Harper Sins

Chapter 8: The Last Today

I sat on the moon, no longer as Harper, I decided not to be Harper here. I looked down at the earth, only a few hours away from impending doom and destruction, and not a cloud in the sky, not a drop of fire, it wasn't even a boiling hot summer's day. It was beautiful.
I thought of my baby, oh how I wish I could have gotten to know him. What was his favorite food going to be, his favorite color. I watched a tear float of of my cheek, it radiated like a diamond.
I hardened my emotions, today is not the day for tears, and pity parties. This is the day that the Lord has made I must rejoice and be glad in it.
I remove my scythe for its holding, I draw out a cross with the blade a slice the moon in four pieces. They explode and glittering space debris float in its place, I take my scythe a cut the darkness of the universe into, the explosion is almost deafening. I bolt back to earth. There will be no more tomorrow's.

Eeriee looked at me, "Gabbi?" I evaded her gaze. I hate that she could always tell when something was wrong, it makes sense seeing as she is a guardian angel. "It's Ari." I tell her, a tear slowly falls down my cheek. "I just wish I could have gotten to know him, in my human life.
She hugged me. "I know but you human life is over, Harper died yesterday, so did Wallace, Venn.... And Lynne. They are gone. We need to do a jobs now. Ari is waiting for you at home." I nodded. "How long before showtime? " I asked "1 hour, 2minutes, 17seconds....16seconds."

"I have destroyed the universe. Next is waste the Earth, to make room for new heaven." I hold out my hand out to Eeriee, "Ready to go?" She smirked "I was created ready." We soar out of the house just above the atmosphere it's pitch black, because I destroyed the universe, and frigid cold. I take my scythe and cut small torches, they somewhat resemble small stars.

The sounds of sirens, and screams can be heard from every corner of the globe. Prayers are flying through the air. I see Jax, and Angelo. "Jesus is here. We have to get into positions." Angelo takes an arrow from his quiver, and shoots it across the sky, it blazes like a comet and finally freezes over Jerusalem. It radiates brighter than my scythe stars.
"What about Him & him's fight" I look at Jax, "that is not of or concern. He said deal with humanity. That's it.
"Eeriee, the readers will be here next, take the Guardian Angels and prepare to transport the saved. Jax, lead the Armies of God against his's hoards of demons, they will want the human souls, in an attempt of redemption. Angelo, take the Avenging Angels and wipe out the wicked humans. I will open the portal for our Lord...." I griped my scythe. "Hey, your dad survived it when he used the flood method." Eeriee said. She was right but this is spiritual fire, not even an angel can survive if I mess up in anyway.
Everyone went to their respective areas after a prayer.

I take a deep breathe and began the ancient fire chant. My eyes sting, as flames engulf them. The sky crackles like the 4th of July and finally a doorway is carved from the air. It burns to cinders.
"Come forth, and bow to the Lord, Satan!" His long blackened claws emerge from the darkness and  his striking golden eyes cling to the shadowy realm of hell.
He grabs me and squeeze me crushing one of my wings, i scream at the top of my lungs, but continued the chant.
"Impotent, little angel, I am the God you will bowing to." The chant is complete and the nine divine rings of fire are forged.
Satan tosses me away like a used napkin, I use my scythe to latch onto his back. It feels like the sun. He uses all four arms to try and reach me, and he spread his 6 black, tattered wings.
"God! I have completed my work! Are you pleased!"
The sky glowed and a smile crossed my face. He was pleased my work was complete. He finally grabs me and tears my wings off.
I cry out. I fall to the earth with a thud. I opened my eyes to smoke and flames. Eeriee was making her way towards me. She laided down next to me.
"Did you save the good?" I asked she gave me that of course look she does when I ask questions I know the answer to. "Looks like you finished the chant."  I looked away, she grazed the torn tendon and bones, I saw the tears well up in her eyes. "Its ok, I did what I had to do."  She wiped away my tears. "Enjoy your rest. See you on the other side best friend."
I chuckled, see you soon.
