Chapter 44
The car came to a stop and we all got out the car before walking up to the entrance of a warehouse. As we got to the entrance we saw there was a padlock on it. Lucifer's fist lite up with flames as he got ready to punch through it.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Charlie spoke in a playful tone. We all turned to see him smirking. "If you make noise let alone a bang, this whole place will explode," he spoke.
"Why would you even tell us that? I thought you want the explosion to happen," Grayson questioned. Charlie nodded, "I do but I want to watch it, not die."
Isabella scoffed, "Either way you're dead," she hissed before pushing the barrel of the gun against the back of his head. "Without a gun, you're nothing," he laughed. "True, but for now," she hit him in the back of the head with the gun causing him to groan in pain as he held his head, "I suggest you make this easier and play along," she ordered him.
Looking back to the padlock, I saw it needed his hand print, his eyes to be scanned and some pin. I looked back to Charlie to see him smirking. "You either open it or I stab you again like last time," I spoke gesturing to the spot I stabbed him last time.
"I don't care," he hissed.
A smirk rose to my face as I figured out a way I might get him to tell me. I formed a portal on the ground in front him which lead into the sky. Looking up, I saw the portal forming.
"Tell you what," you tell me the code and I wouldn't push you into the portal which the other side ends in the clouds," I pointed to the other portal in the sky high up. "You're going to have me in a continuous loop falling?" he laughed.
I shook my head with a smirk, "Nope. Once you go through the first one, I'm closing it so when you're falling down, you'll just hit the ground with a splat," I explained.
He let out a nervous chuckle, "You're lying."
"Let's see," I smirked as I flashed behind him and kicked him into the portal. I closed it and we all looked up to see him falling from the sky with a scream.
"To think he would give up by now," Isabella casually mumbled. Grayson shook his head, "He's your husband. With that speed he's falling, shouldn't he be burning up?" Grayson asked.
"Yeah but I kind of have a force field about him. I think we should step back a little," I mumbled. We all kept our eyes on the sky and moved from the spot Charlie was going to crash into.
"So...this is just to get him to talk right?" Grayson asked. I nodded, "Pretty much. I mean we could have gotten in there already. Lucifer could of just flashed in there or we read his mind for the code. It's just fun messing with an asshole," I shrugged to which they all nodded in agreement.
Charlie's scream became louder as he was coming closer to Earth's surface. "OKAY! I'LL TELL YOU!" he shoulder 25 feet up. Using my powers, I caught him in mid-air and placed him down to which he started to pant out breath. "Do you need more air?" Grayson jokingly replied to which I started forming about portal.
"Fuck you," he hissed as Grayson took his cuffs off.
Charlie scanned his eyes, his hands and entered the combination into the padlock causing the door to open. We cuffed him back up before walking inside. The door shut behind us and looking around the warehouse we saw missiles lined up 12 inches away from each other pointing upwards to the ceiling. The harder I looked at the ceiling, it was clear to see it could open.
"There's over 30 missiles here, how are we suppose to disarm all this?" Isabella shrieked.
"Let me think," I mumbled as I looked around the room.
I pulled out my phone and took some pictures of the room full of missiles before shoving my phone back into my pocket. There was so many ways I could get ride of all this missile. I could teleport them out but when it explodes on the other side, it might impact the environment.
My eyes trailed over to Lucifer who was just staring at the missiles. I then had an idea. I was going to try and contain the explosion like how I did when the guys and I were kidnapped and I was sitting on a pressure plate bomb.
"Okay, so my plan is to freeze over the hold room and form a force field around us. You can then trigger the explosion to which I'll try to also contain it as you absorb it," I informed Lucifer.
"Sounds like a good plan. Quick and simple," he acknowledged.
Force field around use, I started to focus. Lucifer shifted into his demon form and stood in the middle of the room as I stood at the corner by the exit next to Isabella, Grayson and Charlie. Closing my eyes, I let out a breath and opened my eyes as I pushed my power to the max. I felt energy filling me as the mist had once did to me. Focusing, I dropped the temperature in the room and freeze over the floor before making it now snow. I formed another force field around Lucifer with the missiles in the force field with him. Holding up both my hands in front me, I could feel the force field growing stronger around him.
"Ready?" he asked.
I nodded, "Do it."
His hand formed a fire ball. He then threw it to the missile next to him. It quickly exploded which caused a chain react which triggered all the other missiles. The all exploded and I felt the force of the blast trying to break through the force field. I formed a ice shield around the force field as I felt myself being pushed back a bit. I watched as the explosion quickly died down soon to reveal Lucifer standing in the middle of the room in his regular form. Putting the ice shield down and the force field, I panted out of breath with my hands on my knees which was a bit unexpected.
"You alright?" Grayson asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder for comfort. I nodded my head as I stood up straight. Lucifer was now in front me with his eyes on my lip. He reached up and slid his thumb under my nose. "You're bleed," he mumbled as he pulled his hand away. I looked at his thumb to see I was bleeding.
I waved him off, "I'm fine. Just pushed myself to max power. We should head to the rocket," I suggested. We all walked over to the entrance.
"I can just teleport us inside," Lucifer spoke before we walked out the building. "Alright, let's go," I mumbled. "Alright but give me a minute to check if anyone is there," he spoke before disappearing.
The room fell into silence and I just kept feeling so much energy run through me.
"You alright?" a voice asked next to me. I looked to see Grayson. I watched as he swallowed the forming lump in his throat. "Yes, what's wrong?" I asked trying to sound concerned but it came out in a monotone.
"Well, the room temperature is dropping quickly and your eyes are black," he informed me. Letting out a sigh, I saw indeed the room was cold as I saw my own breath. Breathing in and back out, I tried to calm myself down. I wasn't angry. Perhaps it was the energy flowing through me.
"Is it still black?" I asked to which he nodded his head. Within a blink, Lucifer was now standing behind him a bit bloody. "There was some people but it's all taken care off. What happened?" he asked as he saw my eyes.
I shook my head and waved him off, "I think I just pushed my powers to max. I'll be fine. Let just go and finish this," I ordered. He wanted to protest but quickly decided against it as it was not the time to talk about this. Lucifer grabbed my hand as we all held onto each other. Within a blink we were in a different room.
Turning around, I saw the humongous rocket standing up, aiming to the sky. Walking up to it, I looked at the padlock that was on it to see a timer. My eyes widened as I saw we had ten minutes.
"We have 9 minutes," I mumbled as I was leaving one minute to examine the rocket. I saw the wiring which was honestly complicated. Grayson took a look and even he didn't want to touch it.
A hand touched my shoulder and I quickly turned around getting ready to attack the person only to see it was Lucifer. "What's going on?" he asked a he moved his hand away from my shoulder.
I shrugged, "Not sure but we don't have time for this," I stated as I looked back at the rocket. I gently rest my hand on the side of the rocket and focused causing it to freeze over quickly the room turned ice cold and I looked up to see the rocket was coated in ice. This wasn't going to stop it. I needed to do more.
Getting ready to ask Lucifer for his view of this situation, I was stopped by a loud explosion followed by a blast which kicked me back across the room. My ears buzzed for a short moment and I let out a groan as I looked down at my body to see a piece of metal was in my stomach. I quickly pulled it out and hissed at how oddly I felt the pain. Looking around the room, I saw Isabella, Grayson and Lucifer were also on the floor across the room.
"Make a move and I shoot," a voice growled across the room.
I looked to see Charlie with a gun in his hand aiming at Grayson. Not only that but there was a huge hole in the wall and coming through it was some of his guys. I stood up and felt pain stuck through my body especially my shoulder blades. I crumbled to the floor at the amount of pain I was in. It felt as if someone had dug there hand into my back and started to yank at it.
"What's going on? What are you feeling?" Lucifer asked in a worried tone as he now next to me on the ground.
I shook my head, "Just kill him and say Isabella and Grayson. We don't have time for this," I groan through the pain.
Tears were now streaming down my face as I couldn't handle the indescribable pain I was feeling. Gunshots went off and I turned to see everything moving in slow motion. My eyes focused through the tears to see Charlie had fired his gun and the bullet was going straight for Grayson's head. It was just 10 feet away. Pushing myself off the floor, I stumbled onto my feet and tried to use my telekinesis to stop the bullet but it kept slowly moving towards him. I stumbled over to him only to collapse a few feet away from him letting out a scream of pain. Laying on my back, I turned to see Lucifer was also in slow motion and people were disintegrating from his fire. Everything then stopped.
Closing my eyes, I felt the pain intensified. I felt as if I couldn't move or even breathe.
"I leave you for a few days and you're already in trouble," a voice came out amused. Slowly opening my eyes, I looked up to see a familiar face with a familiar smile.
Just like that, I felt my pain vanished. "Am I dead?" I asked which only causing him to chuckle and shake his head.
He then stuck out his hand for me to take to which I did. He held me off the floor and I stood there a bit shock at what I was seeing. "This is real?" I asked as I eyed him. He nodded his head, "As real as it gets," he spoke as he walked over to the bullet the was going to hit Grayson. I watched as he took it out of midair and reversed the direction so the bullet was now facing Charlie.
"How are you here?" I asked.
He didn't say anything except sighed.
"Sean?" I called in a soft voice.
He looked at me and something in his eyes made it looked as if he was in pain. "I guess my fate changed. I'm currently in some forsaken realm which is a prison. As punishment, I'm suppose to be your guardian angel. Yeah, weird I know considering I'm a fallen one," he explained.
"What realm? Couldn't you just stay here or do you have to go back?" I asked.
"I would love to answer all of your questions but there isn't much time. They'll drag me back in within a few minutes. That pain you were feeling comes deep within you with the combination of all your powers and emotion. In order to disarm this rocket, you need to use everything you go and freeze this rocket over then shatter it. You've only scratched the surface of your ice powers. You need to focus harder. Your wings are also the reason for your pain," he spoke.
I stared at him as I was trying to process what he was saying. "Wings?" I questioned.
He nodded his head, "Sky, you're the balance between life and death itself. You've entered paradise and have been in Hell. Your portals lead to the Heavens, to Hell, and every realm there is," he informed me.
"Even yours?" I asked. He studied me for a second before cupping my face, "I know what you're thinking. Do not try to get me," he spoke in a stern tone.
"But you're alive and -"
"No! It's dangerous and a suicide mission. You die in that realm, that's it. There's nothing else after that. Sky promise me you wouldn't look for me," he demanded.
"Sky!" he shouted.
I let out a sigh, "Fine, I promise," I lied straight through my teeth. He let out a relief sigh, "Thank you," he mumbled before he kissed the top of my forehead. I quickly wrapped my arms around him to which he hesitated for a few before hugging me back. "I missed you. Will I ever see you again?" I asked.
"I don't know and I missed you too. I'll be watching over you," he whispered.
A few seconds rolled by and I soon felt nothing. Opening my eyes, I saw Sean was no longer there. Turning around, I watched as everything was going back to its normal speed. Charlie's guys were dead within seconds along with Charlie himself. A figure made its way in front me and I felt as if I was slipping away from reality.
"Sky!" a voice called. I snapped out of my trance and looked up to see Lucifer, Grayson and Isabella looking at me a bit worried.
"Huh?" I mumbled as I looked behind me to see if Sean would reappear or something but he didn't. "What are you looking for?" Grayson asked. I shook my head as I turned back around and walked over to the rocket.
Looking at the timer, I saw it was almost 6 minutes to explosion. "I'll take care of the rocket. You guys should get out of here," I spoke as I sat down in front the rocket facing it. "I'm not leaving you here alone," Lucifer spoke in an annoyed tone. I glared at him to which he glared back, "I wasn't asking."
"I'm not leaving either," Grayson argued as well as Isabella nodded in agreement. I let out an annoyed sigh, "Look, I know you guys are trying to help but Lucifer and I are immortal. You're not."
Isabella shrugged, "Don't care," she replied to which Grayson also agreed.
Rolling my eyes, I let out a sigh before closing my eyes and focusing. In hailing and exhaling, I put myself in a state of meditation. My body started to tingle with energy. I could feel the energy radiating off everyone in the room and the Earth itself. I spent the next two minutes meditating. Focusing all the energy and my powers, I reached out in front me and touch the rocket with my eyes still close. With both palms on the rocket, I heard a crack. Trying not to lose focus, I kept my mind on the coldness of my powers.
Opening my eyes, I saw I was levitating off the floor, touching the tip of the rocket which was completely frozen over more than it had before. It looked like a ice sculpture. Focusing harder, I watched as it started to crash into pieces and split all the way through, with on last energy blast, I used it to shatter the rocket causing piece of the frozen rocket to fly everywhere. Letting out a sigh, I felt energy in me just fade away as if I was out of juice. I was then falling to the floor. I tried to use my powers but I didn't have the energy.
Within a blink, I was no longer falling. I looked to see Lucifer holding me bridal style in the air. I gave him a tired smile as he flew us down to the ground. I got out of his hand only to be tackled by Grayson and Isabella with a hug.
"That was honestly awesome! And your wings!!" Isabella squealed. I looked at her a bit confused to see she was looking behind me. I followed her trail to see I did in fact have wings. I reached behind and touched my black feather wings to feel such softness.
(I thought it was a cool pic of what Sky's wings would look like)
I looked to Lucifer to see he was also as shocked as I was.
"I think we should head home," I mumbled turning back to look at Isabella and Grayson who both nodded.
Grabbing a hold of them, I teleported us back into my mansion into the lobby. Looking around my mouth dropped in shock as I looked around the room to see the place was trashed. There were some burned spots on the couch along with colorful spots which looked like it came from a paintball gun. Looking at the bar, there were bottles everywhere. The ceiling was covered in paintball pellets and the chandelier was somewhat broken.
Footsteps entered the room and I looked to see it was James along with some of the guys. There eyes widened as soon as they saw me.
"Shit!" I could hear James curse under his breath.
