Read & Review;
It was dark, as I heard whispers; but it was only one voice, the particular voice that made my skin crawl. The voice that was responsible of my unconsciousness ' come to me Nora…come to me,,,'
As I felt myself, walk towards the voice, simply obeying its request, and then there was a flash of bright light, as I felt pain. Burning pain, as I saw my wrist cut and bleeding, as blood gently tickled down my arm, pouring gentle drops to the ground.
And then everything was simply gone, it was dark and there was nothing.
I opened my eyes at a familiar room. As I heard someone breathing beside me, I turned to look and saw Jev, reading a really thick old book.
I gave out a sigh and sat up.
" what the hell happen?"
" you fainted…."
" yeah…I think I noticed that…."
" you seem to be fainting a lot lately, are you alright Angel." Closing the book and looked up at me, from his position at the floor.
" so it seems..did you see?"
" see what?"
" I assume you wanted to see the cause of my unconsciousness. I guess not.."
" you heard her again?" his eyes widen
I nodded at him and frowned, there was no sense at the vision I had. It was all too messy to understand.
Jev came to sit with me by the couch as he rub my leg.
" you saw something this time didn't you?"
I just stared at the carpet and rub my foot against it
" Angel…you need to tell me.."
" I saw bright light…then blood…lots of blood…" as I closed my eyes, trying to control myself from breaking into tears. I could still feel it, the heat, the pain, the smell of blood. It made me nauseous, as I gently rub my wrist, making sure it wasn't real.
Assuring myself that everything was just a dream, a vision tampered by Dabria. 'Nothing about it is real Nora.' I said to myself, as I felt a shiver run down my spine. I felt Jev, move closer to me and started to rub my back instead of my leg.
He started peppering kisses at the tears that stained my cheeks, and murmured reassuring words, comforting me in every ways possible, as he sent a thought in my head, its picture clear as morning.
It was the memory of us, at the beach last summer, before he left me for Marcie. He sent me an image of him winning me a teddy bear, and kissing me under the stars.
The thought made me smiled as turned to face him, and kiss him.
Soft and sweet, as our lips delicately met, washing all my fears away, blanketing me with warmth and reassurance. I sigh in our kiss, as I felt his tongue trace my lips.
We broke apart from the need to breathe, as we filled our lungs with the needed oxygen. I stared upon the pools of his dark eyes, and immediately felt desire, and I was sure that my eyes showed it, because before I knew it. I was in his arms, as he held me tight, and enveloped in a surreal moment.
The most passionate kiss of my life, it wasn't like always. This kiss was rushed, filled with desire, and yet, was radiating with tenderness, as his lips gently parted with mine, as we shared our breath and our tongues dance into an endless fight for dominance.
All the traces of the resent problems flew out the window, forgotten by the moment, as I lifted myself into my knees, pushing my body towards him, deepening the kiss even more, as I straddled his hips, filling his hands gently rubbing my waist, slowly lifting my shirt.
Jev broke our kiss, as his hand settled along my hips, his thumbs rubbing patterns along the exposed skin. It made me shiver with delight, as I stared upon his eyes.
Smiling at him, my heart pounding in exhilaration, as I panted for breath, looking up at his black pools, I saw love, the unspoken love and devotion of my angel. If it could, I think my heart just started beating even faster.
" you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen…" I whispered, meaning my every word. As my mind spoke of a different phrase ' if it were even possible.. I think I'm falling more and more in love with you each and every day…I love you, I wish you'd know that'
He gave me his perfect smiled, as I watch his eyes soften, he took my hands and held it up to his lips, and kiss them.
" I must disagree Angel, for the most beautiful thing in this world, is unknown to man. Because in my eyes, you are beautiful…My heart is as dark as my eyes, as selfish as my soul. I am nothing but darkness. And darkness is never beautiful….is it?" letting go of my hands as he caress my face
I closed my eyes, rested my chin by his shoulder and whispered to him " without darkness, I would have never found love…darkness is beautiful.." opening my eyes, as I looked at him with desire " because it is you…" I sigh and kept my gaze at him, " you are not selfish, nor is your heart black…you are kind and compassionate. The whole different fallen angel in this world, you are the one that cares…" I smirk and stroke his hair " and you are mine to have…"
He just looked at me, as he smiled and we shared another tender kiss.
' I love you…' the words engrave in my mind, with the very voice that I treasure in my heart.
One hour later, I found myself walking through the doors of my office at Hanks old warehouse, or should I start calling it My warehouse.
As I heard trailing footsteps following me from behind, which belonged to two particular boys that claimed a piece of my heart, Jev and Scott.
I turned around to face them, and sat atop my desk. As Scott closed and locked my office doors.
" so what do we know about her plan?" Scott asked first
Jev answered him, but kept his eyes on me. He wasn't too keen on letting Scott help, but I told him. he was the only one that was at least a little trust worthy.
" She's going to summon…." Clearing his throat, he sounded hesitant at his words, for that brief moment, he fought for words. " dare I say his name…..Lucifer…."
I felt my eyes widen and gasp escape my lips, I really didn't know who Darbia intended to summon, because Jev never told me. All the words he said were just titles, I thought he was talking about a greater demon.
He told me about how fallen's had the power to summon one. But this was far from greater. This was the father of them all.
I just stared at Jev as his jaw tense, the lights in my office started to blink, as the ground shook.
'an earthquake..in Coldwater?...impossible'
As I stared at the floor and held tightly at the edges of my mahogany desk, before I could say anything, I felt a cool hand touch mine, as the earthquake stop.
I looked up to see, dark concerned eyes.
" is this what you said? Name has powers?"
"..yes…."
" but we say the name of God all the time…"
"God is compassionate, our father has a heart…the devil does not…"
"I don't understand…..this never happen before, when I saw a kid, I used to watch my classmates play with names…."
"Children are innocent, they do not believe at a young age..but we…no I…have lived a thousand years, I've met him…and he is not to be played with…" his voice was filled with seriousness that his eyes grew darker.
" How do we stop her?" Scott asked, he was leaning at the door, his eyes, intense with that look of excitement. Only Scott could find excitement in this.
" we kill her…." Was all Jev said, as if it was a simple deed to be done
" but how…?" I asked tilting my head a little to the side " she won't die, your kind never dies…you live forever…."
Jev smirk in that mischievous way he does when he had a plan
" we catch her, tie her up…and wait…."
" what?" Scott and I said in union
Jev turned to look at Scott, " I have a friend…his going to be very mad, when he sees what Dabria did to his processions…"
"…Micheal…" I whispered, as Jev turned to look at me again, with a grin on his face.
" exactly…."
I just shook my head " I can't.." Scott looked at my way with a look of horror
" what'd you mean you can't….your what Dabria wants too you know…"
" well I can't…I have a ball tonight…" as I saw Jev look at me, with his eyebrow raise
" it's my debut tonight…..the company's throwing a party, it's a formal event, to introduce me, as the new owner of Hanks car industry….and I am also going to sign a deal with a top oil producer as a distributor….." Looking away from the eyes that were staring at me " I can't go..not tonight…"
I heard Jev sigh, when I turned to look at him, he had that strange calculating look on his face. A sight I dreaded sometimes, because these were the moments where he made the most absurd plans.
" I know that look….what are you thinking about Jev.." it was more of a statement than a question
" I got an idea…but you won't like it…." I just sigh as I heard him ask " what are you wearing tonight? "
I felt myself blush as he stared at me, with those piercing black eyes of his that made me feel Elysium.
"..Red.." I murmured slowly, as I felt my blush darken into the color I just said
Jev just chuckle, as his fingers lifted my chin. I saw him smirk
" well then….Looks like we're going to a party tonight, Parnell…"
" alright!" Scott said, his voice was evidently excited in many ways. As I heard him leave, the door opening and closing
I look at Jev " you still haven't told me your real plan.."
" the book I was reading…"
" the big fat old book?"
" its not that old….but anyways…it has instructions if I might say….it tells of old stories too.."
" what do you mean..this isn't the first time a fallen wanted to summon the great devil?"
" exactly…." Jev smirk " the story…it says that a summoning is never successful..because every time it is done..the angel that locked the devil away into the fires of hell, always appeared.."
"so..your thinking…by calling Michael..Dabria will be stop?"
" yes…"
" and what does this have to do with me?" I exclaimed, I really needed to go to this ball, and I really, really didn't want to be a part of Dabria's evil plans
" She needs you as a sacrifice…you blood…the blood of a fallen and Nephilim together, at the circle of summoning.."
I gasp…" my dream.."
" yes….and not only is it your blood….it is your body too…he is going to need a Nephil vessel…"
" are you telling me, Dabria is going to use me as a gift?"
" ..I'm afraid so…and I have an inkling that she has something valuable that I want too..because if she doesn't..She wouldn't be powerful enough to get a hold of your head.." As he took out the chain that was around his neck, it held a key, the very gold key I took for him.
" this…my dear, is the key to the missing instruments of heaven.."
I stared at him, with wide eyes, as I saw him smirk.
" she's going to use it to rise up an army….when I was going undercover, I would follower her at the middle of the night..she would go onto dark allies and find a Nephil…she had this whistle chained around her neck every day…she would sound the whistle and the Nephil would go into a trance…"
" but what are the Nephilims for?.." I trailed off; a part of me didn't want to know. Because something deep down in me, told me, this was something dark and evil.
" his going to need to change vessels every day….his too powerful, once he possess a nephil, that nephil will not last a week….his body will wither and die"
" but it's not even Cheshvan.."
" he doesn't need the week of Cheshvan to claim a vessel, not even fealty..this is the devil Nora….." Jev said all seriously, his jaw tensing at the thought of the greater fallen
I gulp, as I felt fear and anxiety flowing through my veins, my head pounding, as I blink, seeing fuzzy red lights floating above my head.
' Nora….come..come to me Nora..' the voice said, as I felt Jev, called my name, but it was faint, a mere echo. As Dabrias voice spoke cold as winter, it was so clear, it was as if she was right beside me, as she sang. ' Nora'
Before I knew it, I was back in reality, Jev holding me by the shoulders, staring at me, his brows furrow in concern.
" are you alright?"
" she wants me…" was all I said, as I felt cold chills in the air, making my skin crawl in fear.
