Chapter 15

"Eli what's going on? Why am I healing?" asks Madison letting the worry show in her voice.

Eli just shrugs his shoulders and watches Madison's wounds heal. Soon the feeling stops and Madison sighs.

"Madison I don't mean to be rude but stand up and take your pants off." Says Eli as he looks into Madison's eyes.

Madison stands up and unzips her pants and lets them fall to the floor at her ankles. "Oh my god, all my scars are gone. All of them."

Eli grabs the waist of Madison's pants and pulls them back up around her waist. Madison zips up her pants and pulls on her shirt.

"Madison listen to me. Go into my bathroom," he points to a door Madison hadn't noticed. "and I want you to check yourself and tell me if anything has changed."

"What do you mean Eli?"

Eli gently takes Madison's right hand and places it on her groin, "Tell me if anything has changed."

Madison blushes but looks at Eli oddly, she sees the seriousness in his eyes so she nods and walks into the bathroom. Eli paces around his office thinking, 'The propecy. It's can't be happening. I'm not even sure how, we will have to stop off at Ruby's and I will ask her.'

Madison comes out of the bathroom a few minutes latter with an odd look on her face.

"Well?" asks Eli as he hangs up the phone and looks at Madison.

"This is strange. I'm sealed again, Eli how can that happen? I'm not a virgin, how can it be sealed?"

"Madison we have to go to see an old friend of mine. Her name is Ruby, she can help explain this better than I can."

"Can't you tell me?" asks Madison as she starts to get very worried.

Eli senses Madison's emotions and walks up to her and pulls her into a big hug, "Maddi I'm not sure why this is happening, or how. But Ruby does, I know she does. Please come and see her?"

"Ok, I'll go with you. But what are you going to tell them?" asks Madison as she nods her head to the outer office.

"I'm going to tell them we are leaving and won't be back till tomorrow. But Madison I'm going to say this, if it turns out to be what I think. I suggest we take a week off and be together." Says Eli softly as he caresses Madison's cheek with his hand.

"I'll race you down stairs." Giggles Madison as she runs for the door and unlocks it and pulls it open, running right into Meilin and Sakura who were on the other side. "Hey!" gasps Madison as the three of them fall into a heap on the floor.

Eli grabs something off his desk and walks over to the girls. Li helps Meilin and Sakura up and Eli helps Madison up.

"Come on Maddi. Sorry guys I'm taking the rest of the day off. Li's in charge. See ya tomorrow." Says Eli as he leads Madison to the door.

As they walk by Li's desk Eli puts what he was holding in his hand on the desk and leaves with Madison.

"Why are they leaving?" asks Sakura as she looks at Li's desk, "Li what's that?" she asks pointing to a small red ruby.

"I know why they left. He's gone to see Ruby." Says Li as he picks up the ruby and looks at Sakura and Meilin.

"Ruby why is he going to see her?" asks Meilin.

"It's about Madison. Now get back to work." Says Li as he sits down at his desk.

"Eli where does this Ruby live?" asks Madison as Eli drives through the bad part of town.

"Here." Says Eli as he parks by the curb in front of a ugly, brick apartment building.

"Um Eli I'm not feeling so good about this. I can sense something strange." Says Madison as she looks up at the building.

"I know don't worry about it. Just stay with me." Says Eli as he climbs out of the car and walks up onto the sidewalk and waits for Madison to get out.

Madison sighs and gets out of the car and follows Eli into the building. They climb the stairs to the third floor and Eli knocks on the only door on this floor. The door opens but no one is there. Eli pulls Madison inside and closes the door.

Madison looks around the apartment and smiles, it's decorated very warmly and it's painted in many soothing colors. Eli leads Madison down a hallway to a single door, he opens it and walks in. Madison follows him and sees a tall girl sitting on a pile of pillows. She has long ruby color hair, and dark red eyes. Madison looks around and sees many scrolls and swords all over the place.

"Ruby have you found anything out yet?" asks Eli as he kneels in front of the girl.

"She is in tact am I right?" asks Ruby looking at Madison.

Madison nods and knells beside Eli.

"I found the scroll. Eli you two were meant to be together. I always told you, you would find the angel that is waiting for you. My dear Madison, have all your scars healed from just the one kiss?"

"Oh well yes. But why?" says Madison a little unnerved.

"Don't worry, I am here to help not to hurt. I will explain. Eli was always meant for another woman, his parents wanted none of this nonsense, so they forced him to ask a woman to marry him. But when Eli started having dreams about the angel with violet wings I knew that he had to break it off. I told him what he needed to know at the time and he did. He broke the girl's heart, and he angered his parents. They disowned him and so Eli came to live with me until he was able to live on his own. What I never told Eli was that he had the power to heal the girl he was destined for with only one kiss. All he had to know is that he loved this girl with all his heart. That is why you have healed. Eli loves you. But when you kissed him back showing the same feelings for him, you took the healing one step further and made yourself a virgin again. This would only happen when love from the heart was on both sides. It will only happen once and never again."

"But why did it happen in the first place?" asks Madison as she takes hold of Eli's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.

"You have always felt ruined after what happened to you. You felt that you should be clean for Eli am I right?"

Madison nods, amazed that this Ruby girl knows so much.

Ruby smiles, "You cleaned yourself. Now you must go. Don't come back to me. Eli I will leave soon and I want to remember you this way, happy and in love with your angel."

Madison is shocked at that Ruby says but Eli nods and stands up.

"Come Maddi let's go."

"Oh but Eli." Says Madison not being able to take her eyes off Ruby.

"Maddi come on." Says Eli a bit more sternly.

"Go Madison. Do not worry about me. I have been waiting for my time long enough." Says Ruby.

Madison mouths the words, 'thank you' as she gets up to follow Eli.

"Oh Eli please take your sword. And take the other one too." Says Ruby.

Eli grabs two swords and leaves with Madison.

"Eli she is a strange girl." Says Madison once they are outside on the sidewalk again.

"She is, well was my guardian. She's gone now." Says Eli as he gets into the car.

Madison looks up at the building and sees it's only two stories.
