ANGEL|CALIBAN~CAOS

CHAPTER 12|HEROD

I glance at him for a second as the wheel starts to move, but before I could say something he speaks before me

"How do you know so much about Ferris wheels? How often have you been on earth?"

I think for a second before answering "I haven't, only the one time I've been on earth I've stayed this whole time, I used to like watching people build stuff, crazy what humans come up with, this is just a glimpse of what I saw"

It's only a half lie, I can't tell him the real reason I think to myself

we sit in silence for a second before I speak up

"Why didn't you kiss me?"

Caliban stares at my eyes for a second as I wait for a truthful answer

"I was scared"

I look at him in surprise scared? "Of what?" I further my question

"I didn't want to hurt you" he mutters truthfully, I giggle at him "how would you hurt me?"

"You're an angel, Eden, I'm a demon prince, I don't think the false god would be so happy with that, I didn't want you to be damned" I look at him in awe, tears forming in my eyes as he looks at me

"Why are you crying?"

I look away and breathe slowly, I look down and fiddle with my fingers before answering

"I'm not an angel anymore, I've fallen"

I didn't even want to look at him but I felt I had to, he stares at me for a second before responding

"How did you fall?"

I sighed and explain "I was assigned a witch hunter with some lesser angels, meant to plunder sabrinas coven but I was captured in a painting, I think the energy of the place and satan had gripped me somehow, and I waited for God to save me, but he didnt" my voice cracked in the end but I tried to continue

I pulled my hair back "this used to be my hair before but now it's gone dark, and I think it's my tally of how close I am to god bringing me back, but I'm not sure if I want to" I answer truthfully

Caliban only stares at me and says nothing, but eventually he gently grabs the side of my face and pulls my closer, looking at my lips, I close my eyes again with full intent until

A scream?

I feel my necklace vibrate and glow and I stop and look to Caliban

"Sabrinas in danger"

As quickly as we could we left the Ferris wheel and ran to the direction we heard the scream

The tunnel of love

Me and Caliban rush over and see sabrina and nick trying to fight some creature holding something in his hand, I am confused until Caliban speaks

"Herods crown" I glance at him and realise

Oh no

We both rush there and help fight off King Herod, sabrina failing to make spells until I shout

VAOAN NOAN OL ISRO BANISH OI TABAAN-

I am hit by Herod before I get the chance and I am knocked to the ground, the feeling of being choked and dying on my throat, I see the crown fall and I reach to pick it up but see caliban pick it up before I could

"Caliban, help Me" I hear sabrina rasp beside me, he looks at us at a moment before replying to sabrina "as beautiful as you are I am tempted, but no, I think not"

My heart sinks for a second beautiful?

I look at him and pleade with silent words instead, unconsciousness almost gripping me he gulps slightly before muttering a few words, and an overwhelming relief overcomes me, but I am still stuck to the ground

I hear Herod say some weird prophetic words but more importantly

Chanting

The last thing I see is Herod screaming and bursting with Ambrose behind him, I immediately stand up feeling more free than ever

I look to sabrina "we need to go, now" and Sabrina nods, we look to Ambrose

"I'm weak but I could probably clean up before I teleport home" and we all rush out, sabrina chanting to close off the ride

As we all walk home, maple syrup drenching us through, nick perks up

"I have a question, who was the person who looked like thor stealing herods crown"

Sabrina sighs and she replies "that's caliban he's-" I cut sabrina off and reply "literally the worst" i sigh and continue walking forward

Nick doesn't seem to be fully convinced though? He doesn't say anything and I don't think sabrina realises but I do

He thinks they have a thing

My heart sinks for a second time, were they so convincing as a couple that even her own boyfriend was convinced?

I internally groan louder and think to myself that I didn't even notice nick had left, we make our way back to the Spellman home

TIME SKIP~

I groan as I flip onto my bed, finally cleaned and tired from today's events, but something fogging my mind

Why am I so annoyed at caliban calling her beautiful?

There was no denying sabrina was beautiful, but I couldn't help feel...upset?

But why though?

I hit my head on the bed several times and scream as I finally realise what's going on

I wasn't annoyed
I was jealous

I flop onto my back and look at the roof as I hate to admit the truth

I like caliban

I wonder if he knew, he must have to act the way he did but I groan as I realize how much I do

I try to sleep but feel warmth overcome me and I see flames

Fuck, here we go again
