Anger...sadness...hurt...Those same three emotions kept swirling inside of me as I sat all alone in the back garden, my back leaning against the same tree -my favorite tree now- my bare legs stretched on the freshly cut grass, watching the sun slowly set down, leaving behind a trail of orange at the horizon, the warm wind breeze slowly drying up my wet cheeks.There were no more tears left, only that same, awful sensation in the pit of my stomach and a bitter taste in my mouth.Once again, I found myself asking that same question;What has my life become?When the hell did we get to this? From fighting over a stupid damn party to fighting the fucking Archangel of Destruction...I ran the back of my hand over my cheeks, wiping off the lingering wetness as I let out a heavy sigh, slowly closing my red and heavy eyelids, allowing silence and tranquility to take over.Only it didn’t last too long...Because in the very next moment I felt a presence right next to me, the warmth emanated f
“Come, we don’t have much time,” Luc stated as he hurriedly walked towards the front door with Azrael and Raph flanking his sides while Rick, Leila and I were following like little puppies, a little taken aback by their sudden hustle.I increased my pace as we walked past the front doors, trying to catch up with his long strides as I asked,“Wait! Where are we going?”“We are going to take you guys somewhere safe,” He stated, his voice dripping with seriousness as he suddenly turned around, facing us.“What? Why? What’s wrong with this place?” I asked, staring at him in confusion.He sighed, nervously running a hand through his dark locks as he said,“Look, this is neither the right time nor place to talk about this but once we get there, I promise you’ll get your answers, okay?”“Okay...” I reluctantly nodded, giving up then started walking on the alley towards the car only to be suddenly stopped in my tracks when I suddenly heard him ask,“Wait, where are you going?”I quickly spun
The soothing warmth his strong body was emanating soon started to gradually relax my every sense and before I could even realize, I started to slowly drift to dream-land, my forehead still resting in the crook of his neck, his fresh masculine scent filling up my nostrils with every steady, slow breath I took.A soft commotion suddenly broke me out of my trance, hearing the soft thud of his boots landing on the ground and my eyelids quickly fluttered open, taking in the darkness surrounding us, hearing the waves crashing against the shoreline, obviously spiking my curiosity towards our current location so without any other hesitance I lowered my feet on the ground, taking a few steps forward, gazing at the beautiful, modern mansion standing tall right in front of our eyes, just a couple of feet away from the shoreline.“Where are we?” I quietly asked, averting my gaze towards the beautiful beach, looking at the waves glistening in the moonlight, crashing on the shoreline.“Somewhere sa
“But...what does Abbadon have to do with all this?” I asked, staring at him with a hint of curiosity.He slowly lowered his gaze to the wooden floor, looking seriously conflicted as he quietly answered,“She...thinks of you as a threat... So, this means she would team up with anyone that wants to hurt you.”“But why...why would she consider me a threat?” I asked, watching how he slowly raised his gaze back to meet my own, his deep blue irises now swirling with a burning emotion as he quietly replied,“She...suspects that I...have feelings towards you...”As soon as those words escaped his plump lips, my cheeks reddened, quickly lowering my gaze to my lap as I found myself momentarily lost for words, quietly mumbling,“Oh...”Obviously feeling too damn embarrassed to ask anything else about that I quickly changed the topic, asking that one question that kept bugging me from a while now,“Um...did you guys like, date...or something?”He lightly shook his head as he quickly replied,“No.
LuciferAs soon as my black shoes landed on the stone pavement I quickly adjusted my vision, fitting for the constant darkness and hurried towards the grand wooden doors, guarded by the two warrior demons, submissively bowing their big, hideous heads as soon as they noticed me coming.To any human, they would seem incredibly frightening as they were twice my size, with pitch black eyes that consumes your very soul and teeth sharper than a shark’s... But to me, they were mere puppies, begging for master’s attention.Holding the doors open, they mouthed a small “majesty” and I dismissively waved a hand then strode past them, walking down the main hallway, heading straight towards my chambers, intending to find an outfit more fitting for what was to come...I was going to torture the whole Hell if I had to, in order to obtain my answers.What did they want from her?Why would any of my kind take so much interest in her, the “little human”?Does her soul worth that much?Or is it somethin
BlakeDamn, I look like a five year old that stole mom’s clothes.I stared at myself in the mirror for the millionth time, checking the supposed “outfit” Raph provided for me, frowning unsatisfied.It was a summer white dress that was supposed to cling tightly on my torso and fall just above my knees, but because I was thinner and smaller than the average at my age, it fell loosely on my slim body, the thin straps constantly slipping over my shoulders, threatening to completely fall off any moment now.Damn, I really need to buy some proper clothes. I can’t walk around looking like this.Ugh, damn you, Luc.Why did you have to drag us here, to god-knows-where, without even letting us pack anything at all?Slipping on my soft pink chucks, I checked my outfit one last time before exiting my room, intending to go find Raph and drag him to go shopping with me.So I went down the hallway and knocked on his door a few times, only to receive no response.Hmm, maybe he’s already downstairs.I
“We’re here,” He announced, pulling over the black SUV in the nearest parking spot then got out of the car as I did the same, taking in my surroundings, ultimately noticing we were currently on a larger, cobblestone street, filled with different small shops on each side.Not even bothering to check if he was following I started to slowly walk down the street, gazing around until I’ve spotted a very nicely decorated shop, with some cute outfits exposed in the window so I decided to walk in and search for some clothes.I then went to the nearest rack of clothes and as soon as I started searching, I suddenly felt another presence so I lifted my eyes, noticing a young girl, looking around my age or maybe older, warmly smiling at me,“Hola,” She greeted with a thick latino accent and I quickly responded in the same way, smiling back,“Hola.”“Quieres...”(Do you want...)Was all she said before she suddenly stopped herself once her eyes landed on Azrael -who was now standing right next to
As soon as the car reached Luc’s property I quickly bolted out of the car, loudly slamming the door behind me, still feeling hot tears slowly trailing down my cheeks and I ran straight towards the main entrance, intending to go straight to my room and lock myself in it for the rest of the day.I just couldn’t take it anymore. My heart was being shattered into million pieces for the third time, by the very same guy.Either he really liked playing around with me like this or maybe I was just really stupid to run straight back to him every single damn time.As soon as I entered the house, I quickly wiped my wet cheeks with the back of my hand and ran straight towards the staircase, not even bothering to check if anyone else was in the house.Right now, all I really wanted was just to be alone.After hours and hours of crying in silence, mourning for my broken heart, my head now ached terribly, feeling a tight pressure threatening to smash my skull and my mouth was completely dry, my tong
“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
