"I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed."
By Paulo Coelho

It was the morning of Izrak's and Lizzie's fate.

Lizzie knew that there was nothing more that they could do to convince Jesus and the devil that her and Izrak should be together.

But they both knew that there was nothing more to be done other than what they could do and they had to accept their fate.

Izrak held out his hand and gestured for her to reach for it.

He looks at her sadly. "Whatever happens here today know that I love you and we have to accept our fate.. even if that means we can no longer be together, I'll always think about you.. always."

Lizzie blinked at him struggling to comprehend what he was saying. "Are you saying that if they separate us.. You would just give up?.. Just like that?"

He grabbed her hand forcibly rather than waiting for her to grab his. "Never!.. You know how much I love you but there is only so much that we can do.. but I'll always have a place for you in my heart and mind."

She smiled with sadness. "I never knew you felt that way about me.. I love you."

He grinned. " I love you more."

She laughed as they walked towards their fate. "I love you more than Chocolates."

He nodded. "Well then.. that's good news for the chocolates then isn't it?.. They are bad for you know.."

She shrugged. "Who cares?.. They make great comfort eating."

He winked at her. "Well I hope that you'll eat them and think of me when all this is over."

Lizzie felt slightly overwhelmed. She wanted to have a tiny bit of hope but a part of her knew that Izrak was right and that there was no way Jesus and the Devil were ever going to let them stay together.

They walked to the same spot as before where they had desperately told everyone they were in love and wanted to stay together.

Lizzie sighs at the memory of the day before and thought about the only problem they had that day was just being honest with themselves instead of ignoring their feelings but today was another problem in itself and that was staying together.

Suddenly the clouds parted and Jesus and the other angels surround him.

Simultaneously the Devil appeared in the sky also with the other demons surrounding him also.

The Devil roared eerily. "We have spoken.. We have decided your fate."

Jesus looked at the Devil annoyed. "Do you mind?.. This involves one of my Angels and this involves... careful handling."

The Devil laughed. "And one of my Demons are also involved.. We both have our methods but it is however you want to play it but be warned if your way doesn't work.. I'm putting my foot down."

Jesus nodded. "Very well.."

Jesus turned to Lizzie. "After careful deliberating and endless amount of arguing mainly because The Devil is a stubborn old goat.. We have reached a decision."

Suddenly Lizzie's heart pulsed fast and hard mainly in fear of what their fate would be.

Lizzie decided to take a risk and stepped forward. "You have decided in doing the right thing then?.. You will let us stay together?."

Jesus sighed. "Lizzie dear I know that our... decision would not be popular but it's for the best all round."

The Devil nodded in agreement. "He's right."

Izrak roared angrily at the Devil. "This was your idea!.. This is what you wanted all along!".

Jesus who didn't like the Devil at all that much but knew he had to keep the peace decided to interject but the Devil beat him to it."

"I admit I was never happy about you're.. How do I describe it?.. You're happy union but we all know that a Angel and Demon can never be."

Jesus winces. "My dear devil I think we should get on with telling them their fate after all there is no point in prolonging it and I fear no matter what we say there may be riots."

The Devil nodded. "That may be so but they still have to do as their told.. we are their makers after all.."

He turned to the two people who anxiously waited for the fates and the Devil of course knew that he had their fate in the palm of his hand.

"You will of course be able to continue in this form of Angel and demon."

Lizzie and Izrak shared a hopeful smile but the Devil wasn't done yet. "However, I fear you cannot be trusted together when you both have jobs to do."

Lizzie knelt before the Devil. "That will never stop us doing our jobs.. If anything this will help keep their peace between The angels and demons themselves."

The Devil growled. "That may be so but I feel we cannot take that risk so the decision has come that you Izrak will be banished to the underworld."

Gasps came from the crowds and Lizzie held her head fearfully. "And me my lord?."

Jesus smiled at Lizzie. "And you will be my helper up here in heaven."

Lizzie gasps looking at Izrak and back at Jesus. "Is there absolutely no way that we can stay together?."

Jesus saw the sad look on her face. "I'm afraid not.."

There was uproar from both the crowds and some voices yelled repeatedly. "Then there is nothing else for it.. We shall strike!."

Jesus groaned annoyedly looking at The Devil. "You see?! This is exactly what I feared and it's all your fault."

The Devil roared. "If your Angel kept her feelings to herself then none of this would've happened."

Jesus frowned. "As far as I can see it wasn't 100 percent my angels fault.. If you had just been a little less harsher toward the other Devil's then perhaps they could trust their feelings rather than being afraid of you.."

The Devil laughed. "Hasn't it occurred to you that maybe I like people and demons being afraid of me.. I thrive on fear remember?."

Jesus decided this was enough for one day and disappeared into the clouds without his Angels for once who were walking around in circles yelling. "We will not work until this is resolved!."

Simultaneously Jesus disappeared in white orbs and  The Devil disappeared in flames. The other Demons walked over to the other Angels.

They stood together side by side striking together until a wrong was made right.
