Cold. That is the only way I know to describe this strange feeling. This strange...sudden chill that rushed through my body. Bad. Yes, it was definitely something bad.
"Ai? What's wrong?" I had sprung up from my sleep and I guess I woke Nolan on the other side of the bed. I slowly looked down at him, still laying down with his head on the pillow, giving me a concerned look. His look became even more concerned when he saw my face. He quickly sat up and comfortingly rubbed my arm. "Ai?"
"I don't know..." My voice came out barely above a whisper. I cleared my throat and tried again. "I...I just got this weird feeling..."
"Like what?"
"I don't know...but it's something very, very bad."
"Did something happen?"
"I think-" I was interrupted by a banging on the door and someone yelling.
"AI!!! AI, IT'S LILIANA OPEN UP! AI!!!!" Liliana...? I quickly got up and opened the door for Liliana to come barging through the doorway, still screaming. "We have a huge, huge, HUGE, MAJOR FRICKIN' PROBLEM!!"
"What, what!? What is it!? Calm down, take a breath, and then tell me!" I offered a chair to her, but she just shook her head.
"No, no! No time for sitting! Or breathing! They got Caleb! They have him!"
"What do you mean...?" Liliana sighed in frustration.
"Like he isn't with us anymore! I don't know how they did it, but they did!"
"Did what!?"
"They've turned Caleb into a demon!"

~Chapter 12~
Sitting there silently, alone in my bed, staring at the phone.
Oh god, that sounded like something out of a sappy teenage movie where the girl is all lonely and depressive.
Well, I sorta am.
Caleb said he would call me tonight. He'd wrapped his arms around me, kissed my cheek, and whispered in my ear that he was going to call. Caleb isn't the type to say he'll call then not. Plus, it sounded like something important, or special, or something. Why hasn't he called!?!?
I sighed and looked at the clock again, just as I had done about 12 seconds ago. Still 10:57 p.m. He would have called by now... He's not going to call. I should just go to-
A sudden array of images burst into my mind; sitting in a wide field of colorful flowers, Ai, different somehow, smiling at me, a boy who seemed familiar yet I could not name, a girl, also familiar yet unnamed, and then, Caleb. It was like he was shining. He was bright and beautiful and amazing, his smile spreading warmth through my body. More images; kissing Caleb, on many different occasions, none of which had happened that I could remember, wearing a long white gown, sleeping next to Caleb, Caleb...holding a sword... Then, the most terrifying of all. An image of a man whom I had only met once, holding a long sword, splattered with blood, inching towards me, with a devious, scary smile plastered on his lips. And I suddenly knew I was seeing the same thing as Caleb. I knew Caleb was in trouble. I knew it had something to do with this evil, terrifying man.
"CALEB!!!"
Oh god, that sounded like something out of a sappy teenage movie where the girl is all lonely and depressive.

~Chapter 11~
"I see, Heaven listened to you."
That's what she had said, but...what did she mean? Heaven? Listened to me? What!?
"Kris, what was she talking about?" I was laying in bed and Kris was sitting in a chair, silently thinking.
"Who?" He asked, although he didn't really sound like he was there.
"That girl that was with Nolan...Ai. She said-"
Kris seemed to wake up from his state of mind and looked at me with that menacing look I'd seen him use on others. "Just forget about it." Okay, usually I'll listen to whatever he tells me, but this time no. He's been mysterious and careful what he says around me. He's hiding something from me, but what is it? If only I could get in his head! There's just something about all of this that's wrong, really wrong! But...it's Kris. My sweet, loving Kris. I trust him with my life...But...
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Kris, what are you not telling me?"
Kris softened and smiled. He walked over to me and put his hand on my cheek. "Daisy, it's just something stupid they have in Heaven." My expression didn't change. He tucked some hair behind my ear and softly stroked my hair. "Just go to bed. We'll make our move tomorrow."
I was walking toward the small flower stand to get Adri some white lilies. They're her favorite flower. I told her I was going to call her tonight. Plan is actually to call her from my cell while standing outside her house and surprise her. I think she forgot this is our four month anniversary. She's so forgetful... Kind of funny though that the guy is the one who remembers and not the girl. But that's Adri for you. She's so cute.
"Caleb!" A guy's voice called from behind me. I turned around to see some dude my age walking toward me. He was about my height with short black hair and dark blue eyes. A small girl with bubblegum pink hair was trailing behind him.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?"
The guy smiled a devious smile. "You could say that." Wait...That smile looks kind of familiar... The guy leaned into my personal space. "Look into my eyes. You'll remember." At first I just gave him a confused look, then it clicked. I was filled with pure terror. I couldn't remember exactly when it was, or where it was from, but an image of this guy flashed in my mind, smiling at me in that same devious way, holding a sword and splattered with blood.
I was shaking. I took a staggering step back and managed to whisper out one word.
"You."
That's what she had said, but...what did she mean? Heaven? Listened to me? What!?
"Kris, what was she talking about?" I was laying in bed and Kris was sitting in a chair, silently thinking.
"Who?" He asked, although he didn't really sound like he was there.

~Chapter 10~
For a second, there was dead silence. The look on the girl's face was of pure hatred.
"Ai, what are you-"
"She's right Nolan," Kris interrupted. Nolan very slowly turned his head toward him.
"What...?"
Kris smiled an evil smile, one that I had seen on his face a lot recently. "Fifteen years ago, I killed Queen Adriana and King Caleb of Heaven."
A look of horror and confusion came to Nolan's face. "You...?"
"You're the reason all of this is happening!!" The girl, Ai, spat at Kris. "Before the war, Heaven and Hell coexisted perfectly! We never fought with each other!" Her shoulders settled as a look of sadness crossed her face. "We were at peace..." Anger came back. "But then, Hell attacked out of nowhere! Many were killed fighting, attempting to protect everyone else. And when it was finally coming to an end...the young boy who had led Hell came forth...and killed Caleb and Adri..." She looked like she was about to cry. Then she looked at Kris in hate once again. "He is the reason there is a war."
Nolan was appalled. "Kris?" He looked to him, hoping for an explanation that would justify this all, show that his best friend was still there. But he didn't get one.
"It's all true."
Nolan was struck into silence. He just stared in horror at Kris. Ai turned towards me.
"What about you?" she asked. She looked confused and curious.
"Huh?" I asked.
Her eyes narrowed, as if she were trying solve some type of puzzle on my face. "You don't seem bad. Why are you a demon?"
My eyes widened. "Oh..." I looked down at my feet, scared of her eyes. "Well, when I died...I prayed that I would go where Kris was. I didn't care where that took me, as long as he was there."
"I see..." I looked back up at her, she smiled. "So Heaven listened to you." It was now I who was confused.
"Heaven?"
"Yes, Heaven-"
"Daisy," Kris said in a forceful tone. "We should go now." He turned to walk away and Nolan seemed to snap out of a trance.
"Wait!" Kris stopped, but didn't turn around. "Why did you attack Heaven!?"
Kris smiled at him over his shoulder, that same evil smile, and said simply, "To win."
Ai's anger fumed again. "TO WIN!?!? You just don't get it, do you!? Heaven and Hell are like the Yin and Yang, Light and Dark, Good and Evil! If either disappears, the balance is set off! Everything will be in chaos! Why do you think Heaven has never attacked back!? Not just Heaven, but if Hell dies-"
"Oh please!" Kris laughed. "There is no 'balance'! If Heaven goes away, it means one thing. Hell wins." He turned to me. "Come on Daisy, let's go."
I looked back at the horror-struck Nolan and the angered Ai, then went to Kris. "Okay..."
"Daisy," Ai said from behind me. "You're good, I can tell. He's not. It's never too late to change."
I hesitated, not sure what to say. "Thanks..." I whispered, unsure if she could even hear me. Then I just walked away with Kris. "Oh," I said, stopping. I turned around. "And, Merry Christmas." I said, attempting a smile.
Nolan sat by the window, staring out at the snowy night, just as he had been since we'd come back, two hours ago. I walked up behind him and also looked out at the snow. Before it had been bright and beautiful, but now it had a dark, gloomy feel to it.
"Nolan..." I put my hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Ai. I know this ruined Christmas for you," he said.
"No... No!" he looked at me, surprised by my sudden anger. "I don't care about that!" He looked at me, confused. "I just..." I looked away from his eyes. "I just hate seeing you like this." He gave me a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. He rested his hand on top of mine, then turned back towards the window.
"He was my best friend, Ai... My best friend...is leading Hell in the war." He seemed to not know what to think of this.
I was still thinking of what I should do, but my body was already acting. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders in a comforting hug. "I'm sorry... I know it's hard to wrap your mind around, but...please, just forget about what happened. Just for tonight. It's Christmas. We shouldn't be sad."
His shoulders slumped and he put his hands on my arms, as if to hold me too. "I know... I'm sorry, Ai. It's just hard..."
I sighed, but then perked up as I thought of something. "Oh!" He turned and looked at me. "I have something that will cheer you up!"
"Hm?"
I put my hand on his face, and kissed him. I then drew back and smiled at him. He looked dumbstruck.
"I'm confused..." he said.
I sighed with a laugh and rolled my eyes. "I love you, Nolan." His eyes widened in shock. "I always have. I had been waiting for you to tell me how you felt," I looked away and smiled sheepishly. "And then when you did, I had to leave..." I let my eyes meet his once again. "I've loved you since the day I met you."
He was still shocked for a few seconds, then a loving smile came to his face. He put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me. Yes! I managed to distract him, mission accomplished.
"Ai, what are you-"
"She's right Nolan," Kris interrupted. Nolan very slowly turned his head toward him.
"What...?"
Kris smiled an evil smile, one that I had seen on his face a lot recently. "Fifteen years ago, I killed Queen Adriana and King Caleb of Heaven."
A look of horror and confusion came to Nolan's face. "You...?"

~Chapter 9~
"You ready Ai?"
"Um...Well..." Nolan looked at me.
"What is it?"
I was fidgeting with my dress. "Well, it's just that Christmas is coming up...' Nolan raised his eyebrows at me. "A-And I wouldn't want to ruin Caleb's Christmas by giving him his memories and putting all this stress on him...and-"
"And you miss Christmas." Nolan was smiling, he could see right through me.
"Yeah..." In Heaven we don't really celebrate holidays. There is no Christmas. So, I haven't celebrated Christmas for a long time. The thought of it kind of made me excited.
"Okay, we can stay for Christmas, but we have to bring back Caleb's memories by New Years," Nolan said. YES!!!
"Yes, of course," I attempted to say seriously, but I couldn't hold back the smile creeping at the sides of my mouth. Nolan just laughed.
"OH MY GOSH!!!!! Nolan, wake up wake up!!!!!!!!!" Ai was shaking my shoulders frantically.
"Hmm? What the...? Ai, it's five in the morning, why the hell are you up so early?"
"It doesn't matter, come on!!!!" She grabbed my wrist and yanked me out of bed and out the door.
"Wait, Ai! I don't have a shirt-! Whoa..." A huge blast of cold air hit me when we got outside, but I didn't care. Everything, the ground, the trees, the surrounding buildings, were covered in pure white snow. Ai was spinning around happily as more snow fell.
"I know right!? It's so pretty!! I'd forgotten..." She said.
I laughed. "Yeah..."
"Hey, how about you get dressed and we go for a walk," she said.
"Okay, good idea."
"Kris, can we go up to Earth today?"
"Why?"
"Because it's Christmas!" I said with a smile.
He raised his eyebrows. "Daisy, we haven't celebrated Christmas in fifteen years."
"I know... But we're going to be going to war with Heaven soon... And I thought we should have some fun first!" Kris sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Fine, but only for a few hours."
"Yay!!"
"I miss this..." I looked at Ai. "This feeling. Living..." she held up her hand and a flake of snow landed on it and melted. "Feeling the snow on my hand, breathing in the cold air... It's...really..." Ai's eyes closed and she suddenly collapsed.
"AI!!!" I quickly caught her before she hit the ground. She was unconscious. I sighed in relief. She seemed okay.
"Hmm...?" What happened? I was walking with Nolan...and then... I opened my eyes. Snow was still falling. I was sitting on the ground under a tree, except my back wasn't leaning against a tree... "What...?"
"Shh... You must have feinted from the cold. Just rest for a minute, then we'll walk back," Nolan said. He was sitting behind me against the tree. He had his arms tightly around me, holding me close. He's so warm... I sunk into his arms.
"Okay..."
We sat there in silence for a little while, watching the snow fall, then Nolan straightened up. "No way..." he whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"Daisy?" He asked out loud. I looked out in front of us. There was a girl there. She was about our age and had glaringly pink hair, with eyes such a light shade of blue they were practically clear. She looked at Nolan in surprise.
There was a guy standing next to her. He was tall and muscular and he had deep dark blue eyes and short black hair. "Uh oh," he said. Wait... I've seen that guy before...
"Oh my god! It really is you! I'm so glad to see you-!" Nolan said, but he stopped when I stood up. "Ai?"
"You..." the guy looked at me and smiled that evil smile I'd seen before. "YOU KILLED ADRIANA!!!!!!!!!!"
"Um...Well..." Nolan looked at me.
"What is it?"
I was fidgeting with my dress. "Well, it's just that Christmas is coming up...' Nolan raised his eyebrows at me. "A-And I wouldn't want to ruin Caleb's Christmas by giving him his memories and putting all this stress on him...and-"

~Chapter 8~
"Come back...? And leave Adri...? N-No... I... I can't..." The thought of this hit me like a fatal blow. My legs nearly collapsed from under me. Nolan carefully put his arm around my waist and lowered me to the ground.
"I know this is really important and all, but Heaven hasn't been this disorganized since...well I would have still been alive, so I don't know," he attempted to get a laugh out of me, but my face was housing a severely stressed look. He sighed. "They're lost without a leader. Even after Caleb and Adriana were lost so long ago, at least they had you. Now, with you gone things are getting crazy. They need you, Ai."
"But I'm just a replacement!" I finally found my words. "We all need Caleb and Adri! I can't just leave, they haven't remembered yet!"
"Then they need to remember. Soon." I looked up at Nolan. He was deep in thought, but when he felt my eyes on him, he smiled at me. "We'll work this out. Don't worry."
"WHAT!?!? What do you mean you're leaving!?!?" I jumped from Liliana's outburst.
"Lil, I'm sorry. But Heaven needs a leader. They need me." She put her hand on her head as if she had a headache.
"But Adri and Caleb need you too," she said. "How are their memories supposed to return if you're not here?"
"Well..." I said. "I think I might be able to have Caleb's memories return..." Hope crossed Liliana's face. "But I'm not completely sure if it'll work," I added quickly. The hope didn't fade.
"Whatever," Liliana shook off my doubt. "Why Caleb though? Why not Adri? Or them both?"
"Well, Caleb was always better at handling tough situations. And as long as he stays around Adriana, her memories should come back to her."
"Okay...So how are you going to bring back Caleb's memory?"
"Same way us angels do everything. I'm going to pray for it."
Liliana nodded. "Good luck," she said.
I smiled. "Thanks," I said. "I'm going to need it."
"I know this is really important and all, but Heaven hasn't been this disorganized since...well I would have still been alive, so I don't know," he attempted to get a laugh out of me, but my face was housing a severely stressed look.
