Seraph Of Death

Chapter 8: The Evil Eye pt 1

††

Ariel's pov:

Is there any way to mend a shattered heart?
A physical heart that actually beats.

A beast they call me.
I am a beast.
A beast in the form of an Archangel.
skilled and vicious.

The last born is his parents' favorite but I'm not even good enough as a son.
They smile and welcome me in but it's obvious they don't want me around.
I am too honest and straightforward for their own good.

I don't give a damn about the rules they make.
Their rules never seem to please me.
My brothers and I never see eye to eye.
My father doesn't have the time to even look at me.

But I have enough power to do as I please.
I always do what I feel is right, like wiping out 9 billion species in seconds.

How dare they ask me for reasons; where were they when the Nephilims turned 54 to a slaughter house.

Forgive me Arielle but if I ever meet Micheal ever again I might end him and it would mean nothing.
I want to pluck those disgusted eyes out.
The ones he gave me in court.
A coward. That is what he is.

I feel so angry and miserable.
I am at fault.
I am the villain.

"You have committed such a big sin. How ever will you redeem yourself" a voice whispers.

I look around the darkness but no one is near.

"Who are you?"

"Your conscience" the voice replies softly.

My image appears at my front. It kneels before me and raises my chin to see my sorrows.

"I have never seen you shed tears before. It's unbelievable"

I slap it's hand off and take a good look at the person at my front. He looks a lot like me but his hair as white as snow and eyes so blue.

This is all in my head.

I am hallucinating.

He frowns. The blue shade in his eyes darker and scary like I once was.

"You have worked diligently by your father's side for centuries and this is how he repays you"

"No. I am the only one to blame for this mess. It was all my fault"

"Are you sure because part of you still fails to acknowledge that lie"

"I killed an entire universe including those that had nothing to do with the war. Innocent women and children lost their lives because of me," I take in a deep breath. I don't deserve to live"

"That is the punishment you've been given. To live with this guilt powerless for the rest of your life"

I bury my head in my arms and clutch my knees tight.

"There is no greater punishment than this to be frank. Wallowing in misery for a crime you never actually committed. You only tried to save the titans but look where that got you."

"I also thought I saved them but I didn't. That's just the honest truth. All that work for nothing."

"Then why does part of you still deny it"

"I am telling you I'm guilty so stop questioning my level of guilt"

"I love this whole let's just pretend I killed the titans and forget everything plan"

"Go away"

He remains silent for a few seconds observing me.

"Why did you refuse Lucifer's offer. He is the only hope you have left"
