~Chapter 18~

   What am I going to do...?
   First Ai, then Nolan, who was SUPPOSED TO bring Ai back. Everyone who goes to Earth doesn't come back! Soon, I might have to go there too to find out what's been going on! What is taking them so long!? Heaven needs them...
   As if listening to my very thoughts, I heard a familiar voice say, "Miranda, we're back."
   It took me a few seconds to register, so I very lamely and stupidly let slip a mindless, "Huh?"
   Then I looked up at the voice, and everything clicked in my brain as the girl with long white-blond hair and bright blue eyes standing next to the boy with the short brown hair and green eyes bent down in front of me with her hand up, waving her fingers in a "hello" gesture, and with a friendly smile on her face said, "Hey."
   A wide smile spread across my face. "Ai!" I leaped up and hugged her. "You're finally back!"
   She laughed as she returned my hug. "Sorry I took so long."
   She, Nolan, and I all sat down. "What's been happening? Do they remember yet?"
   The smile on Ai's face faded and she looked down at the ground. Nolan stood up and began pacing back and forth.
   "Well... Sort of..." Ai muttered. Sort of? What? How is that possible?
   Nolan finally spoke. "Adriana has remembered everything," he sighed. "But Caleb's memories...Well..." He trailed off. Ai spoke up.
   "We think they've just been a little mixed up."
   Before I had a chance to respond with one of the numerous question which appeared at this, Nolan raised his voice. "A little mixed up!? He's a freaking demon!" Ai flinched away from his yelling voice, but had a look of understanding in her eyes when she looked at him. For a split second I wanted to smile. They finally hooked up. Then my mind returned to the real world. Did he say demon?
   "What? How is that even possible!?"
   Nolan, who stopped pacing to stand still with his hand gripping his forehead as if it would burst, shook his head and said, "We don't know." His grip on his forehead tightened. "All we know is that it is, and Kris," he spat the name as if it were a curse word, "did it."
   I felt as though I would loose consciousness. "This is terrible... What will we do?"
   "Nothing," Ai said, voice barely above a whisper. I looked at her, worried she'd gone insane. She looked back at the door she and Nolan had just come through, which led to a platform in which people went to and from Earth. "It's up to them now." She sighed. "I hope they're alright."
