The Wrath of Jeremy (49 page)

Sam’s eyes shifted to the skies, and then
back to him. She was terrified of what she felt would come of this,
but her soul’s love for him was too great, and it blinded her
intellect and third eye from fighting him any longer, never wanting
to see him unhappy. “Yes, I will.”

She held out her hand and handsome Lucifer
poked her finger with a sharp pin, and her blood trickled onto the
pin’s metal. “With this blood, it will be Jastian’s demise, his
death, the only death. And this blood will never shed, I promise
you, my love.” Lucifer then kissed her on the lips and the blood
started to shine a tint of blue to its color. “Thank you, Sam.”

Another flash of light began again, and when
the light died, the sight of Lucifer and Jastian standing in the
crystal-like room appeared.

Lucifer put the pin up to Jastian’s mouth and
he opened his jaws up wide. A single drop of Sam’s blood hung from
the pin and dropped into Jastian’s lips. “With this blood, it is
your enemy, for your soul will expire if it touches your flesh,”
Lucifer spoke in decibels, watching the drop of blood pour into
Jastian’s mouth; he swallowed it.

Jastian’s body started to gleam an aura of
blue around him, frightening the tiny, fairy-like creatures, which
were flying about in the air so greatly that they all swarmed
together and flew out of the room through a large opening that led
to the outside. Then, once the light vanished, Jastian stared in
bewilderment, asking, “Master, whose blood is it?”

“I shall never tell you. Only I shall know,
Jastian.” Suddenly, before Lucifer was about to begin talking
again, he stopped himself and looked at Jastian in uncertainty. “I
just gave your eyes birth, my creation. It seems like you are
getting smarter, for your question hides a mysterious intention to
its tone,” whispered Lucifer in an inquisitive voice.

“Master, I sense your powers, but I feel a
new genius, a fresh, new type of power coming to me.”

Massive concern took over Lucifer’s eyes, his
hearing, his mind, wanting to know what power Jastian spoke of.
Without time to think, Lucifer went up to Jastian’s eyes and urged,
“Just promise me this, Jastian, through your advancement, you shall
always protect me!”

Jastian crossed his fingers behind his back
and answered, “I promise.”

“You promise, what?”

“I promise, Master!” Jastian grinned a bit,
and added, “What about Sam, your love, the one that makes you
content? Did you also want me to protect her?”

Lucifer gazed into Jastian’s eyes again with
concern. “How did you know about her?”

“Everything you know, I know. Yet I don’t
know my destiny of death, not yet.”

“You listen to me. Yes, I want you to protect
her, and I want you to stay away from her as well. Remember, I made
you, and I know how to destroy you.”

Another flash of light occurred, and beastly
Lucifer opened his eyes and saw himself again, with beauty to his
image, falling from the skies of Heaven during the great fight
between him and God. He saw Sam crying in the distance and himself,
plummeting into the unknown. Looking closer, Jastian came into his
view, standing on a ledge of one of the many mountains in the
distance, and his flashback forced his eyes to travel toward the
mountain. Up close, Jastian was sadistically laughing. “Now you
can’t kill me.”

Tears of rage were drawn over Lucifer’s
vision, his flashback, and another blaze of light appeared, and
when it vanished, the black lands came into Lucifer’s view again.
The blood-covered moon, the aroma of a burnt war with evil in its
tow was distinguished by Lucifer, and, as he looked up, the
perception of God’s eyes smiling at him was seen.

“Now you remember,” God whispered.

Lucifer nodded his head, got up from the
ground and looked over at Jastian’s body lying on the earth still.
He then glanced over at Sam, and ran over to her, crying again
toward her deathly figure. With his hand of spikes, Lucifer placed
his finger on her lips and saw blood that was peering out over her
chin slowly, as if it was kissing her beauty, crawling out from
inside of her for the first time like a newly birthed infant. He
dabbed his finger in it, and some of the blood came onto his
finger. He then kissed Sam once again. “I’m sorry, my love. You
were right, and now I will make it right.”

Meanwhile, Jastian recovered his wounds and
got up from the ground, scanning his eyes, searching the ground of
black for his enemy who was the King of Darkness. “How about
another round, or do you finally give in?” Jastian shouted,
standing behind Lucifer a good distance away.

Lucifer walked over to him and stood eye to
eye, gawking at his creation called Jastian with a hidden smile
behind his beastly face as he felt the rage for Jastian growing
inside of him, craving to attack him without any memory of mercy.
“I will destroy you now, Jastian,” he spoke with a calm tone while
Jastian laughed. “But you must be punished. So, rather than you
evaporating into oblivion, I shall assign you a proper judgment,
for you are my creation, and the wrath of my black soul will render
your discipline. Jastian, you shall be imprisoned in Hell, my
world, for eternity, where your evil will never expose itself to
this land or any other again. You are sentenced, Jastian.”

Jastian’s laugh ceased, ending with a trickle
of curiosity toward Lucifer’s brave words, noticing some truth in
them. So, Jastian pulled out a horn from his arm and held it up to
Lucifer’s head. “Not if I kill you first!” he shouted.

Lucifer held up his finger with Sam’s blood
on it, forcing shock to come to Jastian’s eyes of acuity. Without
any mercy, Lucifer closed his eyes and placed her blood on
Jastian’s reptilian skin and suddenly his flesh started to melt,
his screams becoming so loud that the mountain to their left
collapsed from its echo. The sounds of angels’ voices grew and
danced in the air, and the earth began to quake violently. Clouds
ruptured, raining blood over the land, and the skies formed
lightning, not coming from clouds at all. Jastian, crying loudly
toward his Master, fell to the ground, his powers shooting out from
him and entering back into Lucifer and back into God. It was a red
light, a beam that echoed its energy greatly, and the rest of it
shot out toward the land, covering it in its entirety. Jastian’s
melting body started to levitate in the air without his own doing,
and it headed toward the Lake of Fire. Jastian, with no powers at
all, dived into the Lake, its scorching pit, leaving Lucifer and
God staring at each other while the flames from the Lake still
burned out their wickedness.

“You did it, Lucifer,” God spoke in relief
with a hint of pride to his attitude. “I am free and so is the
Universe; shall it be.” Disregarding God’s words, Lucifer raced
over to Sam’s lifeless body and hugged her firmly. Without words,
reactions or thoughts, God shined a blue light from his chest and
it went over to Sam’s lifeless body. Her eyes lit up, opened and
Lucifer and her lips touched with bliss and tears. Her wound was
healed and her life had returned. “And that is the last gift I
shall give you, Lucifer,” God smiled. “Now, Lucifer, back to before
the battle. Why did you defy me a second time?”

Lucifer’s beastly, bloody face smirked toward
Sam’s smile and he helped her up from the cold ground. Wiping his
tears of contentment away, Lucifer walked over to God alone,
looking back toward Gabriel, David and Michael, still hiding like
cowards behind the boulder. “Father, I know it is wrong to blame
others for defying a God. But when it comes to me defying you the
first time, you should look to your not-so-good angels named
Michael, Gabriel, David, Christopher and Peter.”

“Lucifer, you know that I cannot see the
actions of angels, I could only see the actions of humans, for
angels are from my soul and do not need my judging. Aside from you,
or course. If this is factual what you tell me, then I can’t allow
it to be truthful to my mind,” God said. Gabriel began smiling
toward Jeremy, believing in his heart that God loved them more than
Lucifer. “Now I hate to say this, but I must, for the evil still
lives in you, I can feel it. Take your love, and go to where you
belong; you will see your loved ones there, too,” God yelled out,
pointing toward the flame-filled Lake. “I never want to see your
face again, Lucifer, ever!”

Lucifer walked slowly to the Lake and Sam
grabbed onto his hand, looking at each other’s tear-filled eyes as
they proceeded to step their feet into the Dead Sea that was now
alive. Suddenly God turned to Gabriel and saw an evil smirk on his
face. God turned back to Lucifer and said, “Stop walking.”

Lucifer and Sam stopped and turned around to
look at God.

“I can’t see the actions of angels, but I can
tell if they are deceitful to me. Gabriel, did thou ever hurt
Lucifer and allow yourself to be partially to blame for his first
attempt in defying me?” God asked. Gabriel looked at David and
Michael, not knowing what to say.

“No, Father, I would never do something like
that,” Gabriel replied with apprehension. God turned to David and
Michael.

“David and Michael, are you partially to
blame for Lucifer’s action of defying me for the first time?”

“No Father,” Michael and David answered,
bowing to God.

God turned his head and saw Curtis and Victor
in the distance walking toward them.

God faced Christopher and Victor, saying,
“Oh, there you are, I was speculating when the two of you would
show up.” He walked up to them and peered deeply into their eyes.
“Christopher, when Lucifer took the life away from you, did you
have any cause for him to do so? Were you to blame for his trial on
rebelling and defying me for the first time?” God asked Curtis in a
loud mode.

“First, my name is now Curtis, and second, I
don’t have to answer to you. You are not my God anymore, only your
father is my God,” Curtis said without consideration to God’s rank.
God turned away from Curtis’s arrogant silhouette and pivoted to
Victor.

“Peter, do you undergo the same
emotions?”

“I’m Victor now, and yes, I do feel the same
as Curtis,” Victor answered. Immediately, God grabbed onto Curtis
and Victor’s right ears, squeezed them tight, hearing them
screaming from the pain and not having any mercy toward their
agony.

“Since you are on my soil, you will answer to
me now!” God yelled out. He then let go of their ears and pushed
them with one large shove, and they fell to the ground. “And
secondly, bad angels, Jastian is dead, and was never my father.
When Lucifer created him, I knew of this, but still forgave him.
And when Jastian became too powerful, I was forced to call him
‘Father’, forced to accept that he became the Universe by accident,
and yes, I still forgave Lucifer for it. But, my bad angels, the
one who created Jastian just condemned him to Hell for
eternity.”

Their eyes widened in terror as they watched
God’s smile grow finer and higher. “Fine, no I didn’t have any part
in Lucifer’s first attempt to defy you,” yelled Curtis.

“Me neither, I didn’t have anything to do
with it,” Victor said, rubbing his sore ear. They both got up from
the ground and stood up straight, making sure they kept their
distance from God by stepping back a few steps.

God turned away from them and walked to the
shoreline of the burning lake, gazing out at it, feeling the heat
from the flames brushing against his image. “This wrath that you
all delivered has been delivered successfully, of course with the
help of Lucifer’s battle against Jastian. But the last part of the
eighth sign failed because of Lucifer,” God announced.

“What part is that?” Sam asked while her
tears kept on falling.

“The sinners have been delivered to the
depths of Hell, but the non-sinners have not been delivered to
their home yet: the home of Ecstasy, of Heaven. There are only five
hundred inhabitants who were supposed to be delivered to my
dwelling, and most of them are children. When Lucifer pulled away
from the circle, it allowed them to be placed over there!” God
pointed his right index finger across the Lake. There in the
distance lay people, most of them children, waiting to be delivered
to Heaven, sitting on the ground in puzzlement and wonder.

“Lucifer, this earth is nothing but waste and
void now, all those people will not survive here!” God’s tears fell
from his eyes more. “Since Jastian’s soul is no longer here, the
earth has no soul, for my soul, I promised myself, will never come
here again after my wrath. It shall rot without proper energy, or
deity to take hold of its innocence and breathe life into it
again.” Suddenly God turned to Lucifer, and yelled abruptly, “Why
did you defy me again, Lucifer?”

Jeremy looked down at the black earth,
ashamed and perplexed at his actions. “I know you showed love in
your heart, but you, yes you, are evil, Lucifer, even though you
killed Jastian. Now you remember the evil that you put forth in the
past and now in the present!”

“Father, I know I have sinned and I do
remember the evil acts I did. I don’t want to remember, but I do, I
guess this is one of my punishments for defying you. But this life
that you gave me, or gave us, this life somehow changed my black
soul into a soul full of light, partial light.… But, Father, you’ve
also defied me. You told me that I had to deliver this wrath along
with Gabriel, Michael and David, but you didn’t tell me that my
soul regained love for life. What I mean is, when I saw this woman
whom I love with all of my black- or light-filled heart, walking
toward this lake, something clicked in me. You could have warned me
about Sam, but you didn’t. Additionally, you didn’t tell us about
Jastian and how he would be so cruel to us, how I created him and
only I can destroy him,” Jeremy cried.

God placed his head down. “Listen to me,
Lucifer!”
