Chapter 7

Sky POV:

A loud screeching sound echoed in my head; as though a TV was being turned on to the loudest volume with static on the screen. He pulled away and left me stumbling forward, completely stunned. My thoughts were everywhere. I blinked at few times, analyzing what just happened, then looked up to see Scott looking right at me. My cheeks immediately flushed and I lowered my head, not wanting to confront him about this. This was stupid. I had gotten lost and confused. That's why this happened. That's all. Denial, you might say… So what? My first kiss was out of anger. Brilliant. That's what every girl wants. Or was it? I mean, it wasn't really anger… It was confusion. Even to that! Confusion isn't a state one wants to find themselves in. It sucks and it's horrible!

"You see… I don't hate you." He said calmly. My head snapped up to look at him incredulous. So many thoughts were trying to form themselves from that simple statement. "The moment I saw you, I knew you were different, but I couldn't put my finger on it."

"So instead you put your lips on it?" I asked sarcastically. He snickered, causing me to lower my gaze, not believing I had just said that. What was wrong with me?!

"Sure. Why not?" He said approaching me. He took my arms in his hands and forced me to look at him.

Everything was playing on the eye contact now. Normally, I would have backed up, making space, but my feet refused to move. One of his hands slid up to caress my fire truck red cheek. (That's what it felt like, alright?) His thumb slowly touched my cheek and then went on to trace my lips. Shivers slithered through my whole body. The annoying screeching sounds started up again. It was growing louder with time. I winced and my arms stiffened. I wanted to react, but his touch had completely paralyzed me. I thought Patch said that I couldn't feel anything. What a lie! He leaned down again and brushed his lips against mine before completely pressing against them. My eyes fluttered closed and my mouth started to move against his. My hands slid up his chest and rested on his shoulders. His large arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer. The world around me seemed to suddenly disappear. I didn't hear anything. I was in a completely different universe. The noise grew so loud, my whole head felt as though it was being pressed down into a tiny little point. Suddenly, the pitch exploded and left everything in complete silence. My body temperature slowly rose to almost an unbearable level.

He pulled back violently, wincing as he looked down at his arms. Large second degree burn patterns covered them. I felt a little breeze on my sides. I looked down and saw that my shirt had been burned where his arms had held me not even a moment ago. Shock overcame me as I realized my body had burnt Scott. His wounds slowly started to heal within the moments following the event.

"You kissed me again." I said not letting my eyes leave his arms.

"And you burned me!" He stated the obvious.

I looked up at him and felt suddenly taken by the urge to hit him upside the head. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR KISSING ME!" I said in a poor attempt to prove my point. His jaw hung open for a minute or two.

"I'll remind you, you kissed me back." He said taking on an offensive stance. My cheeks turned bright red and my skin crawled with annoyance.

I crossed my arms on my chest and turned my head to not face him. I started for the stairs, convincing myself that a good night's sleep is what I needed. It would be the only thing that would help me make sense of all of this.

"So you're just going to run away? You're going to go upstairs and sleep?"

"Yes. I am." I snapped back at him without turning around. The first few steps were painful to take. It was like separating myself from him was almost harmful for me. I couldn't help but let a small moan of pain escaped my lips. A heavy feeling grew within my stomach making it harder and harder to climb the few stairs. "What the Hell?" I muttered under my breath bending over and clutching my belly.

"Sky! Are you alright?" He asked worriedly.

"Get away from me!" I almost yelled. I grabbed onto the railing and sat on the steps, dry heaving. A glass of water was suddenly in my front of me. I took it and chugged it down. The heaviness quickly dissipated and an odd kind of calm took over me.

"Sky… what happened?" I averted my gaze from his and bit my bottom lip.

"Nothing. I'm very confused at the moment!"

"And you don't think I am?"

"I'm not going over this again with you, Scott!" I said trying to avoid any kind of conversation with him.

"I want to go over this. We can't just pretend that this didn't mean anything. You kissed me back!" I got up from the steps and passed by him, going back to the living room. "You can't run from me. We're in the same damn house, for crying out loud!"

"At this point, I'll do as I please!" I retorted.

"Why are you being such a child?!" I turned to face him.

"You drive me insane! You can't even try to understand that I'm going through crap right now! You poor baby!" I said with fake worry. "You got burned… want some water for that?" I asked sarcastically.

"WHY YOU-", he stopped mid-sentence and lunged at me. I dodged his attack skillfully and ran around to the other side of the couch.

Since I had completely forgotten that he wasn't a normal human being, he had caught me within an instant by the waist and had pinned me down on the sofa. He grabbed my arms and held them on either side of my head as he straddled my lap. I squirmed under his weight and then gave up, realizing it was no use. Even though I was an Archangel, I hadn't had the training of one in a long time, so natural laws took over, giving Scott the upper hand. I glared up at him and stayed in completely silence. I suddenly heard the front door open and froze. Patch and Nora must already be back and then they're going to see this and they're going to think the wrong thing!

"Scott?" It was a voice I didn't recognize.

He turned his head to face the door and a ghost like expression replaced the childish one. I tried to get up, but he was still holding me down. This was seriously getting frustrating. I squirmed under him a bit more and he seemed to have understood. He rapidly got off of me and stood up, circling the couch and walking up to the door. I sat up and tried to see who it was. A small menacing voice came from behind his large stature. It was a female voice. It was then my turn to get up to my feet. His shoulders began to sag and he turned to show who it was. A tiny, curvy girl was in front of me.

"Sky… this is Vee…"

"Hi-"

"So you're Sky." She said giving me the once over and shifting her weight from side to side. She pursed her lips and continued looking at me suspiciously.

"You must be Nora's really good friend."

"Yeah. I was supposed to come over and meet her here." She answered me rather harshly. "But she clearly isn't here…"

"She left with Patch a few minutes ago." I said keeping a neutral face. She made a sound resembling one of disgust and then nodded in my direction.

"What are you doing here anyways?"

"I'll-"

"She's going to be living here from now on." Scott filled in for me. Both our gazes, Vee's and mine, went to him.

"What?" Vee asked incredulous.

"I'm having issues at home and Nora offered… Forced me to stay here."

"Uh…" She finished. She brushed passed me and into the living room, looking down at the couch. I had a feeling that I had done something conspicuous, which I had, and was being told off by a parent.

"What's wrong?" I asked approaching her.

"Nothing. It's just… I find it odd that Nora would let a complete stranger into her house without knowing anything about their past… She tends to be a bit skeptical."

"A bit?" Scott snorted. They shared a laugh and then looked at me. I clearly didn't know what their secret words meant.

"Anyways," Vee continued, "Why would she ask you to stay here? Unless you were important to her… or maybe Patch…" She said suggestively. I grimaced at the thought. As much as Patch was most definitely extremely attractive, now that I knew he was my brother, I would never approach him in that way.

"Vee." Scott snapped. Her head turned to face him and a look of utter shock was on her face.

"Scott?" She asked.

"I'll be upstairs… resting. It's been a very long and exhausting day." I said before heading for the stairs and going up. The heavy feeling returned, but I ignored it and continued up the stairs, every step seeming much too long for simple comfort. I got to the room, closed the door behind me and looked around.

It was a tiny little thing with a futon. A large comforter was folded neatly on it with a plushy pillow placed on one end. I walked up to it and sat down, passing my hand along the embroidery of the blanket. I sighed and undid it, pulling it over my body and closing my eyes. Too many events were going through my head. I wanted to get up, go back downstairs and ask Scott about the kiss… well kissES. I turned onto my side, my back to the door. I curled up into a small ball and concentrated on my breathing. The chain necklace around my neck was cool against my skin, but the eerie blue light shone a bit in the darkness. I took it off and looked at it intently. It looked not only familiar because I had worn it most of my life, but because I had seen it on someone else. I had seen it on Patch. Did it have something to do with being an Archangel? I snickered at the mere thought. Now there are sacred objects too? I couldn't think straight. I just wanted to understand.

Why was that so hard?
