Black stops dotted my vision as my eyes opened to look around, but I shut them tightly to block out the bright light that flashed in my eyes. Ems? I heard my brother in my head. You have any idea where they locked you up? Or why Cass or Uncle Gabe haven't saved you yet?

Ugh. I'm guessing because they don't know, dumbass. If they knew, do you think these fuckers would still be alive? Also, how long is it gonna take you to save my ass for the first time ever? I said to him exasperated. Easy, sis. I'm coming, I promise. I'm almost there. Just lemme stab this son of a bitch and I'll be opening that door in front of you. I love you. The last part was quiet and I think it's because we don't say that often to each other, like we say that to our parents a lot, not to each other though.

Till the stars stop shining, little brother. Even if he didn't reply I could feel him smiling. 'Till the stars stop shining.' It's a phrase our family uses immensely, Alex and I came up with it due to our fascination with stars.

Flashback

11 year old Gersemi and Hnoss were lying down in a hammock, her head resting on his shoulder as she pointed out different constellations to him.

"You see those three stars that are in one line? That's Orion's belt. He was killed by a giant scorpion that was sent by his own mother after Apollo had gravely wounded him." she told him as she cast her hand in the sky as she specified the stars. "Oh." was the young boy's only response.

Silence consumed them, as they focused on the serene crashing of the waves of the Vanaheim sea.

"Why do we not have answers for most of our questions, Emmy? We're gods, should we not be knowing things like that?" Hnoss asked his sister. It had always been like that with the siblings, Hnoss would go to his older twin instead of their parents if anything happened. He looked up to her and always wanted her to be happy. "Well, Ness, I think we already have answers. We just don't know the questions they answer. The answers are everywhere, the stars, the sea, the air. The problem is no one knows the questions that they answer." she responded with a little laugh.

"Ems? I know I don't say this often, but you're my big sister and I love you, soo much. I just need you to know that." the blond boy softly expressed. "I know, brother, I do. And I love you too, till every star in the universe dies." she whispered back to him. That was the original phrase, from which "Till the stars stop shining" was evolved.

I heard the door knob rattle and then it was kicked open. There stood in all his angelic and godly glory, my brother, black wings framing his body, eyes glowing blue, an angel blade in his right hand and his blue seiðr glowing in his left.

He hit the angel's head with his seiðr and the angel's body moved backwards following his head and Alex took long strides to stab his throat.

"Hi brother!" I greeted him, lifting my head as a way to say 'what's up?' "Oh, fuck off." his soft British accent retorted. "Ouch! That hurt, Alex, that fucking hurt." I sent him a playful glare. "Haha Rea." he fake laughed at me and started to undo my restraints.

After he freed me from that wretched chair, he stood up and grabbed my hand so he could get us out of the hellhole.

+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

We landed in Vanaheim, in front of our seaside cottage. Yes, we spend most of our time in the cottage, but we still kill quality time in the Vanir Castle. (a/n the cottage is up top at the starting)

Don't go inside, mum's gonna kill you. My brain voiced in my head.

Oh, fuck off brain. It didn't.

I exchanged a look with my brother which screamed 'I ain't opening that door'. He sighed at me and reached his hand out to grab the doorknob but the door was harshly unbolted by my mum, Freya, and she pulled the both of us in and hugged me tightly while kissing my head as I hugged her back.

"You alright? They didn't hurt you did they? Oh I'm gonna kill those sons of a bitch. Do you need ice, water? I made tacos for lunch if you're hungry?" The questions rushed at me the speed of light and I slightly pulled away placing my hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her down. "I'm okay now, momma. I promise. They didn't hurt me except when they hit my head."

"Can I still kill them though?" my dad's voice rang through the living room as he walked out of the kitchen. "Can't. Sorry, I did that," my brother replied to my dad with a semi cocky smirk, "But we will take on that offer of tacos and maybe a mojito with it, please mum?"

"Sure kid." my mum said with a smile as she ruffled my brother's hair and grabbed him, dragging him towards the kitchen. "You feeling good kiddo?" my dad, Lucifer, asked as I strode towards his open arms, him engulfing me in a hug. I nodded my head in his shoulder and I felt him smile a little at my response. "Great. Now go have a shower and then we can eat. We can even play Uno." "Okay!" I replied with a large grin and my dad kissed my head as I walked to the stairs to reach my room.

(a/n this is her room, just a bit lighter and modern)

+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

I opened my closet and got out a black crop top, black leggings and beige oversized cardigan after which I proceeded into the bathroom. I peeled my clothes off my body as I started the shower. A few minutes later, when I knew the water was warm enough, I got in and let the water pour down on me.

After standing under the shower for a couple minutes, I reached into the niche which stored my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash and scrub to grab my jasmine scented shampoo. I pumped some into my hand and massaged it in my hair.

I then washed it out and applied my conditioner, my rose and honey body wash and my saffron turmeric face wash. Letting the conditioner sit in my head for a few minutes while I lathered my body and rubbed my face.

I washed off all the soapy substances off my body and hair. Turning the shower off I wrapped myself and my hair in my towels. I then walked out of the shower and unwrapped the towel in my hair, drying it to the best of my abilities and then leaving it to air dry as I unwrapped the other towel and dried my body, then moisturized it with the honey moisturizer my mum got me.

I slipped into my clothes and dropped the towels along with my workout clothes in the hamper near my door and began to go downstairs.

(a/n her clothes)

I walked into the kitchen to see my brother sitting on the island, my mum making the mojitos and my dad mixing the salsa. "Hey dad, what do you call an angel that loses?" I asked while opening the fridge and taking out a hydro flask.

"I dunno, you tell me." "Lose-ifer." I replied, taking a sip of water. My mum started laughing and Ness almost fell off the counter due to how loud he was laughing. Dad gave me a 'really kid?' face, but I had a SmugAf™ smirk on my face.

"Ooh, I got one!!" Alex exclaimed. "What would you call a pansexual person named Nick who works at a CD store?"

"Panic! At The Disco?" mum guessed. He nodded.

+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

We had finished eating tacos and were sitting with our drinks on the floor around the table in our living room as dad expertly shuffled the Uno cards for a second game. Loki who had joined us after lunch was nursing his margarita while waiting for dad to distribute the cards, still looking sour from me saying 'Caught!' when he didn't say 'Uno'.

Dad then held the deck out to my mum so she could cut it and then started dealing the cards out.

+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡

'UNO!" I shouted as I played my second last card and the last card. "I WIN!!!" "Yeah, yeah sit down and let the rest of us play, Emmy." Loki chided me. I narrowed my eyes and mouthed a 'Oh, sod off!' at him as my phone rang. Ugh! It's Stefan. Eww. I got up and walked to the front porch while answering the phone.

"Hello, Stefan."

"Anastasia, *sigh* we need your help."

"With what?"

"We're killing Kathrine and we don't think we can do it without your help."

"I'm not killing Katerina, Stefan. Death is too nice for her. I'll come though, just don't expect my help in killing her."

"That's good enough. Be here by tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Ciao."

He didn't even reply, he just hung up. Arsehole. Well, it looks like I'm heading to Mystic Falls.
