Hey! R&R! I really hope that Luce and Daniel stay together because I seriously had no idea that Roland was going to get with Luce (Well you know)..I had no idea what was going on while I was writing, lol. Ok so Yeahh, enjoy!
Soon the Outcasts' numbers had diminished until there were only two left, and they were fighting fiercely. I had scooped up a quill of one of the fallen Outcast's arrows and I had one notched and pointed at the girl Outcast whose unseeing pale eyes were creeping me out.
Patch and Arriane backed off, Cam at my side as we mused over what we should do with the remaining Outcasts.
Cam stepped forward calmly although his eyes were narrowed in disgust, "Why did you want to kill Roland?"
The girl Outcast's voice was a monotone and her unseeing eyes didn't look directly at Cam, "The Fallen Angel, Roland, was hurting Lucinda Price".
I was about to make a snide retort when a brief image of Luce and Roland's lips meeting as they were flying flashed across my vision. A snarl escaped my throat as I let my arrow fly and plunge into the Outcast's heart, her form crumbling and resolving to dust.
The boy Outcast laughed harshly as he dropped his bow, knowing the end was coming, "Daniel Grigori, such a shame that Lucinda Price has made off with Roland Sparks. Hopefully he can protect her better than you did"
I snarled and pushed off of my feet, my wings beating quickly as I careened forward in a head dive and plunged the arrow into the Outcast's head, my violet eyes blazing wildly with rage as I landed next to the pile of dust the Outcast had become.
Arriane walked up to me slowly, reaching forward to place a hand on my shoulder but deciding better of it and letting it drop to her side.
"We have to find Luce" she said softly.
Patch followed Arriane and he stood next to me "Come on man, let's go", Patch's black hair shaded his obsidian eyes.
I pushed away from them both, "You three get Luce and take her back to Shoreline, I need to find Roland".
I walked away stiffly, my eyes blazing and my hands clenched into fists at my sides as I took off into the night, plotting my encounter with my former best friend.
****************/***********************************************
Unluckily, Arriane and Patch had made sure that Roland and Luce were together so I wouldn't beat the crap out of Roland.
I landed on the ground, my knees bent and my head down, my wings still beating. I felt Luce's touch before I lifted my head. Her slim hand touched one of my wings and I relaxed immediately. I lifted my head to see her wandering gaze as she watched me with awe.
I stood up and looked at her, trying to see if anything had gone on between her and Roland but all I could see in her eyes was passion for me.
I couldn't ignore her anymore and I pulled her to me in a hug, Luce had seen my blazing eyes when I had watched her take off with Roland so she knew better than to ask about the Outcasts.
Luce tipped her face up to kiss my jaw softly.
"Didn't you say we were going to have a special night?" Luce asked softly, her eyes begging.
I wanted so badly to take her in my arms and fly off into the night away from everything that was going on.
"Luce, I have to go find the rest of the Outcasts. I will make it up to you" I forced out of my lips, the words sounding foreign to me.
Luce's chin wobbled and tears threatened to spill but she wouldn't show weakness, she pushed them away angrily.
"No, don't make it up to me", She pushed away from me and walked away, standing next to Cam and Roland.
Patch watched me cautiously, Noelle and Callie on either side of him. Arriane came up behind me and she touched my hand softly.
"Patch, take Noelle and Callie to Luce's, they'll be safe there. Cam, stay and watch the house with Patch, Arriane, come with me." I didn't address Roland, passing him over completely.
I unfurled my wings and they beat with Arriane's as we took off into the night, my hand brushing hers and curling around it once before I let go and we soared higher into the sky, trying to shake the picture of Luce's agony-stricken face.
******************/********************************************
Arriane and I were perched on the top of a small mountain that many mortals climbed, except it was midnight. Arriane's hand wavered toward mine every once in awhile as I sat, staring ahead of me.
"Roland wouldn't take Luce from you" she whispered.
My eyes narrowed icily, "You don't know that"
I felt slightly guilty since Roland had been her date but he kept that to himself as they continued their conversation.
"You're right, I don't. But if you really loved Luce you would trust her enough to let her go off with your best friend no matter how much you think he will disobey you because chances are Roland slips up, a lot, but trust is everything and if you don't have trust…"
I broke her off as I leaned over and placed my lips over hers but pulled back after a few long lasting seconds, horrified at what I had done. Arriane's expression was horrified also. We both knew what would happen.
Luce would find and Announcer. And she would see the kiss.
Muwhahahhahahah! Hope ya'll enjoyed it and keep R&R!
