Chapter 2
Chapter 2 was a transition chapter I wanted to set up some more of Paris and Isobel. Part of chapter two was based on the original ending of Bellum II. There was supposed to be this epilogue after Sera and Ariel find themselves stuck in St. Lilith's. It's like a week later or something.
This is Paris' POV.
“Damn it”,we say in unison
Isobel reloads with blanks and I bring the targets closer. She takes my gun from my hands and reloads it for me, it’s an oddly familiar gesture even though we've never done this before.
The basement was cleared out for target practice.
“Why can’t you use something sharp ? Like you did with the daemons.”
“SGI is a military group, they have big guns... . We can’t afford to miss.”
The other demons in the shadows whisper to one another as we releaod. I hate being watched but it’s essential for transparency.
With any luck this war was only going to have one battle and we would win that one.
“Again”, I say
Isobel and I both take a strong stance. Lift the safety, engage the targets (which are painted with wings) and aim.
The blow back is minimal but the sound is deafening. I cover my ears and curse.
The target had 3 bullets one in the head and one in each painted on wing.
“Damn, Isobel load it with blanks not real bullets.”
“I . . . did.”
I follow everyone as they turn to the entrance. Seraphina is standing there with a gun in her hand. Her hair is back and she is dressed in Angelic white. Her hand is shaking and she slowly lowers it. It’s the fist time I’ve seen her on her feet and she looks good.
“You missed”, Isobel said looking at the targets.
“No”, she said walking towards the target.
“SGI, they aren’t men the are Angels. One in the head and two to clip their wings just in case. You know those wars you read about in your history books, they fought in all of them. They probably started half of them.”
“Don’t be stupid”, she addressed all the daemons, “This is a suicide mission. You’re tailors with buttons and thread and needles. They are soliders. They fought the war we ran away from . They endured it. A war that tore us apart from our heritage, our homes, our chance at peace.”
“Hey”, calls Lysander.She looks surprised he is calling to her
“If we go to hell for this, you can be my roomate.”
She tosses the gun to Lysander and walks away.. I try not to look at Isobel as I run after her.
“Sera”, I take her hand.
“Demon.”
“Say my name, please. Sweet angel, You’d relieve a man of his virginity before sending him off against an enemy but not of his broken heart.”
Seraphina looked over to where Isobel was pretending to chat wth Ashe.
“There is the answer to your broken heart.”
“Sera, the fates have seen to us.”
“Demon, would rather have the one you were fated to love or the woman you chose to love--”
“ I love you”
“If you loved me, you would have chosen me first. After we kissed you choose Isobel, not me You choose her, you wanted to make her your wife. Don’t let the fates make your future, don’t let her get away again.”
She slowly backs away and hurries out of the basement.
I turn back to where where Ashe and Isobel are talking. When I reach them I hesitate infront of Isobel for a second, she offers me a half smile. I cautiously return it.
I straightened my shoulders and walk past her through the corridor of greuome painting that tell our journey from Homeland to earth.
No more living in the past.
All there is now is the future.
I didn't go in this direction for a few reasons. The first being I felt Seraphina was way to articulate and prothetic for someone who was just assulted and honestly it felt like it ended to positively. Did I just say that ? I'm starting to sound like SHV.
So, now we get back to Isobel whose been having a hard time adjusting to her new life. But she may have found a way to make things interesting.
