Raven:Angel of Death

Chapter Ten: Nightmare

"Mom, Mom, Mom wake up" Emily bleeding head

Rafael froze, there Amelia was in a hurry, to get the files needed for presentation, which had started exactly five seconds ago. If it wasn't the half a million dollars she received as her monthly pay, then Amelia would had quit her job ages ago.

Her boss worked her like a slave, which was why she was quoting, the next ten years, so she'd go on a year long vacay, probably spend some time in the Napa valley or spend time with her family in Tuscany, then return the next year.

Crazy right, but then losing seven million dollars every year for the rest of her life seems the most foolish thing to do.

Walking up to the large conference room. She almost stumbled when she noticed her boss sitting on her mini throne(according to Amelia) every other person was yet to arrive.

"Damn it, she was not supposed to be here yet" Amelia cussed internally ,

Suddenly the conference room was filled, surprising her, men and women of different races sat down in unison like robots and it freaked her out. It was obvious she had not seen them.

Handing over the files she had with her to the chairman who heralded the meeting (Castiel of course) who then waved her hands dismissing Amelia.

************************************

The moment Amelia left, Caz heaved a sign of relief, and faced her board members or rather her reapers.

Her relationship with these people was way different from the ones other CEO's had with their board members, these guys were like her children, she made them and she also had the final say, just like Lucifer had his army of demons and shadows, she had Ravens and reapers.

She was the one who had the final say in what they did if she so wanted, but she wasn't controlling like Samael while she was the one who choose them, she also gave them freewill.

Each of this men and women had been appointed by her centuries and millennials ago and each had an army of Ravens under them.

Which was why for the first time ever since she had Amelia Gianluigi under her employ , she had sent the woman away.

"Your report Tsang?"

"There were demons in Thailand feeding on souls, in totality, thirty six demons and were sent back to hell" the Asian man answered.

"Casualties?" Caz arched her brows.

"Over a hundred, Caz, but they were all criminals" Tsang reported.

"lucky bastards" Caz muttered angrily.

"Ada" Caz arched her brows at the Nigerian reaper.

"Demons are becoming quite a problem recently, with the high rate of crime, I try my best but we are talking about over ten thousand demons, they are mainly caused by organ harvesters and corrupt politicians Who actually summon these demons, and cause a high rate of terrorism" Ada presented keeping her head down.

"What do you need, Ada?" Caz asked

" I need more ravens, a thousand more to be precise"

"Okay".

Caz repeated this until every elite reapers until everyone had reported of their zones.

"Excuse me boss, there's a brown haired blue eyed guy claiming to be your brother and he's disturbing the working environment" Amelia stuck her head through the door making Caz wonder what her assistant had heard.

************************************

Caz say the fool lounging on her white couch, popcorn in his hands as he lay down stuffing his mouth like he hadn't had one before which would be a total lie.

The i***t even had the audacity to be watching telenovela on her Tv sets, increasing the volume to the max while tears lined his face at the sad scene.

By El, Caz saw red, this swine was the main reason she had banned supernaturals from being in her city.

As of the moron read her mind, he paused, popcorn in mouth, and like the asshole he was grinned, Jumping from the couch and hugging her.

"Hey lil sis, wadup" the ignoramus said while stuffing his mouth.

"Why are you here, brother dearest" Caz rolled her eyes at the Peter Pan before her.

"Chill girl, I came to c'ya babe, can't I visit mah lil sister no more, I missed ya honey and I know you missed this face" the imbecile grinned pointing at his face, while shoving more popcorn into his mouth

"Nope, I did not"

"Ouch still colder than Sammy" he joked causing his sister to frown at him, looking ready to murder him, which he knew she literally could.

"Hey can't you take a joke Cazzie, relax babe" he joked but Caz was having none of it, lifting him with her left hand, she looked into his eyes.

"I'll ask you one more time, why are you here Rafael"

************************************

no easy way around this, no way to tell Caz he'd been sent by their oldest sibling, who had ordered him out of the Diamond City. Thing was he was gonna be here a for a long time and he knew Caz wouldn't like it.

The last time both had seen each other was over a two thousand years and they had argued back then with the argument ending on a sore note.

He knew his sister would be happy to see him(not) with her being the angel of happiness...(jeez note the sarcasm).

"Immanuel sent me, there's a war brewing, Armageddon, find your ward, and find the others blah, blah, blah, so that's why I'm here" Rafa rushed out before Caz literally killed.

"Armageddon, holy s**t, Samael's making a move and I'm being told now, have Mikhael and the others been told? Castiel panicked.

"Nope, Mikhael and Uriel are still missing, we believe they are on Earth"

Caz was stunned, she couldn't believe it, the two angels she needed most were nowhere to be found, there was no way the war could be won without Mik.

"This, I hate this situation Rafa"

"I know kid, and you are right in the middle of it, which is why you gotta find this Emily kid fast before those leeches do, you got me"

"What the heck has Emily to do with this, Rafa?"

"Caz she's an important role, the catalyst"

"What?"

"Yep" Rafa agreed popping the P

"s**t, Rafa let's go get her"

"We, did I hear you well, you want me now, the supposed useless Angel, sis?" Rafa asked surprised.

"Shut up and get going moron" Caz bit out.

************************************

Emily's eyes were glued to the television set in the living room. She's was totally immersed in the show she was watching in Nick junior.

Every few minutes she'd laugh or giggle, especially each time plankton gets knocked down by Mr Krabs or SpongeBob.

Maurie sprawled on a blue couch with her feet propped on a table while painting her nails a bright red color preparing for her date with Aston Mayfair, a corporate lawyer who worked for the city's benefactor, Castiel Wellington.

Ashton was the definition of a white poster boy, with brown hair and grey eyes, they had met met at a mutual Friend's party and had started dating the next day, this was their third date since the last week.

While applying the nail varnish on her big toe , the doorbell rang, it's shrill sounding loudly.

Maurie stared at her daughter who she was sure heard the doorbell ring and who was still focused on the cartoon.

Signing in exasperation, Maurie rose as the doorbell rang the second time, while swearing under her breathe cussing out on whomever it was that was disturbing her so early in the morning on her day off.

"It's probably the girl's" she mused. Her friends were the only ones who barely gave a damn and would disturb her as early as eight AM in the morning on her day off.

"What do you girl's want now?" Maurie said while yanking the door open, and glared at the intruders.

Only it weren't her friends but a man she couldn't tell from Adam.

************************************

Moloch stared at the woman glaring at him, hands crossed together on her chest, brown eyes filled with distrust as she stared at him warily.

" Whatever you are selling, I ain't buying" she bit out harshly at him.

Moloch knew what she saw when he looked at him, his features usually made people distrust him, his Raven long Raven hair which curled to his nape, his dark brows drown together, his pale skin, and aristocratic nose. He looked like an Arabic scholar with his thick beard.

Slamming the door shut, Maurie walked into the house as she left the visitor back at the front porch or so she thought. For standing in front of the tv set with a passed out Emily crapped on his shoulders with a sword, horns on his skull the size she had never seen before on any creature, and his eyes, a b****y red, on his lips were fangs about two inches tall.

Maurie watched frozen as he threw Emily down on the floor head cracking on impact causing blood spill.

Maurie screamed in horror at the monster had done, she moved , ran, but just like a horrible nightmare, she was stuck in a place, without moving an inch.

She screamed, cried, begged heck did everything to move but she couldn't, but she stood intact, unable to move, all her screams and pleas only in her head as if a thick web covered her mouth.

The demon laughed maniacally, then raising his axe and letting it fall on Emily's neck, decimating and seperating her head from her body.

With the deed done, the demon grinned, his canines red as he stared at Maurie, then a with a cackle that would have made the joker jealous, he disappeared.

Maurie who was now unbound stared sobbed hysterically as Emily's head stared at her with dead eyes.

A sinking feeling of nausea balled in her belly, her eyes filled with tears. Finally unable to hold herself anymore, Maurie screamed

************************************

coming closer to a petrified Maurie who kept screaming her head off.

"Mom wake up, tis a ni'mare" tiny hands shook her her awake .

Screaming on top her voice Maurie jumped from the bed nearly knocking Emily down.

"Jesus, Jesus, Emily, honey come" A very sweaty Maurie enveloped her daughter in her arms as she wept into Emily's curly hair, muttering words that barely made sense. God knew Emily was her everything and Maurie would kill to keep her safe.

" Mom I'm okay, I'm not going anywhere" Emily murmured as tears streamed her down her eyes to her cheeks as she reacted to the tears of her mother.

As if a switch had been flipped in Maurie's head. The woman shook off her daughter's embrace, then holding the girl's face in her palms she looked into Emily's eyes.

"Honey, I'm gonna protect you, I'm not going let anything happen to you chica, alright?" She promised frantically, scared she'd lose her daughter to the antagonist of her nightmare.

"Okay mom, but let go mom, I gotta watch SpongeBob SquarePants" the wriggling said, as she tried to get out of her mother's arms.

Maurie hearing the word SpongeBob, couldn't help but remember that Emily had been watching that cartoon in her nightmare before tragedy had struck.

Moving like an automated machine Maurie ignored Emily who rushed to the living room to watch her favorite cartoon.

Maurie rushed into Emily's bedroom packing and stuffing clothes and other necessities in a box, as she went about.

"Honey, come on we are going on a vacation" Maurie said as she pushed two heavy bags into the living area.

"Don't wanna mom" Emily said still watching the cartoon. An enraged Maurie who feared for her daughter's life and had her best interests at heart, unplugged the TV causing the eight year old daughter to whine at the loss of her favorite show.

"Here take Lena" Maurie said tossing a white smiling teddy to Emily's arms as a bribe knowing After her love for her Cat and SpongeBob came her love for the tattered stuffed bear.

"Where're we going to mom? Emily asked all curious as her mom who was searching her purse frantically for her car keys paused momentarily.

"Tijuana, honey, we're going to Mexico"

"But mom I don't wanna, Tia Imelda hates me, Abuelo Felipe does too" she complained, folding her arms and standing akimbo.

Maurie took a deep breath, she knew her cousin and grandfather hated her daughter but she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If she were to stay, her daughter and herself would be toast, this was a matter of live and death. The woman knew she was overacting, but then she also knew most of her nightmares come true so rather than risk it, she'd face the hate from her own familia.

"Honey we ain't got no other choice and we will be back before you know it" Maurie said

"Promise" Emily raised her pinky toward her mom. Maurie signed before twinning her fingers with Emily's.

"I promise"

"Knock, knock, Holla strangers" a deep accented voice growled hitting heavy fists to the simultaneously.

Maurie Froze at the sound of the voice, it sounded familiar.

"It's all in my head, it's all in my head" she muttered feverishly.

"Open this door Maureen Anna Rodriguez or I'll break it you puny little human"

Maurie unfrozen from her temporarily state and swung into action, an idea suddenly came to her.

"Em honey, listen to me" Maurie said as she grabbed the kid by the shoulders, her brown eyes meeting Emily's darker pair. " I need you to run, there's a very bad man that wants to hurt you, so I want you to run as fast as you can, forget mommy, honey go get help"

Emily nods and Maurie watched her run toward the staircase. Moving swiftly, Maurie grabbed the Hunting g*n her father previously owned.

Emily who was at the stairway paused, staring back at her mother like she could understand the sacrifice he mom was making, a lone tear streaked down her chin. Swiping at it she looked towards her mom.

" Mom will you be okay?" The kid looked down as the door fell from its hinges.

A huge man ran in, except he looked like a monster, he had huge horns like that of a ram with a red face, he looked so ugly and scary that she automatically knew what he was.

Maurie felt her eyes widen in surprise and fear. what the heck was this, he looked the part of a supervillain in a bad horror movie.

Dressed in a body hugging suit, the creature moved toward and Maurie found herself frozen in fear. Remembering her nightmare, the woman snapped out of her reverie as she shot him, shot after shot.

The demon grinned, his fangs brown with eons of no dental care as he caught each bullet with his fingers, it did nothing to deter him.

Appearing next to Maurie, he snatched the g*n from her.

"Looking for this Maureen" he said running his tongue on the trigger while watched the hopelessness in Maurie's eyes, he broke the rifle into two with his right hand while lifting Maurie with the other hand.

"Goodbye Human, see ya in hell" the demon whispered into Maurie's ears before clasping his fangs on her neck.
