My Heaven

-The Worst Date Ever-

By Michael James

Part 1

I dumped her

On a space city,

over a glass of wine...

“You must be joking.” She was not. “You swore never to have sex ever again!?” Actually she was still a virgin, so she has never had sex. “What kind of relationship do you think we can have?” She asked him that sex wasn't a deciding factor was it? “I'm sorry, but it is. To be honest I've been thinking about your chest all night. If I know now, I'll never tap you, I'm moving on.” Peg pushed her back against the chair telling him to just go away. He stood up and started to the door.

When an eagle of shadow almost cleaved his head with its talon. Peg tripped him as it was going for the kill. She threw a suitra at it and canceled the beast. Then in walked a wraith named Seizure.

“Well Peg, I must say its nice to see so much of your leg. In that slit black dress you are wearing. I thought I might kill your man this evening. You know, just for fun.”

“Actually, I just dumped her.”

“Oh, I don't believe that. Why would she protect you if you were cruel to her. It doesn't matter anyway. I will kill you both tonight.” Peg smacked her foot on the floor hard enough to shatter her shoe. A wall of light separated them from the wraith. She grabbed him and they went out the back door. Right as the shield dissipated. A shadow bird flew off his flesh and he ordered “track them!”

Out on the streets...

“What in gods name is going on!?” Peg smacked his cheek for using the lords name in vane. “Screw you lady. I'm getting out of this before you get me killed.”

“Listen you terrible man... I will not have your death on my conscience. You are going to stay with me until Seizure is gone.” Oh yeah, and how was she going to make him? Peg stopped and looked up seeing the bird coming down right at them. “Move!”

The bird missed them but hit a pedestrian. Upon contact, he had an epic seizure. He spasmed so hard that he snapped his spine. The terrible date shouted what the hell was going on!? He was becoming more hysterical as time went on.

“Okay, I'm an elite paladin and an old enemy is trying to kill us. You either stay with me and live or go get yourself killed. Either way this falls... stop screaming!” As Seizure came around the corner. The guy asked her if she wanted to get physical? “What..? We need to move come on.” The wraith turned into 2 dozen birds and reformed in front of them. It was an almost instant motion.

“You really thought you could outrun me?” The vehicles on the streets stopped before they got between them. Most people ran from their cars in fear.

“You want to do this right now Seizure?” Bring it on. Peg put her finger to her teeth and bit hard. Seizure backed off when he saw this. Her injury produced a little blood. Then the drops of blood went off her finger hovering in mid air, 5 drops total. “Why do you always show up at the worst times?” Seizure looked a bit fearful as the drops started to glow with holy light. One drop shot at him, but he turned to birds before it hit. The other 4 drops claimed 4 birds. Seizure reformed on a roof blocks away. Only now one of his arms was missing.

“You obviously, are not committed to this errand.” Seizure looked to a ball of fire in front of him. If he was scared of Peg, then he would be terrified of Mistress. “You came to me remember. You offered to be a demon, and as your collateral offering. You would bring me that woman's head. Were those not your words?”

“Lady Mistress, I will bring you her head. I was just caught off guard.” The voice in the fire told him that the rank of demon was not passed to cowards. A true demon would not have been afraid of a basic high level spell. His appraisal to be a demon was permanently suspended. With that the fire went out, and Seizure was left in anger.

“I swear I will kill that paladin...”

Part 2

A long fall

At the guys flat...

“I was thinking to myself, what life would be like without sex. Here I brought you a refill.” Peg told him the last one was all she would drink. “Okay, I will just leave it on the counter for you. Shall we move this into the bedroom?” She told him why not.

They laid in bed in their underwear. He held her tight, still thinking he was going to get lucky. All he had to do was play his cards right. Peg was only there to keep him safe. He was a prick in her opinion. Yet there was a feeling of attraction. He was attracted to her because she put him through a rush.

“You know, the first time is...”

“Be quiet!” Why what was? “Be silent!” He felt a rush of chills down his back. “Get your clothes on. My enemy has came back.” She had to be kidding. “Just get your clothes on.”

They were in a sky scraper apartment building. About 33 stories high in the executive section. His bed was right next to the window. He started to move when she told him be still. He looked to the window a saw a black bird fly by. Even he knew he was screwed. The bird flew back and started to hover.

A voice said “you have shamed me woman. I was supposed to be among the great demons. Now... I am forever stuck as a lowly wraith.” Peg stood up in her underwear asking why he thought he would become a demon? “Mistress and I made a deal...”

“Mistress doesn't make wraith demons. She only elects humans to be demons. Why you thought she would honor that deal is beyond stupid.” Other birds started to fly to the window. While this was happening. The guy was getting his gun out of his safe. When he got back to the bedroom minutes later. Peg had her hand on Seizure's throat, and his on hers. The window had not been broken at all.

“Get the hell out of my home!”

“Love don't...” he shot at Seizure and he dummy burst behind the guy. He thanked the guy for getting him out of the dead lock. Now he would die. Seizure threw him through the window. Peg immediately went after him. She dove for him as he fell in a panic.

As they went down, birds went at her cutting her flesh with talons. Her goal was to get to him before 10 stories left. If they passed that mark they'd both die. At 25 stories, She was cut up bad, at 20 stories she was losing blood. She grabbed the man at 13 stories. Followed by blasting the ground with holy light.

When they hit the grass it was jumping from the sidewalk to the street. Half her body had blood on it. She stood up and meditated for a minute. Healing all the lashes on her flesh.

“This may sound sudden, will you marry me?” Peg looked at him with a puzzled expression. What? She told him that he was a fruit cake. “Is that a yes?” She told him she declined his offer. “Well you don't have to make a decision right now?”

“You obviously need professional help.” She looked up and saw the birds flying around her dome of light. Them going into it, would be like dropping a feather into concentrated acid. “Here's the the deal, my barrier is going to fall in a couple minutes. Never shoot a wraith with a gun! Am I unclear in any way?”

“No, I understand completely.” He responded in a state of fear. Peg put her hand over the ground and asked the father for a staff. He granted her request and one rose from the earth. As soon as she had it the barrier fell, but the birds kept distance.

“What's the matter wraith, are you getting cold feet?” Seizure called back it was just nice to see so much of her. “Yes, I'm in my underwear, now are we going to finish this or not?” His voice called out in laughter, as the birds flew away. “Oh no you don't.” She threw her staff like a spear into the flock of birds. She didn't count on him having a plan. The birds absorbed the staffs power. Becoming immune to holy magic for a short while. Still they fled, and Peg didn't understand why.

At a clothing shop in the morning. Peg was bought some stylish hiking clothes. By the man who she couldn't figure out, even a bit. Her stomach started to growl and he offered to buy her breakfast. They went to a cafe and sat down, but on the TV device. News of an epidemic of seizures were breaking out all over the city.

“I really hate that wraith...”

Part 3

Except your fate

At the cafe,

in the ladies room...

“Hear my call and come forth, great arch angel Gabriel.” He answered her summons and appeared through a gold ring. Coming up from the floor. His first 2 thoughts were, why was he in a girls bathroom. The other thought was, her hiking shorts didn't leave a whole lot to imagination. “Master, you are in the wash room for privacy. As for my outfit, I didn't have a lot of choice in the matter.”

“What do you need today?”

“I need a boost, my strength is reaching its limits. And a pesky wraith is making my life undesirable.” Gabriel put his hand on her head and she was juiced with great power. To make matters awkward, 2 teenage girls walked in the restroom and assumed things. “Thanks master, you can go now.” Gabriel vanished in holy light. “Girls I understand this may look confusing, but I'm leaving now.”

An hour later,

on top of the highest building...

“Yes well, I didn't know I was causing such an imbalance.” Peg arrived from the elevator to the roof top, to find 4 wraith. Seizure was in the center, two strong looking wraith were holding him. The 3 were facing another who looked rather pis...

“Paladin walk away, and I will forget I saw you.” Peg looked at him and asked if he was Damnation? “You honor me, by confusing me with our final king. But no, I am Ebola, king of sickness.” She told him she had business with the guy they had restrained. “Do you now? Very well, Seizure if you kill her, you are pardoned. Let him go.”

Peg had a staff in her hand with suitras in the other. Ebola gave Seizure back his arm. Seizure put his hand out and summoned a scythe. Peg chanted a sacred spell and the suitras went around them. Creating a cage, Seizure couldn't break out of.

“Lets begin, paladin.” He turned to birds went behind her then reformed in half a second. Followed by slamming his weapon down trying to cut off her head. She put her staff above blocking his attack. She shouted (gods grace) and heavenly light came from her like an explosion. Seizure turned to birds and evaded the attack.

“Except your fate wraith!” He realized he was likely going to die here. Instead of doing attacks to wear her down. He put all his strength into one blast. The scythe evaporated into shadowy mist. He put his hand out towards her and she did the same.

A blast of demonic energy roared from his hand. In the form of shadow birds. The divine energy that came from her was solid enough it could be held. The two forces hit hard. Making a massive collision that shattered her barrier. The other wraith decided to flee when this occurred. Finally after the event. Seizure vanished, and the collision became a tree. This tree was a result of good and evil forces colliding. In much grander events, planets are created in the ganta in the same way.

From all the power her master gave her, she had used only a 3rd of it. The question she was asking was, it couldn't be that easy? She stood under the tree for hours waiting for him to show up. Seizure however wasn't coming back anytime soon.

He was in Hell...

In Hell,

in a cage...

“Hello little ghost” said Mistress walking up to the cage. Seizure knew he was going to be tortured. He didn't even have the nerve to beg for mercy. “Have you nothing to say?” He failed her, and was ready for punishment. “How valiant, there is another soul that wants your power. Which is why I'm changing you from a wraith to a poltergeist. You will have a one train thought. You will kill a paladin that Peg cares for.” Seizure asked to please keep his mind! “This isn't a debate.”

At a bar,

alone with a drink...

“Did you want something a little bit stronger darling?” The bar keeper asked as she finished her tea. Peg looked around the room, after saying just tea. She saw a guy with friends who noticed her looking at him. She smiled at him and he made a perverse gesture.

“I swear men are just scum...”
