Josh was seated on a stool in the kitchen and Garin stood in front of him, about to explain everything. The repercussions for the human knowing the truth about what was happening would be severe and Garin knew that but he didn’t care. He was going to expose the truth today and nothing was going to stop him.“Tell me what’s going on,” Josh demanded.“My name is Garin and I’m a demon…or at least, I used to be. Technically, I still am because I served my sentence and after death, my powers were restored but rendered useless when I got locked up in Harlem,” Garin said.“What are you talking about? What does any of that mean?” Josh asked.“Sorry, I forgot you don’t know anything at all. Let me start from the beginning,” Garin said.Before he could continue, he felt the aura in the room change which meant someone celestial was here or was about to show up. Josh could feel it too and the two of them looked around and waited anxiously for whoever was there to show their face.“You can feel it
862 AD . . . Just about a year after Hannah and Garin had survived the pirates that invaded their beautiful and peaceful island home, everything had gone back to the way it used to be and the couple had managed to put the awful ordeal behind them and continue with their lives. They kept the pirate ship but made some significant changes to it like cleaning off the skull painting that was all over it, redecorating the deck and adding new sets of furniture that they made from scratch. They used the ship as their new fishing boat because it could take them deeper into the ocean for bigger catches. They also always talked about travelling across the ocean but they never did it because they were still sure that the island was where they needed to be if they were to live a life free from trials and trouble. . . . “Why Lilies? They’re not as beautiful as violets, you know?” Garin asked his wife. “I just think lilies smell better and are more colourful,” Hannah replied. “No, they d
TWO HOURS EARLIER… OUTSIDE ISABELLE’S APARTMENT… . . . “Your dirty tactics won’t work on me, Gentel,” Cher said as she chased her around the walls of the building.Cher pounced on Gentel, tackled her to the floor and held her down. “Get off me,” The demon screamed and violently released her wings which blasted Cher off of her. The angel was quickly back on her feet and so was Gentel. The demon manifested an axe in her hand and threw it at Cher who was able to side-step the weapon, catch it in mid-air and throw it back at her. Just as it was about to hit Gentel, she put her hand out and the axe became dust. “I see you haven’t lost your touch,” Gentel admitted. “You have,” Cher replied, “I will advise you to end it here before this gets any more out of control. After I get Hannah out of the vessel, you can come back and try to break the chain but as for now, stand down or I will make you,” “That has always been the problem with angels. They always think that a demon is no mat
The wedding day was now here and Isabelle felt just as opposed to going to it today as she did yesterday and the day before that and all the days before that. What made it even more unbearable was the fact that she had to go with Josh and keep up the ruse that they were still together in public.Isabelle didn’t feel the urge to get out of bed. She wanted the Earth to open up and suck her into it for at least the entirety of today just so she wouldn’t have to go but unfortunately for her, she wasn’t an angel that could just make whatever she wanted to happen.“Wake up, Isabella. If you don’t start getting ready soon, we’re going to get there late,” Mrs Rita shouted into the room as she walked by Isabelle’s door.“It’s a wedding, mom. We don’t need to be the first ones there,” She shouted back.“For crying out loud, Gwen, can you please help me get her out of bed and ready to go,” Her mom said to her niece.“Sure, Aunty.”Gwen went into Isabelle’s room and pulled her sheets off her body
Isabelle walked out of the ladies’ room, shaken and terrified about what had just happened to her. She went to her table and immediately Josh saw her, he knew something was wrong.“I want to leave,” Isabelle told him.“What? Why?” Josh asked her.“I need to leave now, Josh. Don’t ask me why. Just…just get me out of here,”“But your mother will…” Josh wanted to protest but he could see that Isabelle was very upset and she was also shaking so he decided to do what she was asking.“Okay, we can go,” He told her.He got up from his seat and put his coat around her because of how much she was shaking. He held her hand and they both walked toward the exit but Josh led her to her mother’s table so he could tell her that they were leaving.“Rita, Isabelle and I have to leave,” He said.“What? Why?” Rita wanted to understand.“I’m all of a sudden not feeling good and she wants to drive me home and make sure I’m alright. I’m really sorry we can’t stay till the end,” Josh apologized.“That’s oka
“Ok, Isabelle. This is what we’re going to do. I’m going to need you to lay back on the couch and look up, alright?” Doctor Felicia Greene instructed.Isabelle did as the doctor had asked. She lay on the couch and faced up and as much as she tried to hide her nervousness from the doctor, she couldn’t.“It’s going to be alright, Isabelle. I’ve done this a hundred times before so you don’t have to worry,” She assured her.“Ok, doc,” Isabelle said.But she did worry because she knew how serious this was and was afraid that she could lose herself and have this other part of her completely take over. It wouldn’t exactly be great for her life or her career if she wasn’t herself anymore.And her mother! How would she feel if anything happened to her only child? She was already worried that Isabelle left the house this morning without telling her where she was going, she was worried that Isabelle wasn’t looking too healthy and was also worried about so many other things and adding this to the
Isabelle found herself in the nexus of her mind but she had no idea that that was where she was because rather than looking like an endless void or a different dimension, she was inside a small cottage and the house felt like home to her although she had never been in this house in her entire life. “Isabelle? Isabelle, can you hear me?” Dr Felicia asked.“Yes, I can,” Isabelle answered as she walked around inside the cottage. “Where are you right now?” The doctor asked. “I’m in a wooden house but I don’t know whose house this is,” She answered. “Okay, now listen to me. I want you to walk around the house until you find the front door. When you do, I want you to step out of it and go outside. Do you understand?” She asked. “Yes, I understand,” Isabelle answered and began looking for the door. Her mind was in the house but her physical body was still in Doctor Felicia’s office, lying on her couch. She was fully hypnotized and was on a journey of self-discovery even though it didn’
862 A.D . . . The heat from the scorching sun burned the surface of the ocean’s waters, sending heat from every direction and it sizzled the skin of both Hannah and Garin as their ship floated across the still water in the middle of the ocean. It had been an entire week since they set sail off the Island and in all that time, they were yet to find refuge or a new place to settle. It was almost like all the land in the world didn’t exist anymore as all they could see on the horizon was an endless body of water. The fact that they were still alive was a miracle because within the one week since they got on the ocean, they were bombarded by burning heat, freezing cold and powerful storms that threatened to end their lives. Their food and resources ran out quick and they had to hunt for fish in the ocean to stay fed. Their resilience and will to live made it possible for them to survive but they wouldn’t last out here forever and desperately needed a way to get out of their predicam
