A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 830 I Canʼt Wait To See You Again Brother

[Michelle Bennettʼs POV]

Michelleʼs eyes widened, ʼʼWhat do I need to do?ʼʼ

The other woman handed a white medallion to her, explaining, ʼʼWhen this glows red, pour all your love into it, and Archer will appear, but he will be with a few guests, so prepare some rooms in your new house.ʼʼ

ʼʼNew house?ʼʼ Michelle commented as hope and happiness seeped into her body.

Tiamat nodded, ʼʼIf you want to be with him again, continue with your move to Florida and make sure you get an isolated place, as he will need a place to rest when he arrives.ʼʼ

ʼʼArrives?ʼʼ Michelle stuttered as she was in shock.

ʼʼYes, he will be in trouble and need a place to heal from his injuries.ʼʼ

After that, Tiamat said her farewells before vanishing just as Ellie rushed up to her and asked, ʼʼCome on, Mom, itʼs getting cold, and we need to unpack the boxes.ʼʼ

Michelle shook her head, ”Weʼre moving to Florida. Send a message to your brothers and sisters to see who wants to come along,ʼʼ she said. ʼʼNow, letʼs prepare.ʼʼ

Her daughter, looking shocked, nodded in agreement. After that, the Bennett family was busy for three weeks preparing to move to America. Michelle tried to convince her ex-husband to join them, but he wouldnʼt see them.

ʼFuck him, I tried my best to help him but the bottle is his mistress now,ʼ Michelle thought to herself.

Without him, they still left for a town in Florida called Rosemary Beach, where her sister lived and offered a place to stay until the family was set up. Weeks passed, and now Michelle was standing on a pier looking out at the Gulf of Mexico.

She looked at the medallion Tiamat gave her and thought about the whole situation, ʼHow can she know Archer will claim me? Iʼm an old woman and his mother. What has happened to him for his morals to change so much?ʼ

Shaking her head, she heard a voice behind her, ”Mom, what has made you so happy? I understand your best friend is joining us due to her and Alexia getting jobs in Orlando, but that shouldnʼt excite you this much?”

Archerʼs closest sibling in age, Ellie, approached while tying her chocolate brown hair into a bun. ”Itʼs like youʼre a wife waiting for her husband to return from war,” she remarked.

Michelle laughed at her daughterʼs words and tucked the medallion away. ”You might think Iʼm crazy and should be sent to a nuthouse, but I saw your brother. He was alive and well, even though he was in a different body,” she said.

ʼʼEllie, he was different, like a wild animal, which made my blood pump and lady bits get wet when I saw him,ʼʼ she revealed with bright red cheeks.

ʼI canʼt believe Iʼm attracted to my son! What the fuck is going on,ʼ she thought before turning to Ellie.

But when her daughter said nothing and stared at her feet, her ears were bright red. Michelle wondered what was happening, ”Whatʼs wrong, darling?”

Ellie shook her head but then stopped like she was thinking about something, ʼʼPromise you wonʼt think of me differently?ʼʼ she said.

ʼʼIʼve met him in my dreams, Mom,ʼʼ her daughter revealed with a shakey breath. ʼʼArcher has a harem of beautiful women that put anyone I know to shame in beauty, but he said he wanted me to be his woman, and then we made love in a beachside cabin, which somehow felt real.ʼʼ

When Michelle heard this, she was shocked but soon dragged Ellie to the nearby chairs while telling the story. The mother and daughter continued gossiping without knowing they were sowing the seeds of their happiness and Archerʼs.

[Ellieʼs POV]

The following day, Ellie lay in bed and thought about everything. After moving to Rosemary Beach, she was bored waiting to start at the local high school for two years until she started college in Orlando.

One day, she was sitting in her new garden, which wasnʼt far from the beach, and the weather was still too much for her. Ellie decided to walk to the local shop to buy a cold drink while her Mom was at her new job working for the local government, thanks to her experience in her field.

She walked out of the driveway after leaving the garden. Rosemary Beach was a quiet town, but there seemed to be many people her age, which she found odd because he aunt said it was mostly her late twenties and families that lived with her.

Ellie had only been here for two weeks and had already caught the localʼs attention. During one of her adventures with her cousins, a local youth initiated a conversation with her alongside the townʼs other young men and women.

Upon learning that she was British and had a notable accent, Ellie became the focus of attention among all the young men in Rosemary Beach, owing to her slender, athletic physique and supermodel-like features.

But she ignored all the flirting because she only had one person in mind. It made her feel wrong, but she couldnʼt just let go. Ellie had never been with a boy before, but that was different in her dreams.

While walking the memory of her most recent dream, Archer took her to a fantastical-looking beach hidden by a jungle. Large men and women in beautiful white armor guarded a cabin while others patrolled nearby.

Ellie shook her head and needed to sit down when she found a nearby bench halfway to the store she was going to. When she got comfortable, the dream returned to her like it had happened moments before.

She noticed a massive metal ship anchored in the bay. Other vessels sailed by and guarded the coast; when Ellie saw this, she wondered why there was military everywhere and where she was.

”Sister,” a honeyed voice said. They are our imperial guard. The commander drives me mad, but the soldiers here have stopped hundreds of assassination attempts, so itʼs justified to have them around.”

Ellie turned around only to see an extremely handsome young man who stood close to seven feet tall, forcing her to look up at him. She only came up to his chest, which allowed her to see his chiseled body.

Her eyes roamed over him, taking in the eight-pack and toned arms. ʼHe looks like a Greek god,ʼ Ellie mused, biting her bottom lip. ʼThis is Archer. Why did he have to be my brother? Itʼs unfair.ʼ

With that realization, her brown eyes widened in shock, and she finally spoke, ʼʼWe cannot do anything, Arch! Youʼre my baby brother.ʼʼ

Ellie watched his smile grow before he quickly moved and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as Archer replied, ʼʼI was your baby brother but no more, my beautiful big sister. I am a mix of two different Archers, the one from Earth and the one I was before I received my lost memories.ʼʼ

She looked into his eyes and knew he was lying. Before Ellie knew what was happening, she leaned forward and kissed him passionately. Archer carried her back to the cabin.

When the two entered the cabin, they stopped kissing, allowing Ellie to look at the inside and was shocked. It was beautifully decorated with a king-sized bed in the middle of the room, while a large window gave anyone looking a perfect view of the bay.

ʼWhy does my head tell me one thing but my heart another? I know itʼs wrong, but I want this so bad. Weʼve been so close since we were little kids,ʼ she mused while looking at him.

Ellie was shocked as Archer put her down and spoke as he ran his fingers along her cheek, ʼʼDo you want to become my woman big sister? No one will separate us once you come to Thrylos, and we can finally be together.ʼʼ

She grasped his hand, feeling the depth of his love for her. A childhood memory surfaced: Ellie had promised Archer they would marry each other when they grew up. It was a stupid kid thing, but it surfaced, and she couldnʼt help but think it may come true.

The recollection made her laugh and became cherished after he passed away. But the more she thought about it and looked at the current him, the more she finally persuaded her to make her decision.

Ellie threw caution to the wind and nodded, ʼʼI would like that little brother, or should I call you Archer, as weʼre not related anymore.ʼʼ

After speaking, she looked down, and a sinking feeling rested in her stomach. She didnʼt want to lose him as a brother. Thatʼs when she felt a hand on her chin that lifted her head, causing her heart to race.

Ellie saw his glowing violet eyes looking at her with so much love that it threatened to drown her. He spoke in a voice full of love, ʼʼWe can still be siblings but also lovers? And no one will challenge me if I take my sister as a wife. The vampires on Frostwood do it all the time.ʼʼ

She smiled when hearing his words before kissing him again, and she felt Archer fall onto the bed while they continued to kiss passionately, causing the two to get lost in each other as her hands roamed all over his body, and she felt his hands grab her behind.

As Ellie remembered the dream, she was shaken back to reality. She spotted her aunt Isabella and cousin Ruby standing there with radiant smiles, and the older woman spoke, ʼʼMy baby niece, what are you doing sitting out here alone?ʼʼ

She smiled when hearing her aunt and replied, ʼʼI was thinking about Archer, I canʼt believe its been a year since his murder.ʼʼ

Isabella frowned as Ruby stepped forward, ʼʼWe all miss him, El,ʼʼ she said. ʼʼBut the one thing he wouldnʼt want is for us to mope around in depression. Knowing that crazy boy, heʼs living his second life like a king.ʼʼ

Ellie giggled as she thought, ʼThatʼs exactly what heʼs doing.ʼ She looked into the afternoon sky and smiled. ʼI canʼt wait to see you again, brother. Itʼs notlong now.ʼ
