I am going to kill her. I am sooooo going to kill her. Damn it! Where did Adri go!? After Ai and Nolan left, I explained to Adri everything which had happened, and then we both went home. But today, she didn't show up at school! I've called her and texted her and stopped by her house and asked her mother where she was, but she didn't know, so I've been walking around town looking for her for over an hour now with no luck! Where did she go!?
As I neared the bridge overlooking the small lake in our town, I saw a girl with brown hair leaning against the railing, looking down at the fish in the lake. It's her! I found her!
"Adriana! There you are!" She slowly looked up at me. She looked as though her soul had left her, lifeless, her face blank, mind void of thought.
"Liliana," she said after staring at me for a few moments.
"What's up? I've been looking for you all day." I leaned against the railing beside her.
Her voice was just above a whisper. "I don't know what to do Lil..."
"Adri..." She began to cry. I took a quick deep breath, then stood up straight, stomping my foot against the ground in the process. She jumped and looked at me in surprise. "Look," I said, taking on a strong tone. "I know you're sad and depressed, but crying over this isn't going to help anything! Right now, what you need to do, is stand up straight, wipe off your face, and start thinking!"
"But-"
"No!" I interrupted. "In the past life you were Adriana, Queen of Heaven! You were a strong ruler who all looked up to! You were strong then, and you can be now!"
Finally, I got her to raise her voice. Unfortunately, it was in anger. "But it hurts Liliana! It hurts, so much! He left me! He hates me!! He's with them, and against us! But I love him! I love him more than anything, and-!" Her voice cracked as more tears flooded her eyes. "And he doesn't love me!"
"Adri..." I sighed. "Adriana, he does love you. You know that! You can't for one second believe that he doesn't!"
"But he said-"
"They've been messing with his head, Adriana! They turned him into a demon! Who knows how the hell they did it, but they did! But he does love you and that is not going to change! It doesn't matter what they do to him, he will always love you and he will always be the Caleb that you love."
"But he's not! Not right now, you said it yourself, he's a demon!"
"But we can change that! He's still in there, we just have to bring him out! We can do it, together."
She looked at me, tears streaming down her face, with a helpless look. "But what if we can't?"
"We can." She didn't look convinced. "We will."
How can Liliana be so sure of everything? So sure that this is all going to be okay? Just because she can see the future doesn't mean she knows everything that's going to happen!
Okay, maybe it does...
But still! She can't see that far ahead. Just into the next day or so. So how can she be so confident that we'll be alright? She doesn't know! None of us do! Yet still, everyone is trying to tell me that I can do it, that we can do it. But what if I can't? What if we can't?
So I asked her that. "But what if we can't?"
"We can." You don't know that... "We will."
Something about the tone in her voice and the look in her eyes reminded me of my days as an angel. As a ruler of Heaven, I was strong, just as she's being now. I was wise, and kept my head level during times like this. But I'd always had Caleb by my side before...always there to hold me when I cried, to help me contain my feelings, help me be strong. Now he wasn't here, and I needed him more than ever.
But here was Liliana, being as I used to. This experience has matured her. It's time that I be mature. I can do this. With Liliana's help, I can. We, Liliana and I, will do this.
I looked up to the sky, and closed my eyes.
Caleb, I'm coming for you.

~Chapter 16~
Caleb...
Caleb, I remember everything...About you, about Ai, about us... Caleb!
I looked up at the sky, covered by dark clouds, drenching me in rain. Where could he be at this moment? In Hell? Would they have taken him there? I wonder what he's thinking at this exact moment... Is he thinking about me?
No. He doesn't love me anymore...why would he be thinking about me?
Adri...
I don't understand...after everything we've been through...Hell, we were even together in a past life! I mean...it's a little blurry...but I can see some random flashes of memories, of me and Adri, together, happy, beautiful. And even after all of that, how could she just leave me like that!? Damn it, that man, Kris, he told me, and I wouldn't believe him. I didn't want to believe him when he said that she didn't love me enough to stay with me. But he was right. He offered, and she declined, and he was right. Adriana doesn't love me. Not like I love her. Loved her. It's time to move on...
Yet I still couldn't get my mind off of her... Her soul calls to me... I finally under stood why it was that Adri and I were so connected, when Kris helped me remember my past. It's because of our relationship in our previous life, as King and Queen of some small island named Heaven for its beauty. There was some sort of unbreakable string connecting us through life and death, causing us to be drawn toward each other. Which is why the second I saw her, I wanted nothing more than to simply be around her... She was so beautiful...with her cute dimples and her shiny brown hair... I still remember that first day I had transferred to our school like it was yesterday... How all through the day I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, but being too shy at the time to even speak a word... Even when she approached me the next day, I was so silent at the sight of her, my tongue was dry and I could barely manage a 'Hi'. But when I spoke, the smile that came across her face was something which could have blinded anyone. Because she too had felt the connection...
Damn!! Here I am again, thinking about Adri! I shouldn't waste my time, she doesn't even spare me a second thought.
"Hey, come on man, cheer up!" I looked up at the man who claimed he was my friend, Kris. His face was completely familiar, as another blurry piece of my past.
"I just..." I started. "I don't..." I was unable to form any complete sentence with my mouth.
"It's not worth it," he said. "Girls are stupid."
Daisy, a girl with long pink hair who I had begun wondering could even speak, finally raised her voice at this. "Excuse me?"
Kris rolled his eyes then turned toward her with a sweet smile. "Except for you of course." I see, they must be a couple. Like me and-
Nevermind.
The smile was lost when his face turned back to me. "But seriously, she's not worth it."
"Jeez," Daisy said. "Go easy on him, he's just been through a breakup!" Then she walked over and sat next to me. With a kind smile she said, "Don't worry, he usually isn't like this."
Kris scowled. "Like what?"
Then I turned my attention to the room we were in. It appeared to be a bedroom, with dark blue colors all around it, such as the paint on the walls and the bed covers. The furniture, which included a desk with a lamp on it, a dresser, and a bookshelf filled with old-looking books, was all painted black. Overall, it was a pretty dark room. And I had no idea where it was.
"Where are we anyway?"
Kris's answer was quick and rushed. "Don't worry about that now." Something about the way he averted his eyes made me suspicious. "All you should worry about right now is what we're going to do next."
"Do next? About what?" I noticed Daisy had looked up at Kris with a look that seemed to be a mixture of worry, suspicion, and disappointment. I wonder what's going on there...? But I didn't ask. Kris's answer distracted me.
"About the war."
Caleb, I remember everything...About you, about Ai, about us... Caleb!
I looked up at the sky, covered by dark clouds, drenching me in rain. Where could he be at this moment? In Hell? Would they have taken him there? I wonder what he's thinking at this exact moment... Is he thinking about me?

~Chapter 15~
"What do you mean Caleb's a demon?" Nolan had pulled on a shirt and came out to the living room with me and Liliana.
Liliana looked at Nolan, his brown hair messed up and his eyes still a little hazy from sleeping. Then she looked at me, wearing a tiny white nightgown, my hair also messy. She raised her eyebrows at me and smiled out the corner of her mouth, void of all the panic she had just had. She turned her attention back to Nolan. "Wait, who are you?" She asked, still smirking.
"He's..." I started. Nolan looked at me, curious of what I would say. I smiled. "My boyfriend."
"Ooh," she smiled and winked at me. Jeez, she's thinking weird things... "Is he alive?" she asked, serious returning to her face.
"No. He's like me." Liliana nodded. "So what-?"
For the second time that night, someone banged on my door, screaming. "AI!!!"
I opened the door and a crying, panicking Adriana stepped in. "Adriana! What are you doing here?"
She...hugged me. Then she held me out at arm's length. "I remember! I remember everything!"
"Really? How!?" Adriana spun around to face Liliana. She was immediately confused.
"Liliana...?" She looked to me for help. "What...?"
"Oh, Liliana is your protector. I believe she was given a small fraction of everyone's power, so she could protect you."
"Oh... Interesting..." she said, though she didn't seem to really think that.
"So how did you remember?"
"I don't know... I was just sitting there, and my memories all just flooded into my mind. I think it had some correlation with-" Adriana stopped and fell silent, her tears acting up again.
"With whatever happened to Caleb?" Nolan offered. At the sound of his name, Adri put her face in her hands.
"Caleb! What happened to him? He wasn't himself..."
Liliana put her arms around Adriana. "Adri... He's a demon."
Adriana looked at her as if she were crazy. "What? How is that even possible?" She looked around, at Nolan, and then at me. I shook my head.
"Kris," Nolan said through gritted teeth.
"Who?" Liliana asked.
"God damn it! That bastard!" Nolan suddenly yelled, causing me, Adri, and Liliana to jump. He sat down in a chair, trying to control his raging emotions.
"Kris..." I said to Liliana. "He's the leader of the demons, and...he was Nolan's best friend in life."
Nolan banged his fist on the table next to him. "I should have killed him!" I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him, stroking his hair.
"It's okay Nolan, calm down..." His breathing steadied as I held him.
"Guys... What are we going to do?"
"I just don't understand..." Adri sobbed. "How could he go with him? He killed us!!"
"Maybe he doesn't remember that." All three of us looked up at Liliana, silent question marks on our faces. "Maybe he only brought back some of his memories, and twisted them to make Caleb evil."
Nolan, still pissed off, said, "That does sound like something he'd do."
Adri suddenly perked up, with a hopeful smile on her face. "Well that's great! That means all we have to do is make him remember everything!" All three of us were silent.
"That might not be as easy as it sounds," I said.
"Remember, Adri," Liliana said. "You're human. You can't just pray for it." She sighed. "And even if you could, he's already there."
"Which means he has to make the change on his own," Nolan muttered.
"No..." Adri's crying resumed. "Caleb..."
"Hey," Liliana gave her a small smile. "It's okay. We'll find a way. You and me!"
"And Ai and Nolan," Adri said, looking at me. I gave her a sorrowful look.
"Actually, no..." I said. Nolan stood up and took my hand. "Heaven is in chaos without a leader. We have to go back."
"No..." Adri whispered. I hugged her.
"It's alright. Caleb loves you, they can't change that." I let go of her. I opened the door and Nolan and I stepped outside. "I know you can do it."
Liliana smiled. "Hey, I'm going to see you again, right?"
"Of course! We'll be waiting for you in Heaven."
"Well, let's hope you don't see me there soon," Liliana laughed. I laughed too.
"Yeah, live first. Then you can come."
Behind me, Nolan had been muttering a prayer. Magnificent, white feathered wings branched out from my and Nolan's back.
"Goodbye..." Adri whispered. And then we were gone.
Liliana looked at Nolan, his brown hair messed up and his eyes still a little hazy from sleeping. Then she looked at me, wearing a tiny white nightgown, my hair also messy. She raised her eyebrows at me and smiled out the corner of her mouth, void of all the panic she had just had. She turned her attention back to Nolan. "Wait, who are you?" She asked, still smirking.

~Chapter 14~
I have to find him. I have to get to him. Caleb! Caleb!!
Then I saw him. Caleb. My Caleb! My boyfriend, my husband, my king. Caleb! His silvery hair and his grey eyes, his tall stature, his muscular body, he looks exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. He's okay.
"Caleb!" I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank goodness you're alright, I just-" A shocked gasp escaped my lungs as I let go of Caleb and stepped back. His eyes. They're no longer warm and sensitive. They're cold. Scary. "You're not Caleb."
The cold eyes stung as they looked into me, through me. Right through me. "What are you talking about Adri?" He smiled, a sick mockery of his usually warm smile. "Of course it's me."
I shook my head. "No. I know Caleb. You're not him."
He smirked, an evil half-smile. "You don't know Caleb. You never knew Caleb. That sweet, romantic boyfriend wasn't me. This is."
"No!" Tears threatened at my eyes. "What have they done to you!?"
A voice, too familiar, incredibly terrifying, said, "Oh, I didn't do anything to him."
My breath caught as the figure stepped out of the shadows. The tall figure with eyes a deep, dark blue and jet black hair, wearing dark jeans and a black t-shirt.
"You..." I whispered. "Oh no," I looked back to Caleb. "Please-!"
"You can join us, Adriana," the man said. He held out his hand to me. "You want to be with your dear, sweet Caleb don't you?"
I looked at the hand in fear. A tiny part of my mind told me to take it, the part that wanted to be with Caleb no matter what that meant I had to do. But the rest of my mind knew this was not the way to go. "No... I won't." I gave Caleb a pleading look, and held my hand out to him. "Caleb... Please?"
He averted my eyes. "I think you should go now Adriana." The tears that had been threatening now surfaced. "Caleb..."
"Just go." I felt like a couldn't breathe. Air wouldn't get to my lungs. I took a wavering step back. Then another. One more, and then I turned around and ran as fast as I could away from there.
I have to get to Ai!
Then I saw him. Caleb. My Caleb! My boyfriend, my husband, my king. Caleb! His silvery hair and his grey eyes, his tall stature, his muscular body, he looks exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. He's okay.
"Caleb!" I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank goodness you're alright, I just-" A shocked gasp escaped my lungs as I let go of Caleb and stepped back. His eyes. They're no longer warm and sensitive. They're cold. Scary. "You're not Caleb."

"Just go." I felt like a couldn't breathe. Air wouldn't get to my lungs. I took a wavering step back. Then another. One more, and then I turned around and ran as fast as I could away from there.
I have to get to Ai!
~Chapter 13~
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!"
"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.

"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!!!"

Intermission
Hi anyone who's actually been reading this. I'm sorry I haven't been putting things up as much as usual. I'm going to try to fix that. I'm taking kinda hard courses this year that are giving me so much homework I'm barely able to get my computer out anymore :( which is extremely depressing, I'm like addicted to this thing. Anyways, to make it up to you, I'm going to put up two chapters really close to each other :D I hope you can forgive me, I'm really sorry :(
