14 The Interview

These eyes are mesmerizing and tempting.

Raven stands her ground as a born Demon and as a converted Angel. Gathering every single bit of courage in her bones, she stands straight and stares into the eyes of so many Angels seated in place.

Kancial smiles at this behavior of the little Angel.

Such charming thing ~ he thought.

"Raven, these are my colleagues. They are the particulars and grand boost of the youths on earth. I'll love it if you render proper respect to them"

Raven's eyes scan the young Angels for a second before a warm smile curve up in her lips.

"A Pleasure to meet you all," she says with a slight curtsy, and the brightest amongst them with white hair replies.

"The pleasure is ours"

His smile touches the heart of Raven as she stares at him with a pink face.

God is he so captivating or what?!

"Umm... I called you for them to interrogate you a little... "

And it's like he senses her happiness!

"We don't have much time, so they'll just ask their questions straight away"

Raven says nothing but nods, a little prepared for it.

They all sat upright and their backs relaxing softly.

This is gonna be fun!

"Okay. It's a pleasure to meet you, Raven. I'm Dork and, I am the Angel of Interpretation"

Raven nods and he continues.

"Okay, first off, I will be the one asking you questions that have been set up by all of us here, so... I hope you answer diligently"

"Thank you"

Let's get this going.

"I heard you came from beneath the Earth amongst the Demons, is this true? "

"Yes sire"

"And for how many years have you lived?"

"A hundred and six years, Sire"

"Have any brothers or sisters?"

"No sire"

"Why are your wings white?"

Raven kept quiet. What type of question is that and who's the stupid person that asked him to ask her?

How is she supposed to know how her wings are white, did she create herself?

"Ummm... Most Demons say I got my wings directly from the line of the Angels, being that my father had something to do with the Angels"

"Your Father is Xuvicer, I presume"

"You're correct"

The Angels face immediately turned into different frowns, but they continued anyway.

"And why did you follow Kidan and the rest when they came into your room unexpectedly?"

"I followed them because... There's too much force laid on me"

The Angel Dork narrows his eyes at her.

"Can you get into it a bit deeper?"

Raven takes a deep breath with her eyes closed. Then she opens it and continues.

"My Father is desperate for grandchildren. And the Demons he brought for me to pick from are all on my neck and they have other Demons they take pleasures in"

All of them stare at her with pity in their eyes. That's a shame.

"So you thought coming here will relieve you of the stress?"

"I don't just think. I know"

"So what if we propose that you marry Prince Kancial"

That's not part of the questions but every single Angel seated wants to hear her reply desperately.

"Ummm... I don't think that's a... Uhh"

Gosh is this so hard!

"He will not want to marry a Demon girl, I can just go as a maid instead and-"

"That is not what we asked"

Raven kept quiet immediately he shunned her. That's quite rude!

"Will you marry Prince Kancial if he asked you to"

"Only if I know his background"

Kancial's eyebrows knitted and his bowed head now straightens at the statement of Raven.

"I will if he have a good background"

The heart of Kancial lightens when Raven says that and the rest of the youth Angels turned to see his expression. He's completely perplexed.

"And... You are trying to say that the Demons your father asked you to marry have a very, what background?"

Raven sighs with her eyes closed. Why are Angels so interrogative?

"A Demons background depends on the parents behavior. The background of a Demon can either be good or bad, it depends on if the parents are black or white"

Black or white? Demons can be black or white?

"Can you go further?" Kancial speaks this time. He's really interested eh?

"A black Demon is a Demon of no mercy and a Demon of Presage. They interpret the actions of a Demon. While a white Demon is a kind Demon but they are very rare, and their anger is not that good"

Kancial smiles cheekily at her and the rest of the youthful Angels notice this but said nothing.

"Thank you, young Raven. Please wait outside until we call you in again"

Is this some kind of job employment thingy that they interview an individual if he or she is desperately looking for a job or something? Why are they asking her to wait outside?

Is there a job opportunity that she can't afford to miss?

God, does she ask stupid questions or what?!!

Raven waits outside, though with Impatience. She really feels like talking to Kidan and Kenny again because of their funny attributes.

They make her feel like pleasures are needed with them, but she lets go of the idea when she remembers she's in Heaven. The Creator will send her down like he sent Lucifer if she doesn't get married to a heavenly being and produce there.

And either Kidan and...

Wait... Kancial...

He's a bit authoritative but he has a soft side too. She can feel it.

Look at how he smiled at her the other time, in the interview. It makes goosebumps erupt.

His smile makes her remember Loy. Her childhood pal turned into a strict Guru as they grew up. His strictness had and still has a boundary though...

That reminds her...

What will Xuvicer and Golsie do... Because they might... No... They have found out that she's no more there, so what's their plan to get her back?

They can't come against Heaven, that's all I know.

Because the Heaven's armies will beat those Demon's hands down, forget we know the ways of earth.

Raven's thoughts are placed to a halt the moment the door creaks open once again and the Angels that are seated, except for Kidan, Kenny and Kancial, fly out of the room.

"You may go in now, Raven"
