chapter 104

I am not going to use pope Francis, please bear with me. And I have never ever been to the Vatican city so... feel free to move your head forward and raise an eyebrow. And the only thing on your mind should be ‘what is she writing?’

“I guess this is goodbye,” I said to Damien

“Harley, it doesn’t have to be, you could give me your number and we can keep in touch” as much as I would love to move on from Xavier, too many people’s blood was on my hand and he was innocent, I really didn’t want to cause him loss for what he was not aware of.

“I don’t have a phone” he frowned deeply

“I think we should say goodbye then, I could give you mine”

“No time sorry” I walked into the Sistine chapel, leaving him behind, you are cold-blooded, it is for his own good. I walked to a sister who was directing people.

“Good afternoon sister, I need to talk to a parish priest” she raised her eyebrow, well...

“Good afternoon miss, you can go straight ahead and beyond the first door on your right you will meet with father Vincent”

“Thank you very much” I followed her direction and after knocking the door I entered quietly.

“Good afternoon father, I need to speak with you” hopefully I am not wasting my time talking to this guy about the golden dagger. I walked forward as he waved for me to, then I settled in the chair.

He had a lot of Christian books on his desk it made me wonder if he had read all of them.

“How may I help you,” he asked

“I came to talk to you about this” I brought out a picture of the golden dagger of Camari. His eyebrows furrowed and he looked at me

“How do you know about that?”

“I am engaged to marry the future prince of hell, Xavier” he was taken aback

“What are you doing here then?” The priest asked with his eyebrows slightly narrowed at me.

“I need the dagger to kill him”

“Sorry I cannot help you with that” What, why

“Why not”

“You have to talk to pope Caleb” pope Caleb

“Am I allowed to see him?”

“For this? of course” he got up from his seat and I followed his to presumably ‘Pope Caleb’s’ office. There were men dressed in black and had red sashes around their waist. The office was somewhat huge.

“Good afternoon pope?” I said “I have come to talk about the golden dagger of Camari”

“The golden dagger of...” he looked at the priest that led me to his office.

“She is to marry the prince of the underworld sir and she claims that she wants to kill him with it”

“Exactly”

“We cannot give you the dagger,” The pope said, WHAT. after I have come so far and endured bathing with cold water for three days

“Why not?” tone it down you are talking to the highest pope in the world.

“Because we cannot trust you to be on our side, you have probably come to take it to them”

“So you mean I have to marry Xavier?”

“No, that is not what we are saying. We are saying that we cannot give you the dagger as it can only stab one person and be effective”

“Will you do it yourself then, I can give you all the information you need”

“Of course, tell him everything. I have a meeting now” I was led out of the office. My plan is finally piecing together and I would soon be free from Xavier, no Xavier meant no ruler of the demon realm.

"Meredith” I called, I was lying on the motel bed with my hand up in the air for no apparent reason, the pixie light was laying beside me on the bed and I was ready to go back home.

“Meredith” this time in my mind.

“Did you get the dagger child?” she asked

“No, they said they will not give it to me because they don’t trust me so I gave them information on how, when and where to find Xavier”

“Good girl, Winter?”

“Yes?" I asked her

"You know that the wedding and coronation cannot go on without the queen and bride right” is she saying what I think she is saying?

“Where are you going with this, Meredith?” I want to be sure what she is implying is not what is on my mind right now.

“You need to break the pixie light and let Xavier find you so the wedding can go on, dear”

“But he already married Antonia as his queen she should be his bride on his coronation day”

“He did not go ahead with the plan so you must break the pixie light” Fine, I took the pixie light and threw it at the wall, why does my life have to be so complicated why do I always have to go back to him, WHY ME?.

I have been staring at the ceiling for close to three hours now waiting for Xavier to come and pick me up but he hasn’t come, so he really wasn’t looking for me, I felt my heart break inside well I guess I would have to go to him by myself.I dragged out of bed, I was going to walk all the way to the airport and pay for a flight back to new york.

*******************************************

Getting out of the plane and hailing a cab wasn’t hard for me because I only had one thing the brown satchel I carried all my stuff in.

“Where are you going to miss?” the cab driver asked, where am I going?

“I am heading towards the mountain and I only have ten bucks with me so take me to ten bucks towards the mountain” he nodded

Turns out that ten bucks don’t really take you far in new york but then my beauty so... the taxi driver was still driving till forty dollars and he agreed to take ten dollars from me, If Xavier won’t find me I will find him in the cheapest way possible. I got out of the cab and after waving over enthusiastically at the driver whose mouth was hanging open I started my run up the mountain.
