Sorry this took so long. I'm trying to make it as good as possible. Sorry, if it's not to your liking, but please comment. I love opinions because they help me improve and I can make the story better for the reader. Cami and Davina will be back on Earth soon and in their bodies.
Chapter 2
Chris paced the floor, "No, No, NO! Oh my-you were supposed to- this wasn't- You said you would retrieve the girl! She was supposed to come back! This wasn't supposed to happen!"
"Yes, well we didn't anticipate a Mikaelson intruding on our rescue mission." Spit out Sean who was leaning against an enormous white-marble-pedestal. His arms crossed over his chest, his eyebrows knitted downwards and lips closed tightly together forming a thin line.
"Yes, I know Sean! However, dark magic is not my forte! What you are asking is dangerous! I am only a guard! You need someone more experienced if you want to get this girl and your sister back safely."
"Well, we don't have the luxury of knowing anyone who would be willing to help! This isn't exactly permitted among the Heaven's." countered Sean, his voice rumbling with anger and frustration. He had moved from his position and now stood above Christopher, glaring at him.
"Enough! The both of you. Sean stand down." Instructed Kieran stepping between the two, "We don't have time to argue, we need to figure out a way to save both Davina and Camille."
Sean took a deep breath, closed his eyes and exhaled, "I'm sorry. I'm worried."
"I know Sean. Now, I have an idea." Spoke Kieran, "Christopher can you call Michael?"
"The archangel?" asked Chris taken aback, then furiously yelled "Have you lost your mind?"
"I have to agree with Chris, Uncle! Michael would punish us for this."
"Not if we open with Camille is in trouble. "Explained Kieran
"Adultery! Adultery is your solution! He is an arch angel! Are you asking to spend a life in enteral damnation? " exaggerated Chris, throwing his arms around in the air. His eyes bulging out of his skull. Chris could not fathom the desperation Kieran was experiencing to call upon an archangel for help.
"He barely knows Camille." Spoke Chris confounded , "What makes you so certain he would help if we mentioned Cami?
" I have heard rumors that Michael is in love with Camille." clarified Kieran, "And I have reason to believe they might be true."
Chris burst out into a fit of laughter, "What do you mean he is in love? An arch angel cannot fall in love."
Kieran folded his arms across his chest, glaring at Chris who was now trying to catch his breath. Sternly he spoke, " I have heard, ever since Michael took over the role of Camille's soul guardian, after Camille's transitioned into a vampire, he bathes and mediates twice as much as he used to."
"Hold the phone, Michael is Camille's soul guardian?" asked Sean coming to stand in front of Kieran who was resting on the couch, "I thought you were-"
Kieran interrupted, shame apparent in his voice, "I wasn't strong enough, Sean. A vampire's soul is tainted by nature. I asked Michael for help and he promised to keep her soul pure so that, one day, she could descend into Heaven."
"Alright, so what if he mediates and bathes twice as much." scoffed Chris, then more aggressively said , "That means nothing Kieran!"
"It's worth a try. What other choice do we have? The witches aren't going to go down without a fight and we will need an enormous amount of power."
" Okay, say Michael helps, we still have the problem of retrieving the girl's soul."
"We can use Kagami."
Sean and Chris looked at Kieran as if the old man had lost his mind.
"Excuse me?" choked out Sean whose mind was racing trying to grasp his uncle's reason for such a drastic move. Surely, there was another way, "What-No- there has to be another way!"
"We are dealing with powerful dark magic. The only way to get a soul and place it back together is by using that mirror.."
"Yes, but no ordinary begin can use that mirror! Only a priestess-" he stopped mid-sentence because of the look on Kieran's face.
It was look of guilt, "Cami doesn't know. I never wanted to place that responsibility on her shoulders."
Chris was growing more irritated by the second, "Let me get this straight, you want to use a woman, who doesn't know she's a priestess, to retrieve a soul that has been shattered?"
"Yes, but all Cami would have to do is channel as much power as possible and speak the ancient incantation."
Sean placed his head in his hands, "Uncle, if-if Camille uses that mirror and she is not strong enough then her soul would be consumed by darkness. She could become a beast, condemned to the shadow realm. "
"There isn't any other way Sean"
"I know, but you have to trust and believe in me. Trust and believe in Camille."
"Chris, call Michael now." said Sean looking at Chris directly in the eyes
"Of course." said Christopher then quickly floated away
Davina woke up to a body embracing her own. At first, she thought it was Kol's; that the day's events had all been the result of a nightmare. Then her eyes focused on her surrounding and she realized that she was still in the ancestral plane. She turned in the warm embrace to find Cami's snoozing alongside her. Cami's arms resting protectively over her abdomen with her bow and arrow close by. Davina slowly lifted Cami's arms off of her and sat up. She found herself on a small tattered bed, covered with a raggedy blanket. She wondered when she had fallen asleep. She remembered fragments of the events that had transpired earlier; how she hadn't been able to stop crying and tired herself out.
Davina let out an exhausted breath. She wanted to go home. She wanted to see Kol, Marcel, Josh. She was beyond angry at Elijah and Freya for taking her magic away. When she got back she was going to make them pay. If she got back. At least, she had Cami who had promised to find a way to get home. She looked over at the sleeping woman. Would Cami be coming home too? Was she able to come home?
Suddenly, Davina heard a noise. She froze, then proceeded to shake Camille awake, "Cami, wake up." she whispered.
Cami groaned and opened her eyes, "hmmm."
"I heard a nose." said the young brunette, quivering.
Cami sat up abruptly, got out of bed and signaled Davina to do the same, but quietly. Davina did so and moved over to where Cami stood holding her bow and arrow in attack position. Davina stood behind Cami, holding tightly onto her dress. They heard footsteps walking up the stairs and come closer. Cami pulled back the arrow, ready to shoot.
The door slowly opened.
I hope that was enjoyable. I hope I made someone smile. It might have been a bit boring, sorry. Hopefully, next chapter will be more interesting because Cami and Davina are going to wake up in their bodies.
All the Love, Dartris Stone.
