Forsaken

Salem Ma. 1690Daniel sat in the front row of the church next to his brother Wyatt, who was fidgeting in his seat. Daniel was fully engrossed in what Preacher Garland was saying “No man should lay with a woman without her being his wife. Doing so could result in death. One must not find joy in fulfilling one's marital duties for it is sinful in nature.” He said. Daniel was hanging on every word. The thoughts that seemed to be cemented in his head were that of a sinful nature, and if he listened close enough, the things preacher Garland said would help him combat those thoughts. Then she walked in, the most beautiful woman in the village. Louise. Her hair was the color of strawberries, and her eyes were the most alluring green. When Daniel saw her, he lost track of what the preacher was saying. It was as if he could see his entire future in her eyes. She smiled when she looked at him. Daniel tucked his head and looked at Wyatt out of the corner of his eyes. He was staring at Louise,

Boston Mass. 2019“Abigail Davidson” Ornias said, he had been talking the entire trip but Daniel was not paying attention, his mind was elsewhere. “That’s our target. She is single, 37 lives alone, had a set of twins at 14, the result of rape. Oh, this is interesting,” he said burying his face in the mini version of the Book of the Damned. “You know her daughter, you have scene her in passing Danny”“Ornias, how many times do I have to tell you my name is Daniel. Not Dan, Danny, or any other variation,” Daniel said, irritated! “And how could I know her daughter? I'm 347 years old.”“She is an Angel of the Damned,Lucy. Apparently Abigail abandoned the twins when they were born and they got shuffled around the foster system, until they ended up in the wrong one.” (Lukas was shot at 13, Lucy took her own life shortly after that.) I can only assume that Lukas went to heaven, I have never seen him before.” Ornais finished showing a picture of the twins when they were still alive.

Boston Mass. 2019Abigail woke up in a cold sweat. She had yet another nightmare. They were always the same. Flashbacks of her life before she got clean. She looked over at the digital clock on her bedside table. Three thirty on the dot, just like every night had been for months. It was too early to start the day, but she was too wired to go back to sleep. On top of that she knew that Azria was waiting for her the minute she closed her eyes, and that life was a distant memory she didn't care to remember. Abigail got out of bed anyway. Determined to look over the contract for the buyout to see if there was any wiggle room for her current patients. Her clinic was damn near bankrupt and although she had enough donations for the things she needed, she was still somehow barely keeping the lights on. With the way the contract read, her current patients were going to have to find another place to seek treatment as they were not able to pay the hefty cost. She walked out of her bedroom an

“Get ready.” Ornais said as he passed through the door to Daniel's room. “Why are we going?” Daniel asked. “Greed has asked you to sit in on the meeting he’s having with Abigail this afternoon.” “Why?” Daniel was skeptical about the request. “Because, he thinks it would be beneficial to both parties if you could put your differences aside to complete this particular assignment.” Ornias answered, trying to mimic Greed’s voice. “Nice impression.” Daniel chuckled. “You have to wear a suit. lIke a really nice one.” Ornais was eyeing Daniel in his outfit. Black jeans, black t-shirt, and even in ninety degree weather and black zip-up hoodie. “What’s wrong with my outfit?” Daniel asked, pretending to be offended. “Everything.” “What do you mean everything?” "Just what I said. Now come on, we have to go shopping for some appropriate business attire." Ornais said, swifty walking out of Daniel's room. Daniel stood up and stretched, his wings popping out of his back. They unfolded fully

After Lust tried and failed to get into Daniel’s pants she made her way back to the table. Daniel had given up on asking them about the prophecy, Lust had quite effectively pushed him over the edge. His ability to be in the same room with them was gone and he knew that if he didn’t leave then they all would end up back in hell. The Seven crying to their mother about how mean the AOD was and Daniel in chains watching as Lucifer tortured Elizabeth. So with that in mind, Daniel quickly got up and made his exit. It was late, the sun had already gone down and the stars were making their appearance in the sky. It was a full moon tonight, Daniel found himself staring at it, it was a full moon the night that Lust cursed him the first time. The thought only angered him more. He pulled out the pocket list of the damned to check if Abigail's name had been removed yet. But it was still there, in bright red letters. Why? Daniel was under the impression that the name was already removed. Surely t
