__________________________

It had been weird, taking off from Gaia and Aston, away from the drama in her family. Just having spend a few days alone with Ethan, they hadn't done that since December and that had only been because of Christmas. So, it had been nice for both of them. Elenora had realized there was a place she needed to go, and had booked a ticket to New Orleans. She had found some hotel where she could stay and then after dinner, she had made a trip down town to the streets she once had called home. Elenora took a deeper breath in and crossed her arms. Her heart felt heavy looking at the house, looking at the light inside the windows, the people who had bought the house from her in the beginning of the year. It seemed like ages ago and at the same time it felt just like Yesterday that she lost him. But looking inside seeing these people happy from where she stood, she could feel the positive energy from in there, hearing the sound of a child laughing from the open window. She folded her lips together and held her breath for a while, feeling her heart ache a little bit more.

She even felt the small drops of rain falling on her crossed arms. Elenora shook her head a little bit, maybe it had been stupid to just come here alone. It was weird standing here looking at something that didn't belong to her anymore. Elenora breathed out, coming to the conclusion that she needed a drink - and even though their usual place was just around the corner, she didn't fell like drowning herself in emotions that she couldn't control. So, better just go back to the hotel and empty the mini bar, right? Elenora stood still while discussing what to do, barely noticing how the sky threatened to open upon her and all the people walking around.

Completely lost in her own thoughts about where to go before the sky opened, she didn't even notice the approach till someone stood right next to her, the rain stopped dropping down on the arms and she took a deeper breath in looking a little up at the umbrella. Then she turned her head to the side, and looked at him. Her lips spread as if words were meant to come out, but she just took a deeper breath in. The sound of his voice, his voice. Elenora froze for a second, looking at him. Her sense to know when a supernatural creature was close by, and the angelic aura. "Archie..." Elenora could feel her eyes starting to water and her heart feeling heavy for a second. "Still is," she replied almost breathlessly, afraid to blink or even move her eyes away from him. Afraid that if she did, he would be done again. The last time she had looked into his eyes like this, was before she had taken him out of his pain. Her heart started to beat faster and faster, and she took a deeper breath in, fidgeting her fingers a little bit.

Then she dared to lift her left hand a little bit up, darling to let her finger tips trace over his cheek, as she needed confirmation of him being real. First as the finger tips met the flesh of his cheek, her tears blinked out from the eyes not able to hold the water back anymore. Elenora took a deeper breath in and folded her lips a little bit, licking them and then exhaled. "You - You are really here?" She asked almost in whisper, blinking another trail of tears out. Elenora couldn't believe it. Elenora feared that this small hope she had was an illusion, and if it hadn't been for the fact Azrael had taken every single trace of Calvin's powers out of her mind, she would have thought this was just a cruel trick. But he was standing right here, for her to reach, even if he was an angel, he was here. "Oh my god," she finally just broke down and let herself crash into his arms, wrapping herself close around him. Not wanting to let go, she closed her eyes, begging for whenever she opened them again that he still would be here. That was reality and not a trick, not a dream.  

Feeling his arms around her was like finally returning home, like finally feeling a sense of belonging again. She had been searching to find this ever since he had been gone, but with no luck, because no one compared, no one would ever be able to replace the love she felt for him. Hearing his whisper of saying he had missed her, she had missed him too, hardly believing that he was here right now. So, she opened her eyes shortly as he removed his hands from around her and, saw him briefly as his hands cupped her face. And if she had been in doubt before, all doubts were washed away as he kissed her. She closed her eyes, leaning into the feelings arising in her, and she didn't think twice before kissing him back. It was a feeling she never had thought she would feel again, complete. Tasting the salty tears from her eyes, as they traced down over their lips. But she just pulled him closer, not caring for the rain, for what people might think. It was just them. The two of them here.

First breaking their lips off in the need of air, still remain close to him. Not wanting to let go, still with her eyes closed for another moment. Then taking a deeper breath in opening her eyes again, looking into his eyes, moving her eyes to his lips shortly again, before looking into those beautiful hypnotic eyes of his. Placing her right hand on his chest before letting it snake up around his neck, not wanting to let go of him just yet. "I have missed you so much, every single day," she folded her lips a little bit, but couldn't help but smile at the fact that he was here. "I... I never stopped.. I never stopped loving you - I couldn't.. I wouldn't, I -" she broke herself off and just kissed him again.

Elenora felt his arms folded around her waist, pulling her up and they spun around in the rain. Their laugh broke off the kiss, and the rain kept on pouring down on them, as he placed her back down on her feet. Elenora looked up into her eyes, she couldn't believe this was happening he was back. She had gotten him back. He cupped her face once again, losing her eyes as she felt his forehead touch hers again. She only got to take a deeper breath in, as he said he loved her - and asked her to marry him. Elenora opened her eyes, and held her breath for a moment. "Yes," she finally breathed out, placing her hands on his chest only to move them up placing her hands on his cheeks. "Yes, I will marry you," she spoke almost breathlessly. Was it possible? That after all the torment and all the pain, that there was a chance of happiness. "I am yours. Always," she breathed out before once again placing her lips upon his, an even deeper kiss for just one more moment before breaking it off.

Reality kicked slightly in. There was so much he didn't know. First off all, the person who was the whole reason why she was here right now, Ethan had convinced her to go to Californien. There was the whole fact that she was adopted, and an archangel was her biological father. Not to mention everything Nigel was doing. So much catching up to do. "So, I guess now will be a good tim to invite you back to my hotel room?" She whispered a bit teasingly against his lips. Elenora wasn't going to waste another minute with him. But selfishly enough she therefor also just wanted him to herself for a few days before sharing him with anyone else. And hopefully he would return to Gaia with her, because despite the pain that place had cost her - there was so many people there she loved and cared for.

All that happiness rushing into her this moment was a treasure of everything she thought she would never feel again. Elenora laughed softly by his comment about not going up and tell the people who now lived in their house to get out. A part of her wished that they could do that, that she hadn't sold the house, but it was just too painful living there on her own. Elenora shook her head a little bit and rolled her eyes gently at him, still with a smile on her face that wasn't going to go away anytime soon. "Good, not that I would have given you much of a choice, so," she replied to his mumble about coming back with her. "It's not far, I picked the place closest by -" she replied before wrapping her arm around his lower back, to guide him towards the hotel she had picked out. Elenora was always very picky when it came to picking places she stayed at, unless it had been hunter related. But she wasn't really a fan of motels unless the reason behind staying there was worth it. It wasn't the most fancy place either, a hidden gem. And it did only take around eight minutes till they were inside again. Taking the elevator up to the second floor, and opened the door to the suite to let them inside. Their clothing soaking wet from standing out in the rain.

Elenora however could not anything but laugh and smile, because she was all over the moon happy right now. Because, never in her wildest dreams would she have expected for him to be granted a second chance and come back to her. And right now, she just wanted to live in that bobble of happiness, and the world could wait another minute. Right now, she just wanted to be with him.

So, you need to fill me in on what has been going on with you, she took a sharper breath in. What hadn't been going on with her. Elenora knew there was a lot of bad in her story, and a great deal of rage she had taken on by the pain. She knew it wouldn't surprise him, he had been the only thing holding her from not losing it completely on revenge mode after those vampires killed her mother and Frederik. So, it didn't take a lot to imagine how terrible it had been losing her anchor. It had taken a lot to even get to this point of sanity, but she had made it here. "Well, for starters, I found out that I was adopted. I have a twin brother, Ethan, he is the whole reason why I am on this trip," she informed him knowing that was a lot on its own. Well, she had gotten used to it by now, and it wasn't the largest pill to swallow. "Met my biological father as well," she added on her next exhale moving closer to him. She used her powers to heat their clothe so it dried, while looking at him.

"I lost myself along the way, and it took sometime, and finding out Frederik wasn't dead did help a little bit," she licked her lips a bit still not taking her eyes of Archie. Already by now that had just been last year, beginning to explain what had been going on this year so far. "I had a crappy experience back in February, but I through it, he doesn't know it yet, but Nigel did help me a lot with it," she took a deeper breath in. Then, telling everything about how her father had been back in town, Griffin being alive as well. "It's been one hell of a year," she sighed a bit. "But would you believe, Nigel has renovated an entire house. He lives there with Ella, and his daughters whenever they want to stay over," she wanted Archie to notice the plural. "Oh yeah, and he lives there with his girlfriend as well. See, you've just been missing out on all the tea," she chuckled a bit, before placing a quick kiss on his lips again. Elenora knew she had bombed him with information, now that she realized it she didn't even know how she had held onto all that information. Even some of it wasn't really detailed, and some things could wait a little bit. She felt like she had come around the most important things. "That was the somewhat crazy tale of what has been going on while you have been gone," she whispered against his lips. "What ever happens next, I plan do experience it with you by my side."

She took a deeper breath in and nodded to his whisper. "They found Madelaine - or Maya as she is called now - but they found her," Elenora smiled. It was good news. There were good news in all the bad stuff, even more now that she actually realized it as she spoke of it. Odd, how you so quickly could end up only focusing on the bad stuff. "Yeah I know, I just don't get tired of saying that," she replied in a low whisper against his lip just before she felt them against hers again. She had missed the taste of his lips so badly, missed the touch, in general just missed him so much. She was home now, he was home now. "Is it selfish of me to just want you for myself for a while?" She asked as she unlocked their lips, still standing close to him.

There was of course the question on how long he had been back, how long had he walked on Earth and not returned. Honestly, Elenora wished she could say she blamed him for not returning back as soon as possible, what they had endured - no one deserved that. So, it didn't matter how much time he had needed, what mattered to her was that he was here with her now. And she would bend both Heaven and Hell before letting anyone try tear them apart again. She was going to marry him, he was going to be her husband even after all of this, and there was nothing that could ruin that happiness that empowered her right in this moment. "I love you so, so much," Elenora whispered against his lips still.

They were going to be alright. She had to believe in that, even through the fear of her suddenly looking away and he would be gone, still roamed over her. He was an angel now, which gave her a bit more hope than she ever would have thought by that. Because, since she was so strongly connected to the angels and Heaven, she didn't fear it one bit. She would find him. "Sounds like a good idea," she chuckled a bit as he reminded her that they were on the way to the hotel room. She completely had lost her sense of the world around them just by being close to him again. It felt so natural to just be around him again, and she had been lost for so long, but now she was found. Elenora walked down the hallways, picking up her keycard from the purse she had hanging over her shoulder. Unlocking the door, and letting them into her suite. They could return home later. Others could know later, right now she just wanted to be with him. She had been without him for long enough. Once they were inside the hotel room, she closed the door, and placed her purse on the small counter close by, then looking over at him again. "Say hello to your home for the next couple of days," she looked around shortly. It was an okay large suite either way, like an apartment, with both a large bed, dinner table, small kitchen, tv and a large bathroom.

Elenora stille didn't take her eyes off him for long. The missing piece she had lost was now found, and she didn't feel so broken anymore, not looking at him. Being here inside these four walls with him again, she once again kissed him, placing her hand on the back of his head, letting the other arm snake over his shoulders. There was so much history between them, he knew her, still after just some time apart, she just craved his closeness.

She wasn't where what would happen next, and for this moment, right now, she didn't care. Elenora wanted whatever time she had with him, to be close to him, to not leave his side. There was so much under the surface waiting to tumble with them, but not now, she wouldn't allow it. Elenora had almost forgotten till tonight, how it felt like kissing his lips, almost forgotten how his hands felt when holding her. It was a feeling she had thought she had lost sense off forever, but here they were, and the way he grabbed her hips and pulled her closer made up for the lost time. It was the most natural thing as he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Her lips never really wanting to leave his. The fear shivered down her spine, even through she tried to keep it away, but if you once had lost someone, did the fear of losing them again really go away? As they fell onto the bed, all her worries got pushed away, and a small soft laugh escaped her lips, as they unlocked from the kiss.

Her hands tracing over his face, opening her eyes to take him in one more time. He was still here, making her breath a little more relieved out. He was here, healing the heart that had left the demon nest broken and bruised. Elenora had felt utterly broken, like nothing in the world could put her back together, even just poured her heart out to Nigel about that days ago. But here she was, feeling anything but broken, just thankful. "I'm so happy you are here," she whispered underneath her breath, letting her eyes look over his face taking every single thing about him in, how the shadows danced over his face from the lamppost lights outside trying to light up a bit of the darkened room. It wasn't like she wanted to cry, but her eyes were still wet from the joy she felt of having him right here in front of her.

She felt so utterly grateful in this very moment, it was rare, getting a chance to be with the person you loved most in this entire world. Once you felt like you had lost your entire world, and suddenly having it in your hands again, there was no way she was ever going to let it slip away again. Not now, not ever. To think if she hadn't let both Ethan and Nigel convince her that she needed to get out of town for a while, if she had remained equally stubborn and had stayed back, she wouldn't have been feeling this feeling of being whole again. She blinked a small tear out, as he kissed her nose and her lips pulled up in slightly warmer smile. Elenora was filled up with emotions, but it had always been around Archie that she felt like she didn't have to keep up any guard. She was safe to feel however she must be feeling, and both of them being filled up with any sort of emotion would be understanding. No one deserved what they had been pulled through. Elenora had no idea how the process to become a reborn angel was, and right now she didn't want to think about it, like she didn't want to think about the mess she had been after she had escaped the demons. Everything she had done, and how much of herself she had lost. In this moment, as he kissed her forehead and she closed her tear-filled eyes, she felt like she was found again. Elenora took a sharper breath in," yeah, me too," she exhaled and licked her lips a little bit. She hated the what if's, if she hadn't come here tonight, and she hated her mind for running wild by the thought.

Just feeling the hand on her cheek, pulling her into a tender kiss, she kissed him back leaning closer to him, while her hand ran down his back, keeping him close to her. Elenora felt like both they had the entire time in the whole world, and yet, she felt like at any second someone would come by and try take him from her again. Every little second she had with him was worth more than anything else, and she begged, oh she begged, that the world wasn't going to take him again. It would be too cruel. She had thirsted after the touch of his hands on her skin, but it was also right here in his hand she felt safe. She would always feel safe in his hands. It had been so cold and dark without him, and like nothing could go own. She had felt weak. But right here in this moment despite the night sky had taken over, she had never felt more empowered by the joy she felt right now by having him here. She deepened the kiss even more as she lifted herself up and rolled on top of him with her legs on each side of him, hovering over him. Each kiss as if she was scared never being able to kiss his lips again, but who could blame her, you never really knew.

The things she wouldn’t do to make sure this lasted forever, that each kiss wasn’t the last. If it hadn’t been for the knowledge of her biological family, knowing what power they had and what perhaps could be possible, she would have been even more terrified of losing him. Because she knew, she wasn’t going to lose him. She wasn’t, that was one thing she was sure about in this moment. And as his hands travelled over her body, she let go of her fears and thoughts, while letting herself completely fall into the moment. Being with him again. Letting him reposition them, turning them around and feeling the mattress meeting her back, still with her lips against his. Feeling his hands around the back of her head, pulling her closer. She needed him close, almost as much as she needed to oxygen to breathe. Hearing the whisper of his voice saying he had missed her; she had missed him more than anything. How did you function when you lost your favourite person in the entire world? Because he was her person, her best friend.  To describe the happiness that filled her up in the moment was impossible. She felt whole again, alive again, like life once again started to make sense. There was hope. Her hands finding their way to the back of his head, keeping him close to her, wandering down grabbing onto the fabric of his shirt, the fingers graving to feel the skin underneath it. The world around them had disappeared and It was like he never had been gone in this moment. Like the world now just made sense again and time had restarted after having left her in so much darkness, light was here.

Her fingers traced over his skin as he pulled his shirt off, the warm skin that touched her fingertips. Here she had thought she couldn't love again, because there was no other person's touch she wanted to feel rather than his. There was really no giving her heart away to someone else when he had hers for all eternity. She chuckled a bit as his fingers found the belt around her dress, "Mmh," she breathed out with a small nod, letting him pull up the fabric from the dress, feeling how the trace of his hands moved alongside her body as he pulled the dress off her. Elenora closed her eyes by the touch of his lips on her skin before they collided with her lips again, kissing him back even more passionate, feeling herself completely melt by the touch of his hands. This was how she became alive again, by his touch. It was a pure, natural exploration his body. There was only one person who could ever make her feel like she was feeling here in this moment, only one person who could take her this high. She felt as though now that with every caress, every kiss and touch, he claimed her body back as his.

Having found what you thought you had lost forever, losing a part of yourself to regain it again. Her soul completely entangled with his, she felt whole again. The missing piece was found and brought back to her. Soulmates always found their way back to each other. Each day had made reality more and more clear, there was so much ground they had needed to get covered, on top of just being in the moment, being them together. She had kept her engagement ring in a necklace after he had died, keeping it close to her, but it felt so good finally having it back on the finger where it belonged.


Elenora hung up the phone after she had talked to Ethan. "So, Ethan has stayed at this ranch for the last couple of days, with this woman Zoe - he will ask if we can stay there for a few days till we need to go to the airport," she chuckled a bit. Funny enough, even though she didn't know Ethan that well, she just knew he was well in this moment. And it had surprised her how well the ranch life and life there had suited him as they had visited Tamila. It didn't take long for Ethan to text her back that they could stay there for the last days before they would return to Gaia. "So, yup, seems like we just booked ourselves a mini vacation at a ranch cowboy," she laughed a little replying Ethan back before putting her phone down. "What do you say, let's go grab some fancy coffee somewhere, and just enjoy the city?" she walked closer to Archie, placing her arms around him, "and each other."
