PENRYN- Raffe and I have been walking in silence ever since we had to stop flying, for what reason Raffe wouldn't tell me. Whenever I asked, he had always told me. "So Paige and my wings aren't endangered". Why did he always have to be so vague? "Penryn?" a voice chimed in from the forest. Raffe looked at me with suspicion, turning toward whoever called my name. My jaw dropped and I had to hold back my girly giggle bubbling in my throat. "Sam!" I shrieked and ran toward him excitedly.
RAFFE-
Not only was it strange that someone called for Penryn. But her reaction surprised me more, I watched her petite frame running toward someone apparently named Sam. I followed my gaze until I noticed a tall boy with dorky blonde hair, blue eyes and a wide smile. Penryn jumped into his arms with a hug, I knew I didn't like this guy…. Wait. Why did I care? Penryn wasn't my pet, she was just a daughter of man I was getting my wings back with… right? I crossed my arms over my chest as I waited for her to realize she was wasting precious time. I heard Penryn laugh softly and she pressed a kiss to Sam's cheek. Now I was mad. Stomping over to them, I grabbed Penryn's arm. A bit more roughly then needed, she whipped around. Her dark eyes flaming with rage "what is your problem?" she demanded in the tone I usually thought was cute. "N-Nothing" I stuttered and let go of her arm. Since when did I stutter? I never stutter.
PENRYN- Ignoring Raffe's annoying walk in, I quickly re-wrapped my arms around Sam, "I've missed you so much" I smiled. Sam smiled back "I miss you too, kitten. Mind telling me why you have a demon with you?" he asked hesitantly. I stepped back and a slight blush lit up my cheeks. "Umm- Sam. This is Raffe. Raffe, Sam. He's helping me find my sister", I said. Sam nodded then lit up, "no one is going to believe you're here! C'mon!" he grabbed my hand and dragged me with him. I laughed happily for the first time in a while, glancing back at Raffe he following with a look that told me he disapproved. But I didn't care, Sam was my best friend and the closet thing I had to a brother back before the angels took over. Sam led me to a large house, five or so stories. A bonfire was in the lawn, two other people sat around it. "Guys! I told you she would come to our rescue" Sam smiled and called over the others. I noticed it was my best girlfriend and her brother. Sam threw me into a group hug which I desperately tried to get out of before I was choked. "I can't believe you're all still okay" I knew I was blinking tears away. These were the people I loved like family, had classes with, went to parties with and most importantly used to get away from my mother. I knew I had to find Paige but nothing would stop me from enjoying my friends right now.
RAFFE- I'll admit as much as I was mad about Penryn wasting time, it was nice to see her happy. It was rare she actually smiled or laughed with pure happiness. It brought a small pinkness to her cheeks and a sparkle in her dark eyes. "Forgot me already?" I spoke up with roll of my eyes. Penryn looked up in surprise, she really thought I wasn't here? Penryn looked at her feet slightly "guys… This is Raffe, don't freak out. He's a friend and helping me",Penryn said and motioned her hands toward me. Walking toward her, her three friends looked me over. "Hi Raffe, I'm Lisa. I'm the friend that left Penryn at a party for some collage guy" Lisa smiled. Penryn shook her head slightly, "And I'm Lou, Lisa's brother and the guys Penryn fantasies about" he gave a proud smile. Penryn rolled her eyes "you wish I fantasied about you!" she objected with a grin. Who was this Penryn? I asked myself. I liked this Penryn. "Then I'm obviously Sam. Penryn's best friend, brother, guard, cuddle-pillow, councilor, babysitter, matchmaker, basically everything." Sam wrapped an arm around Penryn with a smile. I ached a brow at Penryn who quietly shook her head with a smile. "So… Penryn. Now that you're here, you know what we need to do." Lisa grinned, Penryn looked up. "No. I'm not doing it" she warned. Lisa grinned "we're doing it." She said. "I'm not." Penryn shook her head. Sam gave Penryn a puppy dog look with a trembling lip, "fine." She crossed her arms over her chest in defeat. That really worked on her?
