I’ve been staring at the ceiling for the past couple of hours since I haven’t been able to sleep at all after all those crazy events, thinking over and over again about the same three, mind-blowing facts.One; I am currently living under the same roof with three freaking Archangels,Two; freaking Raphael the Healer himself actually brought me back to life after my foolish attempt to “save” him -how the hell did he managed to do that I still have no fucking idea- which I definitely have to ask, by the way,And three...The last, and my favorite; THEY ARE TOTALLY ACTING LIKE SOME FREAKING REGULAR HUMAN BEINGS!Which is extremely mind-boggling, dare I say...“Rise and shine, Panties! Time to get ready for school!” Raph’s chirpy, extremely annoying tone suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts, shouting from somewhere by the door, making me groan in annoyance, flipping on my stomach and bury my face in the pillow.I really wasn’t in the mood for going to school today...and for a damn good rea
“So, you’re the Leo and he’s the Capricorn?” He asked, sounding more like a statement than a question as he pointed towards the two signs inked on my arm.“Yes! How did you know?” I asked, impressed by his accurate guess.“Well, I didn’t need to guess. Your aura says it all,” He stated, leaning back in his seat and giving me a light smile.“M-my aura?” I stared at him, raising one eyebrow.What the hell is that supposed to mean?“Yes, your aura. Any angel can see a human’s aura. It is more like a glow, coming straight from your soul.And while your brother’s is cold yet compassionate and steady; yours is so powerful, so vibrant and warm,” He explained, his almost black irises twinkling with an unreadable emotion as I stared at him in awe like a child who had just seen one of Santa’s reindeers.“Now, off you go,” He smiled, motioning for me to get out of the car.“What? Why? What about your end of the bargain?” I pouted, feeling like I was being treated unfair.“Well, you’re going to b
During our ride back to Luc’s house, he did as promised and answered all my questions.I ultimately learned that “grace” is actually their angelic power, gifted by God and that unlike us humans, angels are created and not born from the purest, powerful souls.I also learned that Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer were the first Archangels ever created,Raphael, Azrael, Raziel and the others being created much later.But when the first Archangels were created, the first human beings were also created and because they were God’s fragile little children, he loved them the most and gave Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer precise orders to guard and protect them.However, Lucifer couldn’t understand why his Father had so much love for such puny little creatures so he rebelled, refusing to obey Father’s orders.So, as a punishment for his actions, he was banished from Heaven and sent to Hell, to guard all those savage, malicious creatures roaming there and also punish the wicked souls.But as the time
Azrael“Who sent you to do this?Answer me!”They’ve been murdering innocent humans for no reason. Something is definitely going on.My fist connected with his already battered face again, pitch black liquid dripping from his crooked nose on the concrete alley.He let out a dark chuckle, struggling to open his swollen eyelids as he tried to look up at me.“It’s too late. Can’t you see?” He said, his pitch black irises fixated on me, devoid of any emotion.“Too late? What the hell are you talking about?” I stared down at him, raising one eyebrow, preparing to hit him again when he suddenly answered,“Thanks to your big mouth, he knows about her.So prepare yourself, wing-boy.He had a vision.And he’s coming after her.”Her...He’s talking about Blake...I stared down at him for a few moments, trying to comprehend what he just said and before I could ask any other questions he suddenly grabbed my left hand, holding the blade and in one, quick motion, he dragged it right through his che
BlakeI sat sprawled on the big comfy couch, still stretching my sore muscles after that race between Raph and I on the beach earlier today.Damnit... I should start working out again...Obviously, he won because I kinda skipped training in the last few weeks... And though we all ended up soaking wet we still had so much fun.I really didn’t know angels can be so fun.Even Raz joined us, mostly because we asked him to be the judge, but still...I really don’t know what happened with him but lately, he’s around almost all the time... Everywhere Raph and I go, he goes... He is totally acting like our bodyguard or something close to that. But it’s not like I mind though...I kinda like his company...I started flipping again through the channels, searching for something more interesting when I suddenly heard that voice...The one I missed the most...“Blake...”I snapped my head towards the direction it was coming from and soon, I saw him...There he was, standing just a few feet away
A week later...“We’re going to the paaartyyyy!Whoop whoop!” She sang, wiggling her butt, the white fluffy bathrobe almost falling off of her shoulders as I let out chuckle.Turns out that Luc kept his promise after all and organized a party just for me.And the party was tonight, meaning that we had just a few hours to get ready...So I made Leila crash at my place last night, after we went on a hunt for the perfect dresses, this way saving a lot of time.“Yes we are, now hurry up and do my make-up, so I can do yours.”“Aye, aye, captain,” She grinned, then sat on the chair right in front of me and started rummaging through my make-up kits, doing her job.After she finished, we switched spots and I did her make-up as well. This was usually our ritual, since neither of us could properly apply make-up on her own face, but when it came to applying it on someone else’s, we were practically experts...So, after the make-up part was done I did her hair, falling down in big loose ebony cur
“Have I told you that you look like a little princess tonight?” He grinned down at me, his index finger gently touching the tip of my nose and I jokingly gasped, staring up at him in shock,“Was that a compliment?” I mockingly asked, earning a throaty laugh from him,“Yes, yes it was.”“Huh...and I thought you could only tease,” I commented, making him pout like a kid,“Hey!”“What? I was just stating the truth,” I innocently said with a shrug, making him narrow his eyes at me,“Yeah, right.”“Just shut up and dance with me,” I muttered, aggressively grabbing his left hand and right shoulder, making him chuckle again as we started to clumsily move around like two puppets on strings, loudly laughing together and fooling around.We then started spinning around, holding hands like two kids, making the people around us move further away until I started feeling so dizzy that I couldn’t even stand on my own two feet so I quickly took a step towards Raph, resting my forehead against his ches
Gosh...why the hell did I have to do that?I kept mentally scolding myself, now standing all alone in the crowd of people -ironically, I know- watching Azrael and that Abbadon chick slowly dancing together, seemingly arguing about something.Shit...what if she’s his “angel girlfriend” or something?That would be sooo awkward...But it would also make sense...I mean look at her...long blonde hair, curves to die for and piercing blue eyes... She practically looks like every guy’s wet dream.I sighed, feeling already so damn stupid for even thinking about kissing him...“Blake? What are you doing here alone?” I suddenly heard Raph speak right next to me and I turned my head to the side, looking up at him as he spoke again,“I thought you were with-” He suddenly stopped talking once his eyes landed on the “couple” dancing just a few feet away from us.“Oh shit.”His interjection only fuelled my suspicions and my eyes widened, already starting to panic.“Please don’t tell me that she’s his
“That was...”“Fate. She’s the archangel of fate,” My father quickly answered from right behind me as I entered the front door of our house.Fate...My mind whispered, watching my brother walk right ahead of me as he strode right towards the grand living room, instantly remembering Aleya’s words,“...you brought him back.You sentenced him to an endless life.Because of you, he will never pass through the Guarded Kingdom’s gates; hence, he will never see his parents again.”A heavy pang of guilt settled inside my chest, my legs moving faster on their own accord right towards him and before he could pour himself a drink from the mini-bar my hand clutched onto his arm, momentarily stopping his every action, our eyes instantly meeting and with a small and strained voice I whispered,“I’m sorry...”“I’m so sorry...” My voice raised a little bit, blinking back the small tears already prickling at the corners of my eyes, watching him stare at me for a couple of moments in complete silence b
Deep silence floated between us, the time seeming to stop as we intensely stared at each other, frozen in our spots, my entire frame lightly shaking as I watched those now midnight blue eyes drill into mine, their ardor and longing leaving me utterly speechless.The soft touch of a warm hand gingerly gripping my shoulder instantly broke me out of my trance-like state, only to notice my father standing right behind me as I quickly turned around, his warm gaze finding my own as he softly said,“Come on. We still have some damage to fix.”Blinking a few times, I took a glance to our completely destroyed surroundings, obviously feeling a little skeptical.This place is a complete mess...How is he expecting to fix it back?“But...how are we gonna do this?” I asked, curiously eyeing him.Offering me a warm smile, he gently stretched his hand out for me to take, a simple yet very meaningful question tumbling out his lips,“Do you trust me?”One word. One word crossed my mind yet I remained s
Warmly smiling down at me, his warm and bulky arms gingerly wrapped around me as he whispered,“Come on, child. Let’s go save the world.”And with a single whoosh we were already darting towards the crimson sky, the cool breeze touching the bare areas of my skin making me involuntarily snuggle deeper in my creator’s warm chest, at the same time feeling that awfully familiar sensation creeping up inside me, remembering that young woman’s figure.“What was my mother’s full name?” I suddenly found myself asking, those two specific words sounding so foreign in my ears as I said them out loud for the first time since I’ve found out about my true origins, consciously avoiding his gaze as I did so.“Natalie Pierce.”The stench of blood, combined with putrid and burning flesh wafted through the air, my eyes attentively following the trail of crimson and bodies as we smoothly glided through the air, my arms wrapping tighter around my father’s neck, struggling to keep the bile rising in my thro
BlakeGasping for air, my eyelids suddenly fluttered open, my whole body strangely feeling lighter than a feather. Small tingles still danced in the spot where Aleya’s knife was supposed to be but the moment I took a glimpse down, nothing was there anymore. Just my plain tank top, whole and untouched.Huh...I stared at it for a few seconds, still trying to understand what the hell just happened, but the moment I raised my sight and took a view at my surroundings, my lips suddenly escaped a small gasp, finding myself in a rather strange place.“Hello?Luc!Ricky?”My strained voice loudly echoed across the cold and deserted area, my sensitive eyes squinting through the dense mist, struggling to focus on the darkened shapes.Tombstones. Tombstones everywhere.What is this place?“Hello?” I tried yet again, remotely taking a few steps forward, hoping to at least find someone in this wretched place.And only after a few moments, a slender shadow appeared to be making its way towards me,
Lucifer My breath suddenly stopped in my throat, feeling like my very essence was being squeezed out of me as I stared wide-eyed at the horror scene unfolding right in front of my eyes.Large amounts of blood trailed down her bare legs, dripping on the lush green grass, also staining Aleya’s pure white robe and after only a few choking sounds, her lifeless body fell down on the ground with a dull thud, Rick’s desperate screams filling the gravely silent air.“Noooo!”My body slowly slumped down against the thick tree trunk, blinking a few times, finally free from Aleya’s compulsion yet still unable to register what just happened.No...she can’t be gone...I took a glance at my brothers, noticing how Michael simply fell on his knees in defeat, blankly staring at his child’s lifeless body, his eyes becoming glassy with unshed tears while Gabriel sat against the nearest tree, mirroring my position, also too shocked to do anything at all.“No, please be ok! Please don’t leave me! Please,
“So? What’s it gonna be, brother?Are we going to bid our goodbyes in good terms or not?” Michael asked, expectantly eyeing the angel in front of us, watching how he nervously ran a hand through his dark locks, a lost look reflecting in his sea green irises.A few moments of utter silence passed before his shoulders slowly slumped in defeat, quietly saying,“I...I can’t...”“No. I will not carry the burden of destroying the entire human world,” He lightly shook his head, keeping his gaze down and after only a few seconds, his sorrow-filled gaze returned to Michael as he truthfully said,“I am very sorry for placing you in this...this situation...”A loud exhale escaped his lips, the silvery blade falling from his hands on the lush green grass as he turned to his companions, lightly shaking his head once again,“We’ll just-”“How dare you?” A feminine high-pitched voice suddenly pierced through the air, seemingly not too far away and the moment we snapped our heads in the direction it
Lucifer “Me? I don’t understand...How is this all my fault?And when did Rick die? Last time I saw him he was pretty much alive!” He stared back at me, completely confused, the sounds of our brothers fighting still present in the background.I loudly exhaled, briefly closing my eyes and though he was already irritating me to no end, I decided to at least enlighten him about that situation,“Well, this douchebag,” I pointed straight towards Gabriel -who by the way was already covered in bruises, barely healing in between Azrael’s violent kicks- before I carried on with my explanation,“said something that triggered Rick’s rage. And Rick being Rick like always, simply punched Azrael, resulting in his own death. But thankfully, your miracle child brought him back to life. End of story. Happy now?” I placed my hands on my hips, watching him simply staring at me wide-eyed for just a few moments.“Wait, what? She brought him back? My Seline brought him back?” He incredulously shouted, obvi
Small, unshed tears gathered in my eyes, watching him mercilessly throw punch after punch in Gabriel’s face, way too fast, without even giving him the time to take a proper breath let alone defend himself.“Azrael, please...” I quietly whispered, hoping he would listen and stop.Much to my dismay, that didn’t happen. Instead, he kept violently kicking him again and again and again, blinded by pure, lethal rage.And even though he was the younger sibling, it was pretty obvious he was the one holding much more strength...maybe way too much...Please, stop...I mentally prayed, helplessly watching the horror scene unfold right in front of my eyes while the other archangels currently occupying the same room were doing absolutely nothing to stop them.“Look what you did! Are you happy now?” Lucifer’s accusing tone suddenly butted in the unfolding chaos, his stormy grey eyes intensely watching his elder brother.“What I did? Brother, what are you talking about?” Michael simply asked back, g
Blake “Wait...but...what happens when I’ll get old and die?” I thoughtfully stared up at him, hugging the immaculate white sheets against my bare chest, waiting for his answer.Those plump, inviting lips formed a light smile, his deep blue oceans intently watching me as he calmly answered,“You can’t. Not anymore,” Right before I felt his hand slowly grab my wrist, his slender finger lightly tapping against the mark, making me quickly realize exactly what he meant.“But...what if another angry archangel shows up and actually manages to kill me?” I asked, still not convinced.“I highly doubt that anyone would be stupid enough to piss me off like that but if that ever happens then I’ll happily bring down those damn gates, alongside Raziel...” He sincerely promised, his intense gaze slowly lowering to my lips and eager to feel them once again, he positioned his equally unclothed body above mine, supporting himself on his elbows, careful not to crush me with his weight.“The things you m
