Sleepless Nights

I will bring you back

Crystal let out a blood curdling scream and woke up looking around thinking to herself it was only a dream (wait that was a vision) then why am I here in this house in this room......Getting out of bed Alexander walked in saying," Oh good you’re awake." She looked at him saying How long have I been out? He answered; you have been in a coma for almost 4 months...... She shakes her head and said we have less than 1 weeks to kill Dane and I know how to do it.......

Wait Ambrosio is coming open the door....

Alexander went to the door and opened it just before Ambrosio knocked on the door......

Alexander looked at crystal and said," How did you know he was coming to the door?" She answered, I had a premonition of want is going to happen for the next 24 hours....we need to change that future how old are my girls right now Ambrosio? Answering they are almost 18 years old it seems they will be 18 tomorrow.

Crystal looks at Ambrosio shocked and said Dane will be here in 10 minutes he will try to kill you again......

Turning to Alexander you must step in front of Dane's fire bolt to show him what will happen if he tries to kill you or Ambrosio......

Alexander said, "Why?"

She answered you are connected if you die, he dies, and I know he is not ready to die. He thinks he will gain enough powers to kill Ambrosio.... I am going to stay up here and wait because if I go down there, he will kill me and take my powers including the two Ambrosio gave me...... Then there is no way to stop him and Alexander (grabbing his arm) she said, He has your mother and is torturing her for information she has maybe a few days...... Alexander you will see what he is doing to her but please do not go after him....... we must find Greggory and soon before Dane kills him because we need him to resurrect his sister......

Suddenly there was a scream from downstairs...... Ambrosio ran out the room and Alexander was right after him.

Crystal was listening to Dane and heard a big crash and knew Alexander was down sending a message to Ambrosio saying heal him or he will die we need to keep Alexander alive because I have to be touching Dane well he is receiving your powers, Septoria’s Micheal's Matthew's, Christopher's and the girls and Alana’s powers to over load him and when he is almost dead I will need to touch Alexander to keep him alive until Dane's life sources is completely gone.... So, Dane does not come back when Alexander becomes alive again…

(Ambrosio answers back how did you know all of this and yes Alexander is down, and Dane is gone so come down here so we can talk.)

As Crystal walked down the stairs to the Kitchen she had a vision of a building that looked like the same building she found Dane in the first time they met, and there was a figure in the upstairs windows waving to her to come in and as she moved closer she realized it was her mother but her mother has been dead for 10 years.

Crystal yells out into her vision who are you?

What do you want? but the figure in the window said nothing and did nothing.

As she got closer to the house, she felt like she had been there before and the figure flashed in front of her saying, DO NOT trust Alana.

She is evil; she is the one that killed your grandmother and is controlling Dane.

Then Crystal’s vision left her, and she was standing in front of everyone shocked and sweating, and feeling faint but just before Crystal fainted, she said I had a vision and passed out hitting the floor with a loud thud. Again, as Crystal laid on the floor, she received another vision.

The vision was of a beautiful house on the out skirts of town with a cemetery behind it the vision pushed out to the town the name was Silverton, Washington. Coming out of the second vision and waking up saying I know where Greggory lives, then another vision came fast and demanding, making her feel sick and needing to sit down.

Crystal screamed with her eyes rolling in the back of her head, trying to breathe, finally taking a breath after a few seconds, she said; “He’s coming back!” we must go, NOW! We must go to Washington. He will be here in less than 2 minutes grabbing Alexander’s hand. She said everyone link hands and think Silverton, Washington state as Alexander reached out and took Ayla’s hand and Crystal took Mardi’s once in a circle. Crystal turned on the spot and teleported everyone just before the mansion’s doors blasted open. Crystal could still hear Dane’s screams as everyone appeared in front of Greggory’s house not knowing if he was home or not.

Crystal turned as she felt a chill down her spine. It was Greggory with an AR-15 rifle pointed at them saying get off my property; he realized who they were, he lowered the gun and went to them saying,” I knew you were coming Alana’s ghost told me.” See I am also a witch non-practitioner, but I still see my sister’s ghost and I know why you are here, but I do not know where Alana’s body is (short pause) a few days ago someone broke into the cemetery just behind the house and stole her body.

I think your Dane has people working for him.

Crystal felt another chill but this time it was Alana trying to speak to her. Crystal closed her eyes and saw a beautiful young woman standing before her. She reached out and spoke, “take my hand Alana and come in to view so everyone can see and hear you.”

So Alana grasps her hand and with a gentle shock, Crystal opened her eyes to find Alana standing in front of her and also saw the horrible truth about Alana, she was the Evil controlling Dane because of her past the death of her parents when she was 25, being r***d and the death of her first child when she was 16 years old which was the biggest part of the Evil within. As Greggory noticed he ran for her to hug but could not touch her because she was in corporeal from neither solid nor spirit.

Alana looked from Crystal to Greggory and then to Ambrosio and said,” So this woman is who we have been waiting for to resurrect me and my BODY IS GONE to who knows where and we have 3 days until the f*****g Solictice.”

Walking to him angrily and tries to slap him but her hand only goes through his face.

(Not feeling a thing) (Humph) “Fine! What do we do now?”

Alana said; still looking at Ambrosio. (Ambrosio raised his hands in surrender) and said, “I am not the ring-leader she is; (pointing at Crystal) Alana turned to see Crystal holding hands of her twins (Alana started to cry looking down at her stomach) and said (in a soft voice); Are they yours? Crystal answered, “Yes, they are mine and Danes’……. You probably know him by a different name (Alexander interrupted).

At the Alana looked at him (shocked and shaking) and started to back up then said (in a scream) you murderer, you liar, you soul sucking demon (lunging at him forgetting she could not slap anyone) she made contact with his face slapping him so hard (blood came out of his mouth) Crystal quickly got to Alexander to check his face and asked (harshly)

What do you think you are doing? This is not Dane, Alana look at his eyes, they are Hazel not green you just slapped an innocent man because he looks like your killer,…(Alana paused to look at his face again) Crystal asked, “ by the way how did you make a connection with his face when you could not with Ambrosio.

Alana answered; “I have no idea; I was just so angry and scared it just happened.”

Crystal asked do you think you can do it that, if you felt that way again or if you see Dane before we find your body.

With a kick of a rock Alana answered, “I think I can.”

With that Crystal stepped away from Alexander and said, “Let’s go find your body and kill this Son of a b***h (popping herself in the month) and said, “Sorry little ones.”

Looking at Ayla and Mardi, laughing you’re not so little anymore, more like young ladies now.

(WOW) How did I not notice you’ve grown so quickly?

(Now 18 years old with full powers and strength)

Ambrosio spoke up saying, “they will no longer grow they are at full maturity.” Ayla looks like Crystal but with hazel eyes like Alexander’s and Mardi looks like Dane but with blue eyes like Crystal’s. Both were mesmerizing with beauty and powerful auras.

Crystal walked away shaking her head (thinking) (this is crazy how am I going to trick Dane into following me and everyone else to bum f**k Alaska just so he could die and disappear for good, but first we need to find Alana’s body)

(Pacing back and forth)

Saying, where do you think your body might be Alana, you should be able to feel it or even pulled to it.

Out of nowhere there was a large cracking sound like a tree branch breaking everyone looked around seeing nothing then Alana started screaming yelling my bodies burning he is trying to burn my body. He knows you are trying to find my body, yaaaa no, (seeing burn holes in her arms and legs) how do we stop him it hurts so much.!!!

Crystal said, go to your body Alana and use your powers to stop him throw things at him, Dane should not be able to see you like we can because I brought you into the vision of my loved ones and yours and Dane is no longer a loved one.

Now go and we will follow somehow.

Asking Ambrosio, how do we follow Alana? He Answered I can place a tracker on her spirit to be able to follow her anywhere she goes.

Closing his eyes Ambrosio started to glow a bright green and black color opening his eyes saying it is done now go Alana.

With a flash she was gone. Everyone could feel the emptiness of her spirit after she left.

Breathing out Crystal said OK let’s go.

Looking at Ambrosio, she asked, how do I bring Alana back when I can’t touch her?

He only answered you will know when the time come Crystal, I cannot tell you how to use your powers, I can only guide you in using them. Just remember, do not touch anyone without those gloves on if you don’t want to kill them first.

Crystal asked, Now do I take the gloves off they are molded to my skin? He answered when the time is right you will be able to take them off anytime you want but right now, you are radiating an extreme amount of power taking them off right now will kill us all but once we give all our powers to Dane, we all will be mortal and dying except for you and Alexander,

Right then, is when you take off your gloves, they will loosen take the right hand off first that is the hand of death, then the left and you know what to do after that. Looking at Alexander saying, “You will feel all the powers within you, please I beg you, stay yourself after everything is over because we will have to take our powers back from you after Dane dies.” We must go I can’t see the tracker anymore; I think she is the cave about 50 miles east of here.

Greggory, do you know where those caves end?

Huh what I’m sorry Ambrosio, what did you say, said Greggory.

(He was staring at Ayla daydreaming of how she would feel to hug, kiss and hold after a long-heated night he just wants to pull her clothing off slowly revealing her skin to his hungry eyes kissing her shoulder to her neck to her month hearing her moan in his ear.) (Hell, his only 19 shaking his head)

Ambrosio said, “I said, do you know where the caves end that are 50 miles east of here?” He answered Yes, I know but they don’t end unless you want them to those caves are called the Caves of thee Enchanted. My sister and I use to play in them all the time when we were younger. “Why would she go there did she know something about the caves that no one else did? I just don’t understand.” Greggory added just to warn you, Crystal, if you don’t know where you are going or heading you will get lost and everything in the cave looks the same but also different so make sure you know where you are going. Crystal said, “That’s the bad thing we do not know where we are going, we are just following.” Well then, we will have to just trust my sister to guide us in the right direction. 20 minutes late in Greggory’s 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, everyone approached the cave, they found a bright light shining from the cave there was pink, blue, purple with gold inlay and black outlay throughout the stones and rocks on the face of the cave and mountain. Stepping out of the truck, the pure beauty of the rock and stone formation confounded, Crystal, and the light made her feel at peace, weak and out of control. Looking around she found that all the women were being pulled towards the light of the cave opening, if not for Alexander, Greggory and Ambrosio they would all be lost. All the women snapped out of it and the bright light went away leaving the cave dark and beautiful. Ambrosio noticed what the light was before everyone else saying, “that was the light of allure. It traps women and men. There is someone or something not wanting us to find Dane. We should not go in there.”

Crystal looks to Alexander and said look inside your brother and find where he is. Alexander closes his eyes to see Dane with Alana’s body and her ghost was saying I control you Dane even if you have my body you can’t control the most powerful evil of all time. To his surprise Alexander opened his eyes and said we can’t resurrect Alana. Grabbing Greggory’s hand saying you need to see this Alexander sent him the vision he had just seen. Greggory started crying saying, “How can this be that my sister could be evil she was always so kind to me ever got mad at me even when I broke her favorite doll or bowl that she had just made by hand she was always kind.”

Crystal walked up to Greggory giving him a hug of comfort just to be shocked by the vision Alexander had just shown him.

Letting go of him she said, “I know where they are, and we have to go into the cave to get there. Dane is being controlled by Alana that is why he is burning her body. She can’t come back (looking at Alexander) and I am sorry, but your brother must die as well, only to be reborn through Ayla. Everyone take each other’s hand and whatever you see or hear don’t let go or you will be lost forever.” Walking along the path towards the cave crystal heard a noise just inside that sounded like her little ones crying letting go of Alexander’s hand.

She realized she was tricked looking behind her to see if he was behind her but all she could see was stones and shadows willing herself to move forward to find her family she realized that if she stayed still they would possibly find her, as she induced a vision to Alexander, but instead she found herself in front of a house she hadn’t seen since she was a very young girl, the outside of the house was ruined with broken windows and walls it looked like no one has lived in it for years.

Walking to the house Crystal saw a figure in the window as she moved closer the figure disappeared only to appear right in front of her and the figure was her mother unable to speak her mother wrote in the air saying, “Crystal you must leave here, or you will die.”

Crystal answered, “What do you mean?”

Answering, “I mean little one is that you have already been in this cave for 3 hours and everyone is looking for you. I will guide you back, but you must leave and fast.”

Crystal started to cry saying, “I don’t want to leave, I have missed you so much.”

Answering, “You can resurrect me and your father because we never left you my sweet, the dream you had the night you found Dane bleeding all over the place was from us. Honey you must go now.”

The dream that crystal had was dying for an unknown force as she laid dying everything around her started dying as well the people, plants and animals “Mom I am so drained that I don’t want to leave, I want to stay here with you, I don’t care what happens to the world.”

What that Crystal’s mom answered, “If you stay here any longer you will die also, and nothing will be in existents. Let’s change the subject, what did you get for Valentine’s Day?

Crystal answered, “nothing mom, I was in a coma for almost 4 months.”

Sweetheart that was not a coma, you were in a physic trance. Once you came out of the trance you knew things that no one else did and if you focus on what is needed to be done baby girl nothing in this world can harm you, you have more power than you know. I should have told you years ago but your grandmother was a witch as well and before she died she passed her powers to you when you were in ureteral and I had your powers up to the day you were born and I promised that I would not tell you about your powers until you were ready but by that time you were already using them learning and becoming stronger every day. Honey all the powers you have been using are only the beginning of what you can really do. When I was pregnant with you, I was able to burn people that hurt me with my hands and had x-ray vision and I could catch a bullet with my hands and fly and to top it off I also had a protective shield. The day you were born, I could not have you in a hospital you came so quickly that I had you on my bed and you shined so bright that if you were born in the hospital the doctor would have thought you were an alien and try to send you off to some scientist for testing.

Crystal was shocked (standing there just staring at her mother).

The night we died Crystal we were going to tell you everything you needed to know. I am so sorry sweetie.

Crystal answers, “Its ok mom now I know, how do I tap into grandma’s powers?”

I don’t know for sure how to tap into her powers you might have to ask her in your dreams. How do I do that? Self-induced trance sleep, I used to do it all the time when I needed her help with something. What you need is lavender and dragon’s blood incenses and a calm place to lay down. Saying, Grandmother Help me I need your wisdom. You will need to say it at least 5 times. Well I had to for you maybe once or twice. She started walking away from Crystal saying, “Time to go follow me.”

Crystal yelled to her mother, “Where are we going, what is going on, you have not told me.”

You know where we’re going honey; you’re going back to your family. I don’t ignore my family like you are.

I am not ignoring just scared.

Then let’s go, you have a world to save and you can also save Alana’s Soul trust your powers and talk to Ambrosio about his sister Annabelle.

What her mother just said weighed heavy on Crystal’s mind.

As Crystal follows her mother’s ghost, she had a vision of the past, her grandmother was being attacked by Alana she was trying to steal her powers but was unable to for the simple fact that Crystal’s grandmother already transferred her powers to her daughter expect for three the power of invisibility, teleportation and duplication that very morning. I can’t believe Alana went back in time just to kill my grandmother. (Crystal Thought)

Before Alana was able to kill her, she duplicated herself and became invisible to watch Alana start the cabin on fire after strangling her duplication and disappeared making it look like an accident instead of arson. Just before Crystals grandmother teleported out of the cabin, she wrote on the cabin door in wiccan writing, this is a place of peace and serenity any who enter will find what they are looking for - blessed be.

At the bottom of the door it said to my granddaughter Crystal I give you the gift of knowledge and time - find me and bring me home.

(Alana was thinking I need to get Bettys daughters trust and kill her before she gives birth to receive all of the powers) there was only one problem Alana's husband would not let her because he knew that Crystals grandmother (Betty) was his grandfather's first wife and eternal soulmate before she became human and had fallen in love with a mortal even though she still had her immortal powers because once someone has power you can’t lose them unless you give them away selflessly or by a horrible death.

Once Crystal found the rest of her family, she asked Ambrosio… Ambrosio was my grandmother a goddess and your wife?

He answered, what was your grandmother's name?

Crystal answered Betty Ann Potter....

YES, Crystal your grandmother was my wife (with a sad lonely look on his face) but we never had any children and she was my first love and I will always love her (as he looked at Septoria saying I’m sorry I should have told you) Septoria just walked up to Ambrosio and said I already knew honey and I will not come between you and her when it comes time for you to be reunited which will be really soon I have already spoke to your sisters, They have said that I will not live through the night…

Right then Alexander asked Why did I not know that crystals grandmother was your wife?

How did she become human and why did she?

Ambrosio answered because my sisters the fate told us that a magical baby will come to pass through a goddess who became mortal and will fall in love with a mortal named Richard Franklin Potter. So, both myself and Crystal’s grandmother agreed that she would go to earth and find this Richard and watch over him for a time waiting for the goddess to reveal herself and for years she watched him only to realize that she was falling in love with him for his bravery, selflessness and compassion for others.

So, Crystal’s grandmother whom I knew as Rebecca give up her immortality and went back to earth changing her name to Betty and found Richard in a cafe just outside of Merritt Creek, Montana, before Betty introduced herself, she became a waitress in the cafe.

One day Richard walked into the cafe and saw her from the front door with her flowing brown hair and long legs he became entranced and introduced himself over time Betty and Richard fell in love and got married and had Crystal’s mother Angiala.

Ambrosio stopped talking he realized that he was being watched by everyone and that there were tears on his jacket.

He cleared his throat, wiped his eyes and jacket and said in a stern voice let’s get out of these caves and find Dane and Alana, and no more talk about the past she is gone and not coming back...

Crystal walked up to Ambrosio putting her hand on his arm and said don’t be so sure about that and walked away to find herself and everyone at the mouth of the cave overlooking a large field with a mansion on the other side and a cabin in the middle of the field surrounded by trees and a river flowing through the whole area.

As Crystal looked out, she could see that the sun was already going down and that they would have to wait until morning to find Dane and Alana.

She yells back to Alexander we will have to wait let’s get down to that cabin and get some sleep! As they walked down into the field Ambrosio had an eerie feeling that something had happened or was about to happen as he walked closer to the cabin, he had a vision of the past too horrifying to repeat to anyone else, yet he forced himself to repeat it to Crystal.

Crystal this is the same cabin your grandmother died in, I just watched it happen it was mortifying but what I don’t understand is why she didn’t defend herself.

Crystal answered with a cry in her voice, she had no powers she already transferred her powers to my mother and myself just hours before her death, my mother's ghost told me a short time ago when I was lost, she told me to contact my grandmother to learn how to tap into her powers. Walking closer to the cabin a bright light shown through the forest of trees. Ambrosio realized it was a spotlight and yelled scatter and hide in the shadows of the trees everyone…

Crystal get into the cabin now hurry, as they ran Ayla, Mardi and Greggory got separated from the group only to be captured by Dane and brought to the mansion being held in the dungeon, where nothing could be heard or survive for long.
