Heavens, but it wouldn’t be worth it. If he ever takes his revenge into action he will make each individual suffer. He wouldn’t be Julian if he didn’t torture his victims.
“Julian. Your attitude, and your lack of comprehension to where your place is, has made me even more upset since I have waited for you here. I will enjoy every single word I will utter.” Gabriel smiles a cruel smile that would send anyone to run. Julian stands up and stands his ground. “Your new assignment is in Rochester, Minnesota. To a woman named Alyssa Pike.”
That was the final blow. With great speed Julian appears in front of Gabriel. His face is just a few inches from his superior’s. His eyes show the cruelty of what he was before centuries ago. His being is now being controlled by his past as all his hate, rage, and urge to kill appears. “You son of a-” He’s too stuck in controlling his own fury to finish his sentence. With the speed of an Immortal he appears in a flash to the other side of the room and throws his fist at the cement wall. The wall cracks under the force and slowly the affect part of the cement wall falls, showing one large open hole. You can’t put me with her!” He yells in frustration and panic.
Gabriel continues to smile. “I can, and I did. You will protect her. You will consul her when she needs it, and if you do decide to go against the one simple task. I will know. You will need to face my personal form of punishment. Of course it is a very slow, painful, could lead to death if it was not you, I’m sure you don’t want to experience it. So follow my order, or else your blood will lie in my hands.” He claps his hands in amusement. “It is simple.”
“You know exactly why I can’t go back.”
“I do know. That is why it entertains me much to see your fear.”
“If I go I don’t promise to control my temper and not kill her.”
“You will protect her. You will be her Elim or you will face the God himself.”
“Why do you want me to go back? You forced me to disappear from there years ago?”
“It is my job to protect those in danger and your plan was to kill her. I did not take you away from her. That was your choice when your thoughts surrounded on her murder. You decided your wings over your pet.”
He knows that he chose his wings over her because he wouldn’t give up his soul for a woman who doesn’t deserve it. “Don’t call her that. You gave me no choice. You knew exactly what I would choose.”
“For a man that is meant to hate the woman he loves, you do seem very protective of her.”
“Don’t you dare touch her Gabriel. I will turn your threat against you and make you cry in agony.”
Gabriel just chuckles. The Authority Elim finds the situation entertaining. No matter how much hatred Julian has over Alyssa a part of him still wants to believe that he made the right choice. That Alyssa was as innocent as she looked, but he’s wrong. He knows who Alyssa is. And he doesn’t make the same mistake twice.
“I can do what pleases me, Elim.” Gabriel spreads his wings to its fullest form. “Your love for your pet is seen clearly. I found a way to use it to my advantage. Now get a plane ticket tomorrow. I want you there and start right away. You have no time to lose.” Gabriel begins to walk towards the door, but stops just in front of Julian. “Remember your choices, Julian. You will need them to guide you.” He walks out the door and disappears in the night sky.
Julian’s anger, frustration, and regret lead him to weaken the structure. He exits the cement building and jumps on his motorcycle. The warehouse collapses to the ground. He speeds off into the night with one thought. He will see Alyssa once again.

Alyssa runs through the hallway to the auditorium. Her black pumps click and clock with each step. She has her grey business pants along with a matching vest and a white long sleeve blouse that fits her tight yet professional. She has
