Mal'Ahk "The Origin"

Chapter 5 (Rough Draft)

The next morning came too fast. The light was beaming through the bedroom window and it was the sign that night had fallen. Which means that the Demons are in there shadows and can't cause any trouble. Unless of course they are possessing a human. Yeah, something anyone would talk about over a cup of your morning coffee. I can just hear the water cooler talk. So did you know that Sandy was possessed. Shut up, no way. I didn't know that. Yeah I'm glad that isn't a thing. Otherwise it would make everything else seem to weird. I got in the shower and cleaned myself up for the day. As I was shaving my face I reflected on what had happened over the last few days. My supervisor was killed by a demon who was trying to keep him under control. The seals can be removed from the human who is possessed, but there is no information that may be a risky option to take moving forward. On top of all that I was given an angels powers by Jesus himself. Then I learned to fly and go toe to toe with Haniel in sword combat. She is my trainer for the next couple of days because Michael who is suppose to be my trainer is on a special mission for Jesus. Haniel is a very beautiful angel with some great abilities. Like her aura can change colors based on her emotions and to make things even better. Her host is a girl who I've had a crush on for a year now. So nothing awkward about that. Oh, did I mention that I remind Haniel of her dead husband and she kissed me. I think I've covered it all, yeah. Just a normal life for me. That was a joke, nothing normal is going on with my life. I finished shaving and got dressed. I walked out to my living room. "Good Morning." "Who...what?!" I look over to see Haniel, I mean Kim fixing her a cup of coffee. "How, did you get in here?" "I came in about an hour ago. I figured I would take the watch to let you get a good night sleep." "Okay, I would ask you how you got in here, but I see the window is open." "It's a beautiful day out there today. I figured letting in some fresh air might make this place feel a bit better." "Yeah, so you drink coffee? Do they not have that in heaven?" "They have everything in heaven, but this particular blend is not up there." "I can't tell if you're joking or being serious right now." She chuckled and I was mesmerized by Kim's beauty. When she is around I get weak at the knees. I guess it is my kryptonite, my weakness. "So I thought we would go to our next recruit." "Wait, what do you mean? I'm going to work." "No you're not. We've got a recruit to bring in." "What about my job? I'm a CSI Agent. I have things to do and papers to fill out. My time off is over and I need to get back." "Oh, I thought Michael told you." "Told me what?" "You are no longer to do any human tasks no more. Your primary mission is to stop Satan and try to save as many humans as you can." "So I'm just suppose to quit my job?" "Yes." Is she insane? I can't tell if she is being serious or just joking. "Well how am I suppose to pay my bills unless I have a job." "Simple you will get your rewards from Jesus. He will provide you with your needs." "So he just pays my rent and provides me with electricity water and food?" "Yes, pretty much. Did you ever read the story about Moses and the people of Israel?" "Uh, vaguely." "Well he did something similar for them back in the day. So get your gear we have a recruit to get." I'm a bit frustrated right now and angry with Michael. This was never explained to me. "What gear are you referring too?" "You know your bible." "That's it. Just my bible?" "Yes, that is all you need to help a recruit come to the Lord. It's a very powerful book. I'm sure you have already witnessed it's power with a that demon in the elevator." I couldn't believe what she just said. "You knew about that?" "All the Angels did." "Really. Well I didn't know that." "It was one of the confirmations Jesus told us you would do to confirm we had the right person. Not many humans are able to do what you did. It called for some serious power and inner strength. Which is why your name has so much meaning in the Hebrews dialect." "What do you mean by that?" "Well your name Mark in Hebrews means God of War." What! I never knew that. So does this mean I bring war into my life and I bring death and destruction. Maybe that's why my love for death has always intrigued me. "You see a bit upset. Is everything okay." I looked up to see Kim standing only a few feet from me. It seemed she approached me when I was deep in thought. I got even more nervous with her being that close to me. I mean, I knew it was Haniel. However, seeing Kim's body and face didn't make it easier. "You okay?" I had to speak up. I mustered all my confidence and spoke. "Yes. I'm fine. It's a lot to try and process." "I can imagine. So let's go." "Wait, if I'm really going to do this then I need to grab my stuff from the office and let me know I'm not going to work there no more." "Sure we can stop by there on the way to the recruit." I grabbed my keys and we headed out the door. Just then Steph was coming out of her apartment. "Well hello again. Are you two doing a bible study again?" I looked at Haniel and quickly responded. "Uh, yes. In fact we are going to witness to another person right now." Steph had this puzzled look on her face. "Wait, for real?" Haniel looked at me and then back at Steph. "Yes, we are." Steph looked at Kim when she answered. She started to get this look on her face that I hadn't noticed. It was almost a look of disappointment. "Well I think I left my bag in my apartment. You two have fun and I'll talk to you later Mark." She opened her door back up and closed it behind her. "Okay that time I sensed something." "Yeah, your powers are starting to get in order. Told you she liked you." "Woah, wait a minute that isn't what I got from that discernment. I got that she was upset. I guess me hanging with you makes her mad." "I tell you what you have all the powers of an angel, and yet you are so clueless." I looked back at Haniel as we headed for the elevators. I push the button and wait for the door to open. "So can we fly during the day?" "It's not really good to do that because we could draw attention to us from humans. Believe me that doesn't go over well." "Yeah, I can imagine. The elevator door dinged and begin to open. We got inside the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby. As I sat there standing next to the girl who I have the biggest crush with I tried to make conversation. "So, how did you sleep?" "I told you we don't sleep." "What about Kim doesn't she need sleep?" "The human host is able to sleep in her mind, while I control the body. It allows for us to do things for long hours without having to stop." "Thats remarkable. So could I be able to do that?" "As your powers grow yes, you will be able to go without sleep for long hours, but eventually you will need to rest." "Cool." The elevator door begin to open and we headed out of the apartment. "So do we hail a taxi?" "We can. Do you have cash?" "Yes, I have enough." I hailed for a taxi driver. As it pulled up I asked Haniel a question. "So do the Demons know we're angels?" "No as long as we don't draw attention to ourselves." "So that's why you wear the sunglasses? So that your eyes don't bring attention to you." "Yes. Because it could spook them or put them in a frenzy and then you will have a battle on your hand. Remember if they kill our host they can't come back to life. We can, but they can't so we must think about the host safety." "That makes sense. I will say though not many people will be fooled by you wearing glasses inside." "I told you we will tell them I've got sensitive eyes and the glasses help me to cope with the light." "Yeah, I would like to see how well that will work" The Taxi stopped right in front of us. I opened the door for Haniel or Kim. Still don't know what to call her. I shut the door behind her and I went around to the other side." The taxi driver asked where we were going. I informed him to take us to the police station. "So you going to tell me who our recruit is?" "In time you will see." "Great keeping me in suspense. I love that." We headed toward the station.
