Chapter 7
Midnite's - Part 2
Balthazar
I looked at John, he was shocked and more than slightly angry. Magic flared around him, laced with Presence of God.
I flinched at it.
He growls "What are you doing back here?".
I smirked at him, rolling the coin around because I was nervous.
"Is that anyway to greet an old friend?." Trying to hint at what I knew about him.
"You are not my friend. What do you want? Bally."
"Has anyone ever told you Johnny-boy that you look like an Angel.
I should know, I used to be one after all."
The magic faded in shock. From my compliment, or the fact I was Fallen sinking in.
Smoke wafted back around us. His eyes glowed impossible gold in it.
The Half-breeds were whispering to each other. Looking back at the others, all their eyes glowing red or gold.
John's eyes brighter than all of the Half-Angels' combined into one.
They had known , of course.
The Half-Angels whispering "He does look like Lieru. Alot like him. Could it be true?"
The Half-Demons just hissing to each other in Hellspeak.
Smoke vanished , gold fading to brown/black.
"Where in Hell did that come from?."
Midnite's voice suprising both of us. "John, Balthazar. Come join me, in the back."
As we walked with Midnite ,even he was wary of John.
Midnite gestured for us to sit. I stopped rolling my coin.
Stole the chair, smirking again at the glare.
"You could just sit with me. Johnny-boy."
The desk rattled, the zombie at the door groaning, as things fell off the desk.
"Balthazar, stop baiting him. Immedaitly, John sit down take the chair at the wall."
Midnite's dark eyes observing the unaware Archangel.
Midnite's own magic seemed to be stronger, more wary.
John walked over to the wall, looking at the heavy chair and the desk.
Wondering how he was going to move it , before he shrugged and pulled it.
He sat down beside me, ignoring me, looking only at Midnite.
"Midnite what is Bally, talking about?. How come I know he wasn't just trying to creep me out.
How can he be Fallen? You said they couldn't come down here! or Up here in his case."
"The rules have Changed. The most powerful Angels and Demons have been sent at various times as Half-breeds.
On to the Earth, to help or harm. Balthazar is one such. He used to be the Angel Balthazael.
Balthazael was the friend of the Seraph-Archangel Uriel."
John was looking at me again. More specifically at the remnants of my feathers.
As one more fell off, onto the spiritual floor.
"Humoring you. O.K , so some how Balthazar was good once. The Bastard wasn't always one, shocking.
But what does that have to do with Bally calling me an Angel?! Why were the Half-breeds saying I looked like Leiru?, How could I look Uriel?"
"Because Constantine, as far I and the Half-breeds are concerned along with Lucifer, you are Uriel! Though , everyone thought Uriel was dead?,' I said trying to convince the Exorcist ,' Just barely, your eyes glowed brighter gold, than all the Half-breeds and Angels' combined!. Your powers are nearly impossible to comprend. You always were rather more attractive. You must have noticed that. Pretty boy."
John shakes his head. Disbelieving. Damn Gabriel for not telling him, wait Gabriel already was.
He gets up stalking out the door.
John
My thoughts were going everyway and more.
One playing over and over.
'How can I be Uriel, be an Angel and not know.
After everything I've done. If its' true , Midnite thinks it is, you saw him. You heard him.
Why would God have damned me to Hell, before this if I was his Angel.
Let me kill myself. Not help me. How can I be Uriel? How?'
It was raining outside Midnite's.
Looking at the rain, staring up into the sky. Covered except for one , bright star. Almost like it was on fire.
The star almost seemed to get brighter, like it was trying to trigger something.
Something I didn't know trying to come back.
It almost felt like I was falling. Falling into nothing, into everything.
Changing me. What was happening to me?
Who was I?
