"When are the two of you going to make up already? I miss sitting with Max, Sophia, and Alina. They were good company, much better company than Brady and them," Kendra complained for the hundredth time this past three days. Thank goodness it was Friday so I wouldn't have to hear her rant for an entire weekend.
"No one asked you to constantly follow me around like a tale. You could always just sit by them and be happy," I snapped, closing my locker and shrugging my backpack onto one shoulder. Recently, I wasn't in a good mood to do much and yet Kendra still stuck around.
Kendra scowled at me, kneeling her shoulder against Alina's locker, "You don't have to be a jerk, Zion. We get it, you and Alina had a fight but don't take it out on us. You can't ignore them as if you've never met them," she sounded like she actually cared about what I did and in all fairness –in any other situation &ndash

*TRIGGER WARNING: This content contains suicide, you're a sensitive reader please skip those parts!ZIONTime, a concept that never lasts no matter how much you try to save it. To me, time flew by so quickly mainly because I was keeping myself busy for the last week and a half. This coming Friday night would be the Halloween dance. Apparently, every Halloween there's a festival in town. All the citizens were already preparing for the said festival, Halloween itself would be this coming Saturday.I trained every day after school. Everything felt as if it were coming naturally to me now. My abilities weren't that difficult to use once I tried them out a few times. I didn't need to imagine what it would feel like to have my wings anymore for them to appear, I simply just thought of them and a split second later I would be flying in the air. There wasn't the need for me to stare a

ZIONIt made no sense hiding it from her anymore. Before I knew the truth, I thought defending her would seem weird especially since she was a total stranger. It would have made more sense if I went along with their ridiculous joke instead of defending her. But now we both knew why I had that impulse. That stupid prophecy created a bond between us before we could even meet.She ran after me, well ran as much as she could considering her injured leg. I purposely slowed my pace so she could catch up. Even though I hated to admit it, I still willingly cared for her. The part of me that was good cared for all mortals, especially weak injured ones. That obviously came from my mother."What do you mean that was your first warning, what did he do?" She asked, confusion lacing her tone.Shrugging a shoulder, I kicked the pebbles with my boot, "Is it really important what he did? I gave him a warni

ZION Things were slightly better between Alina and me. We still weren't talking to one another in school but we were civilized, greeting each other whenever we saw each other. We pretended as if whatever happened yesterday never happened. No one needed to know what went on between us or what almost happened to her. However, we had to disclose this to the teachers and principal who handled this as quietly as possible. Turned out, the school had a working security cam pointing toward the bleachers which recorded everything.I just hoped no one watched that camera footage every day because then they would have seen what happened between me and that Megan girl.Brady was expelled with immediate effect and I was given a warning. The principal didn't want to issue me with a suspension because I was basically considered a hero. They reprimanded us from skipping school after the incident but after Alina

ZION"Oh look at you, so handsome. When did get all grown up?" my mother dramatically sighed, pretending to wipe a tear from her eye. She stood on the tips of her toes to ruffle my hair but she still couldn't reach, my height towering over her. With a pouty face, she called my father who happily carried her to perform the action."Mom, you're too much!" I groaned, lightly slapping her hand away."Let your mother enjoy this moment son. She never thought she would see it coming," my dad chuckled, kissing his beautiful wife on the cheek.She gave him a pointed glare, "It's not like you saw it coming to so don't get too smart dear husband."Holding his hands up in a surrendering motion, my dad mumbled, "Okay, okay. Jeez, woman!""If you two are done being weird can I get going. I don't want to be late," I placed the Batman mask over my head and awkwardly stared at them. I still couldn't believe that I would be attending the dance. Alina and I had picked out the costumes a few days ago and

ALINA Somehow, we always found our way to the lake. Or at least Zion always found his way to the lake. I realized that he found solace in its quietness. Peace in its tranquility. The clear water of the lake reflected the black stary sky, rippling ever so slightly with the harsh gust of wind that disturbed its peace. The wind ruffled the leaves of the tall trees that lined the area, hiding us from the world. My eyes watched the full silver moon that glistened brightly in the sky. A shiver racked my body, the weather becoming colder as we approached winter.I sat on the pebbles that covered the shore, Zion next to me. He had changed from his costume to a pair of jeans and a T-shirt that he had in his trunk. His car had so many different things stashed in the trunk that it wouldn't surprise me if he pulled out a mini fridge anymore. He had even made me change into a pair of sweats and one of his T-shirts that hugged my figur

ZION "That was amazing! So damn amazing! Like damn!" Alina gushed as we landed onto the ground, "Thank you for that and for not dropping me." She grabbed the shirt that had fallen during our heated kiss and adorned it. The flimsy material shaped her perfectly, hugging her curves.It took everything in me not to look at her, not to ogle at her voluptuous breasts or go further than just kiss her. One night, I just had one night of this before everything would go back to normality tomorrow and she would go back to wanting a platonic relationship with me."I'd never let you fall Angel face," I cooed, pressing a lingering kiss to her cheeks which instantly heated.Her skin flushed and she let out a nervous laugh, "We should really be heading back. It should be close to midnight and I don't want to get into trouble." She said, running her fingers through her disheveled hair. Each time her finge

ZIONI watched the dagger soar through the air, barely grazing my arm as it flew pass me. Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion; Alina asking me to run and get out of here, me watching every rotation the dagger did before hitting its intended victim, the way the dagger finally pierced Lucifer in the abdomen, the way he fell to his knees with his mouth open and eyes wide but no sound emanating from him. It all felt so strange.Alina held my shoulders firmly and began shaking me back to reality, the chaos of the situation finally settling into my brain. I glared at her but she didn't seem fazed. The panicked expression on her face becoming more and more distressing."Zion, snap out of it," she chided, "you have to get out of here. Get home and protect your family. Do you understand me, go!" She shoved me away and when I just stood there, eyes still glaring at her, she resorted to yelling, "Zion! Go, now! That won't hold him forever. It will hurt him but not kill him since

ZIONI steered clear of Alina for the next couple of weeks as much as I could. I didn't want to make things awkward again so we still hung out together with our group of friends but I never gave Alina the chance to catch me alone. I really wasn't ready to have a full discussion with her about everything that happened.That Monday, Alina drove my car to school whereas I just flew there. The feeling of allowing my wings to breath was sensational, it was definitely something I could have gotten used to if I were actually allowed to do it. I landed in the forest bordering the school, made sure my wings were gone before shrugging on a shirt and continuing with my day as a normal everyday teenager.The rest of the week I used my car. Rumors spread around school that Alina and I had suddenly become a couple after she turned up in my car that Monday but they died down as soon as they started. The new rumors that r

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. I think my brain deserves some rest and I'd like to spend time with you for yo
