So please send C&C and Enjoy! *_*

Chapter 26: Saviors.
I sat down at a large table in a private dining hall. It was like
the rest of the place. Oak walls, silken carpets, great works of art on
the walls and on the floor. But this room was lit by candle light, which
cast flickering shadows on the floor and walls.
The table I was sitting at was rectangular in shape, and fitted for
about six people. But there were only two people eating here, me and
Sarah. We both sat side by side, eating the delicious meal set out
before us.
Excellent turkey, fine wine, amazingly delicious bread, and half a
dozen other things I could not identify. All this food were on silver
plates and bowls, resting on silk tablecloth.
I took a bite out of the piece of turkey I had just picked up with
my knife and smiled. "This stuff is really good. I'm surprised they have
such a good cook. I've never tasted such good food."
Sarah nodded as she sipped her wine. "It's as good as the royal
court in Hell. The only place that's supposed to have better food then
the royal court is God's food. He, by far, eats the best. The most vane
man in history, if I do say so myself."
And then there was silence. We really had nothing to say between
each other, just silence. It was kind of eerie, too only hear the sound
of breathing, and flames flickering. You could swear that you were
alone...........
Lilith moved through the empty streets with ease. Moving from shadow
to shadow she was trying to reach the meeting place. Where she and Guni
would finish the plans for getting back my soul.
As she moved out of one shadow, she felt cold steel hitting the side
of her head quite hard. And this blow to the head caused her to fly
forward, about three meters, slamming into a car.
There was only a second to prepare before a flurry of punches and
kicks headed towards Lilith. She couldn't block them all, or very many
of them, so she absorbed all of the blows, feeling the wave of pain move
through her body.
Then came the voice of her attacker. "Damn you! It's all your fault
that Douglas is this way! If you had just left him alone none of this
would be happening now!"
Lilith knew the voice well, it was Maeyli, who seemed quite enraged.
"Stop it will you! What the hell is your problem?" She managed to say
in-between hits"
"You're my problem. You turned Douglas into a monster. And I will
not forgive you!"
Lilith was left speechless for the next few seconds. But after a few
more punches hit her, she finally talked. "I'm trying to get his soul
back! If you'd just stop beating on me then I would fix my mistake."
"And why should I believe you?"
"Maybe you shouldn't. But it's either that or killing me. And if you
kill me, where will that get you? You'll be much worse then me."
Maeyli stopped hitting Lilith after she heard that. Despite how much
Maeyli would love to kill Lilith, she was right. Why sink to Lilith's
level? What good would it do to kill someone? "Fine. What do you have in
mind?"
"Just follow me."............
Alice looked through a large section of files, trying to figure out
who was manipulating all the recent events. Who was the puppet master?
That was the question which dwelled within her mind, yet there was no
answer. Every trail leaded to a dead end, and she wasn't allowed to
arrest anyone without solid proof.
The church was the best lead she had. But a disk given to her by an
unknown man was not much proof at all. But maybe she should pay the
church another visit. First she would have to get clearance to leave the
base. In these dangerous times you needed clearance to leave. You'd have
to give him your name, ID number, and the information about where you
were going and why.
So she left to tell the commander..........
Lilith, Maeyli and Guni all sat down at a dirty table in a dirty,
broken up house. It was the place where people would not expect them to
meet. No one would search in ruins for them.
Guni was smiling as usual, as though he had everything under
control. "So who is it you have here Lilith?"
Before Lilith could speak, Maeyli butted in. "I can speak for
myself. I don't need anyone to speak for me."
Guni nodded. "Of course. I apologize."
"Good. Now my name is Maeyli."
Guni nodded again. "Of course. I've heard much about you, but not
for a long time."
Lilith interrupted at this moment. "Well can we get onto business?"
Guni smiled and bowed a little. "Of course."
Lilith nodded and stood up. "Now we all know why we're here.
Douglas, the Messiah, has lost his soul. And we have to get it back."
Maeyli and Guni agreed, but Guni spoke. "Okay Lilith, do you have a
plan?"
Lilith nodded. "I'm going to reason with him."
A silence then befell the room. No one spoke for what seemed like
hours. But eventually, the silence was broken by Guni. "It's your
funeral. If you want to throw away your life, fine by me."
Lilith quickly got up and began to walk out of the building, saying.
"I'm going. We'll see if I live or die."..........
Lucifer sat in his throne, sipping from a ruby goblet of wine. His
mind was wondering to the subject of Guni, the savior of the Demons. He
would serve as a great fighter, to slay the enemies that the army could
not handle.
Yet he would serve better as a martyr, he would die, and the people
would rally to his cause. The annihilation of God and the destruction of
Heaven! He would be the great savior, but not in the way he
expected..........
Matthew sat at a desk, looking at his computer. He was searching for
information on project, �Revelations'. But no success yet. All he had
found were the words classified and secret. All he knew was that the
project WAS a military project, which meant a new weapon. A weapon that
may cause the downfall of his whole plan. And that couldn't be allowed
to happen. He would have to find this project and bring it to a halt. If
only the Angels knew of something...........
Alice had just finished getting clearance to go to the church
headquarters. So therefor she was going to the area designated for magic
use. All use of magic in any other area was restricted, and enforced due
to some sort of dampening field surrounding the area which prevented you
from tapping into the magic.
As she rounded the corner, there was a soft sounding gunshot, and
then silence. Alice's body fell to the carpeted floor, spilling red
blood onto it.
She was dead, shot through the heart. Its fluids ran onto the floor
and onto the boots of her killer. A man, not a tall or big one. A pale
one, wearing a messenger's uniform. The man who was known as Ryan Mares.
He was shaking as he held the gun in his hand, and looked down at the
body. He had been told to do this, yes told by the master. The master
who knows all and sees all. The master who would lead the world into the
new age. He was powerful and virtuous, the great leader.
But something about this death seemed wrong, and it gnawed at him
for the seconds, which seemed like hours. And therefore, he turned the
gun on himself, and fired. His body soon joined Alice's on the floor,
and they both drifted into the dark abyss of death.
