Leonardo And The Boys In The Human World

As the boys reach home Ellis opens the door and all go inside. Edward and the others come forward and Edward hugs Ellis. Ellis also hugs Edward back and looks at Leonardo and says, "Leonardo, meet Edward and Dorothy, they raised me. Joel, Denver, and Clive, my friends but brothers to me. Clive, is Ronan and Clive, they're also celestial beings. Sam and Fallon are werewolves and in Luke's pack. I didn't tell you there but, Luke is the alpha of the northeast clan. And, this (Taking her into his arm's stride) is Sandra. She's Luke's younger sister and mine as well. And, this is Jane, my Love, my unofficial wife."

Leonardo steps forward and says, "I'm Leonardo, leader of the bodyguard force of the ruler. Gaby, Joshua, Chris, Dovan, and Jewels are the members of the force. We are chosen to protect the ruler and you but, from today on everyone's protection is our priority."

Jane also wishes Leonardo and his boys a welcome home.

Looking at the boys and Clive, Sandra says, "Oh, god are you lost brothers or something."

Smiling, Ellis says, "Sandra, Clive, and the boys are celestial beings so obviously their features meet. But, Clive is human, these boys are pure celestial beings."

Smiling Sandra says, "Celestial beings, like from heaven. (going over to Devon, she touches his arm lightly with her finger) He's cold, Ellis this one has a fever."

Smiling Luke says, "Sandra, vampires are cold-blooded, that's why he's cold. Now, why don't you…"

Catching Devon's hand Sandra says, "Come on. Let's go to the kitchen. I'll make you some tea and then you see how your temperature gets better, by the way why are your eyes so crystal clear? Are you always this cold? Do you live in the clouds? Have you met angels? Are they beautiful, like my friend says? …"

Devon looks back at Leonardo surprised as he doesn't know what to do so Leonardo says, "Devon, remember she's Ellis's sister so be nice and protect her."

So, Sandra pulls Devon and goes towards the kitchen. Jane then comes forward and says, "Don't worry Sandra is a werewolf but a child as well. Devon is safe. Ellis, why not take the boys up while I and Dorothy get dinner ready."

Agreeing Ellis takes the boys upstairs. All enter Ellis's room. Denver gestures the boys to sit. Leonardo looks at Ellis so Ellis says, "Leonardo, no formalities. You all have to see me as a friend or else... "

"No no, everything will be as you say." says Leonardo "cause apart from us there are no other celestial beings capable to be your bodyguards, and with the underworld threatening, no chances."

"Underworld threat, as in?" asks Joel

Replying Gaby says "We don't know how much you know, but (a little hard in taking the ruler's name) El. Ellis (smiling Ellis says see that was easy) being the ruler will always be a target. Though Lona and Velorie are protecting the gates with their saber vampires, still we don't know when what can happen. And now and then they manage to make a portal hole but we managed to deal with it. The portal hole that Ellis dealt with was hard for us as it was the smuggler. We tried but Chris, Devon, and Jewel were badly hurt so we had to retreat. And when me, Joshua, and Leonardo came back, the land was free. We thought it had left on its own, we didn't know Ellis put it back."

Concerned Ellis asks, "Are you guys OK?"

Leonardo replies, "Chris and Jewel are fine, but Devon still hasn't recovered."

"What do you mean, not recovered," says Denver

"His wounds still need time. He's only twenty-two. That's why his healing power is not as developed as ours. We all are 24-25 years old. He stopped aging sooner but, he's stronger than any of us. The reason he's part of the force." says Leonardo

Concerned Ellis asks, "Do you guys have to often deal with the underworld beings?"

"Well, they do pop up now and then but that's what we are created for," says Leonardo

"Then you guys must be getting hurt often," says Sam

"Well, if you fight often, getting hurt is inevitable. So, yes now and then one or more from us is hurt but that doesn't mean we slack in protecting…" says Leonardo concerned about showing his and his boy's flaws.

"Leonardo, don't worry, relax. I'll never judge you guys for your abilities." says Ellis "But I am concerned. If you're going to protect me, your protection is my priority as well. Till Devon isn't completely healed, he's going nowhere. Jane and Dorothy will take care of him. And, you guys also will stay here till we all become brothers, OK."

Smiling Leonardo asks, "If I say, as you say, is that OK in brothers?"

Smiling Denver says, "You got a lot to learn. But for now, let's go to your room, so you guys can sleep. You do sleep, right?"

"Well, not altogether. Two of us stay awake on guard," says Leonardo

Smiling Ellis says, "Well, here you all can sleep. Don't worry you guys are not alone anymore. Luke and his boys might have to go home but I and Clive are here and Luke will come if needed…"

"Ellis, I'm leaving Sam here for that. I'll take leave now…" says Luke but Ellis says, "What? Jane won't let you go without eating."

Just then Dorothy calls so they all go down for dinner. Sitting down Ellis asks Leonardo and the boys what they want to eat, but before the boys could say anything Sandra says, "Ellis, I'm taking care of Devon, you can ask the rest (Devon looks helplessly at Leonardo to which Leonardo says, 'told you to be nice') On, Leo, I can call you that Nah, Leonardo is too big (she gestures with her arms) L. E. O. N. A. R. D. O, (she spells his name) Leonardo god, so done I'm calling you Leo from now on ('As you wish, ma'am' says Leonardo). Oh, he called me ma'am, no no I'm younger than all of you. I'm only 18 you know. You can call me by my name and oh oh Ellis, please tell Devon to call me by my name. He says being the ruler's sister he can't take my name."

Smiling Ellis says, "Devon, you can call her by her name, happy."

"Yes," says Sandra "Dorothy could you please serve some soup here and bread. ('Sandra, don't you feel hungry?' asks Luke) of course. (taking the bowl of soup and bread, she goes over to Devon) Ah, crystal eyes, your name please. (Chris says his name 'Chris') Oh, OK I'll remember from now on, could you please sit on my chair (Chris gets up), thanks. Here (keeping in front of Devon) you eat this soup and bread. Dorothy, please serve me here."

Smiling Denver says, "Devon god be with you."

After dinner, Luke says, "OK Ellis, I'll take leave. Sam is here in case. Sandra let's go."

Sandra says, "Go? Where?"

"Home!" says Luke

"Luke, Devon isn't fine. I can't leave him like this (Devon waves a no-no with his hands behind her)."

Seeing Devon, Luke says, "Sandra, mom is waiting for you and you know dad worries when you're not home. I'll take Ellis home to meet dad, then he won't worry about you staying here, till then please."

Getting sad Sandra says, "OK, Dorothy please take care Devon doesn't go out in the cold. And, give him only soup to eat…"

Luke comes forward and takes Sandra's hand and says, "Let's go, Devon is four years older than you. He knows better. And he's a celestial being, so I don't think you need to worry so much."

"What? Four years older, he's a kid, look at that face, does that look four years older than me. Honestly."

Honestly, Devon did look like a teenager but Luke knew he had to take Sandra home, for Devon's sake. Finally, Luke convinces Sandra and goes home with her.

Going back up Ellis says, "Devon, sorry for Sandra. She's a kid so…"

"Oh no. No, it's OK, it's my duty to look after her, it's just that (and all of a sudden he falls but Gaby catches him), sorry," says Devon

Ellis notices Devon's skin is quite pale so he goes closer and takes his hand and says, "Devon, vampires are cold but not celestial beings. You're too pale also, Leonardo, something you're not telling."

Being quiet for a bit Leonardo says, "Devon was attacked by a smuggler's silver arm. He's been weak since then and his wound is also not healing. We celestial beings heal very fast but I'm lost here."

"When?" asks Ellis

Replying Leonardo says, "We heard the legion vampires had attacked the castle and injured Lucifer so we came. But when we reached there a smuggler was there as well so we fought it. But before making it go into the portal, it attached Devon with its silver chemical arm. It's been a while now."

"Devon, where are you hurt? (Devon lifts his shirt to show the wound). Stay still, it might be hot. (Ellis places his hand on Devon's wound and closes his eyes. Light emits from his hand [Devon begins to feel the heat but sustains himself] and then disappears.) I can't heal you yet completely as I'm not the official ruler, some of my abilities are still raw, healing is one of them. But, you'll feel better and if needed be able to defend yourself. Rest I'll soon find a way to heal you completely soon, I promise."

Relived, Devon says, "Ellis, thanks I don't feel that much pain as I was. It's more than than I could ask for, honestly."

"God, why are you celestial beings so courteous. Clive, thank god you're a human," says Joel (to which Ellis tells Joel to not tease the boys) "Tease, Sandra was taking care of Devon like a kid, oh and Devon as far as I've got to know Sandra, she's not leaving you so easily."

Seeing Devon's worried face Sam says, "Devon, as long as you answer her questions, listen to her, and don't treat her like a kid, she's fine. Oh, and be careful with her hands ('Hands? Why?' asks Devon). She's learning how to remove her claws without transforming like Luke but instead, they come out when she's annoyed. Ours usually come out when we are angry or when we transform so, be careful."
