the devil cries ■ chapter twenty one

I was sitting on a throne, with some half angels bowing down below the dais my throne was on. The place was dark but torches littered around us. There were black hooded figures that stood next to me as if guarding me, and around the throne room.

Right in front of me with a sword pointed on his throat was Raphael.

"Kassandra. You don't have to do this," Raphael said, and I chuckled darkly.

"Naive archangel. I do this because this is what I am tasked to do my whole life. You destroying my plan is the most annoying thing in life," I said, rolling my eyes, and he cleared his throat.

"You're not tasked to destroy the realm and its inhabitants. You are tasked to live peacefully with the others and do good deeds alongside me, but you were lost and this clan took you in thousand years ago. You are now the new leader, but you don't have to continue what your clan does," said Raphael, and I stood up then stood closely towards him.

My hair was in a braided crown, and I had on a black dress with crystal designs, shimmering as the light of the fire hit them.

I lifted his head with my finger, making him look at me. He looked strong, still firm, so I smirked.

"I may be your female counterpart in this realm, but I chose not to be. So stop ruining my plans. Let's talk outside," I said, and then turned around.

When I didn't hear him stand up, I turned my attention to him and raised my brows. He then sighed then nodded.

I closed my eyes, and then made myself evaporate so I could teleport outside the Nyx Clan's area.

I was met with the trees, scattered around. It looked greener here than usual, for some reason.

We both started walking, and I stopped in my tracks. I sighed in defeat, and then faced him.

"Ugh, Raphael. How long am I supposed to put up this act of being cruel towards you? All you Eight, in front of the Nyx Clan?" I groaned, and he laughed then ruffled my hair.

"Keep it up, Kass. You're doing great. Anyway, did you get it?" He asked, and I nodded.

I rolled up the left sleeve of my black long sleeved dress, revealing the piece of paper rolled up on my wrist. I rolled it out, and then handed it to him.

"Thanks. Anyways, Michael said to go visit Lucifer. He's bitching again. Come home at midnight?" Raphael said, and I smiled then nodded at him.

"Yeah, see ya. Just gonna fool em all again," I said, and he chuckled then nodded.

He disappeared in white smoke, and I sighed. I then transported back to the throne room, seeing the useless evil nephilims I lead.

I widened my eyes. What was that?

The sky was dark, and I flew towards the Eight's. My wings were magnificent and is white in colour, spreading even almost bigger than I was.

I saw the home, and then landed on the front door. I then looked around, making sure no one saw me. When I was sure I was alone, I knocked on the door, met by Michael.

He gave me a smile, and I smiled back. He then led me inside, where they all were sitting on the living room.

Chamuel and Ariel were laughing as they played thumb wrestling, Jophiel was discussing things with Gabriel, Azrael and Raphael were snickering, looking at Lucifer who looked grumpy. I chuckled, making him look at me.
