Bex P.O.V.
I was just sitting at home playing the piano when my best friend, Jesse, flew in my window, narrowly missing me as he shot towards the piano.
"Bex let's go I want to tell you something! C'mon stop being so slow!"
He exclaimed cheerfully while giving me an awfully goofy grin. "Alright I'm coming, just give me a second Jess."
I stood from the bench, trying to figure out why he was so preppy, almost, today. Stretching I felt my wonderful pure white wings expand outward and smile. At that Jesse jumps out the window and takes flight, slightly ahead of me to guide us towards where he wanted to tell me something. I sighed in content as I looked out around us at the blue sky and puffy white clouds. If I looked down I would see a bunch of clueless humans, not knowing that just above them was a floating town that mirrored theirs. Only this one that we lived on inhabited angels and not humans. I shifted my gaze towards Jesse, just in time to see him slowing down.
"Follow me, I want to show you this little cliff and cave that I found a little while ago. When we get there I have something important I need you to know."
Now I was a little worried, Jesse usually isn't a very serious person. I needed to figure out what was on his mind and soon. After a couple moments we landed on a floating area of land that had a spectacular cliff and cave, not to mention the view.
"Alright now this might come as surprising but Bex I-I love you. I want to be with you and deep inside I know that you feel the same way. It might take a while but you will get there."
I stood there shocked. Out of all the things he wanted to tell me, needed to tell me it was that he loved? Through the surprise came a trickle of understanding. The way he always went out and did things for me no matter what it was. After I thought for a little while I realized it wasn't really a shock. I think I always knew or had an inkling. Deep down though I knew I couldn't ever return the feelings, he was my best friend, that was it. Shaking my head I turned to tell him that.
"Jesse I don't think I can ever look at you and feel anything besides friendship, I'm sorry but that's how I feel. I understand that it may be hard for you to be around me for awhile. Just know that I never meant to hurt you in anyway, shape, or form."
Turning my head I see his eyes flash and turn dark and cruel. His face transformed into a maliciousness I'd never seen before. He gave an evil laugh and smirked mercilessly at me.
"You don't understand Bex you were made to be mine. From the moment I saw you I knew you would serve me well. You are mine and you don't get a say in the matter. At first it may be hard but sooner or later you will get used to the idea and like it."
I am more shocked than I have ever been in my entire life. Never had Jesse talked to me like that before. Right now this wasn't my Jesse this wasn't my friend at all.
"I tried to be understanding but I will not tolerate being talked to like that. You may be hurting but it is unacceptable to talk to anyone let alone a woman like that. I'm going to leave now and you can contact me when you get over yourself."
He shook his head darkly.
"I can't let you do that Bex. You aren't getting away from me that easily. Didn't I already tell you that you are mine?"
Cool sweat trickled down my neck, I was nervous. Was he going to try and stop me from leaving? I couldn't tell, I didn't know the person in front of me.
"Jesse I'm just going to leave and we can forget this ever happened alright."
Suddenly he grabbed my arm, hard enough that I would bruise. He pulled me towards him by my arm.
"Didn't you just hear me? I told you that you are not leaving!"
Spit flew from his mouth and sprinkled my face. Grimacing I tried to get out of his grip but he just held me tighter.
"Stop trying to get free, you're never leaving me. Never, even if I have to bind you to me."
Instantly I stilled in his arms, binding is dark magic. He gave a wicked smile when he saw my face.
"Oh so now you understand that you are mine. I get that I do, I know you don't like dark magic. At least for now but you are going to have to get used to it. You know because I use it, like all the time."
As the words leave his mouth, slowly like a cover is being pulled off his wings change color. What used to be white, albeit a bit dirty and muddy, turned into a dark charcoal grey. I had once read somewhere that wings change their color to match their soul. All angels wings are a pure white from the beginning when they come out. Jesse really must have been using dark magic for a long time or a lot of it in a shorter period of time. His were the darkest color I have ever seen without being pure black.
"So you better get used to my wings, I don't feel like putting up that shield anymore."
I need to think fast, I need to get away from him fast. Hoping for surprise I pull my free arm back and punch him as hard as I can with my left hand in a fist. His gripe gets loose for a split second, it's long enough. I take off in a run towards a clearing with few trees so I can take off into the sky and try to find help. Jesse chases me but isn't close enough. I make it to the clearing and start to fly. I'm around four feet off the ground when Jesse jumps and grabs my ankle, pulling down harshly. In response I double my wing speed, I hear a sharp sickening snap. My ankle explodes in pain and I see stars. Pain filled hoarse screams rip through the air as my wings falter slightly and I am pulled down by my shattered anke. When my feet meet the grassy ground I am shoved to the ground. Jesse lowers himself until he is straight above me. Suddenly punches rain down on my, everywhere that he can get his fist is bruised instantly. Then he stands and starts kicking me. I hear another sharp snap and my lungs scream for help. Most definitely has he just broken one of my ribs, another kick to the same spot and I can't breathe. I try to suck in a breath but it's not going to happen. The snapped rib just pierced my lung and it was filling with blood. I start coughing. Blood comes up and gets everywhere. Looking up I see Jesse with a grim face.
"You couldn't even last that long huh? Guess I will just have to revive you, and this time you will listen to me. You won't have a choice."
Black spots start dotting my vision. My body aches worse than anything I have ever felt before.
"J-Jess hel-help me-e."
I try to gasp out.
"I'm sorry Bex but if you had listened you wouldn't be going through this, but as it is you need to learn your lesson first. You have to suffer a little."
He was just going to sit back and watch me gasp for air that wouldn't reach my broken lungs, until I died. I truly didn't know any part of the monster in front of me. I struggled for a while while he perched over my battered body. Finally everything is silent and dark as my struggling body goes limp with death.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Swiftly and silently Jesse leaned over the still body of his now dead obsession. He quickly put her on her back and spread her limbs out like a star fish. Gingerly he stepped over her bruised and battered torso and began to set up the revival ritual. Being newer to the ritual part of dark magic, during his incantation he mispronounced a few Latin words. Thus, after he finished instead of a glow bringing life back to her body, slowly she started to disintegrate and blow away with the wind. Desperately Jesse tried to grasp at the sand sized particles. As soon as his hand made contact, there was a loud boom and his now unconscious body flew back in the air and landed in the cave on the humans land. Instantly he was no longer protected by the angel spells that kept them invisible to any non angles. Never again would he see the land of the angels. For the spell worked in the way that an angel on angel land could see the humans land, but when they land on the land of the humans they could no longer see the place that they had live all their lives.
So I'm not sure about how this story is going to go, but I have a draft of the next chapter started. Please Read and Review.
