The Eyes Of Death

Chapter 18: Island Of Death

“Seriously? Island of Death? Is there such kind of thing?”, I asked Azrael who is now driving. Well, I didn't know he can drive but him driving makes him so hot-oh what the hell am I thinking? He can freaking hear my thoughts!

Ainsley! Erase it, erase it! He isn't that hot okay? 

I looked at Azrael if he seems to hear what I just said in my mind but he seems to not mind it at all, or he just didn't hear it?

I saw him smirk before finally answering my question. “Obviously, there is. I would not certainly make an awful name like that, right? If I could, I should name it like Island of Awesomness or Island of Handsomeness”, he sarcastically answered.

I rolled my eyes at him. This guy is truly confident on his self. He have a high level of self esteem that no one could ever conquer. Why the hell did he became an angel of death again?

“Well perhaps because of my good looks, I guess and oh, hotness?”, he answered confidently again.

Damn it! He did hear my thoughts, ugh!

I just couldn't take it anymore and put my earphones. Atleast I would not hear his awful self-esteem voice, full of self appraise for a few hours of this ride.

I took a chip in our bag loaded with food and drinks. Apparently, there are three bags full of snacks, food and drinks. It is just right for the seven of us.

Before we went out for the trip, Azrael erased Elvis and his maid's memories of what had happened. Azrael also give them a protection barrier since we are far from them and the spirits might come after them. The protection barrier may protect them while we are all away.

I took of my earphones since I remembered that I have not charged my phone yet. I only have fifty percent battery and it might be drained out on any moment. Better save it for good. Maybe something might happen there and we need to have a signal or something for an emergency.

“What are we gonna do in the island of death?”, I heard Elinora asked Azrael.

“It was actually one of Samael's hideout before. Most demons and evil spirits are roaming around the island so you better be prepared for anything. We will find clues if Samael was really reincarnated”, Azrael answered.

Few hours had passed and all people in the car are already sleeping. It is only Azrael and I who are wide awake. Maybe the hot coffee I drank before I entered the car is still keeping me awake.

“You aren't gonna sleep?”, he asked me which I just shook my head for an answer.

“Do you really think Lucifer was not the one who called those spirits to us?”, he asked me again. Wait, did he just?

I look at him confusedly. “What do you mean?”

He look at me in the mirror before he answered. “You know I unintentionally read your mind everytime, right? Even though there is a hundred miles of distance between us, I can still feel or hear your thoughts.”

I frowned. “Unintentionally huh?”

Azrael chuckled. “Of course it was unintentional, well some of it were not but I didn't really want to read your mind all the time, especially when you are talking bad about me.”

“I don't know. I felt something strange about Lucifer. He wasn't that darker than most of the demons but he was way more powerful than them. He also have so many chances to kill me but he didn't do it so I conclude, he was not the one who want us all dead”, I answered.

A moment of silence held between us. He maybe thinking of what I had said but that was just on my observation and also some tiny mix of gut feelings and thankfulness. I am thankful that Lucifer haven't killed me yet and I actually did feel something strange about him.

I just couldn't express it in words but in short I felt goodness in him. Much more goodness than the most angels I had met.

Lucifer is that kind of an angel that was so mischievous but he was very kind. Maybe he really didn't do something bad in the past that damaged his reputation?

“Do not try putting a good thing on him”, Azrael said suddenly.

I look at him in the mirror. “I am not putting a good thing about him. I am just thinking about some tiny details that made him look good in the public?”

"Just don't call him again, not ever again", he warned me but I just rolled my eyes at him. As if I want to talk to you or try to break the walls between us.

Later, I then became sleepy. I grabbed my resting travel pillow and earphones before I fell asleep.

I woke up in a very bright place. As if my eyes couldn't see anything besides light. Wait, am I in heaven? Is this the place in heaven? Why is it so bright?

“Hey Ainsley? Wake up”, I heard someone whispering to me. Who said that? That voice seems coming from outside and I think it was Madison's voice.

“Why isn't she waking up? Ainsley, we are here already. Hello?”

How do I get away from here? I look at all sides of these walls of the room where I see myself right now but it doesn't feel anything strange. Whats more strange is the reason why I can't go back? Am I really dead? Oh no, did the car crashed?

“I think I got this”, I heard Azrael's voice slowly getting louder.

I then felt that someone was trying to pull me out of the league. It was like he wants me to leave this place.

The man's force was getting stronger each time but when I couldn't help it anymore, my mind went blank again.

I woke up in a different scenario than just before what happened. "Is this the reality?", I asked them. They all just nodded.

"It seems like someone was trying to stop us from coming there but we don't know who may that is. But I am pretty sure it wasn't good", Azrael noted us.

Minutes then arrived and we are now at the fish market which was also can be seen near the beach.

We all go straight ahead at the beach, running and trying to catch up with the waves but they are just too strong for us.

“You are all babies. Tsk. Tsk”, Madison said while looking at us playing with the water.

I laugh at her. "Come and join us!", I shouted at her but she just wave her hand in front of me.

"Maybe later", she answered.

I looked at the water we are all been swimming but the water of the beach was just too salty and really not for our taste.

“Well, we obviously wasn't gonna swim and drink the whole sea water”, Azrael said again and handed me a normal water, or so I thought.

I rushes to the cottage and tried to make foods for our breakfast later.

Later on, I saw them running towards my direction. "What happened?", I asked them but they just pointed at the sea water.

I then see that the water had been changed. From a sky blue, to a demonic red color.

"What just happened? Did Moises arrived again?", Mason asked us. Oh right, I remembered the thing about red seas in the bible. I am sure this wasn't about that right? And this red blood doesn't resembles anything about that very scene? I badly don't want to see a reddish beach water similar to tons of blood.

“Let that be for a second. I found something strange in the entrance”, Azrael told me.

“What is it that you found?”, I asked him.

“Fresh bodies of dead people.” Oh hell. That was freaking not nice.
