The third story in the "Help!" collection- adding to Gabriel and Lucifer is... Michael! In-
Help! My Daddy's boss of Heaven!
Annalise Ember sighed, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She seemed to look so tired nowadays... like she was slowing down.
Her emerald green eyes seemed darker, her dark chocolate hair seemed faded.
And still she and her husband couldn't have kids- no matter what they tried.
It had broken her heart.
She returned to the bedroom, her husband- Flynn wasn't back from work yet. He was a policeman, and was usually late home.
Annalise sighed and knelt beside the bed, putting her hands together.
'Hey- just me again... the doctors told me that its literally impossible for me to have children...' she sniffed, wiping away a tear.
'I don't know what to do- a child's the only thing that can complete us...' the tears flowed.
'And we haven't been blessed with one... I was just wondering why- I pray every night, go to church without fail every Sunday...' she sighed sadly.
'Am I not worthy of a child? Please- are you listening-?'
She sighed and got up. No... I'm not worthy... she thought sadly, getting into bed.
But someone was listening...
Michael had been deep in thought when he heard the womans prayer.
He had been thinking about the future- the Apocalypse, and his final stand with his brother; Lucifer.
What if he lost-? Not that he was planning to, but what if.
Who would watch over earth and rule Heaven now Father was gone-?
It would be chaos...
He had to find a successor. It couldn't be his brothers- Gabriel and Raphael. For one; Gabriel had ran of seemingly eons ago. Who knew where he was. Although- he had a distinctive feeling he was on earth in hiding.
He always did like to mingle with humans.
Raphael-? He was... distant. Not up to it at all.
Besides- the one who would take over had to be as powerful as him, but also stay hidden until the chosen time... if it ever came.
How could an angel carry that burden-? There wasn't a way... unless...
That was when he'd heard the human womans prayer- she asked for a child...
Maybe that was the answer. A child already on the earth, but with all the power of the father- a Nephilim. They wern't a common practice- they could be very volatile. Michael remembered the war that he and his brother Gabriel fought- it had been long and arduous.
But the creation of Nephilim's hadn't been banned... it wasn't against the rules.
He'd still be the obedient son he vowed to be.
He would have a child... with a human woman. This woman, because she was faithful; she would raise the child in the eyes of the Lord.
It was decided.
As Annalise slept, she dreamed...
'Where am I?' she called into the sea of white- there was no up or down. No beginning, no end.
She was lost.
'You are not lost.'
She turned around in shock as a voice spoke, and came face to face with the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. It would drive anyone who saw it in the real world insane.
'Who are you?' She asked in awe, staring at the creature.
It sighed. 'I am the Archangel Michael.'
Annalise gasped. 'Really-? Thats impossible!'
The angel took her hands in his bright white ones. 'I have heard your prayer- and am at liberty to make it become reality.'
The gasp returned, but Michael spoke again.
'But there are a few conditions.'
Annalise nodded. 'Anything! I'll do it!'
The angel surveyed her through golden eyes. 'The child will be different- he will have my powers in his veins.' Annalise stared. 'Why would an archangel want a child-?'
Michael sighed. 'I will tell you if the time arises.' he blinked, then continued. 'This child must be bought up the righteous way- respect the Almighty.'
Annalise nodded. 'I swear it.'
Michael surveyed the woman through his wise eyes, then lent forwards and pressed his lips to her forehead.
'Then you will have your child.' He said, then the light suddenly grew bright- much too bright for Annalise. She closed her eyes to protect them, but when she opened them, she found herself back home in her bed.
She frowned, turning over onto her back.
Had that just really happened-?
She stared at the ceiling, her brow creasing.
Had the Archangel Michael really came to her of all people-?
