Chapter 20

"Is Miss Taylor alright?" asks Charlie as he opens the door for Eli who is carrying Madison in his arms.

"Yes Charlie. Everything is fine. I'll take her upstairs now, These three are with me. She gave me the password." Says Eli as he smiles at Charlie.

Charlie just nods and motions for the desk clerk to push the button for the elevator.

They arrive at the elevator just as the doors open. They walk in and the doors close. Skaura pushes the button for the penthouse but the elevator doesn't move.

"Li hold Maddi for a second." Says Eli as he pushes her into his arms. Eli then opens a panel and types in the password without the others seeing it. The elevator starts and Eli takes Madison back from Li.

They reach the top floor and walk into the apartment and Eli heads right for Madison's room leaving the others behind him.

"This is some place she has here." Gasps Meilin as she looks around.

"Yeah you should see her closet. It's the next floor up." Says Sakura as she sits down in a chair.

Eli lays Madison on the bed and he walks into her bathroom and wets a facecloth with luke warm water. He comes back into the bedroom and gently sits on the bed beside Madison and he gently begins to wipe her face down.

Madison wakes up and sits up with a start to come face to face with Eli.

"I'm glad you woke up." Says Eli as he smiles.

"What happened?"

"What's the last thing you remember?" asks Eli softly.

"Walking across the dance floor and realizing that I can't run from him forever, and then the next thing I know I wake up here."

"I'll fill you in later but now you should rest. I'll tell the guys your ok and send them home and I'll come back in with you."

"Um ok." Says Madison as she watches Eli stand up and head for the door.

Eli walks out into the living room and smiles at the others, "She's fine, she just woke up but she doesn't remember a thing. About the wings and everything. You guys can head home."

"Um Eli." Says Meilin as she stands up and walks over to him.

"Yeah?"

"Here, I um found these before we left the club. I think you may want them." Says Meilin as she opens her hands and reveals a few violet feathers.

"Thanks Meilin." Says Eli as he takes the feathers. "I'll see you guys in a week."

"Sure thing boss." Says Li as he gets up and heads for the elevator, with Sakura and Meilin following.

After Eli is sure Skaura, Li and Meilin have left he walks back to the bedroom to try and explain everything to Madison.

"Eli that didn't happen. How could I grow wings and do what you have just told me?" asks Madison as Eli finishes explaining the events that she couldn't remember.

"I don't know Maddi but Ruby knew long ago that it would happen. She warned me about it but I never knew what she meant. I do have proof from Meilin." Says Eli as he sits in front of Madison and opens his hands showing her the feathers.

Madison takes a feather and all the event slip back into her mind. "Oh my god. It did happen." Groans Madison as she starts to cry.

Eli pulls Madison into his lap and hugs her close while she cries.

"What's going to happen to Parks?" asks Madison between sobs.

"I don't know that's not my department, but I would say he will be thrown in jail for a long time." Says Eli as he plays with Madison's hair.

"So it's over. My suffering and the horror that he will come back is gone. I'm safe again." Says Madison as she sits back and looks into Eli's eyes.

"I will never let anyone hurt you again, ever." Says Eli sternly.

"I love you Eli Moon." Says Madison with a smile as she wipes away her tears.

"And I love you my Maddi."

Madison hugs Eli causing him to fall backward and her to go with him, laughing.
