Silence followed after all I’ve told them about our weird encounter with that old lady back at the home-made sweets shop, right before my brother broke it, doubt and conflict evidently glinting in his honey brown irises as he quietly said,“Still, that doesn’t mean anything.For all we know, that could’ve been just an old crazy hag, messing with your minds.”“Maybe,” Luc commented, trying to sustain Rick’s argument, even though the look in his steely gray eyes seemed to betray him, bringing to the surface the angst and worry stirring deep within him, making me feel those two negative feelings as well and before I knew it, the words came out on their own,“You don’t truly believe that, do you?”His silence spoke volumes but before he or I could say anything else, Rick’s seriously aggravated tone cut in between us,“You know what? I’m done with this shit. Both of you, stop it right now! You are MY sister and if anyone tries to say otherwise again I’ll happily plant a bullet in his or he
“So...You never told me why are you here all alone tonight,” That sweet smile was still etched on his handsome features as he looked at me in expectance.I shrugged, lowering my eyes on the wooden counter,“I guess I just wanted a break from my issues back home.”“Issues?” His smooth yet masculine voice drew my attention back to his features, his coffee irises now showing pure curiosity. However, for obvious reasons I chose not to go any further into details, so with a small sigh I finally answered,“Long story...”Thankfully, he only nodded and respected my choice, only giving me another warm smile while pouring another shot.“Oye Luis!”A male voice suddenly drew his attention, shouting from somewhere to my right, not too far away from us so with an apologizing smile he said, “Sorry, duty calls,” Then went to serve the guy, leaving me sitting all alone at the counter, casually looking around the crowded area until I suddenly noticed a bulky, raven-haired guy staring right at me like
I tried to scream but my vocal cords seemed to have already given up on me. In fact, my entire body seemed to slowly give up the fight, with each moment passing succumbing more and more into darkness.No, no no...“Please... Please...D-don’t h-hurt me...” I weakly begged since that was the only thing I could actually do while he only continued to drag me across the shore.“Now, now, Princess. Don’t be so impatient. You’ll see him soon enough.”Princess...“Where are you t-taking me and why d-do you keep calling me like t-that? And who is this guy y-you keep mentioning about?” I asked, lightly slurring while struggling to raise my chin up to look at his face. Unfortunately, it seemed so damn hard to do so.He simply chose to ignore all my questions and instead I felt him suddenly taking a halt, turning around to face me right before I felt another pair of hands curling around my wrists.“Wha-”“Shh, Princess. It will all end soon.”His voice seemed to grow farther and farther away, mak
No...This is impossible...This is not true...“Bullshit,” I angrily muttered, throwing him the dirtiest glare I could muster whilst crossing my arms over my chest.“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” He muttered mostly to himself and simply let out a small laugh, lightly shaking his head then turned his attention back to Luc who was still vacantly staring somewhere past him, seeming to have fallen in deep thought.But before he could say anything else, the only voice I was dreading to hear the most in that specific moment suddenly echoed through the whole room, making me lightly jump in my seat,“What the hell is going on here?”Oh, fuck.“Oh, Erick. I’m sorry if we have woken you up. And by the way, this is my brother, Gabriel,” Luc’s surprisingly calm tone momentarily broke the tensed silence, only to no effect, apparently because my brother didn’t seem impressed at all. In fact, he blankly stared at the said guy for a few moments, right before he quickly averted his attention to me, thi
BlakeMy entire body lightly trembled with every step I took, exhausted and extremely saddened all at the same time, after all that happened in these past few hours.Lately, it just seemed like every decision I took turned out to be the worst. All the damn time.What the hell was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I do a single damn thing right?Why did I have to hurt every single person I cared about?How could I be so goddamn stupid?My hands tightly gripped onto the end of the railing, pushing my wobbling body up at the top of the stairs, then, with slow steps I tiredly tried to make my way towards my room when suddenly, I felt a strong hand roughly gripping my arm and without even giving me the time to realize what was happening I was dragged inside a room and roughly slammed against the door, chaotically twisting all the thoughts inside my brain for a brief moment.Deep blue, livid oceans were staring right back into mine, making my breath hitch within my throat and my heart suddenly pi
Citrus and peppermint...That same fresh scent I grew to absolutely love was once again filling up my senses, giving me a warm, peaceful feeling and as soon as my eyelids grew open, I found myself looking at the owner.His perfectly sculptured features seemed so soft, so peaceful, unlike mostly of the times he was awake, his calm, steady breathings lightly fanning over my forehead as I was resting my head against his bare chest.My eyes then slowly trailed downwards, from his muscular chest towards his swoon-worthy six-pack and then to his muscular v-line, disappearing somewhere underneath the white sheets covering the lower half of his completely naked body, images of the unholy things he did to me last night momentarily flashing before my eyes, making my cheeks turn a deep shade of red and a slight tingle crossing my lower stomach.Wow...I still can’t believe we actually did that.“Are you okay?”The sound of his husky voice suddenly broke me out of my trance, startling me and I slo
I stared yet again for a few moments at the fiery big red symbol on my wrist, looking from every angle, stupidly trying to somehow understand it even though I obviously had no idea what the hell it was in the first place.It looked more like I had been marked with a hot branding iron...or something like that.“Is this...” I momentarily paused, nervously scratching with my fingernails over the irritated skin before finally asking,“Is this some kind of disease?”Gosh, this is seriously itchy...No answer. Again.Great. Just fucking great.I mentally muttered to myself, looking at a totally unmoving, seemingly shocked Azrael. He was in the exact same spot I'd left him moments ago, simply sitting at the edge of the bed when I decided to at least take a shower and get dressed.And now that I was done, I really wanted some answers. But since he wasn’t even moving a muscle, let alone speak, I decided that I will get them anyway, no matter from whom.So without any other hesitations I simply
I kept simply staring up at Luc, gaping like a fish, too stunned for words. Once again, I was facing a very critical situation...How the hell did that even happen?Why did it happen?How was it even possible?And most of all, why me?All those overwhelming thoughts were furiously spinning inside my mind, literally driving me crazy. I didn’t even know what to do, or say, after all that.“Blake...” That same deep, slightly rusty voice sweetly rang into my ears once again, sending a small shiver travelling down my spine and I quickly turned around, meeting once again those deep blue oceans, staring right back into mine. He quickly took a few steps closer, also closing the small gap between us, his big warm hands gently gripping my arms before he said,“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do this to you...” His words held so much sorrow, so much sincerity, his thumb gingerly gliding over my cheek as he spoke.But before I could react in any way, our moment was rudely interrupted when Gabriel’
“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
