Hell In Heaven

Chapter three

“You are more likely to achieve your goals if you keep them to yourself” 

Genevieve POV 

“You’re a demon?” I say struggling to process all of this. We were warned in heaven to not talk to demons. It’s said that they are quite dangerous and can be very manipulative, but he doesn’t seem to be like that, I mean he helped me and tried to talk you me. He must be nice doing all of that. The demons that attacked heaven were the evil ones. The ones that held a grudge against heaven and god, those are the ones we should be scared of. 

“How are you so nice to me?” I fire at him another question strait after I’ve asked the first question, not giving him a chance to answer

“Well not all demons are meanies are they, some of us can be nice. So very stereotypical of you l, angel” he says, his voice sounding sad and hurt. 

“Oh no that’s not what I meant, it’s just everyone at heaven warns us about how much of a bad influence demons are.” I instantly feeling guilty that I might have hurt his feelings. 

“I know, I’m just messing with you” he laughs and his deep, strong laugh sounds so nice. It sounds like melting chocolate...huh. What. What is wrong with me? I don’t think like that. This is not me. I’m not allowed to think like that, I need to stop. I’m sorry god, I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me. 

I take a look at Aliya to check up on her and see her running around and playing with the little boy. Looks like the boy did his job at comforting her, now she all happy and carefree.

“So tell me angel, what’s your name?” He asked sounding genuinely curious. 

“My name is Genevieve, what’s yours?” Wanting to know more about him, I feel attached to him even though I just met him not long ago. 

“I’m Hayes, nice to meet you.” He introduces himself properly, even extending his hands put for me to shake. 

As I shake his hands, I get tingles down my spine, almost like little electric shocks that arise goosebumps within me. I take my hand back immediately to shocked, not knowing what that was. It’s freaking me out. 

I look at him to see his face mirroring mine, he looks as shocked as I am. 

He brings his hands near my face, almost about to touch my cheeks when I jump back away from him, scared that the tingles will happen again. As I do that he looks at me with sad, frustrated eyes before the turn into understanding eyes and retreats his hands back, lowers his almost defeated.

“You don’t know do you? They haven’t told you have they?” He asks almost to himself but I manage to hear it. 

“Know what? What are you talking about?” I ask almost out of breath. 

His head snaps up, startled that I managed to hear him.

He gets up suddenly, trying to get away from me. As far as possible, like I burnt him or something. 

“I-I need to go. We can’t do this. I can’t do this right now.” He says his voice going from very low volume, to a very sudden loud volume at the end. It startles me, scares me. He gives me one last look of remorse and then flies away. His wings fluttering beautifully behind him, they look like they will swallow him whole even with his large built. 

I get up from the side walk that I’ve sitting on for this while time and walk around the neighbour hood. Why did he leave like that so suddenly? Did I do something wrong? I must have, I mean like he was so nice to me and actually talked to me but then his mood changed so suddenly. Like something bad happened. 

Coming out of my thoughts I realise that I’ve walked a bit to far and I might be lost. I don’t know to where I walked as I was lost in my thoughts and I don’t know how to go back to Aliya’s house. What do I do now? What do I do? I start to look around, looking for something familiar that might help lead me back to where I was, but end up with nothing that looks familiar to me. Oh no... oh no. What do I do now? I don’t have anywhere to go, I can’t ask anyone for help or my bubble will burst. 

I feel like I’m almost going to burst into tears as I sit on the bench near the park I stopped at. I don’t know where I am, I don’t have anyone to help me and I don’t know where to go. I have barely even started the test and I’m failing at it already. Wow, such a failure I am. Couldn’t even do one thing right and just focus on the task I had at hand. I had to mess everything up, I’m sure they’re watching me right now up there, are they judging me? I wouldn’t really blame them if they were. 

Is molly going to be disappointed in me? After all she’s taught me, I couldn’t do it. She had put all her trust into me and I couldn’t be responsible. 

“Uhhhhhh” I scream into the world, out of frustration. 

“Why are you screaming like that, in the middle of the park?” I hear the deep familiar voice again behind me, starling me once again.
