This is our time

No turning back

We could live, we could live like legends

★†★

Oh shoot... The gang is here.

I still don't know who pushed me or called The Sisters of the Dark back. Sebastian, George, The Sisters and A guard are standing facing me. Sebastian and George are holding their neck glaring at me, I guess I did wonders with them with the ravens.

"You have the nerve, Camille. Just look at it this way, we are all playing poker and I have got the wild card," He says in a raspy voice.

"Not if I have something against it," A familiar voice replies behind them. My lips curl up in a smile as soon as I hear the voice.

George and Sebastian turns back to see my squad standing alive, even Damien is okay, his face is clean of bruise.

You are all screwed now! I thought to myself.

George turns to me and glare. "Well there is that," He smirks and whispers. "Go."

I feel a hand wrap around my neck, but there is no one in front of me, I try to touch it but my hand is aggressively slammed against the wall. I start sliding up the wall with my back still pressed to it.

I look down to see Dean and George facing each other. Nate picks the guard. Jessica faces Sebastian, leaving Damien with the sisters.

Well, that's strange. There is someone else, a black shadow standing and looking at me, I can't see his face because he is putting on a cloak which is also prevent me from seeing is face.

I struggle with my hand but it won't bulge, I know he is the one behind my choking.

The markings are still on my body even though am not using my powers. I press my hand on the wall and close my eyes, whispering my mantra. "Lurytendra Azar Bycom."

I notice that am holding the Elsword which allow me to move my hand and seperate the connection the cloak guy has on me by just swinging the Sword in the way that looks like I am cutting something go.

I lose my balance immediately and land on my feet that is definitely going to hurt later.

The shadow guys is not impressed with me. The next thing I know is him moving really fast and punching me which pushes me outside, literally the force of the punch breaks the wall.

I cough and groan. "Something is definitely broken," I manage to say as he pulls me up in the air and throw me away, sending me flying in air.

I wince as my back connect with the tree and I fall on my face, this is giving me a deja Vu of when Lady Treta caught me off guard and attacked me.

Am not caught off guard now.

"You can do this Camille, stand up and fight," I hear Damien's voice inside my head.

I sigh and stand on my feet and hold the Elsword. The shadow guy charge at me, I use my sword to block him but then I realized that he is holding a similar sword, which can only means one thing.

"Eric," I whisper.

He doesn't seem too fond of the name as he swings his sword at me, I use mine to block it. "Eric!" I call and step away from me. "Listen to me, pleas-" He charge at me.

Not much of a talker huh?

I decide not to talk and just defend myself. He tries to impale me but I stop him, punching his gut in the process. I swear I hear him growl and take a step backward.

I smile. "Okay... Thank you, Now! You lis-" I cut myself when I notice that he is now holding two swords.

Guess he is not surrendering.

I look down at my own sword and look at him holding two swords. I shake my head. "He is definitely going to kill me," I whispers as he charge at me.

He goes for my head, I push that away. Am not even fight him, am just defending myself, am not even trying to fight but he is going to kill me.

"Argh!" I groan as my head connect to the floor. Where the fuck are they? What's keeping them so long?

I snap out of my thoughts when he lifts my upper body from the ground. I did not see that punch coming only felt the pain after his hand connect with my jaw.

The Elsword is back in my body.

He repeats the sequence. Lift my upper body from the ground and punch me back down.

I block out the pain and remind myself of my true existence. What am I fight for? Am fight for my family, my friend, Corinne, Richard and Roman, am fight for my freedom, am fight for myself.

Don't let anyone tell you or convince you that you are not worthy," He shifts his position, turning his body to face me. "A time will come when you will doubt yourself but I want you to remember you are different, you are different from all of us and that is exactly what makes you worthy," He takes my hand in his and stares at me as he says it.

He smiles sadly. "When the time comes just trust and follow your heart."

I open my eyes and push him away with my hand. I cough and get up from the fall, I ache all over and am sore.

With half of my strength gone, I manage to keep my swollen eyes open to see the burning raven mark on my hand. I feel something strange on my neck, I look down to see my R necklace glowing.

"Camille," Dean calls from afar, I look ahead to see him and the other outside. George and Sebastian are with them.

I feel my body glowing, the markings are giving me a darkish orange glow. "Am changing, am evolving," I whisper with a smile on my face.

"Camille, watch out!" Jessica screams before I can react, the shadow guy's hand in already wrapped around my neck, not hurt me but keeping me in place.

I still can't see his face but his head is bow to my chest, his hand reaches to touch the necklace. Without giving me time to adjust he pulls me forward and presses his forehead to mine.

I gasp as I transport into his head.

Eric and Dean are standing together inside a room I do not recognize, Eric is sitting on a sofa smiling at his hand while Dean is standing behind him scowling.

"You haven't stopped staring at that necklace since you got it," Dean complains.

Eric rolls his eyes and smiles. "Sabine will soon give birth to our daughter and am happy, am very happy," He says in cheerful and excited tone.

This Eric doesn't look like the one am fight or the one changed to the wall, he looks like the one smiling in the garden with the love of his life, he looks full of life and hope.

"I am very happy for you and Sabine," He says with sincerity but hesitate to continue.

Eric caught this and turns back to Dean, he raises his eyebrows in question when he notices Dean's worried expression. "Share your burdens with me Gar-El."

Dean looks down and sighs. "I fear for you, Sabine and El-Sah-El. Sabine's father loathe you, he almost killed Sabine, he has people around looking for you. El-Noh-El please, I beseech you, let's all go back to Di Hipsodat. El will accept Sabine."

Eric licks his lips. "Am not afraid of El, my father isn't DiHipian, there is no way she won't accept Sabine. I worry for her health, Sabine won't survive the birth in Di Hipsodat because of the change of environment, you of all people know this."

Dean nods. "I know but Earth is a dangerous place," He reminds.

"I know that why we are going to Di Hipsodat as soon as she gives birth," He says, Dean takes a deep breath. "I promise."

"I do not doubt your word my liege but I doubt the humans intention," Dean says.

"The both of us cannot be killed but I can be manipulated, you can't except if they have a Sage which they don't. Promise me that you will take care of my daughter," He whispers and the pain is visible in his eyes.

"I will die before anything happens to her," Dean promises.

Eric smiles. "Good. You asked why I had this made for her, my daughter is a raven and also human, the human part of her will be vulnerable to her demon side, the necklace will sync both her human and demon side," He explains and process to talk without giving Dean to ask anything. "How's your son?"

"He doing well El-Noh-El, he cannot wait to meet her," He mentions.

Eric laughs. "I won't be surprised if the both of them end up becoming mates, the only time Sabine feels peace our daughter when am not around is whenever he is around her."

"Sense of duty, inherit it from me," Dean's trying to be modest.

Eric just shrugs. "It's more than that I assure you, and he is not like you because you are deity and he is warrior."

Eric smiles at necklace.

I smile sadly and close my eyes. I open my eyes to another scenario. We are inside an abandoned building, the only abandoned building I know and recognize well.

Sabine is holding a baby in her hand while Eric's head is on her lap disintegrating. "I love you, Raven," He whispers clutching the baby's tiny hand like his life depend on it.

Tears rolling down my cheek as I open my eyes and realize that I didn't see everything that happened but somehow they are in my head and I remember everything from before Dean asked Richard to take care of me.

I remember what happened right before Eric found his way on Sabine's lap. George and the remaining of his cult was going to kill me and use me as a ritual, they would have until Eric came to rescue me, they made him watch as they almost killed me, they knew fire was his weakness, they used fire to defeat him.

Am not totally sure how he found his way to George and the only person that can tell me is George himself.

Eric gasps as his body forms from the shadow, he opens his green eyes and stares at me. He takes my hand in his and bring us down.

Walking down memory lane makes me fly and Eric is my father which means he can fly to.

When we reach the ground, am not sure how to start the conversation. "Give me a minute, will you," He moves away really fast I can't even point him out.

He appears in front of George who is somehow still alive. "What did you do to me?" He demands.

George shrugs. "Nothing much, I stole your ashes and ressurected you, things about bringing back a body of your kind is that you return without a soul, which made it easier to turn you into my personal killing machine, sounds good though because I-" Eric didn't let him finish as he rips his heart out, literally ripped his heart out.

He shift to Sebastian and snap his head.

I watch has their bodies lands on the floor. Wow, it's really over.

I walk slowly to them, Jessica runs straight to me and jump on me. "Oh my God! Camille, I am so sorry I left you alone, you have no idea how-" Nate cut her off.

"Hey there, hot cheeks, nice tattoo."

I smile and hug the both of them. I look ahead to see Damien staring at me, Dean and Eric are having a moment.

I still can't believe my father is alive. "What about my Mom?" I question no on in particular.

"Right here sweet girl," A small voice says behind me, I turn my back to see Sabine standing alive behind me, only she looks really tired and stressful.

As I take a step to run to her I realize Eric is already standing in front of her with his forehead place on hers. I smile.

★†★

Everything suddenly feels boring, no puzzle to solve, no looking over my shoulder, no trouble. I miss being paranoid.

Dean's got Eric and Sabine a nice room, Sabine is currently receiving treatment, Dean thinks I should talk to them, I know I should but I'm not ready.

I just want to be happy that everything is finally over.

Jessica and Nate are cuddling on the couch behind me their faces glued to the movie we are seeing.

I take a deep breath and stand up from the sofa. "I'm going to the kitchen," I Announce. "Do you guys need anything?" I ask.

"More popcorns and Coke, please. You are the best," Jessica says and I smile.

I step into the kitchen and yelp when see Damien leaning against the kitchen island drinking water. "You scared me," I tell him when I notice him eyeing me. "I thought you were gone," I say as I tuck my hair behind me ear.

He frowns. "Gone where?"

I shrug. "I don't know, wherever you disappear to," I reply casually as I open the fridge.

"You should talk to them," He advise me.

"I will, I'm not ready to face them...yet," I tell him.

He nods and says. "Good job today, you should get some rest before this place get crowded again," He places his cup on the island and put his hands in pocket and walks out of the kitchen after saying. "You've been through a lot, you should talk to someone."

Too much death...
