Piercing Chill
Epilogue

I woke up to beeping sounds. My eyelids felt heavy to lift, my mouth wasdry and someone was holding my hand. Some part of me hoped that it was Jason.However, I was disappointed to see that my theory was wrong. I met my mother’ssmiling face. Still, I was happy to see my mother. However, she looked palerthan usual and she looked like she had not slept for days.

“Good morning honey,” She whispered with a shaky smile and a tearfalling on her cheek. “I’m so glad you’re awake.”

“Where is Jason?” was the first thing that came out of my mouth. Myvoice was dry and raspy.

“He went home.” Mum said helping me to sit up on the bed.

“What do you mean he went home?” I questioned taking a sip of water fromthe cup mum handed me.

Mum sighed before continuing, “After everything, your father came tolook for you. He thought you were dead.” Mum sobbed. “You lay motionless nextto Jason. He got the other angels to bring you back home. Jason was taken byhis people. Your father thought it is best if Jason to stay away from your lifefor a little while.”

“What? Why?” I questioned on the verge of tears.

“Calm down honey. It’s for the best.”

“What do you mean? I have to talk to him.” I proclaimed lifting thesheet off my body.

I was shocked at the sight. I had no wounds or scars left on me. Iscanned every inch of my body for the second time and still there were nowounds. This made me scan my surroundings. I was at home, in my room. Thebeeping noises were coming from outside. I turned my head towards my mum. Ithen remembered that Jason gave me his blood to heal. But that was beforetiredness claimed me.

“You’ve to be protected my love.” Mum whispered next to me. “You aren’t properlytrained and your body is not used to the power you have.” I turned to face herfuming.

“What do you have to protect me from? Craig will not be coming back forme ever again.”

“I know. However, there will always be someone trying to get rid ofyou.” Mum spoke as a matter-of-fact. She continued “Your father and Jason werenot the only ones lying to you.” She paused before continuing, “I am what youcall a Nephilim – half-angel. I was lucky to possess both human and angelicgifts. Hence why I can be manipulated easily.”

“No way.” I replied not wantingto believe the revelation that was made before me.

“That’s not important right now. As I said before, you must beprotected. A child conceived from a Nephilim and an angel is more powerful thananyone especially when they become aware of their own powers.” Mum continued,“People are going to be hunting for you. It is important that we get you toproperly train and master your powers before you become harmed.”

I struggled with the news. I slowly made my way towards the window. Inthe drive way was a truck with ‘Amoris movers’ written on it. Horror filled me.“We are moving right now?”

Mum looked at me and simply nodded before walking out of the room.

I guess a new life in a new place would do me some good. I thoughtbefore making my way downstairs.
