#4 the Devils Prayer And The Angels Answer

Some Secrets Revealed......

It was officially 7:10 pm. The 3 floor ruby bricked home looked as if it was awaiting them both. The two smaller windows looked like two eyes. But the garden was beautiful, and had large space along with the other homes. "This is where I live." She said as she closed her eyes. Then there was a sound of an engine pulling up into the driveway. A blue Ranger Rover pulled up and Darion her older brother got out of the car.

" What? Maya has a man coming to the house? He's your boyfriend?" He said walking over to the two. "Shut the hell up man, you talk too much." Puffing up in anger she turned away from the two.

"Darion" He said holding out his hand for a shake. "Dante" He replied as he shook Darion's hand. Maya on the other hand was worried out of her mind. "Come on Dante."

Maya interrupted to avoid the two from having conversation. All three of them entered. First walking past the living room and past the stairs up ahead was her mother's office. They entered. "D' get out! It doesn't concern you," Maya said shoving him out. "No he can stay, actually all of you need to be in here," Joy said.

Angie was already inside laying across the aquatic green sofa. Inside the walls were painted in sea blue with an angelic theme. The desk was made was made of white marble, with glass surface and matching white marble floor. The book shelves were an aquatic green with sky blue backing. There were paintings of angels, sea creatures, mermaids and rare flowers on the walls. To the right of the office, the wall color contrasted to a darker blue, and aqua, and the furniture was a darker marble but on that side the walls had the paintings of demon Japanese clown masks, and demonic creatures and a sword that a man seemed to be holding. It looked as if all the creatures bowed to him like he was king. Joy painted them and it took years to complete. Maya felt it told a story, but of what she is not sure.

"Maya, why did you bring him here!" "Because he is part of this strange day I'm having," She said in a whining like voice. Joy got up from her desk and walked up to Dante examining his features. "It can't be." She walked over to her book shelf and pulled out a large worn black book and flipped to the middle of the page pulling out a photo that looked aged from behind. She looked at it and almost sheds a tear. "You okay ma?" Angie asked as she pushed her thick Curley hair out from her face.

"I think I know you or seen you before." Dante finally said as he walked over to Joy. "Did you know my parents?" Joy then showed him a picture of herself with her long hair and even brown skin, holding a bible close to her chest, and a blonde haired woman, with almost pale skin holding a baby, and a silver short haired man who held another child. He took the picture from her and examined it. "After your mother passed I was supposed to be you and your brother's guardian. But then there was a change in plans. I got pregnant, and my husband and I were being chased every night by these demons because we were protecting you and Virgil. Because of what your father did to them long ago, they wouldn't quit. So the only thing that was left to do was hide you both at a secret orphanage till you both knew how to think, act and move on your own.

I had three children since but couldn't help but to try and find you both, until when I saw this ancient magic book that were once used by the ancient civilization to somehow connect people together and making them cross paths somehow. To tell you the truth I didn't want to see you because I was scared of how you would react, if you saw me and knew who I was. My husband battled demons till his very death two summers ago. Darion and Maya are to be the next generation. They are half angels half......" She stopped as she put the book back onto the shelf. "Look I know what you do now. You run a Demon Slaying business, and that's good. All I want to ask is does your brother do it also?" "He's at peace now." "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Ma, why didn't you ever tell us this?" asked, Maya. Darion crossed his hands as his facial expression asked the same thing. "What do you think? I wasn't ready to tell it, and you weren't ready to hear. I've killed demons in the past, and so did your father, but it's your turn." Darion and Maya walked out."Phu-Leese!" Darion exclaimed. "You think I'm going to risk my life try'na kill some demons?" She's got to be out her finger lickin mind." Darion hollered as he headed up stairs. Maya leaned against the wall with her head up and body slouched. Dante soon after left and approached Maya. "You're the new generation of demon slayer. I think it's kinda funny." "You think? Dante this is serious, I don't know shit about this stuff." Dante began to give a devilish chuckle, "Soon enough you will." He said as he wrapped one arm around her shoulder. She gave a slight sigh, "Whatever Dante."
