At some point I had again passed out only to wake up in the same hell as before the pain still screaming in my body.
"What's the matter are you getting weaker Dantalis?"
The voice inside me asked
"Let me out and you could avoid all this pain."
My body cringed again as another burst of angelfire entered my body.
"It won't be long now even you have a limit."
"ENOUGH!"
I screamed at the voice
Michael stared at me in surprise
"Have you finally given up Dantalis?"
I scowled at him
"I wasn't talking to you."
Michael arched his eyebrows as he opened his mouth to talk but was stopped by the door slamming open.
"Sire-"
Michael cut him off.
"I told you not to interrupt."
"But sire Azraels been taken!"
"That's impossible by who?"
"Their saying it's Reece Valour sire she and Kailion defeated him and took him to the underworld."
Michaels wings flared with anger as as he turned to face me.
"You sent her to them! See what you have started!"
Turning he ordered
"Take him back to his cell he will be punished for his crimes."
Grabbing me by the throat he smiled wickedly
"You are no angel of heaven you will be stripped of your oath to heaven and shamed for betraying us. Let the demon inside you eat your soul til there is nothing left."
I bared my fangs at him as he smiled turning away and exited through the door.
It was the ultimate punishment and he knew it.
Two angels I didn't know unchained me and carried me back to my cell.
I should've known just killing me wouldn't be enough for Michael. He knew what resides in me he knew that stripping me off my oath would allow the demon to take over the hatred in me grew. Soneillon laughed.
"Soon."
The guards opened the door to holding cells I couldn't look at the now empty cell that Peter had been put in.
"What the fuck? Bro what did he do to you?"
I caught the shocked face of Reeces mother Sariel before I was deposited on the make shift bed of my cell. The trinium returned not that I could move to escape anyway.
"Dantalis??"
Sariels voice held pity as the door closed behind the guards.
"Michael has gone too far."
Cams voice held so much anger in those words his hated fuelling the demon inside me.
"Dantalis say something bro."
I turned my back on him forcing back the demon with every bit of strength I had left.
"How long?"
Cam remained silent confused by my question.
"How long was I gone?"
Sariel answered first
"Two days."
Two days, it felt like weeks. Months even of the constant pain each worse then the one before. Then I remembered the reason why I had been sent back. Azrael had been captured and by Reece what the hell were those two planing and what was Kail getting her involved in. He was meant to hide her not throw her head first into an archangel.
"Sariel?"
"I'm here."
"Your daughter has captured Azrael and with Kailion has taken him to the underworld."
"What the fuck Reece took down an archangel? How is that possible and for what reason."
Sariel remained silent whether she was having a hard time digesting the news I had no idea.
Finally she answered
"Thank you for telling me I am sorry Dantalis for all the horrible things that have happened to you. You have endured many life times worth of turmoil and I can tell that you deserved none of it. A mother couldn't ask for a more worthy mate for her daughter."
I laughed bitterly
"Some mate I am son of lucifer cursed with a demon and soon to be stripped of my oath where apon the demon inside me will have my soul."
Her voice was sad but gentle
"Your soul is good Dantalis I refuse to believe otherwise I would not want anyone else for my daughter."
I scoffed
"She doesn't even know I'm her mate and by the time she does I'll no longer be myself."
"Don't say that bro you've been fighting what's inside you for centuries you can't give up now."
Turning I yelled
"What's the point cam she deserves better than all of this. Maybe I'm better off giving up my soul and so is she."
"Dantalis it is not the end why do you think she would capture Azrael?"
I remained silent having no answer why would she what would the point be.
"Ask yourself this who is Azraels sworn brother?"
Raziel of corse everyone knew that what does it matter. Then it hit me Raziel the Angel of knowledge knew everything they would need to know to get into heaven.
"She is coming for you Dantalis she is planing a rescue."
I tried to sit up wincing through the pain I looked to cam who's smile had widened with hope.
I shook my head
"It's suicide she would be delivering herself right
To Michael."
"Not like you can stop her stuck in here bro."
I couldn't believe what Kail was letting her do I stupidly trusted him to keep her safe. I should've known he would fuck it up. I punched the wall beside me. The act creating new waves of pain I shrugged off the feeling as it barely registered any more.
"That idiot I thought he cared about her."
"I doubt she gave him much choice if she's anything like her father."
I growled
"I'm going to kill him anyway for helping her in this idiotic plan."
"Worry about herself bro you've just been tortured for two days Reece can obviously look after herself there's no fledgling I know that could take down an archangel."
"How do we know she even took him down herself."
Even as I said this I knew i was kidding myself
"If your brother had the power to take down an archangel don't you think he would've done it by now?"
I sighed
"It doesn't matter it would take and army to break me out of heaven even if that was her goal."
At this Sariel chuckled
"How do you know she hasn't got one?"
I saw cam stare towards Her eyes wide in realisation.
"She wouldn't."
He turned to me
"Would she?"
I knew what he was asking but I couldn't let myself believe she would join lucifer just to rescue me. Yes she was my mate I knew that and I would do anything to save her if she was in trouble but she was only a fledgling feelings as strong as finding your soulmate would not be so quick to notice as it was to me.
If she had done the unthinkable and joined the underworld her soul would slowly rot turning into someone who enjoys the misery of others I couldn't let that happen to her, but what could I do I was trapped soon to be stripped of my oath and left bare to the demon inside me.
"I believe my daughter is doing everything within her power to get you back Dantalis she may not understand it but her soul can not stand being parted from yours. Tell me you would not do the same for her if the roles were reversed."
I didn't even hesitate
"Of corse I would I would carve out my own heart if it meant keeping her safe."
"Then do not doubt everything she is doing is for your sake I know what it's like to be mated there is no escaping it's pull. She is the child of prophecy Michael's ruthless actions have made her the child of prophecy there is a war coming and Reece will be thrust into the middle of it all because of those who will use her power for their own selfish desires."
She paused
"You must help her Dantalis she will need you in this war."
"How can I help her trapped in this cell? If you are right and she plans to use my fathers army to free me then she has sold her soul him. The things she will have to do to free me will change her beyond belief,"
I shook my head
"Of all people I should know."
"That Dantalis is why it must be you i believe that is why fate has chosen you as her soulmate. Only someone who knows the taint of evil can save my daughter. Have faith Dantalis you will see her again I just prey she gets here before your oath is stripped."
"That makes two of us."
Cam watched the exchange in silence what he thought on the matter I couldn't tell but Sariel was right i will save her from my father and the evil he plans on instilling in her. She will not become like me forever fighting a demon who resides inside her soul. So I will wait and prey she has not gone too far when she comes for me. I only hope I will still myself when she does.
