Chapter Fifteen: Tension

Tristen

She makes her way to me like a frightened lost little girl. Her whole persona does not suit that angel blade she awkwardly carries. She has no idea what she holds in her hand, swinging it back and forth by her side like she’s holding a shopping bag. That blade is the only one of its kind, and only the archangel Michael had the power to use it. It’s time-old. A metal crafted by god and given to Michael. It may not look much to her, but the sword, once pared with the right power, can kill a thousand Shades with one swipe.

I’m going to have to start with the very basics of combat and defense. I’m going to have to go easy, and for me that’s asking a lot. I was raised by nuns and priests until I was recruited. As a child I wasn’t taught the compassion of Michael, but the power and the wrath. I was chosen by those up high to be a leader; my task to train other Sentinels to walk the earth, and eradicate the Shade, by force or exorcism. Then when it was time, to watch over Beth. Over and over I have thought about why she wasn’t raised like me, to prepare her for enlightenment. Why those up high insisted she be human. It makes no sense. But I’m only a soldier in all this. I have no right to question, and that fact has changed me. I now know there are many things I’m not being told, and my faith is dwindling away.

“So.” She waves the sword around with a sexy smile. “Where do you want me?”

“Shit Beth!” I march up to her and take the sword from her hand. “You’re wafting this around like it’s a goddamn flag.”

I take a step back, the history of the sword running through the handle, and into my hand. I’ve never met Michael face to face. I don’t even know if he has a face. When he walked the earth before Beth was born, he resembled a man. But that, like my identity in Fort Carson, could have all been planted. An illusion created for the cause. For all I know he could just be a big giant ball of energy. I smirk to myself, realizing I have never really known who all this is for.

“What’s wrong?” Beth’s voice pulls back my anger.

“Nothing,” I mumble, glancing at her. “This isn’t any normal weapon. It was Michael’s right hand on earth. It’s supposed to have a line directly to god, and only Michael could use it.”

She puckers her lips, innocently. “It looks like it belongs in a museum to me.”

I hold out the blade and squint down, feeling the perfect balance of it. I lift my wrist and flick to perform several basic figure of eight motions, cutting through the air, then stop. Beth steps back with a terrified expression, and it makes me smile. Shit, that is one of the easiest moves to learn, and she has her mouth wide open like I’ve just performed magic.
