Read & Review

I have never much thought of death; but I imagined it to be peaceful as my soul drifts towards darkness. My dreams have been haunting me, and it made me realize that this was more painful than death.

If I were to die for the one I love, I would be in a world of peace. Only my dream did not speak of death, it spoke of life, a new life

As I longed to see the Childs black orbs once again. Never in my life have I begged for a dream to come. But grew attach to this one, a dream that I wish would be real.

A young infant in my arms, with the very eyes, to what I hope to be its fathers, but that was impossible; my fallen could not bear the child I long for. As my sub-conscious dream, flew into a slumber of darkness.

As I woke up from the constant fingertips travelling along my spine, facing my pillow as I opened my eyes. I blinked and closed my eyes again, begging for sleep to take me to cloud nine. But the gentle touches along my back did not stop. Instead it went lower, as I felt a hand rubbing my thigh.

I gave out a moan

"Jev….." I sigh

" good morning, angel…"

I smiled to myself as I kept my eyes closed. " if only I could wake up with you every morning…" I whimpered as his hand came back up to rubbing my lower back.

" hmmmm….I don't think your mother would be so kind as to let me stay in here….." peppering kisses along my shoulder as he lowered the straps of my camisole.

My eyes immediately bulge open, in a rush, I sat up. Ignoring Jev's groan as I tried to remember the date.

" what day is it?..." I ask eagerly

" its Tuesday…..the seventeenth of January I think…why?"

As I turned towards him, watching him scratch his head. I felt warm heat pooled at the pit of my stomach as I bit my lower lip. Jev staring at me, with his eyebrow raised.

I must say; seeing him, shitless early in the morning was hot. His hair all messy forming a natural sex hair. I internally groaned at the thought, upon seeing him like this. I remembered the night we shared after I killed Hank. Although it was the least of my favourites, it was the right I denied 'bed' with Jev.

' I should have said Yes…..'

'say yes to what?...'

'ugh…never mind….I want breakfast…'

' okay…..but you're not telling me why you push me away….I was grabbing for my morning kiss..'

As he leaned towards me, caressing my cheeks as his thumb gently brushed my lips.

" hmmm….sorry…" leaning for a kiss " I was remembering the ball I have for tonight…"

I heard him groan, as our lips made contact, immediately wanting more, as I felt his cool fingers running along the nape of my neck.

Just when I was about to push Jev and straddle his waist, I heard his phone ring, but I ignored it, wanting to have my way, and kept my lips glued to his. But he was having none of it, as he gave another groan and gently pushed me away.

I just whimpered and humph, crossing my arms, as I heard his chuckle before answering his phone. He stood up and made his way towards my window.

" this is Cipriano…." I saw him smile as I heard, buzzing from the other line.

" well…..good morning to you too…." Jev smirk

" I'll meet him at the cemetery at mid-night…..yeah..I got it….but.."

" yeah…but I want to ask for an extension.."

" no…..no…something came up.."

"yeah….alright…"

" five day the least…maybe a week or two…"

"yes..I know its too long..but things got a bit out of hand…she's as cautious as we are….."

" yes….alright…thanks…"

" yeah..tell Michael I need more time….."

"yeah….thanks Cam.."

" alright, you too…..Deus Vobiscum"

I just stared at him as he finish his call.

" who was that?"

" a friend.." was all he said, smiling at me " now lets get breakfast.."

He came over to me, pulled me up, and we made our way downstairs.

" what'd you want?" I asked Jev as I poked my head at the fridge, finding a jar or peanut butter, a bottle of milk, a couple of eggs. When I opened the freezer, I found a pack of frozen bacon.

" so?..." I asked as I bent over to get a couple of egg, before I felt arms around my waist. I shriek.

"…Jev…!" I giggled.

" hmmm…move aside Angel.." I turned to face him and raise my eyebrow at him, he let go of me, as I step aside. "what are you doing….? " As I watch him getting three eggs, and the pack of bacon.

" making you breakfast my dear…" was all he said before, holding out all the stuff he took from the fridge to me. I got them in my arms and just look at him.

" place that on the counter will you?..."

" uhh….okay…" as I made my way towards the kitchen counter and gently dump all the ingredients he took, when I turned back to look at him, he was holding a knife and a chopping board.

He placed it atop the counter, pushed me aside, took a couple of onions, garlic and tomatoes and began dicing them.

Twenty minutes later; there was a sizzling creamy scrambled egg in front of me. As its smell revolved around the kitchen, I felt my stomach grumble, and Jev chuckling at me.

He stood across from me on the kitchen counter, poking a fork on the scrambled eggs, slicing a piece and lifted it up towards my lips. Looking at me with those dreamy eyes, I stared back at him, feeling dazzled as I slowly opened my mouth. I took a bite of the eggs, and felt its flavor bursting in my mouth, moaning with my eyes half lidded. By the time I swallowed everything, my eyes widen at Jev.

" where in the world did you learn to do that…?" half accusing

He chuckled " I've been around a thousand years, you don't think I learned to cook?"

" uh-huh…." Staring at him in curiosity

"I took a culinary course a couple of years ago, opened my own restaurant at upstate New York." Shrugging his shoulders, as if a New York business was nothing

" you have a restaurant? But you told me you bus tables?"

" uhhh..that was when I met you..before I met you…lets just say my life was boring…"

" oh…so, you took up culinary as a pastime? Okay…anything else I don't know about you?"

He held up his hand and caress my cheeks, as my heart skittered, he gave me his breath taking smile.

" I walked alone in this world Nora. My kind isn't as compassionate as I am. I have eternity of loneliness, but with you…everything just changed…you are my life, Nora Grey.." I felt all the sincerity, all the love in his words that my eyes watered.

I just giggled and leaned for a kiss. He kissed me back, but it was tender, sweet, gentle, yet still breathtaking. We broke our kiss, breathing heavily as our foreheads touch, Jev whispered

"Dubium autem stellae igni Dubium quod sol facit motum; Dubium veritatis mendacium
Sed caritas non dubito."

I just panted " what's that even mean?"

" Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love." Placing a gentle kiss at my forehead, as he leaned back to kiss me again. When we broke apart again, I stared up at him.

" Hamlet?" my brows furrow

He just smiled at me, " you think a guy going out for poker and pool, don't know the classics?" raising an eyebrow at me

I laugh and shook my head. He was the most unpredictable person I've ever met. It still shocked me how I met him.

He was definitely my everything; I caress his face as I saw him close his eyes, even if he couldn't feel my touches. The emotions that we shared were enough, it was enough to make him feel. Although he longed for the sense of touch, he drown himself at the senses of our emotions.

We were made for each other, a pair that belonged to eternal youth. What we shared, it was inevitable, inexhaustible, and yet intangible. But I like to believe of it was love.

" who were you talking to earlier?"

" ahh..that would be Camael.."

" whose Camael?"

" shes the pretty lady we will be meeting later on.. now why don't you get dress...I want to take you somewhere.."

"huh? Where we going?"

" what good is a surprise, if I'm telling you what it is..."

"fine..."

It turned out; Jev was taking me to Delphic. His house, apparently, as we made our way along the park, i could hear the people riding the archangel screaming.

When we got to his place, I felt a flood of memories come back. Keeping me safe, killing Hank, resolutions.

And here we were again, another point of action, finding out what Dabria has planned.

As Jev unrolled the blue prints on top of his kitchen counter.

I saw lines, blue and red lines, and a large circle in the middle. The lines were linked together, a purple large circle in the middle of a triangle, two of it, inverted from each other, the one red and the other blue. At the footnote of the blueprints were words written in swirling scribbles.

As I tried to understand it, I heard Jev gasp, and it also surprised me, because it took a lot to get Jev shock. But I guess a couple of swirling lines could.

" It cant be..." was all he said, barely a whisper

I looked up at him in curiosity, what was it?

" what is it? I don't understand, it's just drawings...Jev?"

" its a summoning spell..." his voice filled with venom " she's going to summon him..."

" summon who?"

" a fallen...no...The Fallen One.."

" huh? I don't understand Jev.." then he pointed at the words written at the bottom of the paper

" these..."

" what are they?"

" their runes, a very old language, unknown to man...its Enochian..."

I gasp in shock " the language of the Angels? But...what is she doing with all of this?...you said..."

" that it is forbidden when one is a fallen...yes..."

" but why?"

" because it has a power...words have powers, Nora..." he pointed to the text again " but this one...is dangerous..."

" when you mean him...you don't mean, a good guy don't you?"

" HIM...The Unspoken Name. The Forsaken One..The Traitor, The Punisher..he who is known of many names...the Devil himself..."

I just stared at Jev, in utter horror. As I saw him stare out into space, he seemed to be deep in thought as, his eyes darkened. Then he spoke, just before I felt the world spin out of its axis.

" She must be stop..."

As I felt darkness envelop my consciousness...
