Chapter 9

She had just arrived onto one of the many cliffs when she saw Pit jump. "Pit!" She watched as he fell toward the ominous sea. No! This can't be real! He can't be doing this. No.

There was a sudden burst of pure, white feathers around him. As the feathers disappeared, Silvounous caught sight of angel wings, Pit's wings. What the? Angel wings? Wait a minute... That dream...

Silvounous gasped out of shock as Pit looked up at her with the eyes she had come to love. Then there was a crack. Silvounous realized too late that it came from underneath her.

Silvounous grasped the cliffs newly made edge with both hands. Well isn't this just great I happen to find myself in danger again... Winds roared at her and one hand lost it's grip. The sea below seemed to beckon to her, pleading her to dive down into them, as she held on for her life. Another gust attacked her, causing her to let go of the edge. Goodbye cruel world.

The harsh, salty wind blew her hair into her face as she plummeted too her death. But, instead of feeling the sharp chill of the waves below, she felt the comfortable warmth of a person. There was a sweet scent of lily and the flapping of wings. Pit. He had rescued her once again. What is with him always saving me?

Then she was a top the cliff staring at a winged Pit. "Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why do you keep saving me? Why do you even bother with me?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know what to think anymore Pit. I thought I knew you, but now I'm not so sure."

"Silvounous, I'm sorry."

Silvounous ignored him and trudged on. "I thought that we were together!" she yelled. "I thought we were friends, more than friends!" Then she was crying, tears trekking down her flawless face. Great just great. I'm in love with someone not human... Figures that I get such horrid luck.

Pit's eyes filled with pain and misery. "We are. That's why I need to leave. I love you but... I'm an Icarus and you're human. I wasn't supposed to meet you in the first place."

"So you're an Icarus, and your not supposed to be here on earth."

Pit nodded. "Yes."

"Then why are you here? Why did you lead me on like that? Why did you act as if you were human?"

"I was in a fight with some suracais, and I couldn't remember anything when I met you. And, somehow, you triggered my memories."

"So you used me to get your memories back?!"

"No Silvounous, I never used you, I never would have."

Silvounous knew Pit was telling the truth. "Why are Icarus supposed to not be on earth?"

"We're allowed on earth, we're just not supposed to fall in love with humans, Palutena said that Icarus and humans do not mix, she's the leader of the Icarus."

"But your not in love with a human, are you?"

Pit gave her a look that told her otherwise.

"Your in love with a human."

Pit nodded. "Yes."

Silvounous stood stunned. I love him. And he loves me... But... He can't stay. He's different from me. He's an Icarus, and me... I'm human. We're from two different worlds. And what if he ends up dying cause of me too... She felt even worse knowing that information. "Your in love with me", she said out loud.
