I feel his presence in my room before I open my eyes, maybe it's because of him that the lights are acting up. I open my eyes and see him.
He's dressed in black like the last time. The lights are going on and off and since I know his reaction to any form of light, I know it's because of him. But even the contrasting darkness and light can ever change how hot he looks.
"I knew you would come." I say and get off the bed to go to him.
"I will always come for you." He says in a low voice.
I move closer to him and stop when I'm right in front of him. "It's because of this, isn't it?" I raise my bloody hand and wave it in his face.
He takes a few steps away from me. "What happened to you?" He asks and I can hea
Six forty-five. That's what my timer is reading. I decide to get ready for school, sleep isn't that relaxing anyway.As I shower I no longer bleeding but the cut is still visible and it's not pretty. I'm a little anxious to get to school. I need to talk to Sky but the problem is I don't exactly know what going to say to him.I know he's going to ask about my hand, how will I begin to explain that somehow I felt the need to injure myself so I could seduce a demon?He would think I'm insane, help I'm beginning to think I'm insane.I head downstairs with my backpack, ready to leave for school but my father and Ronnie are still having breakfast.My father looks up when he sees me and he immediately frowns. "You removed your bandage." It's not a question but rather a statement."Well yes. I'm no longer bleeding." I give hi
I'm rearranging my books in my locker , preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch and I'm relieved when I see Sky approaching me. He doesn't have any books preparing him which informs me that he already put them away in his locker. "Hey," He says and somehow he sounds nervous. "Hi," I say before closing my locker. "So about what you said earlier....." Before he can finish whatever it is he has to say I grab him by his shirt and press him against the lockers which of course causes a ruckus. Some students even stop to look at , wondering what the hell we are thinking fraternizing in the hallway where any teacher might see us but none of that matters to me , it is just high school after all. I firmly press myself against we have a lot of eyes on us are the moment , my mind drifts to yesterday when we were intimate for the first time and my body immediately reacts to those feeling
I wash my face to remove any trace of tears on my face. I don't want my boyfriend worrying about me way more he already is. I exit the bathroom after I'm satisfied with my appearance. I bump into Ella before I can go look for Sky. "You okay?" She asks. "Yes yes, I'm good." I nearly stammer due to my nervousness. "Oh ok." She seems convinced that I'm fine because she immediately changes the subject. "Anyway I need you to come tonight." "I would love to come but I'm grounded." "Come on Evie, you have got to come. Sky will be there." She's pouting, clearly not going to take no for an answer. "I know but..." "Work something out. I don't know, maybe ask your sister to tag along. You have to come." She's
Once we are in his room I push me away, I know I have no right but I'm so mad at him right now. It's bad enough that he slept with but doing it at school, a forbidden place, makes me mad with fury and jealousy. It just proves to me that Phoebe is fun and a risk taker and I couldn't possibly compete with that. "You have no right to be mad." I look at him in disbelief. "Excuse me? So you wouldn't be mad if a previous lover of mine had described the explicit details of our sex life?" "Don't be ridiculous. You don't have any previous lovers. You are a virgin, aren't you?" He tries to touch me. I step back from him. "That's not the point!" I shout angrily. "Then what is?" His voice is just as high as mine. "Because she isn't my previous lover!"
Something isn't right. I feel like we have an intruder , I can feel someone's gaze. I wake up with a jolt. It's suddenly dark which is strange because neither Sky nor bothered with switching off the lights. I know he's still asleep because I can hear his soft snores. " "Sky." I shake him but he doesn't budge. I try again but it's fruitless , he's flat. "He can't hear you." A voice in the darkness says. I turn my head and see his silhouette. He's here and he was watching my boyfriend and I sleeping. I don't know if I should be scared or angry. I go with the latter. I get off the bed immediately so I can confront him. "What are you doing here?" I whisper yell at James so I don't make enough noise to wake up Sky. "I wanted to see you." "What?" I still can't believe he's here , in Sky's bedroom. Which reminds me. "What did you do to him?" I ask and st
The rest of the week goes by smoothly, it's already Friday and I'm getting ready for my sleepover at Ella's house. My father finally lifted my punishment and I'm officially not grounded anymore! I think my recent bonding with Ronnie also contributed a lot to my father's decision, even my therapist commented that my relationship with my stepsister has evolved so I'm definitely going to keep hanging out with her. As soon as I finish packing my clothes for the next two days, I make my way downstairs. I'm surprised to see Ella sitting comfortably in the living room with my family. I didn't expect her to come and pick me up but here she is with my family hanging on her every word, well Ella is charming after all. Ella immediately rushes to tackle me as soon as she sees me. "Evie!" She says cheerfully. "Ella!" I mimick. "You are he
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sky asks. "We don't have to do this." He's trying to give me an out even though he wants me as well, I can feel his arousal for me. "I need you to be mine in every sense of the word, so trust me when I say I want this." I lean I'm to kiss him and he instantly grabs a handful of my hair and crushes his lips to mine. I can taste the need and desire to have me in his kiss. His hands are roaming all over my upper body and I want more. I momentarily remove my mouth from his so I can remove my top. Once it's off I toss it somewhere in his room. "You are so beautiful." He murmurs. I grin. "So are you." I decide it's time he start ti get naked as well and start to remove his t-shirt. I pull it over his head but all my excitement leaves my body when I don't see Sky but rather I see James, with his d
There isn't much security at the Rosemont mansion so I just let myself into their house. They call me sister so I don't think they will mind that I just barged into their house. I'm in the living room and it's empty. It's just as best and serene as I remember. It suits their personalities but I'm not here to admire the decor. "Amelia!" She's the one I call our first because I feel more comfortable in her presence. No disrespect to Nikolina and Cassandra but Amelia can easily pass off as a normal person. "Sister?" All three sisters are hurrying downstairs probably surprised by my unannounced visit. Even though it shouldn't surprise me at this point, I'm a little taken aback by their matching robs and how their hair is braided in the same exact way. What is it with these three? "Heaven?" Amelia doesn't know what
They arrive back to their world of Xnandria and the master is barely alive. She worries that he's going to bleed to death and die. It's a known fact that the wounds of the wings never heal, especially if the creature who tore them out is a powerful angel who's also half angel. "Brothers , sisters!" She cries for help as she carries the master into his temple. "Achilles!" She calls for her sister. "Master is dying!" They get into the temple and it's unusually empty with the exception of Zacharie, Hasiah and Achilles who's sitting in the master's chair by the way. Zacharie and Hasiah stand beside, making no attempt to come help help her with the master. "So the girl managed to remove his wings, I hear the wounds never heal." Achilles dares to say. Sarrtina senses a shift in her sister's loyalty. "Achilles what are you doing?" "My brothers and I have been talking a
The sun's getting real low, it's finally over, Soliaire is out of my life now. I managed to defeat him and I managed to stay alive. It's the end of all of this and finally I can breathe easily. I can finally move on from this chapter of my life. Now I can be with Sky and we can get married. "Heaven," Sky finally approaches me. "Are you okay?" He asks but I don't reply him I just grab him and pull him in for a tight hug. "It's finally over, we can be together peacefully and we can finally get married." I tell him as I hold on tightly. "Are you sure you are okay?" He's still pretty shaken up with everything that's just happened. "Yes yes, I'm fine." I try to convince him. "Are you ok though, you are not hurt?" I briefly let him go so I can look at him to see for myself that he is indeed ok. "Yes I'm fine but you don't look fine." I frown. "What do y
I am not afraid anymore. I'm going to fight and I'm going to stay alive, for Sky and for myself. If something were to happen to me, it would kill him just as much as it kills me and I can't do that to him. He deserves to be happy and after I win this fight I'm going to devote the rest of my life to making him happy. Soliaire looks at home on Alice's couch, I suppose the color does go with his dark demeanor. While he looks relaxed and calm on the couch, Sarrtina, Achilles and the other two men I believe to be Zacharie and Hasiah, look like their are ready for a fight. It goes without saying that Zaralina and I are quite numbered. It's the five of them against the two of us. And if we are going to get out of this one alive, I have to believe that the reason Soliaire pulled out the big guns is because he fears that I'm stronger than him and can actually fight him. Zaralina won't let me walk further into the room
It takes me about two hours to explain everything going on to Sky. We have moved to the bed, deciding it's best to talk about this while sitting down, or in this case lying down. "So if you are mistress, what does that make me, master?" He asks teasingly. I lean up on my elbow to look at him, wondering just how he can be amused at a time like this. I swat his arm. "What is wrong with you?" I ask trying to sound serious but I can't contain my laughter. He laughs too, grabbing me and pulling me on top of me. "Clearly missing so much school is messing with my brain." "Yeah, clearly." I mock him, my fingers messing with his hair. "Goes to show how much I love you. Before you, I had never skipped school but now I do it so naturally. You are so lucky I love you." Only Sky can be funny and sweet at the same time. I start to kissing him, passionately on t
"Mistress!" Her voice is frantic as she shakes me. "Wake up!" My eyes snap open only to see that I'm in my room, safe and sound. Zaralina is hovering over me and if I'm not mistaken, she actually looks worried. I sit up, momentarily touching my back to see if my wings are still intact. The whole thing just felt so real that I need confirmation that I'm alright and that nothing actually happened. "Do not worry, they are still there." Zaralina says, clearly reading my mind. Feeling embarrassed by the fact that she's caught me weirdly touching my back, I immediately stop. "I just wanted to check." I tell her awkwardly, I'm still not a friendly basis. "I understand." She says as she sits besides me on my bed. "You had the vision, didn't you?" I nod. "Yes, he killed me." "Soliaire can be vicious when his power is threatened
Send your dreams where nobody hides Give your tears to the tide No time No time It's official, Wait is now my new favorite song. It's calming and distracting enough. It makes me feel like I'm in a different world, one where I can go to sleep and actually dream peacefully. But unfortunately I'm not in that world, I'm in this one, this never ending nightmare that is my life. I have to say, if it weren't for my unconditional love for Sky, I would save Soliaire the trouble and just kill myself because this is seriously getting out of hand. I even feel like a prisoner in my own house. With all these intruders invading my house in the middle of the night, I'm starting to feel out of place here. Amelia removes my earphones. "You are not a prisoner." She assures me. "We just want to keep you safe."
I knew Sky would take the news badly but I didn't think he would take it this bad. While he seems to have calmed down now, resting on top of me with his head on my chest and his hands wrapped around my waist, it took me a while to get him to stop crying.Up until today I had never seen him this emotional and it's breaking my heart to see that I have caused him so much pain. I didn't do it on purpose but I still hurt him none the less."What are you thinking about?" He asks me, after moments of silence."You." I say simply whilest I play with his blonde locks."What is your favourite song?" I suddenly blurt out.Sky lifts his head from my stomach. "What?" He's surprised by my question."I just realized that I'm going to marry you and I don't really know everything about you, including your favourite song.""Don't you think we have more i
Sky tightly grips my hand, like he's afraid I'm going to run away or something. In all honesty I'm also scared, if the Rosemont sisters came all this way to talk, it must be very important and it their world it could also mean very dangerous. They didn't even take the time to go and change out of their uniforms. "What is it?" I ask, trying to ignore my heart hammering against my rib cage. As usual Amelia is the first to speak up. "I'm sorry Heaven but we have some bad news." "What happened?" I don't know if I can handle anymore bad news. "It's James....." "He's dead, I know." I interrupt her, relieved that it's not something serious. I mean him dying is serious, especially if it's part of some elaborate plan for a reunion on Aurora's part, but it's at least something I already knew. "You know?" Amelia is surprised. "Yes." I
It feels like it's been a while since I have had this kind of normalcy, the kind where we all sit together at lunch break, Ella's endless chatter and Kevin drooling over Amelia. Gosh, I even missed Phoebe though I would prefer it if she stopped thinking about my boyfriend so much, but she's finally giving up on trying to get with him especially now that she knows we are engaged. Well everyone knows and we have Ella to thank for that. Ella won't stop talking about mine and Sky's upcoming wedding. It should be irritating but it's not. I guess the fact that she's excited about it makes me happy, it's makes it feel like an actual wedding and not a solution to so many of my problems. "I have a question." Kevin says, looking at both Sky and I. "Are you guys really serious about getting married?" He asks and for a moment I think he's joking. "Because Evie you don't have to marry him just because you are pregnant. I know a guy who can help you o
