2022-11-11 23:15:54As soon as the police officers standing in front of the mall saw him, they all readied their guns and pointed it at the mysterious robotic man.
“Who are you?! Put your hands where we could see them!” One of the police officers screamed from the crowd.
“Don’t shoot, I am not your enemy!” The robotic man yelled as he turned and faced the policemen. His voice sounded like a robotic voice.
The female reporter started reporting the description of the robotic man to the viewers.
A couple of people standing close to me started pointing at the robotic man on the billboard.
“Isn’t that Burnaman?” One of the men standing in the crowd next to me asked.
“Yeah, the television show last season,” another guy responded. It seems the guy is popular.
I shifted my gaze and focused back on the billboard. To my greatest surprise, I saw demon wings coming right out of the back of the robotic man.
“Wait a minute, are those demon wings?” I turned around and looked at Mordecai with my eyes wide open, I was in total shock.
“Hmm Mhmm, He is a devil king candidate,” he answered with a calm look on his face.
I turned around and continued looking at the billboard, things just got a lot more interesting. The robotic man started making hand gestures at the police officers standing in front of him. It was like he was trying to convince them of something. He flapped his demon wings and flew up into the air in front of the policemen.
“Look! He is flying!” The female reporter screamed.
All the police officers were in shock and disbelief, they couldn’t fathom that a man was flying in front of their eyes.
Before I knew what was happening, the robotic man brought out red arrows and started shooting all the police officers with them. What is he trying to do by shooting them?
“You have to believe me when I say, that I Burnaman shall fight evil!” The robotic man yelled after he was done shooting all the police officers with red arrows.
“Why did he shoot them with red arrows?” I asked hoping that Mordecai would answer my question.
“Well though, listen to him, it all sounds silly, but at least he is using the red arrows for justice,” Mordecai responded.
I was still focused on the billboard to see how everything plays out. We all watched as the Burnaman went into the mall and stopped all the robbers with red arrows and made them surrender themselves to the police officers. The whole thing was intense, it was like we were all watching a movie where the superhero saved countless innocent lives from armed robbers. The Burnaman knew what he was doing with his wings and arrows, he had a lot of speed and accuracy. All the robbers surrendered themselves to the police officers, while all the hostages came out of the mall and ran away from that area.
After a couple of minutes, the Burnaman flew over to the live feed camera and started explaining how he saved all the hostages.
Suddenly Burnaman flew up into the sky and the live feed camera was still on him.
“I have come to defeat 20 enemies. I have already defeated one, I will not run and I will not hide from the remaining 18 devil candidates out there, come and take me on if you dare!” Burnaman yelled.
“What the hell?!” I blurted out as I stepped backward.
“This guy must be crazy, why is he talking about the devil candidate selection on the news?” I questioned as I turned and looked at Mordecai with shock, my lips were trembling as my heart started beating fast. Why would he be talking about the devil stuff in public like this?
“I don’t know and what does he mean, he has defeated one? Is he talking about Mr. Rodriguez?” Mordecai was also stunned as his gaze was fixed on the billboard.
A realization then hit me, Mordecai is busy hovering around me, what if a devil candidate sees him next to me? Oh my gosh, which means I am also going to be killed.
“Mordecai get away from me now!” I yelled as I turned around and looked at him with my eyebrows tightly pressed together.
“Oh, Okay,” Mordecai flew away from where I was standing.
I let out a sigh of relief. I am practical advertising that I am a devil king candidate if my demon hangs around me. I don’t know where these other candidates are or what they are like, but I know this much, I can’t be happy if I am dead. I turned around and continued walking down the street.
******************
Later in the evening at my apartment,
I was laying down on my bed reminiscing about the event I witnessed earlier in the day. Mordecai was floating in the air next to my bed.
I was lost in my thoughts as I gazed at the ceiling.
“Are you going to stay quiet and stare at the ceiling all day?” Mordecai asked in a deep tone.
“No, but I can’t forget about what Burnaman said earlier. 18 enemies, he plans on killing all the other devil candidates to become the devil king,” I turned to the other side of my bed and looked at Mordecai.
“Mordecai, I want you to revoke my status as a devil king candidate,” I said in a low tone.
“What?!” he yelled with his mouth wide open.
“Yes, I don’t want to be a devil candidate anymore, I don’t want to die, I just want to be happy,” I stated. After witnessing what Burnaman is capable of and his determination. I don’t want to continue being a devil candidate anymore. I don’t want to die, now that I have experienced a little happiness, I know now that I could attain happiness.
“I hope you know if you want me to revoke your status, I will have to take away your wings and arrows?”

THE TRUTH
"Yeah, you do need answers," Lucifer said softly.**********The following morning,Trevor arrived in front of Ezekiel’s apartment door. This is it, he gulped as he pushed the doorbell at the side of the door. He had called Ezekiel and told him that he wanted to come over and visit him, which Ezekiel agreed to.Suddenly, Ezekiel opened the front door with a bright smile. "Trevor! It’s you; welcome to my apartment," Ezekiel shook his hand."Come on in," Ezekiel said as he turned around and attempted to walk inside.Seeing that he had turned around, Trevor saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab Ezekiel. He swiftly walked closer to him as he wrapped his arm around Ezekiel’s neck as he held him tightly, and they both fell to the ground with Trevor still holding him tightly."What is wrong with you?! Why are you holding me?" Ezekiel asked under his breath; he couldn’t speak properly."I know who you are, Ezekiel, you are an angel of a special ranking, and you have been the one behind al
EZEKIEL'S SECRET 2
"What happened, babe? Why is your face like that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow."It’s nothing," he responded softly."Did something happen during your walk?" She inquired."Nothing happened; I need some alone time for now, babe," he responded as he stood and walked towards the balcony.With his reaction, Brianna could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to add to his worries, so she stood up and went into the bedroom.Trevor arrived at the balcony; he placed his hand on the iron bar as he gazed in front of him as the cold breeze blew through his hair.So all this while Ezekiel got close to me, he was an angel, and judging from the amount of haloes on his head, he is a special-rank angel. How was he able to hide his wings and halo from me? I mean I saw Jordan’s halos all the time and also saw Uriel’s halo, but why didn’t I see his own or get a clue that he was an angel? Trevor wondered."He probably has a special power that can make him hide his powers from oth
EZEKIEL'S SECRET
“Oh my, after everything that happened to you, you let the restaurant get away with what happened, you would have gotten damage control for what they have done to you,” Ezekiel said in a surprised tone.“I know that, but I don’t want to get any money from them or try to make things difficult for them. What has happened has happened and it is now in the past,” he replied.Wow, it seems Duke is now out of prison and Trevor doesn’t want to pursue any legal actions against him or the restaurant. It’s either he has a kind heart or he is just stupid. But either way, everything worked together for my good, he thought.“I feel you on that. You know something, you are a very kind-hearted person, if another person were to be in your position, they wouldn’t have let this all go that easily,” Ezekiel said.“Yeah, but I am me and I will handle the situation however I want,” he replied.Why is Ezekiel saying all this? What’s his concern if I don’t want to pursue any legal actions on the incident? I
EZEKIEL'S FLAWLESS VICTORY
I can’t tell her the main reason I don’t want to press charges, if I do that, she is going to be worried, if she finds out that the waiter that poured me the water was actually under the influence of a red arrow, she’s not going to be able to rest, he thought.“Babe, I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to complicate the waiter of the restaurant’s life. The waiter might be going through a lot, and my face has already been scarred, suing them will just be unnecessary because it won’t take my face back to normal,” he explained softly.Brianna lowered her gaze as she sighed. “I get where you are coming from,” she muttered.**********Three days later,Trevor just got back home from the hospital after being discharged, he was sitting behind a desk that had a large mirror in front of it. He looked at his face in the mirror, as he touched the bandage on his face. Brianna was standing behind him.“The doctor said you can remove the bandage,” Brianna said in a soft tone.“I know, I’m
POLICE REPORTED THIER INVESTIGATION
**********About three hours later in the hospital ward,Brianna was sitting on a chair at the side of Trevor’s hospital bed. She was holding his left hand while staring at him.“How did all this happen to you, babe?” She asked raising an eyebrow.“I don’t know but the police have arrested the waiter that poured the water on me, and they are currently investigating the accident to know whether it was intentional or not,” he answered.“OK, but I hate seeing you like this, how could something like this happen to you? It’s not fair,” she said in a shaky tone.“Don’t worry babe you don’t have to feel sad; I will be fine with time, everything is going to be fine,” he replied as he rubbed her hand.“You know Trevor, somehow this is your fault, if you hadn’t gone out on that lunch or had been cautious like I told you, this would not have happened to you,” Lucifer said calmly in Trevor’s mind.“Don’t blame me for this, I was cautious, and I never imagined that something like this would happen
RESTAURANT INCIDENT
"Alright then, I trust you. You will have to wait for me to text you; it might not be tomorrow or next week, but once I text you, just know that you will have to be ready," he said calmly."Of course, I will make sure that I am ready," Duke replied.This is good; I believe that Duke will get the job done, Ezekiel thought.***After Duke had left Ezekiel’s apartment, he went into his bedroom and sat down at the edge of his bed as he took out his cellphone and dialed Trevor’s number. Trevor answered the call."Hey, it’s been a while since I heard from you; how have you been?" Ezekiel asked softly."I have been great; things are good, and how about you? Have you properly understood the city yet?" Trevor inquired with a lot of excitement in his voice."Yes, I have; I have taken the time to explore a few places in the city, and I must say Los Angeles is great.""That’s good to hear," Trevor muttered."I would like to know if you would have the chance to grab lunch with me tomorrow."
