I headed to Lucifer’s mansion first to tell him what happened in the jail. He was sitting on his throne and had one foot over the opposite knee, his chin resting in his right hand. He wore a tan suit and his signature leather shoes now after our sparring session earlier, very Ronald Raegan style, only that he had the curly beard and hair draped over it.
“Good, good,” he said in reply to me, “You will have to visit him every day now, you know.”
“If it buys Abby more time then I am happy to oblige.” I didn’t want to spend so much time with her father, and the only kind of torture that I could do was the mental kind, that was the boring stuff, I wanted to burn the man alive and tear him to shreds for offering his daughters soul to the devil.
“No one else can know, not even Kora,” I told him and he narrowed his eyes at me in question, “Abby can’t know th
*Mature Content*Damien and I were having fun with our playful back and forth with the music and dancing when he snapped his fingers and all our clothes disappeared. I laughed because it’s what I wanted him to do, I figured Damien is smart, and playing the song ‘Tonight (I’m Fucking You)’ along with grinding up all over him would give him the right idea.I turned around to face Damien and wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him and he pulled on the back of my thighs so that my legs would wrap around his waist.He turned us around and placed me gently on the counter, letting his hands wander my legs and hips caressing them as we parted our lips and began exploring each other’s mouths.My hands went to the nape of his neck, one hand going into his hair, the other slowly feeling its way down his strong shoulders and bulging muscles, they were like mountains o
Abby and I spent our night lying in bed after more intense lovemaking, she had her body draped over me as I ran my finger lightly up and down her spine. She was looking away from me as her cheek was laying on my chest but I could feel that she had a smile on her face when she asked me, “Are you sure this isn’t Heaven?” In a dreamy voice.I gulped and clenched my jaw before responding to her, “I’m sure,” there was pain in my voice and a small frown on my brows. Abby nuzzled herself even closer to me, putting one of her legs between mine and her arm across my torso before she sighed in contentment and fell asleep.I spent the night staring at the ceiling mostly, now and then peeking down to see her peaceful figure asleep on me. I was listening to her easy breathing and her steady heartbeat. The thought that there was a possibility of that heartbeat stopping and those lungs not working sent my mind to run a m
How much do I tell him? He’s just standing there and staring at me, I can’t stay pacing like this for too long, I need to say something! The weather is changing based on my mood, too, and I don’t want him to see what happens when I get frustrated here. Not yet. ‘Come on, Abby, you can come up with words!’“I was hidden from a lot of things in my life growing up, and now I have a chance to be a part of something huge, and you want to take it from me…” Ouch, that may have been a bit too harsh, I need to come up with something else, “You once said that you would never make me do something that I didn’t want to do… well, I don’t want to hide.”Damien pinched his lips together but when he finally spoke, his words came out softly. “I’m just trying to look out for you.”“Thank you,” I offered in a gentle tone, “bu
Authors Note: *This chapter contains some content suggesting suicide and may trigger some readers, discretion is advised*After Abby left to train with Kora, I paid another visit to Luci, who seemed far less than thrilled to see me again. I found him walking the same way as I was in the hallway outside of Kora’s greenroom, he probably just bid her farewell as she left to train Abby some more.He heard my footsteps and turned to me, “If you won’t help me hide her, then at least help me give her more time,” I was begging now and I didn’t even care, I just wanted to save Abby.I was going to ask Lucifer for more mock battles, each time with more and more people. We had no idea just how many souls would be fighting for her on the other side and needed to be prepared for anything. It could be a hundred or it could be a hundred thousand, there are countless souls in the heavens, who knows how many
When I dreamt, Kora would visit me, and we have been strategizing how to create a new realm and destroy Heaven and Hell altogether. We planned things in my dreams, and when morning came, we tested whatever we came up with, and we had finally gotten to a point where we knew what to do.No one besides Kora had seen what I can do by means of possession. It happened once when we were sparring - I had gotten frustrated with going between my demon form and my angel form, trying to master the quick transitions, and Kora attempted an attack which I blocked by getting into her head.At the same time, my body blocked her attack. It’s when I noticed that my subconscious had divided itself between my own mind and Kora’s, I was controlling both of us.It might be too much to take at any moment, really, which is why we had to save it for this battle. Kora and I agreed to save that ability until the right moment, and we wou
I was able to get both Kora and me to the Garden because the portal was opened by Hermes, and when we arrived, we saw that the battle had already begun.The weather was as if Abby was feeling every emotion – The clouds were gray and thunderous, a mixture of hail and rain being blown in every direction. It was humid and hot, with bursts of sunlight threatening to poke through the clouds here and there.Hundreds of angels fought hundreds of demons all along the planes of the Garden as far as the eye could see. The demons all brought weapons of their own, as well as the angels, along with each one's natural powers.Fireballs were shot from one side to the other, arrows were flung in all directions, in some places, there was hand-to-hand combat taking place, making it hard to tell which soul was the demon and which was the angel.I saw Hex in his wendigo form, skeletal with patches of fur and the s
Everything happened so quickly; one moment I was standing there with Hermes making casual conversation, the next thing I know, all the souls of Heaven and Hell appear in the Garden and the battle begins. They went from zero to a hundred incredibly fast.Lucifer was right, there was absolutely no warning about this battle about to commence, nothing like the mock battles we had – these souls appeared out of nowhere and they kept coming, leaving nothing but the sight of fighting figures all along the flat plane of the Garden.Hermes disappeared quickly somewhere since he didn’t technically have a side to fight on, he just stayed away from it. I grabbed the bow and arrows from the pile of weapons that Kora and I brought with us as quickly as I could and checked my surroundings to try to find her.Where was she? She was supposed to take the device to Lucifer and have him destroy it then be right back. If the fight
Abby was somehow inside the consciousnesses of both Zeus and Lucifer, practically fighting herself in a sense, and I was supposed to just stand there and watch?Fighting off people as they came near to protect her, I could do that, but the angels and demons seemed to be equal in number, fighting one-on-one, very few coming towards us as they defeated their opponent.Everyone knew this battle was ultimately Zeus versus Lucifer, so no one dared to approach the area that the brothers were fighting.Kora was focused on Abby, I don’t know if she was giving her the mindreading ability so that Abby could block the next attack between brother accordingly or what, but whatever it was that she was doing, she was helping Abby, so I would protect her too.I questioned Kora for a while in the underworld, knowing that she was there against her will, for the most part. I wondered if she preferred the heavens
