- Everything is ready .
  Ethan and Castiel nodded and skirted some tombstones that hid their tall shadows long enough for them to cross to the entrance to the catacomb of sacrifices . Concealed in the shadows and saw the soldiers in training not so alert, but indicated that determination to block the passage and endurance to let strangers enter the second time in the fortress of Emperor of Hell . They walked silently with his hands raised in surrender. The guards exchanged glances and watched the air and surroundings , ensuring that no one was spying on them and broke through to enter the archangels .
   Even from the beginning of the immense stone staircase worn it down to the deepest depths of the damp and you could hear the wailing souls trapped people and to serve the Great Leader . The path provided no proper illumination conditions or for there to be some simple spark of light to illuminate the path , however this was not a problem for them because the lights that emit their wings , however weak they were, they were able to illuminate a few feet ahead and were reflected in the prisoners' cells , groaning and whining asking for help and crying for forgiveness for irrational acts they committed. All that noise soon became unbearable and it made Castiel irritated , causing it kicked the metal door closer to him . The souls fell silent and stood where they were cornered , as if paralyzed and only the eyes were free to move .
   They looked cell by cell, but found no Enma anywhere until they heard a sound and something like whispers coming from the bottom of a dark, narrow hallway . The crying of a child was heard , like the sound of a whip hitting a body and bars of metal being activated . Footsteps could be heard clearly, until the archangels realized they climbed some stairs and disappeared .

   Luke was still held by the power of Lucifer , who sat on the throne peacefully enjoying a glass of red wine and looking at his son with disapproval and contentment simultaneously. General demon wanted to break free , however , the more he tried to get rid of, more energy was sucked out of it and it quieted down for a few minutes .
- Give it up , son . You will not escape unless I decide to let you go .
   The tentacles that bound Luke tightened his throat sharply , causing him to lose a significant portion of oxygen. He growled , glaring menacingly Lucifer and murderer , however , the Emperor of Hell even notice the fury of the prisoner .
   But Luke undid his expression of anger and watched the arrival of Daaths , who were all gathered in the hall glowering at the Emperor , certainly requiring a plausible explanation for the death of Klaus . Lucifer pointed to the general prisoner and said in a monotone :
- If you want revenge , it may do so . Luke was the one who killed your leader , I have nothing to do with it .
   The highest and the muscular Daaths stepped forward and looked at Lucifer with his chin up and fists clenched tightly, which left her knuckles white .
- Do you really think we believe that? We know it was his son who killed him , but we also know that you have permitted such character ! Do not blame the murderer , but his accomplice !
  Lucifer rose from his throne and waved black wings , leaving Daath arrogant with chills and fear , perhaps , have aroused the wrath of the Emperor of Hell . The aristocrat gave a half smirk and poisonous and approached the rebellious enough to feel the energy that this aggressive and terrifying emanating from Lucifer and let asphyxiated .
- So you're implying that I 'm the real killer ?
- N - No, Sir Lucifer. Just want to know how it all began and why your Magnificence did not stop him .
- I should not satisfactions of my behavior for rats like you.
   The Emperor of Hell looked at with contempt and insolent squinted outlined , making the body of Daath being consumed by flames black and be reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds , leaving the other rebellious followers terrified and static .
  One of them stepped forward and puffed out his chest , but soon his pose off brave reduced to nothing as Lucifer leaned over and looked at him with pearly eyes inflamed with anger , which was noticeable in the voice of the great demon .
- Want to be the next to dirty the floor of my hall , boy?
  He gulped and nodded his head, indicating to others that it was time to go there. However , before they could leave, Lucifer closed doors and barred their exit .
- Do you think I'll let them out ? While I do not get rid of all of you my plan will not be realized in full .
   Luke looked at the hostile manner in which gross and Daaths were undergoing and felt even more replusa and hate your tutor. He was still struggling to break free of the tentacles , but was unsuccessful and had her wrists and ankles burned black by the flames of Lucifer .
-Did you like of this, dear child ?
   The general growled and looked to the door behind the throne of Lucifer , that was the way to sacrifice and the catacombs where they came choruses of screams and wails . For what reason Luke could not say , but it was not normal . It was certain that the souls lamented daily, but not that way . Something should be happening and the demon just got to see pure light and bright , slipping into the crack that was in the center of the door near the door handle.

† XXVI. gяєαт ѕтяαтєgу †

  The fortress of Lucifer was being closely guarded by soldiers demons . Every square inch was being heavily guarded by the ablest generals of the Emperor of Hell to prevent Enma was taken from there. The demons were not only on land but also were flying around as if they were hawks ready to seize its prey .

  Castiel and Ethan were at a disadvantage . Since the other agents of the Order returned to heaven , the two archangels could not fight one faction alone . They needed a plan , but what ? Knew nothing of the whereabouts of Luke and also did not know where Enma could be . And if it was an ambush for them ? Wanted to retreat , but doubt dominated their minds . Hid amid some ruins of what appeared to be a temple and watched intently every movement of soldiers , waiting for a small security hole that they could use to their advantage .

†

  Watched for hours followed the movement of the guards and soon began to have a better perception of their surveillance system . Still, nothing they knew was enough ; training was perfect and synchronized , each soldier prepared to strike at any time . In fact , everything was lost without the power of Luke , that would be the only person able to penetrate enemy lines and enter the castle without hiding . However , the general was not there and they would have to work it out alone .

- They need strengthening ?

  The archangels were startled to hear the voice of Jade behind them. Ethan turned to face the girl and shook her head no .

- We need more than just you , Jade .

- No, we do not need .

  They looked at Castiel and realized that a plane was about to emerge . Of course they could trust the plans mate , since his function in Heaven is to make plans and all kinds of strategy and tactical operations and operational . However , there was a point against that situation : they were three to over thirty demons once and now had double the previous strength .

- What have you got in mind ?

- I know a way for us to get in without being seen and without having to fight, but it will involve a brief negotiation with some guards Lucifer.

- Castiel , are you crazy ? They will never do business with us !

  The archangel smiled and turned to face Ethan .

- My friend ... I did not say we would have to negotiate the truth, but to trick them so they tell us what they know and allow our passage as far as Enma and Luke may be .

  Jade and Ethan looked at each other and then Castiel stared with astonished expression , as the Archangel had lost his mind and common sense . Noticing the stares of fellow , he continued :

- Jade , you can change appearance, right?

  She nodded .

- So could turn into Victoria to have a little talk with them ?

- Sure - Jade became the perfect image of Victoria - Where do we start ?

  Castiel detailed walkthrough for both partners , which put in place and waited for the right moment to act .

†

- Hey , you two ! Come up here!

  The two soldiers who were before the passage to the catacombs quivered at the voice of Victoria and even more so when they saw the imposing figure of the new commanding and authoritative . Since Luke lost power command for becoming a traitor and was dipensado post , Lucifer gave power to Victoria , who left the promotion demonic it go to his head .

  They quit their jobs and walked heads down to where their leader was .

- Look at me ! Get rid of these guys assholes !

  The two stiffened up and changed their attitude in a split second.

- I have new orders from Lucifer and he said we have a few tactical changes . But first I have to know precisely how much you know about the operation . I want every detail, every point and every point of which was passed on to you.

  The two looked at each other and Damen started :

- Well , we know that there are two archangels who are willing to do anything to be released ekstasis therefore Lucifer charge your lordship to plot a defense strategy that would be effective .

- Logo , so one of them shows up here , we have orders to shoot to kill and attack without mercy and we should also take care that the key part no escape here . Nor can we allow Luke invades the catacombs and also must observe every movement Daaths so they do not rebel for killing Klaus . - Fhiret ended .

  Victoria shook her head slightly and looked at them approval with eyes half closed .

- Forget all this, our leader said clearly that you should allow entry of the archangels no resistance and you should take care that no one else sees them enter. Our Emperor is preparing an ambush and therefore you should not worry .

  Damen Fhiret and looked at each other and then nodded to the captain , resuming their posts but still confused by the sudden change in plans . That was not cut Lucifer , but they could not challenge the word of Victoria , so lowered their weapons and prepare for a possible arrival of the archangels .

  Enma was locked in a cell in the new catacomb of sacrfícios . Victoria put her in a cell of medium size, which had two beds of gray concrete and various signs of moisture coming from the ceiling to the walls , creating an unpleasant odor of mold , dust and blood.

  Several people were locked in other human cells that also the cell that Enma was , contained two people at a time . They cried , whined and sobbed . Some tried to escape , but were never able to accomplish such a feat .

  The view was depressing and macabre because she noticed that there were body parts of other people hanging on the walls and even deformed corpses and composition certainly for years and were tied in a situation that left Enma nauseous. It was to serve as an example to others about the consequences they would have tried to escape , which was very difficult because the cells had no windows and the cells were not made ​​of grids , but aluminum doors with peeling paint and stained with blood I had a small window with iron bars , allowing a little site seeing .

  Depressed and feeling weak , she lay down on one of the ' beds ' cold concrete and closed his eyes , trying to get some sleep even in a place like that foul .

  Sleep did not come because the wailing and all the noise that those poor souls were prevented any attempt to rest, because the sounds gruturais and treble bothered anyone 's eardrums . Maybe that would justify the lack of guards there. Giving up the rest, she sat up and hugged her knees , her thoughts away and concentrated on the archangels and Luke .

†

  Not long after, Enma soon see a shadow move across the cell. At first she flinched , assutada with the presence of the person who was there , but then she could see it was just a girl of about fourteen years who was in another bed turned sideways to face the newcomer in place . So Enma could see that the girl was pale , dirty gray and gaunt , but that sustained opaque green eyes and blond hair tangled and disheveled .

- I Enma Roberts .

- Kira . Kira Lockward .

  Silence reigned once more , however , Enma wanted to know more about the girl who looked familiar .

- How long have you been here?

- I do not know . I think six or seven decades .

- But why?

  Kira sat cross-legged and leaned slightly , arching an eyebrow .

- This is the catacomb of sacrifice. All that's here is because of the parents or of their decisions and are waiting for the day to serve the Great Emperor .

- What happened to you ? Why would a girl like you end up in a place like this ?

- Well .. My parents were too demanding to me and wanted me to study much most of the day for me to become a businesswoman large as they . However , what I really wanted was to become a famous singer , but they would not accept.

  She sighed and continued .

- It was then that I decided to run away and abandon everything I had learned . I put aside the belief by the archangels and by Heaven , because I just promised my soul to Lucifer with the condition that he could make my dream come true . - She gave a derisive laugh and spread his arms flimsy - But look where I am now : enclosed in a cell waiting to be moldy sacrifice.

- I'm sure all will be well .

  Kira sat beside Enma and put his hand on her forehead.

- You heard what happened just say? We are in hell ! See those corpses ! If we try to escape the same fate and they will never leave us free .

  Enma smiled from the heart.

- I'm sure everything will be solved soon.

  Kira shrugged and got up to return to his bed , however , Enma made ​​a friendly suggestion .

- You want me to straighten her hair ? They are ...

- Messy and messy , I know . - She turned to a cellmate and smiled for the first time , showing dimples protruding cheeks - Sure ! I'd love to !

†

  After Enma work with dexterity and agility on the golden hair of Kira , untangling them and holding them in a simple braid and sophisticated at the same time, he noticed something different.

- Thank you , Enma . I liked a lot. Nobody ever talked to me before and even offered to do my hair .

- I'm glad for that.

- Enma ? What happened ?

  Enma was immersed in memories recovered recently, remembering that he had seen the girl immediately when touched and awakened with a start .

- Kira by chance you were brought here by a tall , black hair and black leather outfit ?

  Kira rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

- No. If I remember correctly was a tall man with shoulder-length hair and wearing a black mask . Oh , and he wore a black robe with gold trim . Why?

- For nothing .

  Kira sat back down close to Enma and stood looking at her legs crossed .

- But tell me ...

- What happened ?

- Why are you here too?

- I was kidnapped at the behest of Lucifer . The leader of Daaths pretended to be my real father and killed my mother so I could be sacrificed to increase the power of Hell ... - Enma covered her mouth with her hands as she realized she had said too much .

  Kira looked at her green eyes wide and bright with surprise.

- You are the ekstasis ! But ... You already should not have been ...

- Something happened and the ritual was interrupted .

  The blond girl flinched and hugged her knees when she heard the noise of the cell being opened . It was one of the guards, who was scheduled to do the inspection cell .

  After being locked again , Enma looked at Kira and asked a question that sounded like a statement .

- Kira , you were adopted?

- Yes , as you know it ?

- Well .. Is that ...

- Come on! Say it , Enma !

  Enma breath and chose his words carefully before proceeding .

- When I touched you to straighten your hair , I felt a strong and pure energy , like Castiel and Ethan . Do you happen to remember anything before being adopted?

  Kira shook her head , denying any possibility. Enma sighed , thinking they have seen too much, but that feeling came back stronger and she decided she would strive to liberate not only herself , but also the one girl and all the souls that would be sacrificed .

One of the grand palace windows shattered by Lucifer out imapcto of a body being thrown against it . The shards of glass stained with blood were scattered across the room like black tiles and sparkling.
  Luke was lying face down on the ground with sharp shards Castle Window buried in his back and his wings . He was wounded in the face several times and the scratches went every right cheek estam bleeding . The devil tried to get up , however , Lucifer appeared like lightning and grabbed his shirt collar .
- You realize how useless is his new power against me ? My vassals can not bring me down and you for being my son , is the most powerless against my strength .
  The emperor of darkness threw his son away , causing him to hit his head against a tree trunk thick, gray and gnarled branches with sharp and dry . Luke growled and increased its power to remove the glass shards and restore your skin again. The boy's wings were covered in ashes and blood , making them sticky and impossibitando him to fly , yet he did not give up . Once reestablished their forces , Luke struck again with enthusiasm and blind hatred of treason, eating away inside.
  Soon , something weighs on your waist and emits a sound serious and quiet at the same time. Luke listened intently noise and remembered the dagger Grace had given him , but he was not very confident about the right time to use the weapon , since it would have only one chance to attack . Still, he could not ponder the matter at that time , since Lucifer was chasing him with violent blows and powers inegualáveis ​​.
- No use to escape , my boy - Lucifer hummed - Dad will soon find you .
  The general knew he could not hide among the trees for a long time. He was weak and Lucifer even had a scratch or showed up sick. The steps of the leader of Hell were coming and Luke gasped , her legs were apprehensive and ready to run again . However , he heard the opponent moving away slowly and the boy was lurking , straining his ears to know when they could come out of hiding .
  When heard no more in the footsteps of Lucifer, he scampered in the shadows following the tracks of the enemy with the dagger prepared for a quick and deadly blow . Luke was getting tired of that game of cat and mouse , and decided to put an end on it, but he knew better than anyone that Lucifer would never miss the cache and it was only a matter of time for the trap of the enemy to reveal itself.
   'Bury the dagger in the heart dark and corrupted Lucifer ' , this is what Grace said .
- As if it were an easy task to do. - Luke muttered to himself as he walked cautiously around the palace in search of the emperor of the underworld .

†

   Luke walked for a while with keen senses until he saw a shadow creeping quickly and elegantly . His wings fluttered down and stood up , indicating danger nearby . He followed the shadow from a safe distance to the interior of the palace again.
  The shadow stopped suddenly and stood before the throne of Lucifer . Earlier , Luke was in doubt about what to do , but when he saw the face of the emperor , out of the shadows and attacked lightning fast , nailing the dagger in the back of the opponent .
- But what is it?
  Black tentacles rose and involved members of Luke with force , hindering their movements and making the knife slipping away from his grasp.
- Do you really think I could eliminate that easy , Luke ? - Lucifer smiled triumphantly and cynical - I already said that you will not be able to eliminate me . Now that ekstasis is in hell , it is only a matter of time for me to absorb all the power is in her body . Now you will pay for betraying their race .
  Luke swallowed hard , but did not lose the arrogance .
- I did not betray my race ! You should know better than anyone that I was tempted to turn me into what I am today. I'm still a human being and nothing will change that ! You chose me by choice , I never asked to be your son !
  Lucifer looked deep into the boy's eyes and stared at him for a while , that was enough to let Luke uncomfortable. The Emperor shook his head in disgust and disapproval and finally said , in a melancholy voice :
- It really is a waste . You're a guy who would have a bright future in Hell , however, your last human cell spoke louder and you helped Castiel , which is unforgivable . Also, you fumbled the ritual and talked me with arrogance. Luke , you have committed the worst sins that a demon could have done and now , that dagger is YOUR ticket to eternal punishment , unless ... Ah ! But of course ! When the girl gets here , you will have the honor of killing her .
  Luke opened a half smirk .
- Enma is far from your filthy hands , Lucifer.
- No, no ... You did not know? Victoria captured her and everything is in my favor . Furthermore , the archangels will soon try to rescue her and they will also suffer, as well as the entire Order .

† XXIII. αℓℓ ƒσя σηє †

  Ethan carried Enma in the arms and tried to reach the portal with his partner archangel, Castiel . The more we neared the exit, but she seemed distant . Maybe it was a spell of Lucifer , maybe they were getting weaker by the great power of the shadows there. If you do not come out of there as soon as possible , not just the host of Ravenna Edwards , but also heaven and earth would be lost forever in a sea of hatred , greed and tyranny.
  The exit was right there , however , the energy that kept open was disappearing very rapidly , because the energy of Lucifer was fading Area to focus only on the castle , which was where the final conflict happen . Ethan and his friend were crossing the exit , a silver chain oxidized lightly gripped the ankles of both archangels , which began to be dragged back to Hell . They tried to resist and break the acorrentes , however do not get any success , because as they used their power of light to escape , the current absorbed that power and became even stronger .

†

   Victoria was leading a faction of demons large and carried a semblance of contentment , since victory was certain and all who were in Hell is strengthened by the fact ekstasis be deep . Therefore , Lucifer would be proud of the success that the mission would have .
- You think you can hold us to these currents ridiculous ?
- Ethan , shut up - Castiel hissed - You will only make things worse .
  The leader of the soldiers archangels demons looked with satisfaction and arrogance as he ordered a soldier to take arms Enma Archangel blonde , who had their walls of resistance completely solidified . Ethan was able to use a fragment of the power he had left to make some demons from turning into ashes . However , he soon lost the strength and collapsed to his knees .
- Idiot . If his strength was the size of your stubbornness , you certainly could have eliminated my army . - She held her chin Ethan so austere - but you could not do that . Now the girl is ours, and you will suffer for eternity as an example to all those who try to defy the orders of the Emperor our going forward .
  Castiel broke the chains that bound him and Victoria knocked down brutally. The two exchanged blows while hostile raised infertile soil dust , obstructing the view of others. Seizing the chance , the soldiers advanced on Ethan and took the girl in a matter of seconds because he was very weak and unable even to move. The chains tightened her body , cutting her skin and causing serious injury , which bled profusely. The air escaped from his lungs and his vision was blurred , he could see the entato when reinforcements arrived .
  Archangels of the Order came to Hell Luke opened the portal . Haley took the frontline , using their pure light and gold to obfuscate the sight demons, Daniel appeared like lightning , and with only one song in Latin, the shadow creatures had their bodies consumed by flames gold color and pearly blue , turning into little piles of ash that were carried by the wind ; Nora carrying a bag with something that could restore the strength of the other two members of the archangels faccção most feared by both as Hell by Heaven
  A bitter amber liquid down the throat of Ethan , making him choke and retrieve vital signs in seconds .
- What is this thing ?
- It is called the Flower of Light and help turn the light of heaven in archangels that are designed to fulfill missions in this place .
  Castiel was still facing Victoria , but he was lagging behind . The force that was accumulated inside it disappeared and the archangel was in trouble . Daniel interfiriu but Victoria fled before he could be affected by the power of the leader of the Order . Nora gave him a bottle of Flor de Luz and he had the same reaction that Ethan had. First , grimaced , but was soon active again .
- You must run , the run is running out and if it is not carried to Earth in time, all that our Father created will be destroyed .
  The duo assentirau archangels and they both departed towards the castle of Lucifer , which would be the tomb of the Emperor Enma and the pedestal of Hell . Time was short and they had no time to lose . Archangels of the Order disappeared and left Jade in charge of observing what was happening and interfirir when necessary.

† XXII. ℓ χ ℓ - ℓυ¢ιƒєя αgαιηѕт ℓυкє †

The crowd was getting rid of demons within the domains of Lucifer once the conflict between Luke and the two leaders began in earnest , the subjects have to feel terrorized the aggressive energies that came from the Emperor and General . The atmosphere was dense and the tension was noticeable. The silence between them was mortal , but Luke could hear growling .
  Klaus and the boy walked in circles around the room , which was now completely deserted . They both stared menacingly and Luke controlled his nerves not to attack first. If there was something he learned useful with demons was never take the first bid if you come after losses ; bid only when luck is in your favor . The Daath was impatient and sweat trickled down his forehead , as the tension and the fact they are just walking around like cat and mouse were leaving the imapciente and infuriated early. Lucifer was enjoying every movement on his throne , confident that the archangels not return to Earth and the adoptive child would be ruined him there, after Klaus , of course .
  The true intentions of Lucifer would materialize soon. Enma would be back without a doubt and that confrontation soon end with both parties destroyed . Luke destroy the Daath as his ' partner ' Klaus destroy the demon general . Therefore , the covenant that held the Emperor of Hell those useless and disposable Daaths would be broken and he would not need to give the power that nothing could for them .
- Are you afraid of me , little boy?
  Luke did not answer . He was careful to observe the details of the hall to outline an effective plan , so that fight would not last more than a few seconds. Klaus moved forward like a bull on the enemy and the devil jumped over him with feline grace and speed , making crude fall on some statues porcelain gray . His eyes were blazing with anger and Klaus attacked Luke again , but this time he was armed with an ax hanging on the wall.
- I'll slice you , demon !
  The demon smiled so provocative and prepared for a quick move . Feet away and leaned forward , his eyes focused on the Crimson 's next move Daath .
- Come try Herath .
- We'll see how long you will continue smug brat . - He turned to the emperor - Your boy is somewhat convinced, do not you think ?
- If that bothers you so much , my dear Klaus , I suggest you go ahead . Luke is no longer a child and therefore no longer depends on my protection .
  Klaus raised the ax and invested a single blow to the opponent , who had not moved before the blade of the weapon being millimeters from your head .
  Luke disarmed the Daath with a kick to the enemy , who left the ax fall on the other side of the hall . The opportunity was unique and the demon grabbed the gun quickly abandoned and struck a blow at the base of the neck Klaus , leaving him shudder and writhe on the floor black.
- I see that you are still smart and fast , my son , but we'll see when. You know very well that luck will smile to you now , is not it? I'll give you one more chance to redeem himself this betrayal and allow you to bring the girl back to prove their new loyalty oaths .
  The demon laughed wryly and narrowed her eyes red .
- I will not make the same mistake twice. Demons never rectify , unless it is to their ruler , remember? I do not have a ruler and never had .
  Lucifer stretched his mighty wings and bristled forward , making them look bigger than they already were . He took off the mask and let his features were visible for the first time . During all those years , Luke had never seen the face of the emperor and this encouraged him to attack , because now he could see that kind of face was hidden behind those black masks and inexpressive . Silver hair with black reflections fell until the shoulder height of the supreme demons , framing the face thinner , which supported a slightly pointed chin , the extremely white skin as gypsum , nose drawn with delicacy and harmony and eyes that no one has then had a chance to look , eyes that sentenciavam all souls to eternal suffering and intimidating . Were pearly and earned a gray shadow when he came near the vitreous humor and the pupil. The top and bottom of his eyes were softly outlined in black , which marked the intimidating air , austere and respectable. Anyone looking at it would say that Lucifer would not have more than nineteen years old man, however , he was much more than that.
  Luke was amazed to see that the leader of Hell was so well maintained and looks incredibly young . He knew that his adoptive father withdrew the power of the souls that were sent to him, but this phenomenon was indeed breathtaking .
- Startled by the appearance of your emperor, Luke ?
- I admit that yes , because I never expected such a youthful appearance for being like you .
  Lucifer smiled arrogantly and removed the black cloak , revealing clothes with military style dark gray .
  The young general estralou fingers and lengthened muscles , preparing for a big and exhausting confrontation. He took off his leather jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves to the elbows social gray . Both analyzing the movements from one another in detail.
  Luke had no alternative but to make the first move and invest an attack against Lucifer. The general used the ability to multiply its appearance through the shadows to apply a blow in the back , so try to figure out what would be the greatest weakness of the Emperor of Hell .

† XXI. вєтяαуαℓ †

  - Where it led ? Spit it out , damn !

  Luke was impatient and struck a blow in general , bent over trying to pick up oxygen, which persisted in escaping from his lungs . The archangels tried to detect the presence of Enma by one of those paths , but found nothing to help them . The demon was frustrated and when I finally stopped to think , he felt a sharp twinge of pain in his temples , which was a result of the restless energy of the demons that were in the hall . So that was it . Enma was already near the hall . Every second counted from now and they already knew which path to follow.

†

    Enma was beside Lucifer, having every move analyzed by seizure of demons and the hope of Daaths . She was facing a rectangular stone made ​​of black marble and gleaming . Her face was still covered by the hood of his black cloak and this prevented all to see the tears escape from her eyes . She stared at the crowd looking for a friendly face and name , but found no one . Luke was not even there at the time so she could help. That same skeletal Daath left her in the care of Klaus and joined his companions . Some demons appeared covered with violet velvet robes and prepared the altar with a sort of gray water and one cup along with a silver dagger studded with amethysts and topazes that was extremely sharp in a tray , which was in the custody of one of the hooded demons that was short and stocky . A woman , who was wearing a dark blue robe , drew marks on his face and arms Enma with purple ink and then led her to the marble altar , where she lay down and closed his eyes , waiting for your order .

  Lucifer stood before the altar and took the leather glove he wore on his right hand and held the dagger pointed at the girl's chest . The demons had their eyes wide with hope and excitement just waiting for the big moment . The Emperor of Hell looked up and uttered something like a chant in Latin.

- Daemones est autem dominabitur . Effundetur et sanguis , et omnes furorem meum Ponam inimicos . Caelum et cadet land peribunt : infernus et est verum et lege .

  The ground began to shake before each sentence , which together formed a prophecy , which translated would be like this: " Demons are the rule . And the blood shall be shed , and my wrath will make all thine enemies . Heaven and earth shall fall they shall perish; and hell is the truth and the law . " .

  

†

  They were very close to where Lucifer was and the words sung by him laim reached the ears of Luke , who gritted his teeth and ordered his legs ran faster. Archangels also heard but did not understand what that meant , so only quickened their pace to reach Luke , who was coming up the opening through which they entered .

   Lucifer was the end of the song and the dagger prepared for the blow of victory . To sing the last four words , the dagger was buried in the heart of Enma quickly. She , in turn , not thrashed and even felt pain , because the atmosphere of the place that was loaded by the evil power of Lucifer weakened the soul of the girl and made her lose consciousness . A demon vassal handed to the sovereign a new dagger , which was used to cut the length of the girl's forearm , causing a trickle of blood ooze wine color to the chalice.

   No one expected it, the cup was thrown away , spilling the blood of Enma the hall . Demons and Daaths gaped and amazed , looking for the person who interrupted the ritual . At first , saw nothing , but then the figure of a tall , dark-haired and crimson eyes appeared in front of Lucifer.

- So to say that the traitor decided to return home ?

- No. We're here to take Enma .

- ' We ' ? So the archangels managed to enter ? I'm surprised nobody in this hall have noticed their presence .

  Castiel Ethan appeared and then take away the ashes that covered the brightness of its wings and preparing to take Enma there, but some soldiers appeared with weapons drawn , preventing their escape . Archangels stood motionless , waiting for the next move of Luke , however , the devil was busy looking fend off fierce attacks of Lucifer and Klaus , who had more skill than him.

- What are you waiting for? Take Enma here !

- But ...

   Luke snorted , dissatisfied and used a mind trick on opponents and used a fraction of its energy to destroy the soldiers , allowing the passage of the archangels . Castiel stopped and stared at the demon.

- Sure you will get to realize them alone?

- You 've seen how I am ? - Luke smiled , opened his arms and spread his wings - I'm fine , realize them with his hands tied behind his back . Now go before the passage to Earth disappear . Return there soon.

  The three boys crept through the crowd of demons who were agitated with the pronouncement that Lucifer would soon. The archangels followed Luke disguised as quickly as they could, taking advantage that all eyes were on the way to first-class General Luke . Several whispers could be heard and bustle of demons increased further .
  They went through all the immense hall to find a varnished wooden door that was hidden behind the throne studded with gems of Lucifer . There was nothing he could handle and provide support for them to open the door . Tried to push , but without success .
  Impatient , Luke kicked the door, that princípo seemed to have withstood the blow , but soon fell apart and left up a narrow hallway , dark and dusty . The archangels and the demon walked down that aisle , it looked like a endless maze . As they neared the end of the maze , the archangels shuddered as they realized they were entering a large and frightening catacomb , which contained the remains of the archangels Lucifer tried to bring back to reason and also had the carcasses of the demons who have betrayed Emperor of Hell . It was also the place where Enma was arrested but that they still did not know .

†

- It's time, girl.
- I'm not leaving .
  Enma was taken from his cell by General with extreme violence and delivered to a high Daath as a stick and Skeletal that led to where the show would start . Before , Enma was obliged to wear a black velvet cloak with large hood that covered almost her entire face except for the chin and mouth .

†

  The demons were euphoric when Lucifer appeared before them with the same grandeur and obscurity ever. The face was covered by a black mask and gold , a black cloak covering the entire body of the Emperor and the wings were huge and menacing closed behind him . Klaus was beside him , with a huge smile of satisfaction as all Daaths who were among the sea of ​​demons in the hall of the castle gloomy .
- My dear demons - the gravelly voice of Lucifer made ​​everyone be silent immediately - Finally the big day arrived and we have what is rightfully ours and we were so often played on Earth . Thanks to help from partners nosos Daaths , maximum power is in our world and will soon be above all.
  Some demons whispered trying to understand what was happening , but fell silent when Lucifer continued .
- Ekstasis is in my power and in a few minutes the ritual begin. Calm down , my vassals ! Spare your energy for what comes next , because in less than an hour we are who we make laws ! All will be under our command ! - Lucifer spread his wings when he exclaimed , which made his vassals twitch and admire the image of the ruler of the underworld .
- And as to what was agreed? - Klaus was impatient and showed their irritability .
- I have not forgotten the combo - Lucifer continued coolly - When this is over , I will give you half of this power so that they can dominate the sky and take revenge of him that drove them from there.
  Klaus smiled , satisfied and soon Daaths expressed their joy and satisfaction. Lucifer sat on the throne as he watched the servants prepare everything for the final rite , where all the power was granted to ekstasis would be transferred to him in a heartbeat.

  Enma wept for the death of Crystal as the leader of the rare Daaths took her away from Oxford . The buildings trembled every step he took , like an earthquake. Klaus was getting impatient with the crying girl and used one of his claws to make a cut at the base of her neck , which would be the entrance to the powerful poison that creature had the body and Enma did fall asleep , ending the noise that tormented .

  When they reached the city limits , Klaus opened his wings hard and wrinkled , that seemed to be made ​​of stone and entered the portal that was later , so that he could meet his ' boss ' .

†

  Archangels and Luke flew as fast as he could to prevent the dark plans of Klaus and the adoptive father of Luke . The trail of destruction that left Daath facilitated the persecution of three boys .

  A few yards away , a light purplish tone drew their attention . Luke stiffened up and ordered his wings chattering as soon as possible . Both angels looked at each other and realized that they also should not rush .

  When they were reaching the light , a cloud of Daaths advancing toward the three , who were forced to return to the ground . They were on the outskirts of the city and completely surrounded , and the proportion was ten Daaths for each boy . Luke estralou your fingers and walked with determination and ferocity , knocking some of Daaths in seconds . Ethan and Castiel began to help , but the battle was a truce when Victoria appeared and landed a punch on Luke .

- Damn , why did you do that?

- I have clear orders of Lucifer and will not let you come to the portal .

  Luke growled and his body shook with anger and a grim and frightening force surrounded the demon's body . Canines appeared extremely sharp white and black eyes gained crimson . Wings , that were completely black , gray and gained some reflexes were larger than before , conveying fear and respect for him . Victoria took a few steps back and was amazed with the image of Luke in the current state .

- What happened to him ? - Ethan whispered to Castiel .

- It is the end of the transformation of demon . Now he is a demon general first class and that is just one degree below the power of Lucifer.

  The anger and the desire to save Enma has made the true power of Luke awoke at once , causing this great transformation. The Daaths retreated in fear , but the demon did not miss the opportunity and launched a powerful attack against them , knocking them in seconds . Victoria disappeared into the attack and the portal was presetes disappearing .

  Castiel felt tears invade his eyes and he knelt on the floor , pounding the ground with sorrow and sadness .

- No! No! No!

  Ethan did not know how to comfort his friend and just stood there , watching the new restlessness Luke , who disappeared and reappeared frequently through the trees , clearly looking for something. After walking to and fro , he found what he wanted and drew a pentagram silver neck . Soon , a light shade of the same portal appeared .

- Let's hurry . The energy that Lucifer sent to Klaus open the portal is disappearing . We have a few seconds .

  Castiel stood up and followed the others into the portal , where there they plunged in vacuum and in the dark. Luke knew which path should be followed and the archangels followed until they reached at a gate with thick bars painted black and with a peculiar lock . The demon took the keys from his overcoat pocket , but none served in the lock . Lucifer exchanged keys to prevent the boy back .

  The three flew over the wall and glided silently to the strength of the leader of the demons and where there was a large crowd of demons coming and going all the time .

- I think you two better camouflage their wings with the ashes here, otherwise we will have big problems to go through all these people .

  The archangels nodded and covered the silver color and peach color of their wings with a thick layer of ash . Luke played for them two hooded black robes and put them in order to hide their faces .

†

  Enma was in a cell guarded by a demon general second class and severe cold that left no noise or shadow pass unnoticed by him .

- Shut up , girl!

  The girl shrank further and trying to stifle the sobs of pain and sadness that came from his heart , he was bitter at being forced to serve the whims of Lucifer the rest of his life. She looked at all the corners of the cell , but there was nothing that offered support for a possible leak . All would be lost .

† XVIII. ¢нαℓℓєηgє †

  Castiel through the window of a house and slammed against the wall of a room that was dark and there was nobody there. He stood leaning on furniture to reestablish equiíbrio and felt his back and shoulders sting unbearably . The shards of window glass were buried in the flesh of the boy and let the blood drain.

  The door opened slowly and a high silhouette and family on the lights .

- I do not believe it ! What is the matter with you , archangels ? A demon also need privacy !

  Luke was angry with the second invasion of archangels at his house in less than a few months . To traverse the eyes across the room , he saw the situation in which the window is in and the shards of glass in the body of the attacker.

- Ah , have patience ! Now I have to fix the damn window? ! For me that's enough , that was the straw .

- The fault was not mine. Klaus threw me violently here.

  The demon stood grimly at the name of the leader Daath and kept his eyes fixed on the Archangel , waiting for him to finish the counting what had happened and feeling the anger growing within him so devastating . Luke left the room and went to another , where he meditated to achieve connection with Lucifer .

' Can you explain for what reason Klaus is involved? '

' My son , all the reinforcement is little, do not you think ? '

' I had care of everything and then would win this race . The Daath is the last that I thought you would trust to do this . We know what their intentions are and you really think they will be honest ? This is ridiculous ! '

' Luke , time runs against us, especially after you've faltered and let the archangels would have a connection with her and then you helped in the fight against Castiel Hareton . I never really trusted you for this, you were just my top, but even in this role you proved incapable. You might even still be a demon, but I do not appreciate more their skills . '

  Luke was eroding of anger and revenge when he finished the conversation with the Emperor of Hell . He came downstairs and announced to the archangel with a lot of bitterness something he never thought he would say in his life .

- Hurry up , Enma not have much time and need to prevent it go to the claws of Lucifer .

  Castiel 's eyes widened and lost his speech , but the astonished gaze he cast the demon expressly left to clear the surprise and doubt those words .

- That's right . I'm on your side . Lucifer deceived me and I was just using me to keep Enma away from you two . - Luke clenched his fists - My soul demonic requires the coldest and the cruel revenge .

  The two went to where he lived intermediate and Castiel called Ethan for the latest news . Once all were assembled , the archangel golden eyes turned once the kidnapping of Enma , which reached to the other like a bucket of ice water . Ethan shuddered and opened his wings , eyes flashing anger and resentment .

- Grab - to intermediate handed Luke a dagger gold - imagine the pain of betrayal is destroying you and so you can just kill Lúficer with this weapon . Bury it deep in the heart black and corrupted him . But be careful , you can use only once and this dagger can destroy you too , as this is done only in light of the archangels and can put an end to any demon .

  Luke nodded and soon joined the others in a flutter of wings and fierce decided that shook the branches that were stricter there. The moonlight illuminated the silhouettes of three boys , who were heading to where Enma was being taken . At that time , angels and demons teamed up to save the girl who holds the power and balance within her from the clutches of Lucifer and Klaus forever. A major turnaround was about to happen .

† XVII. кℓαυѕ нєяαтн †

  Castiel was still on the roof waiting for contact Grace . Millions of thoughts took his mind like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces do not join insisted on . Something was wrong this time, Daath never interfiriram during all these centuries , so why were they doing it now ? First Hareton , now antipathy father Enma . What was happening ? If they really roam looking for a place where they can live as Luke said , that the girl would have to do with it ?

- Castiel ?

  Enma was looking for when he heard a noise on the roof and sees his shadow with outspread wings designed the garden . Archangel leaves his post and brings the girl to the roof with him .

- What are you doing here ?

- I'm thinking of a few things .

- If the hostility is my father not to worry . He always has. It's getting worse with age , but you soon get used to it .

  Castiel looks away to the girl and shakes his head in disapproval .

- No. There is something more .

  The phone rang Archangel . It was Grace who after knowing all through Ethan returned with a response unsatisfactory. Castiel 's features changed abruptly as heard every information courtesy intermediate . Archangel got worried and was leaving Enma apreeensiva . When turning off the phone, he lligou for Ethan and heard all that his companion had to say , and at the end of the call , looked at the girl with concern and terror .

- Castiel , what happened ?

  When Archangel started to speak , Jhon appeared where they were with the appearance unrecognizable. Hair that was once well-cut and slightly graying turned up and got a little down from the shoulders and the color changed to a silvery intense . The left eye was no longer brown and won the red color and the right won the emerald green color . His stature has changed , as well as your muscle mass . He became double what it was and it freaked Enma , who sought refuge from the arms of the archangel .

- Give me the girl , his archangel failed. - His voice was much more serious and husky , showing aggressiveness he kept inside him .

  Castiel held Enma in his arms and began to fly as fast as he could , but the creature was faster and caught the couple with one hand and laughed bitterly.

- Do you think you are dealing with those , boy? I am the leader of Daaths and you can not beat me alone.

- I know very well who you are , Klaus . His legion and you are outnumbered by the archangels and demons and all this does not concern you , then why are you interfirindo this era ?

- I have my reasons and I promised I would not say anything to any of you.

  He separated Enma and brutally archangel Castiel and launched into the air as if he were just a paper airplane in the wind and took the girl with him .

- And my mother ? What did you do with her ?

  Klaus looked at the girl and showed her sharp teeth and yellow for her .

- Crystal is dead .

† XVI. ¢αяє †

- Well , Luke , stop this nonsense of a child !
  Grace was going crazy with the teasing of Luke , however , the nurse was an intermediate kind woman and liked the boys who were in the infirmary as if they were her children .
- Come on , Grace , have long since you do not make a visit .
- Do not touch that , boy .
  The nurse took the bottle that was in the hands of the devil and pasted a tape on the forehead of the boy . He , in turn , smiled as there was not time to work and saw Grace nimbly suture the wounds of the archangel Castiel . This made ​​several grimaces of pain and then when the woman applied local anesthetic that had a strong smell of something he could not say precisely what the pain was gone.
- There you go , my good boy . Just do not meddle with Daath again , ok ?
  Castiel nodded and ready lavantou litter feeling better and partially recovered, but before he reached the exit door , Ethan was being dragged by Enma far. When he was injured, the girl pulled her hand Archangel blond and ran to see what state Castiel was.
- I'm better now , do not worry .
  Ethan approached Luke .
- What was that ?
- Simple, just one of those insects Daath .
- A what ?
  Luke snorted .
- In short : it is a creature that does not fit in any class. Are just annoyances that appear when convenient to them , nothing to worry about , trust me .
  The demon straightened the collar of his jacket and left the infirmary , because seeing how Enma was worried about Castiel 's wounds made ​​him sick , he also had their quotas to achieve dark and he could not waste time with pointless conversations with Archangels because he had a mission to complete and that Lucifer would put pressure on it would be extremely unbearable.
  Before he went through the door , Enma was toward him and thanked him kindly for Luke have helped Castiel . The devil smiled and left the shadows slightly .

†

  Enma proposed to ask the parents to leave Castiel spend the weekend at her house until it fully heal from injuries . At first , the girl's father did not appreciate the idea , but felt indebted to him for the boy have been hurt in return to protect his daughter .
  The mansion Roberts was early in the high class neighborhood , two blocks from the main avenue . It was one of the most elegant and traditional mansions , painted with cream-colored and silver-plated doors , with a manicured garden and a small fountain where birds sometimes used as a bath . When they arrived , the Honda Civic Black Her mother was in the garage and out of the house you could feel the smell of homemade cookies .
- We , mother .
  Lady Crystal was in the kitchen humming a happy tune when he hears his daughter and goes into the living room where Castiel gets sympathetically , which was unexpected for a woman so busy and famous like her, who seemed at that moment as an ordinary housewife .
- It is a pleasure to know , Mrs. Roberts .
- Do not need much formality can call me Crystal . By the way , the cookies are ready , I hope you like chocolate chips . Enma loves , not , daughter?
- Mother !
  Crystal smiled and went back to the kitchen to take the cookies from the oven .
  Meanwhile , the girl's father kept his silver Honda City garage . When he crossed the front door , ran into the kitchen and family together with Castiel carrying a single suitcase to the room that Enma had indicated.
- Good afternoon , Mr. Roberts . - Castiel smiled sympathetically despite the shock.
  Dr. Jhon mumbled something , but did not respond to compliance with the guy who was coming down the stairs . He approached Enma and whispered something that only she could hear.
- But Dad , what's your problem with it ?
- I will not waste my time with him .
   Enma stared icily her father and left the kitchen dissatisfied , for she knew that something was not told Jhon .

†

   Castiel was sitting on the roof of the house of Roberts overnight . The anesthetic had lost and the effect his wounds ached unbearably . Besides, what else was left the Archangel frustrated knowing that his injuries would take days to heal , because once a Daath can injure a non-human being , injuries take weeks to heal .
  Another thing that bothered him was the hostility of the father Enma and sinister energy coming from him . There was characteristic of a human whatsoever. Somehow , that antipathy was not by chance. There was something deeper in there and he needed to figure out what it was. He texted Ethan stating the situation and asking him to get in touch with Grace .

† XV. υη∂єя ρяєѕѕυяє †

  Although the girl had agreed with the lightweight body due to travel back home in the arms of Castiel , she kept closed and lonely at school , but enjoying a happiness that only she felt and that there were no words to describe it . But all the joy it ended when a boy she had never seen before approached Enma , ignoring the icy gaze of Castiel , who was a few tables away from her . Archangel elbowed subtle Ethan , who took their concentration of chemistry books and looked slightly toward Castiel looked . For the archangel blonde , there was nothing much , however , to see his friend tense up and tighten the muscles of the jaw , which was clenched tightly, Ethan noticed something unusual that supposed mortal .

  Enma looked up with contempt to face the boy who was with his hands resting on the table where she was . He had eyes of different colors : the left was green as an emerald , and the right was gray like a rainy day. Her hair fell on his shoulders as black cascades , which left the boy even paler than it already was . Anyone looking for him , deduce that boy had never seen the sunlight .

- You're messing up my concentration , leave me alone .

- I'm sorry . Just thought you'd be feeling sad without a company.

- She is accompanied . - Castiel interfiriu , dragging Ethan , who vainly tried to hold his friend at the table .

- It's not what it seems . If you take care of it right , I would not be here , but now she is in good company .

  Castiel smiled tightly and clenched his fists .

- Do not be conceited , my dear colleague , now go back where you came from and do not you dare bother her again.

  Ethan grabbed the girl's arm and guided her discreetly out of the canteen as soon as he saw Castiel inflate the chest and his golden eyes faíscarem intensity against the enemy .

- Why you got me out ?

- Believe me, I do not want to see Castiel when he loses his temper . As much as it is the most peaceful and diplomatic Order of the archangels , his patience will not last long with guys like that guy .

  Soon , students began to leave the place hurriedly , some shaking with fear and other choking terrified screams .

- Hey , what did I miss? - Luke stopped near Archangel and Enma eyes shining with curiosity .

- I think you have not lost anything . If you want to go see , do not blame me for having taken the worst . Castiel is not in a good mood .

- Are you kidding ? - Luke smiled enthusiastically - You know what I am, so anything involving chaos is show for me, even more so because it is not every day that we see the all- correct archangel Castiel losing his composure , is not it?

  The demon entered the cafeteria to enjoy the spectacle , but froze when he saw what was happening .

  There was an object that was intact there. Everything was destroyed or reduced to ashes . Castiel had blood dripping from the corners of the mouth and a deep cut on his right cheek . The other boy was intact and well prepared to continue the fight .

- Hey , hey, hey - Luke interfiriu and grabbed the boy by the collar shirt colored eyes - Nobody beats him before me , mate . - The demon landed a punch to the face of another boy , leaving a bruise and throwing it against a wall .

  The boy stood up and put his hand to where Luke had struck him . Instead of blood, a liquid violet was beginning to leave the mouth.

- Damn , you think you're dealing with an ordinary human ?

- I know it and so I make sure to crush you slowly.

- Luke , know him?

  Luke looked at the boy and said briefly with contempt and indifference , as if everything were a bitter liquid that was crossing his throat slowly , leaving it increasingly nauseous .

- He is the worst kind of creature could exist . As they were expelled from Heaven by ambition and thirst for power, my father opened the door of darkness to it. I admit he seemed to have talent, but even Lucifer accepted in our home and expelled . Since then he wanders from one side to the other without having to live. But that bastard is getting what you deserve .

- This means that he is not like you or how Ethan and I ?

- Yes , but he is not an ordinary human . He is a Daath , which according to the Sephiroth of Kabbalah herbráica means ' abyss ' , which symbolizes the entrance to the exit to the life and death.

  Castiel nodded , remembering having seen a brief description of that race in the Scriptures.

- I thought they did not exist anymore.

- Not even the worst pests are completely extinguished the universe . Not really , Hareton ?

  Growled Hareton , more enraged than before and was attacked Luke , who caught him off guard and threw him against the window , shattering the glass and making Daath hit the head and back violently against the ground . He turned toward Castiel and offered support for the archangel to the infirmary soon after everyone returned to the rooms .

- This is between us , okay ? I do not want to think that I spent being nice . Also do not push your luck because of jealousy .

  Castiel did not answer . He barely had the strength to stand up and speak not help anything , however he had to speak up and stopped halfway .

- What is the problem ?

- You know that humans can not touch a archangel or any of us .

- But the person who is in the infirmary can .

  Archangel arched an eyebrow at the demon .

- You know the old nurse Grace Willeston ?

- Yes , but what does she have to do with this?

- It is an intermediate .

  They did not exchange another word after that until they reached the infirmary . Even after Grace dispense companion, Luke insisted on continuing there just for the pleasure of killing a classroom where he would have to share the air with Ethan Collins and also the satisfaction of harassing the old intermediate .

† XIV. яєνєℓαтισηѕ †

 Enma woke up in her room upset and confused , not knowing how out there and what happened . What else was left frustrated not remember the visions he had at the time of crises . There was something she did not understand , that was why everything happens only when Castiel was near or next to Ethan .

  She looked at the clock that was on the bedside table . Were eleven fifty-seven night . Enma looked down the hall and saw that his parents had fallen asleep and the house lights were completely erased , except for the lamp that was lit it . The girl was sitting on the bed still feeling the warm touch of Castiel in her body .

  Without having anything to do, she lay down on the bed and tried to sleep again , but sleep was completely out of her reach . After a while longer , she closed her eyes again and was falling asleep , but someone knocks on her window .

- What are you doing here ?

- Well , I have two reasons : the first is to see if you were okay .

- And the second ?

- I need you to trust me so that I can reveal the second reason .

  Enma Ethan looked at suspiciously , but remembering the good references that Castiel had over the blond boy , she just nodded and followed him to the porch of her bedroom window .

  Ethan was standing on the railing of the balcony and opened his arms . The girl wanted to stop him , thinking that the archangel was committing a suicidal act , yet he motioned for her to pull away and wait quietly. He jumped and she gasped desperately , but paused when he saw the magnificent wings peach color Ethan open up gently , preventing the fall of the boy. Enma gasped and came , completely enchanted by the white glow that gently emanva body Archangel . He allowed her to touch his wings , which caused him a feeling of well being shown.

- This is true?

  Ethan smiled and reached for her.

- Follow me and you will discover alone .

   Enma let Ethan hold her by the waist and lead her closer to the clouds , where the breeze touching your face with softness and gentleness . They were flying high enough that she could not see over his own house , and saw two people in a secluded grove facing them . She flinched and Ethan plunged in the air as far as the two figures were expecting .

  She descended from the embrace of the angel and saw that the two people who were just waiting for them and Castiel boy Luke , who was sitting in one of the branches of a tree .

- What is happening ? Why are you here ?

  None of them responded . Castiel took a step ahead and let the silver wings free themselves elegantly and steal the brightness of the moon , which overshadowed Enma 's vision for a few seconds , but then let it even more amazed and tempted to also play those silver wings , which were still softer than Ethan .

  Luke came down the tree and turned back to the girl, letting her see the black wings open up with vanity apparent and conveyed a dark energy that contrabalanceava the lights of the two archangels .

- You are ... angels ?

  The demon snorted and growled , unhappy to have been widespread in that classification. Dissatisfied , he flew gently until Enma and wrapped an arm around her shoulder .

- We're not all angels , little girl.

- What?

  Castiel looked at her companion Ethan and added:

- Castiel and I are angels , archangels and Luke actually is a demon .

  Enma froze and looked at length for each of the boys , is startling when Victoria came out of the shadows with his wings open wine color .

- This is Victoria , she is also a demon .

- But why are you here ? Why are revealing what is real for me ?

- Well , you are a descendant of the sister of Lucifer and our Father His soul is the guardian of the mortal and her name is Ravenna Edwards . For years and years that an archangel and a devil are tasked to convince you to go to one side .

- And I 'm special?

- Remember what you saw in their crises and you will know .

  Enma closed his eyes and concentrated . Unexpectedly , all the memories came back to her clear and complete , no more in the form of fragments , and when she saw Theo , her first older brother and Lucifer , his second brother talked about what each one would do after the Creation.

- So the time has come , is not it?

- Yes , and this time you can not postpone your choice . It's Heaven or Hell .

- But take it easy - Castiel interfiriu - You still have a few more days to think about, but your answer has to be given before their eighteenth birthday .

- Until then you will have to endure a little longer.

  Enma nodded and smiled as she now remembered each of them and knew who he really was . She understood why everything is happening like that in her life , but was saddened when he thought he would have to leave her parents and they would have to abandon her life in the mortal world to be able to satisfy the thirst for power of one side , she still did not know what . Much as Heaven would choose the most correct option for her at the same time did not seem as even hell being a place so avoided , might need more help . Anyway , she still had time to think and decide .

- Want to fly a bit ?

- She looks tired .

- I'm ... - She gave a yawn unwanted - ... I'm fine .

- I'll leave it to you , pal.

- Ethan , you know ...

- Come on , she likes you a lot and think it will be a good opportunity for you to be together. - Ethan winked and flew away , followed by the demons , who flew in the opposite direction .

  Castiel involved the girl's waist with one hand and with the other held it , settling it in a gentle way against his chest . Enma rested her head in the space between his shoulder and his neck , letting out a small sigh of happiness .

- Let's take off now .

  Silvery wings Castiel knocked softly , as if they were singing a lullaby to the girl .

- Castiel ...

- Yes ? - He put her closer to him .

- I just want to say I'm glad you're here .

  He smiled contentedly and kissed the top of her head gently .

- I'm even happier to realize one thing ...

- What?

- I never imagined that one day I could fill the void that exists inside me , but when I'm around you , I feel like ...

- ... As if you were my other half gone, the only person who completes me in this world .

  Castiel pulled away gently with sad eyes and Enma , realizing leaned closer and whispered in his ear a brief apology .

- It is not your fault . It's that every time I touch you this way , I feel the most intense urge to touch her ​​lips , however , if I do it just once for just a split second , his soul will be exiled in eternal void suffering from torture Beelzebub , one of the worst set of Lucifer . Furthermore , tenhos other reasons why you do not suffer with me .

  Enma kissed her cheek and cuddled up in the arms of the archangel as sleep had arrived and kept fighting to stay alert and awake.

  When they arrived at the home of Roberts , the archangel Castiel put the girl tenderly in bed and covered . Before leaving , he stared for a moment and he saw how she looked like the beloved Archangel : a deadly Danielle .

  However , even if Enma not arouse the same ardor and passion inside him as Danielle awoke the archangel knew that the girl was only able to fill part of the void he felt and end part of the sadness that overwhelmed him completely. But the obstacle between them was greater than his power to break it , because the love between an angel and a mortal always involves the greatest suffering : death , isolation and loneliness .

- Good evening , my beloved Enma Roberts .

  She sighed as she heard her name being pronounced so so kind and passionate as the way Castiel said . So the death of Andrew passed in the background , because there was someone who could share with her the same thoughts and the same memories , especially now that she remembered everything and everyone . Castiel could make her think better because he always understand and that was one of the major motivations that induced choose heaven However , something deep in your soul.

†XIII. ¢συηт∂σωη †

    Castiel returned to the mortal world so he felt Enma move in his arms , stopping her seizures and returning to normal . The boy kept the wings as quickly as he could and put the girl standing on the ground , it still could not stand up alone .

- Feel better ?

- I think so . Thank you.

- Can you stand ?

  Enma tried to support himself standing alone , but to look up where Luke was , the girl lost consciousness again and had his vision taken by the shadows and fell into the arms of Castiel again . Archangel grabbed it quickly and growled at the demon smiled sarcastically and disappeared mysteriously .

  Castiel carried the girl in his arms by the college to find Ethan , who was leaving for the front yard of the school . Seeing the girl unconscious again and a quick exchange of glances , the archangel blond soon realized that Luke had finger that story again .

- Take the child to the hospital . Her father is working there today .

- And you ? Where are you?

- I 'm coming for Luke . I have something I want to get clean and to be with him now .

  Before Ethan could protest or say something , Castiel took the silver sedan in the parking lot and followed the bike Luke to a wooded wilderness and far away from the city . Soon, the demon stopped and waited at the entrance by the archangel of the woods .

  Castiel got out and followed the enemy for some time before he could reach him and grabbed his right shoulder , turning him firmly.

- As you have access to everything ?

- I do not know what you 're talking about, my dear friend .

- Do not be a fool! How can you make Enma have those crises and have some vision of her previous lives ?

  Luke gave a half smile .

- Is not I who do it . When there is a clash between my energy and one of you two archangels in the innermost depths of the heart and her memories are revived in fragments in her mind . And believe me, if it were not for her power she would have died later that day.

- I know that. But how can I trust you ?

- If she dies there will be benefit to me , so I intend to keep it alive .

  The demon looked at the crows flying above them and grinned , opening the black wings behind and taking off in a cloud of black feathers .

- I think you should be more careful with what you think , Castiel . If you chase me again I 'll take the girl mercilessly . I just do not do it because I want to have fun with you two .

  Castiel closed his eyes and meditated on his conversation with Luke and redid the calculations calmly at that time became the celestial human time and Archangel realized he was mistaken . They had only one month ahead and the new moon was in the beginning , which meant that the time had come and would still happen that night , when the moon was at the top of the sky .

  Three souls were gathered in the vacuum of the universe , before the creation of the Earth and other planets extiem today. One person was Edwards Ravenna , which was distant from the other two men debating some important matter , to judge by the expression of one of them .

  Castiel realized the distraction of the three present and risked it a little closer and soon could hear the cries of one of the boys , who had dark hair and eyes the color of the color of fire .

- And for what reason you have to have absolute power over mortals to come?

- Why do none of you have impartial stance and maturity to it , and I was the oldest of us is my duty to occupy this post.

  Lucifer cursed for a while , until Ravenna interfiriu diplomatically .

- Theos has reason and you can not dispute , Lucifer. You , being the second most wise, should understand and support this decision without complaint . In addition , you will also have the fear of mortals and respect them for eternity .

  Lucifer replied . Just growled and turned away sharply brothers . Ravenna turned to his brother Theos , who accompanied the movements of Lucifer with compassion in his eyes.

- What about me ? What is my role ? If Lucifer owns the underworld , responsible for punishing those who disobey the law and you, Theos , is the one who will forgive them and try them after creation, what role I have to play ?

- Ravenna , you will have the task of balancing the beliefs of mortals in relation to heaven , the angels and me and the belief they have in Lucifer , demons and hell .

- But how will I balance the beliefs ? They are many , I can not speak to each in turn .

  Théos smiled to comfort the doubt and vexation of Ravenna and continued calmly :

- You do not need to talk to them because you will be among them, and be one of them , however you can see their souls and know precisely what they believe more and it will one of the stronger sides . Therefore , you are neutral in this situation , but soon his decision will be charged and it will bring the most important force for both sides . You will be a key part of that will be known as ekstasis .

   Then all became clear to Castiel . Enma was the source of infinite power and true for both sides and the moment she choose Heaven and Hell come . But even then it still was not clear . For what reason an angel and a demon would have to compete for her affections ? Why die when she turned eighteen ?

  He saw another slot not far from him and he dove , encountering some incarnations after Ravenna Edwards .

   Was a girl of curly blond hair and blue eyes who lived in Germany . She called Nadja and lived with his family in a poor neighborhood on the southern tip of the country . The father was a farmer and his mother worked as a seamstress .

  November 17, 1843 . This date was when Nadja turned eighteen and met the son of a family friend who was the same age her. It was a silver-eyed blond boy that his name was Peter .

  That day was also the day she met another traveler boy black hair and violet eyes and called Richard who was present at the celebration of her eighteen years. All were very happy in the small birthday party, but then the boys surrounded her when she was alone and waited for her response .

- I do not want either of you nor credit on neither side . What I want is to stay with the only boy that I love and his name is Stephan .

  At that moment the girl was engaged by the powers of both sides and disappeared .

- Archangels and Demons - the Creator's voice echoed like thunder in the sky - Lucifer and I went on a consensus and decided that every seventeen years a representative from each side should presuadir and find the soul of Ravenna so she joins an Laws and bring the absolute power to Heaven or Hell . She has no more freedom of choice and can no longer have eternal life . So when you go to Earth time moves against you .

  As the days passed , Ethan realized that the relationship between Castiel and deadly companion Enma was different. They do not talk anymore and avoided frequent the same places at the same time . Castiel was melancholy and rarely spoke something and hardly answer questions from other people , because he was always immersed in deep thoughts that were his golden eyes lose their luster.

- Hey , what happened between you two , Castiel ?

- The truth is out and nothing else matters now .

- What truth ? What are you talking about?

- Well , summarizing the opera : Enma was always close to me because I looked like her boyfriend who died , and she tried to see me as a perfect substitute , not to disturb her life I became disenchanted addition to telling about Danielle and how to react after her loss , but Enma judged me a monster for even trying to live with this hole in my chest .

- Ah . So do not play it anymore , but she will understand your point of view and will change . She will remember everything , will choose our side and you can be friends again .

- I think not . Well , anyway , we have little time to bring it to our side . Luke is rapidly advancing and gaining ground with the information they got from other mortals about it . We investigate further deepen the true purpose of her soul .

- How long do we have?

- About two months ago, I think. Well , as I'm not stuck in this mission , go to the archives of the Order to search and try to find something for you here.

   Castiel was leaving in the west to be able to spread their wings and fly , but someone was watching him . The archangel turned to seek entruso , but found nothing . He used his powers and realized that a girl was around.

  He walked over to where she was hiding and waited for an answer .

- Well, I 'd like to apologize for the way I misjudged that day and also want to thank you for sharing your feelings with me and understand me without criticizing me .

- It's okay . - Castiel remained indifferent and cold continued cm - Anything else ?

  Enma shook his head , but did not pull away . She stared at the floor and it made Castiel impatient, however , he said nothing , just waited for her to realize he wanted to be alone and moved away .

  Instead , the girl clenched his fists at his side and winced slightly. The archangel thought she was having another crisis and stepped forward. To his surprise , the girl hugged him with tears slipping down his face , he was buried in the chest of Castiel . At first he remained motionless and stiffened , but as the sobs of the girl became insistent , Archangel embraced her and brought her closer to him.

- It's okay now , no need to cry.

- Please do not be angry with me , I just ... I just ...

  Castiel waited for her to face him and wiped a tear that fell from the red eyes and the wet girl.

- I'm not angry . I just do not want you to feel something more for me , but for Ethan . He can understand you and comfort you better than I can ever . Also, I am stuck with another person the rest of my life and you know it . I'm sorry , but I can not say what you feel for me is reciprocal .

- I understand, but that is ...

  Enma did not finish and another crisis again memories invaded her mind , leaving her distraught . Castiel felt the energy that surrounded the girl and then could see black tentacles involving the girl's body , an energy emanating aggressive and sinister as the other time . Luke was around, the archangel knew this very well and looked around , to capture the demon on the roof , which kept his eyes half closed and about Enma .

  After checking out the place , Castiel opened silvery wings and involved the deadly , blocking the energy the demon . Enma shivered inside archangel wings and gripped his shirt tightly, so that her knuckles stay white . Castiel froze in place , because he could not go back into the school with wings sample and could not call for Ethan because of the great distance and interference from Luke in telepathy.

  Archangel held the girl in his arms and did something that all angels were forbidden to do. He leaned his forehead against hers and closed his eyes .

†

  Then all became clear to him . Castiel could clearly see where the power of the devil and Ethan met and clashed . That was the point where memories arose and caused seizures in Enma . Even knowing he could not , he went into a slit of the memories of past incarnations of the girl and he arrived in a place completely dark and empty , where there were only three people present . One was the soul of Enma , which at that time - if it could be considered as a time in fact - was known as Ravenna Edwards , the person who gave birth to all those battles . The other two were distant and Castiel could not identify who they were.

  Castiel stood at a safe distance to ensure that none of the three saw the traveler and sharpened senses to know who were those other people and what they were talking so seriously .

† X. тєαяѕ ƒσя αη∂яєω ℓαωιєтт †

  Enma returned to school the next morning with her ​​health stabilized . This made the competition between Luke and Ethan Archangel continued , this time more defined and intense. Both tried to persuade her whenever possible, but as always she continued with spirit alone and even more closed than before .

†

  During the time interval , Enma sat in one of the banks that were under a árovre and opened his journal , but has not written anything , she just stared at the pictures she had stored there .

  See those images and remember those moments destroyed the girl inside, but anyway Enma still engrossed in the memories and the good memories that time took her two years ago . Tears streamed from her eyes and Enma did not fight against them .

- What happened ?

  She supreendida out by Luke , who came out to get some fresh air and saw her crying in the distance . Enma wiped the tears as soon as he could.

- Nothing, I'm fine . Just leave me alone .

- A while ago I realized that you are hostile to people just to push them for some reason primary , but you do not want it for real , is not it?

- You're right , but this is something private and no one has to get it.

- Hey , I know what it is. You away from everyone you because of that boy who died two years ago , Andrew Lawiett , is not it ?

  Enma felt the deepest anger at hearing the name of her former boyfriend out of the mouth of someone like Luke Walker . Her violet eyes shining with tears of pain and anger .

- How do you know about it ? Why you do not mind their own business ?

- Hold on , girl.

- I have nothing to talk to you ! Leave me alone !

   Luke grabbed her left arm and placed it on the bench again. Enma again shed tears because I can not be alone and that someone had touched the weakest it again in years.

- Get out of here , Castiel .

- I think the hassle is you , Walker . I want to know what is happening .

- Nothing that interests you .

- Well , I did not come here to waste my time with you. I'm here to talk to Enma in particular.

  The demon slowly pulled away and went back into the school, leaving Castiel to talk privately with Enma .

- Did he hurt you ?

  She shook her head , but without looking at the archangel.

- What do you want ? - Her voice was choked by tears.

- I mean I know why you are suffering so much and have come to ask you to leave Ethan help you overcome the death of Andrew .

- Like you, newbies know this ?

- Well , let's say this is a subject that is still widely spoken in the intervals when you are not present.

  Enma curled up on the bench as an attempt to block the conversation . Realizing this , Castiel sat beside her and put his hand on her hand and meekly tried to continue the conversation with the utmost tenderness that could , for he imagined that the outcome would not be very good.

- I really feel sorry for him and imagine the pain you must be feeling.

- Do not try to fake compassion , please.

- It is false compassion . You heard of a girl named Danielle Harrinton ?

- Yes , she died two years ago , about the same time that Andrew .

- Well, she was the great love of my life since childhood and that day , we started dating . But her family 's car overturned and fell into a river . All who were in the vehicle managed to escape , only she , who was trapped in the wreckage and had cerebral hemorrhage by the impact of her head on the side window of the car .

- I'm sorry for her and for you . But why are you telling me this ?

  Castiel sighed quietly and looked at the girl first .

- Because I know you want to turn people away for fear of getting hurt again and you wanted to know why my file that day . - He paused a long time - but I 'm not like him and never will be . We can be physically similar , but you can not see his reflection in all boys . Andrew is not the only and perfect and I do not want you to get hurt even more trying to be close to me . I'm not the right person for you and think you should try to become familiar with someone who would be true , try to give a chance to Ethan .

- You do not know anything! Danielle died when you did not try to find a person who looked like her? You do not want to fill the void in the heart ?

- I still have this emptiness inside me and I behaved like you for a while too, but then I realized the charm that each person has when you do not try to compare it to another person .

- So you do not really loved her ! If you really love her you will not forget and would not be one second without thinking of her !

- That's why I stopped looking for a second Danielle . I still miss her and my chest hurts often , but I have to continue my life , even if it is missing a part of me .

  Enma did not answer , just walked away quickly from there in disbelief at what he had just heard and heartbroken again by trying to love an archangel who resembled the mortal she loved since early adolescence . Castiel sat there, meditating on the death by which madly in love and the reason he did not want to come back to the human world .
