10billion years ago a Goddess seeked revenge on Humans for their abuse to her. a Goddess of light and life giving darkness for their foul abuse. every 10 years a sacrifice over 18 years of age must be given for their sins. a sacrifice of foul blood...
I can't take my mind off it. Those Hazel eyes take me back...
I had a younger brother, his name... William I think, we used to play round our house while mama cooked and papa hunted. The village was big and plentiful. I remember never going hungry or cold. Back then I was 9, Just a child.
Then they came, underlords. Our village Worshipped Xiaphela but when we needed her most she never came. Fire, destruction and death painted my village. At the time I was getting water, I ran back, I remember feeling my heart in my throat and my feet burning but the need to get home burning more.
I burst through the door, "WILLIAM" I cried as my poor brothers body lies cold and limp in my arms. Sending horrific shivers down my spine. "MAMA, PAPA" I call out but only mama came. She dragged me away from William kicking and screaming. I caught a glimpse of papa fighting the demons. One was coming from behind. "PAPA LOOK OUT" I remember calling out but I was too late.
The skull was snatched right off his body in a swift bloody motion. My screams had alerted the demons. They killed every man, woman and Child... I was all that was left. The only child with pitch black hair standing alone... A cursed Child.
My heart called out to the heavens for help, Xiaphela. A beam of blinding light, I'm thinking 'this must be it, Xiaphela'... But soon after the light it all went dark. I woke up in a beautiful white place. It had long pillars and it was all Marble... I had on soft white robes. I was the only person here... I stand up, a ball of pure light appeared before me.
"You are now Xiaphela, your people made up a God and your Village had to die to make her real. If you need me I shall be here for you." the voice coming from it was low but comforting.
"Do you have a human form?" I ask and the ball of light turns into a Man, he was slightly see through as he was made of light but I could touch him. I hugged him and cried, letting all of my pain, sorrow and loss be let out in loud ugly tears.
"There there Xiaphela" he comforts me. After a long time I start to calm down. When I look at myself in the mirror it's like I'm a whole different person, my hair is white and my freckles are gone, my eyes are now a golden color.
"Change it back, I want my hair back" and in an instant my hair fades back to black, my freckles appearing back on my face. Within hours there were already Angels here filling the houses.
10 billion years have passed and I have had to expand my domain, I had longed for the love I saw hybrids and Angels have. Angels can't have children in the afterlife, neither can I. Now that I have Sammi and Carmen I can help but feel love like I did back then.
"Mama" Her voice is faint, I had left both Sammi and Carmen in a Playroom I had made for them while I dealt with my duties. The sound of feet running follow the call out to me.
Carmen stands in the doorway holding a piece of paper in hand. She looks nervously at the other Angels that were with me then runs up to my seat. I pick her up and sit her on my lap. She presents her picture to me.

She points at the first person "that's you mama, then me an then Sammi" She points at each person. I kiss her forehead gently.
"It's beautiful Angel" I assure her, she smiles. Sammi stands in the doorway, he looks petrified as the angels stare at him. "Come in sweetheart" He runs to my side and I lift him onto my other leg so they can both sit on my lap.
I get back to work but I can see the stares on Sammi. He holds onto my clothes and buries his face into me nervously. I hold onto him a bit tighter.
"Does he have to be there? I'm just saying a demon shouldn't be here, near a goddess none the less." I shoot a look at the angel that said that.
"My Darlings. Can you go and play please" I say allowing both of them to get off my lap and run off. As soon as they leave I shut the door and lock it. "How dare you think you can come into my village, home and insult my children... And you call yourself an angel"
"M-my goddess, I-I didn't mean anything b-by it" The Angel says nervously.
"Oh, I see." I say letting out a small chuckle, I move closer to her, the Angels moving to allow me past. The Angel that has spoken up. "You meant nothing by it..." She looks at me nervously.
I motion my hands up, forcing her body up. I throw her into a wall. "I didn't mean anything by it" I say sarcastically. I throw her into the other wall. She stands up slowly, her wing twitching behind her.
"You ever say anything like that to my son ever again and I'll send you to the deepest, darkest pits of hell for you to rot" I warn her before turning to leave. I unlock the door and let myself out. Sammi and Carmen peek their heads out the library door.
Both of them running up to me and hugging me, I kiss both of their foreheads and take them into the library.
"Mommy, did she mean it?" Sammi asks me softly.
"Mommy dealt with it sweetheart, don't worry about it" I assure him, I sit on the couch and he sits beside me. Carmen colors on the low table.
