A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to CeeCeeCaffeine(the spatula) for being the first to review to my last chapter. I would also like to thank BillThePonyLlama, Koizak, and Mrs. Nikki Slater for reviewing to every chapter. Ahhh...I have writer's block. So, can you guys please forgive my awful chapter? Cause it sucks.
CeeCeeCaffeine: Cliffies do suck, but I love writing them. And the spoons are very stupid.
Koizak: I never said that I wasn't evil. I can be very evil when I want to be.
Mrs. Nikki Slater: Thanks so much for the review.
mandieC: Yes, very mysterious names. Lol.
BillThePonyLlama: EWW! JUMP PAUL! GROSS! Sorry, that was too perfect to pass up. You have green-carrot-eating sox? I want them. And I want to see your smackdown, please continue. And I'll believe you about the superly long word…thing.
PanPan: You don't have to wait any longer. The chapter is here.
maliaphire: Yes, Havoc is the brother and Harmony is the sister. I can't say much more than that without ruining the chapter.
squirrelsrcute: Thanks so much for the review. I think squirrels are cute too. Actually, everyone I know thinks I'm weird because I want to take over the world with them. But, that could be because I want to kill all the humans though.
greedie: Thanks for reviewing.
Dealings With Lives
The Choices We Make
Suze's POV-
Jesse moved in front of me in a protective manner, but that didn't stop me from getting a good look at the two of them. The guy, Havoc, had blonde spiked hair and a lip ring. He was about Jesse's height and considerably hot, but Jesse is still way better. The girl, Harmony, was about my height with the same color hair as her brother and a nose ring. I guess that they were twins. They looked uncannily like each other.
Paul looked at them with malice, "And how do you know what our plans are?"
Harmony stocked over to him and put a finger in his face before practically screaming, "We've been following them for centuries."
"What my dear sister is trying to say is that we've been making sure that the damage from the Angels isn't as bad as it could be."
Jesse frowned, "I don't understand."
Havoc was obviously the calmer of the two. Harmony was pacing while Havoc leaned casually on the banister. He said, "There is a balance in the world and that must be kept. The switch that happened a year ago would not upset the balance, but if you do what you are intending, the balance would cease to exist."
Harmony stopped pacing and said, "And you want to know what happens then? Huh? Another Goddamn apocalypse."
He put a restraining hand on her shoulder. "Harm. Basically, yes though. They will kill most if not all humans."
Something that they said spiked my interest, "You said that there would be another apocalypse. What do you mean by that?"
"There have been many apocalypses in history. The Black Plague, smallpox, AIDS. They are all punishments of some kind against humanity. Humans would make deals like you or just upset the balance, and anyone alive would have to be exterminated." I visibly saw Havoc and Harmony shudder.
Paul looked miffed, "So what do you suggest we do? We're not going to give up until Suze is alive."
I was still standing behind Jesse, but I could feel my "little over an hour" start to fade. I pulled Jesse so he was facing me and we could basically have a private conversation, "I love you so much Jesse."
"I love you too, Querida." He kissed me full on the lips until he couldn't feel my anymore and took a step back. I started crying. He stayed where he was for a minute so they couldn't see him. But I could. He had so much pain in his eyes. I wanted to take it all away, but there was nothing I could do.
Paul put his hand on Jesse's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, de Silva."
He nodded and turned around to face the two strangers. He said with a tone that commanded authority, "We are going to do whatever it takes to bring her back. I don't care if it will start an apocalypse. I need her."
Harmony rolled her eyes and said, "She traded her life for yours. Why can't you just accept that and call it quits?"
His voice was hard, "Never."
Havoc got in the middle of the both of them when they were inching towards each other. "There's a way that we might be able to help each other."
I stepped close to Jesse. I couldn't actually touch him, but his presence was comforting. "Sorry, Suze. I can't help you this soon after doing it before…"
I ignored him though. I just don't think that I could handle him right now. "What can we help you with?"
"Well, we've been alive for more than a few centuries. We would like to be able to live for a lifetime, not eternity. We may have a way to help you, but you have to help us," Havoc said while still trying to hold Harmony and Jesse off each other. It's a good thing that I knew he loved me; otherwise I think he would have been hitting on her.
"What do have in mind?"
"There's a way to change both of our curses. You just have to trust us. I can't stress that enough. I'll do the same thing that Paul here did, except it will hold for five hours tops. That should be enough time. Is all this okay with you, Susannah Simon?"
"First of all, the name is Suze. Only Jesse can call me Susannah. Secondly, I agree to all of this. Just let him see me."
We shook hands and I felt a surge run through me. "Agreed."
A.N.: I'm really sorry that this chapter is so short and everything. I'm kind of having a writer's block. But can you guys review for me anyway?
