Chapter fourteen

         Gabriel teleported himself and Alex to the psychic’s house, which was also where she did her readings.

         The psychic gasped and whipped around to face Gabriel at the soft sound of flapping wings. “What the hell?!”

         “Hi.” Gabriel breathed.

         “Gabriel...right?” The psychic guessed. She looked around her ranch-style house, unsure as to how he got in. “H-How…?”

         “I’ll explain in a minute. We have to tie her up before she wakes up.” Gabriel searched for a sturdy chair and teleported himself to the kitchen to save time. He sat Alex down in one of the kitchen chairs, then teleported it and himself back to the living room.

         “H-How are you doing that?!” The psychic exclaimed, watching the archangel in slight horror as he got a rope from nowhere.

         Gabriel sighed, turning to the woman after tying Alex up. “Long story short, I’m an archangel and she’s an antichrist,” He pointed to Alex. “And yes, heaven and hell are real. Every monster you can think of is probably real too. And what’s your name by the way?”

         “I-I…” The psychic was speechless, still trying to process the abundance of information. “Jamie…My name’s Jamie…” She brushed a strand of dark brown hair behind her ear and stared at Gabriel for a while. “So...You’re an angel…? W-With wings? And a halo?”

         “Basically.” Gabriel nodded, looking back to Alex.

         “And she’s Satan’s daughter?!?”

         “What?!” Gabriel turned back to Jamie. “No, no!” He laughed a little, “Antichrist’s are just demon spawns.”

         “Oh...okay…” Jamie thought for a moment. “All monsters are real?”

         “I’m pretty sure bigfoot’s not real.”

         “Uhm...What’s the thing you wanted me to help with? Can’t you just do it? You’re an angel.” Jamie felt like all her years of training to be a psychic, every trick she had to read people, were completely useless.

         “No. A human has to do it. And it needs human blood.” Gabriel explained. 

        “What’s the spell for?”

         Gabriel sighed again, “Why don’t we sit down and I’ll explain more in detail.”

 ~

         Alex groaned, slowly blinking her eyes open and looking around at her new surroundings. Where am I…? She felt weak and couldn’t move. She looked down and noticed she was tied up, but her efforts to break free were useless.

         “So some...demon is controlling her?” Alex heard an unfamiliar female voice coming from the next room.

         “Yeah.” Gabriel?

         “Oh look, you’re awake.” Alex’s eyes widened and she looked away from the doorway to her right at the new voice.

         “L-Lucifer!” Alex exclaimed. “N-No! You’re not supposed to be here!”

         “...Shouldn’t we try something...A little safer before the spells?” The conversation continued but Alex couldn’t pay attention.

         “Y-You’re not real!” Alex practically yelled.

         “Oh, I’m real.” Lucifer walked to stand in front of Alex. “Thanks to my little bro.” He smirked. “Oh, here he is now.” He looked to Gabriel who had entered the room, having heard Alex’s screams.

         “Alex, hey. Are you okay?” Gabriel stood right in front of her, looking down at her worriedly.

         “W-What…?” Alex began to remember what happened before she blacked out. “Where’d you take me?!”

         “Looks like a psychic’s house to me.” Lucifer answered, walking around the living room, looking at everything.

         “Psychic.” Gabriel replied, not hearing or seeing Lucifer. “Her name’s Jamie.”

         Jamie entered the room and smiled a little at Alex, “Hey.”

         “Ooh, she’s hot.” Lucifer commented, checking out the young psychic.

         “S-Shut up.” Alex hissed at him.

         “What?” Gabriel looked behind him to where Alex was looking, but saw nothing. “Who are you talking to?”

         Jamie frowned a bit, She’s far more broken than I thought….She glanced worriedly at Gabriel. It’s going to take a lot to fix her….

         “What do you mean? Y-You can’t see him…?” Alex’s and Gabriel’s eyes met.

         “No….Who?” Gabriel spoke slowly.

         “Lucifer! He’s right there!”

         “Yeah, I’m right here little bro. Long time no see.” Lucifer leaned against a large bookcase filled with books on spirits and other books of the same type.

         “Lucifer? You’re seeing Lucifer?” Gabriel looked around the living room again, just in case.

       “Gabriel, we should start.” Jamie spoke up. She was more calm now, and understood everything that was going on- mostly. She realized now, that it didn’t matter that they weren't human. They still had emotions, just like everyone else. This was mostly directed at Gabriel, she could see how worried he was about Alex, but it didn’t take a psychic to know that.

         Jamie could also see that beneath all the confusion and worry from Gabriel, he was angry and upset. She could tell that even if he knew it wasn’t really Alex talking when they fought, it still hurt him, but she didn’t understand how he was keeping himself together.

         And Alex, Jamie didn’t know where to start with her. At the moment, she was broken and confused, seeing things that weren’t there. She looked small and frail, like if someone were to touch her she’d break. Jamie stood back as Gabriel began trying to burn the seal off of Alex.

         An inhuman scream came from Alex the second Gabriel started, Jamie gasped and jumped back. “G-Gabriel, is she okay?!”

         Alex’s eyes turned dark red and she growled at Gabriel, “Fuck off, angel.”

         “Oooh, scary.” Lucifer smiled, watching everything from afar.

         “You too, douchebag.” Alex glared at Lucifer.

         Gabriel removed his hand and took a few steps back, “Alex, he’s not real.”

         Alex glanced between Gabriel and Lucifer. “I-I…”

         Alex? What the hell! Get back here now! Alex closed her eyes in pain as Dan’s voice screamed loudly in her head.

         "N-No!” She began to struggle against the ropes.

         “Alex, Alex calm down.” Gabriel attempted to calm her, placing his hands on her shoulders.

         “No!” Alex growled, her eyes turning red again. “Get away from me!” Gabriel backed up again.

       “Hm…” Lucifer watched, he seemed very interested in the way Alex’s personality kept changing.

         Meanwhile, Jamie stood back in horror. She had always heard of demons, but she’d never seen one, and had hoped she never had to. “What’s happening?!”

         “I don’t know.” Gabriel admitted.

      “Clearly she’s dying,” Lucifer said matter-of-factly. “With everything that’s happening in her head? I’m surprised she has lasted this long.”

         Alex struggled more, but found all of her energy disappear. She could feel Dan trying to take control again, and it took every ounce of strength, including her new demon strength, to hold him back. “N-N-No….” She panted, hanging her head, her hair falling into her face.

         “We’re going to have to do that spell.” Gabriel decided.
