Chapter 6

 Getting 2 hours of sleep, maybe; I am surprised that I feel recharged and ready to face the day. I almost forgot all that happened yesterday until "The Two' stirred with in me. I look at our alarm clock and it says 7:00 a.m. My dad should be here in 2 hours. I'll take this time to figure out some things, like who have I bonded to myself and what I can do, maybe. I don't want to sneeze and have the house come down or something like that. I walk into the on-suite and jumped in the shower the hot water making my worries flush down the drain. Until I hear her voice like she is standing in the shower with me. It made me jump and almost biff my head on the shower shelf but catching the door and falling out of the shower landing square on my ass. Trying to not get mad all I could do is laugh at myself. Then I hear her again, this time like she was a little farther away.

  "I am so sorry, my love. I did not mean to startle you. I am new to this also so try to bear with me. I am trying. You must have a lot of questions. Yes, you do have all the answers right now. But it is like someone gave them to you in a book that all the page numbers are gone, and the pages are shuffled. This we know too. Your feelings are correct and wrong about us. I am an angel, but not only that, I'm an archangel. I am not from your world as you know it. I am from a dimension of it. There is no one on this Earth that knows of me, because here I do not exist. All the archangels are brothers and sisters no matter what dimension. Each dimension has 7 archangels, their own fallen, but all under one God. That is why I said, your grandmother was a very strong woman to hold us. Each Earth is different, and events play out in different ways. One thing is true for all dimensions that will happen. The end fight will happen. The competitors might be different but using yourbibles' archangel name and fallen name Michael and Lucifer will battle. The rest of us have our roles but are not part of the last big battle. Your grandmother found a way to bind us to that place after our role was played. We come from different dimensions which means we have little or no knowledge of each other. The archangels and fallen here would only recognize that we are kin but not our rank, or roles we played in our dimensions. We are not to be feared by you. As I said, we will help. This war is not destined and should not happen. The only way our father would allow us to bind with you to help is, if it were not in the book to happen. Meaning someone with the gifts our father gave to you, and your bloodline from a different dimension is trying to start the end before he has written it. The second possibility is one of ours are trying to start it. Third possibility someone with your gifts and one of ours are trying to start it together. Our father has written us into a big part of this and we will make him proud." She finished.

  I hurried up and finished showering. But said, "Ok, I can follow that in a way. I do have a few questions though. What are your names? What am I able to do? And why doesn't he ever talk? It's like he is just always over standing in the corner, looking at me quietly and its creepy. I know I can't actually see him, but I know he is there.

 I hear her laugh in my head before saying, "I can see how that could be off putting. He is very quiet. The whole time I have known him anyways. He will talk, just give him time this is new to him too. What, you can do, is better if we showed you; while you are not in the shower. Our names are Anaita and Raziel. If you wish, you can still call us The Two if you prefer, or Ana and Raz.

 Throwing on jeans and a hoodie; I checked my alarm clock and that whole shower and talking only took 30mins. Everyone probably still will be sleeping after the long day yesterday. Which means I can take a little."more time talking to my new additions. I head to the kitchen for a coke zero; this is the closest thing to coffee I drink. I find my way to my rocking chair and start talking again to Ana.

 "Ana, do I have to speak out loud to you?" I asked, just checking on the answer I already have. "We can talk to you in your mind, we can hear you the same way." An unfamiliar voice said. "Raz, nice to meet you." I said, waiting for him to say something else.

 "Nice to formally, meet you also, Mrs. Lambert. It is true I am quiet, but if I am needed, all you must do is think it. We will start your training after your caffeine. Enjoy these few minutes because you are going to hate me as your trainer." Raz said, in a knowing tone.

 Drinking the last little bit of my coke I checked the time again. 8:00 a.m. an hour before my dad gets here, and a few minutes before my training starts.

 I hear Raz again, "Ok. Mrs. Lambert, your beverage is now gone. It is time we start your training. First, we are going to start with something that is easy. You are going to wake up all the people you awakened without moving or using your voice. Everyone that you awaken forms a bond, a bond that you can use to contact them or they you. Just focus your mind and think of your family and friends and try to push the phrase time to get up, to them."

 Ana said "Just be careful, do not yell it in their minds almost whisper it. As you found out this morning, it can be startling if you do not take care."I sat there and pictured everyone I awakened. I whispered in my mind, Time to get up now. Please come to the kitchen. Wondering if this would really work. I whispered it again in my mind. And waited a few moments. I was going to say It's not working to Ana and Raz but then I heard footsteps. Footsteps in the hall, on the stairs, and on the porch. One by one everyone started to show up. In my head I said to Ana and Raz I did it. They both said yes you did.

 Peggy walked up to me and gave me a hug and said, "You feeling ok? It's so weird I could have sworn you were outside the 5th wheel and said it was time to get up."

 Red spoke up also and said," me to."The kids just raised their hands to tell me them to.Robby walked up to me and gave me a kiss and whispered," me to," in my ear.

"Well." I said," Ana and Raz are training me and that was the first thing I had to do. V spoke, "Who is Ana and Raz?"

"They are The Two, that are a part of me." I said. "Raz is training you?" Lexi said next

I replied "Yes, now I would get breakfast, because I am not the only one that needs to be trained."

 "Nicely said." I hear Ana and Raz say which makes me smile."It is almost time for your father to arrive. Maybe you should put on some warmer clothing and we can continue this outside. We cannot really train in here anyways." Ana spoke.

 As I walk outside, I see an unfamiliar car pulling up my driveway. Seeing how this car was driving on my slick ice- and snow-covered driveway, and how shiny the car is I knew it was my dad. Yes, my dad was born and raised in Michigan, but it had been some years since he had to drive in winter conditions. It made me chuckle because he is the one that taught me how to drive in the winter, because my mother hates too. When the car stopped, I ran to his side of the car, and gave him a big hug. It had been a few years sense I have seen him. I didn't realize how much I have missed my dad. When Sandy got out of the car, I gave her a hug also, she looked like she was going to Alaska with the boots and coat, but she has never liked Michigan in the winter. I can't blame her; it takes a special kind of person to deal with the cold for more than half the year. Sometimes, I feel like I live in Alaska; it gets dark at 4:00pm and it is always cold, even when it is sunny.

 I told Sandy, if she wanted too, she could go inside and warm up. She passed on that because she was as curious as dad was what was going on.

 My dad said after the hello's, "Ok, Hun what is going on? I can see you are different with out you really saying anything. When I look at you, I see you of course, but I also see two others that were not there the last time we seen each other. I have a gut feeling Grandma B. had something to do with the difference, but I am not 100%, because I do not have the power of the sunflower, like my little girl does."I hear Raz say in my head "It is ok, just tell him. He might not have all your gifts, but he is your bloodline with that alone he can understand better than most. Plus, we can show him." I took a deep breath and decided because Sandy was standing right there also, showing him and her was the easier route to take and less questions.

Before I start, I ask Raz and Ana in my mind "How do I show them?" With that question I hear, "All you have to do is relax, and let us do this part."

  Within a few seconds of me standing there and easing up on my control I feel myself let go. I still could see; I still could hear but my body was moving without me telling it to. A feeling of weightlessness washed over me, and I was hovering off the ground about a foot. I feel my arms push forward and then a release. They had their wings come out, if the look on Sandy's face is anything to go by. As quickly as it started my feet gently touched the ground, and I was back in control.

 With that I said, "Dad, Sandy, I would like you both to meet Raz and Ana. Grandma B. chained them when I was first born. I Broke the chains last night. I am still learning, even though I have all the answers right now they are all jumbled up in my head at the moment. With time and practice, I will get better. With them we will win. I can awaken your minds if you would like to make it easier to understand. You don't have to though; it is completely up to you both."

 Without thinking about it my Dad said "Yes, please." Sandy needed a little while to think it through, and to meet other people that I awakened to make her choice.I place my palms on either side of my dad's head and the bright blue light flashed as before. My dad was one that took a very short amount of time to start a conversation. He was already trying to get his new founded powers to work. I try to get him to pace himself, but he was bound and determined. It didn't take long for my dad to explain to Sandy why she should do the same. He told her its like reading every book in the universe all at once, without cracking a book. Sandy liked that considering she is an attorney and must read a lot. I stood back and watched my dad work. He was good before at selling an item but now he was the best. It took him maybe 3 minutes to get Sandy to want to be awakened. After Sandy agreed; my dad went back to trying to get his powers to work.

 "You sure about this Sandy?" I said to her, just to make sure she is the one that really wants this or is it just my dad. "Yes. Its was your dad explaining to me what it does to your intelligence and the whole reading ever book in the universe without reading was the clincher." She said with a smile.

  I can totally understand were she is coming from but of course different reasons for me. So, I placed my palms on either side of her head and the bright blue light happened as before. After I was finished, I told her that it might take a few to engage in conversations and that she might need a few moments alone to organize her mind.

  Like a true coach though, my dad was trying to get Sandy to work on getting her powers to work. I stepped in this time and said, "Dad, she needs a minute ok. When she starts talking again then you can coach her. Ok? You are my blood, the ones that bounces right back are our bloodline. Everyone else needs a few."My dad nodded his head. He completely understood. Then he looked at me, and said "Have you been practicing, daughter?"

  In my head I say fuck. And then I hear Raz laughing and he said, "I think I am going to really like your father." "Dad when I came outside, I was going to start training. Raz just said to me he is going to really like you." I said laughing.

 "Well, if he is getting you to train in the a.m. then I'm going to like him too. How many awakened people do you have in the house? I think we all need to train." my dad said, with a huge smile on his face.

 "Yeah, me and your dad will be on the same page it looks like." Raz said. "Oh great." Is the only thing I could say. "We should go inside and tell everyone to come outside to begin training." Dad said as he started to head in. "Wait, I can get them to come out from here. Raz and Ana showed me earlier." I said with a smile of my own.

 In my head I whispered, "Everyone, please get your outside clothing on, so we can start training. My father and Sandy have joined the ranks and my Dad's coaching instincts are itching, and Raz thinks it is important to start as soon as possible. Thankyou."

 My dad looks at me and says "Yeah you have to teach me how to do that. I could hear you, but your lips were not moving it was cool as hell."

 "You just have to think about one or multiple people that share the awakening and whisper, not shout in your head what you want to say. If you speak to loud it will scare the shit out of the person or people you are trying to talk to." I answered."Really that easy?" he said. "yup that easy." I answered. "Is there anyway I could talk to Raz or Ana without talking through you?" He asked.

 "Truthfully, I don't... one sec. He said all our line can, you just have to realize its him talking, and not your inner voice. Ana is going to speak to you so you can see the difference. Then you and Raz can work on talking." I said.

 "This is so weird I have a female voice in my head. Hi Ana. Hi Raz." He said out loud.

 "And you don't have to speak out loud either; you can talk in your head and they will answer the same way." I said knowing dad was already talking to them. A few minutes later, everyone that was inside came outside. "So, what is the first thing we are going to learn." V said, as she gave grandpa dude and Sandy a kiss and a hug.

 Raz said, "How about hand-to-hand combat. With your gifts comes fast healing, fast reflexes, and your eye hand coordination is better than most, but you must know how to fight for then to be a perk. Your learning ability is quite fast, but you still need to know your basics." know Raz also said that to my dad, because he looks like a kid on Christmas morning.

 I looked at my dad, and in my head, told him go ahead and tell everyone.

 My dad cleared his throat and in his coach voice he said, "We are learning first, hand to hand combat. For everyone that doesn't know meI was the head coach for college wrestling, boxing and mix martial arts. This was what I loved to do, and then I hurt myself and I couldn't do it anymore. But lucky for me, and all of you that is no longer a problem. If you haven't realized all your body problems and mental problems are gone. I will work you like a dog, but you will be able to take it. This will be hard and at times you will hate me, but it is for a damn good reason. Ok line up. You will not be equally matched you are going to fight everyone."

 This is going to be a long day I thought, as I dodged a blow to the head. Ok, my dad isn't pulling punches. I hear Raz laugh and say, "You better move it, because I told him your father that you need the most training

Fuck, this is going to suck. I thought.."
