in different centuries.
Deanna pulled out a large brown book. The casing was made of
leather and the book weight almost a ton. She nearly dropped the book; she
placed it on the floor slowly and peered at the title. It read Umbra et caligin e it did not make sense as she knew it was of a different language but
somehow she understood it “Shadow and Darkness” she whispered to herself. It
was weird understanding a language she had never heard nor learned. She quickly
put the book back and walked to another shelf. This time she pulled out a red
book, it was huge and had leather strains around it. The Spine was made of gold
colored metal. She wondered if it was actually gold, the title read историята
на ангелите , this time Deanna did not
understand what it said. “ Ahh I see you found a book
you like” she turned so quickly and saw Maureece was
sitting in one of the chairs that Shericnaclus sat in. “ Maureece !” she ran down the spiral staircase almost
tripping “did they take you too! Who are they! How did you find me” she said
pulling her best friend to the door. He simply stood there smiling at her, “ Maureece , are you stupid or did they drug you or something!
We have to get out! Show me how you got in!” Deanna started pulling him again.
“Deanna, please” he said “there is something you should know” he stared at her.
His dark eyes were dark. It looked like a bottomless pit that she would fall
into. “What?” she looked back. She could feel herself getting angry again. “ Maureece , you better tell me this is not a surprise
birthday party or I will ring your neck!”. She thought she saw a sparkle in his
eye like he was laughing but trying not to show how much he thought she was funny.
He took her hand and gave it a gently squeeze, “just a few moments” he said. He
sat back down and closed his eyes. Deanna was in awe. She did not know what was
going on, her best friend was acting weirder then he already was. The doors to
the library opened and three males entered. Shericnaclus was one of the males and the darker hair one named Abraxos was there too. The third one she did not know who it was but he looked
familiar. Maureece stood and Deanna thought he gave
her a wink before walking towards the door and leaving. She saw Shericnaclus and Abraxos guard
the front doors, standing like guards near the entrance. The man stared down at
her and she could see that he looked happy to see her. “Sit my darling” he said
and she knew where she had seen him. He was her father.
Chapter 3: The Guardians of Heaven’s Gate
Deanna could not believe what she heard. Her father had
explained his disappearance from her life and why he had to do it. It was for
her sake and her mother’s he said. She could not forgive him that easily but
the things he told her made sense in an emotional way. Somehow, she knew she
was glad that he was there now to protect her and that in a way he did not walk
out Deanna and her mother. “There are more things that I have to tell you my
dear” and he turned to scan the room “how about we take a walk around the
library” he said. She obeyed and they started walking around the thousands of
books. He explained about the danger he would have put them in and she did not
know if she could believe her ears. Everything from, heaven to the angels and nephilim did not make sense. “It may be too much to take
but” he reached for a golden looking book “ ahh here
it is”. There was no title on the book but it showed a picture of an a male
that looked very much like Shericnaclus and Abraxos , even a lot like her father but this male had wings
like an angel’s. “I cannot explain everything but maybe this could in a better
way, I know you love to read as I have been told” he smiled. He took the book and
placed it in her hands. “Read it with an open heart” he said with that he
smiled, turned and left. Shericnaclus and
