Chapter 14 - Destiny

I went back home after seeing Gabriela, Hope and Jane off. Daniel escorted me home.

"Don't think too much about him, okay?" He told me before heading off at that moment Azrael teleported into the room, he looked like he attended a meeting that went horrible.

"How did it go?" I asked him while he sat on my bed. He ignored me and just kept muttering something to himself. After an hour of total silence, he spoke:

"Seven traitors."

"Pardon?" I asked looking at him confused.

"At the meeting, God said that out of the fourteen.Seven will be led astray by Lucifer." He replied, I looked at him frozen.

"Which are?" I asked again.

"He didn't tell us, He said it was destiny." Azrael replied. Destiny?

"Destiny exists?" I asked. He looked at me intently.

"Your life was set before the foundation of the earth was even made." He said dead serious.

"So can destiny be changed?" I asked again.

"Yes. If you have the will power you can change destiny." He replied.

"Have people done that?" I asked again.

"Elisha." He replied, I just sat by him and started to think about who were the traitors and why on earth would they betray us?. Suddenly I heard a yawn and I felt a head hit my head lightly, Azrael fell asleep on my head. I found myself smiling.

MEANWHILE:

A black haired girl with purple eyes dressed in gothic clothes sat on her bed while staring at the wall with tears in her eyes. Her little sister just recently died from internal bleeding and she wondered why everything is just going wrong. Her parents were Satanists and when she rejected their morals they said she would regret it.

"Where's Raziel?" The girl thought to herself. When the angel Raziel came and saved her from a near death experience, she made it her sole purpose to help defeat Lucifer. Then why, why is her world crashing down. Raziel walked in, his long brown hair tied in a ponytail. Red t-shirt and an orange jacket with matching shorts.

"Michelle, what's wrong?" Raziel asked her while she covering her face to hide her tears, Raziel lifted her head, his black eyes filled with concern.

"She died." Michelle said through sobs. Raziel patted her head.

"Does God hate me?" She asked him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh no, He doesn't hate you. Listen I don't know what His plans are but He doesn't hate you." Raziel replied. Michelle asked him to excuse her and she headed outside to go for a walk.

"You worthless scum, nothing will go your way." Her mother's wicked voice echoed in her head, was she right? Rachel is dead.

"I wish we aborted you. Waste of time and energy." Her father told her when she denounced Satan.

"If God really loves you, I don't think little Rachel would be dead." A male voice said. Michelle turned frightened.

"Who's there?!" She asked no one answered.

"Jugdes 7:18. For the Lord and Gideon." Michelle said while two twins blades appeared in her arms. Suddenly Belphagor appeared, Michelle froze.

"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you~" Belphagor said, Michelle looked at him.

"You're Belphagor.... The last prince of hell." She said.

"Awwww, Razi talks about me, I'm flattered." Belphagor said, Michelle swung her blades at him, he dogded as if it was nothing it only missed by an inch. She swung again it still missed after some few more missed swinging at him, Belphagor became bored.

"Ok, this is now boring." He said while suddenly throwing a pair of purple glowing handcuffs at Michelle, it locked itself on her and he started to make her float in the air.

"You put your faith in God and look where it has got you." Belphagor said while looking at her with sudden interest as if, she could be a valuable asset. Just make her think she needs you.

"God doesn't love you, I of all people should know that. But...." He said then paused and looked at Michelle with some sort of love in his eyes. She could see that and started to feel nervous around him. He gave her a warm smile and it sent butterflies into her stomach.

"I can love you." He said making her blush hard. He then released her from the handcuffs and caught her in his arms. She didn't want to let go ever, it was as if someone loved her for once. Belphagor drew a circle in the air and a black portal appeared.

"Will you come with me? And see the light?" He asked her. She buried her face was n his chest before answering.

"Yes, I'll come with you." She replied and he carried her into the darkness. Where light is only an illusion.
