Yvonne arrived at C.M.S an Anglican church in Lagos island, she entered the church it appeared to be a very large church, she saw someone sitting on one of the benches, she knew it was him so she walked over to him and sat beside him, he was in a black suit and red tie
“Ok tell me what I forgot” she said“Let your friends arrive” he said without looking at her but seemed focus on the stone cross at the altar“How…. How did you know I called my friends” she looked surprised“Why is that stone cross on the altar” he asked ignoring her question“Excuse me? (she was surprised at the way he changed subject matters) I..I don’t know? Maybe its some kind of respect or something”“You speak like it means nothing” he said turning his face to her“Why? Should it mean a thing to me? I don’t even go to church, I stopped believing in God ever since I lost my parents who died in the church”“Maybe I should tell you this” he said“what”“God doesn’t care who believes in him or not”“Yeah, just as I expected” she said and they were both silent for a while“Its more complicated than you think… (he was silent a while) You believe God killed your parents” he said, she paused then replied“Well, sort of”“Free will killed your parents not God”“What are you saying? Suicide bombers attacked the church, why didn’t your God your father stop them”“Imagine a situation where God begins to save everybody from dying… that would be more problem than good for you and everyone… you misunderstand the purpose of God"“That sounds like what he should be doing… saving people” Yvonne said“Do you any idea how many worlds are out there? If you did you’d understand that man is a fraction of the multitude of life… all you have is His Presence present in the first heaven to bring balance to your universe but God in his greatest form is not accessible to man… he doesn’t sit on a throne watching over the earth"“I don’t understand what you are saying but all I know is that he watched it happen and did nothing which means he did” she said“You are not proving anything” he said looking at the cross“Of cause I am” she said loudly looking at him“Everything happens for a reason and a purpose” he said“What reason? What purpose? What could be more important than the lives of my parents”“You are just like every other man… selfish and self-centered, care only for yourselves, if the first heaven had a scale of importance what makes you think you would make the list” he said, she was speechless“You sound jealous” she said“Nothing you do here faults the heavens, the results you get are all a construct of your actions…stop looking out for higher entities to cast your blames on, own your faults and strive to make your world a better place… God still doesn’t care so you better take your mind away from that, maybe you should lay your lamentations before the Begotten given to you… the one you killed on a wooden cross”“I don’t understand what you just said” she looked confused“Maybe this will clear your mind… your father was the suicide bomber” he said and she was shocked“What!”“He accepted the offer to wear the explosives into the church after he was paid heavily… that money changed your life” She was speechless“Wh… What?” she said almost inaudibly“The truth”“My father was poor, what did you expect?” she tried to defend her father“Your father was poor, billions are poor so why should your father’s poverty bother anyone? Like I said earlier, this has nothing to do with God”“The heaven is not responsible for your poverty or wealth, its angels can only help you create opportunities, His Presence gave you brains so he can rest from troubles like yours” he said looking at the cross, she was quiet, she knew all he said was true because no one could have guessed that.“Yvonne!” Maria yelled as she entered the church, Yvonne cleared her eyes and turned to see Maria, she stood up and walked to Maria“Hey Maria” she said and hugged Maria, she saw Rachael and Audrey“No, why did you bring them” Yvonne said“What are you talking about” Rachael said“Yes there’s a problem” Yvonne said“What problem?” Maria asked“It’s complicated, I don’t even know” Yvonne said“Who’s the white man over there?” Audrey asked“you wont believe me if I told you” Yvonne said in a low tone“Try Me” Audrey said coming closer“He is the one who has been appearing to me… He’s some kind of Angel” she whispered to them; the three of them looked at each other and busted into laughter“Excuse me?” Maria said“I am not an Angel” he said and stood up then turned to face them“Woow” Maria said“Now that is a very beautiful man” Audrey said –the next most noticed feature was his eyes and fine body“Right now I believe you have something bigger to worry about” he said“Ladies this is Metatron and he’s huumm… I’m a Leviathan” he cuts her words“Le What? What the hell does that mean?” Maria said laughing but he kept a straight face“That is not your problem, the problem now is that your lives are endangered”“Look, I hate threats and this is becoming boring” Audrey said“Look, I hate oblivion. Can someone tell me something reasonable?” Rachael said“Meet me in Yvonne’s car” he said and walked out of the church. They just stood there looking at him“Who the hell is that guy?” Rachael said“You need to see the way he came to me” Yvonne said and walked out too and they followed her. As they got outside Yvonne entered the car but her friends stood outside“Will you guys come in or what?” Yvonne said sticking her head out the window then they entered“Ok tell us” Yvonne said to Metatron who looked all of them in the face“Six years ago when you (Yvonne) serviced according to the laws of your land, you met three ladies who you became best of friends with (Maria, Audrey and Rachael) because you all share a lot in common and having same spirit. Yvonne and Maria were then posted to a government college while Audrey and Rachael were sent to a governmental organization all in the same state (Delta) but 8months into your service you girls went out together and took a long walk into town and your feet led you into a village. In that village you came across a house in a lonely part, it was old and damaged; there was a sign in front of the house “Cursed House No Entry”, but you ladies found it humorous and decided to enter” the ladies listened with kin interest“And in your attempt to enter an old lady warned you of the consequences but you wouldn’t listen… you all entered with Yvonne being the chief adventurer, you were all marked the moment you set foot in that compound. You touched things in the house but at the sighting of a decaying body hanging in one of the rooms you all ran out… Yvonne you are the major link to your friends because you led the way” there was silence in the car as they stared at him“Now tell me where I lied” he said without looking at them“Please help us” Yvonne said and breaking the long silence“No this is crazy” Rachael said“Yes” Audrey agreed“OK you were able to tell us about our past, I don’t know but you are probably some kind of psychic or something or maybe a prophet but all that curse thing is bullshit” Rachael said“Yvonne I have been trying to help you but you kept rejecting my help. I sent you a number” he said and Yvonne remembered the paper“But that was creepy and scary” she said“You haven’t seen anything scary” he said“Okay enough of all these… what is going on here?” Maria said“This is all bullshit, if this thing wanted to attack us (that’s if it exists) it would have done that long ago” Audrey said“My point exactly” Rachael said“I can take you somewhere safe”“I'm not interested” Rachael said“Me too” Audrey said“This is our life ladies” Yvonne said“I have a husband and home to run” Maria said“Well then you all can stay… Yvonne can come” he said“What? Why me?” she protested“Because you are head of the list” he said“Better, don’t worry Yvonne I’ll pray for you” Rachael said and Maria laughed“You don’t pray?” Maria said“well, I’ll start now for my baby girl” she replied“You all think this is funny” he said“Look, I have to go now, ok? I’m so not interested in all these… see you later Yvonne and have a nice trip” Audrey said and walked out of the car“Me too” Maria said and followed with Rachael After they left he turned to Yvonne“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you” he said“Honestly I am afraid”“Alright, take your time and whenever you are ready I will take you see someone who can help” he said“alright then, thanks for understanding but I want you to stay with me” she said“I'm not going anywhere” he said“Yes!!” she said happily“So what now?” he said“Now, you blend into mankind” she said“Why would I need to do that? I am not a man”“That’s the point… you need to make people accept you”“I already did that” he said“No not like that? No man falls from the sky like that and crushes a trailer?”“But what did you expect, it was coming right at you” he said“Yeah I know and thanks for that but now act like a normal man and not walking like superman ““Ok”“One more thing, please learn how to smile” she said“I can’t” he replied“Good, I’ll teach you” she said and moved closer to him; she puts her hand on his face and touched his cheeks lightly with her palm then uses her thumbs to push the sides of his mouth in opposite directions upwards“Now that how to smile” she said holding his face“Ok, I’ll practice”“Good, practice with your thumbs like that” she said“Ok”“Alright, now we are going back to my hotel room”“Ok”“Good and please don’t do anything scary… don’t freak people out with your powers okay?” she said“Ok” he replied; she started the car and drove off…Maria carried Audrey and Rachael in her car, going back to the house a conversation ensured “Who the hell is that guy?” Rachael said, she appeared pretty curious “Yvonne has got a better answer to that” Maria said, her eyes on the road“Come on, that guy talked about us like he was God” Rachael said“It amazed me” Audrey said“Oh so now you're seeing reasons” Maria looked at Audrey through the rear mirror “He said he’s a lev… something… whatever that means” Audrey said“He’s not human that I know” Maria said“True” Audrey agreed “I'm scared of him” Audrey said“Yvonne was so comfortable with him” Rachael said“What do you expect?” Maria said“Girl, I think we should worry about what he said” Rachael said“Please spare me all the sentimental bullshit” Audrey said“I cant worry about what I don’t understand and besides that was years ago, why didn’t we get haunted all these while" Maria said“I'm worried about Yvonne” Rachael said“You shouldn’t, she got herself into
20mins and she was still not out of the bathroom, Metatron looked around the room, he looked at the wall of the bathroom and could see Yvonne, then he said“You have the body of your mother Eve” he said aloud but there was no response and after 10 mins she came out with a towel“Why would you say that to me” she said“I saw your body” he said“You were spyingon me?” she said“Do I need to? I was sitting on the bed and I could see you in there” he replied“So you can see through wall too… oh my God” she rolled her eyes “Through anything” he replied“Don’t ever do that again” shepointed at him and walked to the wardrobe“Ok but… but nothing” she interrupted, he sat there on the bed; she turned to look at him and saw him staring at her“What is it?” he asked; she was a little bit surprised as both her brows shot up in surprise “So you can’t read my mind now?” she questioned“Yes I can” he replied firmly“So what am I thinking?” she asked “You wish for me to turn my fa
He followed Michael who entered into the men’s restroom. Metatron entered into the Restroom and there he saw Michael washing his hands in one of the washing bowls. Metatron walked over and stood beside him“So you have the guts to follow me in here” Michael said without looking at him “How do you use these” Metatron asked looking at the wash bowl in front of him, Michael turned his head to look at him“Listen white boy… “Michael said and the next thing that happened was not expected, Metatronsuddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck, their eyes locked briefly for a second with Michael clearly lost then what followed was a hard slam, he slammed Michael’s face on the ceramics bowl, breaking Michael’s nose and leaving blood stain on the bowl, he fell with a bleeding broken nose “What the fuck” Michael said crawling on the floor and shouting in pain then he suddenly brought out a gun and pointed at Metatron“Some of you humans are horrible” he saidYou are so fucking dead ”
“You’re really beautiful with those expressions” he complimented, she just stared at him not knowing how to react then she gave out a short laugh“Jeez… You are crazy” she smiled then started the car“Can I ask you something?” he said“Sure”“Are you in love with me?” he said, the question was unexpected and hit her off guard and she froze for a second “I… No… Of cause not” she said then looked at him, his eyes stared at her like they could see lies, she quickly looked away “You are lying” he said “God! You are so honest” she said it like it was to be hated“Isn’t that a good thing?”“Well it is… But in your case I don’t know what to say” “Don’t you lie?” she asked “Never happened… Why should I lie when I know the truth? Lies complicate things and you’d have to lie to protect a lie, it is like an onion, the layers never stop growing out”“Hmmmm… you are quite the smart ass” she reacted then stared at him for a while “It’s a good thing though but in our world sometim
ONE WEEK LATER7:00am Max was set for work– did I mention that he had not said a word to his wife for over a week? Maria had tried all she could but he was a hard one, despite regretting her words that instigated this she had refused to apologize to him. She was also being very stubborn and found it difficult to be humble – after all she was a strong woman who could survive with her husband, she thought to herself, and she could do without him. They both living as strangers, sleep on the same bed, but don’t eat the same food and he had completely turned off every attention and love he gave her. She missed him so much despite him being so close but he was so far away. Max would not eat her food or give attention – making threats to cheat is the lamest and wrongest thing to say to a spouse but Maria wasn’t seeing this and believing that it will just pass with her manipulative skills but all that had failed because the last time she tried seducing him by going naked in the ro
After 20 minutes they arrived and immediately spotted the girls sitting down and together they walked over to them; men and women filled the place, it was a fine peaceful environment “Hello babes” Yvonne looked excited and sat down; it was a table for six“Hello Baby girl” they greeted“Oh no” Audrey said as she looked away “What” Maria said“Why did you bring him?” Audrey said and of cause referring to Arnold who stood boldly there with hands in his pocket and watching them“Excuse me?” Yvonne said“He’s a psychic” Audrey said“Don’t call him that” Yvonne looked pissed“I don’t like him. Simple” Audrey said rudely “And how the fuck does that concern me” Yvonne said– she was the daring one“This guy is something else he’s a freak and he freaks me out I must confess” Audrey said loudly without caring and drawing attention of people “Don’t say that… shut up Audrey” Yvonne looked visibly angered by Audrey’s resentment over Arnold “Oh yeah? You wanna shut me up?” Audr
Arriving back at their hotel room, she dropped her bag on the chair and entered the bathroom then came out in 10 minutes with a towel around her bossom, she saw him staring at her.“What” she smiled, he took of his jacket then walked closer to her and touched her face and neck, the touch sent chills down her spine like it was laced with magic and then he kissed her lips, it was what she has been waiting for and wanted, she kissed him deeply as he dropped her towel to the floor, grabbed her and lifted her up, she kissed him like it was going to be the last, he dropped her on the bed, he kissed her down to her navel as her breath grew, he kissed her back to her breasts and then her lips, she grabbed him tightly and they had great sex through the night. Beautiful Rachael cried on her way home, she had wanted that for a long time, somebody who would tell her how dumb she had been. She arrived home still crying; she went inside and straight to her room, she opened the door and found
Another week was gone and everything appeared fine, Yvonne was back in her office at Shell but worked from home more than she went to the office, well she had the right to since she was one of the most senior executives, but then one morning something happened and changed everything… forever. As Yvonne woke up like every other day, she didn’t see Arnold by her side as usual, she went into the bathroom to clean up and came out then saw him sitting on the bed“Hey babe, where have you been?” she asked as she dried her hair“I saw something today” he said“What’s that?” she asked as she walked to the wardrobe“A vision”“Tell me about it” she said“Your friend Audrey is going to be killed today” Yvonne paused and turned “Is that a joke?” “No it isn’t” “Oh my God”“9:30 am today” he said and she looked at the time it was 9:00am“Oh my God, we have to hurry now, she’ll be at her boutique now” Yvonne said dressing up quickly“We cant save her” he said calmly “What? W
As he stood wondering, the dark skies opened up and a bright light shined down like gold, he saw 100s of cherubim descending down the sky and landed on the earth. They had six gold wings; the Cherubim were mighty males… the surrounded him,suddenly a single Seraphim descended in the center, immediately her feet touched the earth that part became gold, each step she took was covered in gold, getting close to Metatron she said nothing and suddenly 10 seraphim descended and formed a circle around Metatron – seraphim are beautiful female angels with a unique look. As they surrounded him, they raised two wings each and the tips touched and then they all ascended into the sky with Metatron in the center. They go deep into the sky and stopped at the fifth level of clouds. A gold platform appeared under Metatron’s feet, the seraphim all moved backwards as more seraphim joined them over 100 forming a larger circle. The seraphim all acted in unison as they cover their faces with two wings
“You missed” Bazel said to Metatron“No, it was a warning” Metatron said“Why are you here?” Bazel asked“To stop this madness” Metatron said“(Chuckles) so you think this is madness, right? I am bringing our brothers home and you call this madness?” Bazel was angry“You cannot bring our brothers into this world, it’s not our home”“So says the Leviathan living with the daughters of mortal men”“Bazel you and I know what our brothers are capable of; they will crush every single living creature on this earth”“Why do you care so much about these worthless humans” Bazel said pointing down at the people running“Everything made by Father is beautiful and important, They may be mortals and weak, but worthless is not what they are. The fact that they know nothing about the reality they found themselves is the reason why they are still doing okay, the lesser they know the better for them” Metatron said“creating these mortals was a mistake on father’s part but the reason why you care so muc
Maria carried Yvonne in her car, they both sat at the back seat – Yvonne had been unconscious but was regaining herself “You are awake” Maria said to Yvonne who was beside her“What am I doing in your car?” Yvonne asked“I’m taking you home” she replied and the car suddenly stopped “What happened?” Maria asked the driver“I don’t know” he said and suddenly Yvonne’s side of the door opened and she quickly ran out, Maria then came out the car and saw Beth and Rachael“So it’s you” Maria said to Beth“When are you going to quit? You could regret this” Beth said“You have lost the battle, Angel girl” Maria said“I don’t think so” Arnold said behind her and she turned quickly and Arnold quickly grabbed her neck and lifted her up“Put her down now” one of her men shouted; Arnold looked and saw four of her men pointing guns at him and suddenly they all fell down dead. Arnold’s hand suddenly becomes covered in black flame and was about to strike her dead but then he stopped and the flame
“Just give us what we came for” Lucifer said“What is going on here? This is a wedding” the priest said“Please leave this place now” Beth said“Leave? What’s going on? This is a church” he said and suddenly fire consumed the priest; that was a surprise to them“Why kill him” Metatron said to Lucifer as they all looked at Lucifer“What… why is everyone staring at me? Big brother is here remember?” Lucifer said referring to Bazel who had a serious face and stared directly at Metatron“What do you want?” Beth asked“We want some of her juice” Lucifer said smiling as he pointed to Yvonne, Yvonne quickly went behind Metatron“He can’t save you” Bazel said“That’s not gonna happen” Uzor said“Mortals have no saying in the gathering of Gods” Bazel said angrily to Uzor“Boring” Rachael said“Whichever way you put it, you can’t have her blood; there will be no more blood, at least on this side” Metatron saidThen we’ll have to kill for the blood” Lucifer said“Stop this madness” Ariel said“
“There’s a calamity coming to the human race, a disaster, a war with higher celestial powers and supernatural titans that will change everything in our world and this war has already began”...Yvonne ran through the bushes and came to the gate of their house only to see it on fire, she was in tears and pain of the injury inflected on her; blood running down her face and dirty clothes.“Nooooooo!!!” Yvonne yelled in tears as she knelt down in front of the burning house“What a pity, a beautiful home like this brought down to nothing but ruins” Maria said behind her; Yvonne angrily stood up and ran to Maria“I will kill you!!!” she yelled as she ran towards Maria but Maria punched her on the chest and she fell unconscious…6 Days Earlier…“Veteran actor Fred Collins found dead on Chief Collins street Lekki” this was the news headline on the big screen in Maria’s home“Good job Maria” Lucifer said“That was two days ago” she replied“Good, you have really come so far and its time”“Time
By evening when Max returned from work; he went into the room to change when Maria came in“Max”“Yes Hon” he replied“We need to talk” she said“alright, one sec”“I mean now” she said with a straight face“Ok, what is it?” he asked as he unknotted his tie“When last did you see Yvonne?” she asked and he paused because the question hit him like lightening“Why would you ask me that? I should ask you” he replied“Just answer the God damn question”“I don’t know? It’s been a long time” he said“I see” she said then walked to the table where he kept his phone; she went through the phone and then went to the recorder and saw a file so she played it and unfortunately it was her conversation with Lucifer… Max was scared, he didn’t know what to do or say“What is this?” she asked“So it’s true” Maria said“No” he said calmly“You’re working with my enemies, you are giving them information about me and my plans. So this means I have been living with a Judas all along”“Babe it’s not w
Maria headed to Victoria Island to an industry that deals on make-up production known as Beauty Planet Maria got into the building and up to the Ceo’s office with her guards but was stopped by the secretary “Sorry, you have to wait here” the secretary said as she went in front of Maria, one of the guards pushed her aside“The next time you try such stupid act, you will be beaten to death” Maria said They entered into the CEO’s office “Maria?” he said with surprise“Benson Kalu” she smiled “Are you surprised?” she said and sat down as two of her guards stood beside her and two walked over and stood behind Benson and two stood at the door“Oh yes I am” he said“Well, Iam here for what I asked” she said“And what is that?” he said“Don’t play stupid with me” she said“I want the 70% shares of this industry” she said“I think you are mad” he said and suddenly a hot slap landed on him from one of the guards behind him and it resounded over and over. He was shocked and was about sta

Is this For real” he was surprised“Yes, look at Maria” Beth said – Maria was preparing breakfast “Maria!” he called her“She can’t hear or see us” Beth said“I can’t believe this’ he was surmised as he moved around“I brought you hear to watch” Beth said…“Honey it’s 9:00am” Maria said loudly from downstairs“Yeah I know, I’m coming” he replied loudly…“I remember this day” he said“Yes, it’s the day you died” Beth said…“Honey what about breakfast?”“Baby I'm late sorry”“So you are going to leave it like that? I took time to prepare this just for you”“Sorry love” he kissed her cheek then sat down, he ate two slice of bread and drank little tea then got up to leave“Wait” she said“Anything else?”“Something is missing” she collected his tie“oh that”“Yes that, let me help you” she put the tie round his neck“Look like the director that you are” she said, her phone rang, she picked the call“Hello Yvonne”
SUNDAY, 9:00am Maria and Maxwell are seated in their garden at the front yard. There was a rectangular stone table and six chairs round it like a dinning table; Max sat at one end and Maria at the other. There were having break fast; there was a big bread on the table and a plate of butter with a jug of Lipton, a pack of sugar and liquid milk.“Babe when last did we go to church” Max asked and she smiled“Maybe a year ago” she said looking less concerned “(chuckles) I think it’s a year plus” Max said “Why does it bother you?” she asked “Shouldn’t it?” he asked A black Rolls Royce phantom black bison entered the compound“Are you expecting anyone?” he asked“I don’t remember” she said as they looked at the car“Waw, that’s a nice car” Max said and then Mr. Damien Blood stepped out of the car as the driver opened the door“Mr. Damien?” Max said“O yes I remember, I’m sorry; he called my yesterday and told me he was coming” Maria lied; Lucifer walked to the table“Good mornin
