Trembling body, hard to breath and heart palpating. I drank again another cold water to soothe my emotions. Relax. Breathe in and breathe out. I have been doing that for minutes. I glanced at Davin who is better after ten minutes. I think he is ready to kick too. Marissa has been massaging my palms and then my head and my nape together with my shoulders.

"That was crazy." I mutter. Davin looked at me with cocky smile.

"I didn't expect it too." He told me.

"Wait! Before you guys sing Keep Holding on, can you at least tell us what you saw? These things makes me crazier than both of you." Andrew asked who look really worried. "I am not trying to be Adam Sandler but, seriously, just spit it out. Everything. Oh, I wanted a detail." Before I was about to speak, he raise his palms facing me to stop. "Wait! Hold on, brother." He glance behind him. "Clarence! Get the chips and hurry up! Don't be so pussy!" I don't know what to do with my brother. I have this feeling like I wanted to smother him.

Clarence came running with tacos and give Andrew a bowl sitting beside Andrew as they start munching taco chips.

"So, you can speak know."

I sign and started talking and talking while they are listen and eating. Damn, they look like watching theater or listening a ghost horror story. He even cuss. No. Both of them cuss. I am started to think that they are brothers than I and Andrew.

"Is the Goddess beautiful? The Goddess of Fire?"

"Of course all of them has exceptional beauty in their own. I am just quizzical on why they has almost the same features with Adhiti."

"Something is missing." Andrew utter. "Where's the Goddess of Water? I mean, basically, it shows the death of three Goddesses. Fire, earth and air. What happened to the Goddess of Water? Oh, and if there's another Goddess, who is she?"

"Well, you see, Princess Amanda known as a Goddess because when she was born everything is back to normal. And there's no show of the Goddess of Water-whatsoever."

"We should asked your parents about that." Marissa suggested that is the genius idea. That's why I gave her a kiss on her cheek that both Clarence and Andrew throw us taco chips.

"Why are you guys disgusted, as if you never kiss a girl in front of us?" Davin said. I pick the taco on Marissa's lap and throw it on my mouth.

"He's right." I agreed with Davin. They are doing disgusting things that I and Marissa are showing, how could they just throw us tacos as if we are disgusting.

"You suck-face with the dead girl few weeks ago and you," Davin pointed his forefinger to Andrew. "I saw you in my dream grinding on some pretty girl."

We all gapes on what Davin said. Are there things that I haven't saw yet on his dreams? I mean, come on! I enter his mind. What else that I don't know?

"H-how many?" Andrew asked.

"Clarence, get ready." Andrew mutters. Which, I guess I know what they are up to. In a quick motion, Andrew and Clarence set aside their food and Davin scrambles on the sofa jumping off and running off as Andrew and Clarence are after him.

Marissa and I kept on laughing on how childish they all look. Davin was really fast until they are all running on the kitchen and simply cornering Davin. I stood and took their bowls and started eating with Marissa while watching them. She lay on my arms and leans on my chest while chewing the tacos. I smelled her hair. It smells like orchid with vanilla. I kissed the top of her head and gently circles my hand on her tummy.

I heard my parent's car and Davin is running out the house. I heard my mom's voice totally screwing Andrew. Dad enter the main door greeting us.

"Andrew! Your chips are around!" dad shouts. "So something good happened?" he asked throwing his keys on the porcelain bowl, and while he is removing his coat I told him what happened.

"Well, I and Davin just tour back to tragic history of the three Goddess."

My dad seemed stop for a while. My mom enters the foyer together with the three guys and their groceries. There's lots of bags and boxes seemed like a fiesta to me. My mom look at me and to Marissa.

"You seemed pale, dear." I nod at her.

So while Mom and dad are cooking for lunch together with Marissa, I started telling them on what happened. Of course I am with Davin. While Clarence and Andrew are cleaning the couches and the living room with a noisy vacuum cleaner.

"Y-you saw our Adhiti?" my mom stop from chopping. I can feel her loneliness from her tone.

"Yes, mom. I saw her. She witness the assassination of the white Princess. I saw the man who erase the mate of the Goddess. He has a symbolic tattoos and…"

"There's the young Eliza."

"Eliza?" my father asked. "I am certain that Eliza hasn't born when the Goddess of Air died."

"But, father, I really saw young Eliza there. She's there."

"How is that impossible? Eliza and Nick are at the same age and those times, Nick hasn't born yet."

"This is making me crazy." I and Davin said at the same time. My father told me to continue. After I tell him everything, together with Davin, he told me only one thing.

"The Goddesses died alone. That is written on the history. There's no witness."

"What about the death of the Goddess of Earth? Flame was there. He was devastated."

"Both the twin died at the same time." My dad explain briefly.

"Why do we have Goddesses in the Insideworld?" Davin asked. Good question.

"Do you know Jesus of Nazareth?" my dad asked him and we nods. "The same answer. However things are different. Our Almighty God that has known for many names, he sent down his daughters to protect his creation. Before they even build their Kingdom's the Goddesses are always with them. So when Abyss the evil God of torment, trespasses and keep stealing souls to bring it to his evil world, the Goddesses asked their father to send them down to show people faith, love, mercy and that their creator exists."

"One thing dad, mom. I hope that you all won't get crazy but, the Goddesses has almost the same feature of Adhiti."

They both stop from what they are doing. My dad even dropped the tomato that he is holding.

"For us to be all certain, do you have the portraits of the Goddesses?" Davin suggested.

"Y-yes… it is on the basement."

"I don't know why my vision showed the flashback. I am certain that all that showed on my vision are always the future."

"It is because, the God wanted to show you on what really happened to our Goddesses." My mom spoke. "I had lived long enough back to the Insideworld and I saw how chaos took the happy towns."

"We saw how people starve and died one by one because of the death of the Goddesses." Dad added. I am still confused on why they didn't show the death of the Goddess of Water. Beside of the death of the Goddess of the Water they showed me to the Kingdom of Psyche.

"How did the Goddess of Water dies?"

"Her name is Serina." My mom told and faced us. "It was said that she died in loneliness, cause of the death of her sisters. But I believe that it is not just the death of her sisters." She took the small knife and slices the carrots. "It is the betrayal of her lover."

"H-how?"

"It is what my father told me since he's a sailor. Inside the Kingdom, there's someone there that are the mastermind of their deaths."

"What are the purpose of the Goddesses beside of balancing the light and darkness?' Davin asked. Again, he's a genius.

"Their purpose is to give a gift to someone who deserve enough to Protect the Insideworld."

After our lunch, we all headed to the basement again. Which fascinate Davin and Clarence. They don't have dark motives so I am sure of that. My father show us the portraits of the Goddesses in an old scroll. He put it on the long table and there is the same signature on each portraits. I touch the scroll and it is made of abaca and I can't determine what else. As we examine each of them, they have all similarities. The Goddess of air and earth are twins. Their face are almost alike at each other in weird way but each of them has an exceptional beauties.

"You are right. Each of them has a feature of our Adhiti." Dad pull another scroll and it is Princess Amanda. Mom put down the big smiling picture of Adhiti from two years ago.

"Maybe it is a coincidence. Since Princess Amanda is her biological mother. Does this mean that Princess Amanda is another Goddess that was sent by our Almighty God?" I asked.

"Yes, son. Princess Amanda was considered a Goddess, however, she never said that she was."

"Does this mean…" Davin prolongs looking at Princess Amanda to Adhiti. "Uhm, Adhiti's biological father is Marcus." Oh, he blurted it out. My mom gasps. "I mean, on my vision, I saw her," she pointed Amanda. "with Marcus and they have this sparks between them and vowing their love at each other." These things are getting, intensive.

"Oh sweetie. Adhiti has been with Marcus all this time." My mom falls into tears. "She never know. We need to let her know. If we don't, both of them… all three of them will suffer." Andrew wrapped his arms around mom and comfort her. I saw my dad trying to control those tears.

We are all hurting. My heart was squeeze with a juicer right now trying to drain the blood. It will hurt Adhiti a lot. I should've been with her and protect her. We should've been protecting her. I don't know what else will happen. We should tell Adhiti the truth. That her real parents loved her so much and they both wanted her. But it seemed impossible for them to be all together as a family, where lots of evil wanted to kill them.

We just slipped off the subject and I told Davin that it is alright that he said it. We are all surprise and he shouldn't blame himself. The truth is, we are all relieve and happy for everything that we witnessed because of him. We can save the whole earth, both the outsideworld and insideworld.

My father tell us the brief history of the Goddesses where Odisse the Goddess of Fire is the first one who comes down into the earth to fight the darkness. Dad showed us an angel. Well that's what I describe. He's muscular tall and look gigantic with big wings and with claymore and he have a spear too with a wings design on the middle. He's is the Guardian of the Goddesses, Luther. Odisse gave a gift to the Good King of Pyr Tarkus's first born the crown Prince Argon, the light of darkness which is an affinity of fire and to be unburnt. She wasn't conceived by any people in insideworld. She come down on her own by a consent of her father.

The second to be born was Serina who comes out like a giant human from the ocean and shifted herself in the human size and lived by the waters and can shift in any kind water animal. She granted a gift to King of Hydōr of an affinity to the water, when he saved her from the children of Abyss (Abyss is the god of Torment who is an Evil God). Half of it was a simple test for the King if he was as brave and with a kind heart who is full of wisdom and faith.

The third among them, was a twin but born from different parents. Aryanna Ueri Jaze, was born at the night when the wind whisper's on their ears about her arrival. She was a miracle baby of the King on his first wife. She has an older half-sister, her father impregnate one of his mistress to seek for heir or heiress. But then, she become the Crown Princess and the next heiress on the Throne of Aer. She gave a special gift to her father and mother, a gift to control the air and wind, also she gave her loving sister a gift to control the air.

She was wise and her mind already know what she is, and what truly she is. A Goddess of Air and Wind. And she is the Kingdom's Goddess. She fall in love with the Foreteller Heir Calixe Fiel on the Psyche Festival and they vow their love for everlasting. But a tragic thing happened. Just a day before her wedding and her coronation as the next Queen, she was assassinated on the middle of the winter forest together with his mate who almost died in the cold winter. Calixe cannot remember anything and even the elder's believed that part of his memories was blocked by some spell.

On the same night where Aryanna was born, Zoeira Klaite was born. Through the song of birds and opening of the buds of flowers on that night. Zoe was wise like Aryanna. She knows what she is when she was born and she choose to be born on the night together with her twin. She wasn't the daughter of a King but a daughter of a warrior and a lady. She was also called a Goddess of Wisdom and Earth. When the King visited her, she was just two years old back then, she gifted him an affinity to the earth, to barrow a strength and power to heal and to help fight the darkness. Since the King is mate-less and no heir, she also gifted him a recognition to find his soul-mate.

And on the same festival in Psyche, the twins together with their sisters Serina and Odisse, meet together with their Guardian Luther. They knew that they are sisters and was sent by their father to give peace. Zoeira Klaite who is wise and full of wisdom and also a mystery on men's eyes, found her soul-mate, the Prince of Pyr Flame. He was full of humor and he was known as a Casanova. Zoeira didn't took all of his compliments and sweet words and Flame try hard just to get her and it did. They vow their love at each other.

And just what I saw on the visions of Davin, she died on the exact same time and day together with her twin. I encoded fast on my laptop about the real death of the Goddesses just right to put it on the history if ever I enter the Insideworld.

We heard a familiar engine of car outside our house and we all exited the basement. It is then we realized that we've been there for hours. It was Marcus and we welcome him warmly, he brought some of ingredients and told us that he wanted to overnight. I think I read his mind. Something is off.

When are all settled on the living room, I asked him on what is really off from him.

"Well, I woke up and someone warned me on my dream. I just feel like, I need to protect you guys." He said spreading his arms.

"From whom?" I interrogate him. No! I cannot believe his thoughts. "We need to leave." He immediately stood. "Marissa!" I called.

"I am not sure, about it." Marcus told.

"What's wrong?" Marissa asked as she put fresh fruits on the table.

"We are leaving this place." I run upstairs to grab passports, and few clothes and my protection. A dagger and a sword that my father gave to me. My mom asked me on what's wrong. "We are all in danger. They are going to took Marissa away." I stopped when someone caught on my eye on the window, outside. A silhouette of a person with a hood and then I saw Andrew outside looking at it too. Her hands glows in green and she let go of some magical bird directly to me.

They are coming. Female voice warns me. Andrew run to the girl and I didn't got time to pack clothes. I just took my coat and Marissa's.

"They are coming!" I said it loud for them. And they all get this frantic actions and even Davin and Clarence are getting ready. I told them to hide on the basement but they did not. They took few swords from dad. Dad is talking with someone on the other line and they are attacking the house of Gregory.

I fish the keys and took Marissa's hand as we run outside. Andrew was running too and he immediately took the bow and arrow from mom. Marcus opens the trunk of his car and took his sword. It is gleaming on the moonlight and I have to say that his claymore is fifth century like. Still it is awesome. However, I don't need to admire it.

I took my car and my father took his with Andrew as they all went to the house of Gregory. I drove my car really fast until we are on our private driveway. We need to be on the town away from them. I took Marissa's hand and it is cold and shaking. I kissed it.

"I love you and I won't let them took you."

"I love you, Patrick. With all of my life."

"Hang on." My speed increases as we passes their house. My dad was just behind us and turn his truck to the direction of Marissa's house. I press the honk seeing few people on the middle of the street.

It was normal people but they are taller than I expected. They have spears and shields blocking our way. If I hit them, Marissa and I might not survive on the impact. I don't want to lose her that way. I pull the gun beside me. I have been keeping it in this kind of situation. I aim my left hand and pulls the trigger and hit the center guy. I stop the car and look directly on their eyes behind those metallic helmet.

They are not going to leave even one of them is hurt. They are walking directly to us without hesitation. I was baffled as Marissa when there's an arrow hit them and they covered their selves with their shields. I glance behind me and saw the car of Marcus. I immediately turn my car to forest. No matter what, I need to escape. I let Marcus handle it.

I relax my nerve from the abnormal pumping of my heart. I don't know what happened next. I should've bring Marissa out the country. I should've bring her to Paris for my proposal. I immediately hit the brake when a gigantic bear is in front of us. I breathed and hold Marissa's hand that are shaking. We are surrounded.

"Surrender the daughter of the King, human!" a deep voice that sent chills around me and makes my hair stood triggers my fear. "Take the girl and don't hurt her. Kill the human."

Marissa slipped her hand off me. I looked at her, confused.

"I don't want you to die." She cried.

"No." I shook my head. "I am not going to die, baby."

They started breaking the glass of my car. I told Marissa to duck down and I started the engine again and move my car back really fast. Some guy in a supernatural strength, had blocked my car and they started invading my car. Marissa can't help but to scream. I remove her seatbelt and I removed mine.

"Ricky…" she whispers and I took her into my arms. "I am afraid." I remove the glass from her hair and I gently planted my lips on hers.

"Survive for me. I love you…" I wiped her tears and embraced her. God, I hope that I can do something with this. I pushed the door and took my sword ready to fight them.

There's a swift attack and I immediately fought them with my sword. Since I had also read their motions, I had killed two of them by slitting their throats. I heard Marissa screams and when I turn at her, I lost focus. They had break my car and they pull Marissa. I felt pain on my right thigh that makes me lose my balance and dropped my knees.

"I am coming with you!" she screams. "Just don't hurt him."

"No." I shook my head. A man in those green clothing and golden armor stood in front of me, pulling his golden sword. I look at Marissa, getting myself ready for defend.

"Please!" she pleaded. It pains me that she has to plead. I put my weight on my sword. An arrow hit the golden armored man on his neck and he falls in front of me. When I get a chance to stood and face them, they dragged Marissa away.

"Marissa!" I focus on running to her but a very hard thing hit me from my back and my face and chest falls down on the ground. My head in pains and my vision are twirling. I cannot see Marissa but I can hear her screaming. I tried to fight the pain and focus on reaching her, though I know, I can't.

I love you… she speaks on my mind.
