"Risska, Risska. Are you ok?" Nick was waving his hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my trance.

"Yeah…It's just, well, I have a bad feeling," I said slipping my arm around his waist. We went over to our screen door to look at the sunrise. We both enjoyed the beauty of sunrises.

"Everything will be fine Risky. I think your threat was effective," He pulled me in and kissed me deeply. We pulled away and turned to look out the door. "Look at that beauty. I could die happy between you and seeing that sunrise."

"That could be arranged," we heard behind us. We turned to see a man decked out in battle armor. He leaped in a fury onto Nick. Punches were thrown and Nick shifted into his Malachi form. They were making a mess of the house. Nick punched off his helmet and I saw who it was. Jared, the only person that could kill Nick.

I shifted into my second form. It was a mixture of my parentage and it even had me terrified. My skin was a deep blue. Red sigils appeared on my skin, all of them reading names of my love ones, dead and alive. My nails grew along with the wings that sprouted from my back. Horns grew out of my raven black hair. I went to leap at Jared when another force knocked me away. I leaped up to see it was Zephyra, Stryker's queen.

"Zephyra," I growled in my demon voice. I ran over to the couch where the sword from last night laid. I grabbed it and leaped at Zephyra. She pulled out her own sword and deflected my direct blow.

"So where's your bastard husband Zephyra?" I asked jokingly dealing blow after blow. I winced in pain as her sword made a deep wound across my face. That was going to scar.

"Right over here," I heard from behind me. I ducked as Stryker went to leap at me to try to decapitate me. Zephyra moved silently out of his way so he didn't crash into her. He landed on both of his feet. I changed my long sword into a two sided blade staff.

They charged at me and I held them off but for every blow I made, two came my way. I sensed two more presences appeared into our house. This time it was god auras and I had a good idea who they were. I kicked off the ground and used my wings to keep off the ground. I had an aerial view and saw it was Apollo and Ares. I could keep Stryker and Zephyra off of me but all four? It was suicide but I dove into it.

I manifested a bow onto my back while I held them off. They got two more deep wounds to my face when Zephyra finally got into my defense. She knocked me into the wall. They were standing over me when I heard the most painful thing I had ever heard in my life: Nick's scream of pain.

I screamed and when I did, a pulse of energy knocked them away from me. I didn't think it was that bad, but they flashed out. For Stryker or Zephyra to run from a fight, they must have been really hurt. I leaped up and regretted doing it. The blood loss made me woozy.

I sifted back into my human form and went into the kitchen and grabbed a towel and press it to my head. I then remembered that Nick was hurt and stumbled up the stairs to where he and Jared had been fighting.

At the top of the steps, there was a path of blood that leads to our bedroom. I ran into the room and fell to my knees. I felt a pain that started in my chest and spreaded outward. I felt tears rise. I dragged myself to where Nick, my beautiful Nick laid, dead. His eyes were open, glazed over. I held his head in my lap and rocked back and forth.

"Nick! Damn you! YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME HERE! YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME!" my voice breaking along with my heart. One last pain went through my heart and I felt backness.

Alethea's POV

I stood in front of Nick's and Risska's bodies. He was laying dead on the ground. She was sitting Indian style. The wounds and her eyes glowed bright blue. She was comatose, in a state between this world and death. Almost like the astral plane. "Oh Risky. Why didn't you listen?" I whispered.

"How long will she be this way?"

I turned to see Savitar from my timeline. I turned back to Risska and sighed. "One, maybe two thousand years. She then she will wake up from the trance and have no mercy." I wiped away the tear I didn't know that had formed.

I looked up with realization. "Maybe I didn't go back far enough. Maybe I need to go back to when Nick and I were kids…"

"No Arisska. You know that that time wasn't meant to be meddled," he said.

I cringed at my name. I nodded over to Risky. "I can't stand myself. She was the reason Nick didn't survive. Maybe the fourteen- year- old me can protect him."

I vanished out, hearing Savitar calling me. This time it would be different. I thought killing myself and awaking my powers earlier would protect Nick, but all it did was kill him earlier than the original timeline. Like I said, it would be different. It'll be different…

A/N So we are at the end of this story my friends. We can though, have a story continuing this if you so wish it. Just let me know if a second one should happen because I know what direction I want it to go. Thanks.
