"Where are we?" Rayvon whispered and clutched onto Luka's warm hand.

They couldn't see anything, it was too white.

"I think... I think we died" Luka said but this made their hearts thump in their chests. "I think we're in heaven."

The boys looked around. It was misty and bright but their souls felt like they were floating.

They felt very carefree.

"You're very wise," A voice said behind them, making them jump and quickly turn.

An old woman stood before them. She was dressed in a white knee-length dress with a white cardigan. Her grey hair was pulled up into a ponytail.

"Who are you?" Rayvon questioned. He didn't realise he was staring at the elder angel who gave Vinny a second chance when he accidentally killed himself.

"My name is Angelette and I am an elder angel."

She had a proud expression as she watched the boys. But they were very special guests.

"So we are in heaven," Rayvon said and glanced around again. He didn't know what he expected but it wasn't this. "Did we die?"

"Yes. The power you unleashed to close the tear and save heaven was phenomenal. But unfortunately, it was too much for your bodies to handle. You made a brave sacrifice. Just like Scarlet Vondrak" Angelette said. "Although, she should've gone to hell, but we saw good intentions in her in the end."

"Are we going to remain dead?" Rayvon asked. "And wait... did scarlet die?"

"Yes, and yes" The angel sighed. "But we will never stop being grateful for what you did for us. You saved the angels."

Luka and Rayvon glanced at each other. They have just gone through all of that and died. Surely, they should get a second chance too?

"We saved heaven. Can't we just get our lives back?" Rayvon asked. He was going to be blunt because he thought it was pretty unfair. They did just save heaven after all.

"You remind me of your father. He likes to use that tone too" Angelette said and crossed her arms. She then sighed again like she was weighing up her options. "Okay, I'm going to give you both a wish. This could be anything. It could be to bring your lives back or someone else's. It could be to give someone their biggest desire. It can be anything you want but you only get one each."

* * * * *

"Is it over" Corey whispered to Panuleon who was holding him tight.

"Yes, but- but" The angel knew.

He knew Rayvon and Luka were lying over there without an inch of life left in them. He knew the power had killed them but he was about to break down and he needed to tell his husband first.

"But what?" Corey asked. His hands were beginning to tremble. He just read his mind but he wanted him to say it out loud.

"The kids" Panuleon whispered with watery eyes. Everyone was staring at him. "They didn't make it."

The angels and the vampires glanced over at the boys who lay in the snow.

Everyone who was in the garden was either injured or starting to clean up the mess.

Madison covered her mouth with her hand.

Oliver and Vinny were hugging across the field, unaware that their child had died.

"They can't be," John said as his eyes also started to tear up. "Surely, what they've just done for the angel's deserves a second chance."

But Corey wanted to see for himself and sprinted towards his son. Panuleon had no choice but to follow.

Oliver pulled Vinny's head from his shoulder and forced him to look in his direction.

"It's okay, we'll get through this. The war has finished now, the kids have done it" He smiled and wiped away his vampires tears. "We'll honour Scarlet's death. She did it for you, don't you dare feel guilty about it because it was her choice."

Vinny nodded and took a breath to calm down.

Oliver was right.

But before he could say anything, there was a heartfelt cry from Corey as he gripped Luka and pulled his lifeless body into him.

"My son!" He sobbed as the tears streamed down his face.

Panuleon couldn't hold back his break down and hugged his son and his soulmate while the tears fell. He was trembling and wanted to be sick.

Vinny and Oliver looked in their direction but the blood drained from their faces.

Everyone watched as they slowly got to their feet.

"Rayvon?" Oliver questioned. He felt like he was going to faint.

Vinny knew what had happened by Corey's reaction.

He grabbed his soulmate's hand as they ran over. This could not be real.

The family continued to watch while they collapsed in the snow next to him.

Oliver shook Rayvon while Vinny checked his pulse.

But there wasn't one.

"Oh god," He breathed and put a hand over his mouth.

Oliver's bottom lip trembled while he called his son's name and shook him again.

"Vinny, why isn't he waking up?" He whispered. "Why isn't he waking up!?"

Vinny was frozen. He couldn't think or say anything.

This is not how it was supposed to be. They can't outlive their child, that's just not fair.

"Rayvon" Oliver cried and hugged his lifeless body. "Please wake up!"

Jed couldn't stand this.

He turned and buried his head into John's shoulder and let his own tears fall.

Everyone's hearts was hurting as they shared a mourning process of their own. They didn't think this would happen.

Not the children.

* * * * *

Now that the boys have been given this opportunity, they couldn't help but think about everyone else and what they needed.

Luka had one thought come to mind but he wanted to discuss this with Rayvon. They only get one wish each and it was very important that they get it right.

"How desperate are you to get your life back?" He asked quietly.

Rayvon glanced down at him but he was thinking about his dad. He had lost his sister and now, he had the opportunity to bring her back.

"What are you thinking?" He asked Luka who was chewing the inside of his lip.

Angelette stood back to let them decide. She was interested to see what they would wish for.

"Well," He thought. "Corey lost his parents a long time ago. It would be amazing for him if I could bring them back."

Luka knew Panuleon lost his parents too, but Corey took it ten times harder than him. Plus, the angel had Zachariah and he was basically a father to him.

Rayvon actually felt warmth in his chest.

"That's so thoughtful."

"Would it be okay to use my wish on that?"

"Of course it would, it's your wish Luka, it can be anything you want it to be."

But Rayvon now understood that he had two choices. Either give himself and Luka their lives back or give Scarlet her life back.

"Oh, by the way," Angelette said. "I can hear your thoughts."

The boys nodded, knowing that there was no point trying to discuss it in secret, she was already judging them.

Rayvon then thought deeper about it.

Scarlet was just starting to put things right in her life and it was taken before she had the chance. Vinny has never had a sister that cares about him and he believes that if he brings her back then his dad will get the opportunity to experience that.

Also, Kyran didn't deserve to die.

He and Luka watched each other. They would happily give up their own lives for others and it shocked the elder angel.

She thought they would choose to get back their own lives and wish for wealth or something similar.

But no.

"I wish to bring Corey Taylor's Mother and Father back to life," Luka said to the elder angel, making her nod.

"And I wish to bring Scarlet and Kyran Vondrak back to life."

She married into Kyran's family, therefore, she took his last name.

The elder angel glanced between them.

"Your wishes have been granted. But, I'm surprised. Why did you not wish for your own lives back?" She asked.

"Because we were born to win this war. That's the only reason why we were alive in the first place. Also, we think it'll be nice for our parents to get something good out of our deaths."

Angelette shook her head and smiled.

"You boys are really something else," She said. "I gave you the opportunity to live again and you thought about everyone but yourselves. I think that in itself deserves a second chance."

Luka squeezed Rayvon's hand but they didn't want to assume she was giving it to them.

But she was going to confirm how grateful she was.

"So, I'll give you a second chance. It's the least you deserve after helping us with the war."

Rayvon couldn't describe how overwhelmed he felt with happiness and gratitude.

"When you wake up, only then will your wishes come true" She smiled before stepping forwards and taking their hands.

"They can't be dead," Zachariah said and held onto Duke. He had no soulmate to comfort him. Jenny was still thousands of miles away and out of any danger.

Everyone was so shocked by this, they were refusing to believe it.

As Vinny, Oliver, Corey and Panuleon cried over their children, something extraordinary happened.

They started to breathe again.

But they were so caught up in their sorrows that they didn't notice.

"I can't live without him" Corey sobbed while he cradled his son in his arms. Everything was flashing through his mind.

He thought about the day of his birth. It was the happiest day of his life. He then thought about when he was a cute toddler and how he used his wings to help himself stand up.

Oliver was thinking about Rayvon's cheeky personality and every happy moment they have ever shared together.

But the angel then detected a heartbeat as he was gripping onto his son.

He pulled back immediately with wide eyes.

Corey looked at him through his tears.

"He's breathing," Panuleon said and laid him down quickly so he could check his pulse.

Vinny heard him and pulled away from Rayvon so he could check him too.

And sure enough, his heart was pumping again and his lungs were filling with oxygen.

"Oliver," Vinny said and gripped his soulmate's face. "He's alive!"

Everyone else watched with shock.

How?

Did they get a second chance from the angels?

Right now, nobody actually cared. They were just filling with relief.

The kids could now live to see their victory.
