Chapter 4: Chapter 3: Coffee?
Wow I'm really not getting any feedback. Is it because I'm too good? Too bad? Or just not enough content? Well hopefully more will come.
———————————————————-
(1st POV)
"So, the trickster huh, how was your time as Loki" I ask, looking at my lil bro who thought he could escape my eyes. Time cannot exist without Space, meaning I have a small dominion over the concept of Space. Not as strong as My dominion over Time, but strong enough to move the entire planet. So I can see everything happening on just this planet. I don't usually use this ability, only when I want to find something I use it.
"Ah, you caught me? I just wanted to have some fun. Wait, you're not going to take me back are you!?" He says abit scared of going back.
"What? No! Why the fuck would I take you back. You'd just mess up everything. I can down here to relax. Michael is up my ass since the apocalypse is close. He wants everything to happen the way he envisioned it. So I just left." So reply back, quelling his worry.
"That's all you had to say, come join me. Let's get this part started!" He says in celebration as more scantly dressed women come into the room, sitting around me, whiles caressing my body.
'Oh Heavenly Father, tonight I might lose my chastity.' I think in self mockery.
As the hours go by, me and Gabriel had fun, doing so recreational drugs, playing around with the women. This guy is trying to corrupt me with lust.
~~~~~~~~~
-The next day-
Waking up, I spot three women on my bed, one on my left and right and the other on my chest. That was one wild night. This human body has a low tolerance. Excusing myself from the room, I see Gabriel sitting on a couch.
"So lets talk business, who's side are you on?" He asks me
"No one's side, I predict the fight between Lucifer and Michael will not go the way they envision it to go. After the Apocalypse, I'm going to abdicate my seat in Heaven. I don't want to lead Heaven. I've done enough work during these eons." I reply back to him.
"You really think so? Heaven will be a mess if you leave. Raphael will take charge, and who knows what will happen."
"That's not my problem. Who told Father to abdicate his throne. If he stayed, he didn't even have to get involved in anything, his mere presence would be enough. But no, he decided to leave. So why should I stay and fix the mess he made." This silences Gabriel, who, although the youngest, wanted the most recognition from God.
"Anyways, I'm leaving. Don't torment the Winchesters more than you have too. A little joke or two, but don't take it to far." I say before getting up and teleporting this body to a diner. I haven't had Earths food in a while.
Ordering some food, I go over the plan I've had in mind since the beginning of creation. No one except me, knows what my plan is.
As I finish my meal, I decide to take a walk through the city. On my way through the city, I walk past a library. On the window, I see a promotion for a book called Supernatural.
'Wait a minute, wasn't this….' I think before entering the bookstore to pick up the Supernatural book. Written by Carver Edmund. 'Interesting' I think with a smile.
"It seems as though the current prophet is doing his job." I say out loud, garnering strange looks In the library. So I decided to leave and do whatever I want now that I'm down here.
Leaving the library, I decided to take a walk down an alley way, I've kept hearing the growling of a young woman as if she's hungry but resisting something. So walking down the dark alleyway, I turn the corner and stop.
What I see is a young teen, kneeling in front of a dead man, trying her hardest not to consume him.
"Interesting." I muse out loud, causing her to snap her head towards me. I really need to keep my thoughts in my head.
"Grrrrrrr, Grrrrrrrr," she growls out me, and lunges at me, with long sharp nails. One of her scelera is fully black, with red irises. The blood vessel of her eyes become a bright red colour. So she's an ancient ghoul. One of the last living pureblood.
Before she reaches me to attack, I put my hand out and stop time for her. Floating in mid air, I use my powers to put her to sleep by increasing her melatonin levels. Releasing my time stop on her, she drops to the ground, she really needs a deep sleep.
"Sigh, I can't really leave her out here. She still has some humanity in her." I say before burning the dead man to ashes. No evidence.
Picking her up like a sack of potatoes, I dissapear from the spot. As if I've never been there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(POV Change)
My name is Amelia, and I'm a ghoul. I learnt from my mother when I turned 15 that I was a ghoul and that for a ghoul to survive, we need to eat human flesh. I was absolutely disgusted by what she said. She told me food will start to taste inedible and my cravings for human flesh would turn me into a mindless monster if I don't eat.
After my mother told me this, I ran away from home. I was scared. My mother was a monster and I'm just like her. Running away from home was much harder than I thought. So I returned home after a day to find out my mother was no longer in the house. I searched everywhere for her. I broke down crying under blood started coming out of my eyes.
Scared and alone, I lived on my own for two more years. However things started to change gradually. Food no longer taste the same, I'm becoming more and more erratic. It becomes hard for me to digest food without vomiting it back up. Continuing for two whole years, I started to lose weight, becoming incredibly skinny bordering anorexia.
One day, I left school and took the usual route to my home. I'm currently in 12th grade, but I fear I may starve myself to death before I could graduate. Going into the alleyway, someone comes behind me and stars to put pressure on my throat. Scared and confused I started to fight back. All of a sudden, I had this burst of strength I never knew I had and threw the man away with my elbow. Everything becomes hazy then but I remember, my nails became long, and I started to cut the man with my bare hands.
Slice after slice I dismembered the man whiles crying my eyes out. I didn't want to do this, I tried to stop myself but I couldn't. It's as if my instincts took control of my body.
Seeing the man lying in his blood, I started salivating. I was hungry. But this hunger came from the depths of my stomach. Walking towards the dead man, I put my arms out to reach for him but I gained a moment of clarity and stoped arm with a firm grip of my other.
I don't want to become a monster like my mother. I just want to live a normal human life. To gain more clarity I tried to resist by biting in my arm to stop myself from consuming the dead man.
"Interesting," I heard a low voice say behind me.
Snapping my head back towards the voice I see a middle aged man, he looked completely human except for his silver eyes. Losing rationality, I lunge and the man and I almost done the same thing I did to the man who attacked me. However before anything happened, my world suddenly turned dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(1st POV)
Sigh
Going through the girls memories, I see what she's struggling with. A transition from human to a monster. To keep being human, she starved herself of her race's food.
Sigh, what to do. If I leave her be, she will continue degenerating and will start killing indiscriminately, exposing herself and the supernatural world to the humans.
Leaving her in her house, I teleport back to this meat sacks home, before exiting. Anymore time within the human suit, the human would've started disintegrating since it cannot hold an archangels power.
So as I search for a new human vessel, I chance upon a coffee shop. Isn't coffee the only human staple a ghoul could consume? Is this perhaps fate?
Possessing the owner of the small coffee shop, another middle aged Caucasian man with a nicely shaped bearer, aswell as a scar on his cheek, i absorb his memories. The coffee shop was located in near a motel, so i can interact with humans more. Since im staying here i rent a room at the motel for myself.
This will now be my base of operations. It's perfect. Closing up the shop, I put away all the tables and clean the store. After I finished, I grab the girl from her home and teleport her to my motel room. Waiting for her to wake up.
~~~~~~~
-The next day-
Watching some television all night is one of the best ways to cure an angels boredom. That is the only thing someone as powerful as me suffers from. Eons of boredom. I've got to give it to the humans, I love their inventions.
After a couple more hours, I notice the girl is starting to wake up.
"Ugh, where am I?" She groans as she starts to sit up.
"In a motel." I reply without turning away from the TV.
"Who are you, and what do you want from me?!" She asks in a panic tone.
"Me? I'm the one who stopped your hungry ass from devouring a man. Secondly, you don't have anything I want." I reply back to her.
"Was everything that happened yesterday real?" She asks in an anxious tone.
"Real life is often stranger than fiction." I reply back. Turning off the TV I turn towards her.
"You are a ghoul. A pureblooded one. A second generation. Your mother was most likely an Alpha. Ghouls are mostly women, they are basically cannibals, but with much much more strength than the average human. They get their sustenance from human flesh. They have a distaste for anything other than humans. The only reason why I saved you is because you have a humans mindset. I bought you here since your not only a danger to yourself, but others around you." I explain to her.
"Follow me." I order, as we leave the hotel room and enter the coffee shop.
"Help me set up the store," I once again order as she looks at me strangely.
"What are you waiting for, set up the tables."
Hearing that, she squeeked before running off to set up the tables. As she sets up, I brew a set of coffee, from scratch. Handmade coffees are always the best. During the night, I travelled around the world to gather the most delicious and rarest coffee beans in the world. If I'm too do something human I should be the best at it.
After finishing the brewing, I pour two cups of coffee.
"Here, drink this." I call out to her. As she sees the coffee cup, she nervously picked up the coffee and drank a tiny sip of it. Most likely scared it would taste revolting to her.
All of a sudden she starts to chug down the hot coffee, quenching her thirst. She starts crying and bawling her eyes out.
"These past years must've been tough of you, huh." I console the girl, who's been alone for two years.
After a couple of minutes she stops crying, and starts to get her bearings in control.
"If you have any questions now is the time to ask them." I say, I can tell she's very curious about who I am.
"What are you?" She asks, silver eyes is an inhuman trait. The only conclusion she came up with is that I'm not human.
"Me? I'm an angel."
To be continued…..

Thank you slothadvocate for helping me cement the idea of a monster hideout. As you can read I'm going with the Tokyo ghoul route with anteiku. In my opinion anteiku was a really good idea for monsters to sort of live a human life.
So ive gone with this route. If you have any suggestions, you can just comment and I'll see if I should add them in or not.
To be honest, I really just started writing this in the spur of the moment. If I do well in this, I'll do it full time and I'll start having a consistent release date.
Anyways leave a comment, and I'll see you in the next chapter.
