She covered her mouth with her hand, trying to stifle her breathing from the ones searching her out, clutching to the trunk of the tree with her free arm trying to listen for the coming of any others.
Footsteps came the left and then from the right, and she heard the voices from underneath her on the ground, it hadn't taken her more than a moment to convince the two oldest archangels to play a game with her in the garden.
"Brother, she had better hope I don't manage to get my hands on her little self."
"Oh, I agree brother mine, I want to play with that belly of hers, I really really want to."
She looked down at them as silently as she could manage but still giggled under her breath. She watched as they took a seat on a pair of large boulders like rocks and continued to talk the each other in hushed tones.
Michael nodded up to the tree before them and Lucifer stifled a snort, nodding in return, they had known of course that she was up there all along, and were just biding their time at this point. She would come down eventually and then they would swoop her up and have their own fun.
They nodded to one another and stood, stepping off into the trees before them, and she watched disappear until their footsteps disappeared. One would think she had learned after her adventures playing with the Powers that her opponent could very well still be within range to catch her.
So, she waited for a good three minutes before slithering down from her hiding spot and hopping down on the ground. She jumped over the rocks they had been sitting on and ran in the opposite direction.
Akeelah was nearly to the safe spot when she was swooped up midstride. She pushed against the bigger angels' shoulders.
"Nohoho!"
"And so close to the safe spot."
Another joined them from the right, "It seems you've managed to catch us a little mouse to play with."
