“Oh, how can this be true? It can’t! Please, God, tell me this is not! Brandon, that was the night Melisa was conceived! He cannot be her father, my baby!”
“If you don’t believe me Viktoria, ask Melisa about the little brown scar she has behind her left ear. It looks like a three-leaf clover at first. But if you check it with a magnifying glass, it is 666.”
“I still don’t believe you, Lilith! You have to take me to Lucifer! I have to talk to him! See if he has something to tell me, something he wants to say face-to-face.”
“I will help you, but you have to ask the elders and archangels to give me back my hundreds of demon babies and open the doors to hell that they have closed.”
“Lilith, I cannot promise you that. I will see Lucifer with or without your help.
“If I were you, I would make a deal. There is something else—”
“I don’t believe anything you say anymore.”
“When you see Lucifer, ask him about the other child.”
“What child?” Brandon asked.
“Viktoria,” Brandon said, holding on to my arm, “you cannot do this. It’s not safe; we have to tell the elders that we need their help first.”
“No, Brandon, I am going and getting my kids back home, where they belong. If you want, you can call Greg and tell him everything. He’ll know how to get in touch with me, but no elders, Brandon. Do you understand? I will let Lacey know when we need the elders’ help. Please take Nelly and the kids home.”
“I cannot let you go by yourself. I am coming with you; don’t try to stop me.”
“Brandon, you have to stay with Nelly and the kids. They need you. Just take them home soon. When I get the kids, I will be joining you at home.” I touched his cheek with my fingertips. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.”
“No way; I don’t want to send you alone. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to you.”
“Brandon, nothing will happen to me; believe me. You know what? If I don’t come back in two hours, you can contact the elders and tell them everything.”
“I still say I should come with you, Viktoria. I know how Lilith works. How do we know if she is telling us the truth? Did you ever think about that?”
“Yes, I did. Nevertheless, she wants something back, and she will get it only if I get my kids back from Lucifer.”
“Hold on a second; if you don’t trust me, how can I trust you? How do I know the elders won’t follow us over there?” Lilith demanded.
“You don’t know, just like I don’t know, so we have to deal with whatever happens, don’t we, Lilith? So you better take me to Lucifer now.”
“As long as you don’t mention this to the elders, I will take you to him. Then, if there is nothing else, now you deal with Lucifer. I am not going against Lucifer to get you your kids.”
“Don’t worry. You have about two hours. Otherwise, Brandon will tell them everything.”
“Well, meet me at your place; then we will go as soon as you get home.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I just want you to meet me at your house, in the basement. Well, maybe Brandon can explain to you why on the way.”
“Brandon, what is she talking about? Our house?”
“I will tell you as soon as we get home, Viktoria. First let’s take everyone home.”
When we got home, Brandon led me to the extended section of the basement.
“Viktoria, I know you do not like the extended section of the basement, but we have to talk in there if you want to see Lucifer and Lilith.”
“Why in there, Brandon? What is it? You know I don’t like the dark; I don’t feel comfortable here.”
“I’m just going to explain everything once when we get inside. Otherwise, you will not understand.”
As we went inside, I was surprised to see that it was totally fixed up. I hadn’t been in the basement for a long time—since the time I found a goat’s head buried in there; it was a terrible experience. Brandon bent down and picked up a pile of wood from the floor. Then I heard someone coming toward the basement. At first, I got scared, and then I realized it was my mom.
“Viktoria, what are you doing? Why are you opening this door? This is dangerous; you cannot do this by yourself.”
Then I heard Michael and Babushka. They were frustrated with Brandon; they yelled at us, screaming, “You will never learn!” and “This is the door the demons have been using!” I was in shock, but I could not say anything, because this was my chance to get my kids back from Lucifer. No one was going to stop me.
“Babushka, you cannot stop me. I have to get the kids! Lilith should be here shortly. Please go away; otherwise, she will not take me to him.”
“Who is he, Viktoria? Is that Lucifer? She told you that Melisa was conceived by Lucifer. Now she is taking you to face him and ask for your kids back. What does Lilith want in return? I can tell you right out, but read this. Then make sure to spray holy water on it to dissolve the writing.”
“You knew, Babushka. This means you also knew about the other child,” I said in shock. “Why does it seem like everyone knew but me? Why didn’t you tell me this before? How could you keep this from me, Babushka? Lilith asked me to talk to the elders and the archangels and said that you have to return her babies that they have taken from her. Also, she wants to be ranked higher than Adam, Eve, and Lucifer. She said history does not mention her as Adam’s first wife and mother of the demons.”
“All right. Go to your reading room and make a circle with crystal salt and gold daggers. Then make a cross. Stand on it and read it. Then spray the holy water; do not come out of the circle until it has all dissolved. This is only for you, not Brandon. I am sorry, Brandon, but you are still under Lilith’s influence. It is best if you do not know yet.”
As soon as I got the letter, I ran into my reading room and did exactly what Babushka had told me to do. I was right in the middle, standing on the gold daggers, when my mom appeared right next to me. At least I was not alone at this moment.
“I have found out,” she said softly, “that Lucifer fathered the twins, not Melisa. The reason Lucifer has taken Melisa is to get Damien and tell him the truth and ask him to stand by him.”
“Mom, you knew this too? What about what Lilith told me? And another child, is it true?”
“No, baby, it’s not. She just wanted to use you to get her demon babies back and turn Damien against you, believe me. Your dad has tried to tell you so many times, but he could not. Don’t be angry with him.”
“I don’t know, Mom; I am so confused. I don’t know what to say. I better go back; Babushka’s waiting for me to decide what to do. I don’t know what to believe anymore.”
“Viktoria, just do what is right for you, and listen to your heart. To determine what is right and what is wrong, just think about your father. Do what he is saying.”
“Okay, Mom. I really need to go now. Please stay with the kids until I come back.”
I went to the basement. I did not know what to do, what to say. How was I going to tell Brandon the truth?
“Viktoria, did you make up your mind?”
“Yes, Babushka, I did. I am going with Lilith. I have to save my kids. I advise you and Michael to find a way to deal with Lilith.”
“We cannot do that. There is no chance that she will get her demon babies, Viktoria. Let us handle everything. You are putting yourself and the kids at risk of never coming back from hell. Back away from this before it is too late.”
“I think you and the elders should leave now. I believe Lilith should be here soon, and she especially requested not to have you or the elders around when she gets here. So please leave, Babushka.”
He nodded and left. A few minutes later, Lilith walked in. “There you are, Lilith; you made it.”
“I would not miss this
for anything. I always get what I want, either way. Come on, let’s go then. What are you waiting for?”
I went over to Brandon and gave him a hug. “Brandon,” I whispered in his ear, “just take care of the family until I come back. Tell Alia to keep an eye on Lacey and Cameron.”
He whispered back, “I will tell her. Just be careful; don’t trust Lilith. I love you.”
“I love you too, honey, no matter what happens.”
“Come, Viktoria,” Lilith said, grabbing me by the arm. “We are leaving; it’s not time to express your feelings to each other. Hold on to me. We are going to jump right in. Don’t let go of my shoulder.”
We jumped into the hole. Lilith looked very different; she was actually flying right into the fire. I was scared of the flames, and it was getting hotter as we went deeper. I was trying to hold on to Lilith, but suddenly, I slipped away and started falling down.
“Lilith, help me! Lilith, get me out of here! Why won’t you answer me?”
“Michael, we have to freeze time! Please! Or else she will fall into the loop and then we cannot save her!”
“Illia, I don’t know if we can do that. That is hell, and we don’t know where Lilith is. She could use this for a way out.”
“Please, Michael. We have to take a chance; we have to save her and the kids.”
“All right, but only for a minute. You hold on to me. I will grab and bring her up.”
“Look, Michael, it won’t even take a minute; just tell me when.”
“Illia, now! Go get her! Make sure no other demons are around, including Lilith!”
“Michael, what is going on? It looks like I am moving backward; everything is swirling. Oh no! I see Damien and Lilith!”
“Illia, I think Lilith used Damien to reverse time and go back to save his mother.”
“How far is she taking us back, Michael?”
“I am afraid, but I think the night of the twin’s birth. That means the rest of the six hundred sixty-five are reborn. I think Lilith did something good for us; this could mean we can turn everything for our advantage.”
“What about my wife and me? Will we be alive?”
“No, Illia, you will never be alive again. But you and your wife can make yourselves visible to everyone. I think we are in the hospital now. Look, Viktoria is there and the rest of the family; we shall join them as well.”
“Illia, if I know Viktoria, when she wakes up, she’ll be questioning us. What could time reversal be used for?”
“We did not reverse the time. It was Lilith. The elders and I froze time to save Viktoria from falling into the loop of fire. Then Lilith took the advantage and used Damien to reverse it.”
Chapter 16
In Hell
“Forget everything and go back to the night of the demon babys’ birth. Lilith will be after Damien to get back at Lucifer and the angels who took her babies.”
“This means she knows Viktoria’s twins are from Lucifer. Plus, Damien has powers from Lucifer and the angels. Lilith knows everything now.”
“Don’t worry; we have taken a precaution. At the moment, she is in hiding. As soon as she’s out, we will gather the female babies and do their exorcism and baptize all.”
“The twins? How we are going to tell Viktoria who fathered the twins? What happens if Lilith reveals the truth to Lucifer?”
“I don’t think she knows. Besides, Lucifer might find out what her plans were. Lilith would not like Lucifer to find out about the twins, especially Damien. The elders took the twins under protection as soon as they were born.”
“What did they do that for? What about the twins?”
“No, dear, they are under the elders’ care. They switched the souls of the twins, not the bodies, or else Lilith would know they had been switched.”
“How?”
“There are two types of angels that have taken over their bodies. Viktoria and Brandon won’t know anything.”
“Lucifer will eventually figure it out. We have to do something about it! You have to talk to the elders and Michael. Lilith will find a way to recreate everything and start hurting those babies at the first chance she gets.”
“Let me handle that when the time comes. The elders and I will do something by then. We will take it day by day.”
***
“Viktoria,” Brandon said, walking over to where I lay on the bed. “Wake up. Are you okay? Wake up, Viktoria? Are you all right?”
“I want my babies! I need to help them! Lilith has come back! You need to get me out of here and save my kids. Babushka, where are you? I need your help!”
“Viktoria, wake up! Brandon, you better get the doctor and Babushka. Viktoria, you’re hallucinating.”
“Doctor Justin, what is going on? She’s hallucinating; she’s saying things that don’t make any sense.”
“Don’t worry, Brandon. She’s having hallucinations because of the sedative we’ve been giving her for the last two days. She should wake up soon. Just don’t leave her by herself.”
“Of course we won’t. We’re all here, next to her.”
“Mom, where are you?”
“I am here, baby. It was only a dream; everything’s okay.”
“Oh my God!” I said, sitting up. “Where am I? What is happening?” I turned to my mother. “Mom, where is Lilith? Where is Lacey and Damien and my babies? Are they okay?”
“Viktoria, who is Lilith? Who are Damien and Lacey? You’re having a nightmare, honey.”
“Mom, where am I?”
“You are in the hospital.”
“Why am I in the hospital? Did something happen?”
“Yes, honey, you were in a car accident two days ago. It was a small one, but they had to take the babies because your blood pressure was high and uncontrollable. You went into early labor.”
“What are you talking about, Mom? What babies?”
“The twins, honey. Of course you don’t remember. Viktoria, you’ve been sleeping for the past two days. It was a difficult operation; you need to relax.”
“Mom, it was a terrible dream! I thought the babies died, and I could not help them!”
“Viktoria, the babies are fine. Nelly and Babushka are next to them, and Brandon will be here soon. When you feel better, they are going to bring the twins to you. Oh, look! Here’s Brandon.”
“But I thought the boys died. Oh, Brandon, it was terrible!”
“No, honey, they did not die. And it is not two boys; it’s a boy and a girl. It’s over, Viktoria. You are going to be fine and so are the twins.”
“I must have had a nightmare, but everything looked real! How can I see all these dreams in two days! And they had a real effect, like this! I am still under the influence of the dreams. There was a lady named Lilith, and she was Adam’s first wife—”
Brandon wrapped an arm around me. “You’re trembling, Viktoria. It was only a dream. You are going to be fine; plus, you were under the influence of the drugs. It’s normal to have unusual dreams that seem very real.”
“They are getting the twins ready to see you. They are so cute, healthy, and ready to meet their mommy!” Mom looked over at the door. “Look, honey! There they are!”
“Oh, my God, they are so small! I don’t know how we’re going to handle them and what we’re going to name them.” The nurse took the twins back to the nursery.
I looked up. “Brandon, Nelly is coming.” When my mother-in-law walked in, I said, “Brandon and I were just talking about what we were going to name them.”
“Oh dear, Viktoria, you must have forgotten. You already named them. Look at their picture frame; you made it yourself.”
“Let me see that, Nelly. I remember now; Alia and Damien, just like in my dream. But who is Gabriellele?”
“Actually, there was a nurse holding your hand during the operatio
n, and her name was Gabriellele.”
“How is my little girl doing?” Babushka asked as he came into the room. “I see you are doing much better, Viktoria. You gave us a bit of a scare.”
“Hi, Babushka. Have seen your grandchildren yet?”
“Yes, I did. I have been here since you had them. They are so adorable, just like angels.”
I groaned. “Babushka, please no mention of any angels or devils for the next few days.”
“You know what? We better go home so you can get your rest and enjoy your babies. We have been here for the last two days; I think your mom and Nelly need to rest, so when you come home, they both will be able to help you.”
“Thanks, Babushka. I do appreciate everyone’s support. I will be seeing you all at home tomorrow.”
“Viktoria, I am glad you and the twins are okay. When we heard you had been in an accident, I was worried.”
“Why, Brandon?”
“I wanted to stay with you, but instead, I went to work.”
“I don’t remember. The last thing I remember is I went with Lilith to hell to see if I could find Melisa and Damien. Lucifer suddenly appeared. I was holding on to Lilith. I lost my grip and fell into a hell of fire trying to save the kids.”
“That does sound horrible, but it was only a dream, honey. Try not to think about it. Get your rest; I will be next to you all night.”
“Before I woke up, I thought I heard a conversation about Lucifer fathering our twins and how they were going to tell me.”
“I think you really should stop thinking about it,” Brandon said when I told him my concerns. “It was only a dream, and it was horrifying because you were under the influence of the medication that they gave you. Also, the dream occurred in twenty-seven years! This is impossible; you are not even twenty-seven yourself!”
“Brandon, I think I agree with you. It must be the medication, and it was a dream. When are they going to bring the babies into our room to stay?”
“I think they’ll bring the babies anytime you want. If you like, I will ask the nurse if we could have them stay next to us; what do you say?”
“Do you think we will be able to keep them all night with us?” I asked, not even daring to hope for so much. “Please, go ask Justin if we can.”
