Innocence

~Chapter Fifty-Nine~

*many months later*

"Are you sure about this, Inn? Isn't it like, dangerous?"

I sighed and shook my head. I knew this was right. I knew it was safe.

"I have to go in there. I have to see him." I said and gave her a reassuring smile. She sighed and bit her lip.

"Anything you need, if you're in trouble or anything, don't think twice about calling me. Okay? I'll go in there even if I have to claw Death himself." Ginny said and I giggled at her fierceness. She gave me a small smile and fixed the hood over my head. "Be careful..."

I nodded and took Eros' hand. He gave me a cute small smile and then looked forward. His dark curly hair was all messed up and his dirty burnt colored eyes glowed as he looked towards the abandoned building not too far from us. He knew who was there. He knew what we were doing here. He was a smart kid... As his father was.

"I will..." I said and adjusted the white robe around my body. I held Eros' hand tightly and began walking towards it.

The place was like the last time I was here, haunted and spooky. Evil could be sensed in the perimeter and a chilly wind blew. The snow covered the ground, making it look lighter than what it really is. The full moon above light our way, but it was still dark. Darkness was surrounding us.. yet the moon still led us the way. Eros didn't seem to be scared. For being one, he sure is a brave little one. And that makes me very proud of him.

We reached the abandoned building and stood in front of the old wooden door. I thought about knocking, but decided I didn't need to. He probably sensed us here... he probably did. He always did. He always knew everything.

I opened the door and, as expected, it made a loud creepy creak. I shook off the goosebumps and walked into the abandoned building with Eros.

We walked through the corridor, all filled with vines on the walls and dirt on the ground. Rats were eventually heard and ran around, fearful and not expecting us. There were bones piled up in a corner and lots of weird creepy crawly things over them. I felt disgusted, but continued walking towards the staircase.

Eros and I walked up the old creaking staircase and dodged a few spiderwebs. Bats would eventually fly by and a crow was in the window above in the staircase. But I wasn't scared. Once I reached the top of the stairs, I didn't feel scared. Because once I saw those golden eyes shinning from the end of the room under the shadows of his black cloak, I felt secure; I felt at home.

"You shouldn't be here..." His voice echoed through the hall and made it's way towards my ears, making me smile.

I pulled Eros with me and we walked towards him. He just stood there, waiting for us. His black cloak covered his face, but his eyes shone brightly. Once I stood before him, I didn't doubt on throwing my arms around him and pressing my lips to his. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I felt him reach behind me and felt a smaller hand on my side. It was Eros. And that made me feel so great, having our family together.

Once I pulled apart, I stared into his shinning eyes. I couldn't see his face, just a shadow. But I didn't doubt on pushing the hood off his head. I didn't even flinch at his image. He looked dead... He looked drained. But he was still beautiful to me. He was gorgeous. The only livid thing that seemed to stay the same were his eyes, and they were still as hypnotizing as ever.

"We shouldn't even be living. So why not be here?" I asked and he chuckled. He pressed his lips to mine and then looked down at Eros. He smiled and I looked down as well. "I thought you would want to see him.."

He knelt down and reached for him. Eros didn't doubt on walking up to him and hugging him. Angel stood up and picked him up as well. He smiled at him and Eros giggled. Our family... so beautiful.
