āDid he get in touch with you after the party?ā Rain asked Urie almost whispering as they both walk to the parking lot. Their manager weāre both having a talk from afar. And their p.aās werenāt that far either.The two continued their chat in Urie's car.Both thought that they were the only ones in it. As they sat comfortably.Urie shook his head lightly as a silent reply to Rain's question.āI canāt believe heāll play you like that. I really thought heād be a perfect boyfriend material for you.ā***Lucas was holding a laugh while sitting in the driverās seat. Axel only smiled upon hearing Rainās annotation.āWho says Iām not?āUrie and Rain almost jumped out of their seats. Upon hearing Axel speak on the passenger seat next to the driver.Rain unconsciously held Urieās hand as they were both sitting in the back seat. His lips molded a knowing smile while looking at Urie's shocked expression.The latter seemed almost as if he was going to faint.āWould it be rude, if I invite you to
āWhat happened?ā Azalel closed the door from inside the room. Where they saw Rain running away. Leaving the two out. As Urie calms his friend down from behind the locked door.āDemons tried to attack us while our guard was down. At least two of the chefs are dead because of the possession. And Rain saw them all.ā Lucas tried explaining. āSeems like two of the chefs that came with them are actually demons.āāWhy didnāt we sense them earlier?āāYour father must have something to do with it.ā he had just noticed the wound on Lucas's arm. Blood flowed non-stop from where he is holding it.āHow can you be so careless?āāI know. I didnāt have the time to protect myself. Or your angel's friend would have been a fatality.āāLetās stop the chat for now. Time to end this nonsense, before Muriel gets a grasp of whatās happening here.ā Azalel walked up to where the possessed body stood.āSon of the devil king, ā it spoke in a language only their kind would understand.āHow dare you address me so
Azalel was already biting hard on his tongue. Blood flows freely on one side of his lips. But he dared not say a word. He only looked at Murielās mortal body lying unconscious on the ground.āOther than that,āāYou mean thereās more?ā Lucas interrupted once more.āYes, and I wonāt finish unless you stop interrupting me.ā the angel smiled at Lucas trying to gain composure.āAs Iāve said, besides messing with Murielās feelings. It is forbidden that you disclose any information about his past. Whether him being an archangel. Or you guys being demons, even the ones that hunted him. Most especially, about your father Lucifer.āāIf I succeed in doing all of those things. Will you guarantee his safety even if Iām not around anymore to protect him?āāWhat exactly does that mean?ā Lucas asked. From which he ignored once again.āYou have my word. And Godās blessing as well.ā angel Gabriel was about to leave. But he turned his back again as he remembered something.āOh, I forgot to tell you,āLu
Urie and Rain got back to work the next day as nothing happened.When Urie woke up, Axel was already nowhere to be found. Lucas said that he had a business to attend to. And that the two of them had an upset stomach. That caused them to faint.Axel had already fired the chefs as Lucas told them. And had them delivered to their own homes afterward.Even after that, Axel had not any contact with him.But what about the kiss?Though it happened only once. It should have some meaning to it, right?āāA penny for your thoughts?ā Adam stood in front of him. Holding a cup of hot coffee in one hand. And a slice of chocolate cake on the other.Itās no secret that he is a sucker for both. Adam handed both to him.āI figured you havenāt had your breakfast like every other day.āāThank you.ā he smiled at his thoughtfulness.Rain was busy acting on one of his scenes elsewhere. That Urie didnāt have to feel guilty about accepting Adam's good heart.āI heard you disappeared with Rain the other day. I
In Hellā¦Lucifer rejoiced at the scene of suffering surrounding him. Souls were ripped apart, burnt, and tortured. And the king of darkness only laughed. And sometimes yawn when he is not amused.A demon came rushing to him bearing news. That only reached the Devil's ear.The monster clenched his fist tightly and banged it on the handrest of its throne.āWhere is my son now?āāHe is at the holy grounds my lord.ā his minion answered almost twisting its own body in fear.āBring him back to me now. But donāt alarm the heavens. Iāll think of what to do with him later.āLucifer drew a ball of fire in one of his hands. And threw it on the tortured soul in front. That even his descendant was burnt to ashes. But he didnāt care the least. For him, it was just a worthless follower. A soul that was once human and had committed sins that is beyond forgiveness. It became a demon of its own accord.***Azalel once again slipped his way to the holy ground without being noticed. Eager as he was to se
Azalel was held in a dark cold place. He was not even allowed to take a step out. As though he could, he can barely move a finger even if he tries.āMaster,ā he heard Lucasās voice.āWhere are you?āāIām almost there. I shall get you out as soon as I can.āāNo, donāt,ā they spoke through telepathic means. āI will find a way to get myself out. As for you, find a way to warn the angels of my fatherās plan.āāAre you planning to rebel against your father?āāNo. I want to get to him first. And kill him. So that, Murielās safety will be guaranteed.āāI shall do as you say. Iāll come back after relaying your message. Be strong and wait for me to come back.āHe let out an amused laugh.āAre you worried about me, Lucas?āāIād rather serve a spoiled prince like you than your father. So, do hang in there until I came back.āāRoger that, my friend.ā he didnāt hear Lucas make a reply. But he was sure did not expect to hear that word from the prince of darkness himself.***The war of heavens brok
At present times.Axel woke up from a dream that seemed like an eternal nightmare for him.Having lost Muriel was his greatest torment then. And his greatest fear now.Why is loving this angel so hard to do anyway?Even after so many decades. Their star-cross distance hasn't shortened a bit.All because he was the son of the devil."Is it that time again?" Lucas was driving the car. Where he slept the whole time.Axel replied with a shrug."You can't change what happened in the past. But you can do better this time. I will help you with everything."He smiled at Lucas's words.Even if they don't say it. Their brotherhood can surpass their qualities as demons. Loyalty was never a question.""I'll protect you and your angel the best way I can. That's the only way I know how to repay your kindness.""Tell me, since when have I been kind to anyone?" Axel tried humoring his friend."You may not notice. But you have always been kind. It is your father who brings out the dark side in you. An
"Why did you even come back?" Orith lashed at Urie as they walk out of the shop."What do you think you're doing? Why are you being like this?"Axel just stood a few feet away from them. Just so they can have their privacy.Urie still has some questions as to how Axel found where he is."What? You care about us now?""What are you talking about? I always care about our family. It's just that-""You left me there!" Orith shouted. "I begged you not to go. But you ignored me. You just thought of yourself. And left me there to accept everyone's judgment. I was the one carrying all the insults they were throwing at you. Do you know what that feels like?"Urie tried to console his brother. But deep inside him, he was the one hurting the most. Since no one in his family wants to accept him for who he is."Just go. Live your life as you want. And don't come looking for us. We're doing okay without you." Orith said. And turned to walk away from him. Just like his other family member. They didn
She stood looking at George. While the latter was busy preparing their breakfast.āI need to tell you something.āGeorge saw how serious she was. And was ready to listen.āGo on.āāIām not what you think I am. At least, not what you would normally think of me.āāYouāre not breaking up with me, are you?āāNo. Not that I would want to. Not unless you decide it after hearing what I have to say.āāWhich is?āāIām not a mortal. But a demon. And a queen at that.ā she made every word as clear as it could get. So that George could easily grasp the idea.The latter let out a relieved sigh.āI thought you were actually breaking up with me.ā And continued to make sandwiches.āHey, did you just hear what I said?āāYes, that youāre not human but a devil. And a queen maybe?āāAnd?āāAnd what?ā George threw back the question.āYou donāt believe me, do you?āThe latter shrugged upon her frustrated reaction.āI already knew everything even before meeting you that day. But I must admit, it was scarier
Sarahās day of departure.Everyone was there except Orith. He seemed to be avoiding Sarah ever since he heard the news about her leaving.Although, it was brief. She had always liked how Orith was always there to make her feel better.Sheāll definitely miss his popping out of nowhere. Bringing him snacks and making her laugh all the time. With his silly jokes.Even until the call for departure was announced. No Orith was seen anywhere.She had to leave with her shoulders slouched. And the pain that she would never see Orith again for the next few years.He might have someone special the moment she gets back.That thought merely squeezed her heart. Her eyes started to tear up without her knowing.She was given a first-class seat. One of the perks of being Axel Cartiliers younger sister.Though none of that made her happy.A passenger next to her arrived from the toilet. It sat silent and began to sleep. She was still busy looking elsewhere when she turned her glance. Something seemed f
āIāve been accepted.ā Sarah happily told Axel and Lucas. Who she considered being his family and older brothers since. Urie was there as well, as the two almost never left each other's side.āThatās good news,ā Axel uttered. āBut you really donāt need to study far away from us. We can always get you a high position in the company once you graduate.āāAnd besides, the company will need someone to run it someday. If we ever decide to get married soon.ā Lucas added.Axel and Urie threw a suspicious look at Lucas.āI know, but wouldnāt it be better if I can achieve everything without you guys always backing me up?ā it sounded more like a pleading than a question asked.āFine. But promise that youād call us every time a problem arises, deal?ā said Axel.āDeal.ā Sarah went to hug his two demon brothers.As well as her sister-in-law. Urie.***āWhatās the problem?ā Axel noticed Urieās silence ever since they left the mansion. Theyāre on their way to the latterās house.āIām just worried abou
Eight months passed by so quickly. But for some, it was longer than a million years combined. The ones that longed for someone they can't be with anymore.Everyone noticed how sad Lucas was since that day Gabriel had to say goodbye."Would you want to hang out together?" Axel felt like he needed to cheer his brother. He had already asked Urie for a boy's night out with Adam and Orith."Shouldn't you be hanging out with your boyfriend?" Lucas had one eyebrow lifted. He knows what Axel is trying to do."How many times do I have to tell you guys, that I'm alright?" he had his voice heightened a bit. Just so the ones behind his office door could hear him clearly.He knew that everyone's worried about them lately. But what makes it worst is when they make it more obvious. By rubbing it in.Other than Lilibeth, who was always content having his son around. He was the only one without a partner. And in those times, he misses Gabriel's angry reaction each and every time."Just, let me be alon
Kristoff stood with a wide grin on his face.There was a terrified look on Muriel's face. As he stared at Axel who shielded him from the attack.He wanted to save Axel first. But the latter had the tables turned. And used its body to cover him."You sure know how to make someone's heart flutter."Kristoff said in a mocking voice.A flush of blood flowed through its mouth. As it held on to the sword that Archangel Michael had thrust on him."No wonder, Urie had chosen you over anyone."It continued to cough in a weakened manner."He deserves to be with someone who can protect him even with his life. "Axel and Muriel had their eyes fixed on each other. Remembering how it all came to be. And how it would all end.With Muriel back to his old duties as an archangel. And Axel is with the one he chooses to love. Which was Urie.Kristoff's body crashed down the floor lifeless. Everything else faded along with it.They then heard a cry of defeat coming from Lucifer. Who had all his follower's
With all the chaos going on. Lucifer and the other princes of hell except Azalel were at battle with the angels. While Orith used Asmonās powers to help Lilibeth and the others to stop the humans from destroying the earth.It was until the battle of heaven reached earth. That Asmon had to literally unseal himself to help stop the other fallen angels.It was a fight that marked the start of a new alliance.***āWhy do you love Azalel so much? When he canāt even tell the one he loves from before and now?ā Kristoff produced an image of Muriel and Axel from way back.If Urie had seen this, he might have fallen for Kristoffās trap. Muriel thought to himself.But for him, it was just a memory of a beautiful past he had shared with the young Azalel. The one he thought, would make a better ruler than Lucifer.āCanāt you see? He doesnāt really love you. It was the angel Muriel then, and even now.ā Kristoff tried swaying him. As he thought of him as Urie. āYouāre just a replacement for somethin
Urie found himself inside a huge palace room. No one was around except the eerie silence.He roamed every part to look for his family.Thatās when he ended up on the back balcony of the highest floor.She saw a very disturbing scene.An army of people stood in front of the palace grounds unmoving. They were all under the spell of hypnosis.In that group, Urie saw his parents and elder sister standing in the middle. There were about thousands of people there.āMom, Dad, Elly,ā he refrained himself from shouting.Who knows what these people will do if they get disturbed for some reason.āDid you like what Iāve prepared for our wedding?ā he jumped at the sound of Kristoffās voice from his back. āEveryoneās invited, except your friends and lover. I hope you donāt mind.ā it had that wicked grin on its handsome face.āYouāll have to kill me first before you can get me to marry you.āāOh no, I wouldnāt do to that to you.āKristoff took a few steps closer. āBut if you beg me. I might consider
Later on, Sarah and Orith joined them outside.Axelās eyes roamed around for Adam and Urie.āWhereās Urie?āāIām here.ā he turned around to find Urie smiling at him the way he used to.He went up to hug the latter. āIām glad youāre okay.āāIām fine. You donāt need to worry.āāWhereās Adam?ā he asked Rain as soon as he separated himself from Urie.āHeās still weak from the hypnosis. I left him resting upstairs.āāI see,āWhy does he feel like there is something off in that situation?āWe need to plan on how to stop the chaos outside. If these continue. Lucifer and the anti-christ will definitely get their way.āLucas interrupted his thinking.āWhy donāt you stay here for a while?ā he said turning his glance on Urie. āI donāt want you to end up the same way again.āāNo, I want to come.āUrie insisted. āI may be of help in stopping him. Iām the one he wants.āāThe more you need to stay here. Youāre not safe with him around.āāI want to be sure that my family is safe. Please, just let me co
āYou need to see this.ā Rain hurried to bring Urie in front of the tv screen.Right then, a live broadcast is being held. Itās an interview about a known veterinarian at a very young age. And has the looks that go head to head with the famous billionaire. Azalel Cartillier.āItās Kristoff,ā he uttered.They were having a discussion at his house along with everyone. But the main purpose of it was to talk about how to defeat the antichrist. And prevent the end times. As they say.āWhat is he planning to do now?ā it had its eyebrows drawn in one line.āI donāt really feel good about this.ā Rain uttered.The others were having a fine talk. All headed to the living room. Where the three of them were.āIs that-?ā Orith tried to say the name. But Sarah had already shushed him.They all came to listen to the interview. While trying to figure out. What the anti-christ is up to.āSay, Mr.North star, āKristoff has known the last name.ā do you have someone in your heart now? A lover perhaps?āKri
