Dinner surprisingly goes smoothly. Cassandra is back to her usual herself.
Watching her now carefree and chatting endlessly with Ronnie, you would never think that she was just crying in my arms just minutes earlier.
My whole family is quite taken by the Rosemont sisters even my dad. I don't blame them because the three sisters look so normal that I briefly wonder if it's from all these years of practice or if they were always good at concealing the nature of their true identity.
It then hits me that it's no longer accurate to refer to the Rosemont sisters as 'them' cause like it or not I'm a part of whatever twisted nature they are as well. Maybe I should take lessons on how to act 'normal' from them. They did help me with the whole hearing people's loud thoughts thing. And considering the fact that the nonhuman with a demon inside of me, I could learn a lot from them.
When Am
I giggle as he chases after me in the field of lilies. I continue to laugh when he tackles me onto the soft ground. He lies on top of me and I lift my hand to push his blond curls away his face. Sky'shair is awfully long and even though I like it, sometimesit almost covers his piercing blue eyes. "I love your eyes." I tell him. "I love you." He says before leaning in to kiss me. I hook my hands around his neck andkiss him back with the same need and passion. Suddenly the atmosphere around us has completely changed. It's no longer sunny and calm but now it's windy and the sun has completely disappeared. Sky starts to help me to my feet as I wrap my arms around myself because of the now cold weather. "Let's get inside." Sky says but before he can grab my hand, the wind gets stronger and it separates us before we can actually hold each other. &nbs
It doesn't take me long to get to the Gomez residence. It should concern me that anyone can get into their house with so much ease but I'm too concerned about Sky to worry about that at the moment. I rush up to his room, anxious to see how he's doing. My heart drops when I find his bed empty. The sheets are all rumbled, indicating that someone was recently sleeping on the bed. And knowing Sky as I do I know he would never leave his bed this untidy. Before my mind has the chance to run around with crazy thoughts about how someone might have taken him, I hear sounds coming from his bathroom. A second later he comes out looking pale and exhausted. His eyes are baggy, like he hasn't been sleeping, and his nose is all puffy and red. He really is sick. He frowns as soon as he notices me. "What...." He starts coughing before he can finish his question.
I have always thought that my death would be something I inflicted on myself. In my mind I have always been the one to send myself to the afterlife, not some demon on a mission to please his master. But that was before, before I knew I was a nonhuman, before I had no knowledge of Aurora and before I had a target on my back. I try to get into the demon's mind, to try and find some humanity in him but it's no use. All I see is darkness. He wants to get his claws on me and watch as he sucks the life out me. He wants me to beg for my life because it will excite him to see me powerless. I'm starting to wish I had mastered using my powers because then I would stand a fighting chance against this thirsty demon. But it's too late for that now, I'm too paralyzed with shock to even read his thoughts cleared, much less fight him. I hate that I'm going to succumb to whatever pain he's goin
After the Rosemont sisters leave I stay by Ronnie's side. Cassandra had to reverse her memories for the second time and apparently she had to put to her to sleep as well. As I watch her sleep I realize that Cassandra was right, Ronnie does look beautiful when she's asleep. Not that she's ugly but she just looks so pretty and serene when she's unconscious. Even when she's asleep I can hear her thoughts or are they her dreams, I'm not entirely sure. But I'm sure of one thing, she's thinking about Cassandra. It might be a little difficult to read or understand other nonhuman's thoughts but normal humans I can read just fine. Especially if they are as transparent as my dear stepsister. She likes her, she likes her a lot. Just like Cassandra, Ronnie believes Cassandra is perfect. She also struggles to understand what's so appealing about Cassandra for she has never felt like this before. I have to force myself out of her head because
I never realized how peaceful humans look when they are in the depths of deep slumber. Just by looking at one you would think all well within the world, and maybe it is but not in my world. As I watch Sky sleep I realize two things, one being that I have finally embraced the fact that I'm a nonhuman and the other is that for the first time in my life I am truly scared. For the last few days all I have been feeling this intense fear, gut wrenching fear that at any moment one of the demons after me would come and kill the love of my life. Hence why I have been watching him sleep and basically following him around for days now. Of course Sky has no idea that his girlfriend is a part-time peeping tom. I figured nothing good would come out of him knowing that I watch over him while he sleeps. Our relationship is already unconventional, I don't want to put more strain on it. Besides it's probably best he doesn't know. Ho
She steps into the church, the last place someone like her belongs which is quite ironic because she was raised in a place of worship. But then again that was before she was born again, before she discovered her true self. She doesn't hesitate to go further into the church because despite her beliefs, she knows this is the one place humans are not allowed to judge. Their respect and fear of their Master forbids them from commiting any form of sins in this place. But the same can't be said for her, she can sin at any place she wishes. After all, she isn't human and she quite certainly does not serve their Master. She approaches her sister who is kneeling by the chapel and kneels with her. "Praying sister?" She asks, as she presses her palms together as if praying as well. Her sister doesn't bother with looking at her. "I t
I'm standingon the roof of the school building oblivious to the sudden rainfall. I feel numb and paralyzed from everything. I move closer to the edge, my heart not pounding from any sort of fear. How could I be afraid, I have just experienced my worst fear so now I'm no longer afraid. I don't fear anything anymore, not even death. I have never tried to jump off a building before or rather Aurora never tried that when she attempted to kill me all those times. I think it's the most effective way to kill yourself, nothing can go wrong. His face is the only thing in my mind as I prepare to jump. I keep seeing the hurt, the disappointment and fear on his face. I think his fear of who I really am is what me the most. If he can't accept me I don't see the point of going on living as what I am. "Heaven what are you doing?" And she's back. The voice in my head, except she'
"Heaven." I hear her calling my name but I can't see her. I look around for her but she's nowhere to be found. "Heaven." She says again. "Run Heaven, they are coming for you." "What?" I ask, confused. Just who is coming for me? "Run. They are going to kill you!" The anguished voice says again and I start to run, not knowing where I'm going or who I'm running from But I don't get far. The girl, the angel turned demon with red hair catches up to me. Suddenly I'm on the ground with her towering above me, smiling cynically. "You are going to die dear angel." She says before grabbing me, bringing her teeth to my flesh. She's going to kill me! "No!" I shout, trying to get out of her grasp. "No!" I shout again, except this time it's not only me, Sky is also shouting. Wait, Sky? I wake up with a jolt. Sky is tossing and turning beside me, screaming out the wo
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
