Chapter 2 - Angel

When I wake up I see another dark skinned woman looking at me with pity. I'm in a bachelor's pad of some sort. The woman is skinny, skin tight on her frail bones. "I'm glad you've woken up." She smiles. Her and Monique both have such uniquely beautiful caramel skin. But maybe she's different from Monique, I shouldn't judge her based on her skin color just because someone with a similar tone of skin did me wrong.

"How long?" She looks at me and after a while notices what I mean. "Oh you've been in a coma for 1,000 years.

What? A thousand years? She must see the absolute shock on my face as she pats my arm and hugs me.

"It's ok buttercup, we'll figure out everything soon." Her words are awfully comforting, and I can't help but wonder why someone with devil's skin would be so nice to me. But what's happened since then? What's happened to my mom. Did I upset the gods of my absence. I hope not.

"Can you tell me who you are?" She nods. I feel like I shouldn't trust her. She's being way too nice.

I remember before the vampires went extinct I had a crush on this boy named Xavier, her told me stories about Gods slitting each others necks in their sleep. Maybe I should use his word of wisdom now. He was always such a bright bo-

"My name is Corrine, but I prefer to be called Coco. Gods and Goddesses have gone near-extinct, we are a endangered species. The Witches have gone too far with the Katagami. They've killed almost all of us to near extinction. It doesn't help that, well you know, us gods are usually celibate so we aren't of high popul-"

"THEY HAVE THE KATAGAMI!? AND DEAD! GODS CAN'T BE KILLED!" Oh my god this is worse than I thought, I knew the witches were planning something, but I didn't think it was of this level. That's why I got caught by Monique and her coven in the first place I threatened them with death and they somehow beat my ass with ease. Even if I'm just half a god, witches in history never held a candle to gods, hell no species held a candle to gods except for angels and demons and spirits of divine or demonic energy, and those or rarer species than us Gods. Witches are known for being the most powerful species excluding Gods, demons, angels and spirits of course. But they never were a real threat to us until now.

She must feel the inner turmoil in my head so she lets go of the hug and says something even more shocking.

"Gods aren't immortal anymore, you've been basically temporarily dead for a thousand years. After she stabbed you in your-

She stops not wanting to recall after she had to use healing magic on my cunt. That bitch had the nerve to stab me in my pussy. "They hid your body well with wards and other defensive, and concealing incantations. And Monique used your magic to cause mayhem as the-

"Yeah I know the knife was siphoning my magic to me to her." I just realize the inside of my mouth is bleeding and I stop chewing in my cheek, it healing in seconds. I have so many questions. "How aren't gods immortal anymore, that's not possible." She shakes her head.

"Well that bitch Monique who I killed by the way." She holds out her hand white skin facing up, and her head comes out of thin air, both eyes missing. That's what she gets for gouging out my eyes with her weird magic. I can't keep out my head what my mom told me, I refuse to believe her. Not all dark skinned people are the same.

Even though I believe her, how could a human overpower a Deity? And not just any god my mother Hera, Queen of the Gods. It makes no sense how a ugly human would be able to force himself on a woman able to create ruptures on the planet with a single thought. My skin is pale, so there's no possibility that I'm black. My mom always told me I should be ashamed of my skin, it wasn't as pale as the other girls, it was pale but it had this brownish hue to it. Must be from staying in the sun for so long. I see how that night when he took her to the mountains affected her. I can see it in her eyes. No way I'm related to scum who force themselves on people.

SNAP OUT OF IT!

"huh?" I say bewildered.

"Whatever you're thinking about snap out of it and pay attention.

Monique's severed head angles to a point where her mouth drops open revealing the two deteriorated eyeballs falling out her mouth and onto the rich red carpet. That's disgusting. Coco must've really fucked her up.

"Like I was saying. We all know the Katagami is the only weapon that used to be able to kill a God. Even though the magics inside the Katagami cannot be manipulated or not supposed to at least. The Witches have found a way to be able to use the powerful magics in it and channel it. Allowing their magic to kill us." She finally drops the severed head on the rich carpet as if it were trash.

We have to figure out what's going on, and defeat them. No way I seriously have been taking a nap while good men and women have been dying right under my nose,

"That doesn't explain why our immortality has been taken away!" She gives me a very motherful look.

"Look be careful with your words. Don't say our. You're Still immortal."

I raised my brows. "Ho-"

"Because your half angel."
