Angel Knight (On Hold)

Chapter 19

Slowly the sky turned red. It was as if the sky was being painted by that colour with great care to bring in the effect of this dangerous situation.

Bring Satan back, are you kidding me? On top of that they think they can control him. I can only imagine to what lengths a human's delusions can take him.

I looked at both Jack and Zero they were so badly injured that they couldn't fight. I can understand that they must be some special sort of angels to be used in the ritual but why am I here, don't get me wrong I'm not scared to be here. But why do they want to use me. I'm completely useless since I'm only a human.

Besides how ever hard I try concentrating on my gun it won't appear. The leader went on chanting as did the others. Is this what the exorcists were prohibited from doing all those years before too. I totally don't get why would they go to such lengths.

Anyhow I tried to concentrate on that stupid gun. "Ow!" I heard a voice beside me and turned to look at my teacher. He was rubbing his head and there was my gun fallen on the ground beside him. I could only imagine that it fell on his head, when I concentrated on it. Good serves him right to betray my trust.

But wait I wanted it to appear in my hand! The hell with that gun! It's so useless!

And now teacher put it in his cloak pocket, great there goes any chance of being free.

The star began to glow red mirroring the color of the sky and a hole began forming in the centre of it. I could see that the other exorcists took some drops of Jack's and Zero's blood and made some cross figures on the ground, which caused a sign to form in the sky as same as the one on the roof and a strong beam of red light fell on the hole. The leader came out of that circle and carefully kept chanting.

I could see black vapour rising from the hole in the centre of the star. After a while every thing stopped glowing and the leader stopped chanting, the sky was back to normal only the black smoke like thing lingered in the air. Everyone looked at it curiously. Did it work? Did it not work? I bet everyone is thinking the same thing. I hope this rubbish didn't work. But what if it did?

Slowly the smoke disappeared, but instead there stood a beautiful women. She wore a black strapless gown and had long silky black hair which reached below her waist. With only first site of her and my jaw dropped. She was the definition of incompariable beauty. What told me that she was no good, were her blood red eyes. They were just like Zero's but I could tell only by looking in her eyes that they were completely different than his, her's had a different glint in them. They longed for something.

"Who dare summoned me here?" She asked, her voice ringing with a sweet-sour melody.

"Thou shall grant my wish as I have set you free, obey the comand of your master, you monster!" The leader shouted. I gulped nervously. The excorists took position, taking out a holy cross made out of silver.

"Please!" The lady said in an offended tone. She snapped her fingers, except the leader all the nine people fell to the ground. I looked at my teacher who lay motionless on the ground. Were they all dead? Did she kill them? The leader looked pale, scared to death.
"W-what? What have you done? You are supposed to be in my control. It is what the book said." I could see him shaking even in this dark.

"Things that other people do can be decieving, dear. Besides as a thank you for setting me free, I shall make you my servent, you poor ex-cor-sist." She said it with a smirk on her face. She turned to look at Jack, he stared at her with no emotion but it didn't feel quite right his expression it was something that I had never seen before. I felt uneasy, I've never seen Jack like this. He seemed totally different.

"Hello, dear Jack." When the words left her mouth my eyes widened with shock. She knew him. How did she know him?

Then she turned to look at Zero and her smile widened, Zero gulped nervously he just like me had no idea who she was and seemed confused when she showed reconization to Jack. "Who the hell are you?" He asked in a shakey voice.
