Chapter 8

Sky POV

I woke up and it was still very dark in the room. I searched for any kind of clock. I saw little red numbers indicating it was 3 am. I groaned and pushed the covers off. I sat up and then got to my feet. I went back to the door and was about to turn it when a cold chill passed through my body. I froze. Someone was in the room. My hand tightened around the knob. The presence was so strong there was a kind of supernatural pull. I glanced over my shoulder and sure enough, a thin female figure was by the window, leaning against it. She pushed herself off and walked halfway.

"It's been a while, Sky." A smooth velvety voice enveloped me. I kept my back to her, in complete silence. "Alright… I understand you don't want to talk to me." A sudden wave of pity came over me. No. Not pity. But sympathy, almost compassion. This time, I turned my head completely to look at her. She had long blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She was equally tall and thin and very attractive. Her face changed expression when she looked at me. It was close to awe.

"Wh-Who are you?" I asked. A soft smile pulled her lips up.

"In time you'll know." Her eyes widened in terror as she quickly glanced between me and the door. "I'll come back later."

"Wait!" The door opened behind me. I turned to see Patch.

"For what?" I looked back behind to see if she was still there, but she had disappeared into thin air.

"Nothing!" I answered quickly. "Nothing at all."

"Alright." He answered skeptically. He took a step into my room and froze. He looked around and let his eyes stop on the window. Did he know? Of course he'd know. He's an angel. He knows everything! "Are you sure there isn't anything you want to say?"

"Nope." I said innocently. "I was just going to… go downstairs for a glass of water." I said smiling, as though that would convince him.

"But there's one right next to the bed." He pointed out. I looked over at the futon and, in fact, there was a glass of water right next to it.

"I don't know how that got there." I said calmly.

"Is everything okay in here?" Nora's head popped out from behind Patch.

"Uh huh." I said confused as I attempted to piece everything together in my head. "Why are you all in the room!?" I asked realizing that my privacy was indeed becoming public.

"We just wanted to see if you were alright. Scott said that something had upset you and you rushed upstairs and he didn't hear anything from you after that." Nora said with a motherly tone. Geez, I feel bad for her future kids.

"No, everything was fine. I just felt a little tired because of everything that happened today." I said stating it as though I had passed it over and over in my head. Patch didn't buy it.

Sky, are you sure?

Yes! Geez… I'm fine! I swear!

You can tell me anything.

Patch, leave me alone. I'm fine. He shrugged and took Nora by the hand.

"C'mon, like she said. She was just tired."

"You do know I know you can mentally talk to her right?" Nora answered. Patch snickered and pulled her out of my room. "If you need anything, just let me know!" Nora called after me. I answered her positively and stood alone in my room.

Quiet voices hummed through the house. I thought I heard Scott's and immediately caught my breath. I wanted to go downstairs and talk to him. I had to. I needed to know exactly what he meant. I took one firm step towards the door and immediately turned around to run back to the futon. I jumped onto it and wrapped the covers around me. Congrats, you coward! I leaned down to look for my bag to take out my iPod and calm down, but it wasn't there. I slapped my palm to my forehead and grunted. I left my bag downstairs… in the living room.

That's it.

I got up and firmly left the room. I went down the stairs and entered the living room. Scott was sitting in one couch and Patch was standing up. Nora was sitting in the loveseat. Vee seemed to have left.

"Sky!" Scott said happily as he realized I was there. Why was he so happy to see me?! Wait. That was a stupid question.

"Hi." I said giving a little awkward wave. "Why are you guys all awake at this time?" I asked trying to subtly insert myself into their previous conversation. Patch and Nora shared a look and then looked at Scott who was staring at me intently.

"We're talking about the Nephils." Scott said nodding, as though confirming with himself. "Some odd activity has made them all act weirdly."

"What do you mean by 'some odd activity'?" I asked.

"Well, supposedly demons have found a way to come out of Hell." Patch said sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Demons!? Those exist too?" I asked almost exasperated.

"Logically… if out kind exists." Patch said with a small smile.

"Shut up." I said slightly feeling dumb.

Vee appeared from the kitchen with a sandwich and looked at me. She nodded and walked up to the loveseat in which Nora was sitting and sunk down next to her. I bit the inside of my cheek and swallowed difficultly.

"Anything new with the situation?" Vee asked taking a bite out of her food. My stomach growled loudly. My hand went to my belly and I held it, hoping no one heard it.

"You sound hungry." Scott said smiling. I looked up to him and had a guilty smile plastered on my face. "I'm going out. You're coming." From the corner of my eye, I saw Vee tense.

"Nah. I'm fine."

"That wasn't a question." He said walking up to me and taking my hand. "We'll be back a bit later."

"But it's 3 am. Nothing's opened!"

"Nobody said that we had to eat healthy. McDonalds are sure to still be opened." I opened my mouth to retort, but he had already gone out the door. I looked back at Patch and Nora, Vee's back to me. I sighed and followed Scott out of the house.

He was driving quite quickly down the highway. He got off at one exit and when my eyes landed on the large yellow 'M', my stomach growled so loudly, I swear it could've been heard all the way in Antarctica. He chuckled and placed the clutch in first gear, slowing down and pulling into the drive-through. He rolled down his window and placed his order and mine without asking for it. I sighed realizing he had got it spot on. We rolled forward and he paid for the food, giving the bags to me and driving off to a secluded part in the parking lot. He grabbed his food and started to eat. I looked down at the burger in the bag and without thinking; I grabbed it and stuffed my face. Literally. I heard him laugh next to me. I immediately brought the burger back down and placed it in my lap.

"Did you sleep well?" I turned to face him. He chewed slowly as he looked at me.

"Yes. Thank you. Are you the one who put the glass of water in my room?" I blurted. I bit my tongue right after. He frowned and then a soft look replaced the confused one.

"No, but I'm starting to feel bad for not thinking of it." He lowered his burger and passed his hand over his face, sighing heavily.

"Oh! No! Please don't feel bad! It wasn't your fault!" I said attempting to reassure him. Damn did I have a knack for words!

"That means that someone else thought of you…" His eyes snapped up to mine. "And I'm pretty sure it wasn't Vee." He said matter-of-factly. I averted my eyes from his and turned to face the front. "Patch and Nora had only gotten back a few minutes before you woke up… Sky." I looked out the window and grabbed the burger, taking another large bite out of it, preventing me from possibly saying anything. "Did you see something… or someone?"

"Ofhjag couehnemkdrse nsdofugbt." I said turning to him, fury boiling up inside of me. I wasn't going to tell Scott what I couldn't even tell Patch.

"What?" I rolled my eyes and chewed before swallowing.

"Of course not!"

"Then why would you turn away from me when I was saying those things? It's all part of body language."

"Cuz you're a master at that, right?" I answered sarcastically. I grabbed the drink and slurped loudly.

"Sky, I just want to help you. Why do you keep on pushing people out?"

"If you haven't realized, I haven't exactly lived the best of lives, and only a few hours ago did I find out I'm an Archangel, most probably a really powerful one at that. And to top it all off, there's you! You and your little signs that can't be read because we live in such a complicated world of… of…" I let out a little groan, attempting to find my words. "CRAP!" I burst out. "Yes! In such a complicated world of crap! And then, that woman from before! She just appeared out of nowhere and because I seem to have some retarded crap of amnesia, I can't recall who she is even if she tells me 'it's been a while, Sky'!" I slapped my hand over my mouth, my eyes widening to the size of dinner plates.

"A woman? What did she look like? Who was she?" I shook my head violently, my curls flying everywhere.

"Forget I said anything."

"No! Sky! You have to stop doing this. Who was she? What did she say? What did she want?" Tears burned the back of my eyes.

"I don't know okay?!" I yelled. The tears started to roll down my cheeks. "I just know she was important to me. I had this pull to her. She was someone very important… maybe in my childhood. I don't know." Before I knew it, his arms were wrapped around me and he was holding me tightly. Heavy sobs escaped me and soon after, my arms were around him, not wanting to let go any time soon.

He tried to calm me down, shushing me and smoothing out my hair. He pushed his seat back and pulled me onto his lap. I buried my face in his chest and just stayed in that position, without caring if it meant something else. I felt his heartbeat in his chest accelerate just a bit and his breathing became cut and sharp. He tried to breathe normally, as though to show me he had control of the situation, but he was only making it worse for himself. His arms were strong around my little frame. I sensed every muscle of his tighten at the right moments. He lowered his head and kissed the crown of my head. I guess we had passed the awkwardness of being so close a while back. And despite what I had done to his arms earlier, he didn't seem as though he was going to let go any time soon.

"Sky…" His voice shook.

"Hmm?" I asked, realizing my tears had stopped and so had my sobs.

"I… I…" My heart sped up; something was changing inside of me. My vision blurred and sounds around me grew faint.

"Scott!" I winced in pain as my stomach seemed to burn up. Damn. Having McDonalds at such a late hour wasn't a good idea. I looked up at him in confusion. His eyes widened and he brought up a shaky hand to my face. He wiped my tears away and then showed me his thumb.

It was stained red.

Red like blood.

I was crying tears of blood.
