Heaven 9
Thanks for the awesome review to the people who did review. I am still working on the plans for the Constantine and Legion Cross over and the Friday the 13th story, to top that off I got an Idea for a Longmire story and then there are the books that I am writing. Please enjoy the stories and I will get this story done soon J
I looked toward the sound of the voice…catching sight of the little kid, mouth covered in blood and eyes black as night. "Shit." I yelled, as the kid ran over to Charlie, knife in hand slicing at her belly. Charlie yelled and fell backward, grabbing a silver tray trying to block the little child from stabbing her. I warmed up my hand and made a blade made of fire and shot it in his direction, cutting off his thumbs. He looked at me and grimaced "Century you stupid bitch! You really think you are going to stop us from getting to the child! Something's never change!"
I smirked "You're certainly right, some things don't change"
Charlie kicked the kid out of the way as Michael skipped over the counter, aiming a gun in front of him in the direction of where the child was kicked "Where is he? Where is he?" Charlie said in a panic. Before we could see him, the lights were shut off again and we were enclosed in complete darkness "Turn the lights on! Turn the lights on!" Audrey yelled
"Century!" Michael yelled
I built a light with the fire in my hands and tried to illuminate the room. The little kid was nowhere to be found; all that was left was bloody handprints along the floor. I followed the trail up the wall and onto the ceiling as it disappeared suddenly in the middle of the ceiling… "What the hell?" Bob asked.
The realization came to me too late "Shit! Bob behind you!" I yelled as the child wrapped his arms around his back and bit into his back. Causing bob to scream out in pain. I couldn't get a clear shot at the child. Bob picked up the child and threw him across the room. Michael managed to shoot him in midair and the kid hit the ground. Before I could think the kid could get up I shot fire in his direction lighting the kid on fire. When the body was nothing but ash, I stopped.
"Are you alright?" Michael asked me
I nodded "You?"
He nodded.
Suddenly Charlie doubled over in pain and held her stomach. Michael and I both turned and looked at her. Charlie looked into my eyes and said "It's coming."
Michael had Charlie up against his chest, they were sitting on the floor "Just because we are girls does not mean that we know how to do this!" Audrey yelled
"Audrey, go and get me some water, a towel and some bandages." I said I looked at Charlie who was crying in pain "Alright Charlie, You are going to have to do something that you have never done before, you are going to have to push really hard."
"That is right you are going to have to push like you have never pushed before."
"How do you know what to do?" Audrey said
"Audrey! Now!" I yelled to her.
"Push! Charlie!" Michael yelled
Charlie let out one of the most painful screams. But one thing even drowned out the sound of the pour girls screams, the sound of a horn…I shivered then completely froze in fear. I knew that horn anywhere. "Oh no." Michael Said quietly
"What was that?!" Audrey yelled
"He's coming." Michael said "Century we have to hurry."
"This isn't something that we can just hurry!" Audrey yelled
"Century!" Michael yelled for me
I was still frozen in complete fear, the very thought that Gabriel was going to be here after the child. My eyes were frozen on Charlie's stomach "Century! We have to go! We have to get this done now!"
The sudden slap against the side of my face woke me up to what was going on in the room. It sent me back to reality. I looked at Audrey whose hand was turning red 'I am sorry. I am so sorry."
I looked at Charlie "Push Charlie!" I yelled "Push!"
She let out another scream as she gave one last push to get the baby out, and that final push was what she needed. The sudden cry caused me to smile "Thank God the baby is alright." I said slightly "Audrey, go and get me a knife or a pair of scissors, I need to but the umbilical cord."
She took off into the back as I wrapped the small baby boy up into a towel. "It's a boy, it's a healthy little boy." It caused a slight tear slipped down my face as I cut the umbilical cord, and held the baby, trying to calm him down "Would you like to hold him?" I asked Charlie
She looked away from me and I sighed, I hadn't gotten through to her at all. I kissed the child slightly on the forehead, the warmth calming him down slightly "Audrey, here take the baby."
Audrey reached down and took the baby, rocking it slightly. I took a seat, almost tired at the fact that I had to help giving birth to a child. I whipped my forehead and looked at Charlie, Michael slipped himself from behind Charlie and sat next to me "I am so proud of you." He said touching my face and kissing the side of my head.
The fear was still erupting from my thoughts. The sudden pain in my shoulder blades and my wrist hit me again and I shook "Gabriel."
Michael took my face in his hands "Listen to me! Listen to me! I am going to make sure that no one is going to hurt you. I am not going to let him hurt you. He will have to get through me."
He helped me up off of the ground and I went running with her over to Audrey to help take care of the baby, she was sitting with her mother showing the baby to her "Audrey I am so sorry for what I said, from now on it is just you and me." Sandra said
Something told me that she was working up something. I didn't say anything but it worried me. Jeep and Bob suddenly came bolting down the stairs "Something is coming!"
Michael looked at each of us, "Now that the baby is born he isn't going to stop, he is going to want to stop us from protecting the baby."
Who is it? Who is coming?!"
"He sent someone to do the job that I wasn't going to do."
"You were supposed to kill the baby weren't you?"
Michael didn't say anything; instead he started to pack himself up "We have to get the baby as far away from him as possible."
I agreed but Charlie started to get antsy "What the hell is going on."
"We have to get out of here! Now!"
"Michael Answer me!" Charlie yelled
"The child was never meant to be born." Michael stated.
Charlie looked to Audrey, "Audrey, give me the baby, Give him to me now."
Suddenly Sandra stood from the chair that I thought that she was tied down to, taking the baby "Audrey come with me, come with me right now!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"He just wants the baby that is all he wants, so I am going to give him the baby."
"Give me the baby right now!" Charlie yelled with a slight growl. A bright light glowed through the gapes in the door and shined inside of the dinner
"Why?! You didn't even want him in the first place!" Sandra yelled "It's just one baby, just one Baby."
The door suddenly burst open around Sandra and hit the walls. Gripping onto Sandra and pulling her slightly. Michael shot her in the head and Sandra was pulled through the door, the baby left Sandra's hands but Jeep managed to catch the baby as the large body walked through the door. He was muscular, his short brown hair cut, his armor griped to his skin…"Gabriel."
He didn't look around at any of us, he was just looking at Jeep, and the baby. He swung his mace down but Jeep rolled away from him, getting on his feet and gripping to the child. Bob attacked trying to get a clear shot at him with no avail. Gabriel swung around, his wings wrapping around him protecting him as bullets ricochet off of his wings. Michael pushed me back and went in to attack but not before Gabriel got a good hit to bob, right in the stomach slicing his stomach open, then he swung his fist and sent Bob flying across the room "Dad!"
Michael stopped pushing Jeep, Charlie and Audrey back "Go to Red Ridge look for the prophets and read the instructions."
'What prophets? What instructions?"
"Just get the child out of here!" I yelled closing the door in front of them and locking it tightly before looking toward the two who had stopped in the middle of the dining room. Gabriel's wings folded behind him, he didn't see me. I was afraid of seeing him again, so close to me, I knew by now, he would kill me.
"I was hoping it wouldn't come to this Gabriel."
Gabriel looked over Michael "I feel the same way Michael." Then he looked past Michael "Your wings…They would have helped you now."
"Yes, I know."
"You were always so eager to please him." Michael stated,
"Unlike you, the rebellious son."
Michael was straight "I am trying to show him, trying to get him to understand he cant give up on his children. You are just the child craving attention…you even through your most beloved out of the sky so that you would please him."
"I did it because she broke a law of heaven. I did what I had to do."
"No, you didn't." I finally said stepping from the shadows and showing myself. Until now I was terrified of Gabriel. I realized then, I couldn't be afraid anymore.
Gabriel turned and looked at me, his eyes showed shock, surprise. "Century?"
I stood firm, looking at him "Hello, Gabriel."
"How are you still alive?"
I smirked and closed my eyes "Willpower I guess. The thought that someday, I may be able to return home."
"You cannot." He said as if I was a child asking permission. "You were speaking to Lucifer."
"See Gabriel, you are wrong…and I am going to prove it to you, see, I learned a new trick while I was down here, what you forgot to do when you booted me out of heaven, was take away the gifts that you gave me." I took the steps forward until I was standing toe to toe. I reached up and touched his face letting him see what I actually did that morning. He stepped backward from my touch but it was too late, he has already seen what I was going to show him.
"I loved you Gabriel. And you broke my heart."
Michael took me by the hand and pulled me back, Gabriel's eyes watching me as I was pushed behind Michael for security. Then Michael then took hold of Gabriel in a brotherly embrace "It's enough, it's over."
Gabriel took hold of Michael's arm and looked at him…"It's never over."
