My Guardian Angel CH 14-15

 

    Chapter Fourteen            

  

Before I could say a word a huge bag was placed over my head. I can feel we are high in the sky. The breeze begins to slow as I feel him land. He places me on the ground and removes the bag. We are in a forest and a huge hole is in front of me. A shovel was to my left. I reached for my back pocket and my phone was missing. Drake holds it and burns it to ash. “Sorry but Lance won’t save you.” he states.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“The Forest of Willows.”

“What?! That forest is in Canada. You are lying, we weren't even flying for that long. Plus by hoverboard it would still be long unless…” I stop talking when he sprouts huge bat wings.

“Does this answer your question?” he said. I slowly nod. I look back at the huge hole and then him. “Oh don’t worry I won’t kill you, my father needs you for his freedom. This hole is for your boyfriend when he arrives.” he explains. My eyes go wide from his words.

“Father? Wait, the demon king is your Dad; but Lance told me you had no clue who your parents were?” I questioned. Drake laughs at my statement. 

“Yeah of course he would tell you that, since I planted that story in his head. That day on the beach was our first meeting ever but thanks to my Devil’s Stare, I planted a whole backstory in his head about our ‘friendship’.” he explains. His words made me freeze. All this time he was literally a ‘nobody’ to Lance and probably Beth too. He used his powers to implant false memories in his head. 

“So, who are you really Drake and how did you find out about me? If not from the beach?!” I said with rage. He steps closer to me and then blows red powder in my face. I cough and then look around at a fiery hell. Drake was standing right next to me.

“Calm down. I didn’t poison you, it’s a flashback. See that woman over there with the long brown hair and white eyes. That is my mother.” he said. I looked her over and saw she was wearing armor.  I watch her walk towards her other comrades. I turned around and saw a whole army of angels.

“This event was over a thousand years ago. Back when the demon king had no barrier placed over him and he ruled with an iron fist. The angels didn’t like how he ruled. Letting the demons roam free and taint the human minds for fun. Because of this the first World War happened with humans. So, the angel leaders made a bet with the king and if he lost, he would be used as an example to his people. He would be locked in his throne room by a barrier and if he tried to escape the angels would burn Hell to the ground. If the angels lost, they would let the demons do as they please until another thousand years goes by.” he explains. I slowly nod and watch his mother.

She walks to battle with the others and of course the angels win. His mother was quite strong and because of that I learned from Drake, that she was put in charge of watching the barrier. 

“Hell was put back in order after a year and my mother had become chummy with the demon king…”

“Not to interrupt but does the demon king have a name?”

“Yeah Vlad. But anyway you get where this story is heading. They fell in love and after three years behind the barrier, my mother let the barrier down and they embraced. Everyone thought he was playing her but that was not the case. They loved each other but the angel council would not have it. So, my mother decided to leave them and nine months later I was born. An angel working in Hell found out and told the council. My mother knew she couldn’t run so she gave me to one of my fathers family members and they raised me. It wasn’t until I was old enough to learn that the council killed my mother to set another example to my father.” he informs. I knew he was the enemy but I felt bad. I pat his back with caution. The vision ends and we are back in the forest. 

“So, what's the end game here Drake? If you get my body and free your father, what are you two going to do?” I asked with caution. Drake smiles at my question.

“Another war of course, except this time we are going to win and the human world will be ours.” he answers. 

“Fuck me!” 

Chapter Fifteen 

       

I watch Drake step back and chant some words under his breath. He looks at me and smirks. “I just released the mind trans on Lance and now he should be here any second.” he informs.

“Look I am not one to talk or understand the rage you feel. But humans do not deserve this agony. They surfer enough just from devils and angels being here. Please rethink this, please!” I begged. Drake's eyes go soft for a moment and then he steps forward. He places a hand on my shoulder. 

“You have a point and I will discuss it with my father, but it does not change the fact that I need your body.” he said. I grind my teeth and sigh. I quickly lift my hand and use his powers to blast him back. He falls to the ground and I lift my pants to release my second dagger. With everything that was going on, Lance thought two daggers would be better than one. While he is down I take off running. I dodge tree after tree until I reach a small waterfall. I felt a shiver and saw him flying straight towards me. 

I look again at the waterfall and run towards the edge. All of this chaos is happening because of me. So, this is my deed to save mankind. He can’t use my body if its limbs are broken. “Don’t you dare!” Drake yells. He summons a black ball of energy. He launches it and it heads towards a tree. It falls in front of me and I stop. He lands in front of me and I immediately leg sweep him. I hop over the tree and continue to run. I reach the edge and look back.

Drake runs towards me with rage in his eyes. I took a breath and jumped before he had the chance to grab me. The wind flew past me. I see the rocky bottom down below and embrace for impact. This was a reckless idea but I couldn’t think of another way to save mankind. While falling all I could think about was Lance. I wish I could have seen him one last time. I close my eyes and prepare for a world of hurt. 

“Idiot!” I heard a familiar voice scream. I open my eyes and see Lance under me. He grabs me and swoops me away. Drake looks at us and sprouts his wings.

“Look I know I told you any species with wings have a hard time flying down and then back up…but that doesn’t mean jump off a waterfall. Were you trying to kill yourself?!” he screams. He looks at my facial expression and freezes. “What the hell?!”

“Lance, you know the whole truth about Drake now…and I am scared. If he gets my body, the whole human and angel race will be in trouble!” I expressed.

“Okay and I understand that, but you don’t jump to the conclusion of death yet because you have me or did you forget that?!” he confesses. My face goes red from his words and then my eyes go wide.

“Duck!” I warn. Lance goes down and flies between the trees for cover. Drake stays above and launches almost a hundred fireballs. “Look I did not forget about you but…can you beat him?” I asked. Lance ponders my question.

“He’s strong but have faith in me. I will die before he lays a finger on you.”

“That’s what I am afraid of…” I whisper to myself. Lance finds cover in the base of a huge tree. He closes his eyes to focus. He summons his sword and opens his eyes. “Got you!” he said, throwing his sword. 

“Ah!” Drake yells. He fell to the ground and I saw his sword was deep in his wing. Lance launches a white beam and burns his wings to ash. “Nice I didn’t expect that from someone as weak as you.” he stated. Lance frowns as Drake heals himself. He tosses his sword and Lance extends his hand to bring it back.

“There are a lot of things you don’t know about me. Especially when I’m mad.” Lance explains. Lance's eyes glow an intense white as Drake’s goes a mellow red. They run at each other. Drake with his spear and Lance with his sword. Each impact causes a huge gust of wind. Lance was holding his own but he had more scratches than him. I didn’t want to stand here and watch but what else can I do?

“Ah!” Lance got stabbed in his arm. He falls to his knees and Drake walks past him. He is coming my way and I quickly run. A fire lasso wraps around my ankles. I fall and he laughs. He pulls me to him and carries me on his shoulder.

“Have to admit, your boy toy is more powerful than I thought and I'm the demon king's son.” he said. I use my dagger and slice his back. He screams, losing his grip. I feel a white rope around me. I’m pulled towards Lance and he slices the rope on my ankle. He stands in front of me and punches the ground.

“Swarm of Vines!” he yells. A whole mass of vines come from the ground and entangle Drake. Drake struggles to break them. Lance tightens his fist and spikes appear on them. Drake yells in pain. His blood drips on the vines and then the screaming stops. He looks at Lance and smiles.

“Blood of Flames!”. The vines catch on fire and he is free. He sends the vines back and Lance forms a shield. He pushes them back and grabs me. We fly through the sky at high speed. Drake was behind us. 

“Don’t throw up!” he commands. He flies up to the sun and I can see his energy being restored. He holds out his hand and Drake freezes. “Cosmic Blast!” A powerful blast escapes his hand and Drake takes on the impact. It was too much for him to handle and it pushed him back down. Lances dives down and slices Drake in the chest. He slams into the ground and Lance lands.

“Is it over?” I asked. Lance still looks ready to attack. The ground begins to shake and I see trails of lava form. They consume Drake's body and he rises with a lava body.

“Jai, get out of here now!” he screams. I wanted to deny him but that look in his eyes told me ‘I would just be in the way’. I take off running with tears in my eyes.

“If you die I will never forgive you!” I yelled. I saw Lance smirk from the corner of my eyes. I run as fast as I can to escape the after blast of each attack they were doing. I somehow ended up right back at the place with the hole. I looked in it and saw a five point star. Then it hit me.

“How did he dig this when it was here when we arrived, unless…”

“Hey Vessel!” I hear a muggy voice yell. I turned around and saw a whole load of demons were around me. Drake was just a distraction for Lance while these goons sneak me off to Hell. The star begins to glow and I see a Hell burning sky on the other side. I hold my dagger tight and prepare for the fight of my life.
