Demetrius's POV
Just as Jessie's eyes close, a bright blue light surrounds all of us and flashes three times before the light disappears from around us. I look around and notice that all of our teams are now in the same room as Blitzo and his team. I look over to Angel and Husk, Vaggie, Charlie, Gracie, Dr. Frankenstein, Carlton, and Loona who all looked just as confused as I was. In sheer panic, I immediately begin looking around to find Jessie whom for the moment at least, didn't seem to be anywhere. 'How in the fuck is that even possible?
She was just right here, in my arms. Now I believe in a lot of things but there's no fucking way she just disappeared into nothingness!' Within a matter of minutes a blue portal from the ceiling opens up and an owl demon can be heard screeching whilst falling from it before landing on the ground in front of us. He turns around and looks about him, "what the fuck?! How the bloody hell did I end up here?"
He says in a strange British accent. "Hey, Stolas." The little imp demon says smiling and waving awkwardly. "Blitzy!!!!!" He exclaims running over to him and giving him a tight embrace.
"Oh, my dearest, Blitzy! Are you okay? Are you hurt? I was so worried when I didn't get your call to head over here. Luckily I was summoned here by someone more powerful than I."
Blitzo brushes himself off and scoffs sounding slightly annoyed, "I'm fine Stolas, really. What did we talk about with the whole, 'smothering me in front of everyone' thing. Stolas blushes, "oh, I'm sorry, Blitzo. I just, I guess I got a little carried away. I'm just glad you're okay."
Blitzo was about to respond when another portal appears and Lucifer steps out and it closes behind him, "she brought us here." Lucifer says answering Stolas question from earlier. He points over to Jessie who is surrounded by a blue luminous light and levitating off of the ground. Her normal blue eyes were lit up completely in the same blue glowing light. In fact, the light around her was so bright that no one but Lucifer could even look at her without it being too bright for our eyes to adjust to.
'Now where in the Hell was she when I was looking for her,' I thought to myself bitterly. "Couldn't she have warned us first before summoning us all here?" Angel asks squinting and shielding his eyes from Jessie's luminous glow. He looks over to Angel and shakes his head, "None of you truly understand but perhaps it's my fault. I should have told you guys more."
"Well, can you hurry it up and tell us about it now, I mean we were just about to start killing people here," Blitzo asks twirling his gun impatiently. Just as Lucifer tries to explain, Vox, Ditzy Diva, and Velvette lunge in to attack us when flashes of lightning shoot out from Jessie's hands freezing them in their current positions. Lucifer walks up to the three of them and waves a finger at them, "ah, ah, ah. I wouldn't do that if I were you. The child of the Grail doesn't like it when her bedtime stories go interrupted so, your best bet is to not even try anything.
The sheer warning of his words were enough to have Stolas reeling back in fear. While the overlords are still frozen Lucifer continues on with the tale. "The Grail and the host are two separate entities that reside within the same vessel." "Okay... so what the fuck is that supposed to mean? Is this celestial freak leeching off of my girlfriend like some alien parasite?!"
I ask growling defensively with my wings stretched out in front of Jessie. Lucifer walks over to me and places a hand on my shoulder before looking at me empathetically, "It means that while the grail is awake, the young lady you all have come to know and love is sleeping." Shaking his head Angel asks, "so then,... that's not Jessie?" Lucifer looks over to Angel and answers, "well... yes and no." "The fuck is that supposed to mean?
She can't be two people at the same time she's either one or the other!" I snarl quickly losing my patience. My Dad walks over to me and places his hands on my shoulders in an effort to soothe me, "Son, calm down she's fine. The Grail won't let anything bad happen to her. She needs her."
I shake my Dad's hands off and walk right up to Lucifer not having even a shred of fear despite talking to an angel that could quite easily turn me into a pillar of dust. "You see that statement right there has me concerned. Why does this 'oh so powerful being,' need to take refuge in my Jessie! If she's so powerful why can't she get her own body!" Lucifer looks over at me, "'the grail' is a force of energy.
She doesn't possess a body." "Bull shit!" "Junior!" My Dad says with a warning in his tone. Lucifer raises a hand up to my Dad, "it's okay Daniel, he deserves to know."
He walks up to me with a calm and patient demeanor in his eyes, 'The Grail's,' actual name is Jessie. Isabella, is the name of the young lady you all know and love. She's not harvesting off of your lover like the parasites that you've seen in those human horror films. They are more like, roommates. They share a living space in fact, they are able to talk to each other telepathically and Jessie could actually reveal her original earthly appearance before her body was destroyed in a manner that could never be revived.
"So her body was... mutilated?" Lucifer nods, "in the harshest of ways, yes. Jessie doesn't want me to say anything more, it's a painful memory for her." "So does she talk or am I just going to have to trust that you are actually translating on her behalf?" "Most often she prefers to speak telepathically through an angel, fallen or not fallen; of her choosing."
Jessie telekinetically lifts the three demons up into the air and tosses them to the side like rag dolls essentially knocking all of them unconscious. She then walks over to me and dims down the brightness of her luminous aura. "זה בסדר, דמטריוס. אני מצטער על מה שעתיד לבוא אבל לא משנה כמה דברים יהיו גרועים, אתה חייב להאמין." She says to me with the kindest, most warm smile I had ever seen in life and death.
She then shocks me by embracing me with a hug. I couldn't explain it but being hugged by her literally felt like being hugged by the purest embodiment of love. It was like... like being hugged by Jesus himself and I was surprised to feel tears falling from my eyes."what language is that?"Angel asks looking about as freaked out as I felt.
"It's Hebrew," Vaggie says before Lucifer can answer. "It's the language of Jesus Christ and his followers." Lucifer cuts in, "yes, actually her very name is Hebrew literally means; to behold; the Lord exists, or in other words, 'God is real.' That's the reason she quietly coerced Isabella into using it as her demon name while she was here in Hell. It's her way of being remembered."
"What did she say?" I ask as Lucifer walks back towards me. "This is very, very rare but it would seem that Isabella is trying to reach out to you from her sleeping state; she wants you to know that she's okay and Jessie herself says she is sorry for what is to come but no matter how bad things get, you must have faith that the answers to all things will come in time. This is a very unique situation." "How so?"
Charlie asks. "Typically the daughter of Jesus and the host spirit, whom in this case is Isabella, remain separate and completely alienated from one another while the Grail is in her waking state. Also, the Grail seems to have taken a liking to you, Demetrius. It would seem that Heaven has chosen you and your family for a higher purpose." Demetrius and Husk look at one another in confusion. Demetrius moves his lips like he's about to ask a question when Lucifer cuts him off, "It would also seem that Jessie has found a way to connect with her telepathically.
Which would mean that she's also a miracle child. It means she wasn't conceived in the traditional sense but essentially was a blessing granted in prayer to God. This would mean that Jessie's heart is pure and was literally sent down from heaven. It's rare for an incarnation to choose a blessed soul to be her vessel." Lucifer chuckles for a moment.
"What the hell is so funny?" I ask feeling irritated by this jokester of a King. "Nothing it's just that I can see why my niece has taken a liking to you." "Why 'cause I'm hot?"Lucifer rolls his eyes in annoyance, my Dad slaps a hand up to his face and Angel chuckles in amusement.
"Actually, no. I think the grail has taken a liking to you because you have the strength and the bravery of an angelic warrior. Maybe also a bit foolish, like myself at times, but you have immense potential that you and your father have yet to discover within yourselves."
Jessie's POV
Lucifer pauses for a moment and looks at me while Jessie talks to him telepathically using my body. "She said all things will be answered in time. She said that there are events that have to take place tonight and that she cannot be involved with the affairs of sinners or humans and that her only job is to protect her host body and to ensure that destiny runs its course. She said she's not permitted to say anything more. She also says that I cannot intervene with the events that are about to take place." I telepathically question the grail, 'what events are going to take place?'
'I'm sorry Isabella but I'm not even permitted to tell you. You may be heaven sent but you still are technically a human soul and telling you can have disastrous effects on the future.' 'Seriously? What if someone dies, we're just going to stand by and let it happen?' 'Isabella, you know that if I could do something I would.
But there is a delicate balance that has to be protected. Sometimes, we have to allow bad things to happen in order to make room for the good things that are to come.' 'I'm sorry Jessie, but I don't agree with you.' 'And you won't, not until fate has come to fruition. Then and only then, will you understand.'
I let out a disappointed sigh. 'I know that it's hard right now but, you're just going to have to trust me. I've been around much longer than you have and have seen more. Trust me when I say that all things happen for a reason.' 'Fine, I guess I have no other choice but to trust you then, but if someone dies, I'm never speaking to you again no matter how much you torture my brain!'
She lets out a sigh and changes the subject, 'it's time for you to wake up, now.' Before I have a chance to say anything, I see flashing blue lights and then complete darkness. My eyes slowly open and I see Demetrius looking down at me with concern in his eyes. "D?" He smiles and strokes my cheek lovingly, "I'm so glad you're okay." I then look up at everyone, "what happened? Where are we?"
