Angels Fall Devils Rise

Chapter 2 Dreams

Black sheets were entangled around my body. I ran my fingers threw my red hair. I looked over to my clock. The bright red numbers read 4:00. The alarm soon followed. I sat up untangling the sheets. It played From First To Last newest album 'Heroine.' I grabbed my journal currently on the floor. I fell asleep after finishing my entry; the journal was in my lap.

I wrote down my dream. It's been the same for the past month. A woman with black wings; they were huge about the size of her. Her wings shined every once in a while tinting blue. Her red hair put up. Her bright blue eyes showing a strong, fierce, but gentle and caring person. Light but still tan skin. She wore a long black tatter skirt and a tight deep red shirt. The shirt was ripped across her stomach. A small cut could be seen. Her face had one lone cut under her right eye. A small grin was planted on her lips. A katana was firmly in her left hand. Etched along the blade were Celtic symbols.

I closed my book and turned off my alarm. I slid off my bed and stood up. The bare black walls staring back at me. I shuffled across my floor. I opened my door and went to the kitchen; I grabbed a clear glass from the cupboards. I filled it with cold water. It was too early to have caffeine in my system. I sat down on my couch letting out a soft sigh, I grabbed the clicker and turned and the T.V. I flipped threw the channels going threw 604 of them before finding something.

After about 3 hours of watching music videos Rave, my roommate, came out of her room. Her short pink hair half standing from sleeping on it half not. She grinned at me childishly. "Hey." I grunted. She walked over and sat on my lap. She kissed my cheek. "No work today?" "I have work." She looked over my shoulder to a clock that hung on the wall. "Shouldn't you be getting ready?" I turned my head and glanced back. It read 7:30. I groaned. I had fifty minutes to get ready for work. I needed at least forty minutes to get to work.

"Rave can you get my work clothes?" I called to her as a walked down to the bathroom. "Yeah." She replied. I got to the bathroom pulling off clothes and getting into the shower. I took a five minutes shower. I grabbed a towel and dried off. Rave had placed my clothes on the counter top. I grabbed them and pulled them on. I ran a brush threw my hair pulling it into a ponytail. I grabbed eyeliner and applied it. A necklace rested next to the sink. I picked it up and attached it around my neck. It held a red stone that was surround by silver metal. I stepped out of the bathroom and back into the living room.

Rave held out a bag that held clothes for after work. I toke it and sat down by the door. I pulled on my boots. "Be back by four." She waved her hand shooing me away from her place on the couch. "Don't get yourself killed. And pick up milk were out." I sighed opening the door and walking out of our apartment, down to the elevator.
