Judas Was A Woman.

Warnings: Mild gore, mention of blood, probably  sacrilege, Christianity 

She is serving her sentence for betraying Jesus of Nazareth by being a foot soldier for God blah blah blah. She’s miserable in supposed paradise because no one will be friends with her and no one seems to understand and side with her. The Romans beat her half to death before she gave him up, she didn’t deny him three times. That’s some literary horse shit written by a man who assumed she was a guy bc her name sounded masculine to him smh.

Her sentence is up though, and she returns to the court of God to stand before Him, Jesus, and Saint Peter. Two of her former best friends, and a dad.

God asks her if she repents for betraying his only son, and she says yes. Of course she feels guilty, Jesus was her best friend and she believed in his mission. Before the Europeans turned it into the weird holy colonization effort it is today. But God sees all. He sees while she feels guilty, she is not as sorry as God wants her to be.

God sentences her to another millennia of service, and for the first time ever, Jesus protests. Lightly protests, but protests. So does Peter. This is harsh for a God who was supposed to be merciful. But God’s judgement was final.

Judas was astonished, and couldn’t hold her protests back any longer. “I will repent when you do,” she says in defiance. The holiest court goes completely silent. God stands. Jesus is scared.

“You are supposed to protect your children, yet you let them beat me into submission. I would have told them the sky was purple if it meant they would stop. You say my crime is betrayal, but I disagree. If the weakness of my humanity wad a crime then arrest me here, but I think the only crime committed that day was the assault of an innocent woman,” she stands strong as the silence around her rings in her ears. Judas doesn’t stop. “Would you rather me have died? Why should I have to die to prove my loyalty when I had followed Jesus for years of my life before then? Was that not enough? Have you ever wondered what Peter would have done in my position? Do you think Jesus would rather have me dead because I refused to give him up?” She raises her voice in defiance, it echos off the marble floors and ceilings. “Never,” Jesus answers her for his father.

God’s face remains neutral, but his words send a chill through Judas’ body. “I thought I had rid the heavens of Lucifer’s poison, but it seems some has seeped its way into your broken soul, little one,” Jesus’ eyes widen as he shakes his head, “Father please, have mercy-“

“This is mercy, my son,”

Judas is seized by two archangels who grab her by her arms and push her to her knees. “Remove her wings, and cast her out of this holy place. I will see to it I guide her to enlightenment from there,” God makes his way down the steps from his throne to kneel in front of her taking her face in his hands while he wipes the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs. This does nothing to distract her from the feeling of the Archangels’ hands at the base of her wings where they meet her back. This cannot be how they removed the from all those angels during Lucifer’s rebellion. This is cruel, this isn’t paradise.

“I know you will resent me for this. It is a burden I am willing to bear to save you from yourself, my daughter,” God says to her gently, as if this pains him as much as it does her. Judas is beginning to understand why Lucifer left when he did, and is wondering why she didn’t go with him when he asked her to join him. She looks at Jesus, who won’t watch, then to Peter, who has a look that would be unreadable to anyone else. Not her though, Peter is watching because he has to. It’s his duty. Peter is upset.

“You created Lucifer in your image. Body and mind. Yet you say he is a poison, and cast him out because he dared defy you? Or because he was too much like you, and you began to see the flaws embedded in yourself? Poking a hole in the facade of absolute perfection and authority,”

God smiles and chuckles at her, patting her lightly on top of her head. “May your veracity serve you well in your travels, little one,” he rises from his kneel before nodding at the angels. They effortlessly rip the beautiful white wings from her back. It’s not clean; it’s not meant to be clean. It’s meant to serve as a reminder of what happens when one defies God. Judas screams in pain as she collapses forward, caught by the same angels who has just thrown her wings to the side. They drag her out of the hall, blood from the gaping wounds in her back trailing behind her for everyone to see. So this is what it is like- to be martyred for what you believe to be true.

Judas is cast out of Heaven, she falls from the sky for what seems like years. The fire burning her skin and cauterizing her wounds. Humans look up at the night sky and see a shooting star. They make a wish.

Introducing my new OC: Judas Iscariot (she/her). The betrayer. The flightless bird. The victim. The martyr.
