Chapter Five

“You know the story of Lucifer right?” Hannah asked me.

“Yes...I think…” I remembered small pieces of it from when I went to sunday school when I was younger but I wasn't fully educated on the story.

“Well Lucifer was perfect. He was a high and exalted angel, next in honor to God's dear Son.His countenance, like those of the other angels, was mild and expressive of happiness. His forehead was high and broad, showing a powerful intellect.

His form was perfect; his bearing noble and majestic. A special light beamed in his countenance and shone around him brighter and more beautiful then around the other angels. You might say all the girls swooned over him. But Christ, God's dear son, had superiority over all the other Angels. Lucifer was jealous of Christ, he wanted all of God's attention.

Lucifer loved God too much people say that's why he rebelled because he loved God but God loved Christ more that him. So then Lucifer rebelled against Heaven saying that angels needed no law but should be left free to follow their own will, which would ever guide them right; that law was a restriction of their liberty; and that to abolish law was one of the great objectives of his rebellion and then there was a war.

The Son of God, the Prince of heaven, and His loyal angels engaged in conflict with the archrebel and those who united with him.  Then Lucifer was cast out of Heaven by Michael and his sword.” she explained to me.

“I don’t understand what this has to do with Gadreel.” I told her all she did was confuse me more than I already was.

“Gadreel was a follower of Lucifer.” she said to me.

“I thought all the followers of Lucifer were expelled out of Heaven along with Lucifer.” I said.

“They were but, Gadreel switched sides right before Lucifer was Expelled out of Heaven, so he wasn’t expelled out of Heaven.” she told me.

“Then why is he trying to take over Heaven now?” I asked her still very confused.

“Gadreel always looked up to Lucifer thats why when he chose his side of the war it didn't surprise us.

But when he switched sides we didn't know if we should let him on our side, but Christ thought it wasn't fair to him that maybe he had a change of heart. He believed everyone needed a second chance. Now that God has left Heaven…” I didn't let her finish because I cut her off.

“Wait God left Heaven?” I asked her.

“Yes and Christ has been missing since April 3rd AD 33.

Heaven has been a mess since then. Now Gadreel wants to put Lucifers ideas into effect. Everyone is in such a panic that a lot of the angels have started to follow Gadreel.” she finished.

“Wait so Gadreel is a fangirl to Lucifer and when his idle was about to get kick out of his home he switched sides hoping to some day have Lucifers vision realized?” I asked trying to make sure I got the right message from her story.

“Fangirl?” she asked.

“Yeah you know an obsessive female fan usually of movies, comic books, or science fiction but in this case its a man and an angel.” I explained to her.

“That is the oddest term I have ever heard.” she told me, well Ellie laughed at her from across the room.

“And yes you are correct that is exactly what I said.” she told me.

“So what do we do now?” I asked her.

“We train.” was all she said. We probably trained for the whole rest of the day. I was exhausted by five which was an hour after we started.

“I dont get why I need to train, I fought off two demons in one day and exorcised one of them. I dont even know how to exorcise!” I told her.

“The Protector knows how to fight Demons and Angels, but Ashton doesn't.” she explained.

“So why do I have to learn the Protector justs kicks in any way.” I told her trying to get out of doing more training.

“The Protector can get taken away from you with a very ancient spell. Only two people know the spell.” she said.

“Who knows the spell?” I asked her.

“God and his son, and both are missing so the spell is missing.” she explained.

“So then it can't get taken away because the spell is missing.” I said trying my hardest to get to go home and sleep for four to six days.

“It doesn't hurt to get extra training Ashton.” she told me.

“You sound like my mother.” I grumbled.

“I think thats enough training for today.” Hannah told me. I was going to throw my arms in the air and jump up well screaming YES then run out the door, but my everything hurt to much to do that. So I just dragged my aching body to my car and drove home. When I got home I saw that the cops were at my house. I walked inside and saw my mom hugging my sister my the steps. When she saw me she ran to me and hugged me I was pretty sure she was crying and she also wouldn't let go.

“What happened?” I asked when she finally let go of me tears still in her eyes.

“We thought someone took you…” she said. I looked around the room and saw the mess that I made when I tied up and expelled the demon from my mom. I then understood my she thought some one took me. The house was trashed, she was passed out in the chair and I wasn’t home.

Then a cop came up to us and my mom explained to him that I wasn't missing. She looked like she was still confused on my the house was trashed and why she was passed out on the chair. Later on that evening I was up in my room hiding all the angel summoning stuff so my mom wouldn't find it. When I finished I got into my pajamas and went to bed.

                    *                                      *                                          *

I woke up in a dead brown grass field. On the other side of the field was Ellie. She was tired up to a pole. It looked like a witch burning. I started running to her, she looked really scared. The closer I got to her the scareder she looked.

When I got to her she started screaming for help. I kept telling her that every thing would be fine I was going to help her. But she kept screaming for help.

When I finally untied her and got her down she scrambled away from me. Then out of nowhere a mirror appeared. I looked in it and saw that my whole body was an eggshell white. I had two black stripes on each of my arms and a thin black line going down my face. I was bald, had no eyebrows and I didn't have a mouth either.

My eyes were black holes in my head and I had very long fingers. I looked up from the mirror to see that Ellie was on the ground and Gadreel was standing above her.

“What did you do!” I screamed at him but I realized that he couldn't hear me because I didn't have a mouth. Only I could hear me then Ellie turned into sand. I looked back into the mirror and saw that my hands were dripping sand. “Did I do that to her?” I thought. Then I looked back at Gadreel and he snapped his fingers.

I couldn't move I could only move my eyes. I looked back at the mirror to see that I was frozen like a statue of sand. Then I burst and I fell to the ground in a pile of sand. All I could hear as I died was Gadreel laughing.
