Dominic
The girl groaned as she stirred but did not wake up.
Dominic
This time she opened her eyes and pushed herself into a sitting possession.
Dominic the voice whispered again. Dominic pushed her long blonde hair out of her face and looked around her dorm room. Even in the darkness she could see that she was the only one in the room as she climbed out of bed.
Dominic the voice called again. There was something familiar about the voice and she knew not to be afraid.
"I am here" she said quietly. A bright light surrounded her and she realized who had called out to her. It was God. She was not at all surprised to see a figure of light appear before her but even with her special eyes she could not make out his features. She felt his love surround her.
You are needed
Dominic bowed her head and closed her eyes as the light around her grew brighter and lifted her off the ground. She felt the shift and everything went dark.
Dominic opened her eyes to see long strands of grass blowing in the wind. She sat up and saw that she was in a grassy field and she was now fully dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. Dominic got up and dusted herself off. It took her a moment to realize that she a different dimension. She was surprised that her head wasn't pounding and that she felt a bit lighter. "There must be something seriously wrong if God himself is sending me to different dimensions." Dominic said to herself. She noticed a town in the distance so she started walking. There had to be a reason she was left here in this particular area.
"Springwood, Ohio? You've got to be kidding me" Dominic Said as she walked past the city limits sign. "What am I dealing with Freddy Kruger or something?" she thought as she walked down main street. Dominic almost didn't see the angle walking on the other side of the street. She watched as other people nodded their head in a friendly greeting to him and he nodded in response. So everyone could see him but she doubted that they could see the massive golden wings protruding through his back. "How am I gonna do this" Dominic asked herself. She couldn't just walk up to him and say "hi I know you're an angel and I need to know what's going on here" could she? Dominic watched as he went into a bakery and came out with a bunch of desserts. "Huh so he likes sweets. Maybe that's how I can introduce myself" she thought to herself. How she was going to come up with said sweets was another matter entirely. She didn't like to steal and she couldn't conjure that type of stuff on her own. She was too busy thinking to notice the wind pick up. Dominic jumped when a piece of paper smacked her in the face. She pulled it away but it wasn't paper it was a fifty-dollar bill. She took it as a sign that she was on the right path. "Thank you" she whispered up to the sky.
Dominic walked over to the bakery and bought a four-way cheesecake. She realized how hungry she was so she bought a few chocolate chip cookies for herself. She left the bakery but wasn't sure where to go now. Tracking an angel was not going to be easy. Dominic decided to walk around for a bit. She had come across him once by chance maybe she could do it again. She walked around for hours. It was getting dark and she considered giving up for the night when she spotted him going down an alley. She hurried to catch up to him. Dominic turned down the alley but he had disappeared. She walked further down the alley looking for a door that he might have gone through.
"Well hello there" a voice said behind her startling her. Dominic turned and found the angel standing behind her. "Looking for something?" he smirked. This was the first time she had gotten a good look at his face. He had silky brown and champagne eyes that seemed to pierce her very soul as he smiled at her. Of course she could have just gotten that impression because he was an angel. "Ah hi" Dominic said stumbling over her words. His smirk grew wider. He made her incredibly nervous but she didn't know why. "I ah got this for you" she said pulling out the cheesecake and handing it to him. "Oh cheesecake yummy." he said taking it from her. "Any particular reason for this little gift." Dominic averted her gaze. "I know you're an angel and I need your help" she said glancing back up at him. This seemed to surprise him and he raised an eyebrow at her. There was an awkward silence before the angel took a step towards her. Dominic threw her hands up in defense as he snapped his fingers. She felt the world shift again. This time it felt a bit different and it happened so fast she almost didn't register what happened.
"Let's talk." The angel said. Dominic lowered her defense and opened her eyes. They were in what looked like a penthouse. "So" he said setting the cheesecake in the kitchen, "how can you possibly tell that I'm an angel?" "Well the wings are a dead giveaway." Dominic said giving a small smile. "But you shouldn't be able to see those" He stated. "Well as you can probably tell I'm a draconidaes and on top of that my eyes are very different." Dominic told him. "Different?" He asked sarcastically. "I don't know how else to describe it. I can see pretty much all spectrums of light and energy and see into the spirit realm" she told him. The angel narrowed his eyes at her. He strode across the room and grabbed her face forcing her to look directly into his eyes. His irises turned an angelic blue and her normally green eyes turned completely purple. He let go and Dominic backed away blinking a few times. "Well they are different." he smiled. "So can you help me or not?" Dominic asked. "Well what exactly is it you need?" he asked. "I need you to tell me what's going on." She said. he gave her a confused look so she explained her situation. By the end of it the angel was smiling. "So dear old dad sent you on a mission where you don't know what to do from a different dimension huh? That sound like something he'd do." He laughed. "So do you have any idea what he wants me to do?" she asked. "I have a pretty good idea. He wants you to help stop the oncoming apocalypse." This caught Dominic's attention. "Sounds pretty important." she said. "Meh it is to humans and you obviously but not so much to those like me." He said. "Well thanks for your help. Now how do I get out of here um…" "Gabriel" he smiled.
"The Gabriel? As in the archangel?" she asked. "The very same, and you are?" Gabriel asked. "My name is Dominic." She told him. Gabriel raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. "Well Dominic I cannot in good conscience let a young pretty green thing like you go out there and get killed by a bunch of demons" he said. This time it was her raising an eyebrow. "Thanks for the vote of confidence." she said sarcastically. "Look kid have you ever even faced a demon?" he asked. "A few" she told him. "On your own?" he asked. "Well not exactly." She admitted. "Exactly." Gabriel commented. "Hey it's not my fault I can't activate the white fire without help." Dominic chided. A shocked expression crossed his face. "White fire? As in heaven fire?" he asked moving closer. "uh yeah I'm pretty sure that's what the angel's in my dimension called it." Dominic informed him. "You are just full of surprises aren't you, dragon princess?" Dominic cringed. She hated being called princess. "Please don't call me that." She begged. "But you are the seeker and leader of the draconidaes?" Gabriel asked. "Yeah that's me. Dominic sighed. "But I am no princess. Power does not equate to royalty." "Fair enough" Gabriel smiled. "Do you have a point?" she asked growing impatient. "Yes believe it or not I do. Let me teach you" he said. That was not what Dominic was expecting. "You want to teach me?" she asked awestruck. "You've got potential. So what do you say? He smiled snapping his fingers. A plate with a piece of chocolate cheesecake appeared in her hand. Dominic picked up the fork. "Let's get started" she smiled
