A Deal With the Devil

Chapter 31

Sorry that this one took a while guys, midterms are a bitch. Anyway, enjoy!

Ravanna's POV

As we walked away from Allison, I reflect on how rapid heaven is following through with their promise.

I thought we had more time.

I thought that the less I told Kassandra, she would be safe.

The less that she knew, the less her angelic power would make itself known.

If I kept her away from the truth then heaven wouldn't be able to track her.

It was wrong of me to assume that everything would be fine.

I was so very wrong and first period was proof of that.

How ignorant can I be?

Just because something was not mentioned does not mean that it goes away. Just because you run from something does not mean you can out run it.

I want so much to go back to this morning.

Back to when she had me pressed against the kitchen counter, back to when she kissed and nipped along my neck.

I want so much to just have her gaze upon me with the expression she did. One that was filled with love and disbelief at the idea of me making her breakfast.

But this is the moment we are facing now, one filled with homicidal angels and the danger of unforeseen circumstances.

My Kassandra is developing her powers faster than I thought possible.

She spoke Latin without having any prior knowledge.

She saw Allison's thoughts.

She did so without any bond of the sort, without the linkage normal angels have with each other.

She is becoming more attuned with every passing moment and I cannot help but feel.... scared.

I want more time.

I want to make sure that heaven never finds her so that I may show her the world.

I want to take her to participate in activities that she has sorely missed.

I wish that she was able to just be normal, to have the time to be the human that she is and just have fun.

But it does make it easier to filter out those with horrible intentions, making it possible to prevent the attack that Allison had planned.

I do not know what to do, here she is in my arms. She covers her ears to stop sounds that only she can hear.

I look up to where Allison stands, furious and with an expression of absolute disbelief.

Our eyes locked and hers flared with angelic power, in that moment Kassandra let out a painful whimper.

I held her closer to me, how dare she cause harm to my love.

She moves to step closer, but my eyes meet Lust's behind her person. She moves with grace and purpose, with intent.

Kassandra and I stand in a hallway that is connected on each side, not really an appropriate place to be standing in our current situation but I find relief in the sight of both Envy and Pride coming from both directions, meeting with Lust to circle around Allison.

Lust whispers something into Allison's ear as she stops at the sight of two of the seven sins, unaware of Lusts presence.

Her eyes glaze over and her demeanor shifts to one of a mindless slave. Pride and Envy, each at one of her arms, making an attempt to seem completely natural. Like they have always known her, walking with her in a direction opposite of mine and Kassandra's.
