Chapter 49

"Where are we?" Mila asked as she stepped through the portal.

"We're close to Jegudiels home. I remember this field like the back of my hand." Eve smiled as she looked around the field of wheat.

"How can you know a field like the back of your hand? Not to mention it all looks the same no matter where you look?" Mr.K said as he looked everywhere in hopes of finding a house or some kind of structure.

"That's because it's hidden. He placed pebbles all around for me to find my way. The ones that look like they belong, are the ones that lead to his hidden house. It was one of the first lessons he tried to teach me, follow nature and for what belongs because if you follow something out of place, you'll make yourself lost." She pointed to the grey and brown pebbles at her feet and followed them along a trail.

"What's going on? Who's Jega-who?" Jack asked, his vision blurred.

"Don't worry, just keep ahold of my hand.

"Eve? Is that you?" Jegudiel asked walking out of his front door and looking to her, then immediately to Jack. "Why would you bring a prince of hell here?!" He screamed at her making all of them stop in their place.

"What?" Eve didn't know any other way to respond.

"LEAVE HERE NOW!" Jegudiels voice boomed in everyones ears, only exploding Jacks. In agony, he released Eve's hand and covered his now bleeding ears.

"Uncle Jegs! Why-" Before she would be given a chance to speak, Jegudiel tackled Jack to the ground, back to the entrance.

"Damn this stupid sight pill!" Jack screamed, Eves hearing managed to pick up as she chased after them.

"You knew what it was?" Mr. K said as he grabbed onto Eves arm.

"You are not welcome in a house of god! I could burn you this very second if I wanted to!" Jegudiel screamed in Jacks face, holding him down with one hand on his neck.

"Your very presence is what burns me you idiot." Jack spat as his body was being further pressed into the compacted dirt.

"Belial, you have ten seconds to explain why my niece was holding your hand." He whispered, his voice sounded angry but his true feelings only holding concern.

"Belial? The prince of hell Belial? That Belial? Tell me your joking! He's supposed to be my twin flame!" Eve stepped back, fear beginning to pour from her eyes.

"This creature is incapable of love. He has no ability to have any kind of twin flame unless it's a reflection of himself." Jegudiels voice grew lower.

"Alright! You caught me, can I explain or are you going to cut my head off again?" Jack, whose identity now revealed to Eve as Belial, threw his hands up, only for Jegudiel to grab them and hold them with one hand.

"You know I'm not capable of such an evil act. I think a judgement is in order. You're coming with us. Eve, go in the house and summon the Powers then the Seraphim!" Jegudiel yelled looking over to see her face filled with tears. "Never mind... Mr. K, do you know how to summon-"

"I can do it! Eve, come with me. You don't need to see this." He pulled her arm but her body remained motionless, a statue.

After what felt like hours, a minute had passed "I-" She barely managed to squeak out. "Yeah." She finally shook her head and followed Mr. K, body shaking with each step she took.

"I can't believe I had that thing in my house. I'm gonna have to move and properly cleanse that place." Mr. K mumbled as he opened the door.

"I'm sorry..." She managed to whisper as she followed in the door.
