The Fallen Angels Captives

Chapter 27: Beautiful soul

I assumed they had used the soundproofing spell that Jake used for me the other day, as I hadn’t heard anything.

Amon did look much less hostile and even smiled at me.

As they all sat down, Hunter asked Amon, “how long until the queen comes to this dimension?”

“Not long, I’d say about a month at the very latest.”

Hunter looked confused, “how has she managed to get back here so fast?”

“She’s used a lot of power, not just her own but Lucifers, Belials and Asmodeus.”

Another demon appeared in front of them and grinned wickedly, “you called out my brothers?”

Amon rolled his eyes, “Asmodeus what are you doing here?”

I had heard of Asmodeus before, I knew he was a very powerful demon.

“Heard my name and thought I’d come see what you’re all up to.” He looked at me with eyes that were a burnt orange color, he had tousled dark brown hair and wore only some jeans, showing off his very muscular body so that I couldn’t think straight.

He came over to me until our chests touched and looking down he mumbled, “hey there beautiful.”

I giggled, I actually giggled and whispered, “I’m not beautiful.”

He stroked my cheek, “let me change your way of thinking.” He leaned down and kissed my lips softly. When his hand slid between my legs, Hunter finally got up and pushed him away, “leave her alone perv.”

Asmodeus spread his arms wide, “ah, come on, I just want to f**k the sweet little human brother.”

“She’s mine,” Hunter had that cold, icy look that seemed to be his trademark. Asmodeus backed away and sulked, “fine, she’s yours but if you ever want to play together let me know,”’he winked at the end.

I frowned and whispered to Hunter when he sat back down next to me, “why didn’t I push him away like I should have?”

Asmodeus was the one who answered, “because I’m the king of lust, well other things too, but lust and carnal pleasures are my favourite, just being near me draws you in, makes you want to touch me, to have me touch you.”

He was still staring at me, no, not staring, leering, and it unnerved me now he was out of my personal space. Hunter clearly didn’t like it either because he shocked not only me when he pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist.

Jake was the one who said what they were all thinking, “never in our thousands of years have I ever seen or heard of you being possessive of a female brother, have you even had a relationship before or is Destiny your first?”

“I’ve f****d plenty of times,” Hunter replied.

“That’s not what I asked,” Jake replied.

“No, I’ve never wanted to keep a female nor belong to one.”

“Wait, does that mean you belong to me now then?” I asked without thinking and blushed when the others laughed.

“Yes,” Hunter answered and kissed my cheek, it was Sara who said, “awww, that’s so cute.”

“f**k off,” Hunter replied, but she only found it cuter.

I was surprised he spoke to Sara like that, seeing as he’d been all bashful around her just a few days ago. I frowned at Hunter, but he only looked at me, “what?”

I couldn’t really ask with everyone there so to the room I said, “if there’s nothing else to discuss then can you give us some time alone, maybe go to Melissa’s or something?”

Everyone shrugged and Jake got up, “sure, but Asmodeus, if you go anywhere near my girl I’ll send Hunter after you.”

Asmodeus actually gulped and nodded, and then they were all gone except for Hunter.

“Why are they so scared of you? I know you’re the torturer, but some of them, like Asmodeus are really powerful and high ranking.”

Hunter looked somewhat impressed with my knowledge and answered, “true, but just because they are more popular and well known among humans doesn’t mean there aren’t more powerful demons you don’t know about.”

“Are you more powerful?” I asked.

He thought for a moment and explained, “well, I’m not really part of the hierarchy they have but because of my job and what I do, yes, I’m maybe a step or two lower than Lucifer himself.”

He said it so matter-of-factly like it was no big deal, but my heart started racing and fear filled my body, maybe I’d made a mistake falling for such a dangerous being, I was catholic for goodness’ sake and I had no doubt I’d probably be going to hell now.

I hid how hard I was finding it to breathe and stay calm and asked, “is that also because they all know there’s no point in trying to hurt or torture you? Jake said you scare them because you can be tortured and not break, you can handle it disturbingly well or something.”

He nodded, but added, “there are other ways to torture me, like threatening my brother.”

“Yes, Jake mentioned that too, how come you seem to call him brother more meaningfully than the others? Why is he more important to you?”

“We have always had a stronger bond, most likely because we were created together at the same time, usually we are created one at a time separately but other times and more rarely we can be created from the same, Um, I’m not sure how to put it, it’s very complicated and difficult to explain to a human, Um, we don’t have souls but say we did, then it’s like being created with the same soul and split in half, something like that, similar to soulmates.”

“Soulmates are a real thing?” I asked. He nodded.

I felt a little calmer and decided to ask, “so I noticed you told Sara to f**k off, why? The other day, I swear you were all over her and flustered by her perfect looks.”

He laughed at the jealousy in my voice, making me blush, “you’re pretty cute when you’re jealous. I’ve had a crush on her for a long time, not really sure how it started, probably from her perfect looks as you call it, but it grew as I got to know her, she’s much kinder and real than the others.”

I snorted, “pretty sure she’s just a big horny flirt, basically a female version of Jake.”

He smiled at that, “but you like Jake, don’t you?”

“As a friend, yes.”

“Destiny, you can deny it all you want, but it’s obvious you’re attracted to my brother as much as you are to me.”

“I’m absolutely not!” I argued.

“So you didn’t kiss him the other night in your bedroom?”

I blushed hard at that and then felt guilty, “well, we just had a meaningful conversation and… I don’t know,” I trailed off.

He laughed, “it’s fine, I don’t mind you being attracted to him.”

“How did you even know that?” I asked, changing the subject from myself.

“He told me, my brother likes to brag.”

“What! What did he say?” I asked, panicking he’d spilled my insecurities about Hunter too.

“Just said he’d finally managed to get you to willingly kiss him.”

“Well now I’m going to kill him,” I snapped.

Grinning, Hunter kissed my cheek while I was still sitting on his lap and murmured, “and that’s why you’re my girl.”

I shook my head and laughed, it still felt like a dream to be so close to him, I couldn’t believe how right Jake had been, I literally just had to let Hunter in, even just a little bit, and now he wasn’t just being nicer to me but actually wanted me, me! I had to slap myself just to be sure.

“What on earth are you doing?” Hunter laughed.

“Just making sure this is real,” I smiled and then more seriously asked, “are you still attracted to her?”

He knew I was talking about Sara again, “she’s attractive, yes, but no, I’m not really interested in her anymore.”

“You got over her extremely quickly.”

He laughed, knowing I was still jealous, and said, “well maybe you just have that effect on me.”

It sounded sullen even to me when I asked, “am I beautiful to you, or did you really mean it when you said I’m ugly.”

It was his turn to look uncomfortable, and I added, “it’s ok, I know us mere mortals aren’t anywhere near as beautiful as you angels fallen or not.”

He shook his head, “it’s not that at all, your meat suit is nice—“

I interrupted him, “please don’t give me little white lies, I prefer the brutal truth.”

“Are you sure?” He asked. I nodded and held my breath.

“Ok, well, Melissa’s meat suit is quite attractive, but I’ve seen prettier, yours is ok I’ve seen uglier—“

He didn’t even get to finish the sentence before I launched a pillow at him, “d**k!”

“What? You asked me to be brutally honest.”

“Not THAT honest!”

He sighed and said, “Destiny, you didn’t even let me finish.”

“Ok you perfectly hunky male, carry on describing us hideous humans, no wait, you call us meat suits right?”

He rolled his eyes, “I was going to explain that you’re all born into these bodies, but you are not your body, you have a soul, are the soul, so when I look at you Destiny, you, just you, you are so incredibly perfect and beautiful that it hurts to look at you sometimes.”

I was so stunned by his answer that it took me two tries before I asked, “how on earth can you think that, I’ve never seen a human being more beautiful than you guys before, I don’t understand?”

He seemed somewhat frustrated as he tried to explain, “I’m struggling to put it into simple terms, ok, you’re still thinking of yourself as the body and not you, the soul, you are the soul Destiny, when you die you will leave the body you are wearing do you understand so far?”

I nodded hesitantly and asked, “so my soul doesn’t look like this, body, as you call it?”

He nodded, “it does, but it’s so much brighter, like a bright white light is the best way I can describe it to you, but it shines brighter than all of us angels, making you so much more beautiful than us.” He saw me frown and explained, “it’s because we don’t have souls like you humans, we weren’t created like you, God put a literal small piece of himself in you, so you shine almost as brightly as he does, that’s why we don’t care about your meat suit looks, you could be old, disfigured, anything, and we still think you are the most beautiful beings besides God himself.”

“All of us humans you see like this?” He nodded and I asked, “right now, can you see my soul?”

“Yes and you are beautiful.” He blushed and it was so damn cute to me.

“Are we all the same with the brightness?”

“No, some, like yourself, glow brighter than others, it depends on who you are, if you live a dark path or do dark things than you don’t glow as brightly anymore, it changes depending on who you want to be.”

“So we are the same when we are children, and it changes as we lose our innocence?”

“Yes, more or less.”

I found it fascinating and felt so honored to know these things that most people would never know about.

“So, are angels all loving and perfect like people think?”

He laughed at that, “no, well, they do love you humans, but they are warriors first, they’re not as delicate as you believe, they will do whatever is necessary to please God, they are more like an army, the archangels anyway, your guardian angels are more gentle in nature.”

“Aren’t guardian angels our loved ones too?”

He frowned at that, “no, humans cannot be angels even when you die, you stay human, but they can choose to be your spirit guide, your guardian Angel is an actual Angel.”

I wanted to ask more questions, but I could see Hunter was becoming uncomfortable with the more heavenly questions and then my phone rang, so I couldn’t ask anything else anyway.
