《Looed and Lost You 》_Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fluffy sea mammals_
Advertisement
Gun N' Roses blasted through the house. I rocked out along with Gabriel as we tried to make lunch.
"Cansas. Gabriel." Balthazar said from the doorway but we couldn't hear him.
"You know where you are?" Gabriel sang.
"You're in the jungle baby, you gonna dieee," I sang back.
"In the jungle welcome to the jungle," We both sang together.
"Gabriel...Cansas." Balthazar called again. When we didn't answer he snapped his fingers turning the music off. I looked up from my sandwich. "Did you turn the music off?"
Gabriel shook his head. "Not m-"
"It was me." I turned around to find Balthazar standing there with his arms crossed. "Balthy. Your back! Is everything okay up in Heaven?" I gave him a hug which he returned gratefully.
"Yes. Elyon and his flock are keeping quiet. So is Daphiel's." We pulled away.
"That a good thing right?"
"Maybe. They could also be waiting for the right time to tell the all of Heaven."
I ran a hand through my hair and then crossed my arms. "How much time do you think we have?" Gabriel asked walking up beside me.
"I'm not sure. But we have to be ready to deal with them when they do."
"Do...do we have enough forces to take them down?" Gabriel asked.
"We have Azrie and Uzziel's, flock. With all of us combine they still outnumber us." Gabriel ran a hand over his face.
"But numbers don't matter. We have angels, an archangel, and me. I think that's more than enough to take them down don't you think?" I said making Balthazar nod.
"Yes, you are right. But they are favored by Raphael. They also have access to all of Heaven. Meaning they have access to its weapons. They found that collar they put on you there. If they look hard enough they could very easily find something to take your powers away in the blink of an eye."

"You guys have a weapon like that?"
"Probably. I don't get to use any of them." Gabriel sighed beside me and I looked over.
"There was...A long time ago...I used it on a Nephilim. You would think it would just turn them human. And it does...but after a while it slowly kills them. I destroyed it. So they can't get their hands on it." My eyes widened a bit.
"Well, let's be grateful for that."
A knock on the front door was heard and we all looked out of the entrance. "Did you tell anyone our address?" Balthazar asked me. I shook my head and we all walked into the living room.
Angel blades fell into both Balthazar and Gabriel's hands. "It's an angel."
"Who?" I asked as Gabriel got in front of me. "My not sure." Balthazar walked to the door and looked back at us. He opened the door and grabbed the angel pulling it in. It was a woman with blond hair. She wore a gray shirt and blue jeans.
Gabriel pinned her to the ground. "Wait! Wait! I didn't come it hurt any of you!" She said holding her hands up. Gabriel narrowed his eyes.
"Then why are you here?"
"She in Daphiel's flock. Kill her Gabriel. She's a spy. She will tell the others!" Balthazar closed the door. Gabriel picked her up and slammed her against a wall.
"I-I'm Cathetel! Yes, I work for Daphiel! It doesn't mean I want to! I'm just a medic for crying out loud!" She said looking from Gabriel to Balthazar.
"We can't take any chances." Balthazar walked up to Gabriel. "Sorry kid but he's right." Gabriel went to bring his blade down.

"Wait! Gabriel!" I ran over and stopped him. Cathetel, eyes wide with fear, took deep breaths as she looked over at me. "Cansas-"
"You can't just kill her. She could tell us what they plan to do next."
"Heaven trains us not to wilt under torture," Balthazar said looking over to me.
"I'll tell you anything! I don't want to follow Raphael or Daphiel. I want to follow you, Gabriel." Gabriel seemed to get angered by this.
"I'm off the chessboard. I'm not getting involved in anything Heaven. I will not lead anyone."
Gabriel then dropped Cathetel and backed up. "I-I'll be back." He said disappearing in the sound of flapping wings. I sighed and looked at the angel.
"You'll tell us anything?"
Cathetel nodded her head fast. "Yes, anything." I looked over to Balthazar. "I still think we should kill her."
"When we get all the information we need you can do whatever you want with her." I looked back over to the Cathetel whose eyes were wide.
"Let's sit down." She nodded and followed me over to the living room. "Cansas. I'm going to check on Gabriel. Are you going to be fine by yourself?"
"Yep." Balthazar was then gone in the blink of an eye. I sat down in the armchair and Cathetel sat on the couch.
"Why are you betraying your flock?" Cathetel rubbed her upper arm.
"Daphiel...she's putting my family in danger. Sidriel is dead because we had to kidnap Gabriel."
"...You do know I-"
"Yes, I know you killed him. And you killed Ariuk. But they fell while fighting you. And that I will respect." I nodded my head slowly.
"Alright. Raphael. What does he have to do with this whole thing?" Cathetel looked around before looking back at me.
"He doesn't as much want Gabriel dead. He wants to lock him in Heaven's prison until the apocalypse is over and done. He believes that Gabriel will try to interfere with it. But he also fears..." Cathetel looked around again.
"Keep going," I said crossing my leg over my knee. "He fears Gabriel might join Lucifer's side...they were very close...Gabriel has some of the beliefs Lucifer does."
I raised my eyebrows. "We are talking about the same Gabriel here right?" Cathetel's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What other Gabriel would I be talking about?"
"Nevermind. The apocalypse. When's that supposed to happen?"
"Soon. The demons are alright working on trying to break the 66 seals. After Dean Winchester broke the first-"
"Dean Winchester? He broke one of these seals? How?"
"Well, it is written the first seal shall be broken when a righteous man sheds blood in Hell. And as he breaks, so shall it break."
"...I'm guessing a seal isn't a cute, fluffy sea mammal."

Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi.
