Heaven and Hell, Anne Guest [most read book in the world .TXT] 📗

wanted a family of my own, but I live a warrior life and I would never want to risk my children’s lives. Heaven and hell would both have to give permission or they would end me, or I would have to go into hiding. They would try and take the child and do what they did with me and Luc and make them like us unchained slaves. I couldn’t do that to anyone especially someone of my own flesh and blood. I closed my eyes again and a silent tear of loss of a life I would never have ran down my cheek.
“Why do you cry” he asked.
“Why are you here?” ignoring his question to ask one of my own
“I don’t know” he answered.
“What do you want?” I sigh “and if you say I don’t know I swear to god and the devil I’ll kill you!”
“I’m sure you would try” he said looking at around the room.
“Well” I say as I stand.
He looks down at me, I feel the spark that consumes me every time he is close by, I step back causing him to frown but he remains still.
“Why are you against the cleansing?” he asks.
My ears couldn’t believe what I had heard “are you joking with me” I bellowed at him. “You are seriously asking me this”
“I am” he replies calmly.
“I think you should leave” I growled as I pushed him out towards the door “you should stay away from me” I added, we were both outside now as I continued to push him. He let me push him and now we both stood facing one another, he was still calm and I was radiating anger the most intense anger I have ever known my wings flared out without my consent due to my temper, His eyes briefly glance at them.
“You have no right to come here and kill us.” I growled “you and Eve have been gone for who knows who long and now you come because you don’t like what you see. Well fuck you” I roared. I was already feeling emotional about a life I couldn’t have and they were going to take the one I had got, I was furious.
Jonah didn’t move a muscle and continued to look at me “I very much like what I see” he told me as his eyes looked me up and down. I could feel his stare travel along my body and I trembled within with a little bit fear and a lot of lust.
“good for you” I fold my arms across my chest and bought my wings down and wrapped them around me to hide most my body as his look was becoming passion filled making me uncomfortable wanting to fidget under his scrutiny. He gave a small frown and his eyes returned to mine.
“We are not killing we are cleansing” he announced “just the lesser races” he added.
“Well that makes it ok then” sarcasm dripped from my mouth.
“Yes we wish to make this world what it is supposed to be” a puzzled look on his face as if was not understanding my anger, and maybe that was the whole point they just didn’t get it. I sighed deep from in my chest and released trying to calm down and let go of my anger.
“Look, I get you don’t understand what I’m trying to say. This world is full of good people and down right evil scum bags.” I unfurl my wings and step closer to him keeping eye contact to get my point across. “And that is across all races. Why should good people from the lesser races be punished for the rest of them. Why should the evil and cruel people of the saved races be spared and who are you to decide this when you been missing the last few millennium” I finish looking at him closely for his reaction.
“What are you trying to tell me?” he asked in an unemotional voice.
I swallow my frustration before answering “I am saying that perhaps this world and the races on this world have developed and evolved in the way they have for a reason” I step closer raising my lips to his ear knowing what I was going to say next was going to provoke him. “Or maybe they have evolved the way we have because you abandon them and failed us all, basically you fucked up pal.”
I automatically felt his whole body fill with tension and hastily step back out of arms reach. He remained silent and his eyes were fierce as he looked down at my retreating form, the ground beneath my feet began to shack making me stagger I open my wings to take flight when I felt vines erupted around me wrapping themselves around my legs holding me in place. I struggled in panic for a few moments until I realised that it was useless. I invoked my fire and aimed them round my feet, they burned only to be replaced quickly. I tried teleporting but they held me in place. I willed my sword to my hand and hacked at the vines and they just grew back, I released a scream of frustration and fear. I felt my body swell with warmth that grew hotter and hotter until I was ready to explode which I did or should I say it felt like I had exploded. My body was stretched out flaring out my limbs and wings I was also surrounded by a brilliant white light that emanated from deep with in me. I felt this energy quickly leave me. I then fall to the ground on my knees and noted that the vines had been completed obliterated to nothing, also the ground was scorched around me in a perfect circle.
I felt drained my wings hung limply to the floor, I raise my head and looked up. Jonah was stood still exactly where he was before I provoked him still looking unemotional. He slowly walked towards me his eye never leaving mine. He came to a stop in front of me and knelt down beside me.
“You are magnificent” his voice husky, making me tremble with something else other than the fear.
“Thanks” I panted.
“I suggest you think about the consequences before you try and provoke me again, I am new to my emotions and tend to have strong reaction as does the others” he told me “its only the fact that you fascinate me that I didn’t try to really hurt you rather than just frighten you” he stroked his hand down my face leaving it cupping my cheek “your grace was beautiful” he kissed me gently and quickly on the lips “as are you” he said as he was straightening up and stepping away from me.
“I will think on what you have said” with that he disappeared. I sighed in relief and longing. I stand up on very shaky legs and stumble my way to the cottage, I dragged myself to the sofa and threw myself onto it and promptly pass out as the blackness over took me.


I open my eyes as pain stabbed through my head, I had one hell of a headache. I groaned and pushed myself up on my elbows and gingerly opened my left eye.
“Hi angel” my brother said as he was smiling at me.
“Hey demon” I answer smiling back at me. I loved my bother and would do anything for him even nearly getting myself killed by mister hot and scary.
“What time is it?” I ask.
“Mom will come looking for you anytime now, so I slipped out to come and get you before they do” he replies.
“thanks Luc” I stood and thankfully was more steady on my feet “let me shower and dress and I’ll be good to go” I race up the stairs washed and dressed in my usual leathers trousers and vest tops complete with my knives and sword strapped on all within 15 minutes a record for me.
I joined my brother and step outside, fly or teleport he inquires and I opt to fly to give me more time to think what I was going to say to our parents. I flare out my wings to hear Luc gasp.
“What have you done Lily” shock evident in his voice.
“Why?” I ask and turn my head to look at him, he nods towards my wings, I swing round to look at what Luc has seen to see that my once black wings now were streaked with red. “Holy crap” I exclaimed.
“What the bloody hell did you do” he asked me running a finger along one of the many now red feathers to then quickly pull his hand away. He reached out again to touch them again only to swear and pull his hand away again.
“What you doing that for?” I ask and touch one myself, it felt a little warm but exactly the same except for the colour.
“They shocked me” he answered.
“Really, they feel no different to me” and stroke down my wing again
“Well your shocking me” he grinned but worry etched his face. “What happened?” he asked again.
I quickly tell him of the conversation with Jonah minus the kissing and the complements, I also edited my reactions to him. Luc remained silent as I told him and remained that way as I finished.
“Well” I prompted.
“I think we’re screwed” he told me. Which I nodded my head in agreement. “Did they give you a time scale” he asked.
“He didn’t but I don’t think they think of time the same as we do or they would have been back before now” I answer as Luc agreed with my reasoning.
“Which races are the ones to be saved I wonder” he mused.
“Remind me to ask next time I have my ass kicked” I grunt.

“How come you survived anyway, if his out to cleanse us all why not get you out the way now?” he wondered “especially with that smart mouth of yours, I would have killed you for that alone!” he laughed. Unable to tell the truth knowing it would lead to a bunch of questions I
