Once Upon A Time and Lara
James ruffled his wings impatiently. "Calla. Im right here. Please relax and wake up. Sam's life depends on it. Actually, her life and a whole lot more. Please calla, you have to wake up."
"Maybe there is a reason why she can't wake up?"She didn't hear what James said. She was exhausted mentally.
James looked up at Danny. "A reason? Like what?" He asked, looking back at calla. He knew that if they wanted to go to hell and find anything left of sam, they would have to leave soon.
"I don't know. I'm not the magic expert." He retorted.
James rolled his eyes. "And I am? Im a demon. Im not experienced in light magic. Just the dark stuff." He looked down at calla "im pretty sure she is in shock though. If she doesnt calm down soon and wake up, we're going to have to leave her here."
"No we will not leave her here. She needs you James. Did you try I using her?" He asked.Her dreams led her to a place. A place where James kept killing her. Screams escaped her mouth.
James looked down at her, worried. He placed his hand on her forehead, and closed his eyes, using his magic to calm her mind. He turned to Danny, not taking his hand away, "Using her?" he asked, completely confused.
"I mean kissing her." He whispered.She started to cry. "No please don't." She gasped for air. "Don't kill me."
James' expression darkened. "No. I didn't. Why do you think that would work?" He asked. He felt it was awkward to kiss her, as he felt like he had almost just met her in the span of his life, but he would do it if he had to.
"Because it always does. She's having a nightmare. Or maybe go into her dream and see what's wrong?" She kept screaming.
James sighed. He closed his eyes and entered Calla's dream, watching everything that happened. He walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her from behind before wrapping his wings completely around them both so that she couldn't see the nightmare. "Listen to me Calla." he whispered soothingly to her, "It's just a dream. You have to realize that to wake up.
She looked up at him. She was frighten. She buried her head in his chest. She felt safe. "Please make it stop. Please tell me that this is just a nightmare and you won't kill me." She whispered. She was frighten. Tears came down her face.
James held her gently and let her cry, the heat of his own body warming them both to the core. "Yes, it is just a nightmare. And no, I will not kill you." he said gently. It was true. He had no intention of killing her anymore. "If you want to leave the dream you have to truly understand that it is just a dream. Overcome the fear Calla and you will wake up."
She looked at him. "I'm not afraid of that. I'm more afraid of you leaving me. I can't lose you." She said. She felt safe. She looked at him again. Tears making tiny streams on her face. She needed him.
James sighed softly and nodded, his black eyes hiding whatever emotions he was feeling at that moment. "I'm not going anywhere." He said, his voice low. It only was low and rich when he was telling the truth.
She looked up at him. She stared in his dark eyes. She didn't want to show him the smile. "You know I don't care what you are. I know the James I love and care about is in there."
James watched her carefully. "That may be. But he is who I would have been if I had been born innocent, not knowing of the eternal struggle between good and evil. I know things I can not forget. They change my decisions, define who I am. As much as it would be nice to be the James you knew. The one bent of fighting for the good of the world, the innocent blissful boy you married, I am not that James." He said softly, his dark eyes soaking up her blue ones.
"Yes you are. No matter what you say that boy is in there." She whispered. She looked at him. "I believe you are good inside. I know you are. I still love you no matter what you did. I think your cute no matter what. I would fallen for you either way. Just because we are dark doesn't mean we have to be that. I know that too."
James sighed, not sure how to make her understand that he really wasn't the same anymore. Experiences changed a person dramatically. "You knew who I was." He said softly. He stepped back slightly so that he could spread his arms, raising his wings a little, "This is what I am now. There is no going back for me. No light at the end of the tunnel. Once a demon, always a demon. I'm this way forever." He told her, dropping his arms again. "People run from demons Calla, they don't fall in love with them. There is a reason for that. We aren't exactly lovable creatures."
She looked at him. "Then if tell me that you don't love me. If you don't I will get over you. I will throw this ring out." She looked at him. Her heart was shattering again. "I don't care who or what you think you are. I love you no matter what. If you don't believe that then you honestly need to take a look. That person who you were the one I know is in you."
James shook his head slowly, pinching his forehead. She really didn't understand. "You don't understand. You didn't fall in love with a real person. That was a lie, a disguise, a cover-up, a costume. Well, I took it off. This is the real me. The real, dirty, gritty, truth. What you see is what you get. This right here, is the real thing. I... am James."
"Oh ok I understand." She looked at him. She was fighting the tears now. She stared at him. "I understand. So do you want to get a divorce." She backed away. "I'm sorry that you don't understand how I feel." She kept backing away. Her heart was breaking. Before she could say something. She started to gasp for air. Her faced turn a deathly pale. She fell on the floor. Her pink gown on the floor. Her heart kept shattering over and over. The person who she loved was gone. She was a nobody. "I don't care I love you." She was gasping for air.
James was sad that she would react that way to what he really was. Regardless, he quickly spanned the distance between them in two steps and knelt down beside her. Her heart had shattered again, but he knew he could fix it, he had done it once before. He placed his hand over her heart, delving into the deepest part of him to find where his magic was strongest. He used it to heal the cracks in her heart. He may be confused about what he felt for her, but that didn't mean he didn't care about her.
She opened her eyes. "James." She whispered. "I'm sorry I don't care what you are. Can't you understand that?" She was staring at him. "I love you forever and always."
James smiled a little bit, the heat in his core growing the tiniest bit warmer. "I know." He said softly, helping her stand. "We should go back, we need to save Sam before..." He shook his head, not wanting to explain. "We just need to go to her, now."
She smiled and blushed. "Ok." She took his hand. "I'm not afraid." She whispered looking at him. "I would never be able to take the ring off. I know the one I love is in there because I believe in you."
James smiled a little bit before teleporting them back. "Thank you." He whispered, mostly to himself. He turned to Danny and Calla, "Because only demons can get into hell and leave again, I'll have to get you past the gates, but you're going to need disguises." He closed his eyes, changing both of their hair and eyes black, before giving them large black wings as well. "You can move those." He told them gesturing to the wings, "But they are an illusion, so don't try to fly with them." he said seriously, smiling a bit. "Ready to go?"
"You know you could of asked I know Hades." She said looking at them. "I mean it gets me in there but I don't know if he will let you in there Danny. I as queen can get access through the gods and goddess ways but I figure you don't mean that way. Danny you will not talk leave it to James.""Why can't I talk?"
"Is he being serious?"
James chuckled lightly. "Let me talk Danny, just as a precaution. And naturally I meant a different way. Even Hades himself would not go where we're going." He said with a mischievous smile. He held out his hands to them. "Hold on to me tightly and don't let go."
"Ok." He whispered rolling his eyes.She smiled a took his hand. I would never let goShe thought smiling. She was blushing. She didn't care who he was. He was cuter this way.
James grinned, both at her words, and because she was blushing. He held on tightly to them and unfurled his powerful wings. With one snap, they had lifted into the air slightly. He tipped his wings and flapped them again, this time sending them all shooting head-first towards the floor. James didn't even close his eyes as they shot towards the floor. Instead of hitting it, they moved right through and down into the earth. Everything was black and unrecognizable but he kept flying. His hands tightened around his friend's this was where it would be easy to lose them. Then suddenly a glow like a torch could be seen up a head. He swooped towards it, landing easily in a huge cavern. He grinned. This had been home to him for most of his life. Demons were everywhere. In front of them was a large river, and on the opposite bank a huge black gate, in front of which sat Cerberus.
"That thing is real." Danny whispered."So where is Sam?""This surprises you why?" She said. She looked at James. She let her wings flap. She looked at him not moving her eyes. She blushed even more. She couldn't help but like him.
James noticed Calla staring at him and he chuckled softly, winking at her. "Of course that 'thing' is real. And he's got a name." He said, snapping his wings to quickly fly over the river. Cerberus growled and snapped one of his head at him, which James easily dodged, swooping and landing on the back of one of his necks. "Missed you too bud. Been too long I guess huh?" He rubbed the dog's head and ears and it whined, lying down again. "I know, I know. But I wasn't expecting to be gone that long, or else I would have warned you." he said, his voice soft. He was the only demon in all of hell who Cerberus would not kill if he came too close. James kept petting the huge dog, looking up and motioning towards the gate. He was trying to send a clear messaged that they should pass through before Cerberus noticed them.
They nodded and went into the gates hoping that James would come quick. Wow he's even more of a flirt.She let out a small giggle at the thought. She was happy she had him. They made it far enough so the big dog couldn't catch them. Waiting for him. She was blushing. She couldn't help but."Wow so who do you like more this James or the other one."
"They are both the same to me."
"How does it feel to love he most powerful demon,"
"Shutup about. I don't care either way he's the same to me and cuter this way anyways don't tell him I said this."
James leaped off Cerberus and flew down to them, folding his wings at his back when he landed. "I heard that." he said, walking forwards on the path. "And I am officially offended. You liked my disguise just as much as you like the real me?" He shook his head, smiling a bit to himself. "Come on. We don't have much time." he said, gesturing for them to follow as he picked up the pace and began moving through hell. People were screaming on either side of the path, trying to claw at him, but he acted like they weren't even there. And I heard what you thought too. Is that a good or bad thing? He asked Calla, not even turning around.
"So do you want me to say I think you are way much better this way?" She said blushing. She looked at the path. She heard the screams. This was worse than the Scream movie. She shudder at the thought of that. She wasn't scared but then she had an idea. Well she was afraid but not that afraid. So if she acted the way more afraid then she did then he would have to comfort her. It was a good idea. A really good idea. Then she remember his words. He wasn't the same he claimed. She didn't care. She knew James was in there. "I have an idea where we are going." "Where?"
She looked at Danny. "Remind me to make Sam teach you magic 101 when we get back." She said smiling. "Well the only place where Hades can't go or any god or goddess not even demigods make it out alive Tartus. It's the place where all the demon,monsters and other creatures go after we kill them. Then in a few hundred years or more they regenerate. No one can make it out alive. Or let's say no one has made it out alive. "
"That's good to know but I'm more worried about how Sam will react to your demon or how about the other magic creatures."
"Well I don't care what they think. I don't care what the council thinks. We already need to get them about hunting the vampires without my or James permission. And I don't care who or what everybody thinks James is. My brother and parents obvisuouly knew. And I wondering if Sam did too."
"What are you going to do with an angry mob?"
"Well let me tell you this if anyone I mean anyone organizes a mob. I will call that treason. I'm sure James will agree with me. He is my husband and I don't care what he is. Do I have to keep saying this every time." She asked annoyed. "I love him no matter what."
"Fine I will stop nagging you. You just need to clam down ok."
"Calm down." She rolled her eyes. "James how long until we get to Sam. Because I can't take this with Danny's mouth or attitude any longer. "
"Yes, I do." he said, grinning in response to her first question. He listened in amused silence as she and Danny talked. Then he pointed after she asked how much longer. "Not long at all. There she is."He was right. Sam was not far off at all. A pole had been driven into the ground, and her wrists were tied to it in such a way that she was half sitting, half hanging by the ropes. She was unconscious as well, blood slowly leaking from a wound in her neck that had been put there to slowly weaken her. Being a vampire, she needed the blood they had slowly drained from her.
She felt that he thought it was funny. She smiled at him and blushed. She was still trying to hold back the tears. "There's Sam." She pointed out to them. She was nervous about the outcome. She was so confused. One minuet he liked her then the next minuet he didn't want to hurt her. And what hurt her most of all is that she believed all the words all the kisses they shared. She remember the last conversation they had. She didn't know if she loved this person. Her love was an allusion. She never had a husband. She never had anybody. Maybe it was for the best."Are we going got get her?"
James nodded. "Wait for me to take down the barrier." he closed his eyes, doing so. Something shimmered and rippled around her. James leaped into the air, flapping his wings a couple times before coming to rest beside her. He snapped her ropes and lay her gently on the ground. Touching her neck gently, he healed the wound. "We need to get her back and get some blood in her before she di-" he paused, frowning. "Change of plans." He placed a hand over Sam's heart, gently giving her some of his own blood to help wake her up. She shifted and groaned "Please don't hurt me..." She mumbled before opening her eyes.
"Sam did you eat anything?" James asked seriously.
Sam's smile disappeared. "I'm on the verge of death and that's all you can ask me? And what's up with the wings?" She asked, looking at all of them. "Oh.... disguises, right. Clever." she didn't know that James' wings weren't a disguise.
James frowned a little more, completely serious, "Did you eat anything? Tell me the truth."
Sam paused, "Well yeah... why?"
James backed up from her, huffing and running a hand through his hair, "Because you can't leave hell."
"Sorry Danny and don't laugh. I had a harder day." She smiled. "Wait I know someone who could take it off. The curse was for Persophone not Sam. That's what Hades used it for. I can get him to take it off. Then it would be fixed."Danny went over and picked Sam up. "Yeah Calla so would care to tell us what happened in between the time I called you and the last time we saw you." He asked.
"Later." She grabbed everybody and teleported them to the castle. "James this disguise won't get me in there. Can you um take this off."
James nodded, "Sure thing." he closed his eyes, removing both Danny and Calla's disguises. "So you plan to go talk to Hades?" He asked. Sam shook her head, "Someone care to explain what is going on? And why on earth did the demons want me? And James, why do you still look like a demon? It's not halloween anymore..."
"Yes I do." She smiled and flashed into a beautiful light blue gown. Her blonde hair hit her back. She had a little bit of makeup long. With a tiara and her diamond necklace. With glass slippers. "Sam come with me. Danny stay here with James. I don't trust talking to Hades.""James isn't coming?"
"You know why."
"Oh." He said nodding his head.
She flashed Sam into a light green dress that went with her hair. Emerald necklace with a tiara. "Before we go in I missed you so much. I been wanting to cry all day long. So I had a vision of someone killing James and we found out who. Then we went to his moms house. Which it turns out he doesn't have any parents. It turns out he's a demon and the dark one too. The one who was helping to kill me. So he turned human and lost his memories. And the James I know is gone. The last thing I did was kiss him and said I love you. He won't even kiss me. He says the only reason he's staying is because it's easier. So other than my day being awful. I figure out I don't have the family I thought I did. What made me mad was Josh and my parents knew the whole time." She said walking to the door knocking on it.
Sam just stood and stared for a moment, as it was a lot of information to take in at once. "So let me get this straight, he is a different person, because he got his memories back, and he is actually a demon, none the less the dark one?" Sam shook her head. "I'm really sorry about you losing the James you knew." She said gently, hugging her friend. "What are you going to do from here?"James sat on the bed, letting his wings flop behind him. He didn't know what to do from here on. He really had no idea.
"That's the thing. I have no one. He was my everything." She whispered. "I only cried once but I want to curl up into a ball and cry my eyes out. Because he doesn't love me anymore. It was stupid allusion and I was just a stupid girl who fell for it." She knocked again."So are you going to stay?" He asked.
Sam nodded. "I know how that feels. I have wanted to cry like that many times." she looked down. "Excuse me for saying this, but are you sure he doesn't love you anymore?"Hades opened the door. He had black spiky hair and black eyes. If he hadn't had the aura of a possible perv, he may have been handsome. "What?" he snapped.
James looked up at Danny slowly, his eyes giving away the pain he felt briefly. He hid it after a second, nodding slowly. "Yeah, I am. I owe it to you guys." he said slowly.
"I will talk to you about it later." She said looking up at Hades. "Hello Hades I'm Calla and you worked with my parents and my brother. Calla Talon or a Calla Lucas." She said smiling sweetly."You don't have to take pitty for us. I mean I understand it's Calla that will hit it hard."
Sam nodded. "Ok."Hades smiled, leaning against his door frame. His eyes traveled from Calla to Sam. "Hello darlings. What can I offer you?"
James shook his head, "I don't take pity on you." He smiled up at Danny, "You all can hold your own in a fight." He looked down again. "Staying is my own decision, I'm not doing it because I'm afraid of hurting you or something. I'm a demon. We don't have hearts supposedly." He smiled a little, but it wasn't real. "I'm staying for my own reasons."
"Well first off my dear friend here are some of your plants and I need to reverse the side effect." She said trying to stay clam and smile."Ok." He looked at him. "Calla is Sam's best friend so I care about her because Sam does and right now she's hurt. So if your going to use her as a pawn or mess with her feelings. I don't want Sam to get mad."
Hades scanned Sam up and down, causing her to fidget. He looked back at Calla. "She did, did she? What if I want her to stay here? I think I'll rather like her company."Sam paled.
James looked up at him, serious. If one of his demon friends had accused him of that, they would be missing their wings right now. James controlled himself however. "I had no intentions of doing either of those things. But thanks for expressing your opinions of me." He shook his head, looking down, "Just because I don't want to jump into a relationship with someone I feel I just met yesterday, doesn't mean I hate her, or want to mess with her. Regardless of what I've done in the past." he said, no humor in his voice. He was dead serious.
"Ugh come on Calla wake up."
