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

“Why?” I growled.
“It needed to be done” and that was the only answer I ever got.
I closed my eyes, my headache still pounded away in my head I grimaced as it stabbed it’s way across my head. I felt his hand on my forehead and felt the pain in my head fade into nothing.
“Thanks” I muttered refusing to open my eyes to look at him at the moment. When I heard no reply I opened my eyes to see Jonah with his back to me looking out the window.
“Jonah” I say softly, he turned his head to acknowledge me but his attention was still outside “how long do we all have before this cleansing starts” I ask.
“The answer will bring you no peace Lily, so why do you need to know” true confusion evident.
I remained calm as I think about my answer “so I can prepare so I can say goodbye, so I can decide what I must do to fight it” I answer honestly.
“So I can die happy, so I can die knowing I tried” I add.
“I don’t want you dead” he told me “I will protect you if you allow it.”
I knew he would, I felt the truth to his words.
“What about the innocent, what about my mother and brother, what about my future I could have had with them.” I reply.
“What about man kind, what about the vampires, witches, weres, shifters, and gnomes, what about them all” I start getting irritated by his very presence at each word I spat out. “not all deserve this fate you elders gods have decide for them and I will fight you with every breath in my body if you try and wipe them off this plant” I stood holding his eyes to mine drawing my literal line in the sand, making sure he knew that I meant every word.
“Lily” he whispered as he closed the gap between us firmly placing his mouth on mine, kissing me hungrily, I kissed him a few moments before coming back to my sense I angrily pushed him away.
“I can not do this” I say to him touching my swollen lips with my shaky hand. “I cannot accept what it is you want to do to us, I feel that I know you in my soul, but its not enough” I tell him.
“I am conflicted” he replies.
“Oh” was all I could say my anger quickly gone making me tired again. I sat back down watching him. He walks to in front of me to kneel between my knees, I presume so that he could face me. I feel his hands rest on my thigh and sent a delicious shiver through my body; I looked at him and noticed his smile at my reaction.
“It’s because of you” he told me “I have been thinking of your last words to me and I am unsure as to what my purpose is here.”
I was finding hard to keep still with his hands on me and be able to listen to his voice.
“I will speak to my brothers and sisters but that is all I can and will do, I am unsure of even doing that or even if its right thing, but I will do it for you.”
“that’s all I ask” I lean forward and throw my arms around his neck drawing him close to me, I feel him put his arms round my back and hugs me back. I close my eyes and hold tight for a second longer and lean away.
I lean back so I could press my lips to his, and he kissed me back with an intensity that surprised me. He deepens the kiss and pushed me back into the chair so his body is pressed into mine. My hand of their own accord snaked up into his hair holding him to me. He pulled back and I was glad to see that he breathing was as unsteady as mine.
“Until next time” with that he vanished my arms dropping into my lap.
“What the fuck am I getting into” I mumbled to myself.
I rise from my chair go into the kitchen and grab myself a drink of water. Glass in hand I head up my bedroom and lie down, I close my eyes and dream of a dark haired sex god who just so happens wants to kill us all.


“what the fuck” I shouted as I have opened my eyes to see my brother looking down at me “that’s just creepy” I add as I pull my duvet to cover my head blocking the sight of my brother.
“Time to get up sleepy head” he says as he pulls the duvet back to remove it completely from my body to dump it on the floor at the foot of my bed.
“Time?” I ask.
“You’ve been asleep about 10 hours, its mid morning” he replies.
I jump out of bed a race to the window to confirm what my brother had said. The sun was bright in the sky not quiet at its zenith. I was shocked I hadn’t slept for this long since I was a child.
“Why didn’t you wake me?” I ask him as I sat down on my bed running my fingers through my mass of hair.
“We thought you might need it after the beating we took and” he pointed over my shoulder to where my wings would normally be I immediately understood what he was saying about my wings. “Come on moms waiting” he strode out the room.
“Great” I muttered. I looked down at myself dressed in my silk night shirt sure that I had gone to bed fully clothed “perv” I say blushing of embarrassment realising that Jonah had yet again dressed me for bed. I quickly dress to meet my remaining family downstairs. As I entered the lounge my mother rushes over to me and hugs me tight, I look over her shoulder to meet Luc’s eyes and he smiled.
“Mom I need to breath” I say as she then releases me.
“Sorry” she says.
Luc stood leaning against the kitchen counter watching me closely, to the point it made me feel uncomfortable. Mom starts to make tea, for a demon she is very domesticated. A few minutes has passed and all you could hear was the teaspoon hitting the side of the cups as she stirred our tea, she handed us both a cup and takes her own to hold in her hands.
“Are you going to tell me about your wings?” she asks breaking the silence. Quickly I tell her about my encounter with Jonah except the kissing part. Luc remained silent and watchful.
“And” she prompted.
“And nothing” I answer her.
“His took a bit of a shining to our archangel” Luc told our mother.
“Really” she says as she swings her head round to look at me.
“No, not really” I tell them both before I take a long drink of my tea; dam my perceptive brother I thought.
“What now?” I ask them both changing the subject away from me and Jonah’s fascination for me.
“I have organised a meeting in about 4 hours time with the leaders of our people to discuss the situation and try and establish what side of the fence everyone is on” she informs us.
“What about dad?” I ask unsure how mom was going to react.
She sighs deeply and her eyes fill with tears before answering me “he made his choice, and lets be honest it never been a choice it’s always been him upstairs” tears trailed down her cheeks but her voice remained strong. Luc came up behind her and wrapped his arms round her pulling her into his body to offer comfort, seeing them like this my heart also ached for her and I too went over to them and held them to me. We stood wrapped up in our tight family circle for a few moments before she pushed us away laughing.
“Enough of this nonsense” she told us.
“And what has granddaddy had to say about our situation” Luc asked.
“Don’t ever let him hear you call him that” mom told him smiling brightly.
“Ok” he both answered together.
“He as always is on his own side but has promised to help us as long as we don’t interfere with his own plans” she tells us.
“That Lucifer for you” Luc replies.
“Is he attending this meeting?” I ask.
“No I am representing him” mom tells us.
“You do know that he will probably be there” I say softly meaning my father and seeing the brief look of sadness she knew who I meant.
“Possibly or it could be Gabriel but angels aren’t officially invited anyway” she said.
“There going to gate crash then” I state.
“That’s about the size of it” mom agrees. She collects the cups up and rinses them in the sink. She turns back to us “I want you both there, united front.” we both nodded in agreement as she disappears.
“What a mess” I exclaim as I walk into the front room followed by Luc close behind me. I sit down heavily on the coffee table whilst Luc takes the seat directly in front of me.
“Are you going to tell
