'It seems that Zaneth has let an angel fall.' Zeus said slowly, he had a smile upon his face. 'You know what we must do, Satrain.' Satrain stood taller than Zeus, but he was not way as powerful. Satrain, the son of Satan, was only associated with the Gods for one reason and one reason only: He had to carry out the deed to turn an angel human, but first, he had to catch them.
'It's that time already?' He smirked and laughed evilly. Suddenly, he sprouted bat wings. Satrain was losing his height, his size was decreasing. In less than a minute, he had transformed into a fully formed bat. Flapping his wings, he raised from the ground and flew out of site.
'Are you okay, Jack?' Kasibeth said, looking down and Jack curled up into a ball. He shook his head. His eyes were wide open and he was tense. As he rocked back and forth, he looked ever more insane or mental. His hair was ruffled and his crystal blue eyes had lost there colour. 'Jack, come on. It's going to be fine.' Kasibeth didn't know what to do. She placed a comforting hand on Jack's shoulder and he stopped rocking. He looked up.
'Please tell me this isn't real.' Jack had turned into a 5 year old he was so scared. His eyes were glassy, infact, he was almost crying.
'I could tell you that, but I would be lying.' Kasibeth sat next to him. 'An angel doesn't lie.'
'I've lied before! So I cant be an angel!' Jack exclaimed.
'Jack, I've told you! You're not an angel yet! You're just destined to be one.' Kasibeth said, annoyance in her voice. Jack couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't the chosen one. He wasn't destined to be an angel. But Kasibeth said he was. Jack's mind was confused. He didn't know what was right and what was wrong, he didn't understand. He couldn't remember if he had done is History homework. Had he finished his English essay?
'I can't do this.' Jack got up quickly and headed for his bag. As he began packing up, Kasibeth got up to.
'You can't just leave! You can't!'
'I can leave if I want to. I didn't sign up for this shit!' Kasibeth winced at the sound of Jack cursing.
'But Jack-'
'No, Kasibeth! I don't want to do this. Just go back up to heaven or whatever and leave me alone!'
'I can't!' Jack stopped packing and turned to look at the fallen angel. 'My father let me fall... I can't go back unless I get the chosen one. Not to mention that I'm running out of time. The Gods-'
'Sorry, what?' Jack's mouth was wide open. 'There are Gods involved too!'
'For angels sake, let me explain!' Jack stood there, waiting patiently. 'The Gods are in charge of anything in the human world. That means that if I stay much longer, the Gods with capture me and turn me human. I'll have disgraced my father and the whole of the angel community. All hell will break loose. We don't want a repeat of 400 Million years ago... that was when' she stopped and coughed, tears were forming in her eyes. 'Was when my mother fell. She didn't complete the mission and was turned into a human. Then the Gods attacked and she perished with all the others. The earth was reborn though... it always comes back. That's why I need you to come with me... Please.' Jack thought for a moment. Was Kasibeth really telling the truth? I mean, he had just met this gir- angel and now this was happening.
He opened his mouth as if to speak, but a sound, that wasn't him, erupted from somewhere. Satrainn, n bat form, was flying towards them. His teeth were bared, his wings were strong, his talons ready to strike. 'We have to go! NOW!' Kasibeth grabbed Jack and started running as fast as her feet could carry her.
'What is that thing?' Jack asked, running out of breath.
'That's Satrainn! He's the son of Satan. He catches us fallen angels and turns us human!' The two of them turned onto a street. It was deserted, no cars were in site.
'What do we do then?' sweat dripped down Jack's face, his glasses were askew.
'Now, we hide.' Kasibeth pulled Jack into a bush and they both went silent. The only thing they could hear was the beating of their own hearts and the throbbing in their heads. Satrain landed and turned back into his devilish form.
'I know you're here, Kasibeth.' a smile stretched across his horrid face, his voice was low and croaky. 'And I know you have the chosen one... Just come out. I won't hurt you... You're too special for that.' Jack looked into Kasibeth's face. Her face had lost colour and her eyes were engulfed in fear. Satrain was getting closer to the bush. Kasibeth and Jack held their breath and went rigid. Just when they throught Satrain would find them, a clap of thunder boomed from the sky. It was followed by massive lightning bolts. The sky was so bright that the light penetrated through the leaves of the bush they were sat in. 'Zaneth!' Satrain shouted, lightning was coiling around his arms, holding him back. Knowing that Zaneth would get him, Satrain transformed into his bat form and flew into the distance.
Jack and Kasibeth exited their hiding space and found themselves in the empty street once more. 'Thank you, father.' Kasibeth said. Jack put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. They both looked up into the sky... The stars shone brighter than before.
