Keith stirred in the small guest room a few days later. It had come to the day when he was to turn into an Angel of Darkness and leave Kate. The black haired boy could feel his heart deflating as he looked at the brunette laid next to him.
Kate looked so peaceful, so delicate as she breathed lightly and turned around to look at the boy. Her eyes squeezed together slightly and started to flutter open as Keith smiled slightly at the girl.
Kate smiled at the boy besides her and then remember the day, her smile quickly faded and Keith instantly felt a pang of guilt as he quickly pulled her into a hug.
The week the two had experience together were the best two weeks either of them could ask for. There were no interferences, not even from Kate's parents or sister, and Keith couldn't have asked for anything better than that.
Yes, it was true, and Angel had fallen for a Human, something that hadn't happened for centuries, and probably wouldn't happen again for many centuries more.
As the two hugged, a small knock came from the door as Freya walked inside. Kate looked up as Keith smiled at the woman in front of him, He was thankful the family had put him up for so long and now, it would feel strange having to leave them.
"Kate, you're father and I are going to work. Your sister is at her friends and there's a list of things we need on the fridge. I hope you and Keith don't mind getting them," the blonde haired woman smiled as she walked over to the two. Keith shook his head as Kate smiled.
"Course not, we'll be more than happy to," Kate grinned as she pulled the covers off her, revealing a lacy blue night gown as she flung her legs over the bed. Keith laughed at the enthusiasm of the girl as he shook his head, not wanting the day to end.
From afar, Rythmi shook her head as she looked at the two of them as a large hand quickly grabbed her and Isaac and pulled them back towards Heaven, the two blonde gasped in fear as they knew they were in trouble.
"How dare you?!" a voice boomed as the two blonde Angels were thrown onto the ground next to Kellyn, who had his hands bound behind his back.
"E-Elder," Isaac and Rythmi whispered in shock and fear as they looked up at the white bearded man. His eyes screamed with fury and his teeth were bared in a furious snarl as he looked at the three.
"How dare you let an Angel become human?! How dare you not keep the boy in check?! How dare you speak to the exiled?! Explain yourself! Now!" the elder yelled as Kellyn looked up. Rythmi gasped at the brunette haired boy. His lips were bleeding badly and he looked like he had been beaten.
Yes, Heaven wasn't all flowers and puffy clouds, it was in fact more torture than hell sometimes. If you fell out of line even once you were beaten back into place and Kellyn had suffered that beating.
"Kellyn!" Rythmi yelled as she wrapped her arms around the brunette, who hissed in pain. Isaac stood in complete shock, not knowing what to do. Did he tell the Elder and explain or-
"If I won't tell you, what makes you think these guys will?" Kellyn asked in a hoarse, weak voice as he tried his hardest to maintain consciousness.
"Because I will exile the three of you if you don't!" the Elder yelled. Rythmi flinched at the tone as she hugged Kellyn tighter, the brunette was her big brother figure. The blonde started sobbing as she buried her face in Kellyn's neck and instantly Isaac felt anger rise within him.
"You're supposed to be our Elder," the blonde boy spoke. "You're not supposed to beat the hell out of us! You're supposed to help us and care for the Angels in Heaven!" Isaac stated as the whip cracked down onto his back. A large pain shot through him as the blonde's eyes widened and he fell to the floor, almost paralysed as pain shot through him.
From, what Isaac assumed was supposed to be a jury, a small, petit hooded figure watched with amusement dancing in their eyes. None of the three Angels noticed them. In fact, not one Angel in the room could sense the suppressed magic this figure held as they listened to the blonde plead their case.
"You betrayed the Angels of Heaven!" the elder suddenly yelled.
"We were helping a friend!" Isaac argued as he was whipped again.
"Stop!" Rythmi yelled as she turned to look as Isaac, but instead the whip was brought down among the blonde. Before it hit, Isaac stood behind the girl, his eyes blazing with anger as the whip wrapped around his arm.
He glared at the Elder, but instead, his eyes landed on the hooded figure he had finally noticed. Their eyes blazing red as they licked their soft pink lips and stood to their feet.
"I think I've seen enough," the familiar voice spoke as the Elder's head shot to the person.
"You dare come back!" the man yelled in anger as he stood to his feet and the Angels around quickly moved away from the person as they pulled their hood down.
Seren stood before the three Angels, Isaac and Rythmi held a shocked expression as Kellyn smiled slightly at the woman.
"I think it's time for the three of you to come with me," the black haired Hell Master ordered as she started walking towards the three. Whips and swords were thrown towards the woman, but every time one hit, they reflected and were sent in the opposite direction, piecing or hitting the Angel they had come from.
"How dare you?" the Elder asked in anger as he stood to his feet, ready to attack the black haired woman.
"Because…. I really do hate people that decide to attack members of my Vanguard," Seren answered as she placed a hand on Isaac's shoulder. The boy's wings suddenly shot out and their angelic white colour quickly turned to a hellish black. Seren repeated the action with Rythmi and Kellyn as their dove like wings became black dove wing like and Seren grinned widely, showing her sharp teeth.
"I will find you in hell and we will kill you. Keith will pay the price when he comes back and we will kill him, just like we should have with you," the Elder growled as he looked at the black haired woman, whose grin seemed to widen as she held her hands out.
"About that," the woman spoke as a pair of white dove wings appeared in her hands and instantly every Angel's eyes widened as they looked at the wings. "Keith belong to my Vanguard as well. And if you ever lay a finger on the boy, I won't hesitate to come into Heaven and slaughter every last Angel alive. Man, woman and child," Seren threatened as she threw the pair of wings to the Elder before holding her hands out.
In an instant a black smoke surrounded the four and they disappeared in the midst of it all. The Elder slammed his fists onto the desk in front of him, fury running through his body as he tried his hardest to come to turns with what had happened.
"Something doesn't feel right," Kate suddenly spoke as she sat in front of the mirror in her room. Keith nodded his head as he looked out of the window before looking back at the list of items Kate's mum needed.
"I agree. We can get most of this stuff from the corner shop. Stay here, I'll be back as soon as possible," Keith smiled as Kate cocked her head to the side as she looked at him in the mirror.
She laughed as Keith rummaged through her purse, muttering under his breath as he tried his hardest to find the girl's purse.
"Son of a…. Who the heck has a purse this big? Where are you, you stupid – Aha!" Keith yelled in triumph as Kate giggled. The black haired boy quickly walked over and placed a kiss on her cheek before leaving the room.
Kate listened as the front door opened and closed and Keith quickly left the house to grab the list of items. Failing to notice the pink haired angel watching from the tree just outside Kate's room.
With a small smile Kate started to tie her hair up in its signature pigtails as she felt a presence in the room with her. Kate quickly stood to her feet and turned around as she saw a pink haired angel glaring at her.
"Who are you?" Kate asked in a somewhat bored tone as she looked at the woman.
"That doesn't matter! What matters is that you stole Keith from me!" Lavana yelled as she glared at Kate, taking a step forward as the brunette placed a hand on her hip and gave her a confused look.
"Keith didn't mention anything about a girlfriend," Kate replied as she raised an eyebrow in confusion as she tried to recall such a conversation, but none came to mind.
"I wasn't his girlfriend, but he was mine!" Lavana yelled as she felt tears coming to her eyes. "And you'll pay," the pink haired angel added as she drew a gun from her side. Kate's eyes widened in shock as she tried to reach for her own, but before she could grab it a loud bang echoed through the room as Kate felt her eyes widen.
A numbing pain shot through the brunette as she looked down at her chest with a gaping mouth. Blood started pooling from the wound where she had been shot and quickly fell to her knees as she placed a hand over her chest.
Keith, who had been less than five minutes away heard the shot. His eyes widened as he dropped the items in his hands and quickly took off in the direction of the house.
As he entered, he rushed upstairs to see Kate lying in a pool of blood and Lavana disappearing, without looking at him. Keith rushed to his beloved's side as Kate's eyes drifted closed. Tears formed in the black haired boy's eyes as he felt his body becoming light again.
"Kate, please, wake up," Keith whispered as he looked at the girl. "Wake up!" he yelled as he gripped her hand and lifted her body slightly. Kate was becoming heavy and her breathing shallow.
"I know I've done things that are wrong for an Angel to do," Keith whispered as he looked up, tears falling from his eyes. "But please! If you can hear me, save her!" the boy begged as his hair turned from black to its original red colour as he felt anger and remorse pour through him. He had ruined Kate's life.
"My dear, lying cold, I will spend the rest of my life with you, as I swore on that day. This was my sin again God. All my acts of treachery should be paid by my death, and so, I will die for you. I believe, this is my fate," Keith whispered as he kissed the brunette's hand before kissing her forehead and finally her lips once more as sirens sounded in the distance.
Keith laid the brunette down on the ground as his back suddenly started feeling better and black, crow like wings spread from his back as he looked down at the girl.
With little strength, Kate moaned slightly, opening her eyes a little as she looked at the red head standing above her. Tears formed in his eyes more and more as Keith smiled sadly down at the brunette. He was scared to leave her, he didn't want to. But he had to.
In a small burst of red flames Keith suddenly disappeared as a soft, black feather landed next to Kate. The brunette weakly reached for it as a tear slipped from her eyes and she held it close to her.
"Keith," was the last thing the brunette managed to whisper as her consciousness started to fade away and the sirens drew closer and closer with each passing moment.
