Chereads / THE NEPHILLIM Book I / Chapter 12 - A Selfish Choice

Chapter 12 - A Selfish Choice

Bethel lies unconscious in bed, resting and recovering. Her wings and armour had gone back to it's original form, after hours of resting, she wakes up, first thing she sees is me sitting on a chair beside her, looking out the window.

"Boy scout..."   She said.

I turn to her, smiling and glad she's awake. "Hey! You're awake..."

"Yeah..." She coughs.

I quickly give her a bottle of water.

"Thanks." She sits upright as she retracts her wings.

"What you did wasn't cool. Your life for a spear!? You could have..."

"Have what?"

"You could have died! God damn it!"  I get up then stare out the window.

"Since when did you ever care about me?" She asked.

I sit on her bed.  " Maybe I don't care, maybe I do" I said as I stare into her eyes.

"You're sooo complicated. Just tell me if..."

I kiss her, clearing all her doubts. "Did that give you all the answers you need?" I asked.

Her face's all red as she smiles. "Not quite." She pulls me closer for another kiss.

I brush through her hair with my left hand as I gently bite her lips, she unbuttons my shirt as I slowly rub her belly, making my way up to her right tit from underneath her top. We make love.

Two hours later...

Bethel's asleep in my arms. I stare at her as she sleeps, I kiss her forehead then quietly exist the room. I join Castiel, Vladimir, Krystal and Flauros who seems to be playing a game of card.

"Hey..." I said.

"Tyson. How's she doing?" Flauros asked.

"She's gonna be fine.".  I open the fridge and grab a soda.   " Whatcha guys doing?"

"Playing a game🙄." Krystal replied.

"Can I play?" I asked.

"Sure. As soon as we're done with this one, I'm winning." Flauros replied.

"Really?"

"Yep! Five times in a row, I'm on fire😁".  Flauros replied.

"The demon cheats!" Castiel said.

"Don't listen to him Ty, he's a sore loser.😂🤣" Vlad replied.

"He doesn't even understand the basics of the game😒😒" Krystal added.

"Tyson..." Castiel said.

"What's up?"

"Your father will be here any second now." He said.

"My dad!?"  Suddenly there's a loud bang on the door.

I stare at the door then back at Castiel before opening it. It's my dad.

"Dad???" He looks worried.

"Woah! That's accurate".  Vlad said.

"Can't you all foresee?" Flauros asked.

"We all have different abilities. He replied.

Jonathan hugs me tightly.

"I'm glad you're safe." He said.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's... It's Elizabeth."

"What about her? What happened?"

"She's missing." Gives Ty a note.

" This was on her car seat. Jonathan said.

40 minutes later

Crystal and Vlad continue their game as Jonathan, Ty, Flauros and Castiel argue...

"What do you think you're doing!?" Castiel asked.

"Doing what I must to save my sister." I replied.

"This is obviously a trap. I can't let you trade a key to hell for your sister, humanity depends on it. The lives of millions outweighs one." Castiel asked.

"I hate to agree but we must find another way. Bethel risked her life for this weapon." Flauros added.

"Don't make this sound like I have a choice or you have some kinda plan B. The note clearly says the spear for the life of my sister, I don't see any other way around it." I replied.

"Well, to get the spear, you'll have to go through me." Castiel said.

My eyes glow.  "you think you can stop me?!?" I asked as I clench my fists.

"Tyson!..." Jonathan said as he places his hand on my shoulder then shakes his head telling me to stop.

"Are you going to side with them over your own daughter?" I asked.

"I never did that, but I don't want you doing something you'll regret." He replied.

"Like what!? Doing nothing and letting Liz die??"

"What's going on?..." Bethel cuts in.

We stop the arguing as we all turn to see Bethel...

"No, nothing..." I said with a lighter voice as I move closer to her. " Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I'm bored. What's all the fuss about? Jonathan??"

"Hey... Been awhile." Jonathan said.

"Yeah, quite awhile. Funny, Ty never told me you were coming"

"I didn't know either..." I said.

"Then how exactly did you find us? Our location is discreet."

"One of my many talents." Jonathan replied.

"Hmn. I don't see Elizabeth, how is she?"

"She's uhh..."

I cut in.  "She's been kidnapped by Samyaza and I need the spear to trade for her life."

"Oh! Wow! Now I see what all the fuss was about."

"Absolutely not!" Castiel said.

"I believe we can all come to an agreement, there's no need for all these nagging." Flauros added.

"I'm running outta time. The spear or I take it by force." I said.

"By force!? Even if it means going through me?" Bethel asked

"I'm sorry, but I wouldn't do this if I had another choice. My sister's life depends on it. Please, trust me."

Bethel chuckles " I guess you really are selfish. It's fine. " She brings the spear out of thin air. " Go, save your sister."

"What!? You obviously can not be agreeing to this, I cannot allow you do this." Castiel exclaimed

"Of course you can. I claimed it off a duel, I will do with it as I please. Unless, you're willing to break the warrior's code." Bethel said.

"You have no idea what you're doing" castiel said, he breaks out of the roof and flies away.

"Be careful." Bethel said as she gives me the spear.

"Thank you..."

"But you know Samyaza isn't going to let you off easy. She said.

"Yeah I got a plan."

"Oh really? And you couldn't have said this earlier?"

"I did, Castiel wasn't down with it..."

"So what's this plan of yours?"

"I don't have time to explain, my dad will fill you in."

Bethel sighs "I hope you know what you're doing boy scout."   She kisses me

I place my hands around her waist then return the kiss.

"You've got to be kidding me😠" Jonathan said.

"Ready Flauros?" I said.

"Yeah Ty, I'm ready..." Flauros replied.

Jonathan hugs me " Be careful."

"I will dad..."

Flauros and I head to Samyaza's location.
