Chapter Thirty ~ Promise

Puck was literally nowhere. I searched the entire place and got nothing but unadulterated anger. The little glass thing was actually burning my leg.

I was Angry and annoyed.

My arm was violently yanked back and I was about to throw a punch until I saw the orange hair and big ass hat. Lilith didn't even say anything. She just started dragging me away. I wanted to fight her but she obviously had something to say.

She pulled me under the bleachers and flipped my around looking furious. She whisper yelled at me.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!" She looked like she was about to slap me. I kind of wanted her to just so I had a reason to fight her.

"What!"

"You can't just walk around like your not a demon even if you have a repressor! If you break that thing, which I know you can, that's my ass on the line!" She gestured at my pocket. I pulled the charm out to see it was almost fully purple. Zaire and I just ended up having a lengthy discussion and apparently that thing makes any middle level demon look human in every way."

"So what's the issue then?"

"You are not a middle level demon. You will break that thing like a tooth pick so calm the fuck down before I break your spine." Her eyes burned into the back of my skull and I Immediately backed down. The glass cooled off a little bit. "If that thing breaks you will fully release. There are hundreds maybe thousands of people here. You will not be able to control yourself. I know you Devin. Do not let that happen. All the higher ups will kill you." She rested a hand on her hip. "Goliath knows I'm here. I'm being watched. I'm leaving to make sure Azalea is okay but after that fight something doesn't sit right. Just an off feeling. Figure shit out. Don't die. I will see you around." She turned on her heel and stormed off. My body relaxed and I forced my mind to clear. The crystal went back to most clear and I took a breath before stepping into the sun. I could actually hear things again.

There must be someone fighting right now because I could hear cheering. Curious I walked up to a point I could see inside the ring. When I saw it empty I was a little confused. Movement caught my eye and I looked up to the clouds. Two giant pairs of wings threw attacks back and forth. The power emanating off these two could only mean it was Love and Gabe.

Gabe held a giant great sword while Love had a bow. How fitting.

These two are both Arch Angels. Gabriel the Arch angel of  Strength and Raphael the Arch Angel of Love and Healing. Everyone just calls em Gabe and Love.

I could barely see them but glowing arrows flew through the air. People were in awe.  They probably didn't notice at all but some people were a little overwhelmed by the sheer power they were using. Neither of them were fighting to kill but it was enough. Angels are tough as shit.

I've only ever killed one.

Anyway

I pulled my eyes from the fight and looked around unsure of what to do. There's no way to find Puck and I can't just tromp around. I may as well sit down again. I worked my way back to my spot to see the sins gone. Lucy and the sins were all missing. My heart sunk. I don't really feel like being alone.

"Well shit..." I cursed to myself. I sat down uneasy and watched the rest of the fight play out absentmindedly. It didn't take long for Love to win but they both seemed pretty happy with the fight.

If my memory serves me right the other Arch Angels aren't due for a vacation for another few years. So it is only them in the afterlife. They walked out of the arena and I flinched as Goliaths voice boomed over the arena. It was a tad shaky.
