Jacob woke up with a slight ringing in his ears. He was in a bed in a different room than the one he had been the previous day. The room was luxurious whoever his host was they were surely rich. He lay in a king sized bed covered in silky sheets and expensive blankets.
He got up from bed and went to the bathroom first. He urgently needed to pee. When he was done he went to the mirror. He was wearing different clothes pajamas to be exact and he also noticed that his wounds were healed though he still head a slight headache.
He left the bathroom and decided to head downstairs. He left the room and proceeded to find the stairs only problem was he couldn't find any. After a couple of wrong turns he finally found an elevator and pressed the button that led to the ground floor. The elevator doors opened to reveal a very beautiful living room.
He stepped out and walked into the room. A man was sitted with he's back towards Jacob. He was looking out a huge window sipping on what Jacob assumed to be tea maybe coffee given it was morning. From Jacob's point of view he could see that the man was tall and had long hair, other than that he couldn't tell.
"So you're up huh " the man said without glancing back " Well then why don't you join me for breakfast".
The man stood up and looked at Jacob with fire dancing in his eye sockets and Jacob realized that the man wasn't just a man, he was a Jinn.
"I take it you're the one who saved me and Samantha"
Jacob face palmed himself, he had completely forgotten about her. "Where is she if I may ask?"
The man smiled " She is safe" he said " resting just as you were though she might be out for a couple more days seeing that that demon bit her"
" Wait what!!" Jacob exclaimed " She got bit. Oh no that's bad that's really bad she's going to die" he said.
" She's fine " the man said " You need not worry, she has already been treated to and now she is healing"
He led them away into a dinning room. There was a long table flanked by chairs on all sides. Every inch of it was covered with food . The chairs weren't empty though they were filled with people who were eating and laughing. They quieted down when they saw Jacob and his host entered. The man led Jacob to the head of the table and set down gestured for Jacob to sit beside him on an empty chair that was beside him to his left.
He sat down and a plate was out before him with food. "Eat" the man said. After a couple of minutes the man stood up and the room went silent.
"Family and friends as you can see we have a guest" he said " I'll start by introducing myself. I am An-Nar and sitted beside me is my wife Bahr. As you may have noticed I am Jinn and so is my wife and many of those you see before you as well "
" I have noticed " Jacob said " And I thank you for having me "
"Now then if you wouldn't mind introducing yourself my friend " An-Nar said.
Jacob stood up and introduced himself " I am Jacob " he said. " And as you may have noticed I am fallen "
Jacob's hanged his head low in shame.
"Do not be in despair " Bahr An-Nar's wife said " We have all wronged the Lord in one way or another. Many of those seated here were once in your place but have started on the path to redemption. You forget my dear that the Lord is a God of forgiveness. All you have to do is earn it "
Jacob looked at the woman who seated before her. She sounded very wise and her words have him a sense of hope. She reminded him of the cool breeze of the Sea then he remembered Bahr was the Jinn princess of the Sea and An-Nar was a fire Jinn.
"Now that introductions are out of the way I believe everyone is curious as to why you have fallen" said a girl further along the table. " I'm sure I'd like to know why. It's not everyday an angel falls you know" she said.
" I'm not sure " Jacob began " I don't remember why I have fallen all I remember is being cast down by a watcher. I fell so fast that for the first time since my creation I became frightened. I tried to slow my descent by stretching my wings but the sheer speed of my fall caused them to burn up. I crashed in a park barely managed to walk away and then to make matters worse I was mugged,but that wasn't enough they dumped me in an alley way between two dumpsters and I didn't even anything of value on me. Can you even begin to imagine the shame , a human capable of attacking an angel despite being fallen"
" I know I can't " said another girl and some of them laughed.
" Well that wasn't nice of you was it now Aisha " said Bahr.
"I'm sorry " she said.
" Well said An-Nar you are welcome to stay here as you can see we can accommodate an army. Now the matter about the human"
As if on cue Samantha stepped into the room and everyone looked at her frozen. The first thing she noticed was that there was quite a number of people here. The second was that some of the people had flames instead of eyes on their sockets and one of them was sitted at the head of the table with Jacob beside him, but that wasn't the reason why she fainted in the next three seconds.
In a blink of an eye an monstrous thing popped out of nowhere beside her and entered the room. This brought back all the memories that had happened the night before like a flood and she couldn't process it all at once and the fact that she was seeing something so bizzare while everyone was seated calmly was just too much so her brain decided on the logical thing to do which was to shut down.
"Ahhhh forgive me for asking " said a guy close to where Samantha lay on the floor " Is it supposed to to do that"
