No character belong to me except my wonderful Sky.
Chapter 6
Sky POV
My whole world just shifted. Even though I was sitting on a chair, it felt as though I had fallen hard on this cold hard ground. I hadn't blinked since he let it slip. I sat in complete silence, watching him carefully. A small smile was tugging at his lips. It wasn't the kind that was mocking; it was more of an empathetic one. as though he actually understood my confusion. My mouth opened and closed multiple, attempting to make any kind of sound. But nothing. Ever.
"I understand this is hard to understand right now…" He stated.
"'Hard to understand' is a bit of an understatement." I finally articulated. He breathed a laugh and advanced his chair towards me, closing all possible escape space.
"Sky, I never intended to leave you here all alone. But I couldn't help you. I had gotten stuck in my own world and had become selfish."
"What do you mean?"
"I wanted to become human, Sky."
"Why would you want to do that? You're an angel! Hell, an Archangel! You have all the power and strength possible… why would you want to become such a worthless being like a human?"
"That's where you're wrong. Humans happen to be the strongest of all creations. Their emotional needs are simply incredible. Being an Archangel, you don't ever feel the way one living on Earth would. You're stuck with these laws that you can't cross! It's sucks that you can't just live through your immortal life with feelings!"
"Nora."
"Yes. She was the reason at some point afterwards that I chose to stay an angel."
"Why only afterwards?"
"Because to become human I needed to sacrifice a descendant of a Nephil. And-"
"Nephil? Scott had mentioned that. Is it really a crossbreed of an angel and a human?" I asked. He nodded and looked over his shoulder. I followed his gaze to the living room and a light clicked in my head. "You were supposed to kill Nora." I said understanding right away. He lowered his head, avoiding my eyes. He was ashamed of it.
"It most definitely is not one of my proudest moments, but I was desperate and she was the perfect target at the time. Then… well…"
"Things changed." I completed. He nodded again and sighed.
"But that isn't important anymore, since I'm still a Fallen." He said shifting his weight on the chair and looking back at me.
"You fell from Heaven?" I asked, my eyes widening.
"More or less… They pulled my wings out." He said nonchalantly.
I was stunned. By "they", I understood he was talking about the Archangels. How could they do that to one of their own? As I tried to wrap my mind around it, Patch had stood up and walked out of the kitchen into the living room. He sat down next to Nora and hugged her tightly. They exchanged a few words and then kissed. I couldn't help but look away. I felt as though I was intruding their peace. My turn came to get up and I stepped into the same space as them.
"Um... Nora?" She turned her head to look at me affectionately, like a mother would with her child. "Would I be able to stay here tonight? I wouldn't want to impose myself or anything… it's just, going home doesn't seem like such an option at this point."
"Sky, you don't even have to ask." She got up and came up to me, hugging me tightly. I wrapped one arm around her and hugged her back for a short while until I pulled away.
"And what of Scott?" I muttered slightly embarrassed to have to ask.
"He's a bit confused. Undecided."
Before I had the chance to ask about his knowledge of the situation, the front door opened and we all turned our heads to see who it was. Ironically enough, it was Scott. His duffel was swung over his shoulder and he was dressed in light jeans and a dark blue leather jacket. His blue eyes analyzed the situation and then landed one me. My being suddenly shrunk so much; I must have been in the Quantum Foam. Speaking of which, where's my time machine? I averted my gaze and looked back at Patch, 'ignoring' Scott as much as I could. The door slammed shut and heavy footsteps came up to us until they came to a stop.
Right behind me.
"C'mon Sky… I'll bring you to your room." Nora said slowly. She took my hand and pulled me to the staircase.
"Why? Is she going to live here now?" Venom seeped through his words. That's it. I couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't going to be bullied by this jackass.
"You know what?" I spun on my heels and made hard eye contact with him. "Yes. I am going to live here now. Oh, wait. Now you want to know why? Well listen to me here you lowlife: I'm not your property and I most definitely don't listen to anything you will say. Ever. So why don't you remove that stick from where the light ain't shining and calm the Hell down? Just because you're 6 foot something and you happen to be relatively good looking, that doesn't mean that you have the right to dictate what I do and what I won't do. You aren't social services… and you are most definitely NOT my father. So leave me alone and stop attempting to control my life. I am way out of your hands at this point. If I wanted to, you could be squashed right about now."
"Okay… Sky. That's enough." Nora said placing a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged her off.
"No." I directed my gaze back to Scott. "Or even better:" I said in a sweet voice "Not breathing. Because I would place a lot of pressure right here" I indicated the area he had so softly touched early that day "and then the flow of air will slow down. You won't have any more oxygen that'll flow to your brain and then it'll start shutting off the vital organs in your abdomen… then… it'll slowly shut itself down… along with your heart. And then? You'd be dead." I whispered. His jaw clenched during my speech as he watched me carefully. He swallowed with difficulty and then fixed his bag on his shoulder.
"Sky…" He said softly.
"Oh! Great! Now you're going to be nice and sweet and understanding?!" I burst.
"No!" He matched my tone. "I'M ONLY TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"By trying to kill me? TWICE?!"
"GUYS!"
"WHAT!?" we said in unison looking at Patch who had the smart idea in intervening.
"You clearly have to talk stuff over. Nora… We have to go somewhere anyways." He said calmly. Scott and I exchanged something similiar to a glance and then turned to look at Nora. She sighed and walked over to Patch, taking hold of his hand. "We'll be back… so try not to kill each other. Literally." He gave me a small smile and then gave Scott a warning look.
Patch and Nora left a few minutes afterwards, leaving Scott and I alone in the big empty house. We stood in front of each other, not saying anything. His eyes travelled my body and then he brought his gaze somewhere else, almost ignoring me.
"What is it with you?" I asked frustrated.
"Nothing."
"Why are you-"
"Sky. Just stop talking!" He snapped at me.
"NO! I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU HATE ME SO MUCH! I don't get it! You're always trying to kill me to 'try and understand what I am'!" I said angrily with a low voice, attempting to match a boy's. "You show such interest in me and then you go and try to kill me. What the Hell, Scott!"
"I DON'T HATE YOU!" He burst. He buried his face in his hands and rubbed it violently, passing them roughly through his hair. "You should get some rest." He said turning to go sit on the couch.
"No! Stop. No. You can't do that. You can't just throw something like that and not explain your… self…" He stopped and took his jacket off, tossing it onto the couch.
I subconsciously brought a hand to my chest as I saw the pack of muscles that was right in front of me. He was wearing a white t-shirt that defined every muscle that composed his body. His back was perfectly modeled, as though he were made out of marble, like a Greek god. My brain had stopped computing with the rest of my body. I blinked furiously and then looked away, taking a step back. I figured by putting space between us, I wouldn't feel anything odd.
"Well…" I swallowed with difficulty "You have an odd way of showing it…" I said trying to calm things down. With this situation… and the one my heart was experiencing. He finally turned to look at me.
"And I also have an odd way of living. I'm a Nephil and this isn't something I wanted."
"Yeah… I overheard." I said with annoyance. "Remember that first time you attempted to kill me?" I asked.
"Will you ever just shut up?!" He asked defeated.
"Not until I get my answers."
"I'll remind you; you never answered any of my questions either."
"Fine! You want to know what I am, I'll tell you: I'm an angel. Yeah. I didn't believe it either… because it ISN'T possible! Nothing could ever prove that my 'kind' exists and no one can really say for sure if I'm not just in a mental institute and imagining all this crap!" I said anger boiling up inside of me.
"You aren't Nephil?" He asked bewildered.
"Nope. I'm an Archangel." I said starting to breath normally again. The word just rolled off of my tongue so naturally. So I was an Archangel… what does that have to do with anything?
Scott was suddenly in front of me. I hadn't noticed he had moved since I was so caught up in my head, thinking about everything. His body heat was radiating around him. I felt his pulse, almost as though it was actually my own. It had sped up and his muscles were all tense. I started to tremble in fear. I had never actually reacted this way. I had always shaken because I was so angry. I opened and closed my mouth and few times, trying to say something.
"Now it's your turn to answer my-"
I hadn't had time to finish my sentence before my mouth closed up again. Because other lips had closed them for me.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA H! HOW MANY OF YOU SAW THAT COMING?! I had had this idea since a while... because I've always loved Scott... and I was secretly in love with him despite having such devoted love for Patch... there was just something about blondie... anyyyywwwaayyyysss... whaddaya think about this chapter? :D
