: "You need to watch where you're going kid."
Mitch: "Please forgive me.."
?: "You're lucky I'm enjoying myself. Just be careful.." (looks closely at Mitch)
Mitch: "Is something the matter?"
?: "You just remind me of two people. Have we met before? What's you name kid?"
Mitch: "My name is Mitch."
Maze: "Mazikeen. You can call me Maze."
Evelynn: "Hey what's keeping you?"
Mitch: "Sorry. I…"
Evelynn: "Come on! They're gathering! Something's happening at the Square!"
Mitch: "Okay! I'm coming."
Maze: "….Brown hair, blue eyes…..Yet I'm seeing a DEVILISH charm on him….Who is this boy?"
Emma: "Found him?"
Evelynn: "Yeah."
Mitch: "What's going on?"
Evelynn: "Shh! Quiet!"
Shiro: "Fingers crossed."
Bren: "We leave this up to the Spirit of Fate."
Chinese Elder: "Wǎnshàng hǎo. Welcome everyone. Let me tell you of an old tale about fate and destiny. A magical connection between two people who are destined for each other."
They saw two people bring out an ancient chest. The old lady opened it. A glowing red string came out. It went onto the crowd. It then disappeared.
Emma: "Where did it go?"
Evelynn: "That string is magic."
Emiri: "Yeah."
Mitch: "Where could it be?"
Bren: (squeals)
Shiro: "I knew it."
Mitch: "What?"
Evelynn: "Dude…"
Emma: (shocked) "Mitch….YOUR HAND!"
Mitch: "What are you….(looks) WOAH! WHAT THE-?!"
Everyone was looking at him. The Chinese Elder smiled at him. They looked at the chest and saw the other half slithering to find it destined one.
Mitch: "This is too weird."
Emma: "Just breathe."
Bren: "You got this Mitch!"
Mitch: "What are you smiling about?"
Bren: "Nothing!"
Lauren: "Maybe it will pick me as Mitch's destined one. It's got to be me. Please let it be me."
Chinese Elder: "How string has found its significant other!"
Emma: "Oh boy.."
Evelynn: "God.. I pity the girl that will be stuck to you forever."
Shiro: (smiles)
Evelynn: "What?"
Bren: (squeals excitedly)
Evelynn: "What?!"
Emma: "I think you need to look at your hand."
Evelynn: "You guys are too weird. There is no way that string can bond anyone…..(looks at hand) WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!"
Mitch saw Evelynn had the red string tied on her. Some people pushed them up front to the Square right next to the elder lady. Lauren saw that Evelynn had the string tied on her hand.
Chinese Elder: "Congratulations young ones. You two are very lucky. The String of Fate connects those who are destine to meet no matter the time, place, or circumstance. It may stretch, tangle, tightened, even be knotted but it will never be broken apart."
Evelynn and Mitch: (looking at each other)
Chinese Elder: "May you two have a miraculous life together."
Much later, the kids were enjoying the last day of the festival. Mitch got Emiri some cotton candy while Evelynn just watched him while blushing. Emma unexpectedly sat next to her giving her a fright.
Evelynn: "Is this gonna be a thing with you?!"
Emma: "Some show huh?"
Evelynn: "Yeah talk about spurious..."
Emma: "Come on Little Sis. You know it's real."
Evelynn: "Okay! Yeah but why us? Why me and him?"
Emma: "I guess the String sees something that you two (under her breathe) or one of you can't see yet. Besides. Aren't you suppose to talk to him?"
Evelynn: (sighs)
Emma: (pushes her) "Get going."
Evelynn went up to him. Pulling on his shirt.
Evelynn: "Hey."
Mitch: "Hey."
Evelynn: (looks at Emma)
Emma: (mouthing) "Go on."
Evelynn: "Can we go some where and talk?"
Mitch: "Sure."
Lauren saw this then quickly followed after them. Evelynn and Mitch passed by Maze, the woman Mitch bumped into.
Maze: "I don't know why but something tells me to watch this boy. So much for my vacation…" (follows them)
Evelynn: "Get even more taller, you'll be around the same height as Dad."
Mitch: "Probably my dad."
They came to a bench near a pond. It was quiet between them. Evelynn saw Mitch scoot closer to her which made her blush.
Mitch: "Lynn…I…"
Evelynn: "I'm sorry."
Mitch: "What?"
Evelynn: "I was acting like a brat."
Mitch: "No no no no. I should've told you I was going to Hell."
Evelynn: "Emma also told me what you plan to do once you got there."
Mitch: "…."
Evelynn: "Looking for the bastard that kill your mom. And killing him too."
Mitch: "Lynn if you're trying to stop me from-"
Evelynn: "You should do it."
Mitch: "What?"
Evelynn: "Get the monster and make him suffer. Though.. it won't bring her back.."
Mitch: "I know. Thanks. For a moment there, I thought you were gonna tell me to let this go."
Evelynn: "Nah. You'll…you'll come back right?"
Mitch: (looks at her)
Evelynn: "You'll come back to us right? You won't stay there will you?"
Mitch: "Of course I won't. I won't stay home… I'll just be there for a whi-"
Evelynn: "THAT'S NOT YOUR HOME!" (tears)
Mitch: "Lynn.."
Evelynn: "Your home is with us.. With me.. I don't want you to go… I don't want you to forget me…"
Mitch just gave her a big hug which surprised her.
Mitch: "I won't."
Evelynn: "What if you do?"'
Mitch: "I mean it! I swear it."
Evelynn: (sniffles) "Really? Two weeks is a long time.."
Mitch: "I promise I will come back. I will never EVER forget you. I will be thinking about you when I'm there. Ever since I met you, no one has been worth thinking about. So wait for me will ya? I'll come back home. To you Lynn."
Evelynn: "Okay."
Mitch just got closer to her. He lift her chin up and kissed her deeply which surprised her. Lauren got a bit lost. When she finally wasn't, she saw the them kissing. With her own eyes. when they finished she saw smile on Mitch's face that she knows very well.
Lauren: "Huh.. I get it now… When we kissed after the dance, I was smiling. Grinning from ear to ear… Only he didn't. He only half-smile. But when they kissed just now, HE was grinning from ear to ear.. It all makes sense now. (tears) He really does love her…"
Without even thinking, Lauren stepped on a twig making it crack which Mitch heard. She saw that he was looking right at her. She quickly ran off.
Mitch: Lauren..
Evelynn: "What's wrong? Did you see something?"
Mitch: "It's fine. I'll be right back."
Evelynn: "Oh..okay?"
Lauren kept on running. She then stopped for a bit to make sure she wasn't being followed. She took a sigh of relief. As she turned back, boom, there was Mitch.
Lauren: "AAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Mitch: "What are you doing here?"
Lauren: "I…uh…"
Mitch: "You were following us weren't you?!"
Lauren: "Well yeah but…"
Mitch: "I bet you wanted to finish the job. Didn't you?"
Lauren: "No….It's not like-"
Mitch: "I swear Lauren! (demon eyes) If you put one hand on her, (demonic voice) I SWEAR…."
Lauren: "Calm down Mitch. Please put away the eyes.. I just wanna to talk.."
Mitch: (eyes turn back blue) "I'm not interested in what you have to say. Just go back to London alright?"
Lauren: "Mitch please you have to liste-"
Mitch: "I don't want you here! You are not right do you hear me? Don't talk to me until you get help!"
Lauren: "But Mitch…"
Mitch: "Just go away! I don't want to see you anymore! GO AWAY!"
Lauren: "You don't mean that.."
Mitch: "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I MEAN! DON'T TELL ME WHO TO LOVE!"
Lauren: "I'm sorry. That's what I wanted to say…"
Mitch: "Look. You need help. I feel like I don't even know who you are anymore. I can't even look at you."
Lauren: (crying) I'm sorry.."
Evelynn: "What is he doing?"
Evelynn walked a little further. She then came across an abandon area. As she looked around, something crept up to her. It was the same thing that Chise saw in the graveyard when she met Ruth. It started to open it mouth showing it's sharp teeth.
Evelynn: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Lauren: "What was that?"
Mitch: "?! No!"
Lauren: "That sounded like Evel-"
Mitch: (runs back) "GO HOME!"
Lauren: "…."
Evelynn: "Get away from me!" (takes out staff)
Ashen Eye: "Hello Dearest Daughter of Thorn."
Evelynn: "You.."
Ashen Eye: "I believe you have some thing that belongs to me. Where is the egg?"
Evelynn: "Shove it! I won't give it too you!"
Ashen Eyes: "You leave me no choice. Kill her."
Evelynn saw many and many demons heading her way. She turned her staff to a bow and arrow. One by one she was getting a bullseye off the demons. One even went to the eye and the throat. She started chanting a spell with one of her arrows. Demons came in a straight line. With one pull, she released the arrow. It looked like a railgun! Suddenly out of nowhere, a demon swung her across the field! She hit a boulder making her break a few ribs!
Shiro: "AAAAAHHH!"
Emma: "Shiro! What's the matter?"
Bren: "Xander!"
Shiro: "Evelynn is in danger!"
Evelynn tried her best to stand up with her staff. She wasn't going to go down that easy.
Evelynn: "You might as well kill me.. I'll never tell."
Some slashes came her way. She got ready to face the blast. Blood got out but it wasn't hers. She looked up and saw Mitch standing over her taking the hit!
Evelynn: "Arthur! You idiot!"
Ashen Eyes: "Well how about that. And here I thought he was a regular human. Finish them both."
Evelynn: "Don't make it sound weird!"
Mitch: "Don't make what-"
Evelynn: (carries him)
Mitch: "HEY HEY HEY!"
Evelynn carried him behind the bolder so he can try and heal himself.
Evelynn: "Pull yourself together. LITERALLY!"
Mitch: "Hehehe. Gotcha."
Evelynn: "Why did you do that? Why you always gotta play hero?"
Mitch: "I said I would come back."
Evelynn: "Dummy."
Mitch: "Look." (opens the bag)
Evelynn: "You did not just bring the egg with you! That's what he's after! That and our familiars!"
Mitch: "Sorry!"
Evelynn: "We gotta protect it!"
Mitch: "I know."
Demon: (RAWR)
Evelynn and Mitch: (SCREAMING)
From out of nowhere, an ax hit him on top of the head! They saw a woman pull it out. It was Maze.
Mitch: "Maze right?"
Evelynn: "You know her?"
Mitch: "Not exactly. I bumped into her at the festival."
Maze: "You mind wanna stop talking and starting killing some ass?"
Evelynn: "Right!" (takes out staff)
Mitch: "Yeah." (pulls out sword)
Maze: "?!" The Flaming Sword?!
Mitch and Maze started slicing up demons left and right while Evelynn started shooting more arrows at them. A demon started to pounce on Evelynn from behind but a white tiger jumped him and started tearing him about.
Evelynn: "That was too close.. Thanks a lot Shiro!"
Fire rain from above. Emiri and Bren were in their forms with Emma riding on Bren's back. She jumped down and let her staff turn into a big sakura flower shield protect Mitch and Maze.
Emma: "Who is this?"
Mitch: "Introductions later! Where's Lynn?"
Evelynn: Get out of here!"
Mitch: "Lynn!"
Evelynn: "What is it?"
Mitch: "We need to put the egg somewhere safe."
Evelynn: "How?"
Mitch swung his sword back and forth. Just like that, it opened a portal!
Evelynn: "When did you learn how to do that?!"
Mitch: "Just now."
Evelynn: "Seriously?!"
Ashen Eyes: "Stop them!"
Mitch: "Take the egg to my dad! Wherever he is!" (drops his bag)
Ashen Eyes: "NO!"
Elias, Chise carrying Blake, Marielle, and Lucifer looked around and saw that nobody was at the summer house.
Elias: "Where are they?"
Chise: "I'm beginning to worry Elias."
Lucifer: "Well this is a first for me. Defying me this way."
Elias: "Welcome to fatherhood."
Chise: "Sit right here baby. Eat your snack."
Blake: (looks at Lucifer)
Lucifer: "Oh bloody Hell!"
Blake: "Hi."
Lucifer: "Hehehe."
Blake: "Wanna try one?"
Lucifer: "Not now, not ever. Now begone third offspring."
Blake: (pouts) "You're mean." (kicks him)
Lucifer: "OW! Why you little…."
Elias: (stares at Lucifer)
Lucifer: "Ahem."
Elias: "Chise. Please get our son.."
Chise: "Gotcha. Honey no no no. No messing with the Devil."
Blake: "He mean."
Chise: "I know sweetie."
Lucifer sat down in a chair until suddenly, a portal opened up in front of him.
Lucifer: "What the me?!"
Blake: "What that?"
Just then Mitch's satchel fell on the couch.
Chise: "Is that?"
Lucifer: "My boy's satchel."
Marielle: "There's an egg inside."
Mitch: "DAD!"
Evelynn: "Lucifer!"
Lucifer: "Kids."
Mitch: "Dad! We're in Beijin-"
Evelynn: "MITCH WATCH OUT!"
Lucifer: "No no NO!"
Chise: "Easy Lucifer! We'll find them!"
Elias: "Did he say Beijing?"
Marielle: "We need to get there now! Our children our in danger!"
Emma: "Go away! I won't let you hurt our familiars!"
Bren: "Let's end him!"
Ashen Eyes: "Oooh. And who are you?"
Bren: "This is for my mother!"
Mitch: "Brenna! Wait!"
Emma: (puts up a shield)
Bren: "Stay out of the way!"
Maze: (slashes head off) "There is too many of them."
Evelynn: "She's right. We got the egg to your dad. Let's retreat!"
Mitch: "I have to protect her! She's my Familiar!"
Evelynn: "Fine. I'm going with you."
Mitch: "You still have broken ribs! I'll handle this. You stay put."
Evelynn: "Like Hell I will. I can handle myself!"
Mitch: "Lynn!"
Evelynn: "!?"
Maze: (raises eyebrow)
Mitch: "I already lost my mother.. I'm not losing you too!"
Evelynn: "Fine.."
Maze: "What a gutsy kid."
Mitch: "Hey three eyes! I'm Arthur Mitchell. Son of Lucifer Morningstar!"
Maze: (surprised) "Did he just say…"
Mitch: "YOU KEEP AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!"
Evelynn: "Hey! Get you head out of the clouds and put those axes to some use!"
Maze: "You're speaking my language girly."
They started fighting again. Most of the demons started to retreat. Ashen Eyes saw that Evelynn was fighting a strong one with her back turned to him. Lauren saw this also. Ashen Eyes commanded the last remaining demon to kill Evelynn. It was getting closer to her ready to strike her dead.
Lauren: (sighs, starts running) Evelynn Ainsworth… It bothers me to say this. But you are a good person to Mitch. You do more good for him than I ever could… The things I want in life, I know…(thinks of Mitch)…..no….I knew I could never have. And when it finally hit me right in the heart, all I did was stand there and be in the denial… But Mitch… He is a great guy. He has always helped me. Ever since we were babies. Mitch was always….ALWAYS there.. I can't thank him enough. Thank you Mitch. I finally get it. I understand now Mitch. I understand… That you're not in love with me…. I know that now.. I'll do this for you. I owe you that much…. (pushes Evelynn out the way)
Evelynn: "Wha?! Lauren?!"
Right in front of her, Evelynn watched as Lauren took the slash herself. Mitch saw blood escape her body extremely. Evelynn caught her and they both fell. Evelynn held Lauren in her arms trying to stop the bleeding while Maze threw her axe at the beast while Mitch stabbed it with the sword. Over and over.
Mitch: "LAUREN!"
Emma: "Oh my God! Lauren!"
Evelynn: "God! You idiot! What is with you?! (tears) You are the most confusing Witch I have ever met in my life! First you try to kill me! Now you save me! What the fuck?!"
Lauren: (weakliy) "Eve….lynn….(touches her cheek) I'm sorry for what I did and not accepting your relationship with Mitch…"
Evelynn: "Apologize later. You need to save your strength."
Lauren: "I need to say this…(breathing heavily) Let me say this. I could never understand what Mitch saw in you. But I get it now. I was wrong. Forgive me for not understanding.. I'm sorry…"
Evelynn: "It's fine already. Now shut up! Help is on the way."
Lauren: "There something else you should know. It's about the prophecy.. the two girls… I….I seen…"
Evelynn: "You seen them?! Where?"
Lauren: (holds her hand) "You and Emma….need to look in the mirror…"
Evelynn: "What? No it can't be…."
Lauren: "It's true. It's you two. It has always been you two. Ashen Eyes was trying to stop the prophecy from coming true. To kill you… your parents knew since we were little kids…"
Evelynn: "Mom and Dad knew this…?"
Lauren: "They wanted to protect you both. They're parents after all. Don't be mad at them. Please Evelynn.."
Evelynn: "Lauren…"
Lauren: "Please defeat him! You and Emma are the Chosen Ones. You have to! Destroy him and save the world… And also…..tell Mom…..I'm sorry…."
Evelynn: "Lauren…"
Lauren: "…"
Evelynn: "Lauren!"
Elias: "Kids!"
Lucifer: "Arthur!"
Mitch: "Dad!"
Marielle: "Lauren!"
The parents had found the kids. Maze slipped away so she wouldn't be spotted. When they got there, Elias and Chise were the first to see. When Marielle saw Elias trying to find a pulse on Lauren. She was barely holding on. She dropped to her knees holding Lauren's hand then started to cry.
The next day, the twins and Mitch were all waiting outside Lauren's hospital room.
Emma: "She's still in the emergency room.."
Evelynn: "Been in there all night.."
Mitch: "It's all my fault… I said terrible things to her…"
Emma: "I did too… I was so mean to her….. I slapped her. She didn't deserve this….Why did she do that?"
Evelynn: "She wanted to save me… This was what I was afraid of. Someone got hurt… Someone we cared for. We treated her badly and now look."
Mitch: "I didn't mean it…. I never wanted her to go away! I can't be without my best friend in the world.."
Emma: (rubs his back) "Why don't we pray?"
Evelynn: "Pray?"
Emma: "Yeah. Let's ask Him to make sure that Lauren recovers."
Evelynn: "It's a longshot. Okay."
Mitch: "Grandfather. Please hear us."
Emma: "We have a very dear friend who is on the brink of death."
Evelynn: "Please let her be okay"
A mystery man came by to look at Lauren. He passed by the waiting area. Mitch saw him and had a suspicious feeling. When he got to Lauren's room, he put his hand on the window. Just as the doctors were about to pull the plug, it happened. A miracle. Lauren started breathing. Mitch then saw the man leaving. After him Marielle came in with great news.
Marielle: "She's going to live!"
Emma: "Really?!"
Evelynn: "Guess your grandpa works in mysterious ways."
Mitch: "Yeah."
Lucifer: "Guess she'll live to see another day thanks to Dad."
Mitch: "I don't know."
Chise: "What's wrong Mitch?"
Mitch: "I saw a dark-skinned man headed to and from Lauren's room. He was bald."
Lucifer: "?!"
Emma: "Bald?"
Mitch: "Yeah!"
Lucifer: "Did he have a beard?"
Mitch: "How do you know that?!"
Lucifer: (under his breathe) "Amenadiel…"
Elias: "Who are you talking about?"
Lucifer: "I must go."
Mitch: "Dad! Wait!"
Evelynn: "I'm glad she's going to be okay."
Elias: "I'm glad all of you are alright."
Chise: "Same here."
Emma: "We're sorry that we spent our vacation in China."
Chise: "I'm just glad you two are alright."
Evelynn: "….."
Elias: "Is something on your mind Evelynn?"
Evelynn: "No…."
Mitch: "Dad. Where are you going?"
Lucifer: "I'm letting you be with your friends. I have to deal with some FAMILY business."
Mitch: "We're okay right?"
Lucifer: "Of course. Though if you lie to me again, I'll punish you."
Mitch: "Got it. So I'll see you at my party?"
Lucifer: "I wouldn't miss this for the world. And as soon as we deal with the other matter, we can be a proper family. You'll see." (hugs him)
Mitch: "See ya Dad."
Evelynn: "Hey."
Mitch: "Hey."
Evelynn: "This is good right?"
Mitch: "Of course. This is good news."
Evelynn: "I'm glad we got the egg before he did."
Mitch: "Yeah. Just wait till I get my hands on him.. If those girls don't get him, I'll do it myself."
Evelynn: "It's not up to you. Because…"
Mitch: "What is it?"
Evelynn: (thought about how he got hurt) "It's nothing."
