This isn't from anyone's point of view. Sorry for not posting it sooner but my brother, being stupid, decided to zoom down the hill on his bike, that he can't even ride yet, crash into the back of a Toyota and get sent to hospital for stitches. I know it's not really an excuse but I've had to cater to his every need and I wasn't in the mood to write for those days. Enjoy.
What do you mean you saw Luce?" Cam asks, annoyed. Today he was sporting black chinos, a blood red tee-shirt that showed off his muscles and he had given himself a hair cut. It is now styled like Stephan's hair from 'Vampire Diaries'.
Roland takes a step forward incase Cam advances on her. Last week, Roland had re-dyed his golden dreadlocks blonde and it gave him a cool look that he was pulling off. He was wearing loose jeans and a dark green tee-shirt.
Callie stammers a reply, taking a step backwards and bumps into the arm or the couch. Se quickly brushes her blond her out of her eyes so she can see whats happening. "I-I mean that I j-just happened to see t-them." Her hopeful eyes glance over towards the door, looking for an escape but 2 angels and 2 demons block her path.
Arriane pushes herself off the table. The last time Callie had seen Arriane, her hair had been cut just below the ears by Luce. Now it had grown back down to her waist and was in a high ponytail. She was wearing camouflaged army sweats and a light brown, tight tank top that hugged her curves. "It's no big deal Cam - we saw Luce 6 months ago." She walks over to the window and looks out of it. They are in the wood cabin that they took Luce to after her adventure with the announcers and Arriane can't help but feel like they are being watched. Well, of course they are being watched, there are announcers everywhere.
"Yeah, but you remember what The Throne said don't you? No-one is allowed to interfere with her, including all of her friends." Cam sighs and sits back down on the couch. "Look, I know that it was an accidental meeting but you could have ruined it all." He continues.
"Ruined it all? All I did was go and visit the grave of my dead, ex-best friend and I get hassled for paying my respects?" Callie gets all up in Cams face, finding her courage, and Annabelle carefully tries to get her to sit back down. Annabelle's hair hadn't changed, apart from the fact that it was an inch longer. She was in ripped, black leggings and a purple, shoulder tee-shirt.
"I didn't mean -" Cam starts but Callie cuts him off.
"No - you did mean it. You're just pissed off that you haven't seen her yet and everyone else has. Do you know who's fault that is?" She points a finger at him. "Yours! It's not my fault that you disappeared for 17 years is it? Or were you just grieving? Whatever, I don't care, but don't take it out on me. I'm through listening to your bullshit right now. Maybe if you'd spend more time keeping an eye on her instead of hiding, you would have noticed that she's remembering and -"
"What?!" Arriane cuts her off. "Why weren't I told? For heavens sake, I never get told anything anymore!" She crosses her arms over her chest and huffs.
"Callie," Roland starts slowly, taking a step towards her, "What do you mean Luce is remembering?"
Annabelle takes a sip of her caramel latte and puts it down on the table. "That's impossible." She states. "Luce can't remember and neither can Daniel." They all turn to Callie, expectantly.
"Well...maybe it can." She looks over to Cam. "You said that The Throne said that no-one can see Luce or have any contact with her, right?"
Cam nods, clasping his hands together and lacing them behind his head. "So what?"
"So..." Callie continues, "the last time Luce started remembering her past was because Daniel and you lot avoided her as much as possible so it wasn't triggered that time. But when she finally saw the good side to Daniel, it clicked something and she started remembering." Arriane and Cam nod but Roland and Annabelle look confused.
"I don't get it." Annabelle says with a puzzled look on her face. "I mean, I know that's what happened but still..."
"Yeah," Roland adds, "what does this have to do with Luce remembering this time?"
Arriane gives them a 'duhh-it's-obvious' look and receives a 'I-still-don't-get-it' look from Roland. "Ugh," Arriane groans, "do I have to explain everything?" Silence is her answer. "Basically, what if The Throne only said we cant see her because it might cause her to remember. What if, God couldn't actually make them human, mortals? What if he could only make them forget like the last curse?" Reality slams into Annabelle's face and her eyes widen. "The loophole." She whispers.
"You can take the person away from the angel, but you can't take the angel away from the person." Callie says.
"So what your saying is that maybe we have a shot at getting them back?" Cam asks, hope gleaming in his emerald eyes.
"What I'm saying is that we have to play our cards right." Callie crosses one leg over the top of the other, folding her arms. "Last time, Luce burst into flame. Who knows what will happen this time?"
I hope you liked this chapter. Hopefully I can upload a new chapter every 2 days but if I can't, the most delay will be 5 days. Thank you for reading this far and for all the views! It's nearly been 5 days and I already have 93 views! Thank you! Next chapter will be back to Luce's POV.
