"Protect my friends above all, Miguel," I asked in a low voice, realizing that my words already sounded choked. Tears were coming, like a flood of pain that devastated everything along the way. Not even the best of my spells would have any effect to hide the storm in my soul; the notion that all those laughing humans could die in the next few seconds." Something very bad happens tonight."It's already happening," said Miguel, and I turned my head to see him narrow his eyes over Zylah's back, as he tried to cast his protective shield on her, and nothing happened. His magic didn't work on her. Zylah still denied any idea that there was heavenly goodness." He won't forgive any of us, Elena. No one who has any connection with you. He will condemn everyone. Men, women, children, archangels... Anyone who shows any kind of hesitation to capture her. And, at this very moment, he realized that none of his archangels will have purity when approaching you. He realized that you are the queen of a

"No, I beg you," said Kleyphon aloud, in a tone of supplication, still massaging his throat, still looking away from us, making a face of pain. He took a hand to his heart and bowed until he was kneeling and with his head down, as if he were making a bow, or a prayer, but I knew it was just a gesture of intense pain. Next to me, Zylah repeated the movement, gasping deeply and falling on her knees. She did not emit a sound of pain, but it was clear in her expression. Kleyphon raised his head, looking directly at her, and even though my friend was not watching the archangel who had just aroused the wrath of her Creator, he said to her: "I don't want to.Miguel took a step back, pulling us together. I picked up Zylah before taking a few more steps back. Suddenly, the temperature in the bar seemed to drop to the point that I could easily convince myself that we were in an entirely frozen and lonely cave. The sounds stopped and it took me a long time to realize that humans were all watchin

I contained my desire to hit Anne with her own bible. She had to see to believe that something was really wrong, when Zylah gave all the signs that she was feeling sick with things beyond this world, and when I made it very clear that I had a lot more to tell if she wanted to hear. The black cloud that rose to the sky didn't seem to have an end. I spent a long moment watching, not wanting to throw my anger at Anne, because it was not her fault. No one in their normal judgment would believe it if a person said the things I said. Miguel was absolutely right. I had to have done that before, especially in a more reserved place.Zylah had only believed it because she was crazy, and had a great tendency to wish her literary novels were real. Even if I were lying, she would create a world based on my information, just to have a parallel reality in which to live. Even if she was suffering from vomiting, even if she felt the energy in the air, she still had a hallucinated glow in her eyes. The

The coldness with which she used to say that, did not match the tremors in her body. Zylah could have accepted the idea very easily that the world would end in the blink of an eye. Anne could trust Miguel and his entire version of the end of the world. But to reveal that I was the queen of hell would still give me the trouble to reveal the reasons for not having told you before. Reveal that Anne had suffered at the hands of demons belonging to the territory of anger.I would have to reveal that Zylah only felt terrible in the face of angelic activity because of her witch's blood... That both were doomed to hell even before they were born. That Anne's body, who had been brutalized by demons, had only given them strength and magic, because she should be someone closer to inheriting my throne, although I still did not understand the reasons.And I was a fucking coward, but the words got stuck in my throat. Because I was a coward who had countless moments to reveal the whole truth, but I

Even slightly stunned, Miguel nodded and indicated my heart with his head to Kleyphon. Silent and still desperate for Divine forgiveness, Kleyphon went to my car, and settled in the back seat along with Miguel. Anne and Zylah cast glances of doubt in the direction of the only back seat, which would put one of them next to a still bloody and tearful archangel. They decided with a single look that they would rather sit on each other's lap than be next to the men, so I took the direction and took everyone home.The silence inside the car was as charged as the air. And even with the windows closed, everyone could smell Kleyphon's strong blood. At least the archangel had the good sense to stop crying, but he kept making low sounds like a prayer, and I avoided looking through the rearview mirror because Miguel's expression was so brittle and desperate that I would have cried a little more just noticing.I parked in the usual place, and moved away from everyone so I could leave the door open

“You can start by telling how you found out that something like this existed,” Zylah said in an encouraging tone. And I loved it for it." We promise that we will not doubt anything else.A look in Anne's direction gave me certainty of that, because she didn't even hold her bible anymore, and was very attentive to each of my gestures. I nodded my head."I had a car accident," I spoke with a slight look away to remember the scene. It was one night after I got back from a party. I woke up without remembering my name or who I was. I felt strange. As if I were in a body that wasn't mine. So I entered a forest that was close to the place where my car crashed... And in it I was chased by a creature I couldn't see. I escaped very little, when I ended up entering through a portal that took me to the Middle. A place between earth and hell. In that place, which was a cliff surrounded by a very dark and beautiful river, I found Vraxlon."Your ex-boyfriend?" Asked Zylah with a frown.I gave a sad

“You are destined to be together, but... You always told us that you loved your Vraxlon," said Zylah, slightly biting her lip as she glanceed at the ceiling. She should be wondering if Miguel had a keen hearing." So he had to die for you to be together? Is that why he never told you that part?I hesitated. Part of me believed that Miguel had done that for his own benefit, out of selfishness. But the other part, which was much bigger, believed that he would not have thought that he would cause me that kind of pain. That he thought I would easily overcome the situation with Vraxlon. And, just for that, I was careful with the words I chose to use."I don't think any of us had any idea what Destiny really reserved for us," I said in a firm voice. I know Miguel would have taken risks much earlier if he had known how I would react. But all our meetings were unknown. They never happened more than once. He wouldn't know how I would react until it happened. But I'm not going to lie, I blame hi

"Let's not think like that," Anne said in a rhythmic tone. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but I noticed that she was still shaking. All the truths I told her were still being slowly digested. It was clear that she tried not to show that she would cry as soon as the blood cooled and the adrenaline passed." I'm sure at least one of your friends can help, Elena. Bring one of those who helped her the other time. You said that your ex-boyfriend and two friends were on earth to look for your book, so call one of them.“Faye is the queen now,” I spoke in a mild tone, listening to the footsteps of Miguel and Kleyphon going back down to the room. The archangels went straight in the direction of the kitchen, and opened the back door. I followed them with my eyes, frowning. I didn't hear any conversation between them, but I knew they weren't going outside just to give us privacy. The sky should be sending some message that only they listened to." It wouldn't be very wise for her to
