(The Fall. )
Chapter two:
She felt it before... she heard the cries... the darkness that had taken over her Earth. Eden heard her brother's and sisters scrambling outside her door in a frenzy. She quickly got out of bed and got dressed. The angel Castiel came into her room in a panic. Which was rarity for the usually stoic angel. Castiel what's wrong? Are you okay? What's going on? She screamed so that she could be heard over the mayhem. Lucifer stands trial for corrupting the humans! Our father has sentenced him to death! Michael is preparing to carry out his punishment! Castiel yelled, the fear and sadness evident in his usually calm voice. He went on to explain how Lucifer corrupted the humans. But she was only half listening. She was too fixated on one word that made her heart stop... death. Even Amara was locked away for her treason. Why would father kill him for merely testing the humans? This was obviously just the mark!
Eden grabbed Castiel's hand and flew straight to the center of the madness where Lucifer was bound. Michael stood with tears in his eyes as he prepared his lance to kill his beloved brother. All angels watched in horror, some yelled to get it over with, some cried out, and some stood silently watching it unfold. At first no one noticed Eden until... Stop! Eden commanded (as Gabriel called it ) her scary God voice. Her eyes were glowing a light blue with anger. All fell completely silent... not one angel dared move. She walked towards Lucifer and all others moved out of the way. Once she finally reached him she fell on her knees and put his face in her hands wiping away tears that fell down his face. She whispered calmly... I'll fix this... It's gonna be okay. She stood up and turned to Michael, What's the meaning of this brother! Michael flinched at the sound of her anger.
At the sight of this all her anger melted and she gingerly placed her hands on his shoulders. Michael is not who she was angry with he was just being obedient. I'm sorry... What I meant to say is way is Lucifer being put to death? She said more calmly. He corrupted our father's creation... he disobeyed. Michael said in his firm soldier voice. His voice was not angry but merely absolute and strong. Though Eden knew better, she could feel his true pain. I am fully aware of what he has done... that was not my question. I asked why is our brother being put to death, not what he has done to receive punishment. Michael tensed looking like a child being scolded. Because father commanded it. Michael said it as if he had said it a thousand times before. It was then Lucifer who spoke up, I have done nothing wrong but prove my suspicions correct! The humans are flawed abortions not worth us bowing down to! Father as made me a villain to distract from his flawed creation. He's not even here to watch me die! I don't deserve to die! Tears once again fell down the archangels face.
Eden's heart broke at this, she looked around and realized that he truly wasn't there. Her father wasn't even there. Michael looked at Eden with such despair in his eyes, I'm so sorry sister... but our father's will must be done. Just then Rachel and a fewer lower class angels grabbed Eden holding her still. Michael approached Lucifer with his lance as Eden cried out for him to stop. Michael stated loud enough for everyone to hear, The Archangel Lucifer has been charged with treason and the corruption of humanity and is found guilty. By the command of our father the Lord you are hereby sentenced to death. Goodbye brother. As he raised his lance Eden broke free from her bondage and jumped to stop Michael. But she couldn't stop him in time... Horror flooded Michael's face as the realization hit him the lance was not imbedded in the chest of Lucifer but Eden. She had jumped in front of her brother to save his life.
The cry of pain and grief that erupted from every angel was heart wrenching. There as never been so many terrible emotions shown as there were in that moment the sound of despair was so strong that it created a new species by mangling the souls in the nearby heavens. The despair both God and the angels felt in that moment created Lilith the first demon. Michael and Lucifer both raced to grab their dying sister, desperate to save her. Before they could touch her she fell. All the way out of Heaven she fell. Lucifer's once blue eyes turned blood red with anger and grief. God then sentenced Lucifer to be locked away in a place he called Hell. All of Heaven was heart broken. Thus the beginning of the end...
