Thank you all for the reviews! I love you guys so much! Sorry it took me a while to get this chapter out. I couldn't find the time to write. I had been so busy this week. Enjoy this next chapter!
Ana's POV
His breath was hot. His skin was even hotter. The words that spilled from his lips were poisonous. My body shook with fear as he whispered my name in his ear. "Ana." I could feel the wetness from his mouth. I gulped hard. "Ana. I want you to stay with me. I can give you more. I can give you everything you've ever wanted. Power."
"No. I don't want that." I said.
"Everyone wants power. Think about it. You could control everything and everyone. They would all bow down before you, recognizing you for the immortal queen you are." I felt his hands caress my wings "They are truly, extraordinary. I've never seen anything like them in all the years I have ruled the underworld."
"Don't touch me." I spread my wings and lifted myself in the air, flying over to what I thought was the other end of pure darkness. Turning, I faced Satan.
"Oh, Ana. You want to be touched by me. You are an evil being. You will soon crave me. You'll want me, you'll want this." He levitated over to me, his face inches from mine. I flinched in response."you cannot escape it, my queen."
"I will never be your queen!" I spat.
I reached to push him away, but his hand caught my wrist. I could feel my skin, burning underneath his touch. The pain was excruciating. I held in the scream that threatened to escape my throat. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of the pain he was inflicting. "Oh, but you will," he hissed. "Once Christian is out of the way, it will be easier to," he paused, searching for the right words, " to make you mine."
Christian was everything to me. He was my guardian angel. He was the other part to my soul, literally my other half. The thought of anyone trying to threaten his life made my blood boil, my vein pulse. I wouldn't dare let anyone hurt him or take him away from me. He was the reason I existed, the only reason why I felt like I could take on the role to be like him and help others. Christian was the love of my life and I would be damned if I let anything happen to him, in this life or the next or any other life he may or may not live. I could feel something terrible inside me. I could feel the darkness, the evil that the others talked about. I was angry. How could I control this emotion when I have Satan down my neck threatening the life of the only thing that kept me whole? "You have another thing coming if you think you could ever remove Christian from my life and even if he was gone, I would still never be yours!" I spat. "You disgust me. You're evil and I am nothing like you, devil."
He laughed menacingly and made me shiver down to my core. "Oh but you are like me, Ana. There is so much you don't know about who you are and how you became to be this way."
"What way? There is no way! I am me! And nothing has changed." I screamed.
"You killed a human."
"He deserves it." I choked.
"That maybe so, but it is not in the nature for an Angel to kill, even one who was previously human. But you were made this way by accident."
"What are you talking about? Enough with these riddles!"
"The evil inside you, was not there before. It was created. And you wanna know who caused such a darkness to stir inside you?"
I stared at him for a long minutes, studying the lines of his face, the form of his mouth and his eyes. Although he was evil, his eyes were captivating. They held truth. "Who?"
"You're beloved, Christian."
Christians POV
The stars were shining brighter then usual. They were beautiful, almost as beautiful as the Angel that lied next to me in the grass. She looked so peaceful. Her eyes were closed and her body was relaxed. I'm sure she was beyond exhausted. I could see the lines under her eyes that slowly began to fade as she let her body shut down, retreated in a deep sleep. I touched the side of her face softly, caressing her perfect pale cheek in my hand. Her wings, folded underneath her as she keyed kn her back, made her look so small and fragile. However, I knew she was anything but that.
Ana, was the same as she had always been. When she was human, she was shy, easily scared, but deep down there was something more. She was brave and strong, a part of her that desperately needed to escape, a part of her that could have saved her human life. Now, Ana is all that and more.
But there is something else inside her, something I can't seem to figure out. When she saw Jack, her eyes changed. They went from a bright blue to dark with hint of red inside her pupils. I had never seen such a thing before, not in an Angel. Ana let her anger take over. She didn't have the ability to control herself or the way she felt towards the man who took her life. Maybe it was her human feeling taking over? However, if that were he case, it would cause her to kill.
Satan had said it was my fault as well as Gods. But how? How was it our fault? What did we do? God would never make her evil and I had nothing to do with her creation.
Ana stirring in her sleep, pulled me from my thought. She started to mumble and her body began to tremble. I looked at her face and watched as she formed an expression of fear and worry. "No!" She screamed. I turned over, facing her. I leaned over her body and gently shook her. "You will never hurt him!" Hurt who!? I questioned to myself.
"Ana, wake up!" I said quickly. "Please, get up."
Her head shook back and forth. "No, no. Get away from me!" She was facing something dark in her sleep. She wasn't in control and she was terrified. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Ana!" I screamed her name, lifting her to in an upright position. Her wings unfolded and spread out. "Dammit. Ana!" I yelled out to her one last time. Her hand shot up and took hold of my neck and her eyes shot open as she began to choke me.
Ana's POV
"I will take him from you, Ana." He hissed. "I am Satan. Ruler of the underworld and there is nothing you can do about. You're power, is no match for mine."
"You will never have him!" I yelled. I was shaking with fear, but I was also shaking with anger. I need to push the fear part aside. He was getting in my head. "No! You will never hurt him!" I let my annoyance show as well as my frustration. He was loving every minute of it.
He came closer, backing me against a wall that I couldn't see. He laid his hand on my chest. I turned my head to the right, shutting my eyes tightly, hoping it would block out Satan. "Ana," he leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Don't you want the world?" His question was serious. "I can give you more, I can give you what Christian can't."
Hearing Christians name come from his lips, disgusted me. "I don't want anything you have to offer. I don't want the world. I don't want more. I want an eternal life with Christian. The one whom I truly love. You could never compare." I spat at him. My fear was replaced with the confidence I had in our love. "You disgust me Satan. " I looked him over, making sure he saw the disgust in my expression. "I don't want anything to do with you, just like the rest of the world."
His eyes filled with hatred as I let the last words roll off my tongue. Reaching for my neck, he wrapped his hand around my neck, lifted me from the ground and threw me across the darkness. "I gave you an easy way out Ana. But it looks like we are going to have to do this the hard way."
I stretched out my wings and stood up. "Whatever way you you choose, you will never be on the receiving end. I will never choose you or to have anything to do with you."
"You will be mine." He said angrily. Raising his hand, it turned red. I suddenly felt my skin burn and I heard a crackling noise. Turning, I witnessed my wings being burned.. and the sudden pain was so unbearable,I could do nothing.
Nothing, but scream. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Satan moves forward and rubbed his index finger down my face. "I will have you." He chuckled deeply. "And I will kill, Christian."
I reached for his throat and grasped tightly, ignoring the burning pain. I wanted him dead and more than anything I wanted to protect Christian!
"Ana! Stop." I opened my to find Christian, my hand wrapped around his throat. I quickly let go and looked at my skin, touching it to feel if there are any flesh wounds. After seeing my flesh in tact, I looked back at my wings. They were also fine. Turning back to Christian, he had his hand lightly touching his neck and looking at me curiously.
"Christian." I panted. "I'm so sorry. I- I I didn't mean to."
"It's okay." He said.
I jumped at him, holding on tightly, not wanting to let him go. "I was so scared."
"You were dreaming, Ana."
"Christian, that wasn't a dream." I cried. "Satan is getting into my mind. He was there, taunting me, threatening me. He was threatening you." Looking up at him, I could see the worry he tried to hide.
"Are you positive, Ana?"
"Nothing has ever felt more real." I said softly.
"Let's go." He got up quickly, reaching for my hand.
"Where?" I asked.
"God and Michael need to know about this."
"Do we have to bring Michael into this?" I questioned. "He already doesn't like me or approve of Gods decision to create me. I'm pretty sure this will just be another reason as why he feels I don't belong."
"Don't you worry about Michael. He likes you. He's just cautious because we've never experienced a situation like yours."
"I guess. I didn't ask for this." I stated. "He could at least be a little nicer."
Christian chuckled. "I'll let him know."
"This isn't funny, Christian." I tried my best not to laugh.
"Come on." I took his hand, letting him guide us through the air and back to heaven.
Satan's POV
"Fuck!" I yelled. "That little bitch really tried to fucking choke me!" I paced back and forth, trying to think.
"Um Master?" I turned to see one of my devils, standing at the entrance to my quarters. "Is everything alright?"
"What the hell do you think?" I kicked the table, sending across the room. "This is going to be harder then I thought, Gobi." I breathed out heavily. "She is too wrapped up in that stupid angel Christian. I won't be able to seduce her this way. Christian needs to die. It is the only way."
"Sir, you know God will never let you get close enough to one of his angels to kill them. And even if you do, what would happen next. He would never forgive you or let you get away with know consequences."
"You don't think I don't know that!" I spat out. "Which is why we must form a plan that would be successful."
"If I may ask, why the sudden interest in the Angel with dark wings?" Gobi asked the question carefully, reluctantly.
"I have never seen anything like her before. She has something inside that will be useful to me. I sense an evil presence."
"Is that all?"
"She's also beautiful. Very beautiful actually, it's almost intense."
Gobi was my most trusted devil and has been for more then five thousand years. I would never tell anyone else such a thing, but Gobi had my trust. "What you feel is real?"
"What I feel is lust, nothing more." I thought to myself a moment. "I need her for my plan but at the same time I have this urge to have her."
"My lord, I may have an idea that will get you heaven and your queen."
"I'm listening."
"I think it is high time you put Jack to use. Maybe her rage will be easily brought to the surface which will make it easier to, um, how do I say, persuade her."
I was hoping I would be able to seduce her with my own words, but Gobi is right. I need to buy Jack to use. He would be the perfect bait. "Gobi, you absolutely prime evil."
"Thank you, majesty."
"Now go." I said. "Get jack ready. I have to come up with a way to get Ana alone. Christian is always in the fucking way."
"Why don't you get him out of the way first?" Gobi asked while walking away.
I took a seat in my chair and rubbed my fingers on the side of my chin. "I think I just might."
