Fallen Love

Chapter 12

                         Claire's POV
God was staring at Claire with a look of disappointment in his eyes. He had long grey hair and was wearing sandals on his feet.
"Claire, how could you have sex with a demon? You know that it is forbidden to do so. "
She sighed.
Claire knew that he was trying to make her feel guilty, but she didn't regret having sex with Malachi.
"I know, my Lord. It just felt so good."
God shook his head and put a red gown on Claire.
"Oh, Claire. You are still so naive. Angels are supposed to be pure. Now that you have had sex with a demon, I am going to have to banish you. We can't have tainted angels in Heaven."
Claire gasped.
"You are going to kick me out of Heaven? But I have done everything that you have asked of me. I made one mistake and that's it. Humans make mistakes all the time."
God sighed.
"But you are no longer human, Claire. You stopped being a human a long time ago. Angels are held to higher standards."
Claire huffed.
"Hmm, more like impossible standards. You expect me to be perfect and not want to be intimate with someone. But I felt something with Malachi and I know that he felt it too."
God laughed at her.
"You actually thought that the demon liked you, Claire? He was just using you. He obviously wanted to rebel against Lucifer."
She shook her head.
"That's not true. He cares about me. I know he does."
God laughed again.
Claire started to cry.
Was this how people saw her?
As a naive woman, who didn't know how to tell when she is being taken advantage of.
The feelings that her and Malachi have are real, no matter what God said.
All of a sudden, Claire felt herself falling down from the sky.
She kept going until she landed on solid ground.
Claire looked at what she was wearing and at her back.
Her wings were becoming more black.
Also, they were smaller now.
God cut off half of her wings.
He must have did that before he pushed me out of Heaven.
He is punishing me by letting me keep half of my wings.
The half that I get to keep is the side that he didn't want.
My corrupted side.
Claire sobbed as she realized that she would no longer be able to see her friends anymore.
As she looked at her surroundings, Claire realized that she was stuck on Earth.
Maybe God really is cruel.
She didn't know if she would be able to see Malachi ever again, either.
Knowing her luck, Lucifer would send him away as well.
Claire wanted to pray that she could be with Malachi.
But then, she remembered that she was no longer God's favorite angel.
Claire didn't know who she was, now that she was no longer an angel.
She walked toward the homeless shelter, wondering if they had room for her.
