Chapter 29:

Time

Assassins Who Cleanse Sins Away


Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance, then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

It is late at night in San Jose City, Falitna and Meadow is asleep in his hotel room then he thought he heard Christiana's voice.

Christiana: "Oh I just can't help it but to watch you sleep. *chuckles* You look so handsome in your sleep."

He wakes up and sees that his by himself.

Meadow: "Christiana! Oh, she's not here…"

He touches his heart knowing how much it hurts being apart from Christiana that his heart is aching and feeling like his heart has been stabbed with a thousand knives. Dean came into the hotel room.

Dean: "There's a demon out there not too far from here."

Meadow: "Fine…"

He gets up and grabs his sword and Dean is concerned about him.

Dean: "Maybe this time try not to make the kill a rush job."

Meadow: "Whatever…"

Dean: "It's written all over your face you miss her but you shouldn't bottle up your emotions."

Meadow starts to cry for the first time in his life.

Meadow: "God, I miss her… My arms wrapped around her. Giving her morning and night kisses. Hearing her voice. I broke my promise to her."

Dean: "Promise?"

Meadow: "I promised her that I wouldn't be apart from her again."

Dean: "Is it because she was one of the Black Market victims?"

Meadow: "Yes… For six months she wouldn't let me touch her because she felt unfaithful to me. Even though I told her it wasn't her fault that she was raped by that man when she was asleep. She kept telling me I'm sorry for being a terrible wife. I told her she had no reason to be sorry."

Dean: "It must have been awful what she went through."

Meadow: "It was."

Dean: "Were you dreaming of her by any chance?"

Meadow: "Yes why do you ask?"

Dean: "Because you need to take a cold shower."

Realizing what Dean meant Meadow gets embarrassed and blushes running to the bathroom to take a cold shower. After that, he comes out to change clothes feeling irritated by Dean because he embarrassed him.

Meadow: "Don't say another word."

Dean: "Okay. But I never thought that you of all people would do that. Christiana must be one special woman for you to-" Meadow pulls out his sword and pointed the blade almost to Dean's neck. "Okay, not another word."

He puts his sword back and heads for the door.

Meadow: "Let's go. If you tell anyone that I cried I will kill you."

Dean: "Noted."

They left the hotel to hunt. It is the next day at Rhinestone City Seven is heading to the mansion to visit the group.

Seven: "It's a nice day for a Saturday. I'm so glad I did my homework yesterday I can spend the whole weekend doing whatever I want." He makes it to the mansion and knocks on the door. "Hm? looks like they are not home."

He hears noises nearby and walks where it's at sees the group swimming in a small ocean almost like a pond.

Shadow: "I always love swimming on the last day of September."

Macy: "It's so relaxing taking a break."

Angel: "When was the last we took a break?"

Seven: "Huh? They're all swimming?"

Tom and Zachary got out of the water to dry off and were about to head back home but they see Seven blushing a bit while watching the women swim. They walked behind him and Zachary put his arm around Seven's neck in a friendly matter.

Zachary: "Well if it isn't the kid."

Seven: "What the hell?!"

Tom: "Checking out the girls huh?"

Seven's face turns almost red.

Seven: "No I wasn't!"

Zachary: "There's no need to be embarrassed it's normal for you to be curious about the opposite sex."

Tom: "Unless he's bicurious that does happen to some people."

Seven: "I'm not."

Angel and Shadow got out of the water to dry off with their towels.

Zachary: "By the way the twin with her hair down is mine."

Tom: "He's probably interested in Angel; he probably can't tell them apart."

Seven: "I'm not!"

Zachary: "Well it can't be Violet because he's not her type."

Tom: "It definitely can't be the boss because she's married so that would leave."

They noticed the way Seven is nervously checking out Macy.

Zachary: "So it's Macy, isn't it?"

Seven turns completely red and stutters a bit.

Seven: "No! I mean yes, I mean well I don't know… it's just a crush…"

Tom: "So you do prefer older girls huh?"

Seven: "Um…Well…"

Zachary: "How cute. I guess girls your age don't fancy you huh."

Tom: "Good luck talking to your crush."

Tom pats Seven on the back for good luck and the two of them went home.

Seven: "Why would those two poke fun of me and embarrass me?!"

Angel, Violet, Macy, and Shadow dried off and went home. Before she left Macy went to talk to Seven.

Macy: "Hey."

He blushes and talks so nervously.

Seven: "Oh... Um... Hey..."

Macy: "Guess you're here to see the boss huh."

Seven: "Yeah..."

Macy: "See you later."

As she is leaving, he blushes as he awkwardly checks her out.

Seven: "Well I'll be damned."

Christiana: "Enjoying the view?"

He blushes from embarrassment.

Seven: "No of course not what makes you think that?!"

As she is getting out of the water Seven notices the marking on her stomach and it gives him a chilling bad feeling for a split second.

Christiana: "What?"

Seven: "That mark just brings back some bad memories."

Christiana: "It's best to remember the bad memories because sometimes it can build you as a person."

He spots part of her pentagon hex tattoo on her upper left thigh that's not covered by her swim shorts.

Seven: "You have that tattoo too?! Why? I mean you got those pentagon hex earrings."

Christiana: "In case I lose my earrings. It'll be a cold day in hell for a demon to possess me."

She lifts up her left short leg to reveal her tattoo then pulls the short leg down to cover the tattoo and he blushes out of embarrassment from seeing the tattoo.

Seven: "W-Why did you put it there of all places?!"

Christiana: "I figured Meadow would like it there."

As they are talking Maria is running in their direction preparing a spell.

Maria: "I call upon the powers of the elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal! Within time and space and space and time! Send the one I seek back in time! Send him back to May 14, 1845!"

Right before they knew it a time portal appears.

Seven and Christiana: "What the hell?!"

Then Seven gets sucked into the portal.

Seven: "Wha?! Ah!"

The portal closes and Christiana is shocked.

Christiana: "Little boy!"

Maria reaches for her being out of breath.

Maria: "Please tell me *pants* I sent Henry *pants* back in time."

Christiana: "No you sent the little boy instead."

Maria: "Oh. *pants* I need to rest for a second." They sit down and Maria rest. "I didn't mean to send Seven I meant to send Henry back in time. I thought that was Henry talking to you. I didn't know that it was Seven."

Christiana: "Why did you do it?"

Maria: "I was on my way home until I saw a warlock being forced to create a time portal and a demon was going to send another demon to May 15 but instead, he sent it to May 14."

Christiana: "What year?"

Maria: "1845."

Christiana: "Shit!"

Maria: "What?! I don't understand why that date is important."

Christiana: "May 15, 1845, is the date I got married!"

Maria: "Is the demon going to prevent it from happening?"

Christiana: "I don't know but I'm worried."

Meanwhile, the time portal appears on May 14, 1845, in the afternoon, and Seven came out of the portal.

Seven: "What the hell just happened?" He notices that he is in the city and is a bit confused. "Was I transported back to the city?" He slowly starts to realize that it may look like Rhinestone City but it isn't. "Um excuse me sir but may I see the date in the newspaper?"

Man: "Of course young man."

Seven looks at the newspaper and is shocked to see what the date is on the paper. He hands the man back the newspaper and walks off.

Seven: "Holy shit! It's May 14, 1845?! Last time I checked it was September 30, 1850! I traveled back five years into the past. I traveled back in time." He noticed that there were a lot of high school students on the streets. "It's two o'clock so that means school is out. Huh?"

Classmate 1: "Hey Collins could you help me study for the history final? Please?"

Seven is shocked when he hears a familiar voice.

Christiana: "I really don't want to."

Classmate 1: "Please? I can't fail finals."

Christiana: "If I don't you won't leave me alone so fine."

Classmate 1: "Thanks you're a lifesaver! Let's study at the library Monday morning after roll call."

Christiana: "Whatever..."

Classmate 2: "Hey Collins could you help me study for the astronomy final?"

Christiana: "Give me a good reason why I should."

Classmate 2: "I can't fail astronomy! I already got a D in astronomy if I don't pass the class, I won't be able to graduate!"

Christiana: "I said give me a good reason."

The student got on his knees pleading with her to help him.

Classmate 2: "I'm on my knees begging please help me!"

She gets annoyed and reluctantly decides to help him.

Christiana: "Fine I'll do it if I don't, you'll wear me down."

Classmate 2: "Thanks! Let's study at the library Tuesday morning I'm pretty sure some of our classmates have already asked you to help on Monday."

As she turns around to leave Seven is a bit surprised to see Christiana as a teenager walking in his direction to go home.

Seven: "Holy shit... Is that Christiana?!" Seeing how beautiful she is as a student in her uniform caused him to have a nosebleed. "Aw, man! I can't believe that I got a nosebleed."

He blushes out of embarrassment and covers his nose with his hand then two girls notice him.

Student 1: "Hey are you okay?"

Seven: "Huh?"

One of the girls gave him a tissue and he took it to clean the blood off his nose.

Student 2: "You must've had a pretty bad fall huh?"

Seven: "Uh…. Yes, I pretty much fell on my face really hard. So do you two know that girl that just left?"

Student 2: "Who? Collins?"

Seven: "Yeah."

Student 1: "We're in the same year as her but we're in different classes."

Seven: "Do you know where she lives?"

Student 2: "Don't your boyfriend live about five houses away from her?"

Student 1: "Yeah he does in Milloway Street."

Seven: (Thinking) "Milloway Street huh? That's at the ruby area."

Student 2: "Are you a friend of hers?"

Seven: "Yeah…"

Student 2: "Honestly I'm a bit surprised she usually keeps to herself."

Seven: "How so?"

Student 1: "She doesn't really talk to anyone. When it's lunchtime she usually goes off and eats lunch by herself."

Student 2: "For a girl like her she is quite mysterious."

Seven: "A girl like her?"

Student 1: "She's the smartest girl in school for one."

Student 2: "She's the most athletic too."

Student 1: "She's the most beautiful girl in school. I'm like so envious."

Student 2: "So am I."

Afterward, he went to the train station to head to the ruby area. Just as he enters the train, he spots Christiana at the other cart.

Seven: "There she is!" Once the train arrives at the ruby area Seven follows Christiana to where she lives. "This must be her house."

She went into her house and Seven was looking outside the window to see if it was really her house.

Christiana: "I'm home."

Meadow: "You seem irritated."

They both sit down on the couch.

Christiana: "My classmates keep asking me to help them study for finals it's a pain in the ass."

Meadow: "It's understandable they come to you after all you're a very intelligent girl."

She blushes a bit and they share a kiss then he touches her thigh with his hand and slowly moves it up under her skirt until she slaps his hand to stop him.

Christiana: "Don't even think about it. At least wait until our honeymoon."

He clears his throat and blushes out of embarrassment.

Meadow: "I couldn't help myself."

Harmony runs up to Christiana and hops onto her arms and gives her affection.

Harmony: "Mi! Mi!"

Christiana: "Aw you miss me that much Harmony."

Harmony: "Mi! Mi! Mi!"

Christiana: "You must be hungry I'll fix you a slice of apple pie."

She puts Harmony down and gets up to go into the kitchen to get Harmony a slice of pie.

Meadow: "Let's go on a date tonight."

Christiana: "You want to take me out on a date."

Meadow: "In a way, it'll be our last date as boyfriend and girlfriend."

Christiana: "Maybe I'll wear that black split long dress you like you know the only dress I got that is strapless."

He clears his throat and blushes. Christiana went upstairs to shower and Meadow went to their room to get dressed for their date. Seven enters the house and is surprised to see what Christiana's house used to be.

Seven: "So this is Christiana's house huh?" He notices a graduation photograph of two best friends. "I wonder who those two are. Unless…"

Christiana came downstairs with her towel wrapped around her to see who was in her house. She drew her sword out and had it close to his neck.

Christiana: "Who are you? And why are you in my house?"

Seven: "I'm not a demon! See for yourself!"

She used her sword on him and her sword went right through his arm and unharmed him.

Christiana: "Your story checks out. Come on out Meadow he's not a threat."

Meadow came out of hiding and put his sword back.

Meadow: "That also means that you're not a vampire or werewolf because you would have lost an arm. So, who are you? A Warlock? Wizard?"

Seven: "I'm just a human who happens to be a psychic user."

Christiana: "A psychic user? Yeah right."

Seven: "See for yourself."

He uses his hand to use his telekinesis and moves a book out of the shelf and into his hand.

Christiana: "And I thought you were a fake. So, you're the real deal."

Seven: "Yeah."

After the encounter Christiana gets dressed and Seven is sitting on the couch. Christiana and Meadow are wondering why Seven is here.

Christiana: "Let me ask again why are you here?"

Seven: "Okay you two may not believe me but I'm from another time."

Meadow: "Another time?"

Seven: "I'm from the year 1850 and I came to you guys because I know you guys in the future and I need your help to get back home."

Christiana: "How do you know us?"

Seven: "Okay Christiana you have a major sweet tooth. You can't help it when it comes to any sweet especially cake and crepes. You got the pentagon hex tattoo on your left thigh because you got the tattoo in case you lose your pentagon hex earrings. You told me and I quote that it'll be a cold day in hell for a demon to possess you."

Christiana: "That would be my exact words."

Seven: "Meadow you're a total pervert you're practically a horny animal around Christiana. You can't help yourself when it comes to Christiana. You always have your hands all over her and when she's not looking you smack her butt every time you get a chance to. When she wears shorts, short dresses, or skirts you always slip your hand underneath them to grope her."

Meadow blushes out of embarrassment.

Christiana: "You really do know us."

Seven: "So you believe me?"

Christiana: "I suppose so."

Seven: "So do you guys know how I can return back to my time?"

Meadow: "The only way to get you back to your time."

Christiana: "Is to have a witch or a warlock to perform a time spell."

Seven: "Please tell me you guys know any witches or warlocks."

Meadow: "Piper."

Christiana: "She is busy making exams so we have to talk to her tomorrow at school."

Seven: "Hey where are you going?"

Christiana: "We're going on a date."

They left and Seven looked around Christiana's house and he spotted an old rabbit doll.

Seven: "I wonder if this is Christiana's."

He touches the doll and has a premonition of a little girl holding the doll looking sad.

Amelia's Mom: "We're just going to the doctor."

Amelia's Dad: "*coughs* Don't worry too much about me Amelia. Once the doctor sees about my sickness, I'll get some medicine and I'll be feeling better in no time."

Amelia's Mom: "And after Dad gets better, we can go on that vacation we promised."

Young Amelia: "You promise?"

Amelia's Mom: "Yes sweetie we promise to come back safe and sound."

Amelia's Dad: "*coughs* And the vacation we'll take during your summer vacation."

Young Amelia: "Okay momma okay daddy..."

Her parents left the house to go to the hospital then hours later she heard knocking on the door. She walked downstairs and opened the door seeing a police officer.

Police Officer: "Hello there is your name Amelia."

Young Amelia: "Yes."

Police Officer: "This is going to be hard to say but your parents have been in a terrible accident. I'm afraid that your parents have died in the accident."

Amelia couldn't believe what she heard and was in shock to hear her parents died. A few days passed and Amelia was at her parent's funeral at the cemetery.

Woman 1: "That poor girl she's just nine years old a few days ago and she lost both her parents."

Man 1: "Her parents don't have siblings nor relatives of their own."

Woman 2: "That would mean that she will be put in an orphanage."

Amelia stands in front of her parents' grave crying over their deaths.

Young Amelia: "You broke your promise.. I hate you! I hate you both! Both of you left me alone!"

Woman 3: "Ungrateful girl! How dare she say that to her own parents?!"

Man 2: "Do you have any idea what she's going through?! She lost both her parents! She's all alone now! She's just a mere child going through this pain all by herself!"

As she continues to cry a child services agent walks up to her.

Child Services Agent: "Hi there Amelia. I'm from child services do you know why I'm here?"

Young Amelia: "No."

Child Services Agent: "You know that your mom and your dad don't have any brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, or even parents of their own right."

Young Amelia: "M-Mhm."

Child Services Agent: "Because of that I'm going to take you to a home where there are kids like you who don't have any family."

Young Amelia: "An orphanage?!"

Child Services Agent: "Yes once you get there, you'll be making some new friends there."

Young Amelia: "N-No! I don't want to go to an orphanage!"

She continues to cry until a man walks up to them then she stops crying and looks up to see that it's her parents' neighbor.

Man 2: "That won't be necessary sir I will be Amelia's guardian until she is old enough to be on her own."

Child Services Agent: "Are you sure? Taking care of a child is a lot of responsibility have you ever taken care of a child before? Do you have any children or a child of your own?"

Man 2: "I may not have children of my own but I have babysat a lot of people's children and their parents always told me that I should be a parent myself. I even tried to adopt a child but all of the orphanages and the adoption agencies keep rejecting me because I'm a single man."

Child Services Agent: "I understand."

Man 2: "Her dad had asked me to be her guardian if anything happened to him and his wife."

Child Services Agent: "Okay then I will be attending the will hearing to make sure it's accurate once it's confirmed you will be Amelia's legal guardian until she is old enough to be on her own."

The premonition ends after Seven lets go of the doll.

Seven: "Who's Amelia? She must've been the previous owner or maybe she's related to Christiana."

Nightfall came and Christiana made up the guest room underneath the staircase for Seven.

Christiana: "You can sleep here tonight."

Seven: "You have a room underneath your stairs?!"

Christiana: "Yes my mother used to sleep in here when she was a child."

Seven: "That premonition..."

Christiana: "Premonition?"

Seven: "I had a premonition of a little girl losing her parents so that little girl is your mom."

Christiana: "It was a car crash a woman was drinking and driving and killed my mother's parents. The woman's husband wanted forgiveness for what his wife did and my mother refused to forgive the woman. My mother believed that some people do deserve forgiveness and others don't deserve it. That woman knew what she was doing if she didn't then she wouldn't have gotten behind the wheel of a car that night."

Seven: "I don't blame your mom I would have said something like that if my mom was killed by a drunk driver."

Christiana: "What about your father?"

Seven: "Oh that's right I almost forgot I told the adult you about it. My dad died before I was even born. He was a psychic too he even knew about me before he died so he must have known I would have the same gift he did." He took out his dad's journal. "So, he wrote everything down on this journal about what powers I might have."

Christiana: "I see."

Seven: "I can see the dead as you can, I can astral project myself, I have telekinesis, and recently I can see aura."

Christiana: "Aura? Like revealing what kind of person, they really are."

Seven: "Yeah you told me that well the adult you. You're probably wondering what you are like as an adult in the future. I could tell you about the future."

Christiana: "No."

Seven: "What?! Why?!"

Christiana: "I don't want to know about my future don't you know if you tell me about my future, it'll cause a chain effect, and the future you return to may not be the same as you left it."

Seven: "Oh..."

She heads for the door.

Christiana: "I'm going to bed besides a little boy like you needs his rest."

Seven: "Hey! I'm not a little boy! At this time of year we're near the same age I'm sixteen and you're seventeen!"

Christiana: "Don't you know you're not really sixteen in this time period."

Seven: "She's right technically I would be eleven because it's five years in the past. Then I won't have my other abilities I would just be able to have premonitions, but I would have headaches afterward."

Christiana: "Goodnight little boy."

She went upstairs and they all went to sleep. It's the next day in the morning Seven is asleep as he smells coffee he wakes up.

Seven: "Hm? Coffee?"

He gets out of bed and overhears giggling.

Christiana: "No. Stop. Cut it out."

Meadow kisses Christiana gently as he has his hands all over her. Untying her tie and unbuttoning her blouse groping her breast.

Meadow: "If you keep saying no it'll make me want more of you."

He continues to kiss her then he starts to kiss her neck and moves one of his hands down to her thighs and slips his hand under her skirt trying to slip his finger inside her.

Christiana: "No. I said cut it out!" She kicks him below the belt hard and he falls to his knees. "Well, I told you to cut it out."

Meadow: "Did you have to kick me that hard?"

Christiana: "Yes it's the only way for you to learn."

Seven came out of the staircase room and went into the kitchen and saw Meadow on the floor hurting.

Seven: "Whoa. Did she kick you in the-?"

Meadow: "Yes, she did, and the worst part is that she wasn't wearing her boots."

Seven: "Uh how is that the worst part?"

Meadow: "She has quite a kick."

Seven: "Ouch."

She turns around as she is buttoning her blouse and tying her tie on.

Christiana: "I told you to wait until tonight, but you didn't listen."

Seven: "That pretty much proves my point yesterday he's a horny animal when it comes to you, Christiana."

She drinks her coffee.

Christiana: "Coffee?"

Seven: "No thanks I don't drink coffee."

Christiana: "Really? What's wrong with you?"

Seven: "Haha very funny."

She finishes her coffee and puts her boots on then grabs her bag.

Christiana: "Well I'm off."

Seven: "See you later."

She leaves and Meadow gets up from the floor and sits on the chair.

Meadow: "Damn that hurts she didn't have to kick me that hard."

Seven: "If you're worried about future problems then you don't have to what she did to you didn't affect anything."

Meadow: "Very funny kid."

Seven walks to the graduation photograph of two best friends.

Seven: "So who's that girl next to Christiana's mom?"

Meadow: "Her friend they have been friends since middle school."

Seven: "Oh."

He touches the photograph and gets a premonition of Christiana's mom as a high school student on the day her best friend met Christiana's dad Corey.

Hillary: "You are so lucky Amelie's."

Amelia: "Oh really."

Hillary: "Yes you have a handsome boyfriend who is such a gentleman."

Amelia: "He is really great."

Hillary: "Hey does he have any friends or any brothers?"

Amelia: "His friends are at his hometown in New Trailway, and he only has sisters well one sister and a half-sister."

Hillary: "Aw no fair I wouldn't mind having an older boyfriend."

Amelia: "Well to tell you the truth I'm gonna go with him to meet his sister."

Hillary: "His sister? Shouldn't you meet his parents?"

Amelia: "His mom died, and he rather not see his dad ever again."

Hillary: "Oh anyways I'm gonna spend the night at your house."

Amelia: "Why?"

Hillary: "Because you can't be trusted to be left alone anymore."

Amelia: "Oh ha-ha very funny Hill."

Hillary: "It's a gift."

They went inside and Amelia changed clothes before going to meet up with Corey.

Amelia: "So what do you think?"

Hillary: "Cute but let's take the ribbon off."

Amelia: "Why?"

Hillary: "See you look great."

Then someone knocked on the door and Amelia went to open the door.

Amelia: "That must be Corey! Hey, you're here!"

Corey: "I thought I should pick you up."

Amelia: "How sweet are you!"

Hillary: "So this is the mysterious boyfriend I've been hearing about."

Amelia: "Yes... Corey this is Hillary my best friend."

Corey: "The famous Hillary I'm glad I got to meet you, thanks for watching over Amelia for me."

Hillary: "It's no problem she's like my other half."

Corey: "I see she tells me that you are protective of her."

Hillary: "I have to after all she doesn't really have anyone else before she met you of course. So, tell me do you have any friends I would like to meet since Amelia got the right idea to date an older guy?"

Amelia: "Hillary!"

Corey: "Sorry my friends are in my hometown, and I don't really have any here though some staff members ask me out for drinks, and I always turn them down."

Hillary: "Aww..."

Amelia: "We better get going."

Corey: "Yeah we should it was nice meeting you, Hillary."

Hillary: "It was nice meeting you too and don't even think about having sex here tonight 'cause I'm staying the night here."

Corey: "Huh?!"

Amelia: "Let's just go!!"

Then days later Amelia is at Hillary's house crying her eyes out.

Amelia: "He left me! I can't believe that he left me, Hillary!"

Hilary: "It'll be okay."

Amelia: "No it won't he was the first guy I ever loved it hurts so much."

Hilary: "Hey you know what my sis told me. She told me that your first love is the first of many. You never know you may meet a man you love the way you loved Corey. You must be strong for the baby."

She stops crying and realizes that she must be brave for her unborn child.

Amelia: "Your right I have to be strong for the baby."

Then Hilary's adopted older sister walks in.

Hilary's Sister: "Baby?! Hilary! You're having a baby?! I knew one of these days would happen!"

Hilary: "It's not me Sis!"

Amelia: "It's me I'm having a baby."

Hilary's Sister: "You Amelia? Really?"

Amelia: "Yes and I am going to keep it."

Hilary's Sister: "It'll be okay I can get our parents to help you through this."

The premonition furthers through the day the two girls graduated high school.

Hilary's Mom: "I'm so proud of you girls."

Hilary's Dad: "It seems like yesterday you girls started high school and today you both graduated."

Hilary's Sister: "I can't believe Hilary actually graduated."

Hilary: "Very funny Sis."

Hilary's Mom: "Are you still considering going to university Amelia?"

Amelia: "No not now after all I have a daughter to raise once she is older, I'll go to university and study to be an astronomer like I originally planned." She picks up two-year-old Christiana. "Are you proud momma finishing high school, Christiana?"

She shakes her head yes.

Hilary's Sister: "Honestly I thought Hilary would've been the one to have a kid before finishing school never you Amelia."

Amelia: "I know our former classmates were shocked to see that I am a mom and that I finished school as a parent since you know most teenage parents tend to drop out of high school."

Hilary: "But not you Amelie's you managed just fine as a teenage mom."

Amelia: "Expect the fact that I had to do summer school, but it was worth it."

The premonition ends after Seven lets go of the photograph.

Seven: "Okay I'm not going to touch anything else in this house because I'm afraid that I'll be getting nothing but premonitions."

Meadow: "What did you see?"

Seven: "Christiana's mom introducing an older man to her best friend."

Meadow: "That was her father."

Seven: "Really?!"

Meadow: "Yes."

Seven: "I mean how did she manage to cover up her pregnancy, especially with the baby bump."

Meadow: "Most likely she must have constantly been at the infirmary and went to school really early when there weren't many students around."

Seven: "That makes sense."

Later on, Christiana is at the school cafeteria during lunch hour and some of the girls from her class notice her.

Classmate 1: "Hey Collins this is the first time I have ever seen you at the cafeteria."

Christiana: "Hm?"

Classmate 2: "Yeah you usually leave the school to have lunch I never thought you would eat at the cafeteria."

One of the girls notices her ring.

Classmate 3: "Nice ring Collins."

Classmate 2: "Yeah that ribbon is so cute!"

Classmate 1: "And is that a diamond in the middle?!"

Christiana: "It's my engagement ring."

Classmate 3: "You're getting married?!"

Christiana: "After graduation. (Thinking: That's a lie.)"

Classmate 1: "Really?! Wow, you're lucky that your boyfriend loves you so much that he wants to marry you!"

Classmate 2: "Unless he is marrying you for another reason."

Christiana: "I'm not pregnant for your information."

While the girls were talking Christiana slipped away from them and left the cafeteria.

Classmate 3: "Yeah, it's not always because of that you know."

Then they noticed that she was gone.

Classmate 2: "Hey where did she go?"

Christiana went to the faculty office to find Piper.

Faculty Member: "Can I help you?"

Christiana: "Is Mrs. Chaperon here?"

Piper: "Oh Christiana what are you doing here?"

Christiana: "There's something going on in one of the classrooms."

Piper: "Oh okay thank you, Ms. Collins." They walked out of the office and went somewhere to talk. "Sorry, I don't have any hunting jobs for you. Besides you must get ready for your special day later today."

Christiana: "There's a boy from another time and he wants to go back."

Piper: "Really? How far?"

Christiana: "Five years in the future."

Piper: "Five years? That's not far from the future."

Christiana: "I know, and he knows me, and Meadow in the future must be a future demon hunter."

Piper: "Must be."

Meanwhile, the demon that was also sent back in time is searching for Christiana and Meadow.

Demon: "Where are those two? Once I find them, I'll kill the girl and then the vampire as a bonus."

He walks all over the city to find them and then spots Meadow and Seven at a tailor shop that belongs to an acquaintance of Meadow's.

Meadow: "Explain to me why I have to wear this tuxedo again?"

Derrick: "Because it's traditional to wear a tuxedo for the groom when he gets married."

Meadow: "Whatever… I can't wait to have Christiana wrapped in my arms."

Derrick: "Really? Why is that?"

Meadow: "Because she wouldn't exactly let me you know."

Derrick: "I see. There might be a reason why she wants you to wait for you two to be intimate until your honeymoon."

Meadow: "I didn't think a minister would say something like that." He thinks about what Derrick said and quickly realizes what he meant and his face almost turns red. (Thinking: "She wants me to f**k her!)

Derrick: "Meadow are you okay?"

Meadow: "I'm fine."

Derrick: "Then why is your face red?"

Meadow: "No reason!"

Derrick: "Are you going to tell me about the kid here?"

Meadow: "He's from another city visiting."

Seven: (Thinking) "That's practically the truth."

Derrick: "Where are you from?"

Seven: "York Time City."

Derrick: "That means that you're from New Trailway. Have you heard of a hunter named Nicholas? He's from there you know unfortunately he passed away eleven years ago."

Seven is shocked to hear his dad's name and tries not to show it.

Seven: "Was his last name Montague by any chance?"

Derrick: "Yes how did you know?"

Seven: "Lu-Lucky guess."

Derrick: "Don't forget to tell your soon-to-be wife to stop by here after school so I can finish her wedding dress."

Meadow: "Fine."

Derrick went to the back room.

Seven: "How do you know this tailor?"

Meadow: "We are acquaintances he's also a hunter."

Seven: "I see he's just here to finish your tuxedo and Christiana's dress."

Meadow: "Not just that he's also performing the ceremony. He's a minister after all."

Seven: "What?! A minister and a hunter?!"

The demon overhears them and then hides in the shadows to follow Meadow once he leaves the shop. Later on, at the school, the bell rings and the school day has ended. All of the students were leaving and Christiana went to the tailor shop to try on her wedding dress. She changes out of her uniform to her wedding dress.

Christiana: "Where's Meadow?"

Seven: "Oh Derrick told him to leave because it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding."

He walks to see her in her dress and is shocked to see how beautiful she is.

Christiana: "That's a shame."

Derrick: "It still fits just fine I just wanted to make sure before the wedding starts."

She notices Seven's reaction.

Christiana: "What?"

Seven: "You just look beautiful. So why don't you wear a garter? Isn't it traditional or something?"

A familiar figure walks in.

Henry: "No way. If she did wear a garter, then Meadow won't be able to control himself."

Seven is shocked to see teenage Henry with long hair.

Seven: "Henry?!"

Henry: "Who's this and why does he know my name?"

Christiana: "He's from another time Henry."

Henry: "Really?"

Christiana: "Five years in the future."

Henry: "So not that far from the future."

Christiana: "Yep and it seems that he knows us at that time."

Seven still has a shocking look on his face.

Henry: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seven: "I'm just surprised to see you here that's all."

Christiana: "I'm surprised too I didn't think you would come to my wedding."

Henry: "My sister blackmailed me into coming here."

Seven: (Thinking) "So that's his reason?"

Derrick: "We better get going after the wedding is going to start in two hours."

Christiana went into the backroom to change back into her uniform then they left the shop. A couple of hours later Christiana is getting ready for her wedding at the local church.

Piper: "Christiana you look so beautiful!"

Maria: "You're so beautiful! Momma, will I be this beautiful when I'm grown up?"

Piper: "Sweetie you are already beautiful and you'll always be beautiful."

Seven walks in.

Seven: "Oh there you are."

Piper: "This must be the time traveler boy."

He is surprised to see Maria as a little kid.

Seven: "Maria?!"

Piper: "You know my daughter?!"

Seven: "She was the one who sent me back."

Piper: "I see but why would she send you back here?"

Seven: "I honestly don't know."

Then the demon came out of the shadows and attacked them. They manage to dodge the attacks as Piper uses a spell on her daughter.

Piper: "Beat! Sleep!"

Maria falls into a deep sleep.

Seven: "What happened?!"

Piper: "Don't worry I just put her to sleep. I'll put her somewhere safe."

Piper went to find somewhere to keep her daughter safe.

Christiana: "Hand me my sword!"

Seven: "Okay!"

He hands Christiana her sword and tries to stop the demon, but he keeps dodging her attacks.

Demon: "Nice try huntress! I know all your moves!"

Seven hid somewhere in the room and used his astral projection.

Seven: "Hey asshole! You wanna fight?! Then fight me!"

Demon: "Sorry but I don't fight small fries."

Seven: "What?! Think you can't handle fighting me!"

Demon: "Damn kid!"

He stops attacking Christiana and goes after Seven. While his astral projection lures the demon out of the church he hides outside and Seven wakes up as his projection vanishes.

Seven: "That should buy you some time to rest for a second."

Christiana: "That's one tough demon didn't think I would get worn out like that."

The demon tries to find Seven but realizes that he was tricked. When he is about to go after Seven Meadow appears and attacks the demon, but the demon dodges his attacks.

Demon: "Not bad hunter."

Meanwhile, Seven is with Piper.

Seven: "Can witches conjure up objects?"

Piper: "Yes but the objects won't last long, and it all depends on what it is."

Seven: "How about hunting weapons?"

Piper: "I can conjure weapons but it'll only last about five minutes."

Seven: "Five minutes should be enough."

The demon notices Christiana coming out of the church and decides to change targets.

Demon: "Hate to break this to you but I'm here to kill her then you."

The demon attacks Christiana and stabs her in the chest, and she falls to the ground.

Back in the present Christiana felt a sharp pain and touched her stomach.

Christiana: "Argh!"

Zachary: Boss!"

Angel and Shadow: "What's wrong?"

Christiana: "My baby! I feel it vanishing."

Violet notices Christiana's hand disappearing and reappearing.

Violet: "Your hand!"

Tom: "What does that mean?!"

Zachary: "It means that whatever is happening in the past it's affecting the present."

Maria: "What does that mean?"

Henry: "It means if she gets killed in the past, she won't make it to the present."

Zachary: "That also means none of us would have ever met."

Macy and Tom's heads start to hurt as bit by bit they forget about Christiana and others.

Violet: "Don't tell me."

Henry: "Their memories are fading about us."

Christiana: "Little boy whatever is happening you better stop it!"

Back in the past Meadow saw Christiana being stabbed and couldn't get to her on time.

Meadow: "Christiana!" Seeing her like that he gets angry, and his nails sharpen, and attacks the demon. "Bastard!!" The demon keeps dodging his attacks and uses Meadow's own sword against him and stabs his arm. "Argh!"

Demon: "Like I told your bride I know all her moves and I know all of yours too. I didn't even have to try with her she'll bleed to death, and you'll be turned into ashes in no time."

Meadow: "You son of bitch..."

Just as the demon is about to kill Meadow a bullet hits the demon in the arm.

Demon: "What the hell?! I can't move my arm!"

The shooter was revealed to be Henry.

Henry: "Bullseye."

Seven: "Take her to Piper she'll be able to heal her in time. Hurry she's losing a lot of blood!"

Henry picks her up and takes her to Piper.

Demon: "Damn kid!"

Seven: "I want to know why would a demon want to wreck a wedding of all things."

Demon: "I'm not here because of that. Just like you, I'm also from five years in the future and I'm here to kill that girl and her vampire. The seer had a premonition of that woman stopping the king and all I must do is kill her and prevent the premonition from happening."

Seven: "King? King of Demons?"

Demon: "Close the king of hell the angel that was cast out of heaven."

Seven: "Lucifer?"

Demon: "Of course who else would I be talking about."

Seven couldn't believe what he heard.

Seven: "It doesn't matter why you're here because I'm going to stop you!"

Demon: "Really now? Why would you want to save her?"

Seven: "She saved me many times before..." He thinks back to the times she protected and saved him. "Now it's my turn to do the same not just because I'm a demon hunter! Because she's, my friend!"

Demon: "Are you sure about that kid?! I still got one good arm!"

The demon attacks him, but it is revealed that he attacked an astral projection of Seven, and Seven is hidden where the demon couldn't find him. Seven uses the bow and arrow to target the demon.

Seven: "Now unholy demon go back to hell where you belong, and you won't come back to this world!!"

He uses the bow and arrow; the arrow hits the demon and banishes the demon back to hell. A fire circle appears, and four arms are covered in blood taking the demon to hell.

Demon: "NO!! I WON'T GO BACK!! NOOOOO!!!!"

Seven: "Huh?!" He notices the bow and arrow vanish. "Looks like the five minutes are up."

Meadow: "You really are a future hunter. Shit..."

He still holds his arm where he got stabbed.

Seven: "Hang on I'll go get Piper!"

He went to get Piper who is still healing Christiana.

Piper: "Just give me another minute."

Christiana is completely healed and the wound on her is gone.

Christiana: "*gasp* What happened?"

Piper: "Well the usual a demon tried to kill you."

Christiana: "Oh."

Seven: "You need to heal Meadow."

They went to Meadow and Piper's hands glowed orange and healed Meadow's arm.

Piper: "Healing Sealer Sap!"

Christiana: "How's your arm?"

He looks up and notices her dress is strapless and sees that the dress is showing off the curves of her breasts.

Meadow: "Oh God..."

He has a nosebleed.

Seven: "I never thought that a vampire could have a nosebleed."

Henry: "That's because he's a huge pervert."

Meadow clears his throat as he blushes out of embarrassment.

Meadow: "Shut up!"

Seven: "Looks like I know why I was sent back to help you guys stop that demon. So that means I can go back."

Piper: "Why not stay for the wedding?"

Seven: "Oh um wouldn't it..."

Piper: "It won't affect the timeline for attending a wedding."

Seven: "Oh okay."

Back in the present Macy and Tom's heads stop hurting and their memories of Christiana and others are returning.

Tom: "I'm remembering my time with you guys."

Macy: "Me too! My memories are coming back."

Henry: "That means."

Christiana sees her hand is no longer fading away from existence and touches her stomach.

Christiana: "The little boy stopped the demon and sent it back to hell."

Zachary: "Thank God!"

Maria: "No kidding I was worried for a second there!"

Angel: "Does that mean that you can bring him back?"

Maria: "No he has to find another witch or warlock to send him back."

Back in the past, Piper notices Christiana and Meadow's wedding clothes have blood on them.

Piper: "Okay! Well, you two can't get married in blood."

She waves her two fingers down to use a spell to remove the bloodstains off of their clothes.

Seven: "Whoa! You can do that without saying the spell?!"

Piper: "I had three children during the Reuven Witch Trails and my fourth child in this era it was quite easy using a cleaning spell without saying it."

Seven: "The Reuven Witch Trials?! Um, I wanted to ask you a question but it would be rude to ask you how old are you."

Piper: "Let's just say that I used an age-stopping spell that only lasted about fifteen years after the witch trials but I stopped using it after meeting my second husband."

Seven: (Thinking) "That old?!"

They went inside the church and everyone sat down as Christiana and Henry walked along the aisle to the altar. As he walks her to the alter, he gives her away to Meadow.

Derrick: "Do you give this woman way to this man?"

Henry: "I do."

He sits down.

Seven: (Thinking) "I didn't think Henry would give her away I assumed this wouldn't happen."

Derrick: "We are all gathered here today to join this man and woman in holy matrimony if anyone has any reason why these two should not get married speak now or forever hold your peace. You may now say your vows."

Meadow smiles.

Meadow: "My love my darling mon chat* my love for you is eternal it's everlasting. I will love you no matter what even in death. If possible being reborn as different people I will find you and love you all over again. I will spend every last minute in this world as your husband and lover no matter how older you get as a human; I will stay by your side eternally."

*Translation: "My kitty."

Seven is shocked to see Meadow smile and Christiana blushes after hearing him speak in French.

Seven: (Thinking) "Holy! I wish I had a camera to take a photograph! I can't believe that Meadow is actually smiling! And Christiana is blushing?! I wonder why all of a sudden."

Christiana: "My love my darling my wolf beast I feel the same my love for you is eternal and everlasting. Darling, I will love you in death and the afterlife even if we were reincarnated in another life or another world. I will spend every last minute in this world as your wife your lover I will stay by your side eternally."

Derrick: "Do you Meadow take Christiana as your loving wife? In sickness and health for rich or for poor even in death for as long as you live."

Meadow: "I do."

Derrick: "Do you Christiana take Meadow as your loving husband? In sickness and health for rich or for poor even in death for as long as you live."

Christiana: "I do."

Derrick: "In this holy church in this sanctuary I pronounce you as husband and wife. You may now exchange the wedding rings." Christiana puts Meadow's ring on his ring finger and Meadow puts Christiana's ring on her ring finger. "You may now kiss the bride."

Meadow pulls her close to him and they kiss then he moves his hand on her butt and gropes her. Seven and Henry didn't look surprised but looked irritated by Meadow's actions.

Henry: (Thinking) "Pervert..."

Seven: (Thinking) "Of course..."

She slaps his hand off of her butt and they stop kissing.

Christiana: "Behave we're at a church."

He blushes and clears his throat out of embarrassment.

Derrick: "As we are all here to witness this matrimony on this day may we all bless eternal happiness to this man and woman on their journey to their marriage. Bless it be."

Henry: "Bless it be."

Piper: "Bless it be."

Seven: "Bless it be."

Afterward, Piper is preparing to chant the spell to send Seven back to his time. Seven is thinking about telling Christiana about what will happen to her in the near future, but he hesitates to tell her.

Piper: "I call upon the powers of the elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal! Within time and space and space and time! This boy Seven has been sent to this time by another witch! Send him back to his original time! Send him back to his year to 1850!"

The time portal appears then Seven finally makes his decision.

Seven: "Wait! Before I go, I have to tell you-"

Before he could tell her, she pressed her finger to his lips.

Christiana: "I told you before I don't want to know about my future."

Seven: "You deserve to know what happens-"

She lightly pushes him into the portal and the portal closes then the portal opens back to the present and he comes out of the portal where he was before he went back in time.

Christiana: "It's about time your back little boy."
