“What do you need me to do for you?” Selene asked Jennifer.Selene was a woman who looked like she was in her late fifties. She was African-American and had a luscious head of grey dreadlocks. She was wearing a dress made of African-inspired prints and had a head tie on. She also had a scar on her left eye and just four fingers on her right hand. Overall, she was a strange-looking lady and anyone would be weary of her and her voodoo but not Jennifer.Jennifer liked the woman’s looks because it made her feel convinced that she was a legit shaman and would be able to help her accomplish her goal to get Josh for herself.“I want to speak to someone and I need your help to summon them,” Jennifer said to the shaman.“Who do you wish to speak to? A dead relative, a ghost from a past life, a…”“A demon,” Jennifer cut in, “I want you to help summon a demon,” She said again.The shaman looked at her with shock and awe in her one good eye. This was a strange request, the strangest she had ever
Back at Josh's home, Hannah and Garin were getting ready to leave. She was feeling a lot better now and her wounds were healed, not completely but good enough to get back out there.The lovers stood in the middle of the living room, tightly holding on to each other as they prepared to go. Garin held Hannah in his hands and kissed her forehead while whispering a few things to her. They were about to venture out and face the might of the angels and even if they managed to win that battle, they knew another one would be waiting for them in the form of Gentel and Sader.Realistically, they didn't stand a chance and they both knew it but, they weren't going to give up. They had made it through so much worse to surrender now and if they were to die, they would go down fighting."Are you both going to be okay?" Isabelle asked them.Hannah moved away from Garin's arms and walked over to the human. She took Isabelle's hands in hers and smiled at her."I'm not going to lie to you, Isabelle. The
Jennifer didn't have a plan for doing what she had told the demon she would do. She had no idea how to deliver on her promise so she had to speak to Gentel. She needed some help, some way to be able to find the celestials so she had to call her.She was in her small apartment and was pacing back and forth in her living room. Gentel had told her to light a candle and call her name three times to summon her and Jennifer had done the first. Now, she had to do the second but she was nervous."I really hope this demon doesn't kill me out of anger," Jennifer said to herself."Gentel""Gentel""Gentel"Jennifer called her name and waited for her to appear. A minute passed and then another, and then another and Jennifer became tired of waiting for her. She didn't understand why the demon hadn't come yet and she felt that something was wrong.She sat down in the middle of her parlour and waited for hours until she fell asleep. Jennifer finally opened her eyes and when she looked around her, it
866 A.D..Amania was in a period of celebration that was slowly becoming a period of loss and confusion. In just three days, a woman was found dead in the ocean and now, a man was missing and was presumed to also be dead. The Elders were suspecting that perhaps they should suspend the festival to celebrate their victory over the hurricane a year ago. They suspected that the gods were trying to warn them not to have the festival because as it seemed, more bad times were dawning upon them with these two similar calamitous incidents.A few citizens of Amania wanted the festival to be postponed while some others, Hannah included, wanted the festivities to be carried out just as scheduled. Hannah led the few people to the tent of the Elders to convince them that it was important for the community to have this moment to celebrate their victories and to band together in unity despite their recent problems....“Hannah, we know you and the rest of the people mean well but it is our duty
Isabelle had a really good meeting with her colleagues. She was eased back into the work setting and was briefed on the current projects that they were working on. It seemed that after the fundraiser was held, a couple of wealthy philanthropists had set their eyes on Clinton Corp and were looking to do business with them which meant a consultant would be needed at this pleasant time that the company was facing.It was impressive how easily Isabelle was able to understand the situation and was ready to get to work. Gerald ended the meeting and everyone left to get to work but Isabelle stayed back to speak to him for a while."Did you manage to get all of that?" Gerald asked her while she was packing up her gadgets and notes."Yes, I did. It's kind of crazy how many new partners are flooding in, isn't it?" She asked him."That's how it works, Isabelle. Did you think the fundraiser was just that? It was also a means to show the business world what the company has to over, a hook that was
Jennifer had driven away from Isabelle's car after she parked on the side of the road just as she was about to run her rented car into Isabelle's. She didn't understand why Isabelle stopped but it seemed like she was suspicious of the car behind her and Jennifer didn't understand why she would be.Now, she was parked in the dark bushes right off the road as she waited for Isabelle to drive by so she could tail her again."Where is this bitch? She's not going to get away from me this time and not even her demon friends are going to save her from me. Not even God himself," Jennifer said while waiting.She wasn't discouraged by Isabelle's possible suspicion. She was still very eager to carry out her plan tonight and nothing was going to stop her.Jennifer opened the closed compartment near the gear of the car and eyed the loaded gun that was inside of it; a gun whose bullets were meant for Isabelle. Just then, Isabelle's car sped by and just as it did, Jennifer shut the compartment and
Norae landed back on the ground as well and transformed the bow in her hand back into a spear. She came up from the left-hand side while Fawn was at the right of Sader, Hannah and Garin. The angel was switching her gaze to both of them and she knew that without Sader’s and Garin’s powers, she wouldn’t be able to handle them on her own.There’s nowhere left to run, Hannah. Your demon pals are powerless and you can’t fight us both. Just give up now and let us end this once and for all,” Fawn beckoned her.“Our powers won’t be back for a few more minutes. What are we going to do?” Garin whispered to Hannah.Fawn and Norae moved even closer and Hannah strengthened her defensive stand to make sure they don’t come any further.“I’ve had enough of this, Hannah,” Fawn said and her sword shone brighter, “I want to end this and return home. I’m tired,” “So am I, sister. So am I,” Hannah replied.She looked down at the ground where Kari was lying before but he wasn’t there anymore. He had slipp
866 AD"It seems you've made a mistake, Shade. Hannah can't be pregnant. It's impossible," Garin told the healer."What do you mean it's impossible?" Shade asked.Garin moved closer to her and lowered his voice as he told her about their physical limitations."Hannah is barren and so am I. We can't have a child, together or with other people. You have to have made a mistake," Garin said."There is no mistake, Garin. Whether or not you and Hannah can have children isn't important. The fact is she's pregnant with a child," Shade said and tapped his shoulder, "You're going to be a father, Garin. I'll give you some time alone with your wife."Shade walked out of the hut and left Garin alone with Hannah in the other room. He could barely lift his feet to go over to her because he wasn't sure what he would even say to her. This wasn't something that they ever bothered to plan for because they knew it was never going to happen.Garin finally summoned the courage to walk into the other room.
