Damned

Chapter 4

I helped my brother move out of our house into the God of God’s house. The move was simple since I just stood there and watched him teleport everything there. Once he was done teleporting everything we walked to his new home. The sun was beaming down making our hair glow absorbing and shooting out a softer light. His was of course golden while mine was a lilac. Everyone stared at us in awe as our titles are the most powerful for a god and an angel. The stares made me uncomfortable but my brother whispered,

“You have to act confident or else they would doubt us.” I sighed and pushed my shoulders back and tilted my head high and swayed my body to walk like I was dying for their attention. In all seriousness though, I wanted to disappear. We walked up to the temple. I would say mansion but no this was a temple so much bigger than a mansion. The cathedral stone arks were white with a blue undertone that stood over us with a beckoning call. I walked through the marble doors into a grand entrance with a staircase splitting off in two ways. Royal blue velvet carpet draped over the marble staircases. The stone walls rising and disappearing into the blinding light from the windows. The dark oak floors are shiny and smooth. Atticus walked in behind me and clasped my shoulders.

“I need to talk to you, but first I have to take care of some business. It'll only be a minute. I'll meet you in the gathering room.” He walked in front of me and nodded. He headed up the stairs as I parted left into the gathering room. There were three white velvet couches with a gold trim surrounding the fireplace. On both sides of the fireplace were bookshelves and a painting of all the gods above the fireplace. I sat down on the couch that was placed in front of the fireplace. The velvet is soft and delicate to the touch, aching me to sink in and let loose. I pushed the feelings back and waited patiently.

My brother entered the room and sat on the couch to the right of me. He had someone following him with a tray. They placed the tray on the table in the middle.

“Would you like some tea, sis?” I nodded as the man made the tea and handed it to me. I nodded and said thank you as they slowly turned to leave.

“What would you like to discuss with me?” I asked as my curiosity peaked.

“You are my second in command. I need to know I can trust you with plans and figuring out who's against me and with me. There are fouls out to get me and I need the threats gone. Are you up to your first task?” I nod my head waiting for further instructions.

“Good, so I basically need you to infiltrate and hide in this meeting between gods and angels that I believe are against me since it's only a select few. Think you can manage that?”

“Yes, Atticus, my duty is to defeat anyone against you.”

After I left I flew to my room and started preparing. He only knows of the meeting, not the time and not sure which meeting. I grabbed a leg holster and put the angelic blade in, one cut can kill an angel. I grabbed an all black robe and draped it over my body. I let it cover my breast and had it cover my back swooping down covering my lower half up the middle of my thighs. I braided my hair in double dutch braids coming around to the front and swaying mid way on my torso. I was about to fly out my window when Angel grabbed my hips and pushed me into the bed. His lips on top of mine. My arms relaxed and swung around his head pushing him further into me. His kisses are passionate and sweet. He slowly pulled away from our embrace and locked his eyes in mine. He studied my body and slowly got off looking me up and down. He grabbed my hand and helped me up.

“Where are you going?” he asked annoyingly.

“Honestly, I have no idea. My brother wants me to go on a mission and find this meeting of people he believes are against him.” I rolled my eyes and sighed as I fixed my hair and my outfit.

“Oh yea. I know where the meeting is gonna be held. But I need a favor in return.” I looked up and saw this grin form on his face. I answered hesitantly.

“What is it?”

“You bring me with you.” I just stared at him. Why would he want to come with?

“What's in it for you to come with me?”

“I get to spend time with you and also can be trusted by Atticus and get into his circle of people he trusts with his life.” I studied him hard and agreed. He then took my hand and we flew together to the building this was happening in.

As we entered the building Lucifer grabbed me and spun me into him and started to makeout with me. Two gods came up to us and interrupted us.

“What are you two doing here?” anger hovered over their face. I was about to speak when Luci spoke.

“We didn't realize there was a meeting. We thought this was a safe place to be without atticus finding out. Please dont tell him. We will do anything.'' The two gods looked at each other and then like they were communicating with their eyes they nodded and turned to face us.

“Are you guys against atticus?” Fear washed over me but Angel spoke with such confidence.

“Of course we are. He is my best friend and her brother but the fact that we are soulmates would make him kick us out together. We have to stay hidden. Not only that, we found out he has been putting a spell on our little Evelynne that she wasn't able to have her true powers.``He spoke with such anger and the funny thing is, he didn't even have to lie. They looked at us in shock.

“You two should join our meeting. You would be welcome with open arms.” We both nodded and followed them. I looked up at Lucifer as we followed and he just gave me a smirk like he was saying you're welcome.

We walked into a library and then one of the gods tapped something in the back of the shelf and the shelf sunk into the wall and slides left revealing a long dark hallway. We all quickly enter inside as the door slides back locking us in. We follow the two gods through the darkness into a room lit up by candles. A huge table in the middle and whispers coming from people we can't see. One of the gods that led us here and spoke.

“Lucifer and evelynne will be joining us today. They are with us so please don't be fearful.” murmurs started from all corners of the room. I grab Lucifer's hand for comfort and he squeezes back. But then he let go and spoke.

“May the light shine in this room so we can commence.” then all the candles blew out and a bright ball of light hung in the air allowing everyone to see. The room was crowded with angels and gods all staring at the four of us who just walked in. I shifted uncomfortably as I looked around at everyone. One of the gods spoke again.

“I, Silvanus god of the forest, Will lay my life to remove Atticus from his position and become the one true ruler you all deserve.” Everyone broke out in cheers chanting his name. I looked at Lucifer who just gave me a weak smile. We both knew of Silvanus and his true intentions of just corrupting everyone. He has been god for at least a week now and we couldn't let greed win. We were actually surprised to see so many of Atticus’s friends here and people who worshipped him from the start. We just stared at everyone and waited till the meeting was over but before it was over they asked us why we were against them. Lucifer spoke for me by saying the whole spell thing and he made up a reason why he was there. He never said anything about us like he said to the two gods, but no one asked or questioned and then we were able to leave. While people started leaving Silvanus asked me to stay behind. Lucifer gave me a nod and he left as it was just the two of us left.

********

“Why didn't Lucifer say anything about the two of you?”

“I don't know Sir. maybe he doesn't want anyone to know?”

“Please call me Sil, and why would he want you two hidden? Maybe he is embarrassed by you, doesn't want to be seen with you?” I looked down and knew maybe it was one of those. I actually didn't know why he didn't mention it if everyone here was okay with us and against Atticus. I felt tears starting to form but I breathed a shaky breath and was able to hold them down.

“I don't know why and i don't know his true intentions are but for now it's a nice distraction from the chaos happening.'' I smiled weakly and turned to leave when Sil grabbed my hand and turned me against the wall. He whispered in my ears.

“If distraction is what you want, i can definitely help with that.” he slowly caressed my inner thigh and slowly let his fingers drag up underneath my drapes. His fingers lightly brushed against my lips making me gasp and squeeze my eyes shut outta fear. I wanted to scream but I was unable to move. I felt his lips kiss my neck and breathe down my ear. Tears fell from my eyes. I then realized if Lucifer really is my soulmate he claims to be he should be able to hear my thoughts when i let him. I focused my mind on Angel and screamed for him to help me. I don't know if he was able to hear my plea but I was praying for someone. Anyone to help me. As I felt Sil slowly drag his tongue down my neck closer and closer to my lower half I felt a tug and saw him get thrown across the room. Lucifer then picked me up and I nuzzled myself into him, letting the tears fall down my cheeks and stain his chest. As soon as we exited the building he flew us into the air as I still held onto him for dear life.

******

We entered a building but I didn't care to look up. Still sobbing in his arms he flew into a room and sat down as I was curled up in his lap sobbing. He was stroking my hair trying to comfort me. Then an unsettling voice clouded the air and I looked up to see my brother next to Lucifer staring down in fear. I couldn't stop my tears or the shaking. Atticus gently pulled me across Lucifer's lap to where my head was sobbing in Atticus's chest and my legs were in Lucifer's lap.

“What happened, Lucifer?!” he shouted with such anger that it made me flinch and he started to stroke my hair to calm me.

“Atticus, I ran into her and she said she wanted help in case something went wrong. I agreed to help her cause I also want to get rid of those against my best friend. I talked two gods into believing we were against you and let us in the meeting. Silvanus wants to remove you from your position so he can be the one true god. When everyone was leaving he asked to speak with evelynne alone. I hid in the hallway thinking maybe he saw through our lies. But what ended up happening was he started to take advantage of her. Before I let him corrupt her I slammed him into the wall and flew her here.”

“Im going to call a meeting and show what happens when you f**k with the wrong person.” i felt Atticus’s heart beating faster and i look up to see him in a rage. I looked over at Lucifer who had the same expression until he looked at me. His face changed to such tenderness and love. I smiled at him and wiped my tears away and sat up. I looked at Atticus who had the most fearful/worry look ever.

“I would love to be there and see him get punished.” they both stare at me, no emotion shown. Atticus sighed.

“Okay fine. Lucifer, I need you to come with us. I will officially give you a raise to be Eveylnne’s partner in helping her in missions I give. I think it will work better.” We both nod in agreement but my heart was exploding with happiness. Atticus then sent us on our way to prepare for the meeting tonight.

Lucifer walked me to my house, said his goodbyes, and left. I walked inside and went upstairs. I changed out of the black drapes and hid the dagger. I walked into the bathroom and took a quick bath. When I walked out Lucifer was laying in my bed reading a book. I hid behind the wooden door.

“Can you please turn around so I can grab drapes and get dressed.” He looked up and saw me peeking my head through the door. He snickered.

“I actually brought you a dress to wear tonight, love, here.” He handed me a black dress. I closed the door and examined it. The dress was a silk black with no straps. I pulled it over my body. It followed my frame and only went up to the middle of my thighs. It wrapped around my breast pushing them together making the dress look like it was gonna rip apart. It hugged my body showing off every curve and definition. I let my curls frame my face and fall naturally down to the middle of my butt. I walked out, Angel moved his eyes up and down. He was wearing a black button down silk shirt with black leather pants which had a holster with a knife attached to his thigh. His sleek blonde hair swaying in front of his left eye hiding the scar on his eyebrow. He slowly got up and walked over to me.

“I got this for you,” he slowly walked behind me and slid on a necklace. “This is to represent our relationship. Even though we keep it hidden from everyone this is to remind you no matter what we will always find each other and our love is unconditional.” I looked down at the necklace wrapping around my neck. It was a dragon opal in the shape of a dragon's wing connected to a fire opal phoenix wing creating a heart. I turned around to face him.

“I absolutely love it. It's breathtaking.” I smiled as he leaned down and kissed me. He grabbed my hand as we flew to this meeting.

When we got to the communion hall we let go of each other's hands and walked in. The cathedral walls and arches surrounding the chairs pointed to the front where Atticus stood waiting for everyone. We walked up the front and stood on either side of Atticus. He greeted us and we waited for everyone to enter. As soon as all the angels and gods entered Atticus spoke, making the ground tremble.

“Silvanus please come and stand before the people of heaven.” Sil slowly got up and walked to the front. Everyone was watching him with anticipation. Lucifer and I both noticed that everyone that is against Atticus would not stop giving us death stares. We remained calm knowing this would all change the second Atticus spoke.

“Silvanus, you are hereby revoked of your title for trying to have s*x with Evelynne when she is one, not your soulmate, and two, didnt reciprocate the feelings.” Atticus walked over to Sil who looked absolutely terrified as his grace and wings were stripped from him. The yells became blood curdling screams as his back turned to a bloody mess and his halo disappeared. Atticus then whispered a chant under his breath as the floor opened up under Silvanus and he plummeted to his new life. Atticus then cursed him as he was falling.

“By the power within it, I shall make you a beast that no one could love and every man feared. For there are darker things in the forest now that not even a god can save thee. Silvanus I curse you to be Everything wicked in the forest from a siren to a wendigo. No escape at night and only eerie silence through the day.” Everyone looked at each other as we saw his body get ripped apart and turn into these creatures to haunt the forest for everyone to fear. I watched the crowd as everyone watched in horror. A few of the people that were against Atticus nodded at me letting me know it was okay to tell my brother about Silvanus.

Once the meeting was over Atticus asked Lucifer and I to stay behind. We waited for the building to be empty which seemed never ending since people kept coming up asking Lucifer or Atticus questions as a few apologized to me for Sil’s actions. Once everyone was going home Lucifer and I followed Atticus to the back room so we could talk.

“How many are against me?” Atticus asked eagerly.

“Well, I can't lie to you brother, alot.” Atticus sighed and looked disappointed.

“Well keep them thinking you both are on their side and if something major happens that i can call them out for, tell me right away. I cant have people questioning my powers.” We both nod and leave as Atticus starts pacing, talking to himself.

The second we get to my house Lucifer grabs my waist and flies us into my bedroom. He lays me down on the bed as he kisses me with such tenderness. His hands wrapped around me in a protective stance. He whispers in my ear,

“I won't let anyone harm you ever again.” He then slides to the side of me and pulls me into his embrace and we just stare into each other's eyes until we both pass out.
