“Leo… am I really a hybrid?” he closed his eyes
“Yes... Yes you are”
“But how? I mean I know you explained it before… but I’m still a little confused” he pulled back and sat on the floor
“Normally a hybrid is when two different species have sex and produce an offspring, correct?” I nodded “Well in your case, it’s kind of similar…” he ran a hand through his hair “… except when an Angel produces offspring with a human, it gets messy… the Soul of the child is split in two… its normal average human soul that will die when the child dies and then there’s the Angel soul… it will pass on and latch to the offspring of the next generation… meaning it will never die… and you will have all the memories of that persons past life buried in your subconscious…got that bit?” I nodded again, not sure of what to say “… but the only reason that it latches on to the next generation is because the child before didn’t embrace it… now that can be many reasons like they didn’t know, denial, ignorance or… they simply didn’t want to…” he looked down to the floor “But you see Jen… the Angels have a…problem…. Because of what the angel did… he was banished… sent to hell… he begged Lucifer to help him… but all he did was turn him into a demon… and with that power he created an army of Nephilim…” he scowled
“What’s a Nephilim?”
“Well, according to the bible humans wrote… they are what you are” my heart dropped “But it’s a load of shit, Nephilim are a bunch of fallen angels that were tainted by darkness so badly that it corrupted their souls, turned their bodies black and snake like… they are classed as the offspring of demons… but there’s no necessity that sex was ever involved. The point is, the Angels were expecting you… well the first offspring to turn out just like them… we were all waiting… but none of you did… instead you lived perfectly normally lives…” he stopped and I saw his hands curl into fists, I had a thought of what he was going to state next, but instead I just kept my mouth closed and waited for him to continue “…You all lived happily… until those bastards destroyed it…” he spat through his teeth
“What happened?”
“Each time, I am drawn to your soul… I can just… feel it’s you… I don’t know how…”
“Leo...”I moaned as I reached out, but he waved his hand to silence me so I sat back
“Each time I found you, you would be drawn to me… I would put on the charade of being human… fall for you all over again, you would just start to fall for me… when you would leave..” he closed his eyes and turned away, shook his head, cleared his throat and spoke “Those bastards would cause an accident… I suppose it was HIS way of undoing his wrong… hoping he would miraculously find his way back into the arms of god and through the gates… pffft… like fuck!” his voice was venomous as he spoke, it was frightening to hear him speak so darkly.. to sound so… evil “He killed you… time and time again... but to get ever more angry each time you came back… he stopped caring about coming into heaven… I think he found it sport!”
“Leo calm down”
“I’m sorry… but just the thought of him makes me sick...”
“Why though? Why do you feel so Angry?” I pleaded
“Because… Because he was my best friend… ok? You happy? That murderous bastard was my best friend…” his eyes were glistening… he was crying, I needed to touch him… to reassure him that everything was going to be ok so…as painful as It was, I slide off the chair and crouched down next to him, I sucked in a breathe at the pain my stiff body was producing at this very moment, released and the tilted his head up to face me, his eyes did look at me so I poised myself so that he could not look away
