Everything played in slow motion. A constant nightmare that never stopped playing. He blamed everyone, but most importantly, he blamed himself. His sin just made things worse.
In the beginning he feared the visions that would play as he closed his eyes. It was, however, inevitable. Regret and anger often played hand in hand and he had many to curse for those events. Their trips to the human world were meant to be harmless. They were only curious of the lives of God’s self-sufficient creations. They were even intrigued with the little things they had made for themselves, but they were never meant to fall in love with a human. Infatuation was the last straw to break the camel’s back.
She wasn’t supposed to get caught up in their war. She was supposed to survive and live on. It’s what he wanted her to do. But her love made her stubborn. Unknown to him, she was witnessing his events. She saw him fight, she saw when he was overpowered, and she saw when he was about to die. She saw the angel draw his heavenly bow against his bretheren and aim for her dear brother. She was at the wrong place at the right time. A divine intervention, as funny as the word is.
He turned to find her inches in front of him, guarding him. He shouted, screamed even, for her to leave. This wasn’t her fight. His twin watched on in bloody horror as it was his duty to protect his family. With the weapon of light drawn to it fullest extent, it was ready to be released. The protector could only reach one sibling, leaving the other’s wing torn.
Everything seemed to play in slow motion. Her vibrant locks that swayed over her shoulder as she looked to her brothers one last time. A sorrowful smile painted on her forgiving face and the tears the pricked from the stinging pain of her wing. Her hair rose as if it were defying gravity as her body began to sink. She was falling. He reached for her helplessly as he cried out her name. For the first time, he felt useless.
Tears leaked into the pillow he rested upon as he whimpered softly, his quivering lips just barely allowing him to whisper her name.
Lillith.
