"Are you angry?" He asked, sitting next to me and pulling one of the plates to his lap." Did I do something wrong?"No, Miguel. Don't worry. I had only completely forgotten about its existence," I spoke quickly, and the phrase sounded harsher than I expected. Miguel lowered his head, so I added: "No, I mean, it's not that I forgot about your existence... I didn't remember everything that had happened before. It was as if the whole situation went out of my head. I just didn't remember that you were still here at home."I won't take long, I'm already leaving," he said, drinking a sip of juice.“Gone leaving? What do you mean leaving?" I asked alarmed."Didn't I say I needed to meet that person from the police?" He returned the question, cutting a piece of his pancake." I will leave you alone for a long time today, because I need to try to make him believe that he only knows me because we have already worked together.“I thought you would be leaving my house, you definitely know,” I expl
I continued driving in silence, noticing that, unlike my friends from hell who considered all human behaviors as a spectacle, Miguel acted as if nothing was new and everything moved him deeply. He seemed to be watching each sidewalk in a way of recording beauty and normality, before everything became chaos. I reflected on whether I shouldn't have done the same either. Enjoying more of the world before it ended."I'll talk to them as soon as I can assimilate the situation," I guaranteed Miguel, at the time I parked the car in front of the police station." Until then, please, Miguel, just give me some time to accept my destiny."There's no time, Elena," he said, opening the car door. Already standing on the sidewalk, he watched me and said: "This time, we do not count on the benefit given by Time, my light. It's just us against everyone; that's what you need to accept."And can you believe that Kirk idiot said that the fact that I'm still single is because I create too high expectations
"Yeah, my friend, I agree. But I need my babies," Zylah insisted, getting up and helping me by bringing the already empty cup to the counter." And the longer the idiots appear in my life, the harder it will be to find the ideal father. Do you think I should post it on Facebook?"Oh, Zylah, for the love of D... Shit..." I grumbled, massaging the discomfort in my throat." You should focus on more important things than making babies."What can be more important than making babies?The possible war that the Creator is planning, perhaps, I thought of saying. I repressed the words on the tip of my tongue and tried to gain some time before answering, waving to the owner of the cafeteria and giving my turn closed. Zylah followed me by storing the book in the backpack she had on her back, wrapping her body with her arms to avoid the breath of cold air that hit us. A rain seemed to be forming again on the horizon, but at least I knew it was no longer because of the fury in the skies."Anything
“You have a fever. Do you think you're getting the flu?" Anne pondered, still measuring Zylah's temperature by her throat and cheeks." I have a painkiller in my bag, if you need it."I don't feel bad like I'm sick," said Zylah, swallowing dry. She looked out the window again." I feel physically bad... It's like my energy is being sucked in. Does that make sense?I glanced at Miguel, who narrowed his eyes on Zylah. For a very quick second, Miguel's blue-violet eyes sparkled in a bluish glow very similar to his power, and the odor of angelic magic filled the room. Although my friends could not notice any change in the air, Zylah squeezed herself even more the moment Miguel's magic reached her body. Suddenly, Michael's power returned to his body, as if he had been immediately repelled, and now he was looking at Anne in a very curious way."I'm going to prepare a tea for you," I warned, trying to put Zylah sitting down." I think you had strong emotions with the disastrous meeting on the i
My friends and I slept in my room, putting one of the inflatable mattresses near the window for Anne, while the other was still being occupied by Miguel downstairs. Zylah, still stunned by whatever the discomfort of her body, made no objection to sleeping in bed with me. Anne even tried to joke a little saying that Miguel was too handsome to be just my friend, but no one was in a lot of mood that night, and she was the first to sleep.I had great difficulty trying to sleep. I felt like I had eaten something indigestible, but the dinner with Bolognese pasta was not responsible for that bad feeling in the mouth of my stomach. I kept looking at Anne while she slept, wondering if I should really be suspicious of the way we were taken into each other's life. Miguel's suspicions didn't make sense. Anne was too religious, she could mention the name of God without choking as it happened to me... Zylah would most likely willingly accept the throne in hell, because she didn't even believe it ex
And, really, if I remembered all the times Vraxlon and I had sex. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror or in any reflection without noticing Miguel's presence because I was too busy with another man, I would have noticed that despite everything, he never invaded my privacy."Is there any chance we won't be together?" I asked, biting my lip.Miguel raised the hand that held mine, releasing my fingers to take my chin and lift it. Our eyes met, and I could see myself reflected in the blue-violet of their irises. For a delirious moment, I glimpsed clippings of a still unknown future, where I could see myself fully lying on a very green and low lawn, while Miguel smiled at me on the other side. So, returning to the present, he opened a very brief smile."I already said, Elena, a prophecy cannot be changed."Even if one of us dies?"I waited for you to return from death for five hundred years," he said, frowning lightly." I would still wait a little longer until you understood that o
"Yes, I was free to come and go wherever I wanted. Both there and here on earth." He said, still smiling as if he had just won his favorite Christmas present." The Creator divided our paradise between nine heavens; what you could call planets. But we don't have princes and rulers like hell. The Creator is absolute, but he delegates functions to a few soldiers of his most powerful army. Those fallen angels who became receivers of some sin were once lethal soldiers and necessary to maintain order in our world. And they fell to the ground after rebelling beside Lucifer, and acquired the punishment according to their sinful actions in paradise.I sat in silence, because I didn't want to take the risk of talking and not seeing all the images that Miguel planted in my head when he remembered his home. It was exactly as human astronomy imagined. Galaxies really hid lives. The archangels were not creatures, they were beings like humans, only much more beautiful and taller, just like Michael.
A whole week passed until I really worried about the existence of Miguel, because Anne began to question a lot about where we would meet, if he would be single, if he would come back at some point, where could she find him, and that bothered me to the point that, one night at bedtime, I tried to communicate with him through that link. The contact worked. I could feel when he received my concern as a wave of anxiety, and his voice whispered in my ears" although he was very far from my house - in that calm and serious tone:"I'm not in danger, your spell works very well," he said. And I was already very pleased that at least I didn't have to deal with another important death in life, but he added: "If you're curious to know what I'm doing, I can let you in."I understood what he wanted to say, but I didn't want to increase that thing between us. I didn't want to give in. So I punched the pillow a few times, imagining that it was the best I could do to vent the anger, and I forced myself
