2 Chapter 4 (You're sick)
Michael watched as Mayla shrieked and shook in pain, he wouldn't dare to stop the process as it could worsen the situation. Angels are immortal but when they take the form of flesh they usually returned to heaven to regenerate as the human form was vulnerable and weak Mayla knew this but decided to be stubborn anyways and Michael hates that part of her. He fisted his hand in anger as she continued screaming.
She fell to the ground on her all fours and screamed again as her wings pulled out slowly from her back and her flesh ripped to make way for it, her once beautiful wings were now almost bare, not just that but her yellow cresent pupil had dilated and her skin looked blue instead of white as it was supposed to be.
Michael rushed over and put her head on his laps as she then laid on the floor, her breath was already slow and faint.
" Gabriel?" Michael called and questioned with his eyes.
"You're sick" he said calmly to her even if he wasn't sure she could hear him.
"You are going to die soon" he added almost choked by his own words.
Monday came faster than she expected as her alarm rang endlessly.
"stupid alarm" she muttered and squeezed her pillow to her body, this flesh has sure made her lazy, Angels never slept in heaven but once they take a human form some attributes follow to help them blend perfectly.
After taking her bath she stared her naked body in the mirror for a while and started massaging the lotion in to her skin like those models she saw on commercials, As she got to her back she winched in pain when she touched the two lumps that had formed and her mind went back to the pains she passed through to bring out her wings and what happened afterwards.
" You're sick" she heard Gabriel although not clearly.
" You are dying" he said again which was loud enough to make her sit up in shock despite the pain.
"Angels don't die" she assured herself.
" They do when they stay in flesh for long, you know that" Michael said with his head bowed.
" What can I do, brother" she asked desperately.
"You know what you should do, Mayla".
"Is there no other way, a cure? anything?"
"You have to visit heavens well, we all no that's the only cure" Micheal suggested.
"No" she said and shook off her true form that area sizzled but she didn't seem to notice, she moved to her bed and laid down facing the ceiling.
" Please Mayla" Michael pleaded, but she didn't respond.
"You know how to contact me when you are ready" Gabriel said then disappeared, he didn't like to argue much.
" I'll take my leave too, take care of yourself, I'll try to find another way, I promise " Michael said and also left. She remembers crying herself to sleep that night and waking up with pains the next day and today also.
Mayla had worked extra hard, and as quickly as possible so that she could leave the restaurant early. As soon as it was 6pm she took off her uniform and hung it in the dressing room after which she told Lily to cover up for her and left.
She walked down the street to Mount liquor, even after she had promised Michael she would never visit the bar after the last incident, but this time she wasn't there to drink she had another business in mind. It was no secret for Angels that demons lurked in these kinds of places and of course there is no smoke without fire. She had come in search of Lucifer.
She sat at the end of the bar where the ill lighting wouldn't affect her much and waited for her guest and soon enough Ramiel appeared, there was no way she would get Lucifer that easily so she had to get him through his demons or agents and since she knew none she decided to meet Ramiel. He walked towards the table and as soon as he got close she could sense a strong, dark aura around him, he also looked quite different too, maybe because he was a demon now.
"Mayla" he said with his arms wide open for a hug.
"ohh I remember Angels are forbidden to have contact with demons, I guess you've heard am one now" He said and his look soften
"Am retired Ramiel" she said and stood up to hug him then they both sat down.
" so what do you want, her Majesty" he said bowing dramatically, he hasn't lost his sense of humor at least, Mayla thought.
"I need to see Lucifer" she said and he laughed, but then he stopped when he saw the serious look on her face.
"You know how you struggle to get a rank in heaven? am still on that level in hell now, I don't even see Lucifer that much unless he's addressing all the demons and I have no friends or connection because nobody trusts me yet" he said and Mayla sighed in disappointed instantly.
" Okay Ramiel thanks for you time" she said and stood up to leave.
" I know someone who might be of help to you though" he said and she sat down Immediately.
"Tell me" she demanded and he moved close as he didn't want their conversation to be heard.
"See that guy over there" he said pointing at a man that seemed to be in his mid twenties, he sat in the VIP section with bouncers standing around him.
"Yes I she him" she answered.
"Lucifer owns his soul so he'll know how to find him, I've heard some demons taking about him sometimes he's Lucifer's agent and owns this club". he said and she nodded.
"The only way to talk to him is to get some privacy and he has a thing for women so.." he added pointing at her.
" You want me to get some privacy with him by seducing him ,huh?" she said and he smiled.
" As smart as always" he complimented.
" I have to leave before someone sees me with you, demons are lurking everywhere" he said and stood up to leave.
" Ok then, Ramiel" she said
"Good luck my favorite Angel" he said then disappeared.
Mayla sat at the table for a while and calculated her move, she was unsure of how to get close enough to seduce him when he had bouncers around him, so she waited the moment he would leave the club and it happened soon enough. As Mayla noticed he was about to leave she quickly ran outside to wait for him. She unbuttoned the first three buttons of her shirt revealing a little of her bra and her full cleavages, her twenty three year old human form had full curves so she worried less.
As soon as he stepped outside she purposefully bumped into him and his phone fell down, she bent down slowly to pick up the phone and she could sense him stare her.
"Here" she almost whispered, then she handed him the phone and winked. She moved away from them but not too far and pretended to make a phone call, just as she had predicted one of the bouncers came to meet her, Ramiel was right.
"My boss wants to see you" he said in a deep intimidating voice and expressionless face .He led the way and she followed, this time the man was already seated in the back seat of the car.
" Get in" he said and Mayla was already disgusted by his attitude, peharps he thought she was a harlot, but she knew her mission so she kept her cool and forced a smile as she got in.
