Chapter 5 - Trials Of An Author Chapter 5: Angel's an Angel

Location: Planet Earth.

Country of occurrence: USA, WASHINGTON DC.

DATE: MONDAY

Emmanuel, Angel and the Ravenger whose name was Samson had just alighted from their plane with Samson carrying the heaviest load. They boarded a taxi which dropped them at Angel's residence which was a duplex.

"This is your new home Samson but don't worry, you'll get use to it," Angel said and carried her luggage to her room. Samson smelt something and looked to his right to see a rat. He felt the urge to just shove it into his throat but paused as Emmanuel was looking at him.

"Is something wrong?" Emmanuel asked but he shakes his head sideways and Emmanuel left following after Angel.

"I think there's something wrong about that Ravenger," Emmanuel told Angel as she dropped her bags.

"We just have to monitor him and try to keep him in control because if the US government finds out we're harboring a half Ravenger, they'll hunt him down," Angel suggested and Emmanuel nodded.

"So do you have any hidden base or somewhere where we can train him there," Emmanuel asked as Angel thought for a while.

"Yep, he can train in mystic springs located in mystic city which is not far from here," Angel said and Emmanuel nodded and went back to the living room to see Samson with a tail sticking out of his mouth.

"What the hell is in your mouth?" Emmanuel shouted as Samson spit out the rat irritating Emmanuel the more.

"I'm sorry, I just felt hungry all of a sudden," Samson said making Emmanuel to gasp as he hadn't said anything since he woke up.

"You can talk," Emmanuel asked so surprised.

"Yep but I didn't have the energy to talk a while ago that's why I didn't say anything except my name," Samson said as Emmanuel nodded in admiration.

"Then you know you we're a Ravenger before right," Emmanuel asked and Samson nodded affirmatively.

"You're no longer a Ravenger but better, you're a half Ravenger, half human, giving you control over your Ravenger side. You'll start practicing on how to use your powers next week but for now, you need to rest," Emmanuel said and brought out a large chicken lap from the fridge making Samson drool. He leaped to the chicken but Emmanuel pushed it away causing him to crash on the wall.

"If you can defeat me, I'll give you the chicken," Emmanuel said more like teasing but Samson's canines had already elongated as his talons crept out of their place. He dashed to Emmanuel surprisingly slashing his arm with his paralyzing talons. Emmanuel immediately fell on the floor with blood gushing out of his arm as he couldn't move a nerve. Samson's green eyes started glowing as the sight of blood brought back his killer instinct. He was about to devour Emmanuel when Angel snapped his neck from behind sending him to comatose.

"Are you alright?" Angel asked but Emmanuel couldn't even move. She looked at the wound and quickly bandaged it with a piece of cloth to reduce the bleeding. She looked at Emmanuel whose skin had started turning pale. She tilted her head left and right to see if anyone was watching. Her skin began turning whiter as her eyes glowed white and her aura made some dried plants flourish again as her long red hair turned white. She placed her hand on Emmanuel's forehead transferring a little bit of her celestial energy into him causing the impure paralyzing venom to come out as a green gas through the wound.

"You okay?"Angel asked as Emmanuel managed to nod as he could now move his head. She punched his ankle twice causing adrenaline to kick in neutralizing the after effects of the venom. He jumped to his feet and hugged angel tightly.

"Thank you," Emmanuel said as she smiled and her celestial aura died down as her hair turned to its conventional red colour.

"What type of supernatural hybrid are you?" Emmanuel asked knowing that part of her was human.

"I'm half human......half celestial angel," Angel dropped the bombshell as Emmanuel screamed.

"What! I thought angels were myths," Emmanuel said surprised.

"Well, that's partially true. Celestial angels live in a universe called the celestial verse and only come here to fight dark entities, destroy potential threats or to deliver messages for other celestial entities," Angel explained.

"Where you born an Angel or became one?" Emmanuel inquired as Angel sighed.

"Both. My dad was an angel while my mom was a human so technically I've always had the celestial energy in me but it began to manifest 2yrs ago. My mum was cut in a cross fire between the angels and a dark celestial called the Destroyer. My dad saved her from her impending doom and later fell in love. This was against the rules set by the Supreme Emmanuel which was "a celestial being and a human should not mate". My dad did not listen and was later killed but not by the Supreme Emmanuel but by the destroyer as he saw a hybrid as a potential threat to his existence. My mum's memories were wiped out and she fled but unknown to her, she was pregnant and a baby angel is usually given birth to after a month. She used all her energy to give birth to me and as she couldn't remember anything, she named me, Angel," Angel narrated the origin of her powers as she began to sob remembering her father.

"It's ok Angel, if your dad was here, he would be proud of the girl you've become alright," Emmanuel consoled as she drifted into sleep n his arms.

"My girlfriend's an Angel. Awesome," he whispered as he kissed her forehead and turned to Samson who had started waking up.

"Um, what the f**k hap," he was saying but was cut short by Emmanuel who snapped his neck again.
