Denton opened the front door of his apartment, half naked, wearing just a towel. Typical, Anna thought. His brown hair was wet and completely messy, with some locks of hair covering his eyes, but the blood red of his iris was still visible.
- Did you manage to get rid of the fancy pants and their pet? – He smiled delightfully, in the way that could make Anna melt down.
- Sort of – She entered his apartment and quickly found the white leather sofa she loved, laying happily on it and putting her backpack aside.
- And what do we have there? – Denton pointed to the plaid bag.
- Some goodies you might like.
The backpack was filled with cans of beer, 2 packs of cinnamon flavored cigarettes and two lighters. He kissed Anna on her cheek, sat on the end of the sofa, letting Anna rest her feet on his lap and lit up his first cigarette. The smell of the smoke penetrated Anna's lungs and she urged to do the same.
- So why are you here? – Denton asked between one inhale and the other.
- I just wanted to see you…
- And… - He raised one eyebrow making Anna question why she was the only one who couldn't do it.
- Remember when you told me that when I got tired of pretending I should come see you? – Anna saw his red eyes glow. – Well I'm not like them and you were right: being bad is way better.
- This is probably the best day of my life! – He jumped out of the sofa, impressing Anna on how his towel was still tight on his waist. – I need to start training you and making the arrangements to our trip back to the Academy…
- But for now – Anna stood up, interrupting Denton. She passed her hands around his neck, and played with his hair, and looked deep into his eyes. – I got a better idea.
She kissed him. And again. And again. It took him a while to realize what was happening but when he finally did, Anna couldn't be more satisfied. He involved her with his arms, pulling her closer. His soft lips touched her neck and made a trail of kisses all the way to her mouth. He took of her shirt, touching her skin, making her feel warm.
Anna felt too warm and all of a sudden a strange pain started in her chest. She screamed and it went off. That could only mean one thing…
- My aunt is in danger… - She mumbled.
- What is going on? – Denton was still holding her in his arms, but he looked terrified.
- My necklace is enchanted. I did it myself… - She held the black Moon pendant tightly. – Every time my aunt is in danger it tells me… I have to go.
- Well I'm going with you. – Denton quickly disappeared into his hallway and returned wearing his skinny black jeans, white shirt and his leather boots. Anna had enrolled her wings, showing the beauty and the power of it. Black and gold, good and evil all in one. – I love your wings but if your aunt is really in danger whoever is attacking her might be searching for you. So no wings…
- And how are we going to get there fast enough to save her?
- Did you know I have a motorcycle?
