I laid in my large comfy bed with my hands ducked behind my head, watching Leila stare at me, gaping like a fish on land after what I’ve just told her.“He’s throwing a party, just for you?” She incredulously shouted, earning a simple nod from me.“Yup...”The truth was I myself still couldn’t believe it. In less than a week, Luc and I became really good friends. He even managed to get under my brother’s skin -how he managed to do that I still have no idea by the way- and now he was going to throw a party at his place, just to make me happy.Crazy, huh?“Wow...Who is this guy? I totally have to meet him!” She gushed, smiling slightly dazed, squeezing the small pillow in her arms a little tighter,“By the way, do you think he would mind if I tag along?” She asked, tilting her head to the side, raising one eyebrow.“No, of course he wouldn’t. You’re my best friend after all. And you know best friends have special privileges,” I winked, giving her a toothy grin, seconds before she quickl
Unknown“And now you’re telling me?”“Excuse me, but I was on a little “trip”, turning Heaven and Hell upside down, searching for anyone who could possibly know anything about this! I even asked the Elders!”“And what did they say?”“Seriously? Do you really think I would be here, if they gave me any ounce of information?”“But what were you doing there in the first place?”“I told you, I was tracking a demon who happened to kill a human right in that campus. And apparently, she was the only one who actually ever interacted with the victim, so I was supposed to question her when that happened.”This was boring...like really boring...I laid sprawled on the couch, watching my dear brothers argue over some random human who apparently managed to touch Azrael and remain pretty much alive...This really was something, given the fact that no human being ever succeeded on doing that without having a one way ticket straight to Heaven or Hell, depending on the case.“So...are you a hundred per
Wow...I totally didn’t see that coming...I blankly stared at the three of them, utterly dumbstruck for a couple of moments, not really knowing what to say or do.I actually almost forgot why I even came here in the first place...“Blake?” Luc’s voice suddenly pulled me out of my daze, noticing the faint hint of concern plastered on his features.“Hmm?” I mumbled, this time focusing solely on him.“Are you ok?” He asked, taking a step closer, gently brushing his fingers against my arm.“Yeah, sure. I’m fine,” I nodded, giving him a reassuring smile, then averted my gaze back to his siblings, Azrael, who was still intensely staring at me, that deep frown never leaving his beautiful features, seeming like he was trying to somehow figure me out while the other guy, Raphael, was busy scanning me up and down from head to toe, seemingly searching for any flaws.“Okay, enough with the-”“Blake!”Shit!Luc was abruptly cut off mid-sentence by my brother’s angered tone, the sound of my name be
After that short “pep-talk” in the bathroom we hurried back downstairs, entering the grand living room, only to find a young woman, looking around her early thirties and dressed as a maid, wiping clean a small glass coffee table.We approached her and as soon as she raised her sight, I greeted her with a warm smile.“Excuse me, ma’am but do you by any chance happen to know where the four “happy friends” left?” I nicely asked, also earning a small chuckle from Leila at my choice of calling them while the young woman simply smiled back.“Yes, they are currently sitting in the dining room. Come now,” She motioned for us to follow her,“Master instructed me to escort you there,” She explained, that warm smile still etched on her soft features.Master?? What the fuck? He’s asking his maids to call him master? What are we, in the early 1920′s?We followed her through the large hallway and as soon as we reached our destination, she opened the huge wooden doors for us, motioning for us to
Shit.“Blake, are you in there?” Rick’s angered slash worried tone rang from behind that door, making me slightly cringe, followed by the sound of the doorknob twisting.“Shit!” I muttered under my breath, already freaking out, squeezing my brains on how to get out of this nasty situation without anyone getting hurt.I know!The single logical solution popped in my mind, like a crazed person lightly nodding to myself in approval while Azrael stared at me like I’ve just escaped from a nuthouse.He wouldn’t dare to hurt Luc’s brother for this.Luc was the one who saved his baby sister, after all.“Blake, I know you’re in there, now open this damn door!”Shit!I have to hurry up.Without a single warning or explanation I pushed Azrael back against the desk then grabbed the sides of his shirt and in one, quick movement all the buttons flew open, revealing his muscular chest and swoon-worthy six-pack.“Hey! What are you-”“Shut up. You’ll thank me later,” I cut him off then grabbed the hem
That oddly familiar, fresh masculine scent engulfed my every sense, completely relaxing my body and mind, my eyelids slowly fluttering open, suddenly finding myself gazing into those deep blue irises, lovingly staring right back into mine, his perfect plump lips slightly curling up in a warm, affectionate smile, making my heart flutter in excitement.Wait, what? What the fuck is he doing in here?I suddenly jumped like a scaredy cat, falling off of the bed on the hard floor in the process with a loud thud, escaping a small shriek.Untangling the sheet covering my bare legs I slowly sat up and carefully peered on the bed, only to find no one there.What the hell? Now I’m imagining things?I shook my head, trying to clear my clouded mind then slowly got up, stretching my numb limbs.The events from last night kept replaying in my head, making it hard for me to fall asleep...I've been laying awake on that bed almost the entire night…I couldn’t even remember when I eventually did manage
“Okay guys, show’s over.”I stared up at Luc, watching him quickly drape his black dress jacket over my shoulders, covering my almost naked body from the guys' view.“Thank you,” I whispered in a small voice, giving him a light smile,“Now, can you please turn around?” I nicely asked though fidgeting in my spot a little bit uneasy, earning a confused stare from him and a raised brow so I pointed down to the floor, to the briefs pooling at my ankles.Following my pointing, he made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth in understanding, quickly turning around to give me some privacy, also covering me from the guys’ view at the same time so I hurried and dragged them back up my hips, then grabbed my mug and ran to sit on a stool at the counter to make sure they weren't going to fall off again.“Are you ok now?” I heard him ask so I gave a slow nod, keeping my gaze down to my mug, too embarrassed to even look at any of them after that awkward moment.“Good. Then after you finish your breakfast I’ll
BlakeAfter getting my only clothes washed and dried up, I dressed myself up and hurried downstairs where Raphael was already waiting, all fresh and dressed up, looking like the typical bad boy.He wore a plain white t-shirt and a leather jacket that hung perfectly on his broad shoulders, matching with his dark jeans and combat boots, perfectly complementing his slightly tanned skin.Damn...why do these guys have to look so hot?“Done checking me out?” He smirked, suddenly pulling me out of my daze.“Oh, shut up,” I muttered, rolling my eyes then hurriedly strode past him, hearing him chuckle from behind me.We exited the mansion then walked towards the alley and got in one of Luc’s SUV’s, him sitting in the driver’s seat and I in the front passenger seat, ultimately noticing no one else came to ride with us.“Wait, just the two of us?” I turned to face him, raising one eyebrow.“Yeah, why? Need the whole army to go shopping?” He chuckled, earning a scoff from me.“No, you dumbass,”
“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
