"Kiwi and Red are on a date?" I hear Lily asking as we walk through the front door. What brilliant timing this girl has! I laugh and shake my head. "No we were not on a date" I roll my eyes. "You're right. What we did classified it as more than date. More like a one ni-" I smack my hand over his mouth. "Hahaha he's so funny" I pinch the skin of his upper arm between the fingers of my other hand as a warning and I hear the fake sounds of distress coming out muffled. I slowly withdraw my hand and he huffs. "You almost suffocated me to death" He places his hand on his chest."If I wanted to. I would've succeeded" I shrug
Before I knew it, it was night. The half moon shimmered across the area, providing a beautiful reflective light on the pool. I see the little ripples from the wind making the shape of the move blurry. I had put a chair behind the window and was sitting on it with my legs folded up and my face resting on my knees.There was that uncomfortable feeling again. Every day, it seemed like something new was about to come up. The world had opened into a dimension of infinite possibilities where shit could get screwed up. There was no end in sight. It was quite unpredictable.Ting!It was my phone. There was a message from Lev, asking me why I wasn’t at school the past few days. I had told them that I was not feeling well but I knew that this would not last long. So unless I gave them a medical report of me having a life threatening illness that required hospitalisation for a few months causing me to drop school, I doubt that they would let this thing go.My phone started ringing in my hand and
For a couple moments I could not believe what I was hearing. They slept together a month ago but Lev looked so surprised when she told him that she liked him. It could be a friends with benefits thing but I guess I am just disappointed that I didn’t notice the tension at all. If I knew maybe I could have helped somehow.“Don’t you think he deserves to know? It’s his child too.” I say calmly and gently so she wouldn’t think of this as an attack on her. I am on her side of course. We girls have to stick up for each other but Lev is my friend too. This is his kid we’re talking about as well!“It won’t be.”I make a face of confusion.“I’m getting an abortion.” My mouth drops open. I rub the back of my ear hesitantly.“Kira.. how are you going to manage that? It’s not legal anymore.”“Maybe I’ll go to Canada.” She mutters under her breath.I let out a breath and give it some thought. “Listen, hear me out. I’m just saying this because I care about you. Aren’t you rushing things a little?
“Do you think you can make drugs? Like you make objects and stuff.” I ask.He thinks about it and then shakes his head. “It probably wouldn’t be safe. I can bring drugs from locations on different parts of the world through the dark portal. In fact, that’s how I get most stuff. Creation is more difficult than just transporting.”I nod understandingly.“You don’t have to follow me around all the time you know.” I joke as we walk back to the house.“You wouldn’t understand.” He waves it off and continues walking ahead of me. He heads in first, going straight to his room. I wouldn’t understand, he said.What wouldn’t I understand? And if I don’t understand how dire the situation is, is that not because he doesn’t want to explain?“Hmm.” I watch as his door closes shut and I head back into my own room. Lying in bed, all I can think about is Kira. She asked for help to get her the drugs but I’m not sure if I should do it right away. Shedim did say that he could bring them and I know she sa
That night I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned many times. When I came back from Kira’s house, I had asked Red to look for her somehow. I wondered if it would be possible for him to find her the way he always finds me. He, of course, refused that and told me that it was different for us. Because of the contract. I knew that to some extent but wouldn’t there be a way? Like her scent? After that he had complained that he was a demon and not a werewolf. If he was a werewolf, he might have been able to find her using her scent alone. I had a hard time even imagining werewolves being real.In the end, he promised to send a few of his subordinates in search for her, assuring me that she was probably out getting some air and would be back at her house. I tried to believe him but he didn’t see her the way I did. I know her and for her to act hostile would mean that she is genuinely very troubled.I sigh as I fiddle with my sheets. Come on. Fall asleep.I close my eyes. I wonder if I s
There was a staircase on the left and one on the right side. I took the left one.I suck in my breath and step up onto the stairs. There were huge candelabars holding multiple candles on either side of the stairs on it’s knobs. It was such an eerie atmosphere due to the lack of anything lively. The same monotone. Dark and rusty. I feel like I was in a haunted house and a jump scare could happen at any moment. I rest my hand on my chest and will to myself.‘Don’t be so negative. I don’t want to see a ghost now of all places.’ The creepiness of it already made me shiver.The stairs led to a platform that connected 2 more staircases. At the end of each were multiple openings which presumably led to halls. I was confused about which one to take but at the end I just trusted my feet to pick the right one, whatever the hell that means. Probably one where I won’t get eaten alive by a monster in hell. Even if it isn’t real, the pain in dreams can still be felt! I don’t want to be eaten alive.
"Why me?"He licked his lips. "Since you're asking so desperately, it's you because you were the only one I could detect. It's been 80 years since the last one."80 years? Since he found someone like me? An angel? "I must have done something wrong to deserve this" I muttered under my breath sarcastically. "Probably. You used your powers. There you go baby, you have a major hint." He backed away from me slightly and crossed his arms. "It doesn't matter anymore. Once your powers have been unlocked, you can't supress them completely by yourself" He grinned. "So if you were thinking that all you have to do is not use your powers in order for me not to find you. You are wrong" What is he blabbing on about... I have never used my powers even once. I try to rack my brain and tried to remember a time where I used them. Come on. Try and remember something weird and unexplainable. My eyes widened immediately as a memory surfaced. That time! Lily's wounds. They had suddenly disappeared.
“Am I seriously the first angel you detected since 80 years?” I purse my lips.He stopped for a moment and made a thinking face, recalling something. “You’re right. It hasn’t been 80 years. More like 50. The last one died so quick, it barely left an imprint.”I lightly scoff. A part of me wonders if this is a way to provoke me, trying to tell me that I am going to be next. Perhaps I am also going to be someone who is not capable of even leaving an imprint on him before I die.I struggle against the invisible force that glues me to my spot and slowly but surely, I could wiggle my fingers and toes. The tension is thick and suffocating- the moment drags on forever and it seems like this nightmare will never end. Have I been dreaming for hours or has it been just a few minutes? Whatever the actuality, it felt like a really long time. My perception of time must be warped already seeing how I can’t even remember how I got here in the first place. The silence continues to deafen me, all I co
This chapter is not part of the story so you don’t have to buy it. It is just information on demons from a book I enjoyed very much. Encylopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley.Dealing with evil has occupied center stage in human affairs since our earliest times. Destruction, chaos, decay, and the ultimate darkness of death have often overshadowed the presence of goodness and light. Human beings have dealt with evil in three principal ways: by meeting it head on in battle, by warding it off before it strikes, and by trying to avoid it altogether through denial. The how and why of evil have been debated and discussed for centuries in religion, folklore, philosophy, art, literature, and pop culture, all of which attempt to explain why bad things happen, especially to good people. When evil strikes the wicked, we see it as the deserved consequence of evildoing. When evil strikes the righteous, we look for satisfactory explanations, often in vain. Everyone feels the tou
Grief in The Mind Grief is a natural occurrence that everybody goes through in their life. It can cause depression to some, but to others it is a way of coping with the loss of something incredibly meaningful. Grief can also occur from the death of a loved one, a change in your career, or the ending of a long relationship or a friendship. Grief can be any type of feelings people go through such as, being angry, being upset, having constant worries, relief, possible fear, or any other possible type of numbness. It also can be thoughts of despair and discomfort. Increasing your social life is one of many ways to quickly help the person get over the grief that they are experiencing.Although grief is experienced every day, most people do not have an understanding of what grief actually is. Grief is a deep sorrow, especially caused by someone 's death (Pbs). Death can be an overwhelming, painful, and frightening experience. Grief is classified as a strong, sometimes overwhelming emotion.
“The answer is no.” He laughed. “I don’t just like you, what I feel is much more than that. I don’t know what love is but if I had a choice, I’d live all my life with you and then some more. I would be willing to stay with you for as long as the earth existed. If you think that’s love, then so be it. I think the three of us made a pretty great family, don’t you? I really liked it when John, that waiter, thought you were my wife and munchkin was my kid.” He smiled was fulfilling, like he had no regrets in life.“Why are you saying this?” I pout, my eyes brimming with tears. “I.. I feel the same. You saved me.” My voice was too unstable to continue saying all the things I wanted to say to him.“I know how you feel even if you don’t say it.”I shake my head aggressively. I did not like the tone of his voice and I did not like where this conversation was going. He suddenly wants to confess his feelings? He wouldn’t do that at an inappropriate time like this, not unless he thought he woul
“You misjudged my character. I was never meant to be a demon.” He speaks. Lucifer raised an eyebrow. “Pretending to be a good boy in front of your girl? Let’s not forget the things you happily did for me. Slaughter, murder, torturing innocent children, I could go on and on.” I furrow my eyebrows. Torturing innocent children? He was just saying that to get on his or my nerves I bet, there is no way it can be true. “Say what you want. Let’s deal with this outside.” “Hmmm? How boring. I wanted your lover to watch as I killed you and then I’d take her after. Oh and her powers too.” He grinned. Shedim clenched his fists. “He’s just trying to get on your nerves.” I whisper. “Trust me, I know. That’s his personality in a nutshell.” He spit. “Ouch. Though I’d take it as a compliment in a heartbeat. Now, you.” He looked at Agares with a piercing gaze. “Give it to me.” Agares seemed to be in a daze still and responded to Lucifer’s words like a pet following his master whenever he was
“I’ll go deal with Asmodeus and you should stay here and make sure nothing happens to them. No matter what happens ,you can’t let Enkeli use her powers.” Shedim warned.Something was wrong with Agares. He was standing there blankly as if nothing around him made sense.“Stop me.” He grunted as he leaped forward towards Lev and attacked him. In an instant, Shedim pulled him away but Agares’s attack was so aggressive that he created a hole in Lev’s abdomen that was gaping and gushing with blood. He did this just with his hand?I reflexively scream and kneel down to him.“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” I scream at Agares who still seemed to be dazed.“Fuck. He’s received a direct order from the master of the ring to kill any humans in front of him. I can’t hear the command but that must be it.”Shedim takes off his shirt and hands it to me, which I use to press against Lev’s wounds. He coughed painfully and gurgled up some blood that started flowing down the sides of his mouth right onto t
Note by author – You may skip this chapter if you’d like. Most of it is mainly information on some higher demons and the apocalypse. All the information I found was from the book Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley.The lights flickered, on and off continuously until the bulbs fused and turned off permanently. The weather was getting more chilly, the wind started blowing faster and I shiver as it reaches me through the windows. I take a few steps forward, feeling my way around until I reach the kitchen. I was blinded for a few minutes but slowly, the moonlight had started giving me vision and I could see more clearly. The black spots covering my vision slowly faded.I got a few candles and a lighter. Lighting them, I placed them on the dining and coffee table.“Was that the sign?” I whisper. Did that mean the apocalypse had started?Shedim and Agares had found that out before anything noticeable even happened. They knew immediately that something was wrong.
When I woke up I was happy because of yesterday’s events. It felt like a real family. At least I got to know what that was like before hearing what I was about to hear. We were having breakfast at the table, all four of us. The swelling on Agares’s face had completely died down and in fact, he did not even have the black eye anymore. He looked as good as new. The healing powers of supernatural beings really was incredible, it meant I wouldn’t have to worry about them at least.The whole time, Shedim remained completely silent. No snarky remark or suggestive comment, not even one of those annoying smirks of his. Agares looked back and forth between us and raised his eyebrow, wondering if something was wrong.I shrugged my shoulders. I was just as confused as he was. Lily, on the other hand, was oblivious. Since it was Sunday, all she wanted to do was her homework from school then sleep some more. After eating her breakfast she yawned and headed to her room.He seemed to be done with hi
Next Chapter“Do you really think we should be idling around like this.” Enkeli wondered out loud.“There isn’t a better time.” His lips twitched to give a miniscule smile.She reluctantly agreed and changed her clothes into a dress. She checked up on Lily to see that she was completely ready and ended up in Enkeli’s closet to go through her jewelry box. Enkeli laughed and found her a small necklace (that was essentially a choker necklace for her but would fit more loosely for Lily.) It just so happened to be that both of them wore blue dresses.“How did you know I was going to wear blue?” Enkeli teased. “Aren’t you copying me?”Lily nodded. “You like blue.”She felt her heart melt. Lily really was the cutest kid Enkeli had ever seen. Seeing other people’s children being so annoying and demanding put her off at some point and she thought having children must be extremely difficult and miserable for parents but now she could understand why people choose to have them.It was still diffi
Back then there was a bit of an economical crisis. Shedim’s family sold trinkets for a living, just enough to feed their family of 10. Excluding himself and his parents, he had his grandma and 6 siblings. At a certain point, the trinkets had failed to sell during the period of economical depression and the ‘savings’ weren’t nearly enough to keep their family afloat. The first one to go was his grandma, since she had decided she had lived long enough and wanted her children and grandchildren to continue living and make the next generation better.The next was his father, who made sure his mom and siblings had enough food in their bellies. Then, of course, his mom would die too, followed by older siblings and at last, the resilient younger siblings remained. Shedim did his best to take care of her younger sister.He stole and threatened as much as he could. When he was caught and placed in jail, he asked only one favour of the police officer who looked kind enough to take pity on him. A
