Third God

CHAPTER 18

LEAH'S P.O.V

I don't know what is happening to me and I hope I am doing the right thing for myself but let's face it, the more I stare at Gabriel, the more I see the goodness in him. He fights everyday for his friends and I have not seen anything that makes him deserve death.

I was confused at the moment and I couldn't even think like you usd to. It was like I wasn't me anymore . I looked at Gabriel every minute to see if I would see anything that would change my mind but he only kept on impressing me.

What happened In his house continued to play in my mind and I couldn't just shake the feeling that the main thing that made me empathize with him is the fact that i don't want him to loose his parents just like I lost mine and for the fact that I have been following the people that killed my parent makes me the worse to myself.

1hr earlier....

"We are going to get him today. I don't think I can wait any longer," Josiah said and I humphed.

"Why are you changing your mind now?" I asked and he just kept mute ignoring the question.

"Just go to school like you have to but this time make sure you head back with him," Josiah said. I won't be surprised if he knows about what conspired in Gabriel's house, he was one hell of an unpredictable man.

"Sure, sure," I replied him. He sat down slowly, his legs crossing over the order and his head resting on his hands. In all this, his eyes locked on me.

He fucking knows and there is no going back. It is either I die without doing nothing or I die helping the Third God.

"Well, I should get going," I walked away, my thought roaming in a hazardous manner. I couldnt even think well and that is a fucking problem.

As I walked, Kayden ran towards me, wrapping his hands over me. I looked at him, a death stare plastered on my face and all he did was smile with his teeth out.

"What the fuck do you want from me?" I asked him, shoving him away from my body.

"C'mon, don't be so hostile, We are in this together, " he said.

" What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked even though I knew where he was driving at.

" You know he knows, right? " I let out a breath at his question and he smiled.

" So you think nothing is wrong with that,"I asked after seeing him smile. He kept quiet and we walked out of the building, right into the woods behind us.

We continued walking in silence and eye contact. At a point, I began to think that he wanted to kill me. I had a feeling he knew that I want to help the Third God.

"Why the silence? Do you just want to follow me to school?" I asked in concern seeing that a part of me was shivered in fear.

"Why not? I don't have anything to do by the way," He said and I faked a smile. After a little bit of silence, he spoke again. "We are still killing him anyway so why should we be concerned if Josiah knows or not, "

" I know right, " I said and I even noticed the traitorous sound in my voice.

The question now is can I take Kayden in a fight.

" Well, this is my stop. You should get running, we walked too slow," he said and turned back. " Make sure you keep your eyes on our fun, "he said, waving his hands as he walked away.

I let out a breath, releasing all the fear in my heart and I waited until I couldn't see Kayden again then I continued my journey to school. The fear within me never vanished, the only thing I made myself think about is if I am doing what is right.

Present

My feelings one hour ago still remained what I felt now, the only difference that now I could stare at Gabriel to remind myself that i am doing the right thing.

"Hey," I heard a voice behind me and removed my locked eyes from Gabriel. I turned my head and saw Teresa looking directly at me, he eyes was filled with love which seemed like a love with warning.

"You do stare at Gabriel a lot," She said, dragging her words and it felt like a villain dragging a sword slowly on the floor when he heads towards you.

Was that a threat?

"No, you must be seeing things," I said.

"Oh, now I am going to be harsh talked by you," She said in the calmest way possible. She was mad at me and she was jealous of me looking at Gabriel. Wasn't she the Jesus girl?

"I didn't mean it like this. I just meant that what you saw isn't what is happening," I said and she smiled widely.

"Just be careful, even the once closer to God also have access to hell easily," She said and walked away.

That sounded like a threat on her side but It also sounded like a warning about Gabriel seeing that he was the Third God.

"What the fuck is happening," I screamed before noticing I did it out loud. Everybody looked at me and kept quiet. "Face your lives, humans. Like you have never seen a person yell before," I said immediately and buried my face on the table.
