Chapter eight
Ammy's POV
"Ammy, are you sure you're okay? You're shaking" Alec points out as he wraps a blanket around me, trying to warm me up as best as he can. I can't quite explain it, but I feel absolutely freezing, despite the fact that I know it's warm in his apartment. He always warms up the apartment ready for me, he hates me being cold. He always wants to care for me, but no matter how hard he tries today, I just can't seem to get warm.
"I feel sick" I mumble as I close my eyes while taking deep breaths in an attempt to get rid of the nausea. What the heck is happening to me?
"Maybe I should call your dad or maybe an ambulance" he trails off as he grabs his phone off the side table. All I do for answer is lie down on the couch, the blanket tightly wrapped around me. I feel…strange. The last time I felt like this was when Isaac took me into that field of flowers. I had an allergic reaction to something in there, but there are no flowers in his apartment. I start to feel a throbbing in my head, just as I feel the atmosphere in the room change. Alec picks up on it instantly as he puts the phone down and goes into defence mode.
"Back down, Were" Felicity's smooth voice plays across the room as she appears in front of me.
"She doesn't need to go to hospital, she's just feeling drained because she hasn't been to our world in over three weeks. Her body is too used to our land that it now craves it" she informs us, all I do is crack an eyelid at her in a slight glare.
"You do realise that I only go to that stupid place once or twice a month. So I highly doubt that's it" I grumble as the feeling of nausea finally passes.
"Yes, but as you get older, you need to spend more time there. You have only just recently turned sixteen, at this age most of your more powerful powers will start to develop. This means that you are going to be dangerous to be around temporarily. You'll have to come back with me for a few weeks, then you can come back and see how you feel" before I could even protest there's a bright light around us, then poof.
I'm no longer in Alec's living room, but I'm in Angel land, or whatever it is they call this place. But being in this place only makes me feel worse as I hunch over and throw up on the grass.
"That'll pass" Felicity dismisses me as she starts to walk off, not before throwing me a look that clearly says follow me. All I do for answer to her clear command is lie down in the grass, my body curling up into a ball.
"Felicity, I feel worse. Get me back home, right now" I demand as I just about manage to trun my head to look at her. She takes one quick look into my eyes before rolling her own and walking back over to me.
"You are being ridiculous. The only reason you feel bad is because you are laid near the portal to that world. You need to come with me and away from this portal, you need to be amongst your own kind. Honestly, your mother was never like this" she sighs as she drags me up into a standing position. She lets go of me and the second that happen I just about collapse, only to be caught by someone. I look up to see Isaac grinning down at me. I narrow my eyes at him, still hating just the sight of him. Yes, he is gorgeous, but I could never see him as the nice, sweet, kind Isaac again. Not after he openly cheated on me. Quite literally openly.
Isaac starts to carry me away somewhere, but I wasn't paying too much attention as I go into my pocket to grab my phone. I can't be here any longer, I feel as though it's killing me. I need to get back to the world I'm used to.
"Isaac, please. I need you to get me back home. I feel like I'm dying" I sob as a few tears fall down my cheeks. Isaac looks at me with sympathy as he offers me a sad smile.
"You sort of are. After about four months of you turning sixteen, you go through a change. The one that will unlock your key powers. Basically, you're turning full Angel. And in order for that to happen, you need to be here in Angeli diligeno terram" he informs me. I stare up at him disbelief; no one ever told me that.
Angeli diligeno terram is Latin and it translates to 'Angels in love with the land'. We, Angels, speak Latin. As to why we speak Latin, I do not know. All I know is that we do, so right now I am specialised in in speaking English, Swedish and Latin. Although Latin still confuses me. I only learned it because of being here, Felicity used to bring me here almost every weekend when I was little, but as I got older I didn't want to spend as much time here. I found that every time I was in here I always got hurt in some way or another. Not to mention that I missed Alec, and the weekends are the only days I could really spend with him. I feel Isaac place me down somewhere, his lips leaving a ghost of a kiss on my cheek as his shaggy black hair gets in the way of my eyes.
"I really wish you wouldn't kiss me. Even if it's only a cheek kiss. I have a boyfriend and I hate you" I mumble, not meaning to sound so harsh but right now I felt pissed off. As well as sick, weak, and still fricking cold. I wonder if dad can feel my discomfort and annoyance. I mean, he does sometimes feel my emotions, but only when they're at a heightened state. The only reason I know that is because I did some experimenting with it when I was about 12; it was quite funny watching dad look all confused as he felt all these emotions that made no sense to him.
"Ammy, do you solemnly swear to follow the rules of the Angels. Will you obey all that our leader says, and will you mate with one of the male Angels? The male Angel shall be chosen by our leader and you will comply with no protests. In accepting this you will be helping to repopulate the Angels and you will also be helping with research revolving around Angels mating. Also, by accepting this you will become a full time Angel whose life will be dedicated to serving the mortals of the earth. You will act as a guardian Angel and a mother. As well as a loyal wife and follower. Do you accept this to be your new life? And you will also move into this world and leave your old world behind. You must now dedicate yourself to only the Angels' world and no others" she recites to me.
"I'm not agreeing to that at all" I grimace at her in distates, how can she even put such a horrid though forward. I'm not giving up my life to please her, and I'm certainly not giving up my family, my boyfriend, my education, my home just to come live here and be ordered around. And I am certainly not moving here just to be given a mate who I have to have children with. They can shove there oath up there asses. I refuse to agree to any such thing.
"Ammy, don't make this any harder than it already is. All you have to say is 'yes, I do agree to the oath that has been said to me' and all this fever and pain will go away. Just say yes" she encourages as the throbbing in my head turns into full on pounding.
"Ammy, you'll die if you don't say yes. Please, please just agree" Isaac begs, all I do is scowl at him as I hold my ground. I would rather die than be a slave to this world.
"I don't agree" I grit out as a pain starts to rumble through my stomach.
"Ammy, you need to say yes now otherwise you will die. And it won't be a painless death. I have seen this many times before, it is a painful process. All you have to do is say yes and the pain dies down and you become a full time Angel. A trusted Angel and not just some visiting Angel. You belong here, not in that world with those filthy humans, Vampires and Weres and whatever else scurries around there" Felicity shakes her head in disgust just as an elder man joins the group. Crap, it's the leader of the Angels.
AN: Okay, this chapter sort of wrote itself. But I hope you all still like it xx
