Chapter 56.-3

She turned her excited blue eyes to Jayden and squeezed his hand. "We're following her. How else are we to see what happens? This is a special event Jayden! We can't miss this." She smiled revealing a small dimple on her right cheek. Jay's eyes widened at the woman he'd only met a few hours ago. His first thought when he saw her change was, what the effing hell. But her face.. Her innocent beautiful face had made him soften. He felt safe with her. He liked her. And with the bright eyed looks she gave him, he could see she liked him too. He pulled on her hand. "Bonnie, come on." She suddenly ducked down behind a boulder pulling him down with her and watched an army of a hundred or a ninety Demons walk past them. Jayden had discovered that Bonnie is a very strong Angel. She could do that same thing Eli could do. Shield them. The demons paid them no mind. They walked on as if they weren't there. "You're mad." He said with a smile. She winked. "Only with you." She moved a lock of her light hair behind her ear and surveyed the huge clearing in front of us. Her eyes searched and stopped. "There she is." Jay's eyes followed hers and widened. "Oh, Alex." He whispered. ** It was time. Her body vibrated as she hovered off the ground. Her skin burning hot. Her heart pounding against her chest. She let out a sigh as her wings ripped from her back and spread out behind her. They were very large beautiful wings although they were as black as the night. Feathers ruffled and fell to the ground. They quivered with her as she shook. She felt as if it were a relief for them to be out. To have them moving, stretching. She hovered further off the ground and ignited a flame on both of her hands. "The shadows of the night will rein the human world with terror," She chuckled and launched a flame into the sky. She manipulated into a spot and left it to hover. "Demons will fall," She moved it toward a demon flying across the sky and watched him drop. "Angels will fall," She caught sight of a speeding angel, moved the growing flame toward them and listened to their shout of pain. "Light in this world will cease to exist and the Fallen shall rise again..." She rose higher into the sky and listened to the war below. Angels and Demons fighting. "Typical sight," She scoffed. It was almost 11.58... "The world will stand still at exactly eleven fifty-nine as I make my decision." She mumbled. She rose higher and watched the Angels and Demons fight. An odd feeling passed through her as pure liquid fire soared through her veins; her clothes slowly singeing away leaving her in drabs of clothing. Her body shook from head to toe as she readied herself for the climax. ** Gabriel landed in the middle of the fight, grabbed a demon and ripped its head of its body. Cameron landed next to him and took someone out before they could touch Gabriel. "Where is she?!" He yelled into the slaughter. Gabriel's mind searched for her but he couldn't locate her. He could feel her power nearby buy couldn't see her. Gabriel pulled out a pure platinum knife. A fair distance away Maryanne effortlessly sliced, pulled and danced through the battle with a smile on her face. Tristan ventured through everyone, ripping apart whoever got in his path like the animal he was. Elizabeth being the good natured woman had swapped personalities and killed what ever was there. And Joseph's moves were flawless. He was invisible. Eli ran at Gabriel but he caught him by the neck. "Hello Elijah." Gabriel said. He laughed and tried struggling. "I did it. She's chose the right way instead--" "Goodbye Elijah." Gabriel said as he pressed the knife to his throat and slashed twice. His body dropped to the ground with a thump. Grigori saw the exchange and ran without looking back. Gabriel went to follow but something stopped him. A screech only a Call would make sounded through everybody's ears but the sound was no longer a soft bell. It was like their own dog whistle. Everybody could hear it. Even Jayden who was standing close by with Bonnie. Everybody fighting or moving covered their ears. Some dropped to the ground in pain, some still standing strong. Gabriel locked his knees together to stop himself from dropping like a fly. He was stronger than that. The Call stopped abruptly and every angel and Demon exchanged a long look. Jayden and Bonnie emerged from the huge boulder. Gabriel's eyes widened at the two. Jay's hand in Bonnie's hadn't been much of a surprise for him. Humans weren't supposed to meet their guardians for a reason. It's impossible to protect and watch and not end up falling in love with them or end up treating them as if they were a shrine. It's against the law, yes, and only a fair few have ever broken it. Breaking that law is like attempting to murder an Elder. For Bonnie to do this, it's a risk. Bonnie grinned at Gabe then at Cameron. "I couldn't help myself. And plus, Lonny helped him find me." Her hand squeezed Jay's and he smiled at her. Gabriel went to speak but a sound that resembled sharp thunder sounded up above. "Gabriel," He turned his attention to Bonnie. All fun had disappeared from her face. "She's in there.” She pointed toward the clearing. “I assume you've been told to stay away?" He nodded. Then she smiled. "You're not going to listen?" "Hell no." He said as he started into the clearing. The Archangel's and Joseph called him back. They followed him along with Liz, Mary, Tristan, Bonnie and Jayden. What they saw as they all entered the clearing was shocking. Almost her whole body was on fire as she sent wave after wave into the sky. Her Mark was even more prominent on her hand than before. Her clothes were in drabs now. Her jeans were barely classed as shorts, her sneakers melted to the ground, her tank top barely covering the necessary. Gabriel stared at her long thick wings. Everybody was speechless. Joseph's face had paled as he stared at her. "She's choosing..." Elizabeth couldn't hold back the tears. Maryanne and Tristan enveloped her into a tight hug. Maryanne was even trying to hold back the tears. Ezekiel and Aira hugged each other only in a way a brother and sister would. Brooke took Cam's hand in hers and squeezed as they watched. Gabriel looked at his family again and then at Bonnie and Jay. They wrapped their arms around each other and shut their eyes. Jay's hand stroked Bonnie's hair as if he were the one that was supposed to protect her. It couldn't end like this. She couldn't just do this. The sky started turning blood red... From high above he could hear the shouts of the angels Falling and below, the ground shook. "No." Gabriel said. "This isn't how it's going to end." His wings ripped from his back.
