In the clinic the four teenagers were waiting nervously for results. Poor Frida had spent the whole night crying and bawling and praying.

"It'll be alright Frida." Connie said comforting her.

"They say they can't help him!" She wept. "That means he'll die!"

"We can't think like that." Steven said.

"Frida?"

"Father Gardner."

Frida ran into her foster father's arms, he hugged her comfortingly.

"It's alright. I'm here. Now one of you doctors let me see him."

"You sure you know what you're doing?" One doctor asked skeptically.

"I've preformed surgery on three demons, delivered a half devil child, and performed a c-section on a pregnant vampire. I know what I'm doing." He said entering the room. Hours passed and anyone who wasn't helping him was waiting nervously. Finally he called Frida in. She found her friend strapped down to a cross with burn marks all over him.

"What's wrong with him?" She asked.

"He's still alive." Gardner assured her.

"Why is he strapped to a cross?"

"Because it's the only thing keeping his soul from demons."

"What?"

"Manny is in a comma, a half devil in a comma is a demon's playground he could easily get possessed by one. Now Frida I need to know something, before Manny got here did you touch him?"

"When I carried him into the auto mobile."

"Did you touch him affectionately in anyway?"

"I..." She blushed as she remembered kissing him. "I...I kissed him."

"You kissed him?"

"Yes I don't know why but a voice told me to."

"What voice?"

"Well to be honest it kind of sounding like mine. Why do you ask?"

"Because his physical injuries are gone and that could only happen if a holy man or woman performed a healing incantation or touched him affectionately."

"So if he's healed why is he in a coma?"

"His physical injuries may be gone but his mental and emotional injuries are still there. A devil's life and body is tied to his emotions, extreme anger, sadness, guilt, could all cause his death or the death of another. My theory is this coma was caused by his guilt over Analia's death."

At the mention of her name, Frida remembered the shocking discovery Zoe revealed last night.

"What's wrong?"

"Father Gardner, Zoe said something last night. Something kind of scared me."

"What? What did she say?"

"She said that I was the reincarnation of Analia Montoya. That she had some weird stone and because of that when she died she turned into me or whatever is that true?"

She expected him to laugh it off as if it was the most ridiculous thing in the world but he didn't. He just stood there in silence, after five minutes he spoke.

"I knew this day would come."

"Oh my God! It is?!"

"Yes."

"Oh God! Oh God this is so weird! So does that mean I'm her? That we're the same person?"

"Well yes and no. You share the same soul, the same thoughts, and same feelings, but your lives, bodies, and personalities couldn't be more different."

"But I don't remember ever being her."

"Reincarnations never remember their past lives yet they can communicate with the ghost of their past selves. The ghost you always spoke to as a child, that was Analia's ghost. That birthmark you have on your wrist, it came from a scar that was carved into her wrist."

"How long have you known this?"

"When I saw how much you resembled her as a child, your birthmark, and when I found the stone of new life at her grave."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"For your own protection. Being Analia's reincarnation meant you had her powers and her soul so hundreds of demons, monsters, and God knows what else would try to devour your soul. So I had to keep it a secret, no one knew except me. Then they found you."

"Found me?"

"People who wanted your soul, they found you that's why I sent you away and I had Manny protect you, if he could fall in love with a holy woman surely he would protect her reincarnation."

"Did he know?"

"He knew you were a holy woman but he didn't know you were her reincarnation."

"What's gonna happen to him?"

"I don't. He won't wake from his coma until his guilt is eased. He needs to stop blaming himself for her death."

"When will that be?"

"Who knows?"

"There must be something we can do. Is there anything we can try?"

"There is one thing but it's one hell of a risk."

"What?"

"Someone can go into his subconscious and try to talk some sense into him but if they're not careful that person could end becoming brain dead."

"We have to try."

"Frida who on earth would be crazy enough to-.

"I would!"

"Frida you would be taking a huge risk."

"I don't care!"

"Frida you could go brain dead in just one second!"

"He saved me, he's protected me, I can't just do nothing! It's time that I return the favor. Please, you have to let me try."

He sighed, he loved Frida like she was his own daughter and he couldn't bear it if she were to die but he could tell by the look in her eyes that she would never be able to live with herself if she didn't at least try to save Manny. So he made some calls and got the machine for it. It would transfer her spirit into Manny's mind and hopefully it would bring her back in one piece. They placed on helmet on her head and the other on Manny's.

"Okay when I pull this switch." Gardner said. "You'll be in his mind, you'll have to go through his memories to reach him. Once you get to the memories that are holding him to his guilt, find him and try to wake him up."

"Okay wait will me being there effect anything?"

"No these are memories, they cannot be changed by anything, good luck Frida and please be careful."

"I will."

He pulled the switch and everything went black. When she woke up she was outside and it was daytime.

"Did it work?" She wondered.

She got her answer when she saw several people dressed in clothes from the 1800's and riding around in carriages.

"Okay so I'm in his memories but which memory?"

"Grandpapi for the love of God can you help me with this?" She turned to see Manny dressed like in an 1800's style suit.

"Manny! Manny!" She called but he didn't respond. That's when she became aware that no one could see or hear her. "Oh great how can I talk some sense into him if he can't even see or hear me?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." An old man said.

"That's his devil grandpa? I thought he'd be more demonic looking." She said.

She watched as they moved a bed into the mansion and upstairs into a bedroom. She recognized it as her room and her bed.

"Manny are you sure marrying this woman is a good idea?" His grandfather asked. "I mean you're only eighteen."

"I don't care. All I know is I love this woman and marrying her will make me the happiest man on earth."

"Okay but remember we Rivera men have always had bad luck with women."

"Oh Grandpapi you worry too much. Everything will be alright."

She was surprised by how different Manny was back then. He was so laid back, so carefree, so happy. It made her sad to think of what this happy young man would become in the future. The atmosphere around her then changed to the mansion at night. There was polite knock at the door and she watched his grandfather answer it. A person wearing a cloak walked in.

"Hello Mr. Rivera." The figure said a voice which sounded a lot like hers. "Sorry for being late but the doctor needed me to heal a child with measels."

She then watched as the person removed her hood to reveal a beautiful, brown haired, young woman who looked identical to her.

"Oh my God. She's me." Frida gasped. "She's me."

"I can see why my grandson is so desperate to marry you." The old man said. "You're quite the beauty."

"Thank you but my looks are just my face." She said. "Where's Manny?"

"He's fixing up your room."

"Are you sure you don't mind me living here?"

"Why not? You're marrying my grandson so you'll be living here anyway."

"Analia!" Manny cried cheerfully hugging her.

"Sorry I'm late."

"It doesn't matter you're here, come on I wanna show you your room."

She followed them upstairs into her bedroom.

"Oh Manny it's beautiful." Analia said.

"There's something in the trunk for you."

She went over to the trunk and opened it. Manny looked away.

"What are you doing?"

"I kind of can't see it yet."

"Why?"

"You'll see."

She lifted up the drape, she gasped in awe at what Frida recognized as what would've been her wedding gown.

"Manny this is magnificent."

"It was my mother's, she wanted to be able to pass the dress down but since I never had any sisters she asked me to give it to the woman I was going to marry. You don't have to wear it if you don't want to-"

"No. I want to."

"Really?"

"Yes, it's the most beautiful gown I've ever seen and I don't have any dress from my own mother so I would love to wear something that belonged to yours."

She put the gown back into the trunk, covered it with a drape, and closed the trunk.

"How long til we're married?"

"When I can find away to pay for the money my grandfather gambled."

"I don't need money. I love you not your wealth."

"Thanks but I can't marry a woman without the money to provide for her. So tomorrow I'm going into town to get a job."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"No just leave everything to me."

Once again the atmosphere changed to morning in the town. Manny was looking for work but nothing seemed to have an opening.

"Hey kid." A man called to Manny. "Listen you need money?"

"Yeah."

"Well what if I were to tell you that I'd give you a fortune?"

"That depends, what do I have to do to get this money?"

"Follow me."

They followed him into the room of a secluded building.

"Ever heard of Muslim Turks?" He asked Manny.

"Yeah they live in the Middle East, worship Allah, and ransacked Constantinople."

"Well they've been secretly sneaking into this country with the purpose of destroying all the churches and taking over it just as they did in Constantinople. We need soldiers ones loyal to God and America, now I've been told you grew up in a Catholic house hold, you're an excellent fighter, and that you need money. I am prepared to give you a small fortune if you were to join this war."

"I don't know. I mean it's not that I don't care but I have a fiance and suppose I were to die, then I can't provide for her."

"Live or die the money is yours and you may give it to anyone. If you were to die we'd give the money to your fiance and any other living relative you may have."

"Still I...I don't know."

"Think about it."

"Okay."

After that she found herself in Manny's room watching him pack his bags. Analia ran to him and hugged him with tears in her eyes.

"You can't go!" She wept.

"Analia I must."

"For what? Money? I told you I don't care!"

"Analia it's more than just money. I did some research on what they did in Constantinople and I don't want them to do that here, I don't want them to do those horrible things to you or anyone else."

"But Manny-"

"Analia, they murdered hundreds of innocent men, women, and children. I can't let them do that here, you know that this is the right thing, it hurts but you know it's right."

"You're right." She sighed. "I'm just afraid for you."

"I'm scared too but I promise everything will work out in the end. I just hope Grandpapi will be able to keep the house clean while I'm gone."

"Well you don't need to worry about that he hired Zoe to be the new maid."

"What?" He said looking shocked.

"That's not a problem is it? I mean I know what happened between you two was-"

"No it's fine. I've made my peace with her, excuse me I need to get my father's gun."

Frida followed him into another room where a gun case was. She watched him stick the key in the lock, opened it, and pulled out a musket gun. Then fear gripped her heart when Zoe walked in dressed like a servant.

"Hello Manny." She said.

"Zoe what is it? You want to clean the gun case?" He asked.

"Don't give me that!"

"Give you what?"

"Acting like what happened between us at that pub never happened."

"Oh god not this again. Zoe I told you what happened that night was a mistake."

"Liar! You loved me that night!"

"No I did not. I was drunk."

"It was no mistake. That night you touched me, you were inside me, and you made me feel loved. Next morning you're gone and I find out a month later that you're marrying another woman."

"Zoe I am so sorry for what had happened. I didn't know that you felt that way but I don't love you. I love Analia."

"Another lie! How can you love her? She'll never give you what you really want. She'll give herself to you, she's too afraid."

"Enough! Now again I am sorry for what happened I really am but not so much that I'll pretend to have feelings for you. Now understand this when I return from war Analia and I will be married and that's the end of it. Now if you'll excuse me."

He left the room, while Zoe glared at him. Frida knew all too well that was not then end of it. She was in a different memory now, this time Manny was in what appeared to be a war camp, dressed in the uniform of a soldier. There were different men standing around him wearing the same uniforms.

"Right face!" A man who looked like a Sargent shouted. All the men straightened up, looked at the Sargent respectfully, and saluted him. He walked around and looked at them. "At ease men!"

The soldiers dropped their salutes, the Sargent walked over to Manny.

"Rivera!" He shouted. "What's your soul purpose in this army?!"

"To do whatever you tell me Drill Sargent sir." Manny replied.

"Damn it soldier!" He said surprised. "That was the most outstanding answer I have ever heard! Have you ever been in the army before Rivera?!"

"No Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Have you ever been in a war?!"

"No Drill Sargent Sir!"

"But you wanna fight in this war?!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Have you ever used a gun?!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Rivera do you serve God and Christ?!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Do you understand that you may be shot! Decapitated! Poisoned! And Tortured!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Are you afraid Rivera?!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"But you're gonna fight anyway?!"

"Yes Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Then why fight in this war?!"

"To protect my country, protect my my church, and protect and provide for the woman I love Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Damn it and God bless ya Rivera! You are gonna be one of the bravest soldiers this army ever knew!"

"Thank you Drill Sargent Sir!"

"Wow Manny fit into the army pretty well." Frida said.

Before she knew it she was in Manny's memory of fighting in a battle betwwen the Turks. Gun shots were going off, arrows were being shot, horses carry Turkish leaders were riding by and they began decapitating the American soldiers.

"Oh God I can't watch this!" Frida said covering her eyes.

"Die! Die and burn in hell you demons!" She heard Manny shout. She looked to see him shooting the Turks riding horses and decapitating people.

She then covered her eyes again and refused to look until she was in a different memory. She she found herself watching Manny enter the mansion full of pride and relief to be home.

"Analia! Grandpapi! I'm home!" He called.

"Oh my grandson welcome home." Jorge said running to hug him. "You're sight for sore eyes."

"Glad to see you too Grandpapi. Where's Analia?"

"Well she's probably in the woods by now."

"The woods? Why?"

"Because you asked her to go there."

"What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you give her this letter asking you to meet her in the woods?"

He handed her the letter, he read it.

"This is my hand writing but I didn't write this."

"Then who did?"

"The only person I can think of who's that good at forgery is...Grandpapi where's Zoe?"

"Zoe? I fired her last month."

"Why?"

"Well I did a little digging and wouldn't you know it, she was a daughter of a voodoo priestess. She's a witch, of course I didn't have any proof so a trial was out of the question. The worst i could do was fire her."

"She's a witch?!"

"Yep!"

"Oh God! I have to go!"

"Manny what's wrong?"

"I have to go!"

He was out the door running straight toward the woods. Frida knew what this memory was. This was the memory of the day she died. On cue she saw Analia standing in the woods waiting for Manny, suddenly she saw Analia clutching her head, screaming in fear.

"No! No! Stop! Leave me alone!" She cried running.

"Analia!" She heard Manny shout as he ran after her.

"No! Get back!"

"Analia what's wrong?"

"No! Stay away from me!" She screamed running away from him. "Monster!"

"Monster? Analia wait! Stop!" He was chasing after her but she only got farther away from him.

Frida heard the familiar noise of the knife being sharpened and saw the purple eyes in the darkness. There was the sound of a knife being stabbed. Analia screamed and put her hand over her chest, warm blood fell from her chest and she collapsed to the ground.

"Analia!" Manny shouted. He rushed to her side and lifted her into his arms. Her skin was pale and she was bleeding, her chest had a punctured wound but he didn't see any weapon. "Analia hold on! I'll get help!"

"Manny...I." She said weakly. "I...I feel so weak...I can't...Breathe...I think...I'm-"

"Don't say that! Don't you dare finish that sentence! You are not going to die! I promise!"

"Manny...I...I...I will always love..." But she couldn't finish, her body and face lost all color, she went limp, and her eyes closed as she breathed her last breath. She was dead, Analia Montoya the holy woman was dead.

"Analia? Analia?" She didn't respond, Manny put his ear to her chest. No pulse, no breath, nothing. Zoe's cruel laughter filled the air and tears streamed down his face. Frida had never seen him cry before.

"No...No...NO! ANALIA!"

He cried out in a voice that didn't sound human, it sounded like a monster, a demon. Suddenly he felt a terrible pain in his head. He clutched his head and fell to the ground crying out in agony. Green fire surrounded him and his shirt began to tear off as he changed into a devil and released a green flames that destroyed everything and everyone it touched. Frida could only watch in horror as the heartbroken half devil unintentionally caused so much destruction. When the fire finally ceased he stood there clutching the dead body of the woman he loved while sobbing.

"Manny?" Jorge said slowly approaching him. "Manny what have you done?"

"She's dead! She's dead! She's dead and I killed her!"

"Get a grip my boy! We need to get out of here before the exorcists get here!"

She watched his grandfather forcibly drag him away from her body and back to the mansion where she watched another memory.

"What happened to me?" Manny asked. "Did I cause that fire?"

"Yes." Jorge said.

"How? Why?"

"Manny there's a secret about our family we never told you."

"We?"

"Your parents. They made me swear not to tell you but I think it's best you know."

"Know what?"

"You know what a devil is right?"

"They're the souls of evil humans after they die."

"That's not entirely true."

"What do you mean?"

"In the beginning that's what devils were until humans were foolishly tricked into becoming devils. Soon a new type of devil was created, ones who were born and not made. I'm one of them and so was your father."

"My father?"

"When he was young he fell in love with a human woman, your mother and that led to him getting her pregnant with a half human devil child. You."

"Wha...What?"

"You're the son of a devil man and human woman, you're half devil. Your parents had hoped that your devil side would remain dormant but it seems the tragedy of losing Analia has triggered it."

The last memory she entered showed him inside of crypt and sobbing over a tomb that contained Analia's dead body. Over the tomb was a plack that read: ANALIA MONTOYA, HOLY WOMAN. A KIND AND LOVING SOUL WHO SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

"It was all my fault." He sobbed, "All my fault. Oh God! She died because of me!"

"No she didn't Manny!" She cried.

"Analia?" He said.

"You heard me?"

"Analia?!"

"No! It's me Frida!"

"Frida?" He turned around and saw her. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to get you out of here. Come on give me your hand."

"I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?"

"I can't go back."

"Why?"

"Because I almost got you killed."

"I'm alright Manny."

"But what if it happens again?"

"It won't!"

"Frida I will not let you die like she did!"

"Manny you need to stop blaming yourself for her death! I know what happened hurt you but you need to move on! Think about it do you honestly think she would've wanted you to do this? To spend your whole life living in guilt?"

"I...No."

"She would want you to live for her, to find happiness again."

"But what if...What if you die because of me?"

"Manny I'm gonna die one day but I doubt you'll cause it."

"I will not risk your life!"

"Manny I'm not leaving here unless you're with me. So you can stay here for the rest of your life but if that's the case then I'm staying too."

"You can't be serious."

"Try me. You know I'm pretty much crazy enough to do anything."

"Why do you stay with me? Don't you know I'm half devil? I'm not worth spit!"

"If that was the case I would've left you a month ago! I can't leave you!"

"Get out!"

"Manny you have friends out there who are worried for you! I have to bring you back!

"You're out of your mind! Go away! Leave me alone!"

"Please don't do this! I need you...I love you." She held out her hand. "Please come back to us...Please come back to me."

He looked hesitate but then he put his hand in hers and pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you." He said.

She smiled, then there was a flashing light and green fire was everywhere.

"What's happening?" Frida asked.

"I don't know."

The flames kept getting closer and closer until it engulfed the two of them.

...

"It's been eight hours. I'm getting worried." Father Gardner.

"Should we bring her out?" A doctor said.

"I don't know, they're both still alive so I guess not now."

Suddenly the machine started beeping.

"What's happening?" A doctor asked.

"I think they're waking up." Father Gardner said. "Get them out of there."

They're bodies were shaking and the beeping was getting louder. They turned off the machine and removed the helmets. Frida sat up first taking a deep breath and coughing like she had just nearly drowned.

"Where am I?!" She screamed.

"You're back in the organization Frida." Gardner said. "We got you out. You're back."

"Fire! There was fire everywhere!"

"It's okay, it's over."

"Manny? Where's Manny?"

"I think he's waking up."

She got out of her chair and ran over to the boy struggling to break free from his straps. His eyes flashed open and he broke free while panting heavily.

"Where the hell am I?" Manny asked.

"You're in the Helsing clinic. You're fine." Gardner said.

"Frida? You alright?" Manny asked her.

"You came back." She said hugging her. "I'm so glad."

"And you're alive. I'm glad too."

They held each other but exhausted and relieved that they were both okay. They weren't hurt, they were alive, and they were together. It was over, it was all over...At least for now.
