I threw the fruit in the air and easily caught it, staring at them enjoying each other. Nothing could compare to the beauty she projected from her body, from her soul. I was jealous - the epiphany came with a jolt and a tearing down of everything I knew. See there was a time when I was the morning star. I was the Big Man's right hand man, not Michael, Michael was just a friend, the soldier in command if you will. Gabriel was always the messenger. Then, these people were created and just like that we were pushed to the side. God treated them like the shiny new star the young angels like to fly off.
In his image, he created them. Well what the fuck were we made of? Dust, no sorry that was Adam; the breath from his own mouth. I wanted him to acknowledge us once again. But he refused it. I knew his plan when he planted that tree. It was a test, a test to the creation that was meant to be the light in his eyes. He looked at them with a unconditional love a never experienced. I wanted this soul he breathed into Adam and was transferred into Eve through his ribs. I wanted the soul of man. I wanted all of it.
I asked and asked for that soul, all He said was NO. I decided I wanted to be like him in that moment, and in the next, I decided I wanted to rise above him. That's when the pain started, when the fall of myself and my legion occurred. Gabriel and Michael looked at me in pity as I fell into an abyss as my very being felt like it was being thrown into a bucket of coldness. He thought he no longer needed me, but He would come to except me back when I showed Him what his new creation was capable of.
I smiled at her beauty once again and bit into the fruit, yes. I would have her. I slipped into invisibility and left the garden.
