Damned

Chapter 5

I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face. I go to stretch out my body to notice arms around me. I look behind me to see Lucifer sleeping next to me. It was the most precious thing I have ever seen. He slowly opens his eyes and looks up at me and smiles. He pulls me deeper into his embrace and sleepy sings,

“Good morning my dearest Evelynne.” I felt my cheeks burning up and I quickly looked away. He lifted my chin up and stared down at me. He leaned in and kissed my forehead, electricity shot through my body.

“I need to go before everyone wakes up and makes it harder to leave without being seen.” He smiled gently at me but his eyes were full of pain.

“Of course my dearest king, I just wish we didn't have to hide.” sadness filled my heart but i gave him a sheepish smile to show i'm okay.

“I know strawberry, soon we won't have to hide from anyone.” he gave me a quick peck and flew out the window. I lay next to the empty warm spot on the bed. I roll over breathing in his scent and hugging the pillow he slept on.

I woke up the second time to voices coming up the stairs. I slowly roll out of bed and peek through my door to see my mother and Atticus talking and walking towards my room. I quietly shut the door and grabbed a book. I layed down on the window sill and acted like I was reading as my door creaked open and they entered. I looked up and smiled. I got off the window sill and gave Atticus a hug. His body tensed up then eased and hugged me back.

“Well, someone woke up in a good mood today.” he stepped back and smiled down at me.

“Who wouldn't wake up in a good mood on someone's birthday!” He looked at me surprised.

“Wait, is today your birthday? Omg it is. How could I have forgotten.” fear ran through his voice. Then his face contorted to being very stern.

“You hate celebrating your birthday, why are you happy this time?” I smirked.

“Well, if you must know the dearest brother… I hit my forever age.” I laughed and smiled at him as I watched fear glisten in his aqua blue eyes. Before he could speak the front door started getting banged on. My mother went downstairs and Atticus and I peeked our heads out listening to see who was there.

“Micheal! How good to see you, please come in. Evelynne is upstairs with Atticus.”

“Thank you Freya! It's really good to see you again.” We then heard footsteps pounding up the stairs. Atticus went out and stopped him on the stairs.

“She reached her forever age. I swear to god if you're not her soulmate I'll throw you out along with her.” panic covered my body as I saw Micheal nod and walk towards me.

“I see you are still in yesterday's outfit,” he snickered, “Here, I brought you a few dresses for you to wear this evening if no one else gives you something better, highly unlikely though.”

“You seem pretty confident that you have the best.” I laugh.

“Well, just in case someone does better than me, wear one of them for breakfast.”

“Okay, may I ask where we are going?”

“Surprise princess.” he smirked and left the room. I placed the dresses on the bed and spread them out. I walked into the bathroom and ran the bath water. I walked back over to the dresses laid out and studied them. The first one was dark purple and it looked to go around the neck like a choker and then slit down the middle looking to only cover a part of the breasts to wrap back around in the middle of the ribs and go down to the middle of the thighs. I turned it around and it was backless with a little extra give where it comes down to meet again. I placed it down and went towards the next dress. It was a sky blue strapless dress that turned to a deep ocean blue at the bottom. It had a white band go across where my waist would be. It sparkled in the sunlight and looked to go to my knees. I placed it down and went to this gorgeous maroon dress. It was strapless as well with a gold embroidery on the top half. I picked it up and brought it into the bathroom. I hung it up on the door and I lowered myself into the bath and let my body soak.

Once I got out I grabbed the dress and shimmied it over my body. The top part enlarged my breast with the gold outlining the beauty of the dress. It also sparkled but it was a settled sparkle. It ended in the lower half of my thighs with a black embroidery. It hugged my body squeezing my insides but I didn't think I would enjoy the pain the dress inflicted. I slowly walk out of the bathroom and put my hair in a side braid letting it flow down to my hip bone and having a few loose strands frame my face. I open the door and hear Michael talking with Atticus. I walked down the stairs quickly and snuck up behind Micheal. Atticus snickered at me and before Michael could turn around I pinned him to the floor.

“You have to always be on guard, love.” I smiled at him as he looked at me in surprise. I got off him and helped him up. Micheal was wearing a sky blue button down shirt that could barely hold his muscles in and black pants that made his ass look fantastic. His hershey brown hair barely covered his ice blue eyes. His jawline is more prominent and sharp.

“Are you ready to head out?” he totally ignored the fact I was able to take him down. I snicker to myself and nod. He put out his hand as an offer for me to take it. I let my hand clasp his, the grin on his face turned to a full on smile. He led the way out of the house as we walked to this destination he planned for us.

We walked to an open field as the sun beamed down upon us. He led me to the middle of the field where we were surrounded by lilacs, lilies, dahlias, and orchids. He went in front of me and then Lilith, Lucifer, Atticus, Gabriel, Raphael, and a lot of other people I don't know popped out of the field and yelled in surprise. Most of them turned back around and started the party while Lucifer, Lilith, Atticus, and Michael all hugged me. Lilith waved off the boys and they all walked away talking. She turned towards me. Her reddish brown hair swayed against the breeze letting her waves flow free. Her rose white wings tucked securely in her back as her lilac colored dress hung loosely around her breast and tight to the hip bone to have a little sway towards her knees. Her beauty is beyond comparable. She slowly tucked a strand of hair behind her right ear and smiled helplessly.

“Happy birthday Eveylnne. I have a present for you but it has to wait till later,” she winked as she bit her lips, “anyways, I figure you found your soulmate?” her eyes turned wide and despair filled them. Her lips trembled like she was holding back tears. I smiled sincerely at her.

“I have not,” I lifted her chin so her eyes could pour into mine, “but even if i did, you will always come first” i never broke the stare. Lust and hunger filled her eyes and we both started to blush. Giggles of excitement turned into outrageous laughter. We fell into the field disappearing into the grass rolling on our sides trying to gasp for breath through each laugh. I finally start to calm down when Lilith rolls on top of me, pinning me down. Her face stern and her eyes gleaming. I stared at her, daring her to do something. I swear she must have heard my pleads cause her lips smashed down on top of mine, her tongue swirling with mine. Pure bliss crosses my mind as our hands grab each other's hair and our arms welcoming each other's embrace. All i wanted to do was rip her clothes, have my kisses leave a hot and delicate trail down her body but she stops us. She breaks our connection and presses a finger into my cheek then slowly lets it trail my jaw to my chin and lifts my chin so my eyes are back gazing at her smile and her gorgeous silver-green eyes.

“The rest of the present has to wait.” she winked, then got up and walked away. I slowly brush myself off and get up. It seems no one has noticed our little interaction and she's already grinding on my brother. She smiles at me as she continues to toy with my brother. I slowly walk over to get lost in the crowd.

The crowd was murmuring asking when Apollo and Sandalphon were gonna play. As I got closer to the front of the crowd everyone started going crazy. I looked up to see Apollo and Sandalphon flying slightly above everyone and started to sing and play the instruments in their hands. Sandalphon was an archangel with shaggy chocolate brown hair and reddish hazel eyes. He was wearing nothing but black pants and had two metal hoops going through his lip on the left side. His six pack abs glistening in the sunlight and an evil grin forms on his face. As for Apollo, he was wearing a loose white shirt that was only tight around his wrist and half of it was tucked in his black pants. His red hair was cut in shaggy layers. His lime green eyes pierced through the crowd scanning as if anticipating something. Apollo looked at me and my mind connected me to his thoughts. *Evelynne, can you please join us up here* He smiled and offered his hand out as I slowly brought out my wings and flew to them. All the girls there were giving me nasty looks but my eyes were only on two people. Lilith and Lucifer. They both smiled at me but looked pissed. Sandalphon's voice startled me.

“We are here to celebrate Evelynnes birthday! So let's get this field moving with music!” Everyone screamed as they started playing. I didn't know if I should leave until they started playing the second verse of a song I wrote. My brother must have given it to them. Apollo nudged me to start singing. Fear overtook my body. No one has ever heard my voice why risk it all now. I started getting shaky when they both joined my side and nodded at me. I breathed deeply and the words flowed out of me.

The crowd went wild as my voice angelically started. Their eyes widened and when the song was over there was a moment of silence. My heart froze, air couldn't reach my lungs, all time stood still until Lucifer cheered then everyone joined in. The crowd went crazy asking for another. All my life I never thought I would sing to a bunch of people I could care less about but damn did it feel good. I finally calmed down and bowed. I thanked Apollo and Sandalphon, then flew down towards Angel.

When I landed next to Angel his scent overpowered my brain. The musky minty scent sent chills down my spine. I needed him. He looked down at me with a slight grin and raised his eyebrows. I blushed and quickly grabbed his hand. He pulled me into his arms as I wrapped my arms around him. He took flight as I breathed in his scent. The wind blew in my hair as I tightened my grip around his muscles and dug my nails in shredding his perfectly glowing skin. He quickly dove into his home's window and plowed us into the bed. Before I could breathe or even reposition myself his lips enlocked into mine. His hands clasping my jaw and pulling further into his lips. Then as it all started it stopped. He got off my fragile body and walked to the door. He stopped to look back at me. I guess he saw I was sad and confused because he came back over and ran his hand over mine before gently squeezing. We locked eyes and I saw the grief forming in his eyes. He took his other hand as he placed it on my cheek letting his thumb run back and forth across.

“You are gorgeous and don't deserve this. Don't deserve me. I love you with all my heart but I can't keep you hidden. I want to marry you for christ sakes. I want you, I need you Evelynne. You make me feel things I've never felt, make me forget things I thought could never be forgotten. You make me the best version of myself. I'm so sorry for what i've done.'' I watched in confusion as tears rolled down his cheeks. Empathy is all I felt for him. I needed to hug him and show him how much this wasn't true, but before I could move my brother and a few other gods came rushing in and ripped me away from his grip. They dragged me out of the room as I was screaming and bawling. I quickly turned and bit my brother. As his blood filled my mouth his grip loosened and I swung at the other. I flew out of the complex and headed for the mountains on the other side of the lake.

When I landed in the woods a cold shiver went down my spine. Tears staining my face as blood drips down my wrist. I lean next to a tree and crumble to the ground. As day turns to night my body stiffens as the tears never end, my life is over, im as good as dead.
