SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 79

CHAPTER 79

Everything at the Angels council is always so sterile it has white walls white ceiling and white floors. There're no pictures on the walls, not even a cross hanging anywhere. Harris told Summer and I to stay in the hall while he goes into the chambers where my hearing will be held at and see if he can find out any information. When he opens the door to the hearing room, I peak in before the door closes. Wouldn’t you know it even the tables and chairs are white.

From what I can tell with what little I could see it appears as if I will be sitting in the middle of the room with a circular platform all the way around me. I will have Angels circling me…fucking great.
Like I wasn’t already intimidated enough ugh.

Harris comes back out within minutes telling us he hadn’t been able to find out information, shocker there. He said it was time for us to go in now. Taking a few deep breaths to calm myself, I straighten my spine and hold my head up high. Just because I am scared SHITLESS doesn’t mean I have to let them know I am. When I hear the door shut behind us, I felt like I had already been tried and convicted.

 The Angels council has yet to take their seats. When the Angel guard started to open the gate from the circle to let me go through and take my seat. He stopped Harris and Summer. The Angel guard said “I’m sorry king, and queen, but you may not enter the circle. You both may be seated over to your left”. Harris started to say something, but Summer stopped him. She looked at me and whispered “everything will be alright we’re right here”. Taking Harris’s hand, she led him to the seats the angel had told them they could sit at.

I take my seat feeling sick to my stomach. Sitting there it crossed my mind a couple of times to blink myself out of here and put up my shield, so I couldn’t be found and say the hell with all this. The only thing that stopped me was the fact I would no longer be a keeper, and I would lose everyone I loved. I’ve already been there and done that shit before, and I wasn’t going to let it happen again if I could stop it. I will take whatever punishment they handed out if they only let me keep my powers and continue to be a keeper.

“Everybody may rise and remain standing as the Angel’s take their seats” the Angel guard said loudly.

Standing up I watched as angel after angel came through a door to the left of the platform. It amazed me each angel, who entered had on the same white suit and they all had white hair with blue eyes. From a distance, they all looked identical. I guess angels aren’t big on having their own fashion. Counting the angels as they came out, I knew there we’re a total of seventeen. I guess they made it odd numbers like that, so they would never be a tie vote. After the angel’s were seated the guard angel told everyone else in the room they could be seated.

“ Princess Rain Summer Livingston would you please stand” the angel sitting in the middle seat directly in front of me said a few minutes after I had set back down. I stood up making sure I kept eye contact with the angels I had my hands to my side trying to show that I wasn’t in the least bit afraid even if my legs did feel like they might give out on me at any moment.

“I am known as Mathew, I will be leading your hearing today and letting you know the charges you have been charged with. If you do not comply or answer all questions and request made by me or any other angel on this board, you will automatically be found guilty do you understand me?”

“Yes sir I understand completely.”

“Very well then I will read off the charges.”

“First charge – killing fairies on earth”
“Second charge – Going against keepers protocol”
“Third charge – destroying the fairy realm”
“Fourth charge – Disrupting or interfering with another race’s way of life”
“Fifth charge – The killing of the male fairies and the tree people on the fairy realm. We do not wish to know how you plead on these charges. That is of no concern to us. Today’s hearing and the angel’s you are standing before will decide on your fate as a keeper today. Is that understood?”
