Read and Review; I really hope you like it
The cemetery was dark and gray, like any place that the dead belonged. As I saw my feet sinking into every step I made through the black greens of moist grass.
I could sense dark power uprising in the area, as I heard soft music filling the silence of the night. As the reddish gray clouds cover the shinning moon, I made my way back to where I parked my car. Just about five steps behind, I opened the trunk and took my silver flashlight.
As the torch blaze into a bright yellowish light, I closed the trunk, being as careful as possible. Nora; who was still laying at the back seat of my car, was gaining consciousness, and having her wake was going to be distractive.
As I made my way towards the west gates, where Michael told me to go, I was deliberate in every step I made. As I pushed the gates slowly open, its metal was rusting and old, dead vines falling out of position.
As the gates hinges, creak, I was being as gentle as possible, being a fallen. I possessed inhuman strength, as if to emphasis my thought the gate suddenly made a shuttering creaking noise and fell to the ground.
I just shrug and kept on walking, making my way towards the sweet music I heard. As I grew closer, I could identify it. Violins, playing the most melodramatic melody, it soothed the event really, how ironic.
As I came closer, I found myself standing exactly right behind the people playing the instruments. But there wasn't emotion in the song, because it was filled with darkness.
The men that were playing them, they were all Nephilim, standing in a trance, as their hands robotically played. I stood just behind them, as I saw Dabria standing right in front of the little orchestra.
Her back facing my way, as she raises her arms above in praise, holding what looked like a coffee container on her right hand. When she put her arms down, she opened the container and poured its contents.
The contents were powder like, but it shined a little, even in the darkness. As she started walking and chanting pouring the powder slowly, it took me a moment to realize that what she was pouring was ash.
Ashes of the dead, to resurrect the Father of Fallen, when she was done I saw her step in the circle and pulled out a lighter, as she lit a pile of wood that was at the center of the circle. When the bonfire was lit, she step aside and started chanting.
Before I knew it, there was a shadow standing beside her. As the fire blaze into large flames, horror crossed my face. Because the person that stood beside Dabria was none other than my angel.
'How the hell did she get out of the car?'
I saw Dabria leading my angel to what looked like the edge of one of the inverted triangles, holding Nora's hand out, placing a knife on her hand.
As the music grew louder and louder, and then, Dabria stood opposite to Nora, chanting something. As the music suddenly stop, and there was silence.
I rushed my way towards Nora, wanting to get her out of there. Dabria saw me, and gave me a mischievous smile.
As I held my hand out to touch Nora, merely inches from her shoulder, just where the line of ashes lay, there suddenly grew a glass like wall. A shield that separated me from my angel. And for another brief moment of tonight, I felt a pang of helplessness.
' this is insane…'
" Dabria…! Stop this madness…you don't know what you're getting yourself into…" I yield at her, my voice filled with so much venom, that I could taste it in my mouth.
She just laugh, her high peach laugh filled with malice. " I was the angel of death!...I had power, but because of you…" she hiss at me " you ruined my life…you had to fall for this useless girl…."
" is this what it is to you? Gaining power?...by summoning the bastard back? You will just kill yourself and take the world with you!"
" you do not know the power I can posses with him as my ally…"
" No.? He will burn us all….do you strongly believe that he will listen to you…a fragile fallen…." Boring my eyes into hers, I saw her eyes flicker with just a fraction. That little doubt grew, I could see it. My words pained her.
" I never did love you…..you were death…I was of nature and truth…."
" truth and death belong…..because death is true….I loved you…I fell for you..because you…then this little girl had to come…because of her existence…because of her…..I lost what was mine…"
" I was never yours to keep…..stop this madness Dabria…..you do not know what this can do…."
But she ignored me, as she turned to face the dark skies and chanted the spells.
The earth shook as I saw the grounds crack within the circle, as hot blazing red flames came out of its cracks. The bonfire disappearing, replaced by a large gaping hole, with orange red flames, as the soils corrode.
Suddenly Nora started to chant too, and I panic. As I punch on the bluish walls that separate us, as I saw it crack a little, making liquid ooze out of its puncture.
I felt frustrated; I couldn't help my angel, it made me feel weak that I couldn't save her.
I was too late; she had cut herself, as she held her wrist up, crimson blood dripping down her forearm, as drops of blood drip to the ground. The knife on her other hand fell without a sound.
The ground rose, as snakes made their way out of the cracks. As the soils rose like flowing water, I saw a man rise from the earth.
Faired skin, with dark black wings that had burning edges, he was half way up from the ground. His eyes were close, as if asleep, as the wind blew his golden hair.
But before his whole body could even rise from the earth, a vivid light blazed from the skies.
As the clouds parted, the chain around my neck rose, floating and glowed bright gold. As the key pointed to a tomb house nearby, it was as if the key was talking to me. Calling me to follow it, and so I did.
Then I stood right in front of a heavy wooden door, that had a key hole, exactly the same shape of the key I had. I immediately tag the chain around my neck, as it broke loose, and opened the door.
Before I knew it, the door was wide open, bright light filled the room. As a sword floating in mid air, made its way towards me. I didn't hesitate on grabbing it, as I felt its fine weight in my hands. The sword gleamed, I could feel its majestic power, as I run towards the clearing were Nora was.
As I grew closer and closer, the swords glowed brighter into divine light, as it flew away from my gasp towards the sky. Then it was gone, as I stared up upon the heavens.
The mighty sword of Michael gone into the stars.
The clouds were black again, but as if the sword was coming back, there was a great light, the clouds parted as the light aimed towards the fallen covered with earth.
I looked up into the skies as the light dimmed, and saw a man falling towards the earth, sword aiming at the devil that was about to be risen.
He fell with lighting speed that it made a ear piercing sound. I saw him shine with vividness.
Michael was here; as his sword pierced the flesh of the devil, he fell gracefully on flat surface, standing on feet, as he twisted his sword, and plunged it even deeper, that it went through and through the man's chest. His eyes blazed into flames, his mouth hanging open, as black blood started to pool, Dabria screamed. " No…."
The earth shook as Michael pulled back his sword, the body falling back into the flaming pits as the earth closed, the barrier melting into nothingness.
I took the chance to charge after Dabria as she made her run, tackling her to the ground, holding both her wrist from behind her, as my foot dug at her back. She screamed.
" Dabria Greene; you are under arrest, under the laws of heaven. For thief, and treachery, in accordance to all laws, for risking the lives of fallen, Nephilim and mortal, you will be sentence through the council of the Archangels. May they have Mercy on you.."
As I pulled out a set of gold handcuffs from my back pocket, cuffed both of her hands. when I stood, I pulled her up with me, as we made our way towards Michael.
Who was kneeling beside Nora, she was unconscious, as I saw Michael touch her forehead and whispered a few words.
A healing spell, I presume, as I saw him took out a vile, and poured a few drops on her forehead.
As we grew closer, I pushed Dabria forward as Michael stood.
" I knew you were the one who stole them..You contact someone...I haven't found out that part yet, but I assure you. You two will meet each other at the pits of Hell…" Michael's voice was filled with venom, as he glared at Dabria. Pulled her by the arm and slapped her.
' that's got to hurt…' I thought, as I turned my gaze towards my angel. She was laying peacefully on the grass, her dress ruined with dirt and blood. Yet, she was still beautiful in my eyes.
" She's dazed, but she'll be fine…" I looked up at Michael that had a distinct shine in his eyes, as he smiled at me. " I will talk to you soon, Jev..Well done…I have to get rid of this first…" As he and Dabria shimmered away.
I kneeled down beside my angel, slowly caressed her frail face.
As I scooped her up in my arms, letting her head lay by my shoulders. As I made my way back to the car, ' I need to quit this job really…..i'm getting you in too much trouble..' gazing down at the princess in my arms.
I saw her eyes flatter, as I paused in my step. " go back to sleep, angel..i'm right here…" I whispered by her ear, as I nuzzled her head
" …Jev…" I heard her murmur, as she doze off again.
Explaining to Blythe the events of tonight was exhausting. I swear the woman almost had a heart attack. As she cared for Nora, changing her clothes, giving her a sponge bath, cleaning up her cuts and bruise.
As I waited outside her bedroom door, Blythe and I were becoming quite close, she knew that I had best intentions towards her daughter. As far as I know, she'd allow me to stay over tonight.
I wasn't taking any chances, I wasn't leaving my angles side. The incident was still fresh; it could have raised any demonic energy in the area.
When Blythe step out of the room, I was leaning beside the door, arms cross as I mused over the prize I could claim from Michael.
But I frowned at the thought, I really didn't need any more prizes, having my angel alive and breathing beside me for eternity was already bliss.
I turned to look at Blythe as she slowly closed the door with a low click.
She sigh and face me; Nora's mother was a beautiful woman, over protective and joyful, she was outgoing and understanding. And her eyes spoke that of her, the doors to her sweet soul.
" She's resting for now…I really don't understand how this could have happen Patch…" she shook her head and sigh heavily.
She looked at me with pleading eyes " I have a very important business to attend to for the next three weeks. I'd be leaving tomorrow morning…can you…?" Not finishing her sentence
But I understood immensely, she wanted me to look after her daughter. " I'd be by her side twenty-four seven Blythe..you have no worries…." I smiled at her reassuringly
She smiled back at me and nodded " I trust you….why don't you go in and get some rest..hmm?" as she made her way towards her bedroom across the hall..
I went in the room, slowly opening and closing the door as I walked in. I saw my angel sleeping peacefully, tucked in her favorite blanket.
It was a white blanket that had little black angel wings decorated all over it.
I was the one who gave it to her, on our anniversary.
As I made my way towards her bed, sitting on its edge, just right beside her, she stirred as she turned to face my way. She was tired, as I caress the dark lines under her eyes. I leaned in to kiss her cheek.
" I'll be right here when you wake up, angel…"
I made my way to her closet and got an extra blanket and pillow, as I fluffed the pillow and laid it beside her. I got rid of my messed up shirt, and decided to get a shower before scooting in beside Nora.
I took my knapsack from under the bed; a extra set of clothes that I packed just in case. As I made my way towards the bathroom.
I heard my angel spoke, a soft murmur in her sleep. "..Jev…..I love you…."
I paused from opening the door, as I glanced at her. She was smiling in her sleep, and it gladden me that she wasn't having any nightmares.
Her words made me smile and chuckle a little, as I opened the door and made my way towards the bathroom, for a shower. ' you smell like death Jev..seriously…how did you get pass Blythe.'
I just laugh at myself. As I discarded my clothes, opened the tap and walked in the shower, not bothering for temperature. Since I couldn't feel anything.
When I made my way back to Nora's room. I tensed, there was a man standing by the window.
" Jev…" I relax as I recognize the voice, it was Michael
" Michael…" he just chuckled
" I'm here to give you your reward…"
I walked over to him, and stared up at him, feeling curious, I raised my eyebrow at him.
" so…what do I get for stopping an evil witch? A medal?"
Michael gave a low laugh as he held out a vile with blue liquid.
" I know you wanted to be mortal Jev.." my eyes widen as I stared at the blue liquid he held
" this is not it, I assure you…that one is a little hard to come by..but this.." handing the vile over to me, as I grasp it in my hands, it glowed a bright blue, and slowly faded.
" what is it?" I asked
" seeing how much you've sacrificed for that girl. I also saw her heart Jev..you should keep this one..her soul, it shines….purity…"
I smiled proudly, I knew Nora was pure, in many ways actually " what does it have to do with this?" holding the vile up for inspection
" it is an elixir. To make you feel, Jev…." My eyes widen
" but it is limited…" Michael said, as frown a little " it only works on her, Jev…." Lifting his chin toward Nora's direction.
" I don't understand…." I whispered
" I took the liberty of taking a drop of her blood, and placed it with the potion. It only takes effect with the blood of the partner….If you wish to love her forever..then, this is my gift to you, brother.."
I gasp slightly,' did he just call me brother?'
Michael smiled at me. " you have proven yourself worthy, Jev…" as he started to shimmer
" oh' before I forget. Here.." handing me a leather wallet, I flip it open and saw a gold badge.
" the others I will sent to you soon..but for now..This.."
" the agents of heaven…I'm an agent?"
" without wings..yes…a spy for earth….the ideal spy we need, we cannot look after the fallen society often…I'm giving you that assignment.."
" is this serious?"
He just chuckled " until we meet again..brother.."
