~~Rose~~

I let Week's words ring in my head as I walked back into my room. I touched people. I was important.

I flinched at the thought. So much for helping people with music if I can't even help myself anymore...

A single tear slipped down my cheek as I slid into the room and shut the door behind me.

I'm broken. I'm not important. No one will want me once they know...

A silent cry slipped out. Zayn broke me. Zayn hurt me.

Zayn raped me.

A sob broke out once the words were in my mind.

"Zayn raped me.." I cried into the silent room, wishing someone could hear me, wishing someone would come listen to me cry and tell my truth.

But no one came.

No one could hear me screaming, not even as I drowned in the self-hate or the realization I was truly unfixable.

Suddenly, anger filled my body. Zayn did this. Zayn ruined me. Zayn raped me.

I need to ruin him back for what he did to me.

~~~~~~~~

I sat quietly in my large bathroom with my head resting on the tub, watching blood flow out of my wrist and pool on the white rug in front of it. And I waited.

For something.

For anything.

Yet, the blood didn't magically reenter my skin like it used to, instead it continued flowing.

Zayn really is keeping me from healing this time.

Maybe I'd bleed out. Maybe if I did, the pain would go away.

Maybe he would stop hurting me, but I knew even if this body died, Michael had the power to put me into another angel vessel.

I was trapped until I had a baby that would be Michael's new heir. They wanted a boy.

If my first premonition was to be believed, it was going to be a baby girl.

~~~~~~~~~

I wrapped my sliced up in clean bandages and watched the blood start to bleed through as I did. I didn't know how long I had been watching my arm bleed, but I knew I needed to stop the bleeding so she would be okay. My baby.

Her name was going to be Mauraline.

~~Week~~

I sat at the house in Asladon and watched more roses start to bloom in her field. If they kept up like this, they would soon overtake the house.

'Good,' I thought, 'Destroy it along with all the memories.'

A smirk grew on my lips before my thoughts came back.

'Why did I sense Levi in that field with us? There was no way he could have been here, I'm the only one left who is able to open the portal to this place, and I made sure no one had followed us, so how did he do that?'

I shivered before I recognized something. Levi had a different aura at home and I can never tell if it's him because I don't recognize it. Yet, I was able to tell it was him without having to strain myself to figure it out.

'My aura manipulation should be able to pick his up without strain, no matter who it is. The only way that would be possible is if-'

I stood up quickly and ran towards the opening in the trees, where I willed the portal back to the castle to appear. Without her truly telling me, Grace gave me the answer.

She would send me on errands late at night, and it would take me past Rose's room where he was either walking in or out of there.

She asked to see him the other night.

She had me train my aura manipulation so I could tell if someone's aura was being blocked.

Trained so I could sense someone who's essence is in a place, but their body is not.

She told me something had happened to her.

She was always asking me to be by her side when she was upset or hurting because she knew.

She gave me the answer through clues because she knew.

She knew I would figure it out. That Levi wasn't in fact Levi, but it was someone from the Heaven kingdom, the one person who's aura manipulation mirrored my own.

It has been Zayn all along. He had been here torturing Rose, and Grace couldn't interfere with what she had seen, nor could she tell someone straight on.

But she had told me because she knew I could be the only person to figure it out.

I burst into the house and down the hall to Rose's room, where I quietly opened the door, trying to not alert whoever was in here.

Only Rose was in her room, silently sleeping.

I shut the door quietly and walked down the hall a bit farther and noticed the door to Levi's room had been left slightly open.

I pushed it open and stared at the room before me. The bedspread on it was black with white and silver branches from the bottom. His walls were paint splattered in multicolored paint. HIs bathroom light was off and his dark wood stained dresser was open with clothes scattered around the room. The curtains were white and were blowing in the soft breeze of the open balcony doors.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~Levi~~

I opened my eyes into the dark room surrounding me. It was cold and I suddenly wished that Rose was there with me.

I stood up and heard voices outside in the hallway. I crept up to the door and placed my ear to it. Pacing sounded outside.

"It's been done, sir," the first voice rang out.

"Good job, Zayn. How long is expected before he is born?" the second rang out, and I immediately recognized it as my tormentor.

"That's the problem, sir. It's a girl."

The pacing ceased. I heard a sigh outside.

"Then it cannot be helped, the baby girl is expected when?"

"Soon. An angel child is normally born in about five months, but a demon child is born within two. It will depend on which of these sides of her are stronger and more prevalent."

I stopped my gasp just before it happened and tugged at the bond tying me to Rose before I climbed back into my bed before slipping into the dreamscape.
