Chapter 19

"It's good to see you Jenna." She looked over at Gerard and Mikey. It felt like a family reunion. "Hello Gerard. Hello Mikey. It's been awhile." Both at them nodded, but Gerard spoke.

"It has been awhile. I'm glad your soul is not lost." She smiled. Jenna is still stunned by seeing Ino, but She's just a spirit.

"Ino, how is this possible?"

"All questions will be answered soon, but right now we must get Anya out of this stage." Jenna frowned, but she was right.

"Do you need my help?"

"I need you to help me sing the lullaby." Jenna nodded and looked at Alex. "Ready?" Alex nodded held the blue crystal over my chest. Ino and Jenna were on opposite's side of me, Ino raised both her hands and so did Jenna. She held Ino's hands. "Ready?" Jenna hesitated for a minute and then shook it off. "Ready." Ino sang the first section of then Jenna in the second.

"Sleep, my love, as the trees above protect you from the dark. A great river will watch you as you dream until dawn. Sleep my love, close your eyes and when you've awaken, the new day will bring to you and bright new world." It was Jenna's turn.

"Sleep my love as the birds above do rest their weary wings. Let the rain play a gentle song to help your dreams sing. Sleep my love, close your eyes and when you awaken. The new day will bring to you a bright new world." They blue crystal started to glow rapidly. Alex looked up at Ino and said, "It's working!" Ino and Jenna sand the third section together.

"Ever so gently hear my voice; ever so softly feel my touch. Always so gently I walk, so go to so go to see my love." The crystal levitated and moved toward the middle of my chest. Everyone saw the crystal slowly moving down through my chest. I couldn't feel it because I was in a deep sleep. The crystal was in my chest and I felt electric bolts of energy flowing inside of my body. The other half of my soul was back inside of me. My soul was whole again.

I started hearing voices around me. I could hear dad, uncle Mikey, Aunt Jenna, Ino, Claire, Boss, Steve, Alex, but I didn't hear Leon's voice. My eyes opened up slowly, my eyelids felt heavy to open. My eye sight was blurry and I saw blurry figures around me. The blurry went away and I saw a familiar face. I looked over to the left and saw dad, uncle Mikey and Aunt Jenna. "Hi guys. Glad to see you okay." All three of them smiled at me. Dad put his hand on my shoulder.

"We're glad you're okay too." Dad was holding back the tears. Uncle Mikey and Aunt Jenna were happy that I was okay. I looked over on my other side and saw Alex and Ino. So Ino was right.

"Hey Alex, glad to see you in one piece." He gave a shy smile to me.

"Welcome back Anya. I'm glad you're okay."

"Me too. Glad to be back." Alex put his hand over mine and squeezed it. He was glad that I wasn't dead or killed by Ryan. Alex released her and walked towards Claire who was at the broken window. The breeze was blowing in her loose ponytail. Her skin felt cold from the wind. She felt a pair of arms around her waist. It was Alex.

"How is she?" asked by Claire.

"She just woken up, but she's doing okay."

"That's good. So, what happens now?"

"We need to get as far away as possible so Ryan can't pick up her scent."

"Her scent?"

"Her blood. She was bleeding while the crystal pierced her chest." Claire walked away at the end of the ritual. She didn't know me as well, so she had no business being there. She sighed.

"I don't want you to leave." Alex sighed.

"I know, but I have too. I need to train Anya and how to control her powers. I'm the only one who can train her." Claire closed her eyes and a tear ran down her cheek. She didn't want Alex to leave, but he had too. "Come with us."

"What?"

"Come with us."

"I can't. I have to stay here. My dad is my only family left." Alex was silent, but still looking down at Claire's eyes. They were beautiful; they were colors of the blue sky with a hint of grey. He sighed.

"Ryan knows who I associated and that, I did with everyone."

"So if Ryan knows everyone here, that means-"

"He'll come after everyone in this room." Alex turned away from Claire and looked around at everyone including me. He turned back to Claire. "Everyone is in danger. He won't just come after me, but everyone else too." Claire looked down at her feet and avoided eye contact with Alex. He put on hand on Claire's shoulder. "We all need to get out of her and find a place where it is safe." Claire looked up at Alex.

"If we do leave, where are we suppose to go?"

"We have to find a safe house somewhere that Ryan's power can't detect any of us."

"How is that possible?"

"Ryan's power is cold. If we go somewhere warm, he can't get us, he'll be too weak to attack."

"So if we go somewhere when it's warm, we have the advantage."

"And everyone will be safe from Ryan's wrath." Alex wanted to get everyone out of harm's way including Ryan's wrath. Alex looked over Claire's shoulder and saw a black trench coat guy watching them and started running away. He blinked his eyes, Ryan's coming.

"What? What is it?" Claire looked over were Alex was looking, but saw nothing. She looked back at him. "Alex?"

"We need to leave, now."

"Master, they are still in the building. Shall we pursuit them?" Ryan stood there and watched his baby brother take the bait.

"Not just yet. Let's watch them squirm." He gave an evil smile and his eyes changed to yellow cat eyes. He is getting hungry and so are his little friends are waiting.
