Hanging in the balance CHAPTER 22
When I get inside my apartment, I take Gabriel's leed because his prediction was 100% correct and I too need a cold shower. As soon as I finish my shower I look into the complementary wardrobe provided for what I will wear to this meeting Gabriel has asked us to attend at his tavern. For tonight I will wear blue ripped jeans, a high-waisted ofcause coupled with a cream knitted top that covers my bum, and under that, I will have a vest obviously and my Converse. But for now, I feel for a workout and I happened to have purchased those Sofia Vergara workout sets so, here we go. I opt to do a 20-minute Strong Nation workout that I found on youtube. It helped get my mind off my dream because I had to focus or I would have a big oopsie, halfway through the workout Gabriel burst through the door wide-eyed "Shit sorry Scarlette." I frown but continue my workout, "What's wrong?" I ask his hair still damp from his shower, it must have been a long one. "I heard you panting and cursing fuck

"Exactly" Gabriel states "So now that we have the politics out of the way how shall we proceed ladies and gentlemen?" Gabriel asks again. Lydia rushes toward Lana and gives her one hell of a slap, we can see her handprint on her face. Lana just laughs "Is that the best you got beautiful?" She's goading us, the more we torture her the more time she has to do whatever she is up to "Gabriel, she is stalling, could she be doing a spell or something?" Makrus burst out laughing "If that is her master plan she is in for a rude awakening." I frown at him "She has probably been trying for hours. The cuffs are magic dampening and the chair makes her invisible so no tracking spell in heaven, hell, or on earth would find her." Lana lets out a shriek that could make any mortal go deaf. "Soundproof walls," Jackson says to her when she is done and wiggles his finger on his ear. "You said you did this for me?" Gabriel looks at Lana, "Why?" Markus asks "Because he is mine and I will do whatever I ha

At the mention of Azazel's name Jedreel is in the room in a flash, "Calm down Jedreel, he is not in the room relax." Jedreel looks at the room and notices that we are not alone, he particularly zooms in on Lydia "You are well Lydia?" she nods at him shyly, "Yes thank you very much Jed...reel?" He nods yes "Sometimes holiness or that fool" he points to Markus "Call me Jed for short" She nods shyly once again. "Holiness, I must say that your caller from the other dimension is very persistent." Rolling my eyes "Of cause he is. I will get to him when I get to him. He should know where I am as this was their idea initially." I say and Jed flashes out of the room "He's so hot" Lydia says then realized it was said out loud. "This matter is resolved and I am no longer needed correct?" Everyone nods their heads "Whoever placed bets it's time to cash in." And just like that, I am in the driver's seat again. "What was that all about?" Everyone looks at me confused. "I have seen banter between

Gabriel and I got up rather early, I only got 6 hours of sleep in, it took me some time to fall asleep with Gabriel's physique running through my mind on repeat. I think he heard me moving around in my bedroom because shortly after the Keurig went on and the smell of espresso filled the house. When I get out of the bathroom, I see Gabriel once again Mastering my kitchen whipping up a storm so we can have breakfast, since we had leftovers last time I have no doubt this feast will hold us over until there is not even a crumb left. I look further into the kitchen to see that I now have a filter coffee machine, so whoever doesn't want "Fancy" coffee can have filter coffee. "What happened to eat frozen food?" I asked Gabriel who shakes his head continuing to scramble eggs. "That is no way to get your head in the game Scarlette, we would all be asleep minutes after eating that nonsense." I go for the filter coffee and pour myself a mug since it's the only coffee that doesn't require me to

"So I did some asking around while you ladies were packing up and I found that the mountain is called Mount Hermon to the angels and humans, but amongst the night walkers the place is referred to as the gathering of demons of old." If that did not send chills down my spine, then I have no idea what else will. I nod my head as I throw away my backpack with a change of clothing or two and toiletries and obviously my purse. At that moment, Lydia reenters my apartment with her own backpack. I told her I would pay for whatever she needed after she refused Gabriel, fearing he would take it out of her paycheck. Even after he swore he wouldn't do that, she still refused. She promised to pay me back every penny. She is such a modern, independent woman! "I heard that we are going to Mount Hermon Boss. Is it within driving distance?" Lydia asked, just as Jackson himself walked into my apartment with a backpack of his own and no Sasha, Markus was standing there, which confused me. Jed appeared

"You must be Eve" I stated, holding out my hand for her to shake, but instead she threw herself into my arms, embracing me in a hug which I very much welcomed, and hugged her back. "Eve! Do not forget yourself, girl!" Jed reprimands, to which she jumps out of my hold and nods her head in shame, apologizing to both Jed and me "No need to apologize las, Jed is just being a hard arse, aren't you Jed? Show the lady some kindness, won't you?" He nods his head in submission to me, "Right, Eve, Did Jedreel explain to you why you are here? And your new duty to humanity?" She nods her head once again, "Okay, you have the right to decline the position, I would understand if you had your own life to life." She shakes her head no. "It would be my honor Holiness, since Cain killed Able for rapping and killing his wife and then proceeded to do the same to Adam for covering up the lie to stay in favor of the creator, son only living son has disowned me, I have been walking this earth by myself for

We got back to our rented AirBnB and found the angel Seraphiel was already in our house, which was weird. Why did he follow us here? And if he could, who else knew we were here? Jed flashes in, he must have sensed my hesitation to move further. "Brother, what are you doing here? Her Holiness has concluded her business with you at your palace." He says to Seraphiel "I come with news to Her Holiness, I will be brief." He states. I nodded my head to allow Jedreel to give him some space. Everyone else fills into the front door Eve included. I will not subject her to witnessing what it would take for her to replace those pitiful excuses for human beings. "There is word in the Silver City that the Creator is planning on coming to Earth, but nobody knows why or when." I nodded my head in understanding while Jed began to pace "Do not tell anyone you have met with her Holiness and do not tell anyone she is here now. Not unless they ask you specifically about her whereabouts or if you have la
Hanging in the balance CHAPTER 29
We landed in Syria and luckily we had a shuttle waiting for us, which drove us up to the mountains. As tired as we were, we hiked from the nearest point the cab could go. Thank fuck we all bought snacks and drinkables at the airport and stuffed our bags because, after an hour of hiking, I was starving. We didn't stop though, as we all agreed it would make us lazy and our legs already felt like jelly. A torturous two-and-a-half hours later, we reached the top of Mount Hermon. I assume nobody has ever made it this far to the top because we are met with stares from the villagers, all dressed rather fashionably, which shocks me because I did not think any of them ever left the top of the mountain. I saw a caramel-colored man. He's very big! He has the potential to be Gabriel and Jackson stacked on top of each other. That would be his height, like 12 f 2 if not taller. "I am Anak Chief of this tribe, what brings you here? You do not smell of humans, but I have never scented your kind bef
