Angel of Death

[Nyhte]

  all! Just discovered the creative corner here so thought I'd share this one (even though it's old) but reading back on it, it's quite creative O.o and not too shabby. Sorry if there's some grammatical errors and stuff. It was the summer before I started grade 12 and my English teacher told us to write a story.
Condition: Quote that inspired your story in bold and italics and must have a fairy tale ending, short story.
Hope you all enjoy it and I always welcome any kind of feed back ^^ especially criticism!

I was led down a path, but left behind. I began to fall into a bottomless pit of darkness, where I became alone for eternity....

"No! Please stop!" I try to push him away, keeping my thighs close shut from the daily torment this person gives me. "Luciél," he whispers as he softly strokes my cheek, "we've done this many times; you have other men play with you too. One more won't hurt."

He forces my thighs apart and thrusts himself inside me. I scream at the shock and pain, tears flowing down my face. He whispers and moans into my ear, "if only you weren't imprisoned here, you're so beautiful Luciél. Your snowy white skin is so silky, your hair just glows with brilliance but most of all, your eyes. You have the most beautiful sapphire eyes, so crystal clear-ah!"

My eyes widen in horror and instantly shut as I scream; my thighs tighten on the sides of his body, my nails scraping across his bare back where his wings are hidden. He pants heavily and parts from me, quickly cleaning us up. He puts his uniform back on. As he unfurls his wings, the room is brightly lit.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the same time Luciél." He walks out of the room followed by a loud bang of the metal door. I am still lying on the ground, broken and panting. My eyes lose all light and hope, the hope that one day my parents will save Lucius and myself from this torment.

"Lucius, please kill me. I don't want to live anymore...." Tears begin to flow from my closed eyes; my wings, as well as my hair, start to turn deathly black. My eyes transform from sapphire to crimson, and my skin turns ethereal white.

Lucius' eyes open and she sits up, looking at the chains around her wrists and ankles and she lifts her hand to touch the one around her neck. "Luciél, you always protect me. Every time those men come to have their way with our body. You always force me into unconsciousness. Why? Why must you suffer the pain alone?" Lucius screams at the top of her lungs; "Just because two angles gave birth to us, we become infertile, a play toy!"

Lucius starts to glow brightly and something invisible slashes at the door, leaving behind a deep scar. Lucius looks up, confused by what she's done, "a new power?" The door suddenly opens, the man from before comes running in, "Luciél, what's wrong-" he stops in his tracks at the sight of Lucius. Her beauty is indescribable; her ghostly glowing white skin, crimson eyes and bloody red lips, her long silky jet black hair, wings shining with darkness. Her beauty is so desirable yet deadly as well; it is different from what Luciél gives off.

Lucius speaks ever so softly, "Luciél? No, I'm not Luciél. I'm her sister, Lucius." Chills go down his spine as her voice penetrates him. He walks toward her slowly, drops on his knees, to be the same level as her, and takes out the key. He unlocks all the chains, hypnotized by her charisma. As each one falls to the ground, it echoes through the room eternally.

Lucius' eyes become a darker shade of red and pearly white fangs appear. She hugs him before he can see her fangs; she places her head on his shoulder and slowly brushes his shoulder and neck with her cheek. Without thinking, she licks his neck. In reaction, he hugs her tighter, hoping for more pleasure.

In an instant, she buries her fangs into him, causing blood to rush into her mouth, she hungrily drinks her fill. His skin colour turns from rosy peach to ghastly white; his grip upon her weakens as he looses his strength. His blood runs out of his veins and into her mouth, to travel within her beautiful flawless body.

As Lucius continues to drink until the last drop, she begins to glow, a slight red aura surrounding her. Lucius licks her dead meal once more and drops him to the floor. "This new power, I can feel it surging through me. It's my turn to protect you, Luciél. Sleep well, my beloved sister, until I take revenge for thee. "

Lucius wings begin to disappear as she wants to hide them. She takes a step out of her prison and onto the clear white clouds. Her touch changes the colour of the clouds into dirty grey, tainted from the pureness it once was. Her long smooth black hair flows behind her smoothly as arch-angels surround her. Lucius smirks and glows brightly, blinding all the angels. When the light finally fades, a sphere of blood appears. All the arch-angles are lying on the clouds with grisly white skin; no life is left within their eyes.

Lucius leans forward to begin her feast, "Lucius!" She stops suddenly and turns around to face a stranger who is peculiarly familiar to her. She crosses her arms and faces him fully, and stares at him confusingly, "Who are you?"

"General Alexis! Get away! This is no time for family reunion!" A nearby arch-angel shouts out. Lucius' eyes widen and the blood sphere behind her loses its shape and spills upon the stained clouds, changing its colour to Lucifer's corrupted blood.

"...father?" Lucius starts to tremble. Her hair colour changes from deathly black to glowing white, which results in highlights of both colours. Her eye colour is transformed from crimson to lilac. Her skin changes from ghostly white to ivory. The red aura surrounding her lightens and turns light pink.

The figure standing in front of General Alexis continues to tremble vigorously and tears start to well up in their eyes. "Why?" they scream at him with a voice that contains two souls as one. "Why father? Why are you doing this to us? Why must we be imprisoned? Why must we suffer unwillingly everyday as many men have their way with our body? Filthy men...."

Their hands clamp shut as fists and shakes, the feathers in their wings fluff out. Suddenly they start to glow brightly, "I will never forgive what they did to Luciél!" they shriek and the light blasts out towards the arch-angels. All the arch-angels release their summoned holy arrows, aiming at her. "No!"

They open their eyes and General Alexis embracing them, as the arrow's nock sticks out of his back and vanish, leaving him severely wounded. Tears flow down their faces. "Father!" Alexis pants heavily, and lifts his hand to stroke their beautiful soft faces and look into their eyes.

"My beautiful princesses, how attractive you both have become." He smiles slightly and falls to the ground hard. "Father!" They cry out and drop to their knees, placing their father's head on their lap, as tears drip from their eyes, looking at him sadly. He coughs slightly and a trickle of blood flows from his mouth. "I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused you. I was a demon before, your mother was a gorgeous angel, and I loved her so much that I asked God to purify me, so I could become an angel. Although, my appearance might be changed, my blood isn't."

He closes his eyes while breathing more slowly and smiles a little, "I got your mother pregnant; I was very happy when I heard the news that I was going to be a father. But God once told me, it was forbidden for Aidan and I to bear children because of my blood. If we were to do so, we would create something beyond this world that would contain two souls in one body. I never listened to God and Aidan wanted to give birth to you two."

Alexis makes a painful expression as he continues on, "We kept this secret to ourselves but this is heaven and God is God. Nothing can be hidden from him. When you were finally born, we were very happy, until God appeared. He forced Aidan to give you two up. Aidan was already very weak from labor with major blood loss. The stress was too much and she died. God then made a decision to keep you alive but I can never see you. You are a hybrid of a demon and an angel, your emotions are your greatest powers; they can either save the world or destroy it."

He looks up into their eyes lovingly, "Till the very end, your mother and I...loved you both...very much...." Alexis' eyes close and his head, in their arms, slumps even more. Their eyes widen, they shake Alexis' body, "Father? Father! Please don't leave us! Not when we finally meet again!" They cry out and hug him tightly, "Don't leave us behind! We need you! We can't live in this place anymore without you and mother!" They scream at the top of their lungs and cry harder.

The arch-angels all stand-by just in case Lucius and Luciél try to do something. They whisper softly, "Father, Luciél and Lucius want to be with Mother and you. We'll never be apart ever again." Her hair bangs cover the emotions behind her eyes. She starts to shine brilliantly and unfolds her wings as feathers from one wing start to disintegrate; feathers flying around her as she slowly disappears.

After a few seconds, the remains of Alexis, Luciél and Lucius are no where to be seen; their beautiful feathers fall from the sky swiftly and silently. An intense light shines, and God appears. "I was too late." He looks up to the sky and at the feathers, painfully and sadly. As he reaches out to touch one softly, he murmurs; "I never meant for this to happen." He brings his hands together and starts to chant a spell, "Please forgive me for my mistakes, and I never meant to make you all suffer. My gift to you four so may all of you live happily in a new realm together." He releases the dazzling sphere and it flies towards the endless blue sky.

Epilogue

"Kids! Wake up and come down to eat some breakfast! Or you'll be late for school!" A man shouts from the bottom of the stairs, "Alexis, please. They are quite old enough to not be reminded." Alexis' clear crystal sapphire eyes shift over and meets with brilliant crimson eyes. He smiles at her.

A beautiful woman with a slender body stands before him with the look of eternal youth once more. Her long white silky hair with scarlet highlights has a certain glow to it, her ivory white skin shimmers beneath her dark coloured clothing. Alexis walks toward her and holds her close to him, as if he hasn't seen her in millions of years.

"I would choose this moment in time to last forever with my fiery goddess, Aidan. Never part with me, my love." He lifts his hand to stroke her cheek gently and kisses her deeply with intense passion. His arms wrap around her shoulders to keep her close as her hands on his shirt tighten slightly.

He parts from her ruby lips and hugs her tightly. "Though the season flies, my feelings remain the same as that day...I love you Aidan." Aidan smiles happily and whispers; "Ever since I died and was reincarnated by God, it was as if I was cursed. All I wanted was to see you again." She places her hand on his cheek, "that was my only reason for existing since I was a little girl." She looks sadly and agonizingly into his eyes.

Alexis lifts Aidan's hand to his lips and kisses it with all his heart; "So childish...so pure...enough to make even an angel go insane." He moves the hand that held hers toward her face to part her snow white hair from her scarlet eyes and kisses her and murmurs, "Aidan, there's a reason devils become devils, because God makes angels go crazy with this thing called love. But for now, this moment in time, there is no God here; no one to know us and no one to censure us, so we're guilty. But, we're the world's happiest sinners, my love."

He pulls her head towards his and kisses her with all his heart, "Mother! Father!" Two voices shout out and two beautiful young twin girls appear. Aidan and Alexis part from each other, smiling happily and open their arms to welcome their beloved daughters, "Luciél, Lucius!" The two angels run towards their parents, and embrace them.

The End

Some quotes the characters say are inspired or similar from stories I have read.

This is extremely good. You are a very talented writer. I hope you decide to post more of your works here. I know I'm probably one of many who would be eager to read them. I was just saddened that it was so short. I would have loved to have read more back story and character development (especially how Aiden and Alexis met). I really enjoyed the angel demon conflict setting, it reminds me a lot of something I'm writing right now. I also really liked the epilogue at the end, but I'm such a sucker for happy endings and mushy romance.

ME DOTH LOVE!
Rapists, and angels, and dreams,
and of course the sad sads.
Me doth love.
Me doth love.
Me doth love.
Tears and death and rape!
Me doth love.
*hums very badly and skips (very badly) away*
Yummideedumdum!
It's very haunting and gushy and intricate. As Sabria says, the character development is good.
And shall we mention... DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE?
Ex: 

But WHY are you writing?
WHERE"S BB WHERE"S BB?
*shakes fist in anger*
Best wishes,
Hope that part-timing 40 hours/week goes well!
Yup. Goes veeeery well. Not creepy or anything.

Holy smokes Nyhte.
You scared the living crap out of me with the first few lines of the story. (not that those few lines even stopped me right? lolz)
That was really good hon.

I understand that it was only meant to be a short story, hence the lack of background for the characters and such, but you really didn't waste any lines huh? =]

I especially liked the creativity of the two souls in one body and the fact that they can physically change as well as mentally shut one out from the other's life(usually I see more of a "dual personality" type character who have memories of each other's experiences since they share the same body. But, if they can go as far as being able to change shape, then it would make sense that they would be able to block the sharing of memories/experiences--thus, two souls)

Keep it up~~

[Nyhte]

Aw thank you for the lovely comments ladies ^^ . I'll post up more short stories and current chapters of one of my many books to come
