Natalie Yacobson - The Seventh Angel. Crypt of the Seven Angels

Blaise lit and easily exhaled into the ceiling with a stream of smoke. She began smoking only recently. The feeling was such that inside the lungs settled the dragon and rushes out.

Legends about Edwin, this is what she adored. The books of the Dragon Empire cycle lay on the table all in bookmarks. Blaise bought them in the book shop quite recently. Something attracted her in the title or design. She herself did not remember, but it was the first thing she bought for money, and not just took away. Since then, she has reread books many times. The protagonist was so reminded her Damian that she wanted to beat the wall with a fist from the depression. Damian was also beautiful as an angel, but a strong dragon dreamed inside him.

He could all! As a demon, he had just escaped from the hell, he was able to show such miracles, which is not for the power of a single juggler. And how he fought! He had so much energy and agility, which seemed to be alone able to lay whole troops. A truly demon!

«You missed such a guy,» the smart voice of the mind suggested immediately.

Blaise only shrugged. Everything came out stupid and spontaneously. Because of Luciana. She was charmed of Luciana. And all the familiar stereotypes collapsed.

Now Luciana is dead, and the memories of Damian suddenly became very painful. The fact that he disappeared is a serious loss. Blaise understood it only now, as if waking up from the anesthesia of unnatural love. The lack of Damian now affected the same way as if she had lost some vital organ from her body. For example, the heart.

Damian will no longer return. He went overnight and dissolved in the world of urban streets, as a demon who came out of hell and returned back to it. It was useless to call him or search. He had no addresses, no phone, no account on social networks. Where will you find him? She didn’t even know him last name. And the very name of Damian could not be real.

On the night of their acquaintance, Damian emerged from somewhere from the darkness, as if Ginn, easily sprouting from the roof, and suggested:

«Give me a name! Anyone what you want.»

According to him, only the hostess could choose the name to impart his personal demon, which he considered herself. Blaise considered him a charming psycho. But some way or another, the transaction between them was concluded. He will help her to take revenge, she promises him hers soul. Her enemies will be destroyed and she from mistress of demon will turn into his property.

The terms of the transaction were not fulfilled until the end. Damian helped her to accomplish revenge, but he did not take her soul. Or taken away? Blaise did not even know! Does the absence of a soul feel in the body? Suddenly, what she became so insensitive, as it is now, is there a soulless? Her body lives, and the soul remained in the claws of the disappeared spirit? Then it is not surprising why Damian is not coming back. He got his. Although it seems to be with the death of the last enemy, it turned out that he now does not want her soul from Blaise, but her love and her body.

He appeared suddenly and suddenly disappeared. He snapped like a genie from the lamp, he helped and disappeared, did not leave any traces.

Contrary to all his insane confidence in the fact that he is a real demon, they with Blaise did not conclude any blood contract and did not conduct any magical rites. Unless not count the art of fighting and owning weapons with something sorcery. When Damian had sought her in the struggle for life, it seemed that he would give her some kind of witchcraft. The case was not at all in the ability to use weapons or fists, but in an incredible force, which woken in her with his every lesson. He was engaged in her taking struggle until her fragile slender body would seem to be iron. Once she understood that he could fight against enemies herself. Then the question was only about her enemies from flesh and blood. They belonged to the most tops of society, and to remove them was very difficult. And barely faced them, it turned out that the real enemies were from marble.

It all started from the night, when a noisy holiday ended with a massive murder. Friends and business partners who came to the party ruthlessly crushed everyone the family Rosiers’. Besides Blaise. Suddenly began the fire and interference of some mysterious force did not give them to touch her. In the morning, her corpse did not find on the ashes, probably they were looking for her to kill. At this night, she became acquainted with Damian, and as if she had hit in the other world. He seemed to be able to become invisible and to make invisible any accommodation that occupied on business rights. Such an aura of invisibility, like around him and his affairs, hung usually around Rosier’s crypt. Therefore, the enemies did not destroy the crypt, but they assigned all estate of Blaise.

They were seven. Alive people from flesh and blood, they were from the elite, they possessed a great influence and wanted her death. Is it a joke? But she also had seven patrons. Blaise believed, despite the misfortune that happened to the family that she was protected by the statues. She was prayed before them, but they were silent. And the only one who responded to her prayers about revenge, stated that he was a demon who came for her soul. In fact, he turned out to be her only patron. As well as a teacher and a mentor. Damian opened her the science to survive. And the statues in the crypt remained just a useless decoration. Like all shrines. You can pray to them. They will not help, do not come to life. But no matter how funny, the statues came to life when no one needed their help. As soon as the last enemy lay in the coffin, as angelic wings waved coldly, there were exhortations that they were ready to fold all the treasures of the universe to her feet. After all, she is the last descendant of the Rosiers’ family. It just happened that they should put the whole world to her feet. Where were they only when the enemies killed her whole family when the blade was brought to her own throat? Why didn’t they come to life when she appealed to them?

How easily patrons became her enemies! You just need to answer prayers on time. In addition, the legends of the family that, together with the patronage the angels bring a terrible evil, there was no fairy tale.

The first gift that the seven of the crypt brought Blaise, was the crushed Luciana’s corpse. That night she woke up, feeling someone marbled next to her. It wasr trying to strangle or to hug her.

Blaise remembered that the Rosier’s family takes his roots from one elected Virgin and seven marble sculptures. It so happened that the founder of the family practised witchcraft, somehow he got these statues or only invited them from other worlds. He was looking for a special bride, and when he found her, he began to build a palace for her. Allegedly, this palace was supposed to become a luxurious gift for a wedding. In fact, it was a crypt for seven marble angels, where he was going to bring his bride to sacrifice her to them. But for some reason the statues chose her.. From her began the clan of Rosier. Thus, the family was half a flesh, half of the marble.

Blaise did not feel herslf marble. Unless when she fought. And she also did not want to have sex with sculptures. The story of Delayla, who gave birth to the first child of Rosier from seven alive sculptures, could be both invention. But the living sculptures themselves were not the the fiction.

As soon as the seven deities of Blaise, whom she prayed, came to life, as she understood that she called them in vain.

The insight appeared suddenly and left an unpleasant precipitate. She realized that they are so cruel that it was suicide to worship them.

It is difficult to break, but even more difficult to escape from her gods, barely stopped believing in them. Blaise has long understood that it is impossible to hide from them. She can only fight against them. Firearms, knives, leaks, hammers, even witchcraft – In this case, all means were good. But not all worked. Marble is not a flesh. It was not important for the angels from the crypt, that she no longer wants to believe in them. The main thing is that they stubbornly believed that she, the last of Rosiers’, still belongs to them. This is where self-defense was required.
