Chapter 12.
Ana
"Are you telling me that she is my sister?" Beal looked like he didn't want to be the one giving him this information.
"Yes Samyaza told me so himself." he said with sympathy in his voice.
Ana just sat staring at the floor thinking about everything that she had found out and that had happened over the past 3 days.
She had found out she had fallen for a demon, but not just any demon she had fallen for Lucifer. She had found out she wasn't human, her father who she thought had died before she was born wasn't her father, her sister was only her half sister, her mother had been tricked into sleeping with a really powerful angel and she was pregnant with Lucifer's baby.
She burst out laughing hysterically until tears streamed down her face and her stomach hurt she looked up to see everyone in the room looking at her like she had lost her mind and maybe she had because no way was this a normal reaction. "How the fuck has this all happened in three days?" She didn't realise that she had said this out loud she also hadn't realised that the tears from laughing had turned into real tears.
She looked up at Beal who was looking at her like he wished he could just make everything better. She knew she liked him and could trust him he had a kindness that put her at ease.
"Is Sara still alive?" Ana asked not sure if you truly wanted the answer.
" No I'm afraid not because her powers had been blocked by the witch, she lived her life as a human and died as a human. As far as we know you are the only one of his children who has come into your powers." When he said this something hit her like a ton of bricks.
"Are you trying to say I'm immortal? Wait am I a demon? What are my Nephilim powers and what are the powers caused by Christians essence?" She had so many questions she just wanted a step by step guide as to what was happening and what was to come.
"Slow down Kitten I think we need to talk more with your father and get as much information..."
"He isn't my father Christian my father died before I was born." She said with no emotion in her voice she felt a little numb.
"You're right I'm sorry sweetheart. We need to talk to Samyaza and find out what powers he possesses chances are you will have similar if not the same powers as him. That will give us an idea of which powers are from him and which ones are from me. As for you being Immortal even if you weren't a Nephilim you would be Immortal because of my essence."
"Wait but you said if I don't have your essence regularly that I would grow weak and eventually die. I don't understand how that's possible if I am Immortal because I'm half angel or how it can be possible if your essence makes me Immortal." She was so confused nothing made sense.
"Ana you are carrying my child I am the most powerful being In the world. This baby will demand a lot from you physically while you are carrying him or her. You may be a Nephilim but that doesn't mean you are strong enough to carry this baby without needing me, my essence has enough power to keep boosting yours. To keep you healthy if you didn't have my essence after a few days maybe a week at most, now that we know you are a Nephilim, this baby would drain your power. After your power has gone the only thing he or she has left to feed off is your life and you would die. So you can see why I wanted you here. As soon as I realised what my demon had done I knew that you would need me, and often. Being a Nephilim means that it would take a little longer for you to be drained of your life but it would eventually happen without me. Once the baby is born you will be Immortal well in the sense that you will never die of natural causes but that doesn't mean you can't be killed." He looked close to raging saying this like the mere idea of it made him want to hunt and kill something.
"Is it the same for you?" she asked hating the idea of a world without him in it she could understand why he was angry just talking about her death because she felt the same at the thought of his.
"No I am Immortal in the truest sense of the word I cannot be killed not that it stops people or demons trying." He smiled a wicked smile that she couldn't help laughing at.
"Good the idea of anything happening to you makes me sick." Saying it out loud made her realise how important he had become to her in such a short space of time. She looked up at him smiling down at her like she was his everything.
"The feeling is mutual beautiful" he said while kissing her hand she looked down blushing and feeling her heart so full of love she thought it would burst.
"Brother I hate to interrupt but I need to know how you want to move forward with what you have learned today."
Ana looked up at Beal and before Christian could answer she stood up drawing everyone's attention to her. "I want to meet him" Beal looked confused at first, she saw the moment who she was talking about hit him and he looked straight to Christian waiting for his answer.
"HELL FUCKING NO ANA THAT IS NOT HAPPENING EVER GET THAT FUCKING IDEA OUT OF THAT PRETTY FUCKING HEAD OF YOURS." he was shouting this in demonic voice. which she was sure would scare anyone else but she knew that he would never hurt her plus she had every right to meet him. She had things she wanted to say to him if she had the power she would also want the chance to end the fuckers life after what he did to her Mom. .
She just stared at him watching him breathing deeply slowly calming down. " Are you done shouting or do you need me to sit down until you have finished throwing your toys out of the pram?" He looked like she had just slapped him. She could see he was at a total loss for words. yeah this guy was so used to people doing as they were told around him. Well he was in for a big shock with her, yes somethings she would allow him to have control over her because she wasn't stupid she knew when he was protecting her and when she needed his protection. However on this she was not giving in.
"Christian you have just told me you are the most powerful being right?" He nodded but looked like he wanted to say something else so she quickly continued. "Ok so you would be with me when I go to see him, no one will hurt me if I am with you. I have right to meet my... well you know, I have the right to meet him." she couldn't say the word father because as far as she was concerned he wasn't.
"No sorry Ana the answer is no." He huffed crossing his arms over his chest like that was the end of the discussion poor delusional demon.
"Christian you mistake me sweetness, so listen carefully." She walked up to him holding his face. "I AM NOT FUCKING ASKING I AM TELLING YOU I WILL MEET THE MAN THAT DID THIS TO ME AND MY MOTHER." She kissed him taking him by surprise before pulling back looking up at him. "Now you can either help me and protect me or I will find another way. I would prefer you to take me as I would feel a lot safer." She knew the second he sighed and closed his eyes that she had won.
"Fine, please give me time, a few days at least just to prepare everything I need to know you and the baby are safe you need to remember Ana it's not just you anymore you are pregnant."
She looked down at her stomach when he said this smiling the knowledge that she was pregnant was beginning to excite her. She looked back up to find Christian smiling at her.
She moved back to the sofa sitting back down getting comfortable Christian sitting down pulling her up against him. When suddenly every demon in the room growled. She sat forward terrified of what was happening. She turned around to look at Christian his eyes black, and fangs had grown from his top teeth, he was snarling. Ana moved away as fast as she could scrambling backwards falling of the sofa. What the fuck was it with her falling of fucking sofas thanks to these bloody demons.
"Christian what's happening? your scaring me he was over to her in seconds holding her tight against him "Find him NOW!" he snarled at his brothers who all shimmered out at the same time.
"Christian speak to me please." Was she just going to find out how he looked in his full demon form bit by terrifying bit. For fuck sake what ever happened to just ripping of the band aid she was so tempted to just tell him to change So that next time she wouldn't nearly pee herself in fear when a new aspect of his demon showed.
He looked down at her with a smile that didn't touch his eyes "You will see my demon soon enough kitten when we visit Samyaza until then I will try and keep him from scaring you I am sorry. He stroked her cheek gently looking worried.
"Christian what just happened." She felt sick with dread waiting for the answer she had a feeling she already knew.
"Asmodeous has been hiding here we don't know how long or what he has heard but something tells me he has been here the whole time." He looked furious.
"How did no one know wouldn't at least one of you know?" Thankfully the way she said it didn't sound like she was accusing them of not being careful.
"He was with Lilith as soon as she shimmered out we could smell her. We then felt him shimmer out. Lilith is an incredibly powerful witch she is also set to marry Asmodeous one day. I am sure he has promised her something for her to help him, as she despises him."
"Why would she marry him if she despises him?" She asked confused.
"Power, demons don't usually marry for love Ana in fact I have never heard of any demons marrying for love."
This thought was so depressing Ana felt the tears burning her eyes does that mean that he wasn't capable of loving her. Suddenly she wanted to be in her own apartment alone. She swallowed down the sob that threatened to escape her throat before moving to get up of the floor she hadn't realised she was still sat on.
"Ana what's wrong?" He looked so confused at her sudden shift in mood.
"Nothing I just need some space." She refused to look at him but she could hear the tears in her own voice. He grabbed her by the hand spinning her back around to face him refusing to let her walk away from him.
"Ana tell me what I said please baby" She looked down feeling so overwhelmingly tiered.
"I...it doesn't matter" she didn't know what to say to him. What could she say. 'I'm scared that you can't love me' not a chance could she ever say that. She would feel way to vulnerable to do that. As it turned out she didn't need to because he took this moment to listen in to her thoughts.
He lifted her chin up so that she was looking at him she could see the tenderness in his eyes. "Ana I said I have never seen a Demon marry for love and it's true." She looked down even though he still held her chin refusing to let her put her head down. He kissed her lips then spoke again.
"Ana sweetheart we aren't married YET so of course I haven't seen a demon marry for love YET." At these words she looked up at him with so much hope she was scared to dream that what he was saying meant that he did in fact love her she didn't think she would survive the pain of being wrong.
"Ana since the day I saw you carrying your boxes through the lobby the day you moved in here I was obsessed with you. That only grew the longer I watched you from afar. Then when I met you in person I knew then that I was falling for you I may have even been in love that night. It may only be 3 days for you but for me it's been weeks."
Ana couldn't speak what the actual fuck he had been watching her for weeks she knew that she should have been a little creeped out by his admission but all it did was make her love him more. She stared up at him. Her mouth hanging open until he gently closed it before placing a gently kiss on her lips. Just as she went to deepen the kiss Beal shimmered in.
Christian didn't look away from her when he greeted his brother. "Beal any news?"
They both looked at him noticing a woman at his feet on her knees her head bowed. Her stunning flame red hair hanging down to the floor. Ana instinctively stepped forward wanting to help her when Christian held her around the waist looking at her shaking his head saying not to move. She stood still just staring at the girl waiting for someone to say something, anything.
"Stand and look at me" Christian said this in his Demon voice again making Ana turn to look at him she took as step back at his appearance. He was now in what she presumed was his full demon form he was magnificent. His black eyes she noticed had white specks that came through making them glow. He must have grown to at least 7ft, his hair was slightly longer. He had 3 sets of wings coming out of his back. They looked so soft that she just wanted to stroke them, that was of course if you didn't count the spikes at the bottom of each wing that caused a spark every time they scraped across the marble floor. His fangs that she saw earlier had grown to below his chin he was both deadly and incredible at the same time. She could see why the girl on the floor was now visibly shaking. If she was in her place she was pretty sure she would not just be shaking she would screaming in a corner.
Christian looked down at her before holding his hand out to her she hadn't realised she had stepped back from him quite a few feet until he spoke.
"Ana come here do not fear me Kitten, come." She took his hand the spark they usually shared was like an electric jolt through her body that almost made her knees buckle. He caught her around the waist before she could fall.
"Oh shit" she mouthed he just smiled even with his huge fangs he was beautiful and for some reason all she wanted was to feel those fangs pierce her neck as he pounded inside her core the thought of this had her moaning. She felt like she was about to explode, when she pulled her hand away from him. What the fuck was he doing his brother was behind him, with some poor girl who was clearly terrified and he thought that what ever he was doing to her that was bringing her closer and closer to an orgasm was fucking funny.
She shouted as loud as she could in her head to get him to stop when he smiled and winked at her. What ever he had been doing instantly stopped she collapsed against him making sure he heard when she called him an asshole in her head.
Thankfully no one had seen or heard this exchange. Or so she thought until she turned around, she saw Beal stood behind the girl with a knowing smile on his face. Perfect she thought giving Beal a dirty look before turning her gaze to the shaking girl who from the looks of her had definitely not noticed any of this. She was now stood her head still bowed her hair covering her face.
Christian ever the professional changed from playful to deadly in seconds.
"Lilith what do you have to say for yourself."
"If I tell you he will Kill me" She hissed wow this girl had balls considering how he looked right now.
Ana was so tempted to cough to try and get the girls attention so she could do the universal swipe across the neck thing. Not in a I'm gonna kill you way, but in a babe shhhhhh look he is mad kinda way but she doubted that would have gone down well with anyone considering the seriousness of the situation.
"If you don't tell me I will kill you" Christian growled deep in his demonic voice. Ana had been expecting him to shout it, she was prepared for it, but the demonic growl was way more terrifying. Once again she found herself stepping away from him only to find him pulling her back.
Lilith kept her head down her shoulders slumped like she had given up. Ana kinda felt sorry for her looking at her like this she looked so helpless.
"Ana don't let her appearance fool you Lilith is highly dangerous why do you think it is Beal that is holding her?" Christian said pulling her attention away from Lilith. Ana just shrugged her shoulders. telling him she had no idea. He looked over at Beal.
"Beal isn't just a Demon he is also a warlock in fact he is that most powerful warlock to ever exist. Which is why I gave him the power to rule over all warlocks and witches including Lilith. He is the only other Demon other than me that can control her. She is incredibly dangerous believe me and she is without a shred of humanity. She will kill you without thinking twice isn't that right Lilith?" She said nothing until Christian roared behind her.
"ANSWER ME WITCH!" Ana screeched and jumped before putting her hand over heart trying to stop it jumping out of her chest he really needed to stop doing that or she was going to have a heart attack.
Ana turned to face Lilith as she looked from the ground. She was beyond beautiful with the brightest green eyes she had ever seen that stood out more against her flame red mass of curly her hair that fell in thick curls down to below her bottom her skin pale with a slight pink blush on her cheeks her plump lips looked naturally red. She was wearing a white dress the kind you would expect a Greek goddess to wear. It was long coming down to the floor with long splits up each leg reaching to her waist showing that she obviously wasn't wearing any underwear. What looked like thin soft white rope was tied in a cross cut under her bust lifting them up high and coming down to cross around her waist she had gold sandals that had buckles up the sides reaching to just under her knees. She was gorgeous.
Lilith didn't answer she just turned smiling a smile that was anything but friendly in fact it screamed pure evil. Ana took a step back into Christians front. He put his arm around her at the same time Beal put his hand over Lilith's mouth. I guess they knew something Ana didn't because seconds later Beal bowed slightly before shimmering out taking Lilith with him.
Ana turned around noting Christian had changed back to his usual self she was a little disappointed she liked the wings. As soon as that thought went through her head his wings opened up behind him she looked up at him with a huge smile on his face he simply winked down at her. She reached out to stroke the feathers on one of his wings they felt like silk she notice Christian closing his eyes moaning softly she was just about to move closer to touch another when she felt something inside moving her hands flew to her stomach feeling that it wasn't just slightly rounded but that something was definitely moving. She looked up at Christian who placed his hand at the side of hers feeling what she was feeling. He looked like he was going to burst with pride and excitement completely the opposite to how Ana was currently feeling. He looked from her stomach to her face and instantly looked sheepish.
"Christian I think it's time you told me how fast pregnancies with demons progress." She wanted to scream. How the fuck was she going to explain this to her family she felt like she was losing her mind. She was terrified that she would go to sleep and wake up looking like a beached whale not to mention she wasn't prepared usually women had months to prepare for birth it was looking like she was going to have days maybe weeks if she was lucky.
Ana it's going to be ok I promise I told you that they progress quicker however given who I am and that you are a Nephilim I get the feeling this pregnancy may progress quicker the regular demon pregnancies."
"OH GEE DO YOU THINK" she shouted. He thought this was all very amusing.
"That's it once I have this baby no more sex." His face paled and she wanted to laugh so badly. She would never stick to the threat who could with him, but she wanted to wipe the smirk of his face and it worked for all of a second.
"Seriously though Christian what are we going to do we have your crazy brother who has gone AWOL we have a crazy witch working with him. I have just found out my biological dad is an angel. I'm pregnant with a pregnancy that is moving so fast its like one day is like a human month. Seriously my family will have something to say about that and what am I supposed to tell them I can't just avoid them then show up with a baby. Also how fast is the baby going to stay a baby? Do demon babies grow faster?" Now she was panicking she didn't like that idea at all.
"Shhhhhhhh Ana listen to me will figure it all out don't worry my brothers are looking for Asmodeous. So please don't worry about that. We will prepare to go and see Samyaza maybe he will have answers for us with regards to your powers and the pregnancy. There are ways around dealing with what your family will see with regards to your pregnancy. I can make them believe what ever we need them to believe and Demon children do not grow faster than human children, however when it comes to Nephilim's I have never dealt with them much as they were more the angels responsibilities than mine. So that will be another thing we can ask Samyaza. So please remain calm Ana you don't need this stress." He finished this with a soft kiss on her lips but there was one thing that none of us had really thought about.
"Christian?" He looked down at her lovingly saying a simple "hmm"
"What if Samyaza doesn't want to give the answers that we need. What if he wants his freedom in return for answers, we can't give that to him. He will just keep doing what he did before making children with unwilling women by tricking them I can't let that happen and what's to stop him thinking that I could hurt him after all I am his only offspring that has come in to my powers. Add that to the powers your essence gives me he could think I am powerful enough to hurt him. We will have essentially released someone who can become another enemy that we don't need.
Christian just looked down at her worry marring his beautiful face before he pulled her into his arms.
"We will figure this out I will do what ever it takes to keep you and our child safe."
I believed him but I just had such a bad feeling that something awful was about to happen. I shivered and held onto him tighter never wanting him to let me go.
