(A/N): Happy Easter!!
Alana remained frozen in shock as the group flew back to Angel Island. Emma sat next to her as Goldeye took her other side to prevent Renegade to sit next to her. Once they landed Alana walked as fast as she could off the plane as Emma followed her.
"Leave them." Goldeye said to Renegade who glared back at him. "They have to talk to each other. It does not involve you." Goldeye said following the group back to the rooms. Renegade looked over to the direction Alana and his cousin walked off before following the group.
"Alana…please wait." Emma said as she clumsily walked through the forest. Alana stopped walking as Emma stumbled towards her.
"I'm a horrible person." Alana said with her fists clenched and tears falling down her cheeks. Emma put her hand on Alana's shoulder, but Alana jerked her shoulder away as she covered her face with her hands. She collapsed on her knees as she sobbed into her hands. "I gave him the one thing that belonged to Renegade." Alana sobbed as she shook her head.
"Alana…it's going to be ok." Emma said kneeling next to her friend. Alana shook her head as her sobbing became harder.
"I love him, Emma. I'm in love with Rafael." Alana choked out as she sobbed into Emma's shoulder.
"Alana…there's something you need to know." Emma said as Alana looked at her friend. Tyler collapsed on his bed as Liecy took a shower. He started to close his eyes when he heard something.
"Dude…I arrive and you're asleep?" Tyler shot up from his bed to see a transparent black bat. He had gold eyes with bangs that hung over them. The inside of his wings were bright yellow as he were a black beanie that slightly hung off his head.
"You're my ancestor, right?" Tyler asked as the bat flew in the air.
"Smart dude. That's your stone. My name is Devin, by the way." The bat said as he laid on his back with his hands behind his head in midair.
"My stone means knowledge. Interesting." Tyler said as he levitated to Devin's level. "Dude, so what about you?" Tyler asked as Devin looked over to him.
"I help you out. You know, answer questions of whatever." Devin said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Nah, man. I mean what about you. Like a person." Tyler said as Devin raised his eyebrow. "What was your life like before?" Tyler asked as Devin sighed.
"I was much like you. Skater, but smart as hell. But I didn't go around showing off my knowledge. I kept it on the down-low like you." Devin said as Tyler nodded. "I died from leukemia because I didn't do the chemo." Devin said as Tyler looked at him confused.
"Why? You could have had a greater chance of living with the chemo." Tyler asked in confusion.
"I knew it was my time to go." Devin said floating down to the ground as Tyler followed. "That's one thing the stone does. It gives you the insight to your destiny." Devin said as Tyler looked at him.
"That's deep." Tyler said as Devin nodded. "I wanted to ask you something. Mason, he has a stone and he managed to suck personal traits from some of my friends. How?" Tyler asked as Devin sighed.
"All your stones have powers, but you're not able to tap into it manually. It comes to you. Mason was able to acquire the power because he had help." Devin said as Tyler stared at him.
"From who?" Tyler asked as Devin looked up at him.
"A fallen angel." Devin said before disappearing. Tyler collapsed on his bed as he thought about what he had heard.
'A fallen angel? How did Mason meet one?' Tyler thought as Liecy walked into the room.
"Are you ok?" Liecy asked concerned as she laid next to him.
"Yeah…I'm fine." Tyler said as he wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. He kissed her forehead as she smiled. "Just fine." He said as she slept on his chest. Rafael fazed into his new apartment in New York. He had to get a new one since Renegade knew his whereabouts. He sighed as he collapsed on his couch.
"When are you going to tell her?" A transparent figure said as he appeared above Rafael. He was an ocelot with brown and white fur and black stripes. He had green eyes that were currently staring at Rafael in annoyance.
"Lay off, Gabe. It's difficult. She barely knows about her stone." Rafael said rubbing his eyes.
"She has Anna. Anna should be telling her." The ocelot, Gabe, said as he floated down to the floor.
"Well…maybe Anna doesn't know anything. Maybe Alana isn't telling her. Why do I have to tell her? Can't we just be…together?" Rafael asked as Gabe rolled his eyes.
"Maybe because she has a boyfriend and you're making her go through some inner turmoil by making her cheat on him?" Gabe said as Rafael glared at him.
"It's not my fault she was dating him when I found her. Stop saying that too! I can't refuse her and you know it! It hurts me when she's hurt." Rafael said as he stood up from the couch.
"You steal, lie, and cheat yet, you feel sympathy for her." Gabe said as he tilted his head to the side.
"Hey, I'm Disorder. It comes with the stone." Rafael said pulling out a dark teal stone out of his shirt. On the stone was a small dot with a bunch of arrows sticking out of it.
"Yeah, yeah." Gabe said rolling his eyes. "By the way, why the hell did you take it off?!" Gabe yelled as Rafael rolled his eyes.
"She has her stone! If she saw me with mine, she would question it." Rafael said as Gabe sighed. Suddenly Gabe's eyes widened as he looked at Rafael.
"I have to go." Gabe said as Rafael looked at him confused. "I was Disorder. It came with the stone." Gabe said as Rafael rolled his eyes and waved him off. Chrissy was sitting on the edge of the island as she watched the stars in the sky.
"What are you doing here out so late?" Cream asked as she sat next to her daughter. "It's 3am." Cream said as Chrissy shrugged her shoulders.
"Just thinking. How did you know I was out here?" Chrissy asked as she looked at her mother.
"Mother's intuition." Cream said as Chrissy rolled her eyes. "Now, what's on your mind?" She asked as Chrissy sighed.
"Bolt." Chrissy said as Cream nodded.
"You've been thinking about him a lot lately." Cream said as Chrissy rolled her eyes.
"Reese?" Chrissy guessed.
"Of course." Cream said as Chrissy sighed.
"Do you think I'm making a mistake by marrying Stephan?" Chrissy asked as she looked at Cream.
"Honey, I'm not you and no one else is. At the end of the day, you are the main decision maker in your life. And no matter what I think you should do I can't make you do it." Cream said as Chrissy looked out to the dark sky.
"Mom, I know I make the decision, but what do you want me to do?" Chrissy asked as Cream held her hand.
"I would like you to do whatever makes you happy. If that's marrying Stephan, then so be it." Cream said as Chrissy smiled.
"Thanks Mom." Chrissy said as Cream kissed the side of her head.
"No problem, sweetie. Please get some rest." Cream said as she got up and walked away. Chrissy sighed as she got up and moved towards the beach. She held her cell phone in her hands as she stared at it.
"Chrissy…" Lauren said as Chrissy looked to see Lauren walking towards her. "Please tell me you're not going to call him." Lauren said as Chrissy rolled her eyes.
"I'm thinking about it." Chrissy said as Lauren plopped down on the sand next to her.
"Why? It's not like he's going to answer. He hasn't even answered for anyone. What makes you think he's going to answer now and in the middle of the night?" Lauren said as Chrissy shrugged her shoulders.
"I just want to leave a message." Chrissy said as Lauren grabbed her phone.
"I'm not letting you do this, Chrissy." Lauren said as she stood up. Chrissy stood up as she put her hands on her hips.
"Lauren, give me back my phone." Chrissy said sticking out her hand.
"No! Chrissy this is not the right thing to do. Two days before wedding!" Lauren exclaimed as Chrissy threw her hands in the air in frustration.
"Lauren. This has nothing to do with Stephan. This has to do with your stupid problem with Bolt! What the hell is your problem!? What do you have against him Lauren?! What is so wrong with him!?" Chrissy yelled in her friend's face.
"I don't have a problem with him!" Lauren screamed back in Chrissy's face.
"Well, you could have fooled me!" Chrissy yelled as she stomped away from Lauren. Lauren sighed as she rubbed her forehead.
"I just have to stop you." Lauren said as Chrissy stopped her walking and turned around.
"What?" Chrissy asked as Lauren sighed.
"I know all your thoughts Chrissy. Every whim, every memory, every regret." Lauren said as she walked over to Chrissy. "Chrissy…I know everything about you. That's half the reason why I'm your best friend. I can't let you live your life in regret. Bolt was not making his move and you made no incline towards him. Except on Graduation night, but that's a different story." Lauren said as Chrissy blushed. "You found Stephan and after a while you were truly happy. I couldn't let you ruin that. So, I had to make Bolt look bad and be harsh on you because I didn't want you to be in that state of 'being ok'." Lauren said as Chrissy looked at her friend.
"Lauren…I-"Lauren interrupted Chrissy by handing her cell phone.
"But maybe I should just let you do what you want to do for once." Lauren said as she smiled softly at Chrissy. Lauren hugged her friend as Chrissy hugged her back. Lauren patted her arm and walked off the beach. Chrissy sat back down on the sand as she unlocked her phone. She pressed her number two speed-dial and put the phone to her ear.
"Hey, it's Bolt. Sorry I couldn't answer your call, but leave your name and number and I'll try to get back to you." Chrissy heard the familiar voicemail as she took a deep breath.
"Hey Bolt…it's Chrissy. I don't know if you know, but my wedding is in two days. Well…you probably know. Winter has been blowing up your phone with voicemails. Well…I really hope you can come. It's in town. I really don't know where you are, but I hope your close by. So…bye." Bolt sighed as he replayed the message one more time.
"That's the tenth time! Stop listening to it." Erica yelled as Bolt glared at her. "You're going to the wedding, right?" Erica said as she lifted up her eyebrow.
"No." Bolt said chucking his phone on his bed.
"What?!" Erica exclaimed as she floated in front of Bolt. "You have to go and win her over!" Erica yelled as Bolt rolled his eyes.
"Erica, this isn't some clichéd love movie. This is real life. She's getting married and there's nothing I can do about it." Bolt said as he paced his room slowly.
"Bolt! She loves you. It's perfectly clear that she does." Erica said as she followed Bolt.
"Well she obviously loves Shitty Stephan more! She's marrying him!" Bolt exclaimed as Erica sighed.
"Maybe she doesn't know what she wants." Erica said as Bolt sighed and collapsed on his bed.
"I'm not going to that wedding. I can't see her getting married." Bolt said as Erica sighed and faded away. Lauren was walking back to her room when she spotted something on the ground. It was a purple stone with a heart-like symbol with crown points and axe-like ends.
"A stone? Hmm…" Lauren said as she put it around her neck. She sat down on a root as she waited for her ancestor. "I'm not leaving until you come." She murmured as she crossed her arms. A transparent snowy white coyote appeared in front of her with his arms crossed. He had bright hazel eyes and gray specks around his fur.
"Impatient are we?" He said as Lauren rolled her eyes.
"Obviously patience isn't the stone." Lauren said as she stood up.
"Nope. It's Pride and I'm Nick." The coyote said bowing in front of her.
"Pride? I would think AJ or Bolt be that." Lauren said as Nick shook his head.
"They're cocky not prideful." Nick said as Lauren raised an eyebrow.
"What makes me prideful?" Lauren asked.
"You're confident in everything you do and who you are. You're proud to be you, but you can admit defeat when you face it. You're humble and modest." Nick said as Lauren laughed a bit.
"Can you tell my dad that?" Lauren asked as Nick laughed.
"Yeah, I'm sure he won't mind if a ghost pops up in his room saying his daughter is humble and modest." Nick said as Lauren rolled her eyes.
"So…what does the stone do?" Lauren asked holding the purple stone.
"You'll find out in due time. For now just enjoy the weird nightmares of my life." Nick said as Lauren stared at him wide-eyed. "They aren't scary, just a little confusing." Nick said as he floated onto a tree branch.
"Yeah…that isn't traumatizing." Lauren said sarcastically as Nick shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm not going to lie to you and say its all butterflies and rainbows." Nick said as Lauren rolled her eyes.
"You're like what? Twenty?" Lauren asked as Nick scoffed.
"Try twenty-five." He said as Lauren tilted her head to the side in question. "I got hit by a car. I pushed a kid out of the way and BAM! Dead." Nick said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I've read Alana's mind and her ancestor says the stones have something to do with angels." Lauren said as Nick floated down to her level.
"And it does." Nick said as he looked at Lauren. "You just have to wait and see." Nick said as she rolled her eyes.
"It's a big waiting game isn't it?" Lauren asked as Nick nodded his head.
"Now, I have to go." Nick said as Lauren looked at him confused.
"But you just got here." Lauren said as Nick shrugged his shoulders.
"Meeting of the Ancestors. Don't worry. I'll be back." Nick said as Lauren sighed.
"See you terminator." Lauren said as Nick faded away. Cheka, Rosa, Arianna, Isaac, Anna, Erica, Devin, Gabe, and Nick all appeared in a darken area standing around in a circle. They weren't transparent and smiled at each other.
"The gang back together again!" Isaac said as he put his arms around Gabe and Nick. They both pushed him away with a laugh. Suddenly a presence entered the center of the circle.
"We have to talk about Peace and Disorder." A voice said as they all looked towards the center of the circle. A dark brown hedgehog with little gray hairs appeared. He had gray eyes with purple specks and looked older than the others. Anna and Gabe stepped forward as chairs appeared and everybody sat down.
"Hey Jeremy…" Anna said nervously as Jeremy smiled warmly at her.
"You don't have to be afraid. I just want you to know that a friend has told Alana." Jeremy said as everybody gasped.
"She told her?! Is that even allowed?" Erica exclaimed as she leaned forward in her chair.
"Of course it is!" Cheka said as Erica rolled her eyes.
"So…what do we do then?" Gabe asked as Jeremy looked at his students.
"You all know I'm not allowed to the mortal world. I haven't been able since I died. You all are the messengers of the stone and have to teach your stone-holder. Each comes with their unique characteristic and when the signs of said characteristics show up you'll have to tell them. Gabe, Rafael knows about the…arrangement, but Anna you have to clear this up with Alana. There's no doubt that Alana will come to you with questions." Jeremy said as Anna and Gabe nodded. A maniacal laugh was heard was everybody turned around.
"Oh Jeremy, you and your 'teachings'." A red fox said walking into the darken space. She had a curvy body long wavy hair and a sinister smile. She was definitely one of those "Queen Bee" types with green eyes. Everybody, but Jeremy, got up and growled.
"What the hell are you doing here, Angelica?" Devin growled as the group stood in front of Jeremy.
"Just stopping by Devy." The fox, Angelica, said as she strutted towards him.
"Get your skank-ass out of here." Rosa sneered as Angelica pouted.
"Aw, is that the way to treat an old friend?" Angelica asked as Erica pushed her back.
"You were never a friend." Erica said glaring at the fox.
"You forget I'm one of you." Angelica sneered as Nick glared at her.
"You lost that privilege when you decided to follow the teachings of Drake." Nick said as Angelica laughed.
"I'm Death. Do you honestly expect us to be a good thing?" Angelica said as Gabe glared at her.
"And you think Disorder is?" Gabe asked as Angelica scoffed.
"Oh boo-hoo! Cry me a river, Gabriel. Make-out with Peace why don't ya?" Angelica said as Anna glared at her.
"You leave him alone!" Anna yelled as Angelica laughed.
"Aw, that sweet little Anna has a voice." Angelica taunted as Gabe wrapped her arm around Anna and glared at Angelica.
"That's it bitch!" Erica yelled.
"Enough!" Jeremy exclaimed as he stood up. The nine spilt to let him through. "Angelica you caught enough trouble. Please leave." Jeremy said as Angelica glared up at him.
"You're nothing, but a pathetic 'teacher'. You know nothing and you will fall along with the angels." She said as she stomped away.
"Jeremy…we have to warn them." Arianna said as Jeremy sighed and shook his head.
"It's not the time. The Guardian is not ready." Jeremy said as they all looked at him.
"How do you know?" Cheka asked as Jeremy started to walk away. He stopped and turned his head to look at them.
"She's my daughter." He said as he faded away. They all gasped before fading away also.
