Fallen Love

Chapter 18

                                                                      Claire's POV

Claire was laying with Malachi, back in the meadow. 

When all of  a sudden, she heard him call out in pain.

She sat up and looked over at Malachi.

"Malachi, what's wrong?"

He grimaced.

"I don't know. I just woke up and I started feeling this intense pain."

Claire tried to comfort Malachi by hugging him or touching him.

But that just made the pain worse.

What was happening to him?

She heard someone behind her speak.

"Well, what do you think of what I did to your little demon, Claire?"

Claire turned and saw God standing there. 

"What did you do to him?"

God smirked cruelly.

"Just what he deserved for being a nasty demon."

God then pulled Malachi up and placed him into a cage.

Claire came towards him, but God knocked her down.

She looked at God and spoke.

"No. He doesn't deserve this."

God ignored her and kept torturing Malachi. 

Claire screamed for mercy, but God wasn't listening. 

Then, Malachi's white wings fell off. 

He was bleeding where his wings were. 

Claire cried.

Malachi was dying. 

She wanted to do something, but Claire couldn't move.

She was frozen in place. 

"You are not going to save him, Claire."

Then, she felt intense pain all through her body.

"You are going to die together. I am going to take your wings too. I was too lenient by having you keep them."

Claire could tell that she was going to die. 

She couldn't believe that her life was going to end when she just met Malachi a few days ago. 

Claire tried to reach out for Malachi, but her hand couldn't go to him.  

She felt herself being pulled and thought that God was moving her again. 

Claire looked up and saw that Malachi was using his remaining strength to get her towards him. 

She smiled. 

God was furious.

"No! You are supposed to be weak. How are you doing this?"

Soon, Claire was in the cage with Malachi.

He smirked and looked right at her.

"With the power of love, of course."

Malachi held Claire and their pain went away.

God got even more angry.

God started destroying the ground underneath them.

Malachi brought her into his lap.

Soon, the whole meadow was torched. 

He touched the bars of the cage to hold onto something and it disintegrated.
