3:06pm
ST. ANTHONY'S ACADEMY
The bell rang. Kids were piling out of their rooms, going for the exits. Tommy, Darren, and a few of their friends made their way down the stairs. They saw Diabolus walking towards tyhem. Darren called out, "Hey! DJ, over here."
The nephilim walked up tio thgem. He appeared to be a little slow, weak in a way. "Yeah. Ready to go to the field?"
Tommy nodded. "Yes. Yet's get out of here."
DJ turned to the door. He smelt something, but didn't know what. His instincts told him that he should not go out this way. "Wait..someone is out there."
Tommy laughed, "Well, duh! The kids that are going, that's who. Come on.." He opened the door.
Outside, Gabriel was still standing in front of the school. He had been in the same position for six hours, never wavering. He sensed Diabolus. He looked and saw one of the mmhumans come out, holding the door, open. Tommy, the kid he spoke to earlier.
Darren saw the strange man. "Hey, Tommy. There's that guy again. Remember? He ws here this morning to look for Joe., that weird kid in
white."
"Yeah."
Gabriel sasw Dizbolus, in the doorway. He waved for the nephilim to
come out. "Come, DJ..can't hide *forever*.."
"That's it. I can't do this, not now." DJ felt an unnatural sense of danger around the man. He turned the other way and bolted.
Josiah, who followed them down the stairway, watched the scene.
"Dammit, Gabriel. I have this covered.."
Tommy looked back, seeing DJ run off. When he turned back to the
doorway, he saw the man walking towards them swiftly. Somehow, DJ was right. There WAS something odd about the tall man, he just couldn't
figure out why. "Uh..Darren. Let's go after DJ. We can go out the back way."
"Okay." He followed his friend after DJ.
Gabriel entered the school. He looked to his left and noticed Josiah. "You, follow the talking monkeys. See where they go. If I lose trace, they might meet DJ wherever they're headed.
Tommy and Darren walked out the back doors. Looking behind, they
saw Gabriel. They ran faster, catching up to Diabolus. Darren said, "Hey, DJ. Let's go..."
Then, a car pulled up.
Tommy said, "Mom? What are you doing here?"
The lady replied, "nothing, just had to come here for a PTA meeting. Thought I'd come early."
"Oh.." Tommy looked back. "Uh, Mom, can you take us? We're going to
the baseball field."
She asked, "Why? Something wrong?"
Tommy said, "Not really, some guy is after our friend here."
She nodded. "Well..sure. Get in."
In a flash, they opened the doors to the van and got in.
Mrs. Tammasimo sped off.
Gabriel just walked out to the lot. He sniffed. "Ahh.." He looked for the scenrt, discovering that DJ was getting away in the car. He turned to josiah. "Too late. I'll try again tomorrow."
Josiah, who was a little red in the fgace, fumed, "I TOLD you I got it! I have it under control."
The archangel smirked. "Hmm. Sure you did."
"I did! You know, just because I'm a cerubim, and not a seraph, doesn't mean I'm incompetent. Youi may have forgotten, but I *have* killed before."
"I know. But there's something amiss. Something I need to inform you, if you don't know it already."
He calmed down a bit. "Alright..what is it?"
"Well, he has a dark soul in him. I need it to turn the tide of this war in our favor."
"Oh..well, I sensed something. I smelt sulphur. But isn't that because he's Lucifer's son?"
"Yes. But it is stronger now. Because there are TWO dark souls: DJ
and...someone else, who was dead a long time. But it's too late now. We must prepare to attack him again."
"I can find him. I have the appearance of a child. Therefore, his friends will be more eager to talk to me than you."
"Sure. Then, go to his friends. See what they know."
"Alright." He turned and went back inside.
Gabriel jumped on top of a vacant truck. He squatted..and vaulted
upwards, landing on the roof of the school.
