She did her best to avoid me for the rest of the day. If she found me taking a seat beside her then she would trade seats with someone to get away from me. Most, if not all of the girls she traded seats with were thrilled by her offer, grabbing the sliver of a chance to talk to me. I hated it, every minute of it. She could see how much I despised it and she took pleasure in watching my annoyance grow.
And yet I still wanted to be near her, to speak to her. I was clearly losing my shit.
The only class we didn't share was economics. I couldn't help but wonder what elective she chose in its place. My economics teacher was young for her age and I was certain every boy in the class chose this elective just so they could drool over her like pathetic dogs. Ms. Fielding ignored the whistles, flirtatious looks and constant ogling from the students as best she could. It surprised me that the attention

ZION I sat outside the principles office as I waited for my parents to show up. Kendra sat silently beside me. Her friends sitting opposite us. It surprised me that she hadn't gone with them, she chose to sit with me although we just met not even an hour ago. The boy I punched held an ice pack to his swelling eye. A purple bruise beginning to form."I didn't peg you for the guy who had problems controlling his anger," Kendra decided to open her mouth and I was suddenly wishing that she decided to sit with the group instead of with me, "The guy you punched, his name is Brady Hampshire. His father is the richest man in town and the biggest dick if you asked me. They're going to do anything to make your life hell now just because of that."I scoffed at the thought of someone making my life worse than it was already, "He probably won't have the chance because I may not be returning tomorrow." This school was

ZIONI sat with my father in the lounge as he looked over the plans for the house. He planned to tear the entire house down and build it from scratch, making it look like a mansion. If it were up to my father, he would build a huge home making it look like something the grim reaper would live in but thanks to my mother, there was going to be color in the house. She already began clearing all dead trees in the front yard, hiring a landscaper to decorate the place to make it look more inviting.My father tossed a book toward me, not even looking up from the sheet of blue paper displayed on the coffee table, "After what you did today, I'm not entirely sure I want to help you anymore but, it doesn't seem like I have a choice. Go through the book. Some of the things in there may or may not help you."The book had no name, just a leathery brown plain cover, and the brown pages inside where tatted and torn from m

ZION"You're evil," I croaked, sucking in a sharp breath before shoving my head into the toilet and regurgitating the contents of my stomach. Whatever was in that mac and cheese clearly was lethal and I should have figured that out the moment I saw no one else eating it. Today, of all days, today was the day Kendra chose to initiate our bet and I finally understood why."Look, I expected you to eat one bite and spit it out. No one asked you to be a macho man and eat the entire serving," Kendra taunted, standing outside the stall and laughing at me.I honestly felt as if I was dying! I just didn't want to seem weak and spit out the horrid shit the moment I put it in my mouth so I took it like a man, and completed the entire serving. Not even two minutes after eating the mac and cheese, I had to race into the restroom to throw up. Kendra allowed herself to follow behind, slipping h

ZION"I'll wack you over the head with this textbook and maybe, just maybe, some sense would get knocked into you," Alina threatened, her words holding so much conviction that it actually scared me slightly.I pulled the textbook out of her hand with my free one and with the arm I had on her shoulders, I led her toward the lunch tables outside. The textbook read 'The Science behind Psychology' and I nearly scoffed at that, "Psychology isn't a science, it's allowing any nosey son of a bitch to make a quick buck by listening to other people's depressing lives. I bet the only reason they do it is to make themselves feel better about themselves like if he's life is crappier than mine then all's good with the world."When she quirked her brow at me I couldn't help but stare in awe. She made the simple action look like an art, that's how perfectly raised her one brow was compared to the other. I held th

ZION"Zion, for fucks sakes. Can't you keep your hands to yourself," Kendra fumed as she swatted my fingers away from her, "Didn't your mama teach you not to mess with a black girl's weave!" The scowl on her face amused me as well the red weave she decided to get during the weekend."No one asked you to pick fire engine red for your hair. It's not my fault you look like a stoplight with sparkling skin," I taunted, watching how her caramel skin glittered under the soft glow of the sun. It was a dull day but the sun decided to show itself now and then.Shooting me the bird, she tossed her straight as a pin hair over her shoulders, "Bitch, you know I'm gorgeous. Now I'm gorgeous and I stand out." With those words, she shot me a playful wink that had me rolling my eyes.We were standing outside the school building, both of us kneeling against my car and facing the sun to take in its warmth. Th

ALINAI felt strange. There was this weird feeling that I couldn't shake off no matter how much I tried. The feeling only calmed and faded away when he was around me, looking at me, talking to me and I hated it. That soft glow of light that emanated off him was still visible to my eyes, however, most of the time it remained a soft yellow. I couldn't help but notice that each time Brady was around, that glow turned into a bright flame of red. Something was up with them, but I didn't know what. It was unlike me to poke my nose in other people's business but then again, I wasn't acting much like me since school began.We were already at lunch, the day sped by so fast. It seemed like the older I got, the faster time flew by. I knew that was unrealistic but it sure did feel that way. Zion and Kendra decided to sit with Max, Sophia, and me during lunch. Max and Sophia were more than welcoming, easily making friends with them whi

ZIONWeeks past by and I could feel myself getting stronger. That one action a few weeks ago that led to Brady almost dying sent a rush of power through me. I knew it was wrong, so wrong to use my abilities to harm someone. My mother always taught me to never do something like that but when his thoughts floated into my head, when his greatest fear lingered there a second too long, I couldn't help but act on it.His blood-curdling screams, whimpers and cries only sent a titillating wave of energy through my body. I could feel how using the dark side of me to do harm only fueled it and I finally understood why Demons, or dark angels if you will, thrived on it. The feeling was almost erotic. A weird way of phrasing it but also so very exact and true. It was like a drug, you start off small but as time goes on that little bit doesn't satisfy you anymore so you seek more.That's exactly what I was doing rig

ZIONI strolled into the house, my dad already busy correcting the blueprints of the house according to my mom's wishes. My mom was at the hospital, the only hospital this town had. It wasn't really busy there. In the small town, hardly anyone became sick or met into accidents. It was weird in a way. My mom was the one who took care of Brady that day. I tried my best not to think about the situation so she wouldn't know it was me who did that to him.My parents noticed the change in me though. The way I carried myself and the amount of power that rolled off me in waves of energy –mostly dark energy. I could see the worry in my dad's eyes but he never brought it up, probably because my mother asked him to stay silent. I finally understood the amount of power I had, all I had to do was find a way to harness it."Zion, son?" My father said as I sat down on the couch opposite of where he was seated, "Did

ZION"Let me help you with that," I suggested, trying to pry Alina's fingers off the heavy box she attempted to carry. She was doing a good job at it, hiding how much pain she was in by wearing a smile on her face but I could easily spot the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.She bared her teeth at me, a growl like sound vibrating in her throat, "Don't you dare Collins. I can carry my stuff up. I don't need your help."I chuckled at her reaction. So much pride in one little adorable body. Finally, the ding of the elevator was heard and the doors parted. I ushered Alina in, carrying two boxes of my own in my grasp; my boxes, however, were far lighter than hers. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought she brought her entire bedroom of belongings with us to New York.There was another ding and the doors parted to our floor. I kept my footsteps in time with hers, making sure not to leave he

ZION"It's so cold," Alina complained, hugging her body and jumping up and down in one spot, "Why do we have to do this now? I can wait for spring to set in. I'm really in no rush Zi..."I groaned, "You say that now but by tomorrow it will be playing on your mind again so we rather get this done and over with before you drive me to the brink of insanity."She scowled at me, shooting me the bird, "I sometimes wonder why I even love you!" Her statement earned an eye roll from me and a nonchalant shrug. It made sense that she would be cold since she wore a top that had a really low back. The cold probably pricked at the skin of her bare back and arms but that was her fault alone. She now proclaimed to be patient but for the past month, she had been annoyed by the thought of not having her wings. To finally put her at ease, I suggested we test out the theory. It was mid-February now and it was still quite chilly out. This town was known for its limited sunshine so that didn't surprise me

ZION I shrugged off my jacket and pulled off my shirt, tossing the both into the passenger seat before exiting the car. Before doing anything else, I sent a text to Max telling him to take Alina home because I knew she would walk if she couldn't find me. It was cold out and I really didn't want her walking but at the same time I wasn't in the mood for company.Locking my car, I walked over to the frozen lake. It looked like a calming winter wonderland and yet it still wasn't calming enough for the raging storm that was tearing me up from within. Making sure no one was around, I rolled my shoulders and let my wings out. It was cold but the cold didn't bother me as usual.Within five strong strokes I was almost above the clouds; the best place to be once you were in the sky if you had to ask me. Once I made it above the clouds, I just flew around for a bit. Letting the dense air clear my mind. As weird as i

ZIONWe didn't know what to do with Kendra. She kept apologizing profusely, kept saying that she didn't want to do what she did and was forced to by her father. Deep down, I wanted to believe her but I didn't. I couldn't. We still let her go because there was honestly nothing else we could do but we kept a close eye on her. That was until she disappeared two days later. There were rumors that her and her mother had just packed up in the middle of the night and left town.Good riddance I say. The further away from me and my family the better. Killing her would only be a pleasure for me if she brought it to that. There was nothing stopping me from doing it now. Nothing beside Alina ordering me not to I mean. I respected Alina enough to listen to her because I didn't want her to get mad at me. I lost so much, I couldn't lose her too.Mabel, Grayson, and Alina helped plan the funeral
Zion Chapter 54
ZIONI reappeared in my bedroom finding Kendra's hands tied to my bedpost and her father's limb and very dead body still on my bedroom floor. Rolling my shoulders, the weight of my wings vanished so I took the opportunity to put a shirt on. Just then, Alina shot up from the bed with a loud gasp. Her subconscious finally returning to her physical body. The first thing she did was throw a hand behind her to feel her wings which weren't there. Disappointment colored her features when she realized this.Placing a hand on her shoulder, I gave it a gentle reassuring squeeze, "It will all be okay."She met my gaze, "Yeah, I know. I was just getting used to having them that's all," with those words, a perplexed sigh left her lips, "I should be telling you that though not the other way around."I clenched my molars, keeping my mouth shut from spitting something I would regret later. This wasn't a t

ZIONRuthlessness.When I looked into Alina's blackened eyes that were the only thing I could see. She didn't know it, couldn't see it, but at that moment she looked a lot like the man that fathered her. The female devil herself asserting her power and taking the reigns.I knew I showed no emotion, keeping my face blank as I stared at her but deep down my mind was reeling and my stomach was churning. On her back, a pair of beautiful crimson wings sat. Unfurled, they were huge, almost as big as mine. I had never heard of an angel who managed to get their wings back after they were chopped off, but then again, I didn't know they still chopped of wings until I met Alina.Again, it only proved that there was so much I didn't know about my kind. I couldn't help but wonder if those wings would still be there once her subconscious returned to her physical form.

ALINA I heard him. His voice echoed in my head, the words he said rang in my ears and I wanted to scream. I wanted to tell him that I didn't need saving, that I was perfectly fine and that this was a trap but I couldn't because no matter how much I shouted or cried, he couldn't hear me. My physical body was as good as a lifeless shell, immobile and cold.I'm coming to get you Angel face, you hear me? Hang in there okay.Those words were continuously taunting me. Damn him for caring this much! With his mother also here, it made sense that his first thought was to come save us. His father would be in a haze himself, not thinking clearly due to his wife's state. I could see her from where I stood next to my father. He had his little serpent crushing her, draining her of the little power she had. Her screams each time that viper bit her made bile rise up my throat. Her soul would be long gone before Zion could even get here. If only I hadn't gone to Zion's room with Kendra or anywhere al

If you're a sensitive reader, please skip those parts.ZIONRemember when I said this was the best birthday out of the eighteen birthdays I had so far?Well, I spoke to fucking soon for my own good!I stood in my room, listening to the chaos that ensued outside. People were running around. My father's boots thudded against the hardwood floors as he rushed to the main bedroom, probably with my mother in hand. None of them knew about the chaos in front of me at the moment.Kendra stood over Alina's limp body on the floor. There was a steady rise and fall of her chest letting me know that she was alive but she looked like my mother, unmoving and lifeless. That wasn't a good sign, I knew that much considering what happened before. My mother almost died that day and now I ran the risk of los

ZION"Hey, let's head down to the lake for a little ice skating," Alina ecstatically chimed as we exited the school building. Her eyes had this twinkle in them that made my heart still and breath hitch. I wasn't even paying attention to what she was saying because her smile was simply ethereal, "Zi, did you hear me?" She quizzed, hooking her arm with mine.Shaking my thoughts away, I answered, "Uh, yeah...sure. Our skates are still in the trunk of my car right?"She nodded her head, "We never took them out after that day.I took in my surroundings, all the students still lingering outside the school, "Shouldn't we be getting home though? I mean, it's test week so don't you want to study. You know how you get. You stress over the simplest stuff for no reason.""I've been cramming this whole week.
