One Hell of An Angel

68:Clouds

Harry's pov

Slowly the white faded I saw large clean golden gates we were still moving as things became clearer the gates opened before us the ground was an undying shade of crisp green with rainbow spots created by the massive amount of flowers I was guided through people stopped what they were doing and watched as I was guided through

We walked down pale gravel paths  through modest woods I looked around I'd never gotten to see the human part of heaven the sun was warm but the temperature was cool the kinda days I'd felt on earth where your skin soaked up sun and you weren't breaking a sweat and the breeze was gentle not even enough to cause your hair to become disheveled

I faced forward someone was ahead of me walking my way I flashed a soft smile she curtsied holding up the skirt of long cream colored dress as greeting then  went around us

I was then suddenly shoved off the path to the left I walked rather aimlessly into the woods a saw something shinny being throwing in front of me ,Gabe threw it, when it landed I was grabbed I felt something cold on both my wrists the shinny thing had formed into a door "move" I stepped forward

The door opened I went through I blinked rapidly the sudden vast change almost made me dizzy its now white again just clouds surrounded in a hazy off white sky no detail of any kind I could see the edges of the narrow walkway of solid condensed clouds but I couldn't see what they dropped off into

I was kept moving forward more Angels formed a wall they stood stiff not a single gazed moved from its fixed point we got closer and I was halted again "The angel that father requested" Gabe stated monotones

Then and only then was our presents acknowledged the center 2 angels parted letting us through they tagged along behind us the path was gradually becoming less narrow I squinted as the white became more vivid it was so bright it burned

I closed my eyes completely turning my head away trying to protect my eyes I was stopped I heard foot steps I peeked the sight made my jaw drop I dropped to one knee bowing my head "father"

"Stand" his voice was so much different than I'd imagined it was so soft and almost empty sounding I stood he was sat in a solid white throne the other 2 angels that followed us stood at his sides

"Father I've waited my whole life to meet you it's an honor but I am sorry we've met under these circumstances"

He sighed softly "earth has changed you" he shook his head "you have no life nor did you have any right to make another life my son you aren't a human you aren't a being at all you're something entirely different you're just a thing of energy molded in the holy image"

That stung "but... I am a being" I swallowed hard "I feel things"

"You can't feel things you're not supposed to feel anything you must remain impartial and unbiased" he paused "what have you become I gave you so many chances and you wasted them all"

"I'm sorry I don't see it that way"

"No! You have murdered, you were being intimate, you were with a demon! The thing you've made you-"

"Gabriel" father cut him short "he's aware of what he's done his aura reflects that"

If I'm in trouble I might as well make the most out of seeing father "why did you choose me? Why did I have to be sent? I wanted to come home father I was on earth for years thinking you'd let me back"

"You were never going to come back son" he gave no explanation no reason he flat out avoided my questions

"What about Alexis then? Why was she sent to hell? She never did anything"

"Attempted murder, never worshipped, she never believed in me"

I became pissed instantly "How could she? DID YOU NOT SEE HER LIFE SHE WAS ABUSED AND TORTURED FOR YEARS WHAT DID YOU EVER DO TO HELP HER?! WHAT DID ANYONE DO TO EVER HELP HER?! NOTHING HER WHOLE LIFE SHE WAS JERKED AROUND AND BEATEN THE ONE TIME SHE ATTEMPTS TO FREE HERSELF SHE DIDNT EVEN KILL HIM SHE JUST STABBED HIM COULD SHE NOT BE FORGIVEN"

"No" plain and simple

A shiver of rage ran through my body "then what of me tell me so we can get it over with" I hissed

He rolled his shoulders "dismemberment" he said coolly

"I'm sorry I can't do that" I stated blankly

"What?" He asked bewildered the first time his tone held any kind of emotion

"I promised my daughter and her mother that I'd come home so you can give me any other kind of punishment but that, I love them I'd never lie" I shrugged

He laughed slightly "love them? The demon and the baby? You don't know what love is my son"

"But I do" I shook my head "it's not something that needs to be taught it's involuntary its instinctual"

"You have no instinct" he shook his head

"I'm going home to them" I wasn't about to argue

"You will get what you deserve my son"

I nodded "and I agree, but I'm not leave my girls"

"You don't have a choice" the 2 angels stepped toward me they each grabbed one of my arms and started to drag me away I wiggled kicking but they held me tightly we started to get back on the narrower path toward the door from the angle I was being dragged at in the distance I could see what was under the clouds it was blue with subtle hints of green

It was earth 

I bit my lip, made sure no one was in front of me then turned my head looking behind me, it was just me and the guards I took a deep breath closing my eyes I used all the heavenly energy I had left in me I yanked my hands apart busting the chain on the cuffs I pulled my arms away from them swiftly and ran

I ran straight to the edge and jumped

I was free falling no one jumped to follow me I'm going home

I hope I can make it back I kept my eyes closed and prayed hoping whatever energy was left could shield me make my landing a safe one

Please don't make a liar outta me
