Magnus gently sits her down upon the bed and kneels down before her holding her hands trying to calm her down.
"You need to listen to me okay."
She nods.
"I'm pretty sure I know who has Milo and I'm going to go see."
She goes to get up but he sits her back down.
"No. You need to stay here."
"But I have to go with you to get Milo. Please."
He gently wipes the tears from her face, shaking his head.
"What I'm going to do to keep you safe in the apartment, you can't freak out okay."
She slowly nods. "Okay."
He stands up and closes his eyes raising his hands as blue balls of light appear suddenly the room was filled with bright blue light. Cristy closes her eyes s
hielding her eyes from the brightness of the light.
Cristy opens her eyes and looks around the room it still looked the same. She looks up at him with a puzzled look upon her face.
"What happened?"
Magnus rubs the back of his head and looks up at the ceiling wondering if he should go down that road and tell her about what he just did.
"Okay." He sits down beside her and holds her hands staring into her eyes.
"That was magic. I cast a spell to protect you in this room, it's a protection spell."
She raises her eyebrow looking at him.
"A spell? Huh? What?"
He chuckles a little and nods.
"Yeah a spell. I'm a warlock."
She stands up backing away slowly.
"Oh wow you are nuts."
He laughs and puts his hands on his hips.
"Yes I am but this time I'm actually being sane when I tell you that I'm a warlock. That protection spell will keep anything from getting into harm you and only I
can get inside."
She slowly nods as he walks up to her and holds her.
Cristy stares up at him and into his eyes noticing his eyes were changing from human to cat like eye colours of yellow/green.
"Your eyes..they look like cat eyes. Why do they look like that and why am I only noticing it now?"
He smiles.
"The block on your memories is slightly breaking down so now you can see the true me. You see humans or mundanes as people like myself call them will only
see myself and others like me well human form and not our true form."
She nods and pulls away.
"So since I can see this stuff, what am I?"
He wasn't sure on how much information he could give her, since he didn't want to cause her pain with the memory block.
"You're not a full mundane."
She walks over to the mirror looking at her reflection as he walks up behind her.
"What am I then since I'm not a full human? What does that mean?"
"You're an original immortal witch as was your mother. Your mother met and fell in love with a mundane which is your father, then you were born. You are half
mundane and witch. The witch part of you is what makes you see people like myself in true form."
Her mouth drops in shock and turns to face him.
"No! My parents are dead! I'm an orphan."
He shakes his head.
"Your parents are alive, I'm not lying to you."
She stares into his eyes and realizes he was telling the truth just by feeling it.
"So why can't I do what you did?"
"Dante put a block, almost like a wall up in your mind to block your memories or anything connected to being a witch."
She nods.
"I need to go, try not to worry okay?"
He smiles and holds her tightly. She softly sighs closing her eyes resting her head against his chest. He leans over to kiss her head.
He pulls away and looks at her before leaving.
"I was wondering when you were going to show up."
A man says who was standing by the bookshelf placing a book back. He slowly turns to see Magnus walking over to him as he pulls the hood back from his
head.
He smiles at him.
"Hello Dante."
Dantes goes and sits down on a chair by his massive desk staring at Magnus.
"Why do I owe this pleasure?"
"You know why I'm here so stop pretending that you don't know."
Dantes puts his hands together and smiles at him.
"I know you have the boy and I'm here for him."
Dante's eyes become angry as he glares at Magnus.
"He's fine and I haven't done anything to harm him."
"So give him to me and lift the wall in Aethelefled's mind while you're at it."
Dante laugh echoes the room.
"No."
He gets up and looks out the window.
"Why did you do this Dante?"
Dante turns to look at him.
"Someone asked me to do it, that's why."
"Who and why?"
"Do you have any idea how dangerous that boy would be to us and to the world?"
Magnus folds his arms over his chest.
"I'm assuming that you are talking about Valentine."
He nods.
"Valentine informants told him about Aethelfled being pregnant with a half demon, half witch mundane child and he decided he was going to take the child and
Aethelfled."
"Why? They are no use to him."
"He was going to use the blood of that child to create the ultimate army of warriors. They would be all powerful since after all they would have the blood of a
witch and demon but would be able to walk around in the shadow of a mundane lifestyle without being detected by anyone."
Magnus goes and sits down upon the chair.
"Aethelfled was going to be his breeder Magnus! She was going to be used to make more children that were like this one! We cannot have that happen!"
Magnus leans forward closing his eyes and slowly opening them.
"Who are you to decide that! Who are you to keep my son away from me?"
Magnus yells at him.
"You kept the woman I love away from me along with my son! I will never get those moments back with my son!"
Dante sighs and sits back down.
"That I am sorry for Magnus, but I was doing only what I was told to do. It was for the greater good, not out of spite."
Magnus stares at him.
"We were just trying to protect her and the unborn child." Dante softly whispers.
"Who wanted you to do this?"
Magnus hears a door open and he turns.
"I did."
His eyes widen in shock.
"Lila."
She goes and stands near him.
"I never wanted to hurt you or my daughter Magnus. But I had to do something to protect them both from Valentine. I will not have my daughter be used like
that in any way!" She says angrily.
"Where is Milo now?"
"He's in a room sleeping. We are keeping him safe here."
"He's my son Lila and I want him back!"
Magnus gets to his feet going over to the women looking down at her.
"Don't use that tone with me and no you can't have him back! He's safer here then with her! Didn't you see the consequences of your actions by impregnating
my daughter! You both should have known she would get pregnant since she's a mundane!"
"I love her! We knew very well about our actions and we wanted this because we love each other! We wanted to have a family and live quietly away from all
this and everything that went with it!"
"You created a monster Magnus! He will destroy us all and Valentine will use his blood to make an all powerful army!"
"I would have kept them safe!"
"Nothing is safe with Valentine and you very well know that! He would have found some way to get she and her boy!"
"That boy's name is Milo! I would have done everything in my power to make sure nothing happened to them!"
The room goes silent.
"I never wanted Aethelfled to be involved with the likes of you. I wanted her to be with a mundane not any of this but instead she defied me by falling in love
with you and running off to be with you!"
Lila says coldly as she turns her back on him.
"Wow Lila still hate me all these years because I fell in love with her! She didn't want anyone else but me!"
"If she had been with a mundane Magnus none of this would have happened!"
Lila turns and screams at him.
"Give me Milo and lift the wall in her mind!"
Lila shakes her head. "No." She says calmly.
Magnus gets up and walks over to the women staring at her.
"I love Aethelfled and she loves me. I want her back with my son so we can be a family."
Lila looks at him shaking her head again.
"No. She will remain how she is as for your son he will be fine."
"The wall is slowly crumbling and she's already starting to remember things."
Lila looks up at Dante in surprise.
"What? That can't be. What have you done! What did you do?" Lila screams at him.
He smiles and shrugs.
"I did nothing, I didn't have to do anything since you should have known that the spell would have to be recast to keep the wall up in her mind every two years
and well Dante didn't recast the spell."
Lila turns to look at Dante.
"Bastard! You knew this and said nothing!"
Dante gets up from his chair, walking over to her smiling standing beside Magnus.
"No I didn't because I don't agree with what you did Lila, so I just left that part out."
Dante shrugs and winks.
"Oops sorry." He laughs at her.
"Do you have any idea what you have done! Valentine will come to take my daughter and that demon spawn of a boy!"
"You didn't have the right to alter life for Aethelfled or her son!" Dante yells at Lila.
Dante turns to look at Magnus.
"I'm going to lift the wall on her mind, and we're going to create a portal for you, Milo and Aethelfled to go through to where ever you want and no one will find
you. The spell will give you three a cover of life as a normal mundane and no one will ever know where you are."
"No! You can't do and I won't let you!"
Dante laughs.
"Go lie down."
He turns his head and Lila goes flying into the air sitting in a chair.
"Quiet you."
Magnus smiles at Dante.
"Why did you change your mind?"
Dante shrugs and smiles.
"I'm a sucker for happiness though I heard that you're in a relationship already so how will that work out when I give Aethelfled back her memories?"
Magnus sighs and shrugs.
"Honestly I don't know. I won't know until it all comes into play and his name is Jeffery."
Dante laughs and nods.
"I will get Milo and by the time you get back to your place the wall should be down. It will make her sleep and when she wakes up she will back to normal."
Magnus nods and waits for Dante to get Milo.
Dante comes back into the room and places Milo in his arms.
"He should wake up soon."
Magnus smiles and nods, he then leaves.
Magnus puts Milo on the couch and goes into the bed where he finds Aethelfled on the bed. He sits on the bed and gently touches her arm, she begins to stir a
little.
Her eyes open and blink staring at Magnus.
"Magnus." She softly whispers.
He smiles and nods.
"Who are you?"
She gives him an odd look and sits up.
"Ah, I'm Aethelfled, why are you asking me this?"
She begins to think back on what took place but everything seemed fuzzy to her but it was all coming clean now since the last five years.
"Long story."
She slowly nods and looks as she touches his face.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Milo."
She tilts her head to the side looking at him.
"That's all water under the bridge."
She gets up and goes to the window looking outside.
"So, what happens now Magnus? Should I disappear from your life again because I know you moved on and I don't blame you."
Magnus gets up and goes up to her putting his arms around her from behind.
"I don't think I really care for Jeffery, not like I do for you. I was trying to forget you, but it wasn't working wrong I know."
He pulls away and watches her walk out of the room. He follows her into the living room as she covers up Milo.
"So I will leave with Milo and if you want to come with us you can, but if you don't then I know it's over."
Magnus shakes his head a he explains about Dante's portal and plan.
"So you see if you go into the portal and I don't follow with you, we will never see each other again and this time it will be for good. So I have to decide on
what I want to do, I don't want to miss out on anymore on my son's life."
She slowly nods and goes to walk away when Magnus rushes over to her pulling her close kissing her hard and passionately.
He slightly pulls away, breathing hard against her lips.
"I don't want to lose you or my son again so I'm going with you and this time it will be forever."
Tears fall down their cheeks as they hold each other tightly.
He kisses her forehead and pulls away texting Dante to set everything up.
Soon a red light appears in the room, Magnus writes Jeffery a note before picking Milo up from the couch. Then he and Aethelfled walk into the portal to
destination unknown. With a flash the portal disappears.
"Magnus! Hello?"
Jeffery comes inside and finds the place empty.
He spots a note on the table picking it up and reading it. Rage and hurt fill him as he crumples the letter in his hands.
"Damn you Magnus! Damn you to hell! I gave you everything and you leave me for that bitch!"
Jeffery begins to trash the apartment in a fit of rage, before slumping to the floor with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand.
Hours later.
"Hello Jeffery."
He looks up from his drunken stupor and gasps out.
"Valentine."
He kneels down and takes the bottle from his hand and takes a drink from it.
"I can help you find them and get revenge if you like."
Valentine smiles.
"How?" Jeffery gives him a look.
"Leave all that to me my friend and trust me."
Jeffery smiles and nods.
Valentines smiles.
The End.
