Power

I shook my head so hard in the car that I couldn't see the road for a moment and almost crashed into the oncoming traffic. I have to concentrate! If one of the three girls were to sit next to me now, they would distract me, but unfortunately I am alone with my thoughts.

I eyed the landscape intently to stuff my head with something else. Several perspectives shot back and forth through my mind independently of one another. “I will be strong. Letaya is much prettier than last time and Verona looks four to five years younger. Liz seems to be more cold-hearted than in World War I, she has that emotionless look that I recognize with every eye contact. Do I actually know this Belial? Does his human shell have any supernatural features? "

In fact, until I got there, I was able to distract myself with this ridiculous attempt to think of something else. When I got out, two of the girls were already waiting for me. Letaya and Verona. Elisabeth seemed to be dawdling.

“Huhu, Lilly! And? How was it? ”Verona asked curiously, preparing a ritual of strength on the asphalt parking lot. To do this, she used a piece of chalk to draw on the floor. I hadn't even thought about that anymore. Our full-fledged abilities were not yet fully given to us and we could only get them if we asked the devil for them through a ritual.

In response to Verona's question, I just shrugged my shoulders casually.

A fairly modern sports car drove into the parking lot, and when I looked at the other cars I knew I was probably the only being who didn't have a rich family as the perfect source of money.

Through the windshield we could see that Elisabeth was being driven by someone and that they looked young. We watched Liz when she gave the person a deep kiss and then got out. She took her luggage from the trunk and the car drove away.

Verona was the first to laugh. “Uh, who was that, Lizzy? Your lover? A human? That's not your job at all, ”she cackled.

Liz again seemed not very enthusiastic about Verona's jokes and only replied: "Unlike you , dear Tituba, I went in search of my own kind, because this guy was not human." So it was a vampire acted. Interesting.

In contrast to the other three, I was kind of a single specimen. There were ghosts, but they were like mirror images. They didn't speak, didn't show any emotions, just stood around motionless somewhere in the room and watched the people walking through them like zombies.

Besides, no one could see them, only beings from heaven or hell. I, on the other hand, could be seen by everyone, if I allowed it, I was able to make myself invisible, to walk through walls and to cause explosive mind damage. This spirit damage was like rotating, concentrated energy that could be shot at someone like a bullet. But I rarely used them.

"Letaya, explain our well-engineered plan to the others," asked Verona, who simply ignored Liz's Kontra and continued to paint the symbols on the floor.

Letaya nodded and clapped her hands together. “Well, since you still had families that you were born into and I wasn't, I've been able to fish a few contacts over the last few years that might help us later. So we have a perfect place to live near Frederick, a car, fake IDs and many other things that go into the government system. ”Letaya was born just like us, but the Legion occupied the shell early on and it was on hers Accompanied way. Letaya made an extravagant movement with her forearm, as if to gesticulate to confirm that this topic was over. “Then we come to our mission start after we have finished the ritual. We're driving out of London, Frederick lives further west, in a small town called Slough. I have a navigation system that will take us there immediately. "

"The last time Belial was spotted in London, Letaya," said Liz, crossing her arms over her chest. She had her beautiful black hair braided in a long braid that made her look rebellious. Her eyes were accentuated with dark eyeshadow and kohl, but it suited a vampire.

I, on the other hand, didn't care about looking perfect just when the mission required it. If nobody should see me, I would just make myself invisible. There was something good about being a ghost somewhere. In addition, Satan once mentioned that we should do everything necessary to avoid falling into God's field of vision and appearing normal between people. That didn't necessarily include makeup, but a decent modern name would be a good place to start. Who was called Lilit these days ?

Letaya sighed. “Weren't you listening? What good is it for us to search all of London for a demon that we neither sense nor can we find in any way. When Belial disappeared from Hell, he must have appropriated a human shell. It may also be that he came to the human world just as we did. Just with all his memories. ”That meant that he must have put his being in an infant and knew his true identity from the start. Satan had intended us to grow up in the same town, and he had to have fiddled with our bearer bodies to make us look much the same as we did last time in World War I.

“I agree, Letaya, Liz. A demon that is so powerful is not easy to find, that's why Satan asked us to find him. Just like we found the Grim Reaper at the end of our last mission. "

Liz stopped making a sound, just watched Letaya wait and see until she continued with her plan. “When we find Frederick, let's hear his suggestion and what he knows about. Then we will first make sure that we go to our place of residence. "

"Agreed," Liz said coldly. At the same moment Verona jumped up from the ground and threw the chalk indiscriminately over her shoulder.

"Can we get started?" Letaya asked Verona, who nodded eagerly. We all sat down in the painted pentagram and I wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible. Because the sooner I got out of this city, the more I hoped to think less of Grandma and Grandpa. I missed her already.

"I speak, is that all right for everyone?" Asked Letaya, who had also recited the formula during our last strength ritual. She was the wisest in our group because she knew the devil from her hellish days before we were even born. It was only a few hundred years ago that Legion could control a human body to invade the human world.

The language was ancient Latin, but we knew what the words meant. We each had one arm around the next shoulder next to us so that we were sitting in a circle and looking at each other.

We closed our eyes and repeated a few sentences after Letaya. I already felt how the power awoke in me and triggered a flicker in the pit of my stomach. My blood boiled and instantly felt hot. We put our heads back and turned our thoughts to hell. From one second to the next a lightning-like pain streamed through my entire limbs and reflexively we all let go of each other.
