Seraph Of Death

Chapter 10: The Evil Eye pt 2

Halle's pov:

I'm starting to regret a lot of decisions I have ever made in my life till this day. Every memory both the good and the bad..very bad, flashes through my closed eyelids like sun rays through my curtains.

It is my way of staying mentally conscious. I fear that if I fall asleep I will never wake up. Ever.

My physical body is no more than a piece of rock; to run is futile.

"Help" my mind screams.

I..I can't.

can't breathe.

I'm scared. Scared of this kind of darkness-and the loneliness that it brings.

It makes me recall all the bad memories I have buried deep with my past.

Will I die like this? Without seeing my loved ones one last time. Will my Aunt be okay? I just pray whatever turned me to stone doesn't find her as well.

I should never have indulged that man. He is obviously anything but normal, and whatever that was at my door came for him. This is my punishment for showing him hospitality.

I cannot even shed a tear to relief my pain a little or cry out to hear my own voice.

If unfortunate was a person that's probably me.

I fall deeper...and deeper into subconsciousness and my memories start to fade away like ashes in the wind...

until I am no more.

Ariel's pov:

If not for the girl lying in this stupid snake's stomach I would have had everything in this domain consumed by fire already.

But after destroying every ounce of life in 54 I have learnt a very valuable lesson on anger management and power control. I just need to tread carefully from now on.

Being in Zekai's domain is like being in a different world that runs solely on his will. His powers have proven stronger and more agile but I'm not done either-infact you can say I have been holding back on this losers a bit.

As an angel that outranks many demons slayers even though that was never my job, I am pretty dangerous myself- although I can never reach that peak as a fallen angel I still have enough power to kill demons.

After many futile efforts in calling out to Xander and realizing he can never hear me here, I am forced to face my newly made enemies one on one which is stupid but what are the options.

Lluisa leans to bite my head off but I erase that idea by stopping her jaws from shutting. Her sharp tooth pierces through my hand; her jaws and my arms go back and forth trying to remain open or shut and I groan in pain as her incisor still remains pervaded in my skin.

With all my might I tear her jaw apart and she screeches in pain, a pool of blood spilling out her mouth. She slumps backwards bawling as I smoothly escape her grip. Immediately she hits the floor balls of fire hurl towards my direction and I can only make off narrowly dodging every attack.

The monster himself- Zekai -rises from the smoke and slaps me into a wall with his hands at least 10 feet wide. My sight becomes hazy as fumes of smoke fills the air rapidly and my breathing tight as hell.

He grabs me and my skin burns in his grip. I groan as he squeezes my body in his palm and a smile creeps the corner of his face. If not for the barrier separating his domain from the rest of the world, i would have had his head delivered on a silver platter to my brother in hell as a surprise gift.

He tosses me on a slab and thorns rise from the soil restraining my arms then my limbs from any movement. The slab glows and the entire domain trembles and walls crumble to the ground.

The Sigil of Baphomet,the insignia of Satan appears on the slab beneath me and my heart falls into my stomach.

The Eye watching us closely from above emanates a bright red light in the darkness as Zekai spreads the ring of fire round my circle.

I'm forced to kneel with my head bowed.

This is so fucking annoying.

The more I struggle the more the thorns tighten their grip some ripping through my skin scraping my bones.

My body is bathed in my own blood and I nearly faint from excess blood loss.

Zekai lifts his hands to the Eye and prays- reciting mantras I don't care to understand.

"You want to sacrifice me to my brother right?," I shout to the monster over my head," I would willingly give myself if you free the girl."

The monster roars, blowing fire around the circle. Not listening.

"Be reasonable and let that poor girl go. You hold no grudge against her..you want me right, and you have me so don't let her die in your mate's belly for my disobedience."

The monster grunts and looks at the injured snake afar off laying on the ground, it's jaw decapitated and one eye gone, whining softly and wiggling it's tail. Why can't she just end her misery and die.

The monster heaves puffs of smoke exuding it's nostrils and I think it slightly nods in approval.

Halle's pov:

I breath in softly, fresh air invading my dry lungs and filling me with life. A faint ray of light emanating from a distance washes into my pupils and I breath out..a tear flows down my cheeks. Gently, my eyelids begin to part.

I lay in awe at the bright colour of the yellow skies giving a hint of pink. The view looks better than any work of art I have ever seen in my life. It holds no clouds but thousands of stars like diamonds scatter the entire vast twinkling above- adding more opulence to it's majesty.

The sudden kick in my leg jolts me out of the trance to notice the presence of people gathered around me. A grumpy lady at my right yells as she keeps kicking me to get up.

Confused by the new scenery flashing through my eyes, I sit up so fast it makes the lady flinch.

"What in the world..," I start moving my gaze from left to right then to her," Where the hell am I?"

"For how long will you sleep you freak. Get up already"

I look up realizing I totally ignored the 8 pairs of eyes staring into my soul. They all are at least 6 feet tall which scares me, and they bare wings...real ass wings.

"W-whhat the heck". I stare at them shocked at their forms including everyone around them. They look so rigidly formidable in looks and appearance that I could sense their dominance over every other person in their mist.

A hand slaps my neck down harshly and I yelp.

"BOW YOUR HEAD MORTAL. YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THE RULERS OF THE MULTIVERSE."
