LUNATIC

Chapter 7

As promised I am not feeling tired, energy runs through my veins instead of blood and before I can even think about it I'm on top of Balthazar, with my legs around his waist, siting on him, I laugh in his face feeling like I could smell his distress in the air, he holds me back, grabbing my arms behind my back, he takes control and makes me get off of him. I jump out of the bed, my head spins a little and I can't feel anything but amazing. "We have to help people!" I get out of the room without waiting for him and find Samael in the living room, going through the channels, "someone needs my help I can feel it." I sit next to him and he laughs, looking at me and then at Balthazar, I take the controller of his hands and start looking after important news.

"Did you turn her into a little girl?"

"I... I just thought about energetic people."

"Energetic little people, sometimes I forget that you've only been an angel for 1500 years brother, you have to be more specific."

"What can we do now?"

"Let it wear off, I guess."

"Shhh!" I interrupt them, only half aware of what they've been talking about.

On the news there's a case of a priest that has allegedly raped boys from his city, I point to the tv, I'm sure he did it, and I need to catch him as soon as I can, I look at Balthazar, he looks at Samael.

"It is an open case, they don't know if he did it... what do you think you can do?"

"We'll catch him on the act, he won't be able to deny it."

"For that we'd have to work with the police..."

"No, because we can just record him, wait... no! I can get a confection, and then we'll take it to the cops, easy."

Ideas running wild inside my head, forming as I talk.

"Luna, I think it's better if we don't go anywhere right now." Balthazar says, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh... something better you want to do?" I get up slowly and tip toe to almost get in front of his face, the almost made me think that for some reason I got taller.

"No, not at all..."

"Right, this is more important, come on, meet me downstairs with a recorder and a donut, I'm hungry."

And I ran away to the elevator, not being able to stop moving, how would I spy on a priest with this kind of energy inside of me?, I don't know, so I start to run around feeling like it might help spend some of the fuel inside of me, doesn't help, I keep running until they arrive downstairs.

"Here's the recorder, how are we going to do this?"

"I have a plan!" I almost scream, jumping, Balthazar gives me the recorder and the donut and I smile to him, talking with my mouth full "you're the perfect man, thank you, look, you're going to talk with the priest alone, we'll have to walk through the middle to get to him and then you'll show him your wings and tell him god knows what he has done and he needs to confess his sins, he'll tell us everything."

"That's actually a good idea..." Samael says, crossing his arms.

"I know right?, easy and fast, come on, let's go." I tell Balthazar, he grabs my arm and looks me in the eyes.

"Try to be quiet and I'll get the confession, don't leave my side, understood?"

"Yes, sir." I salute him and laugh, he doesn't seem pleased or amused, I wonder what I'm doing wrong for a second, we walk to the middle and take each other's hands. This time walking through the middle I don't feel fear at all, he guides us and keeps me behind him, voices scream, I am only able to feel excitement about bringing this asshole down, we find him on a church, as we expected, talking to a little boy on the seats, we don't move until he puts one arm around the boy's shoulder, Balthazar extends one arm in front of me, as if it would stop me from ripping the man's throat if he did anything to the boy.
