Chapter 13
Earlier...
A cruel smirk graced a lone figure's face as the girl left her room. It was the perfect moment to strike, but he wouldn't have it. He wanted to wait until later. Little did he know that working with a demon could have its drawbacks. For one, they couldn't be trust, and another, they were bloodthirsty.
"We strike tonight. Those are my orders," spoken to seemingly no one, yet she was the only one who could hear her brothers' vicious cries.
Now...
"What are you doing here?" Machidiel asked Chloe. She jumped in surprise. She hadn't noticed him in the dark night. Machidiel had been confused when he had felt her presence heading towards his house. Worried, he had raced toward the girl. He was relieved to find that she was not harmed.
"I came to see you," she answered, walking closer to him.
"At this time of night? You could have been hurt!" Chloe rolled her eyes. He was always worring about her well being.
"But I wasn't! So you should calm down, and invite me in." At her word, Machidiel ushered her in the door. He surveyed the the streets that surrounded his house. He felt a disturbance in the air. The angel didn't know what it was, but he knew something was wrong.
Machidiel walked farther into his house to see Chloe and his sister, Fathriel, talking adamantly. "...I've never seen a blade like that..." Chloe was saying. Fathriel was holding her archangel blade closely at her side.
"You shouldn't have that out," Machidiel said, shooting the angel a warning look.
Fathriel rolled her eyes, "I thought you were going to tell her! Don't tell me you are going to continue hiding behind all these secrets." Machidiel sighed at her tactless words. Fathriel wasn't one to hide secrets from friends.
Perplexed, Chloe glanced between the two siblings."If this is a bad time..."
"No, Fathriel's right. I should tell you," Machidiel muttered, gaze locked on the floor.
Fathriel showed her support by patting her brother on the back.
"You should sit," he said, gesturing towards a chair. After they all had settled in a chair, Machidiel began his story.
"Before I start, I should tell you this story is going to sound outrageous. Hell, it's incredibly outrageous, but it's the truth. I would never lie to you," Machidiel explained. Chloe was frightened by the desperate tone in his voice. He was usually so calm and collected that she had never seen him look so terrified as he did know.
"First you need to know that Fathriel and I don't come from Greece," He began. He took a deep breath and continued, "We come from Heaven."
"What?" Chloe asked, bewildered.
"We're angels in other words," Fathriel stated. "But We haven't been welcome in Heaven in many centuries."
"The thing is Chloe. You aren't human. Your mother, your real mother, was an angel. Your father was a demon." Machidiel said in a rush. Chloe shook her head in disbelief. "Your mother, Sofiel, fell in love with the demon, Alistair. When Heaven threatened to destroy Alistair, Sofiel left to be with him. She became pregnant with you soon after. Before she died, she intrusted Fathriel and I with your care, and we have protected you ever since."
"This can't be true. I have a mother and a father, and neither of their names are Sofiel and Alistair," Chloe said. Machidiel could tell that she was having a debate with herself. The logical part dismissed this story, but the part that trusted Machidiel still fought.
"This is true, but this is the second life you've lived. You seem to be able to reincarnate," Fathriel said, fiddling with her archangel blade.
"I didn't want to tell you this in fear that you wouldn't believe me, but I needed to protect you. This was the only way," the other angel said, looking steady at Chloe.
"I hope you understand this is hard to believe, but I know you would never lie," Chloe said, going over to wrap her arms around Machidiel.
They stood there in silence until Chloe whispered, "I just need time to completely deal with this."
"Of course."
"I need to get home," Chloe said, before quickly leaving the room. The angels heard the front door shut not to long afterward.
Machidiel put his hand in his hands, "I messed up. She doesn't believe me."
Fathriel made a noise of disgust," Don't be so dramatic. Of course she needs time! That isn't the easiest story to comprehend!"
They stood in silence for a few minutes. Machidiel breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad I got that over with!"
His sister rolled her eyes, "How about some wine. Lets see if an angel can actually get drunk!"
As soon as she left to get the wine, Machidiel felt a blinding pain in his skull. He could hear someone screaming. He gripped his head as the pain subside only to be replaced by another wave of pain. He recognized the voice: Chloe. He ran to find his sister pouring wine into two goblets. Noticing his pained expression, she splashed the wine over the table in her haste to get to her brother.
"What is it, Brother?" She asked, placing her hands on his shoulders.
"It's Chloe! There's something wrong with her!" he said, through the pain coursing through his veins.
"What are you waiting for! Lets go!" She said, before snapping out of the kitchen, brother in tow.
As Chloe made the journey back to her bedroom, she thought about what Machidiel had explained to her. It was almost impossible to believe, but Chloe knew she could trust him. She would just have to put her faith in him, and hopefully she wouldn't be disappointed.
Chloe had begun the climb up to the window frame, when she heard the foreign shuffling. There appeared to be more than her sister in the room.
Chloe peered in to see a figure standing over her sister's bed. The stranger held a blade, like Fathriel's, painstakingly close to Jessica.
"What are you doing!" Chloe yelled out, worried for her sister's well-being.
Chloe ran towards the stranger. Before she reached her, she felt hands reach out and grab her.
"This doesn't concern you," the stranger smirked. Chloe could know tell the intruder was in fact a female.
In all the commotion, Jessica had begun to awaken. Still hazy from sleep, she murmured," What's going on?"
Chloe watched the girl bring the blade even closer to her sister's flesh, "No!" Chloe fought against the hands that held her, but it was useless. They were immensely stronger than her.
The intruder turned to shoot Chloe a wicked grin," You should be happy we don't do the same to you."
Jessica looked like she was slowly coming to terms with what was going on,"why don't we just calm down, and talk about this."
"There's nothing to discuss." She then plunged the blade into Jessica's chest. Chloe watched as the crimson red fluid ran out of the wound in her chest. Jessica groaned and fell back on the bed. Chloe screamed at the sight. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.
The hands released her, and Chloe realized that they had left.
Chloe ran to her sister's side. Her eyes were closed, and blood was still pouring out of the gash. it wouldn't be long before Jessica bled out.
Chloe's eyes burned with the amount of tears pouring out.
Chloe felt the hot tears run down her face, as her sister's eyes fluttered open.
"Sister, don't cry! Jessica said, smiling. She tried to reach up to wipe her sister's face free of tears, but she didn't have the energy. Her hand flopped back down on the bed.
Chloe reached to cradled her sister's hand in hers. "How can I not. You are dying!" Chloe's tears splashed on Jessica's face.
"Don't cry on me! Just remember I love you, Sister, and can you tell Dareios that..." Jessica's eyes fluttered closed, before she could finish her sentence.
"Jessica," Chloe shook her sister, trying to get her to wake up. "Jessica?"
"JESSICA!"
Duh! Duh! Duh! Is Jessica dead? Stay tuned to the next chapter! Oh, and review!
