His Dark Obsession

His Bitterness

EVANGELINE.

I watch him with my heart racing, praying and hoping he agrees to shed some light on all that has happened.

He doesn’t respond to my coaxing for him to complete his unspoken sentence as he begins pacing on the other side of the river.

I have to try to fix this. We won’t get the chance to come here again and right now, Evelyn is screaming to be released. I’m struggling to hold her back, but my own determination is winning, for now.

“I will say nothing.” Raziel growls menacingly as he glares at us. “I made my move, my choice, and with it resigned myself to a life of emptiness on earth. Only when all comes to an end will I see some reprieve…

He looks towards the largest c*ack in the cave’s ceiling, the faint glimmer of the moon seeping through and I frown as I realise what it means.

He wants to see this world end…

“Fine… then tell me, how did this chamber become a place where all Lycans come to pay respect to you? You hate the Lycan’s correct?”

His huge head turns toward us, and he bares his teeth in what I think is a grin, but it looks nothing but terrifying. “Seeing them bow down and offer me their blood may seem to you like I enjoy it, but with every drop, it only strengthens the barriers that keep me here… I’m forced to tell them their future… by Him.”

The Eternal G*d.

“Then are you saying what you told Zedkiel was his future? Because no one sees you, those whom enter are given a vision, but Zedkiel’s was different, he saw you.” I murmur.

“Exactly, what you told me had nothing to do with my future. It sounded more like a warning…” Zedkiel trails off, and his frown deepens.

“A momentary lapse in judgement…” He replies.

Meaning he said something he now regrets?

“What was his actual vision if not what you told him?” I ask.

He glares at us when Zedkiel suddenly looks up. “Or did you tell me that to throw me off from becoming one with Evangeline?” He growls.

His power seems to grow, and he lets out a sinister growl. “Think what you want! I told you what I did… there is truth in it… but you are too much of a fool to see it! As for your future, I know nothing save death.” He sneers resentfully.

“Your bitterness comes from Selene’s abandonment… have you ever thought that she may simply be upset with you cursing her own daughter or for sentencing her creations to da*nation?” Zedkiel asks icily.

I gasp when a tremendous roar fills the cave, the impact of his power almost throwing me off my feet. Zedkiel grabs me, his arms wrapping around me protectively as he snarls viciously. His own aura fills the cave as he glares at Raziel.

“You will control that anger!” He growls at him.

Both glare off, Zedkiel’s blazing red eyes full of anger, and I know inside of him Zerachiel is probably also fighting to come out.

“Please, if you don’t want to help us… at least tell us what the scriptures cannot. You were there when it all happened.” I plead.

I can feel Evelyn’s anguish and irritation, but when I ask that question she stills. Just like us, she deserves to know. She wants to know.
