Chapter 6

HAROU

"HAAAARROOOOOUUUUUU!" I shot out of bed, and since I was entangled in my bed sheets, I fell face flat on the floor. A certain 'someone' came barging in my room. And yup, it was my sister, Tiffany.

"hi sis, you called?." I grumbled in to the entangled sheets. "yes I freaking called! What is she-" Tiffany pointed to a certain blonde right behind her. "-doing in my bed?" "I thought you said you were going to change from now on-" her kicks were absorbed by the bedsteads and all, but they still hurt. "okay okay! Sheesh, what's the problem?" "you brought a girl into our house, a high school girl- WHEN I WASN'T HERE?" she nearly blew my eardrums she did. But I guess she actually did have a point.

"Oh... Right.." I trailed off, glimpsing Angel's tomato red face. I was guessing she wasn't going to back me up. I sighed. "Tiffany, me and Angel didn't do anything while you weren't here, honestly. I mean, come on, do you seriously believe I'd do something like that when I have an injury like-" I pointed at my head. "this?" "that's exactly why I think so, the doctor said you might experience some serious personality change-" I groaned. I had forgotten how cautious Tiffany was. "Well, I'm NOT going through any 'personality' change and if and only IF I actually did sleep with her, why would she be sleeping on your bed and not mine?" "..." untangling myself, I stood up yawning. "see?" "alright, I just had to make sure, you know?" she sighed a sigh of relief. "yeah I know." "so then... Why IS she here?"

Oops. "er..." I was NOT a good liar. "It's my fault, I fell asleep after I took Harou home, sorry." Angel quickly apologized. "oh! So you took Harou home did you?" Angel nodded. Tiffany seemed somewhat relieved. Angel always had these kind of effects on people- they kind of believed everything Angel told them... I don't know, maybe it's just that I suck at lying and Angel is the opposite, but... "well... Okay then, you can go back to sleep now." Tiffany said, yawning. "... For real?" I looked out the window, and yes. It was still pitch dark. "gee thanks Tiffany, I'm so sleepy right now I can barely stand." I rolled my eyes. She shrugged "well then do whatever you want, and shouldn't you be going home now? You're parents should be pretty worried... It's like one in the morning!" "oh! Er... Yeah, I guess..." Angel sent me a quick 'what do I do now?' look. I sighed. "I'm going to get some fresh air, good night sis" Tiffany raised a brow, but shrugged. "sure."

"so you really don't have anywhere else to go?" I asked carefully, as we sat down on the stairway. Angel shook her head. "well then... Where were you before... You know.. we met." I knew it didn't mean anything but I couldn't help my face reddening. "W-well-" Apparently Angel took it the same way as I did. Angel took a deep breath.

And then began to say stuff that made me want to laugh my head off, or take her straight to a psychologist. "I'm not exactly... Ordinary." she looked up, as if trying to read my reaction. "I-I was born inside a lab, called the School, and I-I'm... 2 percent avian. I actually escaped from that place, and that's when I jumped into you. I can read minds, breathe underwater, and slightly change my form. But other than that, I'm human." she added quickly, not meeting my gaze.

"..." I sat there, motionless. "y-you don't believe me do you?" Angel's face was all red and teary, the exact kind of facial expression I hate most- but hey, when someone tells you that they were made IN A LABORATORY and that their HALF FREAKING BIRD, you kinda want to scream out WTF (and no, not World Trade Federation)- especially when that someone sounds dead serious and is about to cry.

"well..." I trailed off. "I-I do believe you... Well, no I don't. It sounds seriously far fetched, but if you don't want to tell me stuff you don't need to, you don't have to lie or anything-" Angel wiped the tears. And... Smiled? (WTF time again) "so... You don't think I'm a lunatic?" I shook my head. "thanks." she leaned over quietly, and for a moment, I thought she was going to kiss me- but thankfully she just laid her head on my shoulder. "it's all true though." she whispered quietly. "you saw the Erasers- wolf hybrids- that chased us when we first met." my mind reeled back, and I found I actually did remember freaking out about seeing paws and fangs... But at that time I thought it was my imagination, I was pretty scared back then after all.

"..." it was still hard to believe though. Angel sighed, and gently held my hand. Whoa. Red alert! If Tiffany comes out this instant she'd probably kill me on the spot. "here.." she lifted my right hand up, and- and- AND- "whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa-!" I was blushing like crazy, my face felt like it was on fire, but Angel crossed a finger against her lips, smiling at my reaction. "geez, calm down." she continued to guide my hand beneath her t shirt, her skin was soft and smooth as my fingertips traced over her warm back with Angel's fingers leading mine. I gulped really, really hard. "A-Angel-" I stopped. The smooth, fair skin was suddenly gone and I felt something like... "f-feathers-?" Angel nodded. "I'd show you myself, but my wings hurt... A lot, I think it got hurt somehow during my escape." I blinked several times, my hand trailing up and down somewhere along her shoulder blades, along the trail of... Feathers, that seemed to protrude from her back- "H-Harou-!" Angel's breathing was suddenly rough, and I realized she had let go of my hand. "S-sorry!" I squeaked as I quickly wrenched my hand away. Angel was still panting heavily, her face red and sweaty. Oh god did I just... Turn her on? "I-I'm sorry, I really, honestly, truly, did not mean to do that- I was just-" I began to babble like an idiot until Angel finally came around and silenced me.

With her lips.

My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. My arms and legs stopped whatever they were doing and just stayed there as if they were made of stone. I could feel her soft lips on top of mine, she was leaning more and more towards me, but I still didn't know how to react-

"ow!" I groaned as my eyes snapped open. I was suddenly at the bottom of the staircase wit Angel on top of me, her lips still pressed into mine. "sorry." she quickly stood up, her face red. "n-n-n-no problem" I said, maybe a little too fast. "I think I leaned in too hard." Angel giggled, her face still red as a tomato. "h-haha?" I tried to laugh, but all that came out was a nervous grunt. She ruffled her head, long strands of blond hair falling over her face. "sorry, I really don't know what came over me-" "it's okay." "..." "... ..." awkward silence. "so, um... Let's just say that never happened?" Angel suggested nervously. "y-yeah." I agreed. "well um... Do you have anything to do tomorrow- I mean, today?" she asked, looking at her feet. "oh- er, yeah, I'm supposed to do this math project with Andrew." "oh... Right.." Angel looked pretty crestfallen. I felt bad for her, but I really wanted to escape this awkward slash embarrassing moment asap. "yeah... Sorry." "then.. I guess it's goodbye" Wait, good...bye? "well, yeah" I said stupidly. Wait, please just one more minute- I just need to-"thanks for everything Harou." "no problem.. A-Angel." she smiled, albeit in a sad manner. "you know, that's the first time you called me by my name." I blushed- don't ask why, cuz I didn't know myself.

She began to walk away in long, slow strides, and just before she was at the very edge- right before the end of my vision- she stopped and turned around. It was too far for me to see anything else, but i could see that she had raised her arm. And with a final wave of goodbye, the avian hybrid, and my first kiss, Angel Ride walked out of my life.

ANGEL

Oh my gosh. What have I just done- I literally told an ordinary human teenage boy, EVERYTHING about me. EVERY SINGLE THING. Not only that, I'm virtually r-raping this guy! I tried to stop, my cheeks flooded with color, but I kept on pressing forward, grasping his neck, back and everything I could touch of him. Yeah. Rape. That's probably what this was.

But it was bliss.

Was this how Max felt every time Fang kissed her? Well, now I could finally understand why Max would always try to get Fang kiss her- it felt amazing beyond words. His eyes were wide open, nearly to the point of bulging, and I could clearly see he was surprised. But his lips were so soft and gentle, I couldn't help but-

And then we were on the ground, with me on top of him. He groaned. I helped him up, finally realizing what I had done just now. I must be the most evil, lustful 7 year old in the entire globe. I was ashamed of myself- what would Max think? Worse, what would GAZZY think of me? I looked at the stuttering, crimson red adolescent in front of me. I shouldn't get him involved in all this, it wasn't right. And yet- "do you have anything to do tomorrow?" the words just spilled out of my mouth before I could stop them. What on earth was I saying? "oh- er, yeah, I'm supposed to do this math project with Andrew" he fidgeted uncomfortably, staring at me like as if he was looking at me properly for the first time, but I couldn't meet his gaze. I had just gone far enough to spend three, three whole days with a stranger rather than go search for my flock... was I really that shallow? A betrayer? yet I couldn't help but feel sadness at his reply. "oh.. right.." "Yeah... sorry.." he meant them, but I could tell he wanted to get the heck out of here right now. I forced my eyes to meet his. Blue met hazel. For a brief moment, I could see clearly all the confusion, doubt, disbelief and... Shock reflected in his eyes- and I knew... that it was time to say goodbye.

But I didn't feel bad even as I walked away after waving goodbye, I understood how he felt, I was a complete stranger who had just forcefully pressed my lips on his and literally pushed him down the stairs. I took in a big breath, the chilly night air piercing my lungs. It was better for him and me to let things turn out this way... So why were tears silently falling from my eyes?

I continued to walk down the road. Alone, nothing but my empty shadow accompanying me.
