KPOV (Kyran Point of View)
I walked though every hallway that was in our house until I finally reached the door that I had been looking for. I reached it quicker than I would have expected, and I wasn't sure if I was ready to tell my father the news that I had. But I knew if I didn't then I was risking Mika's safety, and that she and that vampire prince could run off, and really didn't want to lose her.
I picked up my hand and knocked on the door three times, I was expecting my father to answer the door with a livid expression, but I didn't receive one.
"Is there something that I can do for you, son?" He asked me raising an eyebrow. It was in moments like this that I found our whole existence completely and totally gross. That I could look into the eyes of a man that could not be much older than me if we were on earth, and think that he is my father. In truth he was much older than I, anyone knew that, but it was still odd that as I looked into the groomed and handsome face of my father that…he didn't feel like a father to me at all.
"Kyran…is there something wrong?" He asked reaching out and putting his hand on my shoulder. I stared at him for a moment, then I nodded. I had come here with a purpose, and I wasn't about to forget that.
"Tell me what is troubling you." He said and I wasn't sure what it was that I was going to say, but I had to think and quick.
"There's a man in Mika's room, she's there too…I…I wasn't sure what to do." I said honestly and he looked at me in alarm before flashing out of the room without another word. I followed him swiftly, through all the hallways that lay between his office and Mika's room, and when we arrived there, we both just stood outside the door.
We shared a quick glance then my father swung the door open and it made a sickening crack against the wall. And there was Mika, laying in her bed, peaceful and asleep, though it wasn't really that way. With he head on the chest of the vampire king she was sleeping as if she had no cares in the world. His eyes met ours and his mouth twitched up into what I could only call a small pathetic attempt of a smile.
"Kain." My father said shortly looking at the vampire.
Kain nodded back and made no effort to return a similar greeting to the King of Angels. How arrogant.
"I think you have overstayed your welcome Vampire King, you should leave while you still have your head." My father said stepping into the room.
"Well I really do not wish to leave without my fiancée, so I think there is a bit of a situation here." Kain answered back smugly his black hair falling over his face and casting a shadow over his eyes.
"Leave now." My father said again. With that Kain gently eased himself from under Mika and slid easily off the side of the bed.
"Your Majesty I'm beg your pardon, but I'm here to spend some time with my future wife, and I think it's about time you stopped living in the past." Kain replied promptly.
My fathers face twisted up into a sick smile, the kind he always got right before he went in to fight someone.
"Aw, now your Majesty I'm not here to fight you, though if that's what you wish for…I would be able to grant it, but I'm not sure that Mika wants to lose her father."
I looked around the room desperately, trying to think of anything that would stop the impending fight before me, when again, Mika was able to do that on her own.
Mika sprang upright in her bed, and then a blinding light shot out of her forehead. It was the oddest thing but I looked closer and noticed that the light was coming from a bright white mark that was etching itself into her skin. The mark could only be described as a circular sun, and within that sun, was a star.
We all stood and watched in shock as the mark forever scarred it's way onto Mika's forehead. Then it happened. Her hair shot out into ribbons of long silky white strands, and her eyes turned the brightest red. She was becoming a full angel…no…this wasn't happening not now.
My father watched in horror as everything he had planned was flushed down the toilet, Mika was regaining her memory, and she was doing it on free will. There wouldn't be one thing she was forced to forget, not one feeling that could be clouded away now. She would remember me, it was going to happen, and there was nothing my father could do about it.
In the final stage of her transformation we waited and waited until the moment that her angel wings would grow out, magnificent and white. But when she did get her wings we all gasped in horror. They were angels wings for sure, but they were only a dull off-set white, and we stood and watched as they turned pitch black before our very eyes. Then her hair, long and beautiful white, dulled and then shot out black again like it had been before.
She was a full angel now, so why did she look so vampire to me? Her eyes, alert and red scanned the room, she was no doubt still remembering things, and when her eyes landed on me, I knew she knew about our past.
Then as if she had realized the situation that we had discovered Kain in her room she shrank down in a defensive crouch in front of him, telling us, in her own way to leave him alone. Kain reached out and touched her on the shoulder and she immediately released her crouch and stood next to him.
Seeing them side by side was brilliant, it was almost as if they were made for each other. Her black hair matching his, and their wings though different were as black as night when in contrast together. His piercing jet blue eyes were stabbing us with anger, while her electric red stared us down. They were intimidating when side by side in this manner, almost as if one was made for the other, which could have been a possibility.
"Don't touch him daddy, really if you do you'll regret it." Mika said and I looked at her in shock. Even her voice was different. It wasn't its usually goofy, high funny pitch that I was used to. This voice was darker and more sinister and sounded like it left no room for laughter in her being.
"I suppose I wont touch him dear Mika, but he's going to have to leave." My father answered.
"Of course daddy, we'll be leaving any moment now, just give us some time here." She said with a fake innocence that almost sounded like her old self. This wasn't supposed to happen. The transformation was supposed to take her and make her into her old regular self, but now she's this thing, she's neither her original self, or the old thing that came back to us…she's completely different. And for the first time, I was scared of her.
MPOV (Mika Point of View)
I looked around the room, at my brother who was staring at me wide eyed, to my father who was angrier than I've ever seen him, even in all of my memories. Through my newly gained memories I had seen that he was always a kind and loving person and now…he was something that I had never seen before.
"You're not leaving this house young lady." My dad said as Zaniel walked into the room. Kain almost attacked him in shock remembering that it was this mans fault that I had ever found out that Kain was a vampire. But he pulled back in confusion. The man that had attacked that girl that I'd tried to save was a vampire, and Kain knew that, Kain knew Zane, that much I knew as well, but it seems that Kain never knew that Zane had been an angel, or that he had been my brother.
"Zane?" Kain said out loud in confusion.
Zane nodded back so slightly that it was almost unnoticeable. "Lord." He said.
"What happened to you Kain? I thought you were one of us? But you're an angel? I don't know what's going on…and…why are you here?" Kain at this point was so confused. He was looking Zane up and down from his white hair to his red eyes, he knew there was no doubt that this man was Zane.
I took Kain's hand in mine and looked him in the eye. "Zane is my brother Kain;
I didn't know it either at the time. But he is, and…wait…why is he calling you Lord?" I said and squinted my eyes at him confused.
"Because I serve Kain, even if I'm forced to come back to this hell hole, I'm first and foremost an ally of Kain." Zane said and my dads head snapped around to stare at him.
"What are you talking about?" My dad hissed taking a step closer to Zane. For some reason I felt the need to protect my brother, but Kain was holding onto my arm, and just staring at me in wonder.
True; I had become a full angel, and my appearance was different from everyone in my family, but I think the current situation held more dire attention than me.
"You're amazing Mika, really amazing. Truly." Kain breathed.
But my attention wasn't focused on him in this moment. My attention was only on my fathers' advancements towards my brother.
After a moment of struggling I broke free of Kains hold and went to stand between my father and Zane anticipating a fight.
"Where is this family's loyalty? My daughter is running off with a vampire king, my son seems so determined to serve him, and my other son is in love with his sister…" He sighed and slammed his fist into the wall.
Kyrans' eyes flashed over to mine and in that instant we communicated a whole conversation, he realized that I knew he loved me, I was now a full angel, and I, no matter what I was before, I couldn't love him any longer.
He nodded silently and crossed the room distance up me.
"I'm sorry Ky…I just…I'm not that person anymore." I said looking him in the eye.
He smiled lightly, and reached out and put his hands on my shoulders. "I understand." He said. His eyes flashed over me taking in my new appearance, the dark black hair that should be white, my bright red eyes that used to be brown, no matter how long a time. All these things that shouldn't be, but somehow were.
"Mika!" I heard Kain scream, and I turned around to stare at him in shock but stopped midway when I saw my father charging after me with a electric blue ball of light in the palm of his hand.
I gasped and took a quick step back. I didn't know what that light would do, but I was sure that I didn't want to know.
