I am Not Afraid!

''No!No!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!''

''Isabella! Isabella! Isabella!Wake up its only a dream! wake up its okay little sis its okay!''

''Lucifer?'' I opened my eyes. Lucifer, my big brother was shaking me awake. His face looked extremely concerned. My entire family was in the large bedroom that I share with my twin Michelle. Ugh! This what they looked like: mum and dad were sitting on the end of my bed, dads floppy red hair which now had flecks of grey in it as messy as ever, he was squinting his eyes as he'ed left his glasses in his room, his angular face was a sharp shadow on the wall behind him.. Even sitting down he didn't seem much shorter than his 6ft5. Mums waist length naturally blonde hair was still in its night plait and as she had her green contact lenses out. I could see her dark eyes in the dim light. Paige, Paul, Michelle and Jack were Standing to the left of my bed. Paul and Paige are twins and both have dads red hair. Paige has dads grey eyes but Paul has mums hazel ones. Michelle and I are identical twins. We both have our aunty Rose's brown hair. We have greenish brown eyes. Jack has strawberry blonde hair. He has Granpa Joe's green eyes. The one thing that I noticed was that the look of concern that was on Lucifer's long red hair framed face was mirrored on all of there faces. Dream

''Bells? Are you okay?'' Paiges concerned soprano voice inquired.
I realized my face was wet. I'd been crying in my sleep. Again.
''I'm fine. I just had a nightmare that’s all.'' . Trying not to break down as I recalled my dream, I assured her.

Mum got up, sat down on my right and gave me a hug.' 'What was it about?'' she questioned softly. It was just the way she said it, as if she could make every thing better. ''Billy!'' I sobbed.

Paul, Lucifer, Jack, Michelle and Paige discreetly left the room at that point as they knew I would be embarrassed if they stayed and then I would just clam up. Mum and dad didn't say anything just waited for me to start.

''He was chasing me first in the Labyrinth under his palace again. Then I was just talking to Jack when Jack morphed into him. He took out a knife and stabbed me in the chest. I was gaping down at the knife in my chest when the knife morphed into our family ceremonial athame. It was a perfect copy. The 6 tiny rubies on the hilt going down crossing with the 3 sapphires going around the width. It even had ''An Clann le rua'' engraved on the tip. It looked so real.
Then it changed again and I was sitting on a throne craved out of mortal bones. It felt disgustingly greasy. And when I tried to stand I couldn't. It felt like I was pinned. The entire underworld was kneeling in front of me chanting. It sounded like an initiation rite. Gradually as if in slow motion it changed again. And I was in a black silk tattered wedding dress and Billy was standing next to me wearing a tux. I heard the words speak now or forever hold your peace. After about 2 seconds silence. I heard several pairs of footsteps running..............and at the back of the Temple my entire family had appeared, dad, mum, Lucifer, Paul, Paige, Jack and Michelle.

''He's not coming back bells. He's gone he can't hurt you anymore.'' My dad informed me.
''I know'' I answered in a small voice.
''He can't.'' He said firmly.
At that moment Paige sent all of us a witch message to inform us that Mine and Michelles Birthday breakfast was ready.
I looked at my Magic Rulez clock. (My favorite band) It was 7:30 already. I had been officially sixteen for 22 minutes.

The 3 of us headed downstairs. This was what Paige and Michelle had cooked in just mere 20 minutes: Sausages, Black Pudding, rashers, white pudding, french toast, oatmeal cookies and omelets. She had also made smoothies. We all tucked in enthusiastically.

25 Minutes later, when I was helping mom wash the dishes. I saw Paul grow Paler than the purest snow could be. He was having a premonition. That was one of his powers. I had it too but I could only see mortals. As soon as I saw his eyes clear I asked him ''What did you see Paul?''

To which he replied shakily ''I'm Sorry Bells, I'm so sorry''
''What? What did you see Paul?'' I repeated impatiently.

He looked at me and I saw that he was trembling.
He opened his mouth an then closed it.
''Billy's Back.'' He finally said.

''Oh Right!''

''I am not Afraid! I am not afraid! I AM NOT AFRAID!'' was my last panicked thought before everything went black.
