Amethyst.
None of us knew what to say when those words left Gaia's mouth. For me, I was hoping that Gaia was just joking around, trying to prank us. I knew it was unlikely for Gaia to actually do that but that's what I wanted to happen. Deep down though, I knew whatever I wanted wouldn't happen. This was reality and I had no choice but so suck it up. We all had no choice, even Gaia. Whatever war was coming our way, I wouldn't let it tear down my family. My friends.. they're the only family I have, my only real family. No war can tear us apart, I'll make sure of that.

I glanced around and observed my friends. They were all in a daze. They all seemed to be in deep thought. Whatever they were thinking of, it wasn't good. Weiss was frowning. Pearl was biting her lip. Eva was grinning? Sapphire looked bored. Vaye had her brows furrowed. When moments like this happened, I wished I was a vampire so I could read their minds. I just couldn't help but let my curiosity take over. I wanted to know what's on their mind but I knew I would never know unless I ask and they tell me.

With a sigh, I finally decided to break the silence. "Are you sure, Gaia?" I asked, my voice coming out forced.

Gaia sighed, "A hundred percent sure. I think Weiss already knew about this." She gave a knowing look at Weiss who looked down.

"Weiss? Is that true?"

"I-I.. I read it in a book. It said that a war between the angels and other kinds were about to happen. I didn't really think that it would happen so soon. The book said it was supposed to happen when one angel speaks their mind. I don't think an angel has spok-"

"An angel has. And she has fallen." Gaia cut off Weiss, frowning.

"Is God a part of this? Is he the one initiating the war?" Eva asked, her voice bitter and angry. I don't why Eva reacted like that. Maybe Eva had something against God?

"Mind your tongue, you may be a queen but that's a God, whether you like it or not, you must give respect." Pearl scolded Eva, softly smacking Eva's head. Eva sighed and mumbled an apology.

Gaia chuckled, "Thank you, Pearl. To answer your question Eva, God is not a part of this. God knows what is happening but God will not interfere unless necessary. This is about angels, not the God."

"If it's about the angels, why do we have to participate?" Vaye asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I was saving that for last but since you already asked about it, I shall tell you. This is not only about angels but something else that concerns the six of you. What would you call yourselves?" Gaia asked, her tone slightly teasing.

I wondered why she asked that but I guess it was better than getting straight to the point. Her question strangely excited me. I already had an answer when she asked. Feeling confident, I blurted out, "Women!"

Gaia smirked, "Close but no."

I groaned and pouted. Vaye chuckled and answered, "Queens perhaps?"

"Nice try but wrong again."

"A sexy group of women?" Sapphire said, grinning sheepishly. From the corner of my eye, I could see Weiss smiling and shaking her head at Sapphire.

Remember what I said about this being better than getting straight to the point? Well I take it back. I already got bored and I just wanted to know the answer already. Unfortunately, none of our answers were right. I groaned and waited for the others to try again. I got tired of thinking so I'll let them do the work. I'll help when I think of something.

"I'd call us creatures in books and a human?" Eva answered, laughing.

"Funny but no."

"Two vampires, one witch, two werewolves and one human?" Sapphire tried once more.

I sighed in despair. Their answers were getting even more ridiculous as time went by. But I guess they were trying unlike me who had totally given up. I wish I could help but my brain wasn't exactly cooperating with me right now. To be honest, my brain never really cooperated with me unless it was about Vaye. Stupid brain. Wait, if I called my brain stupid, technically I'm calling myself stupid? Oh my gee, I'm stupid. Sue me.

Pearl raised her hand and I tried my best not to laugh. It was like we were in a classroom and Gaia was our teacher. Pretty funny. Gaia motioned Pearl to answer.

"We're homosexuals." She stated that with a straight face, it made Sapphire and Eva laugh out loud. I also found it a little funny because I was giggling.

Gaia smiled, "Don't laugh because Pearl's answer is correct."

My jaw dropped and so did Eva's and Sapphire's. "So we're involved because we're lesbians?" Vaye asked, her eyes slightly turning dark red. I frowned and held her hand to calm her down which worked.

"Yes. An angel has finally mentioned homosexuality in heaven. Unfortunately, she was stripped off her title because two high ranked angels did not agree with her. Sadly, the majority won and the angel has fallen."

"Who were the angels that went against her?" Weiss asked.

"Gilan and Melphim."

"I thought they were supposed to be good guys?" Sapphire asked, her brows furrowed.

Gaia nodded, "They are. They just believe that Adam was made for Eve, not Adam and Steve."

"So now what? A bunch of angels are declaring war just because we're gay?" Eva's voice was harsh. I guess she really has something against those in heaven.

"They're targeting all homosexuals. Not just you six. You have to stop this. They're planning to destroy homosexuality once and for all. Bisexuals, pansexuals, transgenders and a lot more are included."

"How do we do that?" Vaye asked.

"An army of vampires, witches and wizards, werewolves and demons."

I frowned, "Demons?"

"You'll know soon." Gaia said, instead of elaborating about the 'demons' thing.

"Wait a minute! What's the name of the angel who has fallen?" Weiss asked. I just realized that none of us even asked about that. Good thing Weiss remembered.

Gaia smiled, "She's the Fallen Queen of angels."

"Angeline Grace."
