Morning arrived and Isabelle and Josh woke up to the sound of the birds chirping and the shine of the sun on their faces. Neither of them understood why but the sleep they had the previous night was perhaps the best they’d had in a long time.Isabelle and Josh checked the cameras they placed on their nightstands before they slept and were happy yet disappointed that nothing happened with them during the night. They woke up where they went to sleep, they didn’t have any late-night blackouts or lose any time and although it wasn’t a guarantee, the two of them hoped that whatever was happening to them was now over....Josh hadn’t planned on going to work today but because he felt really good and refreshed, he decided to make an appearance in his company. He discerned that since he didn’t have an episode, the rest treatment must have worked so the only logical next step would be to resume his normal life and activities which included going to work.He got ready and drove to work withou
"Go on, Fawn. Do it. Send me back to Harlem. That's what he sent you to do so do it," Hannah shouted again."You had your time with him. You've spent your original life and multiple others with him so will you stop being selfish for once and realize the necessity for ending this love chain?" Fawn said to her sister, trying to justify what she was about to do."I indeed lived my life with Garin but it was never whole because neither God nor Lucifer would leave in peace. They always stood in the way of our happiness, always brought us bad luck and misfortune, and always found a way to take our happiness and squeeze the life out of it."My life with Garin wasn't perfect because of the both of them and now, they want to end my connection to him forever. I'm an eternal being, Fawn. My soul will live forever but it would be a worthless existence without Garin. If the angels and demons in Harlem weren't forced to be apart from each other, I would gladly go back and spent the rest of eternity
Isabelle and her mom got to her apartment and she unlocked the door and took some of the luggage inside. Gwen was right behind them with some bags as well and brought those inside too.“We had the guest bedroom all nice and ready for you, mom. It’s all set and I’m sure you’ll love it,” Isabelle said.Her mom looked around, surveying the apartment but she didn’t seem all that impressed by it although it was a very nice apartment which was a result of her daughter’s professional success. “Before we get you settled in, how about a quick tour of the house, aunty?” Gwen asked.“Sure, my dear,” Mrs Rita said.The girls showed her the four bedrooms, the three bathrooms, the kitchen, the storage room, and the living room. “So, what do you think?” Isabelle asked her mother, hoping for a positive remark.“It’s nice but it’s not a family home. I mean, you couldn’t raise children in an apartment but I’m sure Josh’s house is nicer than this and as soon as you two get married, you’ll move in with
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
