While I was walking through the castle I saw more werecreatures every where and as walked it seemed like they were all staring at me. I'm going to kill Melinda if she's the reason this is happening to me. I thought. I frowned as I came to the stairs. "Julian did say it was on the third floor right." I said. "If your looking for the kitchen the third floor is the place to go for all of your cooking needs." Someone told me. I turned around to see a pale man standing behind me. His eyes were a deep violet color and his long canines were on display. He had long brown hair now that I think about it he kind of looked like a male Melinda. I wonder if she has a brother. I thought. He held out one hand for me to shake, his nails were slightly curved claws. "My name is Drake and I'm a werelion." He told me as I shook his hand. "I'm Willow and I'm an angel." I told him. Both me and Drake began to go down the stairs with him leading me. "So your the angel every one is so curious about. I'm sorry about my sister Melinda she's really crazy when it comes to her research." Drake told me. As we reached the second floor Drake leaned over and sniffed me. "You smell odd...kind of like candy, or something else really sweet." Drake told me frowning. I looked down at the floor. "That's the second time I've been told I smell like cinnamon or something." I mumbled. Drake laughed at me. "Where are your wings Willow?" He asked when he finished laughing. "I had to retract them back into my body so I could put on this shirt." I told him. "I bet my sister made mental notes of every thing you just told said." He said smiling. I frowned as we reached the kitchen after what seemed like a very long walk, Melinda was surround by other werecreatures. They were asking her questions which she happily answered. Melinda looked up and saw then saw Drake and she grinned. "Willow come here." She said waving me over. I walked over and smiled. "What is it?" I asked. "You glow right?" She whispered. I nodded. "Can you please explain how it works." Melinda pleaded. "Well at first my body gets hot but the heat doesn't burn, then my skin begins to glow a golden or neon blue color. Very soon after that I'm able to shoot the light out of hands light a gun or something. But it's hard to power up my heavenly light now that I've been exiled." I told her frowning. Melinda's eyes looked at me in awe. I watched as the werecreatures suddenly began to leave. I walked over to the fridge and opened it. The inside was packed and filled to the brim with food. "Willow you...know how to cook?" Drake asked me. I nodded as I reached into the fridge and grabbed a carton of eggs. "Sometimes after I finished doing a deal I used to sleep in one of the safe houses I had. I learned to cook from watching TV and at times watching humans when I took walks through the city." I told him as I set the eggs on the counter. I grabbed the a skillet and some cooking oil. Then I began cooking. Melinda was staring at me like watching me cook was something really amazing. Honestly her staring was creepy. When I sat down to eat she was still staring. "Willow how did you become an angel?" She suddenly asked. I choked on my food at the sudden question. "Melinda!" Drake snapped. Melinda shrugged. "What I'm curious." Drake sighed. "Ya, I know your curious but at times your curiosity has to reach a certain limit." He muttered. I swallowed my food. "It's okay I don't mind." I told Drake smiling. He sighed, then shrugged. I turned to Melinda. "Honestly, I don't remember how I actually became an angel. One day I woke up in a cocoon filled with liquid that I could breath through. I started hearing voices so I swam over and began digging into the cocoon. After I dug into the wall about five or six times the cocoon cracked open then burst and water went every where. Outside the cocoon there were three angels who helped me get up and pull myself together. Gabriel one of the angel counsel members was there to help me he was actually very nice." I told Melinda smiling at her. She began bouncing up and down in her chair. "What does Gabriel look like?" She asked. I frowned. "He has a human form which he uses when and if he leaves heaven. But his true form is something like a Chimera it looks beautiful and grotesque at the same time." Melinda's eyes widen. "How does his true form look?" She asked grinning. Drake chuckled. I closed my eyes for a moment before I answered. "In his true form, he has a large dragon like body with six heads on it. Three goat heads and three lion heads. His tail is a snake with black scales like the rest of his dragon body. The scales are smooth as water but if you look closely at his tail you'll see that the snake has neon red eyes. The manes of the lion heads are always soft to the touch and perfectly groomed and cleaned. The heads that have the goat faces have sharpened horns." I said trying to help Melinda form a picture in her head. "Wow." She whispered. "Angel Food that's an interesting story may I listen?" I jumped about a foot in the air, if my wings would have been out I probably would have either hit the ceiling or gone through it. Julian stood right behind me. I whipped around to look at him. "H-how did you get there?" I asked staring at him. "I ran down here to check on you Angel Food." He told me then leaned forward. "Plus I want to hear a few of your wonderful stories." I felt my face turn red. I nudged Julian a bit. "Um... could you step back your a little too close?" Julian smirked. "You don't usually mind me being this close." He reminded me. "In fact were usually a lot closer than this." Julian whispered. I heard a soft growl and instantly I thought it was Melinda. But it wasn't her it was Drake who was growling at Julian for some reason.
