(A/N: I'm sorry for the lack in my writing. I've been extremely busy. I can't even seem to remember where I had been going with this story. I'll figure it out… eventually. Till then enjoy this chapter because I'm pretty sure this is the way I had been going.)

Song O' the Night

I circled the skies

Letting the wind take

The tears I cried

O' The Night

Let my forgotten dreams

Take flight!

The cold rain hit my wings like a million pricks of a needle. I enjoyed the pain it let me know I was still alive and still awake. Some nights I woke crying tears that long since passed and dried up. No matter how many tears you cried, it cannot bring someone back to life. Trust me I know. Gabe brought me back to life after Leo died.

I thought I lost Leo before it was the time he proposed to me. I never knew it hurts the worst when you lose them for real and forever. In this twisted world I live in there is a rank in which my kind lives. The first rank, which in unknown to mankind, are the Immortals. The Immortals are like fallen angels. Extremely beautiful with no imperfections, the live forever in the bodies just like humans. You can't tell the difference between an Immortal and a human. There is one difference and that is the lack of a pulse in the Immortals. They feel pain, they bleed, and they die. They just have a stronger defense to diseases and faster healing skills. Their heart beats just too fast for any to detect the pulse and to hear it. These Immortals have a choice to become the second rank in my world.

Which is the Ancient Bone-Fiend; we're not the oldest beings in the world… well not all of us. We are the red eyed monsters of the skies with our large fold out arm wings. Our gray skin is one of our… um elegant features. We are rare in kind, not many Immortals take the path we chose. We were pushed by unseen events, such as death.

The third rank, I hope you'll never meet. More monster then anything. I've only met one of them. They have no name for their own kind. Their wings are larger than any Ancients; their faces are deformed with large jaws and canine teeth. Their eyes are a garnet red with slitted pupils. They have a large tail with an arrow tip and claws for hands and feet. A true demon of a human's nightmare. These slobbering beasts have no thoughts but only to eat and live. This one beast I met shortly met his demise.

"Conus! Watch out!" I turned my head to see who called my name to be met in the face with a giant clawed hand. I went flying backwards. My back collided with the wall of the cave. I felt the warm blood welling from four long cuts in my face. I scrambled to my feet but only to be met by a blow to my side. I went sailing through the air. I hit the hard ground and skidded to a halt outside of the cave. The rain poured down upon me. I tried to sit up but I was too weak to move.

I heard shuffling inside the cave. Gabe was taking on the beast that attacked me. I knew he couldn't do it alone. I forced myself to stand; ignoring the pain of what must have been broken ribs. I felt the blood being pushed from the wounds by the rain and down my face. Gabe had told me I was weak. I agree with him. During this point of my life it was a few weeks after I lost Leo. I was an Immortal, no wings for me. I was a mockery of a stronger human.

I felt my legs shake and then they gave out from under me. I sat in the rain feeling weak, alone, and lost. While inside the cave Gabe let out a yell of agony as the beast ripped into his wing. Gabe was cornered and his only hope was with a pathetic human look alike. His dead brother's love and wife.

I opened my eyes and stood up on shaky legs. Fuck this! I would not let this monster win. He was pretty ugly but not as cruel as I was. I ran into the cave and grabbed Gabe's fallen sword. The monsters back was to me. I raised the sword above my head and brought it down on the monsters tail. The sword cut through the tail as if it was nothing but air. The beast let out a shriek of pain. His grip loosened so that Gabe could get free. Gabe slid to the ground in a semiconscious state.

What I wasn't expecting was for the beast to turn towards me. His red garnet eyes glared at me from beneath is dark brows. He lunged at me, his wings folded against his arms and his claws reached for me. I turned and made a dash for the exit. I heard the beast's heavy footsteps pounding after me and his angry growls. I kept running I forced my feet to move. No matter how much my sides hurt. The rain burned my eyes and caused me to slip and slide. I slid right and my legs gave out. It was a small hill that I slid on… did I mention it led to the edge of a cliff? I dug my fingers into the grass and mud. Not far behind me was the beast. He dug his claws into the mud; it was no use his huge bulky body slid into me. I was pushed over the edge; I reached and grabbed one of the beast's wings. He turned his head towards me and roared and swiped at me with his claws. I pulled at a rock and it came loose, so much for using it as leverage to pull myself up onto the ground. I was about to discard the rock when I realized how sharp and jagged it was. A perfect weapon I reached my arm up and stabbed the rock right through the monsters wing and dragged it down and across one of the bones in the wing. The beast roared and released his grip on the ground and we both fell backwards plummeting off the cliff.

I realized as we fell that neither of us would live. My hair fluttered in my face, I listened to the beast screaming in agony as he tried to flap his wings but the wing I had stabbed was useless. I must have hit a muscle or a nerve. I closed my eyes and let the air slip between my fingers. I stretched my arms out and heard a loud rip. I opened my eyes to see my skin on my arm slitted from my wrist to somewhere under my shirt on my side. I hissed in pain and from the open wound. Ivory bone exploded from my flesh along with a joint. The jointed folded out creating a longer extension of bone for my arm. From the flesh came blood which poured from the wounds covering the bone with so much blood. From the blood grew muscles and nerves. I gagged at the painful gory sight. From the skin came flesh which stretched and covered the bone, muscle, and nerves. The one wing started to slow my fall. I saw the ground approaching fast. I felt my other arm burn with the same feeling. Hurry up! I wanted my second wing to grow fast because the ground was almost upon me.

We hit the ground at the same time the beast landed on his back… dead. I landed on my feet but soon collapsed on my knees, my hands on the ground and wings flared out and up. I tried to breath. I felt so dizzy I leaned forward and lay on my stomach. Sprawling out my wings, I closed my eyes and lay still letting the cold rain cool my heated flesh.

"Conus! Oh God! Conus! No!" The voice sounded so familiar… Leo? Leo's voice got closer and I heard his feet hitting the ground. He knelt beside me, I felt so at peace. He grabbed my hand and pressed it against the side of his face.

"Oh God Conus!" Leo exclaimed. I opened my eyes slowly and turned my head towards him.

"Leo?" I asked and then I blinked my eyes to see the large wings upon his arms. "Gabe!"

"The one and only." He replied with a smile. I saw the tears in his eyes. "You live, I thought you had certainly died." He smiled. "You have wings."

"So strange Gabe that you worry about me. I had hoped I would have died. You do remember I am your brother's wife. So don't you think about touching me." I pulled my hand back and pushed myself up into a sitting position. He gave me a grin.

"I was not thinking about touching you. It was just your hand but the way you said it implied that you had been thinking about me touching you. It also implied that you still feel so loyal to my brother even after he died. Yet you feel the same way about me as I do for you." He laughed and grabbed me into a giant hug.

"Agh! Gabe let me go!" I pulled back and looked him in the eyes. I searched his gaze for a reason for why he had been hiding this side of him from me. I reached a hand up and pushed a strand of his dark hair from his eyes. Next thing I knew I was staring at his lips. He put his arms around me and pulled me closer. I was intoxicated by him, we were about to kiss when I pushed him away and stood up. I would not kiss my husband's brother. I would not meet Gabe's eyes.

He stretched his wings out and up. He flapped them a couple times then pushed off the ground and took flight. He was gone in seconds up into the dark skies. I let out a shaky breath.

"I'm sorry Gabe; I still love Leo too much." I whispered into the night.

My mind came back from my dream. I felt my wings stretch under a strong gust of wind. I missed Leo still but how could I ignore Gabe anymore? I've known him for years; he helped me get my revenge on Lady Gold for the murder of Leo. I just need to find where Lady Gold was hiding his body and who had she hired to kill him. Too bad her pathetic heart gave out. Maybe after I finish this I will be able to except Gabe. In a confused wounded heart a place of pain is the only place she can show her face without leaving a stain.
