God was enjoying Herself in what She called "Paradise." A perfect name for what She considered to be Her second best creation. Gabrielle was lying in the grass beside Her, in the shadow of a tree. Gabrielle was the only angel to be allowed in the Garden of Eden. That was the name God had given to the area that the humans spent their days.
God wanted to protect the humans against the corruption that She was sure was spreading among the angels. And with the threat of the fig tree that was spreading its shadow over the valley as a constant reminder of what could go wrong, She wanted to reduce the risk that any angel might put some ideas in their heads. She had enough troubles with keeping a watchful eye on Lucifer. She certainly didn't want him to hang around Eve and Adam.
While She was musing about it, She ran Her fingers through Gabrielle's hair. It soothed Her. Gabrielle looked up. "You look pensive. Are you worrying about Lucifer again?" "I have the feeling he is up to something. And I think it has to do with our lovely couple over there. But it is not something I can put my finger on." "Maybe it is because we are hanging around here most of the time. And he is not allowed to come here. You used to be able to watch him almost all of the time, and now you have lost sight of him."
Gabrielle laid her head on God's lap and turned her head towards the humans. Eve and Adam were chasing each other. She loved all the creatures on earth, but these two were special. They were more aware of their existence, and they walked around in such wonderment, discovering new thing every day. Many times they giggled about things, like cats that chased their own tails, or monkeys playing with each other. Sometimes they laughed so hard, rolling over and holding their bellies. It was so infectious that Gabrielle often had to laugh herself.
When she looked at God and saw Her smile about it, she got warm inside. "I can't imagine that anyone would want to destroy this." "That is one thing I love about you, your lack of malice. Lucifer has enough of that, I often wonder if it was a good decision to create him." Gabrielle turned on her back and faced God. "Why did You create him? Or maybe the question should be: Why did You create him like this?"
God pushed one of Gabrielle's locks behind her ear. "Because I was bored. I had created some of the angels before him. They were nice, but they almost put me to sleep with their "too good to be true" behaviour. So I decided to spice up the place and I created Lucifer. Soon I found out I had overdone it. I had given him too many bad qualities. It is getting out of control. I don't know how much longer I will be able to hold him back. You have to understand that it was all new to me, creating things, especially living beings. Lots of times I have no idea what consequences it will have. The more awareness I have given them, the more they will go their own way. They have a will of their own. I am still learning about how and what to create."
"Why have You given us a will of our own then? If You hadn't, You could easily control us." "That is not what I want. In that case you would be my puppets. If I could tell you where to go, what to do at any time, everything that would happen would be my fantasy, how boring would that become, do you think? Now I don't know what to expect. The universe is full of surprises. And the living creatures surprise me the most. So I will never take away awareness and free will. It simply wouldn't be the same."
"If you think that the good angels were too boring, then why did you create me?"
God looked down at Gabrielle. She had turned her head towards the creatures. Somehow it looked like she wasn't really seeing them. God stroked Her thumb over Gabrielle's cheek. "When I created you I wanted a companion. Someone with whom I could talk and someone who would pay attention to what I was saying and doing. So I let some of my fondest wishes go into your creation."
Gabrielle turned her head to face God. It looked like a storm was building behind her green eyes. "So I am what you want me to be - someone that is here to fulfil your needs."
God took Gabrielle's hand in Hers. "No, you are more than that! The moment you opened your eyes and started to experience the world around you, you started to go beyond My creation. I may have put possibilities in you, but I have no control over their development. Some characteristics will blossom; others will never come to surface. Your life, the paths that you choose, the things that will come in your way, will shape you! I have no control over that. One thing is already developing nicely!"
Gabrielle gave Her a curious look. "You have a warm and caring heart, and I love the sparkle in your eyes." The angel turned red and faced the humans again. "Thank You!" God smiled. Sometimes this lovely creature could become so shy. Then she looked so cute.
"What am I made of?" "Excuse me?" Gabrielle faced God again. "The creatures here on Earth you made from clay. The original Eve you made out of a ray of light. What was it you made me of?" "A part of Me." Gabrielle's eyes widened. "Everything that is created is actually a part of Me. You and the other angels are directly taken from Me. So are some parts of the universe. Others were created by materials that split up. But all these materials came originally from Me. I am the Universe."
"Am I seeing You now, or am I seeing something You want me to see?" "This is Me. I can take a lot of forms, but this form is the one I like the most. You could say I am bundled energy, and I am fluid in nature." "Everything is You! Then why do we exist?" "You are created from Me, but now you are an independent Being. I gave up a part of Me for that, for all of this. But I will never undo it, because I was alone for so long. Never will I return to that lonely existence."
"Does it mean that every time You create something, You become less?" God started to laugh and kissed the angel on her head. "Gabrielle, what I am is so much more than what you see. I have not even given a percentage of what I am. I am a thousand times more than all I have used for my creations."
Lucifer was furious. God had stolen his creation. She had even forbidden him to come near it. What fuelled his anger even more was the fact that the annoying blonde was allowed to go there. "Little miss perfect." He had tried to corrupt her. He acted nice to her while he tried to convince her that God was a manipulative control freak. Making all kind of rules for them and restricting them in their movements. She didn't want anything to do with it. She told him God had Her reasons. And she had asked him who the hell he thought he was that he could doubt God.
Then he tried to seduce her. He started to stand closer to her and touch her occasionally. It always turned him on. He loved to seduce the innocents. They gave themselves with such abundance. But she was a cold bitch, even flinching back when he came close. Sometimes she even shivered when he touched her. He first thought it was out of lust, but one time she couldn't control herself and he saw the disgust on her face. She should be flattered that he showed interest in her! True, she didn't look bad, but she had such a weak personality. She never confronted others when they acted in a way that she didn't agree with. Never raised her voice in a dispute. He couldn't stand the sight of her.
Eve was lying in the grass. She and Adam had been chasing one another for a while. Every time Adam grabbed her, she got a strange and warm feeling in her belly. As if something was moving inside. And now she felt a sticky wetness between her legs. She touched herself there. She moaned. It was very sensitive to her touch, and very pleasant. Again she put a finger between her legs and softly stroked the sensitive area. When she touched a small protrusion she stopped in shock. It was an intense feeling but it felt good. So carefully she rubbed beside it. Moaning she threw her head backwards and fell on her back while she kept rubbing herself.
Gabrielle heard her moan and looked up. Wide eyed she turned to God. "What is she doing?" "Self-gratification." "Self what?" "Self-gratification! The area between the legs is very sensitive to the touch. When it is touched, it gives pleasant feelings that can lead to an orgasm." "What is an orgasm?" Gabrielle turned red, she felt ashamed of her ignorance. "You have never had one? Well, your whole body has areas that are sensitive to the touch, but the area between your legs is the most sensitive. If you get stimulated, the tension in your body increases. Your heart starts pumping faster and everything becomes even more sensitive to the touch. Finally your body stiffens and all your muscles start to contract. That is the actual orgasm. When it has stopped most feel relaxed and satisfied."
"Can I have one?" "Of course, if you get stimulated enough!" "Can You have one?" "Like I told you before: I have created you in My own image, so yes, I can have one too." While they were talking Adam approached Eve. When he came closer the protrusion on his body started to stiffen and rise.
"What is happening to him?" "When Lucifer put that extension in that area, it too became sensitive to stimulation. Now he gets stimulated by watching her which leads to more blood getting pumped into his penis. That in turn leads to stiffening and rising of it. Not only the touch is responsive to stimulation, all your senses are. This can lead to the need for satisfaction."
Gabrielle had already found out herself that watching and listening could be stimulating. Her heart rate had gone up and the area between her legs felt swollen and wet.
Adam was now so close to Eve that he could smell her. When he discovered that the smell came from between her legs, he pushed her hand aside to replace it with his head. He sniffed her, and then he put his tongue out to taste it. When Adam dragged his tongue over her swollen lips she squealed. Adam jerked his head away, but Eve grabbed it and pulled it back. Adam liked the taste and started to lick her again. Eve rubbed herself against him and started to moan and squeal louder till her whole body seemed to stiffen, and after a few seconds she went limp. Adam kept licking but Eve pushed him away. He crawled up her body and took her in his arms. Eve curled up against him and fell asleep.
Gabrielle's breathing had become shallow. "It looks like Eve had her first orgasm." She heard God say. Fascinated she kept looking at them. "What is Adam doing now?" Adam had shaken Eve to wake her up. "Well, it looks like Adam is trying to convince Eve to use her mouth on him too, but she isn't so fond of the idea." Indeed, Eve had taken his penis in her mouth, but when Adam started to push hard in her mouth, Eve withdrew and refused to continue. Instead she pushed her hand between her legs and started to rub herself again.
"Oh my, it looks like our little girl wants more."
Gabrielle couldn't control herself any longer. She started to rub herself too. Remembering what she had seen she rubbed softly over her clitoris. Waves of pleasure went through her body.
In the meantime Eve tried to persuade Adam to lick her again, but pouting, he refused. He had taken his penis in his hand and rubbed it frantically. Eve looked at him. She circled her finger around her opening. She started to use her other hand to rub herself. Then she pushed a finger inside. Her hips rose from the ground. She pushed her finger in and out. She stopped to look at Adam again. Her face got a pensive look. She started to talk to Adam. Then she spread her legs and Adam knelt between them. Eve kept rubbing with one hand and grabbed Adam's penis with the other. She guided it till it was at her entrance and then Adam pushed himself in. Eve gave a little scream.
Gabrielle stopped rubbing herself. "Is he hurting her?" "A bit. It is a flaw in the design. The vagina has a fleece membrane that gets torn the first time it gets penetrated. It hurts, but just for a couple of seconds. And it probably will bleed a bit. Looking at her, I think she has gotten over it already." Indeed. Eve was still rubbing herself while Adam pushed in and out. Her hips rose to meet his thrusts. Then her body stiffened again. When Adam felt the muscles of Eve's vagina contract around him he couldn't stop it any longer and ejaculated.
Gabrielle felt her muscles tremble, something was building inside. Then she felt herself go rigid and a warm melting sensation spread from between her loins. Her muscles kept contracting for a couple of seconds. She fell back against the body of God. God stroked some wet locks from her forehead.
"And that my dear, was your first orgasm." All Gabrielle knew before she fell asleep was that she felt relaxed and peaceful.
Lucifer was watching from a distance. Against God's orders he had sneaked into The Garden of Eden. He thought he should have the right to go there too. After all, he had created Adam. When he saw that Gabrielle was masturbating while God was holding her, he became mad. That explained why she had taken his place as God's favourite. Sexual attraction is a strong weapon. He knew that too well. He knew he was good looking. That he used to his advantage. He seduced angels that were sensitive to it and made them depend on him. Before the light, sex was the only fun thing to do. He only played the game with the black hole to annoy God.
When he had created Adam, Lucifer was so fascinated by the penis he had given him, that he had grown one himself. It was a good thing that God had given angels the ability to change their forms. They were so superior to humans.
Lucifer soon found out he liked what he could do with it. He liked the fact that it gave him the feeling he was in charge, and of course, the fact that he could be on top. There were other angels that grew one too. Some changed back, but others liked it and decided to keep it.
Lucifer sneaked out again. God couldn't be there all the time. He just had to wait for his chance to approach the humans. Now he would look to one of the more obedient angels to get some relief himself.
Two months later, Eve was having mood swings. One moment she was laughing her ass off, the next she was in tears. Adam had a hard time dealing with her. Sometimes she was cheerful and affectionate, and a second later she was crying or mad at him. Saying things like: "You think my ass is fat, you say you don't think it is, but why do you refuse to even look at it?" And if he told her he didn't want to look at it because he knew that he would get turned on and want sex she started crying. "Now you don't even want to have sex with me." Then he explained that he was trying to be considerate because she had told him a couple of times that sex was the only thing that he seemed to have on his mind. She even cried harder. "Now you are telling me it is all my fault. That I keep nagging at you. Well if you didn't want to have sex all the time I would have no reason to nag." Adam sighed. Everything he did or say could lead to this emotional behaviour. One day she even burst into tears when he had picked her some flowers. "You know I like lilies, then why do you pick me roses?"
And now she came with the strangest wishes for food - mostly in the middle of the night. Sour fruit and peanuts. One time she called for chocolate beans and lime. And the next morning she threw it all up. No wonder - she ate such strange things! And before she complained that he sometimes wanted to have sex when she didn't want it, and she had the feeling he tried to persuade her when that happened, now it was the other way around. She wanted sex a lot. And when he wasn't in the mood she tried to get him into it. Truth be told, most of the time she just had to rub up against his penis to bring it to life, but it was the principle behind it. At least that was his opinion after the sex. Adam sighed again. How could his happy carefree life have become so complicated?
Gabrielle had watched all these exchanges from afar. "What is wrong with Eve? She is behaving very oddly lately." "Eve is growing two new lives in her." Gabrielle gave God a puzzled look. "How is that possible?"
"When I joined them, and then split them up, a process took place. The Eve and Adam you see now are not the same as before the joining. When they split after the joining, both left parts of themselves in the other. Now their bodies are trying to restore it. When they have sex and he ejaculates inside her, there is the chance that a sperm of his reaches one of her eggs. The egg and the sperm both carry half of the chromosomes that a human contains. So if they come together a new life form can materialize. But if it is fertilized, the cells immediately start to split. It is their creation, but then in mini size. Now two of her eggs are fertilized and she is carrying two forms in her that will grow to be humans."
"Mini Eve and Adam?" "Not exactly. Birth is not duplication but creation. Every new life form will have genes from both parents. It will be unique. Even the two that are growing in her belly won't be the same. They will share a lot of genes, but there will be differences." "It sounds nice." "Yes it does." God said with a smile.
Lucifer was hanging in a tree. He had found a form in which he could sneak in to the Garden of Eden unnoticed. As a snake he could glide through the grass. Of course, he still had to be careful that he did not do it if God was looking his way. He feared She would be able to tell he wasn't a real snake. Now he had managed to find a spot between the leaves of a tree in the proximity of God and the chattering airhead. He had heard enough.
Interesting news. The woman was carrying two new life forms. They would be his creation too. He made Adam, and out of Adam these creatures were created.
He would find a way to claim his right on them. The man had gone to find some food again for the demanding shrew. Maybe he should find him. God was too occupied with the blonde bimbo, She had lost sight of Adam. Now was his time. He slid through the grass after Adam's trail.
Adam was plucking some unripe mangos. Eve liked the taste of it. Suddenly a snake appeared beside him. The snake rose almost two meters from the grass.
"Adam, I think I can help you with your problems." "What problems do you mean?" "The problems you have with Eve and her condition." "What condition are you talking about?" "You mean that God hasn't told you anything? Don't you know that Eve is carrying new life? And the life she is carrying is yours too."
"A new life? What kind of new life? A new species?" The snake started to laugh.
"Oh my, God really wants you to stay ignorant. No, not a new species - Human life. When the sun has come up and gone down about 180 to 200 times your wife is going to give birth to two little human beings that are now growing in her belly." "How is that possible?" "When I created you, I also gave you the ability to reproduce. When you have sex with your woman, you give her your seed. It is your seed that creates the new life in her womb." "So the new life will be mine?"
"Well, it is hers too, but without your seed her womb is like a desert. Nothing will grow there."
"Has her condition got anything to do with my problems?" "I think so! The new life in her body is craving a substance that is rare. Because the mother is connected with the young lives in her womb emotionally, she gets cranky." "What kind of substance? Can I find it here in The Garden Of Eden?" The snake turned his head to the fig tree. "It is hanging on that tree. The fruit from that tree contains the substance." "But that is the tree God has forbidden us to eat the fruit of." "It is also the fruit that will give your offspring the knowledge it needs. Without it they will be like monkeys."
Gabrielle was lying backwards with her body resting against God's. "I think it's time I go and see what Lucifer is up to. I have the eerie feeling that he is doing something terrible. Maybe I should keep a closer eye on him." They stood up and both left the valley.
Adam was on his way back. All the time he kept thinking about what the snake had said. He came back into the valley, his arms full of fruit. Eve was lying on the grass and God and Gabrielle were not around. Adam looked at the fig tree.
It looked like a normal tree to him. Why would the snake lie to him? God had done nothing to help Eve. She didn't tell them Eve was carrying new life.
Maybe it was time he took control of things himself.
Eve was lying in the shadow of a tree when Adam came back. He was carrying a lot of fruit. She wanted to get up to help him. "Don't get up. Why don't you take a nap while I prepare the fruit?" Eve was glad that he made the offer. She knew he hadn't slept much either last night, but somehow he was more capable to bear it.
When she woke up, Gabrielle and God were sitting near the fig tree again. Eve waved at them. They waved back. This morning when Adam went away, God and Gabrielle came to her. God told her she had to tell Adam to get her some lemon balm. It would help against the morning sickness. Tomorrow she would tell him before he left. Now she wanted food, and after that she hoped they could have sex. She was horny.
Adam came from behind a bush. He carried a big leaf with all kinds of fruit morsels on it. Some she didn't know yet. He knelt beside her and took a morsel off the leaf. This one she knew. It was a piece of orange. She liked the fruit. It tasted very fresh, and if you bit into it you felt the juice running into your mouth.
Adam put the piece in her mouth, and when he started to withdraw she licked with her tongue around his finger. Why not make dinner a bit more interesting?
Adam swallowed. Eve was amused. He was so easy to arouse. And this time she would use it to get what she wanted - A nice session of love making. She took another morsel and brought the fruit to his mouth. Before she withdrew her hand she ran her finger over his lip. When he swallowed she let her lips follow her finger. She saw his penis stiffen. She took a morsel of a fruit she didn't recognise.
"What is this?" "I don't know. I found it somewhere and tried it. It tastes good."
Eve put the morsel in her mouth and brought her lips to Adam's. He opened his mouth to take the fruit in. He was surprised by the taste. It was a little sweet. He chewed and swallowed the fruit. He expected something terrible to happen, but when nothing happened he looked at Eve. She had taken a piece of peach and had laid it on her breast. She tried to bring it to his mouth but he stopped her with a hand against her chest. Eve looked astonished.
"Aren't you hungry anymore?" "Yes I am, but I don't think we should do it like that. At least not with God and Gabrielle watching us." Eve looked at the two he had mentioned. "They aren't even looking. And even if they were, why should you care? They love to watch us." "Maybe they like it too much." Adam mumbled. Eve gave him an odd look. "Well if you don't want it, I am not going to let it go to waste."
She took the fruit and put it in her mouth. Then she took a piece of the pinkish looking fruit that Adam had brought with him. She found the taste very pleasant. She hoped Adam would be in the mood later, because the feeding of each other had increased her lust. She turned her head and looked at God and Gabrielle. They were now looking back. All of a sudden Eve felt very exposed.
"Adam, maybe it would be better if we can find a place where they won't watch us all the time." Adam was relieved. He took Eve by the hand and led her behind the bushes where he had taken the leaf from to carry the pieces of fruit. There they made love. Both relieved to do it out of the sight of their guardians.
Gabrielle was lying with her head on God's lap when Eve and Adam came back. They had covered their bodies with leaves bound together with small twigs. Gabrielle felt God stiffen against her. "Nooooo! This is bad."
Before she knew what was happening, the sky turned dark and God stood there with Her hair spread like a halo around Her head. Her arms were extended and rays of lightning were leaving Her fingertips. The earth was shaking and explosions could be heard all around. Rocks got torn and pieces flew around everywhere.
Gabrielle pushed her hands against her ears and screamed. "Stop it! Please stop it!" When God didn't respond Gabrielle grabbed Her arm. A shock went through her and then she flew through the air. And her body hit the ground a hundred metres away. Then everything went dark. All of a sudden everything went silent. Then a scream could be heard.
"Gabrielle!" In a second God was beside the angel's body. She stroked Gabrielle's forehead. "I am sorry Sweetheart; this was never meant to happen."
Gabrielle opened her eyes. "It is a good thing then that You made us angels immortal. But my whole body feels like it is burning. Please make it stop!"
God put Her hand on Gabrielle's head. The angel felt the pain leave her body.
"This feels even better than an orgasm." God laughed while tears were streaming down Her face. She took Gabrielle in Her arms. "I never wanted you to get hurt. I am so sorry Sweetheart." Gabrielle was still crying. "Why are You doing this?" She swept her arm around to point out the scorched ground.
"They ate from the figs. I am going to destroy this place. It is polluted now."
"No!" "No? Gabrielle, do you know what you are saying? If I let this place exist a lot of horrible things will happen. There will be a lot of suffering. I better destroy it now before the real damage is done." "Please don't do it!" God looked at Her beloved angel.
"Gabrielle, do you realise this place will never be the same again? Evil has now become a part of the humans again. They will be capable of doing terrible things." "Then restore it." "I can't. If I do that all we can do is wait for the next time for it to happen. The only way that I can do it is if I take away their free will." "Then take it away!" Tears were running down the angel's cheek. God wiped them away.
"Is that what you really want, them having no will of their own?" Gabrielle shook her head. "You have to choose, Gabrielle. Am I going to restore this place and take away their free will, or shall I let things be the way they are now and let them keep their free will? But if they keep their free will, they also have to bear the consequences of their choice." Gabrielle bowed her head. "Let them keep it!" God nodded. Her face was grim. "Then they have to face the music now."
"God!" She looked at the angel. "Don't be too harsh on them. This is also a part of Your making. You have created Lucifer and his evil spirit. His creation is what has led to this. I don't have to be a genius to know he is behind this. Creating him means You are also to blame for this." God nodded Her head. She had already thought of that.
"Are you coming with me?" Gabrielle stood up and took God's hand. "Of course. In good and in bad times."
Together they went to the humans who stood trembling behind an overhanging cliff, hanging on to each other. Their leaves had fallen off from the trembling from the ground. When Gabrielle and God came near, Adam threw himself on the ground.
"Adam, why did you cover yourself?" God asked him. "Because I was naked."
"You were naked before, but you never covered yourself up then." "I was never aware before that I was naked." "Did you become aware of your nakedness after you ate from the forbidden fruit?"
"Oh Adam, what have you done?" Eve cried out loud. Then Adam told the whole story about him and the snake to God. She was furious. She raised Her arms in the air. Dark clouds were swirling and thunder rolled over the hills. Out of the sky, Lucifer appeared. Trapped in strings of fire, he squirmed, he twisted and turned. But he didn't manage to break free.
"You have broken every rule I had set. And there were only three. I have given you so much freedom. All you did to repay Me for what I have given you was to betray Me. You wanted this place. You will have it." A giant pit appeared in the ground. "I will put you in this place. Never will you be able to leave it. I can't control your evil, nor the influence you have on others, but I can control your body."
Lucifer's body started to change. The golden angel he was transformed into a fiery red monster. "If you are on this Earth, you will look like this. Your body will burn if you walk this Earth. The only place where you can be your precious, beautiful self will be down there." Then she threw Lucifer into the pit. The earth closed behind him. She then turned to the humans.
"You will inherit this Earth the way it is now." The humans looked around at their destroyed surroundings. "There still are places on this Earth where it will be good to live, but you have to work hard for it. You will work the earth to get the food you want. From everything you gather, you will offer every fourth part. All kind of dangers you will face. Wild animals will be your neighbours, so even your rest won't be peaceful. Never again will you find paradise on this Earth."
God turned to Eve. "Because you are the innocent victim in this I will show you and Adam mercy. Some angels will guide you to another place where you can live. They will help you to develop some skills with which you will be able to sustain yourself. You will be the caretaker. When men like Adam think they have to do terrible things to get better, your kids and the weak will depend on you to let life continue. Therefore your body will be able to feed your young. You will also be able to multitask, because many skills you will need." Then God sent them away.
"Will they be alright?" God turned to Gabrielle. "Yes they will, their species will be very successful. There will be times that you will curse Me for that." "Never! What will happen to them will also be because of the choice I made."
God put Her arms around Gabrielle and pulled her in. She didn't know who needed the solace more. She or Gabrielle?
