A.N. This chapter is dedicated to maliaphire for being the first reviewer to my last chapter. I would also like to thank BillThePonyLlama, Koizak, Mrs. Nikki Slater for reviewing to every chapter so far.
maliaphire: I never said a person would be exchanged, did I? And the angels have only been called on once, before they had come to Suze on their own free will.
Mrs. Nikki Slater: Yes, fluff is always good.
Paulie Puddin' Pie: I can't answer that question, but I can say what I said before and that is that I never said a person would be exchanged.
Koizak: Happy ending…I'll think about it…
BillThePonyLlama: Ha! I left you baffled. I like that.
swishalicious girlie: …
Katey: I never said it was going to be a who… And the chapters made you cry? That's interesting.
CeeCeeCaffeine: Yeah…she kind of does. Why are you depressed?
mandieC: Happy ending…You never know…
PanPan: Florida is awesome, but my so-called mother lives there and I hate her, so I respectfully hate Florida. And yes, you are ruining the books by reading fanfics…so read the books.
Havoc and Harmony
The Choices We Make
Suze's POV-
"What do you mean another exchange? I already told you-"
Paul had a sound of annoyance in his voice when he spoke, "We know what you told us. We have already gone over ever other option and decided it wouldn't work. But we think this will."
I was a little confused to say the least. "I don't understand… Who are you going to exchange? I really doubt that you would willingly give up your life like that."
He looked exasperated now, "I never said that it would be a human exchange."
Okay, even more confused now. Is it just me, or do he just not make sense?
"Querida, you have to understand… The Angels have thought of every possible way that we could bring you back. We can't do it any Mediator means." He still had the look of utter pain on his face. I didn't want to see it on his face ever. I hadn't meant what I said to hurt him that much. Just getting the words out of my mouth hurt me more than seeing him convening with girls in his classes and stuff.
Paul added at Jesse's pause, "Or shifter."
"Right. I looked through every text there was on the subject and nothing even came close to helping. Until I thought of something." Jesse put his arms around my waist and kissed my neck lightly.
I held in a little moan of pleasure and said slightly huskily, "And what was that?"
"That these Angels aren't people. They have powers over the living or the dead and everything, but they aren't people. We are. We know the emotions and feelings that other humans get. I was looking through some of these texts and read that they would eliminate anyone who were to wreak havoc on the world."
"So what? You guys are going to wreak havoc on the world so your both eliminated?" I said sarcastically.
Jesse shook his head amusedly, "No, we plan on doing something a little more…devious."
Paul started explaining before I could ask, "You see; there's a balance in the world. Between the living and the dead. Most humans don't know about ghosts and what happens after death because they can't handle it. It would upset the balance. People who do find out about ghosts and can't handle it, are eliminated. That's why special consideration is taken in choosing Mediators and shifters. We're just planning to cross the line of the balance until they have no choice but to bring you back."
I looked back and forth from the both of them and pushed away from Jesse and said, "You're both insane!"
They both shook their heads and Jesse asked, "How did you come in contact with them last time?"
"Well, the first time they cam to me. After that, they said that I could call them by thinking them to me." I pondered their idea for a minute. It was ridiculous. It would never work. "You guys do know that you run the risk of being eliminated yourselves too."
They nodded and Jesse came over to me. He gave me a lingering kiss and said, "It's a risk worth taking."
"What's in it for you Paul?"
He shrugged. There was something in this for him, I just didn't know what it was. "Why don't I give you two some time alone before we go through with our little scheme."
I looked into Jesse's eyes as he slowly smiled at me. I vaguely heard Paul close the door behind him as he left. I also distantly wondered how much time I had until Jesse and I couldn't communicate anymore.
Jesse had a look of humor and love in his eyes before they were out of my range of view and his lips found mine. I instinctively put my arms around his neck and my hands combed his longish hair. He kissed me slowly and deliberately until I thought I would melt into a puddle on the floor at his feet. God, I love him. He pushed me back against the bed and pulled his lips from mine.
"Te amo, Querida." He said some other stuff in Spanish, but I didn't understand him. The words were said in a tone of endearment, so I could only assume they were positive. Actually, knowing Jesse, they were totally positive. No guessing is needed.
"Hmm." I stroked my hands down his arms and held on to them for dear life. Jesse's mouth was scorching over my own. I could feel his arms go from around my waist to under my shirt. Not far of course, but just enough where he was stroking the skin of my hip. He was still really old fashioned in his ways. Not that I was disappointed with that, I love him just the way he is.
I lost all thought after a while and I only knew that Jesse was right there and kissing me and I loved him.
I vaguely heard a throat being cleared, but I didn't pay attention to it. Well, until I was physically ripped away from Jesse.
"Hey!"
"Come on, we don't have a lot of time before the affect wears off and we have to talk to them before that. I gave you guys enough time." He gave us a trademark smirk and pulled Jesse into a sitting position. "She that good huh?"
Jesse glared at him, but he didn't say anything. I walked back into his arms and his smile was back on his face. At least I could change his mood for the better. That's a good thing, especially if Jesse and Paul were in the same room with each other. I gave him a small kiss. It would have gone deeper, but Paul was right there and ready to complain.
"Okay, let's do this then."
It took them a minute to explain everything to me. You know; the rules and the whole staying out of the way thing that Jesse added.
"Okay, I hope this works."
And just as I closed my eyes to gather the concentration, the door was slammed open and swung back on its hinges. In the doorway there was a very disheveled looking girl and behind her a guy walking slowly as though the woman he was with hadn't just caused a scene in a college dorm. My boyfriend's college dorm no less.
I stared at her surprised by her entrance, "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Havoc and this is my sister Harmony. We came to stop you from doing what you were about to do."
A.N.: Hehehe. Cliffie. I'm awful aren't I? Anyway, sorry about the wait. I'll try to make the next update faster. But review for me, please?
