Damned

Chapter 2

When I went home I heard my mother and Atticus fighting. Things were being thrown and the voices were booming at each other. I quietly slipped up the stairs and saw an opportunity to sneak into Atticus's room. As I entered his room a chill entered the atmosphere. I closed the wooden door behind me and took a deep breath in. I moved away from the door as I exhaled and started searching. I opened his closet and saw robes covering books. I took the books out and they read “Till Death”. I examined it and hid it in my breasts. I then opened the door to his bathroom and in the corner next to the bathtub were bottles filled with powder and liquid. Laying behind the bottles was a dark spell book. These are the spells he was using on me. I quickly took the book along with a few small bottles. I then heard my brother storming upstairs with my mother screaming after him. I had to hide.

I entered my room and breathed calmly. I'm so lucky I was able to sneak out the window in his bedroom while he was trying to keep our mom out. I layed down in my bed as the lilac walls surrounded me and the black ceiling made me lost. I sat up and went into the bathroom. I placed all of the things I gathered onto the counter. I locked the door and ran the bath water. I heard a knock on the bathroom door. I just shouted i'll talk when I get out of the bath. I heard a sigh and then footsteps left. I grabbed “Till Death” as I lowered myself in the tub. I started to read this book as the water gently swayed around me. Then a rupture of waves collided against each other as I realized that these humans he created saw him as only their god. No other god. He was getting praised for cheating. For lying. I got out and threw the book. I dried myself off and went to bed in full blown rage.

When I awoke I grabbed my robes for the day. I let the robes fall off my shoulders and have a slit in the left side. I wrapped my ice white hair and threw it into a messy bun. I grabbed a bag and ran into the bathroom. I grabbed all the stuff I found from my brother's room and hid it in my bag. I ran downstairs and flew out the door. Not giving my brother or my mother a chance to talk to me. I had to get to school first. I had to grab Lucifer, Micheal, and Lilith.

When I got to the stone building I realized I was so early that no one else was here. In a way this was perfect. I went to their lockers and stuffed a piece of paper into their lockers saying where to meet me and make sure they aren't followed. I went to the school's hidden passageway and into the catacombs. I lit candles and laid everything out. I sat on the dirt floors against the wet cold stone walls. I hoped they would show up soon.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me. Shadows and whispering amongst people. I heard a sigh of relief and saw Lilith come running out of the darkness into my arms. Lucifer and Micheal walked in after staring daggers at each other. Lilith turned around and yelled at them.

“Can you guys put aside your f*****g differences and firgure out why Evelynne called us here?” They looked at her in shock and saw me with compassion.

“So, evelynne. Wanna spill it already?” Lilith spoke with such fear inside her voice. I sighed and pointed at everything laid out in front of them.

“So basically, this is stuff I stole from my brother's room. Have a look for yourself.” Lucifer picked up the the leather bound book “Till Death” and started reading from it as Lilith inspected the potions. Micheal was just staring at me intently like he was inspecting me making sure I wasn't hurt. Then they all stopped and stared at Lucifer as he kept reading with more and more anger fueling him. They all looked in shock and in pain. He threw the book and then picked up the spell book and read the potions that Atticus marked off. They all started filling up with rage and threw the potions into the other room. He started to look for a reverse spell. Lilith then smacked him and took the book. Lucifer looked at me.

“He has to be stopped. This isn't okay. No one can hurt my piccola.” his eyes filled with hate and his body moved in a protective stance. I pushed him to the side.

“I have a plan but it's really f****d, we might get kicked out, we might fall. But it's the only way to stop the evil corrupting my brother.” They all nodded and I spoke up about the plans.

“So basically, Lucifer, you have to become his right hand man. He has to trust you. Do whatever he says and put ideas in his head to kick out most of the gods and goddesses during a battle Micheal is gonna say that needs to happen. This battle is gonna be against the fallen and the demonic beings. Mostly we are trying to stir up the seven sins. Start the ultimate war. We need him to believe we are blinded by his power and will protect him at all cost. Lilith I need you to help me practice my true powers after school where no one can see. It'll be easier for the next steps. Once everyone has done their part it's time for the main event. We will meet here at the end of every month when the moon is at its highest point. So, are you all okay with this?” They all nodded and we started with the plans.

Next thing we know the bell rings faintly through the catacombs and we slowly walk towards the exit. We slowly exit and sprint to our next classes. I entered my first class with my brother and then Lucifer followed behind. Atticus gave us the death stare. He pulled my wrist sending me in the seat next to him and made Lucifer sit in the back.

“Why were you late walking in with my best friend? Are you whoring out now? You are such a disgrace.” I looked at him in utter shock.

“Well, I was gonna get hurt by some asshole spirit when Lucifer heard my screams and helped me.” I sighed and rolled my eyes. Atticus then put his hand on my shoulder and looked over at him. He was filled with rage yet he looked sincere.

“I'm so sorry evelynne. It should have been me to protect you and to help you. Not leave you defenseless.” I smiled.

“Well i can handle my own i just didn't want to hurt someone who couldn't handle an angel's power.” he snickered and apologized and we went on with listening to the lecture.

As soon as class was over Lucifer pulled Atticus aside and they walked away whispering. Let the plans commence. I walked around the school looking for Micheal. Wandering the stone halls, voices echoing from the classrooms, laughter and pain filled my ears. I finally got to a classroom that piqued my interest. I slowly opened the door and slipped into the back hiding behind Lilith.

“What is this class?” I whispered in her ear.

“It's basically how to achieve all your powers at once. You can also learn spells. Atticus made sure to pay off the teacher to not allow you in class.”

“Well imma just hide behind you for this class then.” I snickered and then she handed me her notebook.

“This is what we have learned so far. I'll let you keep it since I'm already on notebook two.” I grabbed a plain notebook from her bag that she pointed to for me to copy notes. I opened the page and listened.

“Hello class. Today we will be talking about altering people's perception. So, basically some of you have the power while others have to use spells. People with magical abilities will find it easier to use without spells while others will struggle. As you all know our one true god is getting named tonight since he had the ability to do more than most gods but this is one thing that he can't do without help from our student Lilith. It seems you two are rather close, no?” I looked up at her in shock.

“Yes Mr. Drue, I have helped in this matter to help protect heaven more.”

“Good, as long as it's for the good and not the evil. So anyways for one to learn this without spells you would need total concentration and the ability to see yourself entering someone else's head and deleting what they knew into what you want them to think or believe. It's great in battle for a quick mess up against a greater opponent. For example, Say you're against one of the demonic entities, you will be able to creep into the mind and make them go left and let their guard down on their right side as you swing your sword to the right. Bringing them down and not knowing why. Now, any questions? Excellent. So now, onto learning the spell part. It's a powder so before you go out make sure you have premade. It's paprika, lavender, vanilla beans, and one drop of fairy blood. But make sure you get the right fairy. Does anyone have an idea which fairy you might want to get?” Raphael answered

“Isn't it a black fairy?”

“Very good, the black fairy. Now does anyone know what black fairies are capable of?” Amy answered.

“The black faeries are the ones that are mischievous and like to hurt creatures for fun. They are called unseelie fairies.”

“Very good. If any of you aren't sure how bad they are you may find it in your Evil creatures booklet. Now be careful and you may go out to the field and see if you are able to gain the perception of mindlink. If you aren't able to write down how to catch a black fairy, come back to class. You have thirty minutes. Good luck!” Everyone stood up and ran out of the classroom. I was trying to hide within the crowd but Mr. Drue was able to catch my wrist and pull me back.

“Now, Evelynne. Why did you come to this class? I could get in a lot of trouble.”

“I'm sorry sir but I thought I could unlock some new powers that my brother has been suppressing.”

“Oh, so you finally learned about that… listen I didn't know why he asked me for those spells or what he was gonna use them for. I meant no harm to you”

“I don't blame you mr. Drue. But if you can please allow me in your class without anyone learning about it. I can hide behind Lilith so no one tells my brother.”

“I'm sorry I can't. The risk is too great. How about I give Lilith the notes of everything I will go over and you can keep them.”

“That sounds like a good compromise. Thank you mr. Drue.”

“Of course, now go quickly, your brother is about to enter.” I quickly left and ran into Atticus as I was about to close the door. I purposely left the door a crack so Mr. Drue could hear our conversation so I can save his ass.

“What were you doing in that class? You aren't in Mr. Drues class Eve.”

“I had a question if there was a certain spell and I heard he might know it.” He looked at me angrily.

“What kind of spell, Evelynne?”

“If it's possible to undo a supernatural being, like if one gets turned into a vampire if there was a way to undo it.” He looked relieved.

“Oh, that is an excellent question. What was the answer?” He then looked at me challengingly.

“That it is yet to be discovered, Atticus.” he looked pleased with this answer and sent me on my way.

I quickly walked out of the building and went towards the field. I sat underneath a cherry blossom tree and watched everyone try to f**k with the other opponets head. Some were successful and made others either hit themselves, use their powers against themselves, or kiss their crush. Once the deed was done there were arguments and fights breaking out leading to new power discovery. I watched as Lilith almost destroyed most of the other angels. She really is a goddess. Which reminds me, tonight all the graduating classes learn if they are goddess/gods, powerful angels, or just angels. I was supposed to be with them tonight… but I'll be put in the wrong category. I sighed and flew home.

When I got home my mother had dresses and tuxes spread out in the gathering room. She looked at me all cheerful and proud.

“I got you and Atticus nice clothes for the choosing ceremony tonight! I'm so excited and proud of you both for officially graduating. Now please go try them on! As soon as your brother gets home and chooses one we will have to head out!”

“Thank you mother! I'll go take a quick bath and pick one of these gorgeous gowns.” My mother smiled and continued cleaning the house. I ran upstairs and went into the bath. I let the water suffocate my body as I calmed my breathing letting myself float. Pure bliss entered the bathroom as the sun started to set and the colorful sky lit up the bathroom. I got out and walked over to my bed. Dresses sprawled out. I tried them all on and fell in love with one.

As I put on the gown it flowed off me like an angelic being. It was black that slowly ombre into a dark lilac, with a floral design at the bottom. It had a split going down my left side showing skin. It also wrapped up around my neck with a slit in between my breasts showing their perkiness and the roundness. I put my hair up in a princess braided bun leaving a few strands free framing my face. I walk out of my room and head downstairs. That's when I realized Lucifer and Atticus were both down stairs waiting for me…

Lucifer's eyes were watching me intently as I walked down the stairs. He was looking at me up and down. The look of desire filled his eyes. I must admit he looked sexy. He was wearing a Maroon undershirt with a black tie and a black jacket. It was squeezing his muscles that they popped out even more. His black pants didn't help either. You could definitely see what he was carrying and let me just say, damn i was impressed. My brother on the hand was blinding. He was wearing this white undershirt with a gold tie and white jacket. Literally so bright he looked like the sun. His black pants hung loosely on his hip bones. My mother came down, her platinum blonde hair hung loosely down with only the hairs that frame her face tied up in the back in a cute little bow. Her pink and gold goddess dress covered her body neck down only leaving her arms free and slits on both sides of her legs showing off her skin. The dress hugged her body though showing off her beauty curves. My mother was the prettiest goddess out there. She came over and hugged Atticus and I, whispering how proud she was of us and even if we weren't gods or goddesses she would still be proud. After her emotional episode, we headed out. Hopefully nothing will happen.
