The familiarities of his features were quick to strike, ascending with a sensation which caused confusion-  yet admiration. Anger-  yet  a combustion of sentiment that roared in the pit of her abdomen, and for a moment, nausea conquered her stomach. 

It had only been recently that Winifred acknowledged the fact of never seeing him again. His time with her was sweet, and even though it had been for years, it all felt short and simple, a time which didn't accumulate at all. 

Somehow, he was standing in front of her today. And somehow, as she parted her mouth, the weight of her next words almost gnawed her down.

"You're supposed to be dead." 

______________



The Academy of Enoch prepares chosen young Angels to act as Defenders, or Healers to the human race. Dark secrets conspire around this ancient foundation, and Hunter Young and his group of friends seem to be the focus of it now in this century. 

Fate becomes a matter of justice when Reapers decide to take a visit.

Angels. The guardians of heaven, the protectors of Earth. Radiating with all that is pure, and shining with kindness and warmth that spreads effortlessly. 


Which is why, you'd never expect them to turn against each other, rambling through cities, creating chaos and calling themselves- The Fallen.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_
30 parts Complete Mature
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

The beautiful angel walks up to me and looks at me lovingly. A year ago, I would have been disgusted but now his gaze was doing things to me, things I didn't want, FEELINGS I wasn't ready for. My knees buckle under the gaze of his beautiful golden eyes. He smiles and at this point, he's standing right in front of me, so close he could probably hear my heart beating so erratically in my chest. Thump-thump He lifts his hand and touches my cheek oh so softly, his thumb brushing against my jawline. I let out a breath at the amazing feeling, Thump THUMP sparks flying through my skin. He smells like honey. He leans in my ear THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP and whispers, "Don't you even think about rejecting me". I look at him in shock, how is this being of goodness, of grace, looking at me with an emotion so rare for his kind to look at my kind with.... LOVE. He smirks and blushes at my reaction to him and his eyes brighten in delight, his eyes then trail to my lips, and his thumb brushes across them, I let out a shudder. "You are mine and I am yours forever, you are my destiny" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twin schools, the school for angels, and the school for ravagers have been founded to train future generations to kill demons. Angels run heaven and hell while ravagers hunt demons. What happens when a good-natured angel boy falls in love with a ravager despite her rash nature?
The Reaper Saga [Book 1-3] by xxKatVxx
92 parts Complete Mature
[BUNDLE] BOOK 1: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. For better or for worse. To have and to hold a demon for eternity. She says demons haunt the night, inflecting everything in their path. But where I come from demons don't just lurk around the shadows. They breed in your head. Feasting on your soul until you cease to exist. And, mine just woke up infested in wicked lies. Till death do us apart, little soul. BOOK 2: Girls like them are expected to dance to the tune of evil. To smile with the taste of souls in their veins and vengeance in their hearts. To feed the ghosts and the monsters within them. Discarded by the world and hidden in a maze of twisted creatures, I'm barely holding into my sanity, trapped between the past and the present. Between good and evil. Until one day I no longer recognize myself or them. He says he can see beyond the evil that I am. But it's not him that my madness prevails for or HIM. Because I'm starting to hear their tune, dancing to destruction and chaos. BOOK 3: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. Like my mistakes. Your past. Now the grave is open and corpses are crawling out. Corpses inflicted with lies and betrayals. Corpses that you pull the strings of, corpses that even Hell is afraid to take. You see, little soul, you think that makes you the monster in our story. But you forgot me. You forgot my promise. Our story might have ended with till death do us apart. But even death has a shadow to lose.
The Order by HeatherAustin77
45 parts Ongoing Mature
For thousands of years The Order has been protecting creation from Evil, the paranormal, and sometimes themselves without the world knowing. Each member of the ancient society has been sworn to put humanity above all else, even if not by choice. The Fallen are some that don't have that choice. Many are serving penance after being cast out during the battle in Heaven or for other transgressions. Callen and Fin are two of The Fallen, who are serving their time, counting down the days until they are able to go home. Each save brings them closer to their rightful power and closer to getting out. But a higher power has other plans for the disgraced Angels. Plans that keep them Earth-bound for longer than any of them anticipated. Plans that include Harper McCarthy, who has no idea what truly exists in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Harper McCarthy wants out of life is to raise her six year old son, Cameron the best she can. But when Callan and Fin blow into town, they throw her into the chaotic world of angels, demons, ghosts and creatures that only belong in nightmares. A world that in her mind, shouldn't exist. A world she should have always been a part of. With lies and betrayals coming to light, Harper comes to find that she is one of three keys in a prophecy that should have taken place almost a decade ago, one that was thrown off course by someone she trusted the most. While Harper tries to come to terms who...or what she is, Callen must decide whether to embrace his new role or hold onto his resentment for humanity, who he was sworn to protect. Not only does their world hang in the balance, but all realms may crash and burn. *Contains acts of violence, foul language, sexual situations, Humor, tense situations and a few twists and turns.* Read at your own risk. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Please point out any grammar errors that I may have missed
