I was a witch and I married the Devil. Now I’m trying to get a divorce so I can marry an angel. It’s my life and I do what I want.

He got up and addressed the court. “How could she?” he said to my lawyer. “How could she do this to me? I gave her the world. We agreed to marry when we did. She was happy. I’m not sure why she would lie.”<br><br>“She’s not lying.” I said. “I’m tired of it. Tired of you. I’m leaving and there’s nothing you can do about it.”<br><br>“What you want is of no consequence, witch. You will do as you’re told and I will not be embarrassed in front of my loyal subjects.”<br><br>I felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew I had nothing to worry about. I turned and my heart fluttered. “I think there’s been a mistake.” Said Michael.<br><br>“Oh? And what mistake would that be?” Asked Satan.<br><br>“I think the witch here believes she has a choice. She most certainly does not. As the king of hell I have every right to demand she stay my wife. I will also demand that you leave now. This is none of your concern.”<br><br>“It is my concern.” He said. “I am the one she wishes to marry. While it’s true that you are the king of hell and have every right to demand what you want from your citizens, she is no longer your wife. The divorce has been finalized. She is mine now.”<br><br>I smiled as Lucifer snarled. “This isn’t over. I will get you, witch. And you will pay.” He said before he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.<br><br>I turned to my new husband. “I’m sorry. I know that this wasn’t really what you wanted. To get drug into all this drama-”<br><br>Michael cut me off and stroked my cheek. “I’m exactly where I want to be. With you. Now let’s get out of here. We have an airplane to catch.”<br><br>We left the courtroom and I couldn’t help but feel a little giddy. I was married to an angel. And I was going to meet God.<br><br>We left and took a taxi to the airport where we rented a car and drove to a private hangar. There was an airplane there waiting for us. We got on and took off into the sky. I gripped the armrests hard, I hated flying. But we were in the air for what felt like seconds before we began to descend. I looked out the window and gasped. There were fluffy white clouds as far as the eye could see. And when the plane landed I couldn’t see anything but beauty. There was a beach with crystal clear water and beautiful sand. There were beautiful gardens and buildings that looked like they were made of clouds.<br><br>I gasped. I couldn’t believe it. “It’s beautiful.” I said.<br><br>“Yes.” Agreed Michael. “It is.”<br><br>“Welcome.” Said a voice behind me.<br><br>I turned to see a man with long white hair. “Who are you?” I asked.<br><br>“I am God.” He said. “And I must say, you’re not what I expected.”<br><br>“What were you expecting?” I asked.<br><br>“A demon.” He said. “But you’re not a demon at all.”<br><br>“No, I’m a witch. And I’m married to Michael now. And I’m happy.”<br><br>God smiled and put a hand on my shoulder. “I’m glad.” He said. “It’s been a long time since Michael has been this happy. I was beginning to worry about him.”<br><br>I smiled back. “Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. And we’re happy together.”<br><br>“I’m glad.” He said again. “But now, I have to go. There is work to be done and not very much time to do it in. I hope you two are up to the task.”<br><br>“Of course we are.” Said Michael. “That’s why we’re here.”<br><br>I looked at him. “What task? Why are we really here?”<br><br>“To stop a war.” Said Michael. “A war between heaven and hell. And we have very little time to stop it.”<br><br>“Why is heaven at war with hell?” I asked.<br><br>“It isn’t. And I didn’t say that it was. Heaven is not at war with hell. But there are some in heaven that believe that we should be. They believe that hell is a threat. That Satan is too powerful. That he wants to overthrow us.”<br><br>“That’s ridiculous.” I said. “I know Satan. That’s not something he wants. And even if it was, he’s not powerful enough to do it.”<br><br>“I know. And most in heaven know that as well. But there are some who do not trust him. Who do not trust anyone from hell or anyone who is not like us. And they will stop at nothing to get rid of you.”<br><br>“Get rid of me? Why? I’m not a threat to them or to heaven.”<br><br>“They don’t care. They want heaven to be pristine. Untouched by evil. And anyone who has ever been to hell or who has ever associated with anyone who is from hell is a threat to them. But we won’t let them get to you. I promise you that.”<br><br>“Thank you.” I said. “But I’m not afraid. I can take care of myself. And if they want Satan they’re crazy. He’s not going to go quietly into the night. And he’s not going to attack heaven. That’s insane.”<br><br>“I know. But-”<br><br>I cut him off. “What’s going to happen now? What’s going to happen to me now that I’m married to an angel?”<br><br>“I think,” Said God. “You should hear the rest from her.”<br><br>“Who’s her?” I asked.<br><br>“Her is the person who’s life you saved.” Said Michael. “Her name is Sarah. She’s the daughter of one of the most powerful angels in heaven. And she’s the reason that we are at war. Or we would be at war if you hadn’t saved her.”<br><br>I racked my brain. I didn’t remember saving an angel. “Who is she? Why can’t I remember saving her?”<br><br>“Because you didn’t. Not really. You saved her thousands of years ago. Before you were born. And I think it’s time you knew the truth.”<br><br>“The truth? What are you talking about?”<br><br>“The truth about you.” He said. “About where you come from. About why you are so important.”<br><br>“Why am I important?” I asked.<br><br>“Because you’re not really a witch. You never have been.” He said.<br><br>“What are you talking about? Of course I’m a witch.”<br><br>“You’re not. You never have been.” He said again. “And it’s time you knew the truth.”<br><br>I shook my head. This was too much to take in. I needed to sit down. Right now. I was going to pass out if I didn’t sit down. “I need a minute.” I said. “I need a few minutes to sit down. Please.”<br><br>“Of course.” Said God. “You can have all the time you need. But not too much. There really isn’t very much time.”<br><br>I nodded and left the room. I found a garden and sat down on a bench. I put my head in my hands. This was too much. I just wanted to go home. To forget that this ever happened. To go back to my normal life.<br><br>But I knew that wasn’t possible. My life would never be normal again. Not now that I knew the truth. Not now that I was in heaven.<br><br>But what was heaven? What was hell? I thought I knew but now I wasn’t so sure. Was heaven the city in the clouds? Or was it something more? Was it every good thing on earth? Every good person? Was hell the same?<br><br>I didn’t know. But I knew one thing. I didn’t like this new heaven. I liked the old heaven better. I liked the heaven in my heart. The heaven I had believed in my whole life. I didn’t like this place. And I didn’t trust these people.<br><br>I didn’t even trust my husband.<br><br>I wondered what he really wanted from me. And I wondered what he had meant when he said that it was time I knew the truth.<br><br>What did he mean? What truth did I not know? What did I not know about myself?<br><br>I shook my head. I had too many questions. And not enough answers. I was tired. I just wanted to go to sleep. To forget about this place and the people in it.<br><br>But I knew that I couldn’t do that. I knew that I had to see this through. I had to know what Michael meant. And I had to know why I was here.<br><br>I stood up and went back into the house I had just left. I looked around. God and Michael were gone but there was a woman standing by the door. “Who are you?” I asked her.<br><br>“My name is Sarah.” She said. “And I’m so glad you’re here. I really need to talk to you.”<br><br>“Why?” I asked.<br><br>“Because you saved my life.” She said. “And I know it may seem weird because you don’t remember me. You don’t remember saving me. But you did. And I really appreciate it. And because of it my father has asked me to tell you something very important.”<br><br>“What is it?” I asked.<br><br>“It’s something about you.” She said. “Something you need to know. And you need to know now. Because soon it will be too late.”<br><br>I frowned. “What are you talking about?”<br><br>“I’m talking about the war. And I’m talking about your life.” She said. “And I’m talking about the fact that you’re in grave danger. You are in so much danger
