Chapter 54

Christian

After all of the drama of the day he sat with his family and friends Ana sat next to him her head resting on his shoulder laughing as she watched Elliot try to glamour a drink. He had been trying for at least half an hour and he still hadn't figured it out to his utter frustration.

Benji how ever was figuring out his powers quite quickly and took total delight in Glamoring drinks for Elliot tapping him on the shoulder with an 'it's ok buddy you will get it eventually until then you have Ava look she is doing really well' he would then shimmer away before Elliot could punch him making everyone crease up with laughter.

"You know what Ana I don't think what ever you did has worked on me. I can't do shit. Can you not bring the big man back and get him to fix me." He was shaking his hand and hitting it of the table like that would fix it. Christian had to hide his smile behind his glass when Elliot looked over to Ana for help.

"Elliot your over thinking it." She sat up and put her drink down and all he could do was sit back and watch her in all her glory. "Ok Elliot what drink do you like?" He looked up thinking about it the looked back at her.

"I would really love an ice cold beer if I'm honest." She smiled at him and nodded down to his hand, where he was now holding an ice cold beer.

"See you were over thinking it." She sat back and snuggled back into him. He fucking loved this woman so much and seeing how she has taken everything that has happened to her with such grace and strength she never stopped amazing him.

Elliot laughed then looked over to Benji "Ha and you thought I couldn't do it." Izzy hit him on the arm looking at him with a raised eyebrow and folding her arms.

"Where is my drink until I get my own powers that's your job so I would like a red wine please." Elliot looked back at Ana.

"I don't want a glass of red wine how do I glamour things I don't want." Ana laughed at him before speaking again.

"Elliot honey you had better decide you want a glass of red or from the look on Izzy's face you will be sleeping on the sofa." He looked at Izzy terrified then closed his eyes like he was concentrating. "Elliot stop over thinking it. Just decide you want the wine and you will have it."

All of a sudden a glass of red wine appeared in his other hand and he cheered at the same time they heard giggles from the children who were sat in the dining area on big bean bags that Ava had glamoured so they could all go and play. All apart from Ella who was asleep in one of the twins old push chairs.

The kids laughter had everyone smiling until they suddenly heard barking followed by excited screams. Oh fuck he thought as he pinched the bridge of his nose as Ana and Izzy jumped up to see what they had done.

They came back in Izzy holding a puppy of some kind. "Well Christian it would seem that when Ava showed everyone a picture on her phone of the husky puppy she has always wanted our darling twins thought it would be lovely to give her just that. This my love is something you can talk to them about I have zero energy tonight." She came and sat back down as the children all walked back into the room looking heartbroken. Oh fuck he was going to suck at this.

He turned to look at Ana who was sat back smiling at him holding her hand out towards the children. "Christian I am exhausted I have had to deal with a lot today as I know you have However I can not be the only parent who disciplines them and also I have enough to deal with tomorrow so this one handsome is all on you." He growled at her but she just winked back at him not in the slightest bit intimidated by him. He missed the days he could just get people to do things for him.

Looking at all the children Ava, Mia and Jamie all had tears streaming down their faces and the twins were looking at them like they just wanted to take their pain away from them. His heart was breaking. "What's happening with the puppy?" He decided asking Ana more questions was easier than giving the children a telling of but it was Elliot that answered him now Ana.

"Dude we are so keeping the puppy, Izzy please can we keep the puppy look at him he is awesome." Elliot was holding the puppy now and he had him in the air looking at him like he was the best thing in the world.

She sighed but looked at the children especially Ava and Christian could here how heart breaking tonight had been for Izzy watching Ava so scared he also knew what her answer was and he was so pleased because he now knew that by the time he spoke to the twins they would no longer be upset. Thank fuck for that.

"Fine but let me tell you now, I will not be walking it, I will not be cleaning up after it and you WILL get a dog Trainor Am I clear." The kids all squealed and ran over to hug their parents and their new dog he could see Izzy smiling at the dog and he knew she secretly liked it. He had to admit it was kinda cute just as he was thinking it Ana hit his arm getting his attention.

"Do. not. think. about. it. Ok we have enough to deal with, now you have two little children who need talking to. You haven't got out of that just because everything has worked out."

"Fine." He huffed turning around to face the twins. "Abigail, Theo come here please." They walked over with their hands behind their backs and their big eyes looking up at him. Oh this part of being a parent was so shit.

"Sweethearts you can't do what you just did just because someone says they want something doesn't mean they can get it."

They looked thoughtful for a second. "Do you mean like when Uncle Lelliot wanted a drink but couldn't get one?" Christian couldn't help the laugh that came out at the look on Elliot's face. He couldn't speak from laughing and when he looked to Ana for help she was laughing as well. Eventually it was Benji that answered for him.

"No Kids Uncle Elliot couldn't get a drink because he was a bit slow learning how to use magic that's all." They looked so confused which he could understand after all the had been glamoring things pretty much since they were born.

"Why uncle Lelliot it's real easy do you want us to teach you." Elliot shook his head no and was looking like he wanted to get up and walk out of the room while everyone else was laughing.

Once Christian calmed himself down he got their attention again. " No sweethearts that's not what I mean. Ok so If uncle Elliot or Aunty Izzy couldn't have or didn't want the puppy then they wouldn't keep it which would leave Ava, Mia and Jamie really sad. So in future you need to ask before you glamour something so that we don't risk upsetting anyone ok?" They both nodded their heads smiling.

"Ok Daddy we're sorry we won't do it again, promise." It was Theo who answered holding his sisters hand. Ok so that went better than he had been expecting. He let the twins jump on to his knee and snuggle down and very quickly they were asleep.

"Ana honey we need to get the twins to bed." He looked over at her to see her looking at Ava with a frown. "Kitten what's wrong are you ok?" She looked away from Ava to look at him.

"Yeah I have just had an idea can you take the twins up and put them to bed please I glamoured a bed for them in the nursery we can sort their bedrooms out properly after tomorrow. We need to talk to Izzy and Elliot and Ava about tomorrow." Oh shit she was going to tell them.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" She smiled and nodded giving him a quick kiss.

"Yes they are owed that." He agreed then stood to take the twins up stairs.

Ana

Watching Christian leave to put the Twins to bed she stood to walk over to Izzy and Elliot. Christians brothers had left soon after Zeus. So had Huldah and Beal after Huldah had told them she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go and sleep. So it was literally just Ana's family still here.

"Guys we need to talk when Christian comes down." Izzy looked up at her a little worried.

"Why do you look so worried Ana is everything ok."

"Yeah I just have to talk to you about what I am doing tomorrow and now that all the younger children are asleep we can talk."

"Well should Ava put on her head phones cause she isn't asleep and if you think this is something that the children shouldn't hear then we should probably make sure she isn't listening." Elliot was reaching for Ava's head phones as he was speaking.

"No Elliot she needs to hear what I have to say." Christian walked in the room and walked over to her as everyone else crowded round them to hear what she was about to say.

"Ok as you heard tomorrow I will be going to get someone called Lilith. " They nodded saying nothing more. "Ok don't freak out you have to understand that what I did is my job now. Ava honey remember those drawings that you would get from your dreams." Ava nodded. "Did anyone else ever see them?" Izzy held her hand up a little looking scared.

" Well they weren't dreams sweetie someone who was trying to get to us. The ones responsible for my death, used you because you are my niece and because you are the oldest of the children and because you had powers that they could sense. We believed at the time you have similar powers to an oracle which is a psychic ability. I know now for certain that you do possess those powers however they will take time to develop. Before anyone asks I will explain those powers another time. Anyway I don't think they expected that you would draw what you were seeing and we would see them and figure out something was wrong. In fact I am quite certain that they had no idea you would do that."

"Ana what are you talking about what was Ava seeing I'm confused." Izzy sounded a little impatient and she didn't blame her.

"I am sorry I am not explaining this properly because I am trying not to scare you but I think it's best to just say it. Christians brother who wanted to take Christians throne from him and also wanted to kill me for reasons that are unimportant now. Well he teamed up with an incredibly powerful witch called Lilith who he was actually supposed to marry . He had convinced her that she would become his Queen and rule over hell by his side once they defeated Christian. When they lost the fight against us they were imprisoned to await both mine and Christians judgement." She looked around seeing everyone listening like she was telling them the most interesting story they had ever heard.

Glamoring a drink she downed it and carried on. "We went to hell right before we started to plan the wedding before Christian saw what Ava was drawing. The judgement that we gave for Christians brother was eternity in a prison world in the lowest levels of hell called Tartarus. The judgement I gave for Lilith because she was showing remorse was death and then peace in heaven." Everyone gasped at this and moved back from Ana like they were now scared of her.

She carried on knowing what she told them next would soon change how they feel about Ana killing someone. "When Christian saw what Ava was drawing he was scared." She tried to continue but was interrupted by a very scared sounding Izzy.

"Why what did she draw."

"She was drawing Demons that Christian recognised She was also drawing Tartarus but not just Tartarus she was drawing what Asmodeous Christians brother was seeing in Tartarus. They had used the Psychic power inside Ava to connect her to Asmodeous so that what he experienced she would also experience and after Lilith's death the connection started growing so she was seeing more of what he was seeing and eventually she would also start to feel what he was feeling. Tartarus is a prison world as I said what I should have also told you is that each cell holds a different form of torture." Izzy grabbed a shaking Ava to her as Elliot put his hands around them both.

"Well she hasn't been hurt so you stopped it thank fuck for that thank you both so much." Eliot was talking but not looking away from Ava.

"We haven't broke the connection yet." He looked up horrified. "We need Lilith to do it. All we could do for now is stop what ever was being done to Asmodeous."

"Why the fuck haven't you dragged the bitch back already and broke the link or whatever you said." Ana looked at Benji who looked like he was close to losing it as he was talking.

"Benji sit please and listen, do you think if I could have I would have waited to break the link. I couldn't go up there until the coronation. That happened today I needed my full powers. So tomorrow I will go and I will drag her back and she will receive the punishment she deserves. However Izzy and Elliot I wanted to ask and I am not sure it's possible for you yet Izzy as you don't yet have your powers."

Christian interrupted her obviously sensing where she was going with this. "Ana it's possible if they want to I will make it happen."

She smiled her gratitude before turning back to Izzy and Elliot. "Ok I wanted to ask if you want to be there when she receives her punishment." Izzy looked at her family before speaking never looking away from them.

"How bad could it have got" Ana swallowed the bile that rose in her throat at what she was about to say.

"Izzy it got bad, she felt his pain but only for a few minutes before we stopped the torture being done to him. This happened the day before the dinner party that we had here, when you got here we saw both you and Ava looking drained and so sad Ava had been having nightmares about what happened and what she was seeing. So Christian wiped your memories." Izzy stood up and grabbed Ana's hand pulling her out of the room.

"What was his torture I need to know Ana please." Ana felt tears at the memory of what Ava had felt.

"His punishment is to burn in Tartarus for eternity." Izzy put her hand over her mouth before running to the kitchen and throwing up in the sink. Izzy continued to throw up as Ana rubbed her back when Christian and Elliot walked in.

"What the fuck happened Izzy, baby are you ok?" He was pulling her into his arms now that she had stopped being sick.

"No I'm not ok I'm fucking raging." She pushed away from Elliot tears staining her cheeks. "She was fucking burning Elliot Christian's sick twisted brother's torture is that he burns forever that is what our baby felt."

Elliot started to shake purple and white lines started to appear on any exposed skin she could see he grew at least half a foot taller huge purple wings exploded from his back they weren't feather though. They looked like they were glass, but it was a glass that moved like liquid they were incredible.

Everyone just stood looking at him, he was magnificent. He looked so fucking badass especially when dark purple flames appeared in his hands. Yeah he looked awesome but he needed to calm down before he set fire to the apartment.

"Errrr Elliot." She looked down at his hands and he followed what she was looking at before he closed his fists the flames immediately extinguished.

"I want to be there tomorrow." He flinched when his voice came out sounding like it had a natural echo to it. She watched as he slowly returned to his other form.

"I guess we know what you look like in your other form." She smiled at him when he looked a little unsure of himself he looked over to Izzy who was panting with a mixture of pain, fear and lust in her eyes.

"Izzy what about you?" Izzy nodded her head then turned to face her.

"Ana I may not have powers yet but I want to see that bitch burn and get at least one good hit in with each of them." Christian coughed and smiled before stepping up to Ana pulling her into his Arms.

"I may have a better idea Izzy, if you don't mind something a little more gruesome than a little punch to the face. What are your limits at what you will do to them?" Izzy shook her head.

"I don't have any I would take great pleasure in hurting both of them. Why what are you thinking?" He smiled

"Something that to our kind is the ultimate humiliation which will be perfect before they go to their new homes in Tartarus. Let's go and discuss it more. Those head phones will be needed Elliot after all because what I am about to suggest is not something Ava needs to hear."

With that they all walked back into the lounge were her family were still sat. As Christian told them about his idea that horrified Kate, Benji and Ray until they told them what Ava had felt. They still looked a little sick at the thought but she knew when they had children one day they would understand the blood lust you felt if someone hurt your children. Izzy, Elliot and Carla were all smiling the same smiles that were on hers and Christians face. She couldn't have thought of a more amazing brutal humiliation for them.

She felt so much pleasure knowing the pain they would be in tomorrow and Lilith still had no idea anything was wrong. They all said their good nights eager for tomorrow to come.
