Two angels stood at the silver edge of a heavenly cloud staring down at the mortal world down below. Their faces were clouded with remorse. Their gazes focused on a group gangly teenagers, each in a separate part of the globe. They all differed in races and ages but somehow were connected to each other even with the distance between them.
"It's starting soon..." a husky male voice said. His voice vibrated like a thousand drums and echoed through the emptiness of the sky. He was the angel Michael. He was an angel of nature and temperance.
"Are you really minding this?" Another angel, angel Raphael questioned, his voice slightly deeper than the former's.
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the way he wants it to be." Michael said again smoothing his heavily bearded chin. "The only thing we can do is have faith; in his word. It's his world and not ours."
"So what do we do now? Just sit and watch the last four descendants of Anak tear the world apart? Again?" Raphael hissed cupping his palms into a fist. His jaw clenched so hard his jaw bones could be easily sketched out.
"Four? who ever said they were four?" Michael furrowed his brows in confusion,
"The four elements of nature. Is that not their power? Water, air, fire, earth?"
"Look at the line Raphael, it connects to the four corners of the globe. You see it?" Raphael nods in response, "but have you wondered about the cross intersection where all the lines touch?"
"What is that?" Raphael asked pricking his gaze deeper to the middle of the squared formed connecting line. An X marked in the middle connecting the four teens across to each other. What he saw sent him such a shock he gasped. A bright ginger red haired girl. Her long hair was held in two pigtails and she was been bullied by another blonde girl. Her mind was dark and filled with anger but her heart was tender and controlled the anger she felt.
"The four elements do not come on their own. The come from the mother of nature. That, my fellow Saint is the center of it all. The are five descendants of Anak present on earth. Chaos is an understatement of whatever is about to befall on Eden."
Lightening stroke and thunder rumbled,
"He calls." Another angel appeared from behind them. He was leaner than the others and had light curly blonde hair. "I'll suggest you do not do anything to interfere in the matters of the fallen. The Lord is never wrong." He gazed through the silver lining and saw the connection grid line; his expression was clouded with disgust as he stepped back, as if the view burned his gold irises, "Along now, can't keep the Almighty waiting."
They all disappeared into the clouds.

Down on earth, an evil angel in human form, dressed in an expensive black three piece suit. An evil grin spread across his face. He strolled towards the girl been bullied. She had been abandoned in the mud. He threw a glare at the cloud and his grin turned to a smirk.
"They never learn" he muttered in a sexy arrogant manly tone. He brought out a black piece of cloth from his chest pocket and brought it closer to the girl seated in the mud. She took it and started cleaning her face,
"Thank you" she whispered in between her sobs, not sparing the stranger a miserable glance.
"Those are some pretty impressive tattoos you've got on" he trailed, "how did you get them little sinner?" he continued. She arranged the helm of her sleeve to get full coverage of her tattooed covered skin.
"I am Luce by the way" he trailed again; but seeing no attention was being offered to him from her, he continued, "as in Lucifer?" She snapped her head to his direction.
Now that I have your attention...
He smirked to victoriously.
"What is your name little sinner?"
"Sonny," the girl replied staring fully into his sapphire gold eyes. He flashed her a malicious smile, exposing pin sharp teeth complimented by a pair of dark red eyes. She shrieked and fell back...
"What the..."

Toulouse, France."Tu ramène tes fesse ici quand je te parle Éloise!!""Tu vas arrêté de m'emmerde la vie David? je suis la fille d' ta copine et non sa co épouse!" A girl with a platinum blonde pixie cut hair yelled back at a man from across the room. She was standing behind a counter trying to get away from him; her abusive step father."Petite peste! tu ne me parler
"What exactly do you want from me Luce?" Sonny glared in the evil angels direction wishing.If only I could kill him!!!"Careful what you wish for little sinner. It might just come true." the evil angel replied shutting down her malicious thoughts.Away from school, he had taken her into his lair on earth. Meaning she was missing her classes and her stepmother Gertrude, who was also her teacher whose class she was presently missing was going to kill her. And Paul, her step father wasn't going to do anything to save her."OK! there's gotta be a reason for which you brought me..." she threw a nasty glance at the environment, "-here!""Those are some pretty nice tattoos you got on there, little sinner! Where did you get them? Cause I will love to get me some like those..." the evil angel spo
Falling to her death was nothing like Sonny had imagined. Just when she saw herself about to crash to the concrete, she wished she could fly.Glorious; as Luce had called them, glorious wings were released from her tattoos. Each stroke that peeled of her skin became a feathery part of what was opening up from her body. The original mark from her back tore threw her causing her a little pain, nothing she couldn't handle. Now in full bloom, her wings, they were big and of grey colour. She flapped them hard and they carried her high into the sky. She screamed with excitement. For fuck sake she could fly.Looking at her grey wings, Luce's malicious smirk turned into an angry frown.They
With shaky hands dripping with blood, her head held low and her face covered in agony, Sonny stood before the devil in his true form: long dark hairy tale with it's pointy red and sharp arrow-like end, short red and rough horn on his forehead, long black claws on both hands, flashing a mouthful of pin sharp teeth."Why did you make me do this?" Sonny asked, her head still held low. Her voice a pitch lower than usual."You would have ended up doing something relatable sooner anyway. Now is not the time for sulking. Change up! dress nice. We have a French descendant to pick up." He said and took back on a human form before putting on his leather jacket."I am not going anywhere with you!" Sonny cried taking a stand to look straight into his eyes but almost as if it burnt her she winced sharply, shutting tight her eyes and falling to floor, obviously in pain.His eyes were a fiery red; infusing unbearable pain in
"J'suis foutu! je l'ai tué! suis vraiment foutu!!!"David paced the halls of Alex's apartment. Alex was a friend of his."l'a ferme putain! Tu vas te calmer oui?" (shut it will you? will you just calm down) Alex groaned palming his face in frustration. David had been shaking like a baby ever since he showed at his door for shelter and protection."T'as
Dr. Sommers checked the vitals of the girl, her blood pressure and everything again. It was literally unbelievable to him and all the rest who had heard of the girl's survival. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her, not even a bruise was found on her body. Sjre she was entirely covered in mud but that was the only thing that proved she was actually involved in the landslide that practically disfigured some of the corpses that were recovered. No one even understood how she got out."It's a miracle Ruby! Some kind of spontaneous reminiscence." He said as he wrote something on her carnet."There is nothing spontaneous about being picked out of the ground! Can I go home now?" Ruby grumbled. If there was anything she hated more that hospitals, it was guys in white jackets."Are you aware everyone but you died in that landslide. If not for the way the found you; covered in mud and unconscious, no one would believe you were ac
As Rydian pushed open the doors of his supposed home, Ruby's mouth fell wider open. It was a sight worthy of cherubim voices as music. Everything was in either white or gold; like a palace in another dimension."You live here?" She asked, dropping her backpack as she marvelled at the beauty of her surrounding. Rydian just hummed an incoherent sound, supposedly to say yes."Alone?" She asked again. He fell silent, his mood and movements changed. He stopped dead in his tracks, watching around carefully. Like he could sense something was wrong, or that someone was around."Apparently not!" He said looking up, as if someone was about to fall out of nowhere,"What is it? You look- not OK." Ruby said, but before she could comprehend his actions, Rydian turned and touched lightly on her forehead with his middle and index finger and she fell into his arms: into a deep slumber. He carried her into his arms bridal style
For Gertrude Ferdson, it was just another seemingly normal calm night, sitting on her home office desk and going through her notes for the following class; only she couldn't concentrate with the thoughts of her missing stepdaughter in mind. Sonny had missing for days and not only her but another one of her students had disappeared too. Garvin Maurice had missing too and his uncle, one of hers and Paul's closest friend, had been found dead in his mansion. Apparently he choked on Hennessey. But that was not the feeling that bothered her the most. It was unshakable. Like something bad was bound to happen no matter what. And she knew all these came from the fact that she and her husband had been working in sync with Garvin's uncle in the management of Sonny's fund. She knew they were doing something very wrong toSonny but kept the secret from her.She flinch absentmindedly as she saw a shadow run pass her eyes, causing her to look up at a pair of red eyes s
"Where am I? Lucifer! Where am I? Hello? Anyone here?" Sonny looked around but she was surrounded by a thick dark fog so she could barely see a thing through. "What is happening? Lucifer!" No one answered. Before this, she recalled slitting a knife through the center of her palms and pledging allegiance to the alter of the Fallen. Right about when she was going to finalising her initiation with the "sealing incantations", she found being swallowed by this black fog and taken to a place she couldn't decipher anything.Ruby walked barefoot into the pool, wearing nothing but a piece of immaculate white silk cloth tied around her neck. It was surprisingly shallower than she'd imagined looking at the density of the water body. She sat in where Sariel waited for her, the water covering just right above her chest area. Then he started with the baptismal process; reciting prayers, verses from the bible and singing hymns, then finally he said the last baptismal prayer:"Holy Go
Initiation.Just a word that wouldn't die out of her head. Sony stood at the window of Luce's lair. She couldn't tell herself what she was thinking. She just knew, after tonight, she was never ever again going to be the same. She literally was going to sell her soul to the devil and couldn't even feel fear about it. Then she was wondering:What are my own powers? Apart from being controlled by the demon with horns and having a sick pair of wings, she wondered what else she could do, what powers she possess and why she was the only with the strange marks on her skin. The others, apart from their regular element powers; fire for Elo, earth for Zen, air for Gio and water for Garvin, they could very well just pass as your regular teenager."Sonny," Garvin walked in, he too had changed. He was in an all black getup with a checked shirt over his shoulders, "it's time,""What? It's not even midnight yet,""Lucifer wants to start early,""What? You
