The Eyes Of Death

Chapter 27: Sacrifice

"Call them all then hide Denzel's body somewhere so that ordinary people can't see him", he ordered me before he vanished into thin air.

I immediately obeyed what he said. I dialed Elinora's number and just after two rings, she answered.

"Hel-"

I cut her off. "Go here in the nearby forest now then you can see Denzel in the park", I said. She was about to ask why when I cut her off again. "The necromancer. Just go here already", I told her then I hung up the call.

I put my phone in my pocket and try to levitate Denzel’s body and lay him into the play house. I felt like my favorite ability is now levitation. I can easily lift things without even touching them even if it is small or big.

After I made sure no one passing by could see him, I assured that Elinora and the others will see him by giving them some signs about him that we are the only one who know. It is some secret signs that have different meanings.

I quickly followed Azrael and went straight to the place where my vision told me Natasha will die. It is a cliff filled with many oak trees.

I wandered all around but I didn’t see anyone. I walked back to the park before I received a call. It was Azrael.

"Hello?", I asked as I answer his call.

"Natasha is alive. Where are you?", he asked me worriedly.

I was about to answer him when I felt that something hard hit my head that made me fall into a complete darkness.

~*~

I woke up because of a strong sound of thunder. When I opened my eyes, I could see nothing but dark and blurry images. I immediately felt my head in pain like it was breaking into pieces.

I tried to move my arms only to find out that I was tied up into something hard and rough surface. It must be a tree.

I forced myself to look at what was below me and noticed that I was basically tied up on a tree facing a cliff.

I tried to shout for help but I couldn't because I was so weak. My voice can't seem to say anything.

I can also felt something liquid flowing down on the back of my head.

"Ex hoc autem novissimis sisterent sacrificium. Donec iterum nati sunt tibi in aeternum (I hereby present you the last sacrifice. Let you be born again until eternity)", I heard a familiar voice shouted. Is that Mr. Gregorio? What is he doing exactly?

The thunder keep on getting louder and louder. It was like someone is trying to call it or it was just going to rain.

"Ex hoc autem novissimis sisterent sacrificium. Donec iterum nati sunt tibi in aeternum", he repeats what he said earlier.

He repeated what he said a few more times before I noticed a word he just said. Sacrifice.

"A-ack!", I moan in pain when I felt like someone was pulling at whatever was inside me. “S-Stop!”, I shouted but it just continued what he was doing.

It was like my heart was getting squeezed and squeezed. I could hardly breathe because with every tug of someone inside me, I was holding my breath for a few seconds to still manage to breathe for a much greater force he is doing every two tug.

I felt my inner defense system suddenly activated. Blood rushed again into my veins but they are more aggressive now than before. My eyes were also seemed to click something for a split second and the thunder suddenly disappeared.

"W-What's happening? Why did my ritual stopped?!", I heard Mr. Gregorio shouted in amger. "Who stopped it?! You? Ainsley?!", he shouted again. I heard his footsteps coming near me but it suddenly stopped.

"W-what...", he didn't finished his sentence. I couldn't see anything clearly but based on his actions and the way he talked, it was like as if he see some ghosts.

My focus went on my right when I felt that someone was trying to untie the ropes that tied me up into the tree.

"Hey young lady, you should be thankful you called us on time", he said before he successfully untied the ropes. I was about to answer him when I felt myself falling into the cliff.

I was about to claim my death when someone caught me and brought me into his arms.

A-Am I flying?

"Yes you are", the man answered before he casually laid me on the ground.

"Can you please shut up? We can obviously see it", an unfamiliar voice said irritably.

"Bliant! Heal her", commanded by a familiar voice of a man I really knew. With him being super bossy, he can literally boss anyone around him.

Bliant came to me and I felt relaxed when his hand touched my head.

I heard Lucifer's teasing laugh. "She said you are bossy, brother. What can you say about that?", he said.

I know Azrael rolled his eyes at Lucifer. He always does that whenever someone teases him. "Me, being bossy is not that to be proud of. Let's ask the true bossy one, should we?", he said trying to divert the claim into someone.

My eyes are now clear and I can now see Azrael and Lucifer looking at a white haired man who is for me looked like a greek god.

"What? I am not that bossy", he defended himself.

Purah came between them. "Of course you are. You can ask your fellow archangels if you could", he said while pointing to the two men who are busy staring at Mr. Gregorio who seemed to be shivering in fear. The other man seemed to be Gabriel.

"Hey, don't scare him", Lucifer said to them and they all went back to the white haired man's side.

"He actually deserved being scared", the man in a blonde hair said while he switched his position to Gabriel's side. Based on his voice, he must be the one who catch me on the cliff.

"You know, you can now go back to where you all truly belongs", Azrael commanded then all that made all their eyebrows up.

"And who are you to command us?", the blonde man asked.

"You seemed to not be bothered since you are with the bridge", the man with a white hair seconded.

The two men look at me as if they are ready to kill me anytime. What? What I did just do?

"My name is Uriel, okay? As in the angel of repentance. Don't call me 'blonde man'", he told me. I just smiled and said sorry to him.

The other man look at me and lifted his eyebrows. "Don't you know me already?", he asked me confidently. "This gorgeous face? You don't know?", he asked again. I don't know what to tell him but I just shook my head that made Lucifer burst into laugh.

"You know that was so hilarious. Michael, you don't need to expect that everyone knows you", Lucifer said and still laughing.

Oh my shocking goodness! He is Michael? I mean I know him because he was actually a great character in the bible. He was known for being the chief leader of all the angels. That explained them trying to tease Michael about his bossiness. As I know, Michael is really bossy.

I felt someone is giving me a death glare and for sure that is Michael. You know, you shouldn't have been hurt by my thoughts if you just have not read them. Don't they know the word privacy?

Days had passed and that day was just like yesterday for me. After some talks, jokes and teasing, the angels and demon left to their homes. They told me that I accidentally opened the bridge again and teleported them in where I am. They were also shocked when they saw me at my state but they then obviously managed to help me escape at the hands of the necromancer.

Mr. Gregorio was imprisoned. We are all there at his trial. He was stripped off to his status and was given a death punishment for all his killings. It was scheduled next month but I just still felt something was still missing. Maybe it was because I still haven't recovered my parents' spirits.

Denzel and Natasha bid goodbye to us just yesterday. They are both thankful for me saving their lives. I told them about Natasha's death in my vision and they are both shocked when they heard it. Denzel told me that if ever I re-opened the bridge again, I shouldn't called him because he was so busy for their honeymoon.

As if I wanted to see a half naked angel.

"Hey! You're gonna lose!", Azrael shouted at me.

I was then brought back to reality and presses different keys into the console. "I won't lose at you", I confidently said but minutes later, I lose.

Azrael laugh at me. "So who's not gonna lose again?", he asked and teases me.

He was stopped when we heard someone smashed the door.

"Jayden?! That is the very latest door we just had. You always destroy it. Be careful", Elinora said while cooking our breakfast.

Jayden immediately drank a whole bottle of water. Woah, he is that tired? Why is he even run when he could just walk peacefully. It wasn't like the distance between the meeting place and station is hundred kilometers. It was just like half a kilometer. There aren't any such far distance.

"Hey guys! I just heard something from the station", Jayden said while trying to catch up his breath.

We all look at him, trying our best to make him caught our attention which seemed to be a success.

"Mr. Gregorio died in his own prison just this morning."
