“Victor, all that is said is true. Every bit of it. Times are changing and it would be a shame to leave you out or just destroy you, really, when we win. You know-I don’t want to leave you out, but I will. I will,” said Lucifer.
As Adonari turned his eyes from Lucifer, a Legion of Angels, Seraphims and Cherubims flew overhead. Ten Thousand they numbered.
Zorona, a Seraphim and leader of that Legion, left them in mid air and swooped down beside Lucifer. Adonari kept silent.
“What have we here,” Zorona said. “Son of the Morning Star, Adonari.”
Zorona nodded to them. Adonari stared at Zorona. Zorona is one of the guards that oversee the central region of The Almighty’s throne room in the center of heaven.
“Zorona, you’re a tad bit off your course,” Adonari said. “Shouldn’t you be guarding the throne room or something?”
“I am Vander now,” said Zorona. “Zorona is no more and if you knew what I knew, you too would abandon The Not So Mighty and His Throne Room.”
Lucifer smiled.
“You too Zorona?” Adonari said. “You too?”
“I –”
“No worries,” Lucifer said cutting off Zorona.
“You see that Legion that’s hovering up there? Up there. Yes. They are with me. Most of heaven is with me. We have more power together and can overthrow The Almighty as long as we stick together. Think about it. If he has really been all knowing why haven’t he stopped us and we have been planning this right in his face? If he had so much power why isn’t he stopping us? Why is he so silent? He is silent because the truth is our collective power is greater than his. He made a mistake when he gave his angels free will. Don’t you see he cannot stop it,” said Lucifer.
Adonari thought for a moment.
“Look, I have to go,” said Adonari and he took to flight high above the tree limb where he was sitting.
Gladaro motioned to take off after him. Lucifer braced his wing against Gladaro.
“No. Don’t bother. He’ll see for himself,” said Lucifer as Adonari darted through the Legion that hovered above. A few Seraphims moved out of the way to let him pass.
Above heaven’s holy city the noise of confusion and rebellion faded the farther from the throne room he flew.
Could we really be on the verge of rebellion? Adonari thought…

“I’m going to be sick,” said Victor.
“It’s his first time feeding from a Rasta,” said Herod to Lombhardi. Lombhardi chuckled.
“I thought you knew,” said Lombhardi to Victor who was still sprawled on the couch.
“The THC goes straight to their bloodstream. Pure unadulterated ganja high,” Lombhardi said. Victor held his head and continued to moan. Angela rushed over to Victor.
“ I'm sorry baby,” she said as she stooped down beside him. She put the back of her hand to his forehead.
“You’re such a baby, darling,” said Angela. “You’ll be okay. It will wear off in a couple of days.”
Angela summoned a waitress over. A young looking brunette vampire beckoned to her call.
“Please get me a gallon bottle of warm water and the peroxide out of the medicine cabinet. The young brunette nodded and rushed off.
“I guess I'm going to have to take off early tonight to take care of you,” said Angela.
“I guess,” moaned Victor.
Lombardi walked to another table to serve a young vampire couple that had just walked in. The young brunette waitress returned with the water and peroxide. Angela carefully measured two bottle caps of peroxide and poured it into the water.
“Sit up and drink this. It will help with your nausea,” said Angela as she helped him to sit up.
She poured a glass of the mixture and gave it to him.
A whirling alarm, which sounded distant at first, shrieked outside the restaurant.
Within minutes Victor was surrounded by members of Vampirol, the vampire police force that patrolled the vampire world.
Angela stood up in front of Victor.
“Victor Saul?” said a bearded Vampirol officer decked in a red uniform with blue stripes draped along his jacket and pants.
“I am Victor Saul. What is this about,” said Victor in a weak voice.
He put down the glass of peroxide mixture on the table.
“Sir. I am Inspector Vladimir Anon,” with Vampirol. “You are hereby placed under arrest.”
“For what,” said Victor suddenly not feeling so sick.
“I was getting to that if you will allow me,” said Inspector Anon. “Seize him,” said Inspector Annan.
Eight officers surrounded him. One of them tazered him so that he couldn’t fly.
He immediately screamed in pain as the taser surged through his body.
He fell with a soft blow onto the couch.
“What is this for? Can’t you see he is sick?” said Angela as she tried to push the officers away from him.
“Ma’am. Get out of the way or we’ll arrest you for assaulting a member of the force and obstructing officers carrying out their duties,” said Inspector Anon.
Victor tossed in pain.
“Pick him up,” said the inspector. They pushed Angela out of the way.
“Mr. Saul. You are under arrest for threatening treason against the kingdom of darkness,” said the inspector.
“Cuff him,” he said. The officers cuffed him and dragged his weak body out of Villagio's with Angela screaming.
The patrons resumed their bloody meals.
Inspector Anon and the officers flew into the air with Victor dangling by his shoulders.
Within moments they flew him to an exceeding high mountain cave with a large entrance.
They took him deep within the cave to an area with a cell lockup.
They threw him in and slammed the specially made bars shut. No vampire known to their world could break it.
Normally a vampires spit had special enzymes that melted metal but this cell was impervious to its effects. Victor slid flat on the floor.

All Holy Angels and Vampires flew into the air for a battle royale. Within moments One Hundred vampires attacked Adonari and he felt the strangest feeling he had never felt as a Holy Angel on Earth.
His Angelic frame froze as his wings because numb. He fell to the ground with a thud. He was paralyzed but fully conscious. The Hundred vampires descended over him, bound his eyes and hoisted him in the air in a large net.
They flew with him to a nearby cave that led from the Grand Canyons to below the surface of the earth. Adonari felt the breeze whipping his force as they descended further and further into the coolness of the earth.
After a while he came to a stop. His body loosened enough so that they propped him on his knees.
He felt a sulfur breath on his face.
“Victor. That wasn’t very nice Victor. Did you not learn anything as a vampire?” said the voice.
Adonari knew it was Lucifer.
“I like your new wings Victor. I really do.” Lucifer’s breath moved to the front of his face.
“Enjoying your new promotion Victor?” Adonari remained silent.
“Oh come come now Victor,” said Lucifer.
“I am not Victor anymore. I am-”
“I know who you are. After all we’ve had some good times, have we not?”
Adonari reminisced. Images of Heaven, Day of The Fall, Villagio’s, blood, blood and more blood flashed like a kaleidoscope through his mind.
“Don’t you miss the blood Victor?” said Lucifer as if reading Victor’s thoughts.
“Don’t you miss the way it melts in your mouth like liquid red chocolate? It is so sweet to the taste. Oh, Victor, I know-”
“I don’t. I don’t need that anymore.”
“But I’m sure a little taste won’t hurt.” Adonari heard a young girl scream. He felt a flash of wetness on his face. He heard the girl scream again. No doubt she was the source of the blood that defiled his face.
Adonari could not move his hands to wipe his face.
Another splash hit his face and oozed down his golden cheeks.
“Oh come on. We don’t have all night,” said Lucifer as he rubbed the blood all over Adonari face.
But Adonari’s power was too strong and Lucifer pulled his hands away from the burn.
“Ahhh,” said Lucifer with a deep guttural growl. “Curse you. You betrayed us.”
“I belong to The Almighty and actually so do you,” said Adonari.
Lucifer motioned as if to lunge for Adonari but he remembered the burn.
“Get him out of my sight,” said Lucifer. “Vander, Vyper, Valencia, carry him back to the surface and make haste.” Vander and the others grabbed the net that Adonari had been in and wrapped it around him. He felt the swift cool breeze hit his face as they ascended to the surface.
Adonari spoke first in flight.
“Vander?”
“What do you want Victor?”
“You know I am Adonari now. Call me by my name,” said Adonari.
“Look, you finally got back to the other side. I hope you’re happy now,” said Vander.
“I know you are not happy. You only pretend,” said Adonari.
“Well let me keep pretending,” said Vander as they reached the surface.
They set him in the middle of the Grand Canyon with his blindfold intact. They left him alone.
