The Eyes Of Death

Chapter 13: Genetics

"Niece?", Azrael asked confusingly.

"Ainsley. I was also shocked when I saw her with you but yes, she is one of my relatives."

What? Sibylla is my grandmother?

I was so shocked because of what I heard. First, Maria told me that my family is the reason of her demise and now, Sibylla is one of my relatives? She is my grandmother for Pete's sake?!

Azrael could hardly believe what he just heard. "Seriously? Ainsley?", he assured.

"Yes, it is her. Actually, I think you also thought about it", Sibylla laughed - I mean, grandma.

They talked more and more, reminiscing their past when suddenly, I felt something burning inside me.

Azrael seems like to notice about it also.

Sibylla left my body immediately which made me lose my balance.

"Sibylla, are you okay?", Azrael asked me worriedly.

He may still think that I am still Sibylla. "No, I am Ainsley", I told him panting.

The burning sensation was still there inside me and it looks like it wants to come out of me.

"Where's Sibylla?", Azrael asked me.

I looked around but even I couldn't see her.

"I don't know. I can't see her either", I told him.

I regained my old self. The pain is now gone but still I felt something missing.

I looked at Azrael when he suddenly became silent. "What's up?", I asked him.

"Her time had come. The hell fire was here and it burns her soul", he explained that made me stunned.

So the burning sensation I felt was because of the hell fire?

I looked at Azrael when he suddenly walk back on our meeting place.

I don't have the courage to ask anything to him since I knew how painful losing an important person in your life is. It must be so hard for him since the woman he lost is his only love.

When we came back to our meeting place, he immediately went inside on one of the rooms. I sat on the sofa at watch the movie that they are watching now.

They all looked at me with an eyes like asking what happened but I just told them I will explain it to them later.

Days had passed and still, Azrael didn't say anything to us. We actually felt that his physical body was here but not his soul.

When they all asked me what happened which I explained to them and they all tell Azrael their condolences.

On that days, we didn't deal with any cases. We are all busy with our jobs and Bliant in his classes. We still can't hold cases for now since Azrael isn't in his right mind.

I then thought of visiting my parents' grave and bring some things to them.

I bought Daisies which are my Mother's favorite flower. And a bottle of wine for my Father.

When I entered the cemetery, I immediately found that something isn't right.

I find the guard of the cemetery but I only saw a bloody chair.

The whole cemetery is also filled with crows and some blood stains.

I entered the place and I already saw so many spirits roaming around. I felt like they look like zombies or someone who doesn't have any feelings.

I also felt like they didn't even see me. Well, that's new.

I went straight to my parents' grave and gave them my gifts and prayed for them.

But when I started to pray, many spirits noticed me and stared at me like I did something wrong.

I was stunned when I felt someone behind me. I couldn't move at my place because of the great fear.

I felt chills when his hand suddenly touched my shoulders. I just closed my eyes and begged for someone to come and help me.

God! Lucifer! Azrael! Archangels! Huhuhu, please help me.

I heard a small laugh coming from my behind. I then remembered that chuckle.

I look at it and I saw Azrael.

I also roam my eyes at the place but I only noticed that the spirits were now gone.

"Azrael? What are you doing here?", I asked him.

"I suddenly felt your fear eversince you steeped up from the entrance so I thought that something happened to you and I immediately went here", he explained to me.

I then stared at him confusingly. "You felt my fear?", I asked him.

He just shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer me.

"Next time, don't go here. This place may be Purah's lair and that may be the reason why those spirits are angry at you after start to pray", he warned at me.

"Purah? Who was that? And it is impossible that I won't go here again, my parent's grave are here", I answered.

"He is the fallen angel. He have the ability of conjuring the dead and to erase memories or anything to someone's mind. So be careful with him."

I just shrugged my shoulders at him. "He is a fallen angel, he may be a good one."

"Well, it is your decision. I just warned you", he just told me and walk passed at me.

We started walking towards entrance of the cemetery when we suddenly was taken aback when a guy appeared in front of us.

I hid behind Azrael. The guy look like some prince or royal but with a darker aura. Is he the Purah that Azrael was talking about?

"Yes miss, it is me", the guy said and smiled at me.

I immediately put my head down. Oh hell, another angel invading my privacy. Why they always love to read my mind?

"What do you want?", Azrael asked casually.

Purah pointed at me. "I want her. She is the one with the ability of eyes of death, right?", he laughed at what he said. "Is it so amusing that you found someone having a similar ability with your beloved?", he teased Azrael.

"I think so? You may try finding someone similar to Camil's ability", Azrael said which made Purah irritated.

"Give her to me", Purah demanded.

"Can't you see? She's hiding from you. She doesn't like you."

"Oh well, you want a trade? Give her to me and I will erase Sibylla's memories on your mind", Purah said that made Azrael laugh.

"Purah, I won't deal with you. I won't deal with someone who can't forget his beloved when he had the ability to do so."

Purah suddenly rushes towards me and hold my hand which made me fall into a vision again.

"Hey love!", a girl called a guy and sits onto his lap. The guy was Purah and the girl must be Camil? I am seeing a memory of them?

I then came back to the reality and I saw Purah looking straight at me.

"D-did you just s-saw my memory?", he asked me with large eyes.

I also noticed Azrael looking at me fully confused. "Y-yes, I think?", I answered shivering in fear. Is it illegal to see the memory of an angel? I didn't do it on purpose though.

"That was not part of the ability of eyes of death", he said being still in shock.

Azrael made me face him. "Tell me, have you saw something like that before? On humans or someone?", he asked me.

I shook my head. "No, I haven't. I-it's my first time", sagot ko.

"Try again. Try looking at my memories again." Purah offered his hands in front of me which made me look at them confused.

"What is happening? It is only a slight change in my ability. I still saw your past and future", I said.

"That wasn't 'just' a change. You have an ability which only an angel should acquired. Your ability is somehow similar to a fallen angel friend of us but yours was kinda a bit more powerful", Purah explained to me.

"Having a glimpse of future events for a human is just normal but seeing its past? It is more different", Azrael added.

"So that's why, I need her in my side", a voice suddenly added to our conversation.

I looked back behind me which the voice came from and saw Lucifer.

"Lucifer? What are you doing here?", Purah asked.

"Actually, I was here to pay Purah a visit but then, I run into you. Maybe it was destiny, isn't it Ainsley?", Lucifer said while looking at me.

Azrael pulled me behind him which made Lucifer chuckles. "Whoa, Azrael, chill. I won't fight with you for just a woman. By the way, condolence for Sibylla."

Azrael didn't respond to Lucifer. Lucifer sat in a stool chair and look at us.

"I may have something to tell Ainsley", he said.

I look at him. Me? He have something to say to me?

"Yes missy, did you know that you aren't just a normal human with a unique ability?", Lucifer told me which made all of us curious.

"Don't tell me. It is her?!", Purah asked Lucifer then look at me.

"I still don't know. But yes, there's a chance that she may be that person you all are thinking now", Lucifer told us, or just maybe Azrael and Purah.

What are they talking about? What is me? I mean, who is the person they are talking about that made them mistake him by me?

"We may or may not be mistaken. You actually could be the 'bridge' we are all finding."
