The Beautiful and the Damned

'Third person's POV':

THE atmosphere was engulfed with intense awkwardness.

"Your mother?" Bethel gulped "and your daughter?!" Astonished she asked just for a firm confirmation.

"Yes Amica mea" a playful glint could be spotted in Seker's eyes. Bethel squinted her eyes at this. Yes at the moment she did feel incredibly stupid, but it didn't mean that he should replace her predicament funny. She frowned. Her eyes suddenly widen in realization as something clicked in within her.

"Wait a minute that woman you were with is your Mother, like the woman that gave birth to the three of you" Cyrus almost wanted to burst out into a fit of laughter. For some reason the question she just asked cracked him up. "Yes little one as far as we know that is our biological mother" Randuff answered with a chuckle. Bethel's mouth widened a little in surprise. Getting over the shock she glared at Randuff as If telling him the stunt he pulled few minutes ago wasn't forgiven, as he was the one that railed up her jealousy, he was crafty she'd give him that.

"She's pretty young" she mumbled "And more importantly God is married?!, woah I can't believe I just met the goddess of all creation's" she released a breath. "The Bible never mentioned any of these" she muttered. Seker gave her a strange look.

"What are you talking about Amica mea, our Father isn't married, he never was and he never will be" now confused she asked.

"Then what about your mother?"

Cyrus was the one to answer this time.

"Yes she is our mother, but our Father isn't married to her or anything of that sort princess"

"Okay I'm very confused right now, care to elaborate further?"

"Okay do you remember the story of Mary in the Bible?" Cyrus asked.

"Virgin Mary?" she asked a question of her own.

"Yes exactly, but you humans do know she was no longer a virgin after she gave birth to our older brother, I mean she had other kids along the line, so referring to her as a virgin till date isn't really accurate" Bethel didn't really dwell on the fact that he just admitted that Jesus Christ was their actual older brother. Woah.

"What Cyrus is trying to say is that" Randuff continued from where is brother stopped "Our mother was just like Mary, the same way God blessed Mary with a child he did the same to our Mom, but in her case it was four children that God put in her, thus we are the living proof of that" one specific thing well more like specific question that was lingering in Bethel's mind was 'where was their fourth brother'?

"Oh so you guys are like miracle babies or something?" She wondered out loud.

"Something like that" Cyrus chuckled.

Bethel looked at the silent Angel that was standing directly in front of her. With that one question still pondering in her head she asked.

"Are you by any chance married?" she tried to hid the hurt she felt when she asked the question. But Seker read through her easily. Shocked by the question his soulmate had asked him he coughed uncontrollably wondering were that question had come from. Cyrus, Randuff and even his beloved daughter Arazela chuckled at his predicament. Such a wonderful family he had, he thought to himself with sarcasm laced in.

As his coughing fit finally seized he spoke.

"What do you mean Amica mea, where did that question even come from?"

"I mean you have a daughter right, she definitely didn't pop out from nowhere, she had to come from somewhere" that familiar feeling rose to the occasion again, this time Bethel accepted and acknowledge it. She was jealous. "I'm not married Amica Mae, the thought of marriage hasn't once even crossed my mind" Bethel felt relieved yet at the same time she wasn't.

"Oh my God no, don't tell me.." Seker confusedly stared at the horror stricken expression on Bethel's face. 'gods!! what was going on in that mind of hers now' he thought.

"A one night stand??" Centuries and centuries have gone and passed and this was the very first time that anyone has ever seen Seker laugh the way he was currently laughing. Tuning out the rest of the world Seker laughed to his hearts content. His family looked at him in utter astonishment, where they really seeing clearly, or was it a trick of the eyes.

"Ah what would I do with you Amica mea" Seker smiled genuinely at the little human. Bethel's cheeks flushed 'it was just a question' she pouted.

"No my little soulmate it is nothing of that sort, I for one replace that act unproductive and very much absurd" the Angel of death spoke, referring to the idea of one night stands, the thought alone irked him to the absolute core. Bethel's insides did all sorts of things as she heard Seker refer to her as his soulmate. 'God control yourself Bethel it's not like you're still in high school or anything'. Sigh.

"Arazela here isn't my biological daughter, but I see her as she were my blood daughter no less" he turned back and gave a small smile in the direction of his daughter. Arazela gave him a grin of her own, you could see the love they had for each other.

"Not your biological daughter?" More questions just kept piling up in the female humans head, she felt like it was going to burst.

"Yes, but that will have to be a story for another day as we still need to talk" "privately" he added as he saw the others weren't bulging.

"Yeah yeah whatever, we will leave you two lovebirds to it, remember to eat dinner before you both go to bed, there are some left over casserole from last night's dinner, just reheat it" Cyrus smiled waving as he and the other two vacated the

room.

It didn't pass by Seker that as Cyrus mentioned the word lovebirds Bethel blushed profusely. He smirked, his gift really was adorable.

"Ahem" the clearing of Bethel's throat brought his attention back.

"Yes Amica mea?" He inquired.

"You said you wanted to talk, remember?" With a raised eyebrow she reminded him. "Now talk"
