Unforeseen Secrets - Chapter 23

"Elaine!" I rushed over to her, Eris pushed me back with air, she controlled all the elements.

"Don't touch my sister!" I yelled.
"Your sister is a half angel of darkness, did you know that?"
"What? No, that can't be. That can't be true, tell me that's not true Elaine."

"Evie, I didn't know, Daddy told me I was like you, he said I was a half angel of summer. I didn't know he was lying. I didn't know." She could barley speak the last couple words through her sobs.

Even if she was a half angel of darkness, she'd never done dark magic or been close to any dark angels, she was practically a half angel of summer like me, but if she used dark magick even once, it would be terrible, she would gain the mentality of a true dark angel.

"Elaine continue the spell!"
"No, don't! Elaine don't, if you do you'll really be a dark angel!"
"Elaine let's strike a deal if you say the spell that will give me access to the book of spells, I won't kill your sister or anyone else she cares about but, I have to get rid of you."

"Elaine it's okay, you don't have to do it." I said as calmly as I could.
Greg placed his hand on my shoulder and spoke, "Evie, I have a feeling Dominic's in trouble."

"Eris what did you do to Dominic!"
"I'm afraid the choice is yours Evie, Dominic or your dear little sister?"

"No." Said Elaine, "I-I love you Evie, I really, really love you, I don't want to leave you, do you love me?"
"Yes!" I cried "I, I don't care that you're a half dark angel, so don't leave me okay?"

"Tell daddy I love him." My legs could no longer support me and I slowly sank to the floor, I felt someone's arms wrap around me but I was too caught up in grief to pay attention to anything but how much I didn't want my little sister to leave.

I really wanted to be able to give her guy advice when she was older, and help her pick out a dress for prom, I wanted to play silly little kid games with her until she outgrew them.

"Say the spell Elaine!" Screamed Eris, anger surged through me, she was the cause of the pain of all the people I cared about. I turned to look at Ivy and Kyle again. What had she done to them!

"I'll say a spell Eris but not the one you want!" Elaine crouched down and picked a white candle up that had been on the floor. She concentrated on it and soon it was lit.

"What are you doing!" Eris reached over to Elaine but she had a shield around her

"I consecrate and bless this candle in the divine name of the Goddess. Let all negativity and hindrance be cast forth hence from. I charge thee now with magical powers in the divine name of the Goddess. Seven magical knobs of blue. Make this wish of mine come true. I wish to vanish all dark angels and half angels of darkness from this earth!"

It was the wishloke. The spell that Lilith had used to get rid of Abaddom.
"Bye Evie!"
"Bye Elaine!"

I no longer cried, I put on a brave face and smiled as fog engulfed Eris and Elaine. When the fog dispersed, the sun came out and leaked though the windows.

Ivy and Kyle lay on the floor sound asleep and I had the strangest feeling inside me. I felt like laughing and crying at the same time, Eris and all the dark angels were gone, I no longer had to worry about Aaron trying to kill me or Eris harming the people around me and trying to take the book of spells.

Elaine had sacrificed herself, despite the fact that she had the heart of an angel of summer, she was a half angel of darkness and because of that she was gone now. Greg was also asleep on the floor. I stood up and wiped a tear that had escaped.

"You did it babe." I turned and Dominic stood there beside Athena.
"Dominic, where were you?" I rushed over to him and wrapped my arms around him.

"I was with you the whole time, Eris put a spell on me that forced me to stay invisible."

"Evangaline look your wings!" Exclaimed Athena. Dominic released me and I turned my head and looked over my shoulder, I smiled at my beautiful pure white wings, there wasn't anything abstract and unique about them but to me they were a fresh start.

I accepted what I was. I'd been so afraid of change but really it'd been what I most needed, change. The word had frightened me but it no longer did.

"See you are special, without even training you managed to make your wings appear, I can't wait to see you flying." Said Dominic.

"Why don't you too go talk in the bedroom." Said Athena as I made my wings go away, for now.

"Uh okay, will they be all right?" I pointed at Kyle, Ivy, and Greg.
"They'll be fine, go talk."
********************************************************************

I took a seat on the bed and Dominic stood in front of me, eyeing me as if he were searching for something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm waiting."
"For what?" I asked confused.

"For you to yell at me and tell me how things would have been different if I hadn't hidden the book of spells in Kyle's house and-"

"Thank you."
"What?"
"Thank you." I said again looking into his eyes and smiling at the confusion that reflected in them.

For what? It's my fault Elaine's gone."
"Thank you for showing me how beautiful change can be. It isn't your fault Elaine's gone, she was brave, she sacrificed herself for me, for our dad, and for everyone else who has ever been harmed by dark angels."

It was sunset, I looked towards the small window in the room. The sunset was beautiful, it never failed to awe me.

"Do you remember what you told me." Said Dominic, his eyes were locked on the sunset.

"There's so many things I've told you, I-"
"That day at the park, I was flying and I had you in my arms, it was sunset and you said the sunrise was like that moment when you're just waking up and when you're drifting of to sleep it's like the sunset."

"You still remember that?"
"How could I forget, that was the moment I fell in love with you." I could no longer see a future without Dominic, I wanted him to be by my side forever.

"A month ago I couldn't have pictured myself saying this but Dominic Bennett I'm in love with you, it's a sweet kind of love and it fills me with warmth, I don't think I can live without your snide remarks, your amazing kisses, and the way you make me feel like I'm so much more than I really am."

"Don't forget my nice bunns, you definitely couldn't live without my nice bunns," He lay down on the bed and patted the spot next to him, I lay down and cuddled close to him.
"Please your ass isn't all that."
"Deny it all you want but I still remember that day you told me I had nice bunns."

"That was because of a bet I made with Zoey!"
"It might have been a bet but you do like my ass." I crawled on top of him and gave him a quick arousing kiss. "Yes Dominic I like your ass."

"Good now, how many kids do you want? I was thinking six or seven but if you think that's to much I'll settle for five."
"Five! I do not plan on having a baby anytime soon, let alone five!"

"No not now of course but definitely in the future. I think we should name one of them Elaine." Tears filled my eyes and I buried my head in the crook of Dominic's neck.

"You don't have to hold it in, let it out, cry as much as you want."
I looked up again, my cheeks wet with tears and I smiled, "I think one or two will be enough and I would definitely like to name one Elaine."

"I was kidding about the 'I'll settle for five' thing, one or two sounds great." I kissed him again, harder and longer this time, his hands slipped under my dress and he traced circles on my back with his fingers.

He pulled my dress up slightly and his mouth left my lips to kiss me softly on the neck. I pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the ground. Dominic got rid of my dress and switched our positions, now he was on top of me.

I laughed at his male dominance and unbuttoned his jeans. Once his jeans were gone he kissed me again and stopped only to say..
"I love you."
"I love you too." All I can say is, we didn't just sleep that night...
