All of us backed up when we saw the winged man and I am hiding behind Michael, his hand holding me tight. Gabriel looked around until he made eye contact with Michael. He moved forward and smiled.
"Nice to see you again, brother" Gabriel said with a deep cold voice.
Michael's grip around my wrist tightened. He seems to be nervous about something.
"We can still help them, brother" Michael told him.
But Gabriel scoffed with what he said, "Is that what you're doing, helping them? As far as I can see, you disobeyed orders" then he turned to me, "One of it is falling for a human"
It was my turn to feel nervous. I tried to look at dad and he looks deeply shocked with what he heard. I looked back at Michael when I felt his hand getting a bit gentle.
"Leave them all alone" Michael ordered.
Gabriel's mouth twisted into a smile and laughed evilly, "Sorry, I take orders not from you"
Michael turned around to face me and placed his hands on my shoulders. It made my chest feel heavy, as if I know that something bad is about to happen.
"You better leave now, all of you" he said softly.
"No, I told you we'll fight together" I argued, feeling tears escape my eyes.
Michael wiped it off with his thumbs and hushed me, "Rebecca, I need you to live. Don't argue anymore and I'll be seeing you after I deal with him. I promise"
I didn't speak and jeep just pulled me away from Michael and I saw him smiling at me before we ran out of the house.
Kyle starts his car and we all went in with no one speaking. But dad quickly breaks off the silence confronting me about what he heard. He is staring at me for a moment, thinking of the right words to say.
Damn it, what the hell am I suppose to say? I heard his thought.
He took a quick deep breath and began to speak calmly, "Is it true?"
His words sent shivers down my spine. I don't know what to answer because I'm too afraid of what he might do to me. I've seen in television how dads treat their daughters when they found out that they're having a secret affair. I don't want to disappoint him, but I don't want to lie either.
"Please don't hate me" was all I could say before I started crying again.
I cried covering my face with my hands and I felt dad pull me for a hug. He strokes my back and shushes me from my crying in a gentle way.
"Of course I don't hate you, Rebecca" dad said softly, "I just wanted to know the truth as your father"
"I do like Michael, dad"
"But you know your situation with him, right?"
I nodded.
God, I don't want to see her get hurt but I can't do anything about their situation, his thought said.
All of a sudden, Audrey screamed and Kyle swerved the car until it tips of making the car roll around a few times.
My whole body starts to ache and I can hear, the others moaning and some running.
"Rebecca, are you all right?" it was jeep, upside down.
Actually, I was the one upside down. I'm still inside the tipped over car while he's outside with the others. Some sticky fluid trickles on my forehead and I tried my best to feel calm.
"Don't worry, we're getting you out of there!" jeep said and disappeared.
I closed my eyes for a moment and could here everyone else's thoughts and some gunshots and screeching cars.
I hope she's all right.
Damn it, how are we going to survive if all this possessed people keeps on coming?
Lord has mercy.
"Rebecca!"
I opened my eyes and saw dad, pulling my arms softly. "Don't worry honey; I'll get you out soon"
He pulled me and I moaned quite a bit, feeling pain on my right leg and deep inside of me, another pain aroused. I heard a loud shout in my mind coming from a man's voice—Michael's voice to be exact. Dad successfully pulled me out of the car and finally saw what's happening. We're being attacked by possessed humans in the middle of the deserted village. Jeep is protecting Charlie and the kid, looking for a shelter and the others fighting for survival.
"Michael, how's Michael?" I asked.
Dad helped me up and walked briskly with a gun on his other hand, "Michael would be fine"
Dad placed me under a tree, giving me a small gun. "Don't leave here"
He left with his shot gun and joined the others in fighting. But I couldn't follow his order for now. I know that something bad is happening with Michael right now. I got, feeling a bit wobbly, but still tried to be strong to stand up straight. There's cars and motors around unattended and I needed to use one of it to get back to Kyle's house. I ran forcefully towards a red motorcycle and started it. When I hopped in, a possessed human got me and I tried to free myself from his grip. I started the motor's engine and drove away, elbowing him off. I really don't know how to drive a motorcycle, but all I have to do is balance right? I could see Kyle's house already and I stepped on the pedal on full speed.
I couldn't control its speed anymore and I'm about to hit a concrete wall. Without any second thoughts, I jumped off the motorcycle and landed on the lawn. Wow, that just doubled the pain I'm feeling but I can't let it get on my way. I stood up again and ran inside the mansion. When I went in, the house was a big disaster; shattered glasses, broken furniture, and ripped curtains.
Just as I'm about to call out Michael, I already saw him and Gabriel. Gabriel is standing with spots of blood on his face and hand.
And Michael is lying on the floor, swimming in his own pool of blood. I couldn't breathe at the moment and I don't want to believe what I'm seeing. He promised that he'll see me again.
Michael tries to speak, but he's too weak to do so. And as he reaches a hand towards me, his whole body starts to glow.
He suddenly disappeared.
Vanished.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I screamed out loud.
I shot Gabriel many times, but his wings shielded him. I couldn't let Gabriel get away. He killed Michael, the Michael I'm dearly in love with. I keep on shooting and crying until there are no bullets anymore. I threw the gun away and ran towards Gabriel to attack him. As I get near him, I felt a lot of pain on my stomach.
Gabriel smiled, "I wish you didn't make a lot of effort doing something stupid"
I looked down on my stomach and saw his weapon sticking right through it and everything turned pitch black.
