Chapter 2

Elliot's POV:

It had been four days since Mina had arrived on earth and since she had blacked out from shock.

Pip, that annoying little plush woke up yesterday and when he found out what happened, blew a gasket and I swear to god, had a heart attack.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone was at my door…again; somebody was always coming by. I understand, they're all worried, so am I. I don't really know why; I don't even know the girl, but there's something about her.

Out of everybody who stopped by, Wesley, Zoey and Bridget stopped by the most; with the exception of Pip; he was always there and he never left…well unless there was pastries involved. I suppose I understand his reasoning, well except the pastries; that I don't understand. But I was right, he did get fat.

"Yes? The condition is still the same; she's still asleep and she still has a fever." I said to the person at the door, who happened to be Zoey.

"I kind figured as much, but there's somebody at the front doors. I told him we were closed, but then he asked for you…and Mina and Pip." Zoey said simply.

"He asked for me, Mina and the boy? By name? Did he say who he was or what he wanted? What does he look like? And what does he want with me and the boy? And most importantly what does he want with Mina" Pip asked question after question shocked.

"Relax and let her talk? But what he said." I said looking at Zoey.

"He said each of your names by name, yes. He didn't say his name, but he was a delivery guy from the place you and Mina are from. He's even got the same mark that Mina has on her chest on his clipboard. He has long black hair and green eyes. He's pretty tall. And technically speaking he just asked if Elliot and Wesley lived here and who own the place, and if this would be where Mina would be staying. Then he asked if either Mina or Pip were available." Zoey explained.

"That sounds like Adrian…what does want?" Pip asked and I noticed a hint of anger or annoyance or both. What do I care?

"I guess we should go see what he wants." I said carelessly.

"I guess…" Pip mumbled, sulking.

As we made our way downstairs and sure enough there was a tall guy with long black hair and green eyes sitting at one of the tables.

"May we help you?" I asked as we got to the tables.

"I hope so. Pip, so good to see you again. I'm sorry that you lost your job, well I should say your job as supreme guardian; you still have the job of protecting the girl. Speaking of which, is she staying here? Where is she?" The guy asked rather rudely. That's what I got out of him anyways, rude.

"Adrian. She's sleeping and yes, this is where we'll be staying. And yes, I'm still her guardian. What are you doing here? Come to apologize for your slut of a daughter? I mean, she is the reason Minantanna and I are here in the first place." Pip shot out annoyed.

"My daughter, the slut? Ha, I highly doubt it. Minantanna is the slut; she's the one who sleeps around, just like her mother. My Ariel is pure innocence. I'm just here to drop off the slut's things." Adrian said rather annoyingly. It, for some reason really pissed me off.

"Do you want to see the video footage I have. And you know it can't be altered. The only one who can alter it is the ruler of the academy. I have to footage with me. Here, look. As you can see the girl sleeping with every person with a penis is not Minantanna, but Ariel." Pip said as a video feed showed up on the wall of some girl, who really wasn't Mina, fucking many random different guys.

After that Adrian had tears in his eyes. I think they were tears of rage and fury; he didn't say anything except for me and Pip to sign some papers so that Mina could have her things. Then all of the sudden I heard a voice come from a crate looking thing.

"Are we finally here? Get us out of this awful thing!" I heard a female voice yell.

"No, I think you can stay in there; it suits you just fine." Pip said to the mystery voice.

"Pip, is that you? … When I get out of here I'm going to kill you! You're supposed to make sure Mina is ok and safe! Not get her condemned to earth! Not that there's anything wrong with earth; in fact I love earth. I was born on earth after all. The only reason I wouldn't kill you is because I believe this is where she should be, on earth, not up there. But as far as I know she likes it up there. Now get m out of here!" The voice, which sounded like an older voice yelled out.

"You can just take that back up to the academy. We don't need that here." Pip said annoyed, but it sounded kind of like he was joking. But what do I know?

"Sorry Pip. All of this stuff is non-returnable. Oh good, Mina. I need a signature from you." Adrian said looking past all of us.

"Haha, nice try Adrian; Mina's asleep." Pip said annoyed.

"Then who's that?" Adrian asked pointing behind us.

"Nice try; I'm not falling for that again." Pip said not falling for anything this guy might have up his sleeve.

"Let me out of this damn contraption!" The older voice yelled again.

"Chloe, is that you?" A soft voice, belonging to Mina, asked from behind us.

"Mina, yes it's me. The others are in here as well. Can you please let us out of here. That asshole won't let us out and neither will Mr. Adrian." The older voice, Chloe said annoyed. I'm guessing the asshole is Pip.

"You can let her and the others out after you sign the papers saying that you received all of your stuff. Do you understand all that or do I need to explain it slower?" Adrian asked very rudely and he didn't even try to hide it.

"You don't have to treat her like she's stupid; she's clearly not. She got higher grades on everything except for math than your precious daughter. Come to think about it, your daughter failed every single class." Pip said annoyed.

"Will you shut the fuck up? Just sign the papers so I get home and away from you." Adrian asked harshly causing some tears to fall from Mina's eyes.

Needless to say, I snapped. "Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? You don't need to snap at her. What did she ever do to you? According to the video your daughter is the one sleeping around not Mina. I believe that everything that went wrong for Mina is because of your daughter. Give me that." I exclaimed snatching the clipboard and read it to make sure there was no trickery going on; it all looked legit. So I gave it to Mina and she signed. Instead of handing it back to him I threw it him.

"Get off my property. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out and have a nice day." I said as I gave him the signed stuff.

As he was leaving I heard him mutter something under his breath.

"What was that?" I asked annoyed.

"Nothing. Have a nice day." Adrian said as he was about to leave.

"No, tell me. What did you say?" I asked again, more demanding this time.

"Elliot, don't. Just let it go." I heard Wesley say, pleading.

"I said you're just like your parents. Stupid and ignorant, all of you. For humans, who are supposed to be smart, you sure are stupid. I mean come on your parents went and got themselves blown up." Adrian said, which sent me flying in a fit of rage; all I saw was red.

"Why you son of a bitch!" I yelled and I punched him square in the face. Before I could hit him again he disappeared and crap ton of stuff suddenly appeared. Not to mention after disappeared Wesley had grabbed a hold of me and was holding me back and then I heard Mina's soft voice call out.

"Master…I'm sorry for what he said about your family, and that's wrong, but it's ok what he said about me. I'm used to it; I hear it all the time, people in the halls at school. Teachers and students and other parents and other random people; they all talk about the poor little orphan girl with the pendant that she shouldn't have. I hear it all the time; I'm used to it and it's ok." Mina spoke softly.

"But it's not ok. You may be used to it, but it's not ok; it's never ok. And I'm sorry you're used to it, but you shouldn't be used to it. Anyways, you're here now and you won't be treated like that. Wait a minute…what did you call me earlier?" I asked wondering if I heard her right.

"Master." Was all Mina said softly.

"That's what I thought. Why did you call me that? My name is Elliot, you can call me that." I told her calmly.

"But, you're master; that's what I'm supposed to call you. Can I let Chloe and the others out?" Mina explained and then asked softly.

Everybody was shocked and confused except for Sardon, Dren and Tarb; I could read it on all of their faces.

"But…" I started but was cut off by Sardon.

"Elliot, don't. I think it has something to do with their rules. She fell from the sky and you caught her. That's what you said a few days ago, correct?" Sardon asked.

"Yes, that's correct. But what does that have to do anything?" I asked.

"Did you physically touch her skin? And did she have wings?" Sardon asked.

"Yes, I had touched her arms; that is how I caught her. And yes, she had wings, but only momentarily. Now what does that have to do with anything?" I asked again, this time annoyed.

"Her skin, it has or rather had something on it, like all beings up in the academy. When one-in this case Mina-falls to earth and is caught by a human-in this case you-catches one and touches their skin while their wings are out they lose all of their inabilities to be free. And to whoever catches them will gain all of the angel's or being's power. No the angel or being will not lose their powers themselves, but they will, after a day, will start calling the person who caught them and touched their skin while their wings were out, master. That's what all that has to do with it." Sardon explained.

"So master, can I let Chloe and the others out?" Mina asked again.

"Are they evil or going to hurt any of us?" I asked.

"No master. They're just cats." Mina said softly.

"Oh, cats. Pip made them seem horrible. Yeah, you can let them out." I said simply as she bowed and walked past me to let her cats out.

"Is there any way to stop that?" I asked.

"Maybe, I don't know. I suppose if you work with her on it." Sardon said simply before heading out.

Well there you go
