Chapter 2

Tea's POV

Dreams are something I need to get used to. Thamuz once told me that anyone living here, angel or demon, would automatically gain human feelings. It was all under a treaty signed by God himself.

I don't know how human feelings have anything to do with dreams, but if it has anything to do with having a dream about the hottest guy you feel in love with at first sight, than thank God for dreams.

I can't stop thinking about him; I can't stop thinking about Atem. Ever since I got home, I held his handkerchief close to my heart. Even now, and it's almost noon…

"Are you up yet?"

I could have sworn I heard my older brother talking to me.

"Get up, or we'll go back to Hell."

I hate it when he threatens me with that! "I'm up, I'm up!! Just stop saying that, you know I don't want to go back to Hell."

My room is pretty small, so I really don't have that many things to keep me company during the day. A small white desk, with a matching mirror, a closet filled with very little clothing and a small book self over my bed. The only book on the self is the first volume of Wallflower.

"Tea, I need to go to work soon. I need someone to take care of the apartment while I'm gone, again…" He supposedly has a job at the some museum.

"I know." Lazily, I pushed my bed covers. My brother helped me get up. From my closet, he took out a blue tee and a jean skirt. Ever since we moved here, he acts like a mother, always pampering her child.

Then again, he always acted like a mother. I never grew up with one. For some unknown reason, my father left us like about fifty years ago. It was a pretty hard time for me. That was around the time those lousy "pure" demons started to pick on me. Without a father, or even a mother, to help with comfort, Thamuz promised that he will protect and take care of me.

Like both a father and a mother would…

"I don't need to change clo-when did you get that outfit?" I didn't even know I owned a skirt.

"I did some shopping for you yesterday, though I didn't buy this outfit for you. Someone else did." He shook his head as if he was trying to get rid of bad thoughts.

"Who?" I need to know. Who would spend money on me? I haven't been here that long.

Thamuz stepped out of the room to let me change. I really didn't want to change. As I put on the skirt, I thought about Atem. What would he think of me if he saw me in a skirt that almost shows my underwear?

And who the hell would buy this skirt for me?

"I SAID NO!!!" Thamuz's scream was so loud, it almost shook my entire room. Thank goodness that the neighbors were working at this hour.

"How dare you talk to me that way! Wait until I tell your father!"

I did not just hear that voice.

With caution, and a little bit of happiness, I opened my door…

"Anzu!!!" A tall, gorgeous woman jumped on me. I hate it when she does that. "Look at you! And with the new outfit that I just bought for you! I knew blue suited you, it matches well with those sapphires in that skull of yours."

Nicor may be your average brunette, but she has those light pink eyes that may seem innocent, but it will surely drown you.

"Get…..out…" My brother was doing all he could to control his anger. I never really understood his relationship with Nicor. One minute they would be all lovey-dovey and the next Thamuz would go all evil towards her.

"I can't see my own sister-in-law?" Nicor isn't really married to him; let's just say she thinks she is.

"What if someone comes and realizes we're here? I can't risk it Nicky." With nothing to hold in his hands to control that anger, he began to fiddle with his tie and his long, dark brown hair. "I have to go to work anyway-and no! I don't want you to be here with Tea all afternoon."

"Tea?" She looked at me as if I were a stranger.

"I'm using the name 'Tea' to help me hide my identity." I said proudly. One of my first decisions in this world was to come up with a new name. It made me realize that I'm actually starting my life over, kinda.

"Oh, Tea…..I still think you should have stick with your old name. What if we're outside and I accidentally call you by 'Anzu?'" Thamuz gave her a look.

I doubt a demon from hell would coincidently be near us when Nicor uses my real name. But from Thamuz's look, there might be a slight chance.

"Who says she's going outside?" Uh-oh.

"I believe Tea can make her own decisions. She doesn't want to be stuck here all day long, Tommy."

"Nicky, I'm doing this for her own good."

I secretly went back to my room, got a purse from my closet-If Nicor really is buying me all this stuff, does that mean I owe her?-and stuffed it with stuff from my drawer.

I didn't know what I was doing, but Nicor was right. I can't just stay here all day long. What if I was to stay in the apartment for a hundred years? It would be worse than being in Hell and watching over Hitler. The point of me being here in the human world would be long gone.

I have to go outside. I don't know why, but something tells me I have to go outside.

Now, to see if I can get out of here without big brother noticing….

Atem's POV

"Open the door Atem, or I'll use my search warrant to get in!"

Why does he have that warrant anyway?

My good friends from Chicago, as always, entered my apartment, without my permission. Again.

"Ey, you gotta stop doing that to Atem. One day, he will sue you." Good old Oscar brings a valid point. As always.

"Then again, he might not do anything." Then there's Anis….always being the wise-guy…ish.

"Good afternoon, Atem. Why in the world are you in here? Do you know what today is?" asked Ray.

"Seriously Atem, you shouldn't forget things like this. It will disappoint the kids!"

"Oscar, don't you mean this will disappoint you, you ice cream freak…" said Anis.

Today is the "I Love God and Ice Cream Social," at a church. Oscar is a member of that church and group organizer. He made us help him.

From afar, these men may look like ordinary humans, but they are not. All three of them are angels.

Mihael, or Ray, is the angel of Loyalty. Sometimes I wonder why though…

He's a Chicago police officer, and he enjoys it. Then again, who doesn't enjoy carrying around a gun anyway?

"Can't we hurry up? I have to assist with a surgery in two hours." Anis, or Izra'il, is a surgical oncologist. For some reason, he keeps reminding us about it.

"Ay, ya callate!" Oscar, or Elijah, tends to speak before he thinks. Not that there is anything wrong with these guys. I owe them a lot.

Without them, I would have been stuck in heaven doing…crap I'm sick of doing. I needed to get out, I just had to! "All right, I'm ready anyway. Let's go eat ice cream!"

I owe them everything.

Tea's POV

I never knew the sun would be this bright. It almost stings my eyes. I've been outside for a full fifteen minutes, and I don't think big brother even noticed. Those fights with Nicor always take about an hour. So I have to make the best of what I got out here. I actually want to have some fun in Chicago!

Maybe it would have been nice if I saw what I looked like when I left the apartment. People kept staring at me. Guys would whistle, girls would whisper to one another. Do I look that bad?

Walking around the streets wasn't such a good idea after all. I didn't know where I was going. I let my feet do all the work, I just watched. Never realized Chicago would be so…big. How do people find their way around here? Do they all go the same path, or a different one?

As I turned around a random corner for the fourth time, I heard something. It was different from the streets. It sounded like more people, way more people. And laughter. What's going on over there?

Atem's POV

"Oscar I need help over here!" There is one big down side to all of this: Oscar is playing with the children. He goes off, having the time of his life, while we're here busting our asses with loading the ice cream to the many stands outside the church.

"You need help?" Thank you God for sending Adrian! "Honestly, what kind of man is that fat guy?" He's only ten years old, yet he thinks like a seventeen year old. "After all, he is some fat guy with a patch of black hair on that big head of his."

"This is coming from his little brother?"

"Atem, he wouldn't be my big brother if I didn't sign up for that big brother program. Sometimes I regret those types of things. Anyway, I think you need the help." With a little push, we both let a big tub of ice cream land on a table.

"Do you need help with anything else?"

"No, I think that's it. Why don't you go play with the other kids. I'm going to begin serving ice cream in a little while." Adrian gave me a look.

"Or I stay here and help you serve ice cream?" I sigh. I hate it when he doesn't want to play with the other children like a good little boy.

Tea's POV

Wow!

Look at all of that. It must be some type of festival...

My mouth dropped when I noticed the church...It was so...beautiful...and loathsome...at the same time...

That always happens. I noticed something angelic and my body fights to say it's either ugly or gorgeous. It does suck to be a hybrid.

I walked to a near by bench, across the street from the church, and sat down. There's a lot of people here. Well, mostly little kids.

"Oh hello."

A little black boy walked up to me, "Are you here for the ice cream?"

Ice cream? What's that? I didn't want to ask the boy what ice cream was, so I just kept silent.

"Heeelllllooooo?"

"Adrian!" That voice.....it can't be...

"Hey Atem! Over here!" The boy, or I think Adrian, ran to him...it is him. I immediately stood up and smooth out my clothes and hair.

"Adrian, I told you, my car is behind the church...Tea?" Yay, he remembers my name!

Atem's POV

It is her...Tea Masaki...but how? "I just noticed this young lady sitting all by herself. So I asked if she wanted some ice cream." Adrian then whispered, "She looks hot, doesn't she?" Why you little....

"Um...hi Atem..." She said shyly. Adrian looked at both of us and grinned.

"I'll just leave you two alllooonnneee." He ran off laughing. Note to self: tattle to Oscar later.

I walked to her...I don't know what was happening to me...I was getting so nervous for every step I take. The more I'm closer to her...the more...hotter I get. "Good afternoon, Tea."

"Hey...do you know that little kid?"

I sighed. "Unfortunately, I do." She let out a small giggle and smiled. My God...that smile of hers. "So what brings you here?"

Tea stopped smiling and thought for a bit. "...Fresh air?..."

Atem's POV

Crap...Why am I so nervous?...

Than again, he is so good looking.

"Why don't we sit down." He motioned me to sit next to me. Atem was pretty shaky when he sat down. He must be as nervous as I am.

We didn't speak for quite some time. It felt like eternity...or worse...Every once in a while, I took a small look at him. He is so handsome, his side view is just to die for...

No! Don't think that way Tea! You just met this guy who looks so hot with his tanned skin being beautifully reflected by the sun.

It's like he's some type of angel...

"Would you like ice cream?"

Thanks to him, my perverted thoughts were interrupted. I think that's a good thing...

I still have no idea what ice cream is....oh what the hell. "Sure!"

"Okay I'll get us some." He stopped walking when he asked, "I almost forgot, what flavor?" Flavor?...Oh crap, there's flavor to this ice cream. I pondered for a bit...now what. Now I seemed to remember this one time when I was watching something on the thing that Thamuz called a "T.V." Something called..

"Vanilla, I think I'll have some vanilla ice cream."

Atem gave me that handsome smile and said, "That's my favorite too. I'll be right back with our ice cream!" And he ran...

Thank you Television. You actually help someone on something. I stood up and stretched. Sitting down made my body ached. I smelled the fresh air and stretched my arms to the sky.

Sometimes I wondered if God was watching me. Watching a hybrid being happy and living in the human world. Watching someone who was looking after someone who killed so many people. Watching someone who was picked on for many decades...

Watching a child who's mother is a heavenly angel...

"YOU STUPID BITCH!!!" I looked down a street and saw a blacked coated man running towards me. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED HIM!!!" I recognize that voice. It was that guy from last night.

What's even worse is the aura around him. He was a demon. He's from hell.

Atem's POV

I heard screaming from across the road. That voice, it was the one from last night. I dropped the ice cream and ran to make sure.

And sure enough, it was. Though it was only one of the two guys. I wonder where the other guy is...

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU FREAKIN BITCH!" That guy was running toward Tea. I started to run, when I stopped.

A big cargo truck came out of nowhere.

Tea's POV

The tuck ran into that demon.....

I don't know how there was blood everywhere and little children screaming.....I don't know how that demon died like a helpless human...yet I couldn't do anything. I felt helpless....

...helpless at death....

"C'mon Tea! We have to go!" Nicor came from behind me and pulled me away.

That's when I felt a sudden chill. A chill that could bring death anywhere.

I turned back to see the church, and on the top of one of the pillars, that's where I saw him....the Prince....

The traitor of all angels...

The Prince of the damned...

Lucifer...

Yuna: This Lucifer is different from Legend of the Twin Eclipse. He's actually mean and deadly. And not dead. ^^
