Forever Changed

chapter 32



Julie and my mother stood close behind us. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked Julie while standing up, feeling hurt.

“Because Elizabeth, I was your protector. I looked after you and when I felt that you guys were preparing. I started preparing as well. Your mother and I have been trying to help change your father for years. We were trying to help break the curse and we knew you could break it!” Julie said wearing her long flowing white dress. Her white feathery wings were still extending out from her body and she was absolutely gorgeous.

“So I am half demon and half Angel?” I asked in awe and a little shocked.

“Yes, Elizabeth, you are.” She said with a grin.

“So, then why was I lied to about my mother being a witch?” I asked.

“Your father told you that because he knew that you wouldn’t believe you were an Angel. You didn’t bring him back from the Underworld, from just summoning him, but you brought him back with your faith. You defeated the Dark Lord as well with that same faith that has now made your family whole.” Julie was intrigued with all my questions.

“I understand I really do. Thank you so much for believing in me and helping me figure out who I was.”

We stood together now watching our mansion burn. A mansion that was built because of the deal, that my long time ago great grandfather, made with the devil. The curse that he bestowed on our family, in the 1800s, had indeed been broken.

I looked over at Julie, but she was nowhere to be seen. She had disappeared into thin air. I instead turn to face my mother.

“Will this mean that because I killed Lucas that I am truly a demon? And will I always have to look over my shoulder, waiting for someone to steal my powers?”

My mother stood contemplating for a few minutes. “You are more demon, then you are Angel, Elizabeth, but you do have that extra power to ward off your enemies. You need to use it for good not bad. I know you will make us proud regardless.

“They will hunt you though because the demon powers you possess are extremely strong. Most know that if they can get it then they will be undefeatable. However, they were not banking on you knowing how to use your light of good doings.” My mother looked past me as tears formed in her eyes.

She watched as our home went up in flames. I looked at my father whom was crying silently and asked him, “Are you ok?”

My father looked at me with the most brilliant smile on his face! “Yes, yes I am. We can finally live the life that I have always dreamed of and not in that damned house, being a product of a curse.”

He engulfed me in a hug and we stood there and watched it burn. My car, our possessions, everything we owned, was dying in the fire that blazed before us. I was not sad though and I knew we would be ok.

I noticed something then, falling out of the sky. I watched as it fluttered to the ground and I slowly walked over and picked it up.

Landon was behind me, “What is that?”

I picked it up and looked at it as my smile grew wider. “Well, it is the picture of us from where we were waiting for it to dry.” I said. I held it out to him and he gasped.

“Elizabeth, this picture was taking the night of us on our date, why is it that your belly is huge?” He looked up at me and I knew exactly what he was talking about. The picture was not of just him and me, but it showed that my belly was huge and two sets of small hands could be seen through the shirt I was wearing.

“Do you think?” He asked getting excited.

“I have no idea, but we will soon find out.” I jumped in his arms and wrapped my legs around him. We danced around the yard laughing and my parents joined in. We could hear the sirens in the distance, but we didn’t stop!

In that moment I knew once more I had changed. I changed into a whole different person. My family was my life and

I had a gut feeling that our family was about to grow even bigger. My life as I knew it would be forever changed!

Oh no, wait, I said that all wrong. Let me try that again.

My life as I knew it would be forever changed, ummmm……again!
