My eyes opened up wide, and I felt the urge to get up from my chair and start dancing. If she told me I who killed me then I could pass on. I would miss Gabriel, but then I wouldn't have the stress of investigating my death.

"Well, why didn't you start with that?" I exclaimed.

"I am not finished what I was telling you, patience, please." She said in reprimanding way.

I sat further back in the wooden seat. My leg started to shake uncontrollably.  "Sorry, continue."

"Ever since Nova split into Heaven and Hell, there has been an ongoing war between Bestellarius and Fernalio. It has had a detrimental effect on all beings. Whoever gets in the path of the brothers are killed. I am a twight, the last one of my kind. My fellow Twights have been destroyed because of the war between Heaven and Hell. The only reason why I am still alive is because no one knows what I am, except for you."

She had a sad smile on her face and her eyes started to gloss. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her in that moment. I knew what was like to lose people and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even if they kidnapped me.

She took deep breaths and continued "This is where you come in Lilianna. After Augustino's death, one twight prophesized that there would be a war between the two brothers and only one person would be able to stop it. She tried to tell people this but no one would listen. The brothers got rid of her as well. The person who stopped the war would merge the two spiritual kingdoms to become Nova again and they would rule over it for the time to come."

She took a pause, "Lilianna, that person is you."

When she said that, whole boulders of worry came crashing down on me. I had enough on my plate trying to investigate my death, but ending a longtime war between two gods, that was too much. Celeste must have had the wrong person. It couldn't be me, why would it be?

She looked down at her lap "As for your earlier question, Devlin killed you. He committed the actual action but Bestellarius was behind it. Devlin was having an affair. The girl he was having an affair with was actually Bestellarius in another form. Bestellarius knew you were the chosen one and saw you as a threat. He threatened Devlin into sneaking some poison in your food.  Devlin put the wrong kind of poison in your food, so your soul was saved.  Jack is a demon who works for me and I sent him down to befriend Devlin and keep an eye out for you. Devlin told him what happened to you and he was killed by Bestellarius. Since your soul is not destroyed, you are in grave danger. Once Fernalio hears of this you will have two gods running after you, unless you stop the war. You are the only one who can. If you don't, all worlds, the human, and the spiritual one will cease existence. You were meant to save us all."

My body wracked with sobs. The only thing that hurt more than losing someone, was the pain of betrayal. I could feel the gaping hole in my heart. I was faithful to Devlin for the 6 years we were together, for him to betray like that? He had his flaws like anyone else, but I loved him none the less. We had our ups and downs, but I stayed with him no matter what. I felt taken for granted and used. I despised it. Tears rolled down my face as I heaved with pure anger.

Celeste put her soft, delicate hand on my shoulder and gave me warm smile.  "This is my hideout. You can stay for as long as you need to, it's safe here. One of the guards can take you to a room, and you can figure all of this out later."

I tried to give her a smile as well but it came out more like a grimace. "Thanks," I said under my breath.

As she promised, one of her fear-jerking guards led me to a room. It was a lot better than the one I was held captive in. It had a queen-sized, soft bed, some clothes in a dresser and an en-suite bathroom. I took some clothes and decided to drown my troubles in a bubble bath. When I was alive, they always used to help me think. The only thing I was missing was the ice-cream.

Once I slipped into the warm, soapy water, what she said about me being the chosen one really registered to me. The fate of all beings rested on me. If I didn't stop the war all of their blood would be on my hands. I wanted to cry about it all. Why was I the chosen one? I wasn't anything special. I was ordinary, and that was it. I tried to convince myself that it was true, but deep down I knew it wasn't.

I wanted something to go right in my life for once. Soon the water got cold and my skin resembled prunes. I got dressed and slipped under the covers in a heavenly bed.

I wished that Gabriel was here and that he could help me. We had not known each other for long, but we were partners and I enjoyed that. I felt that he had my back, and I would have his. We worked well together and he was always able to make me feel better. I missed him, I really did.
