Chapter 3 The pale angel
After Being pressured to sent the letter to Stella was leaving on a wall pondering on his choice till he heard a voice from behind and turned around and saw who spoke to him. It was a angle like him but short by a few inches with pale almost porcelain skin and red/yellow eyes and sharp fangs showing he wasn't like him a full human but something demonic like. He had pale cornflower yellow like hair combed fine and confide in contract with what he was wearing a white leather jacket with a red apple pin and a black shirt underneath and a pare of tan jeans with patches of rubber ducks and red and white tennis shoes.
He had a open book as he studied the chubby and taller angel as he closed the book and smirked at the golden eyed angel "Um excuse me sir…" started Adam as the angel studied Adam "You clearly have a good soul and a sense of morality you just need to work a little bit more harder to keep it clean, after all *Smirks you can see his fangs* we all have that potential for evil even we angels ourselves" he said as he returned to his book looking ready to walk off as Adam got excited recalling the book his Papa Stolas read to him at times "Hold on you cant just quote Baudelaire and then turn away from me, I didn't catch your name what is it?" He asked as the sharp toothed angel just side smiled "I didn't throw it" he said his eyes sparkling with mirth as he continued to read
Oh my god' Adam thought blushing, growing up with two gender fluid males he developed his own sexuality of being Bi liking both male and females especially with lectures that there was no shame on liking both sides of the gender spectrum as he walked to the V's table glancing back a few times at the strange angel blushing. Over at the jock table Striker and Chaz were glaring at the angel as he continued to read "Who does that guy in the jacket thin he is anyway?" Chaz grumbled angery "Bo Diddley?" He said as Striker snorted at that "Adam is into that act no doubt" he said as Chaz got up "Lets kick his ass" said Chaz as Striker placed a claw on his freinds shoulder "Cool it we are seniors *Smiles* lets give him a good scare* said striker as Chaz grinned at that as the two jocks walked over to the pale angel table as Striker took the muffin half eaten on the tray as the angel looked up "Were you gonna eat this?" He asked mockingly as Chaz loomed over "Hay sweetheart, what did your boyfriend say when you told him you were moving to Pride?" He asked as the angel avoided him.
"Hay my buddy was talking to you" said Striker as the two folded there arms threatendly as Chaz turned to Striker "Hay Strikes dosent this cafeteria have a 'no frags allowed rule'" said Chaz as Striker grinend "Sure does" he said as surprisingly the pale angle just grinned lazily "Seems to have a open door policy with smart mouths though" he said calmly as that made the two angery. "What did you say Dickhead!" Yelled Striker "Pin his arms Striker I got him!" Said Chaz as Striker grabbed the pale angels arms and pulled him off his chair…but unexpected the thin angle kicked Chaz away from him and threw off Striker then slapped Chaz with his book and punched Striker in the face…
It was so fast one can blink and miss as everyone in the cafeteria were in shock
Students: Holy shit (Holy shit)
Holy shit (Holy shit)
Holy Shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Adam just stared as he was in frozen motion at what has happened as he just felt his heart pound in his chest and a sensation of allure and lust and something more. His parents called it 'love and attraction' "Why when you see boys or girls fight does it look so horrible yet feel so right *Watch how the boy was standing up and protecting himself* I shouldn't watch this crap that's not who I am…but with this kid Damm"
Adam: Hay mister no-name kid so who might you be?
And could you fight for me? And Hey could you face the crowd
Could you be seen with me and still act proud? (Sees the angel stand tall and proud as everyone watched)
Hey could you hold my hand? And could you carry me through no mans land?
He pondered wanting to touch the angels hand but held back touching it
But I would fight for you if you would fight for me
Let them drive us underground, I dont care how far, you can set my broken bars
And I know CPR
Soon the angel managed to knock out Striker and Chaz as he brushed his hands as Adam was in awe as many people chattered
Well woah you can punch real good you've lasted longer than I thought you would
So hay mister no-named kid if some night you're free (The angel then straighten his jacket as he started to walk out as people watched)
Wanna fight for me? (Students: Holy shit)
If you're still alive (Students: Holy shit)
I would fight for you (Students: Holy shit Holy shit)
If you would fight for me
Students: Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Holy shit
Adam watched the angel walk out but he turned to the chubby angel and winked with a smirk as Adam's cheeks turned red blushing deciding to keep it in fantasy a bit longer because that angel was just to good to be true.
Later in the afternoon the V's and Adam were playing croquet in his parents backyard, his Papa Bella was out doing groceries while his Papa Blitzo was preparing some papers for his side job as a job security as the three V's were laughing at Adams face from staring at the Pale angel. "Oh my god your face drool much Adam? You were practically about to throw your boxers at the new Kid" said Valatino as Adam blushed as Vox and Velvette giggled at the notion as Adam blushed deeper "Shut up Val I dont even know the guys name" he said as he struck his blue Croquet ball as it bumped off Vals pink ball softly. Apparently the V's play croquet equally normally at Vals house but Valatino insisted to do it at his house as he pulled out the croquet equipment from the trunk of his bright red and pink Porsche.
At that Adam scowled and hit the red ball into the direction of Vox's blue ball as it connected with a soft clunk as the TV headed sinner "Oh you want to play, do you wanna take the two shots or send me out?" Asked Vox as Valatino approached him slowly with a in incredulous look on his hansom face "Did you puke up your lunch as well as your brain? *Puts a foot on his red ball which was touching Vox's blue ball and then smacked it hard with his mallet sending the blue ball flying behind a small fountain near the trees at the bottoms of the garden* I always win and I suggest you know it or else" said Val with a odd gentle poke on Vox's belly as the TV headed sinner humphed as he went to his ball it is his turn.
Making his way to the water fountain and positioned himself near the ball as his fellow V's offered encouragement…and that is used loosely "Easy shot Vox" said Val smirking "No way he is gonna do it" said Velvete shaking her head "Better give it up at that angle" said Adam as Vox scowled and carefully hit the ball as it clanged off the metal cloths line thunked off a tree and rolled through the hoop as that surprised Valatino "Woah" said Velvete "Holy shit that was incredible!" Said Adam as Vox smirked and made his way back to the garden "Your turn Val" said Vox as the moth demon pouted and looked at Adam "I"m giving Adam his shot' he said as Adam obligingly hit his ball as it rolled into Valatinos as once again Valatino smacked his ball into Vox as he groaned. Soon the sound of the radio doors opened as the four turned and saw Blitzo smiling at the group as he had a plate of sandwiches "Here you go fellas! Care for some Pate?" He asked as Valatino raised a eye brow at the plate "That is not pate…that is other type of meats" he said slowly as Blitzo waved a hand "I know inside family joke" he said snickering as Valatino faked laughed.
"Hahahah very funny" said Valatino as Bltzo tutted "needed a joke in the family at times because it feels good to laugh…though I question why I read spy novels if it at times makes me ready with my gun?" Asked Blitzo as Adam smiled "because you are a goof papa Stolas loved" said Adam as he grinned as Blitzo looked at Valatino "Soooo any plans for tonight?" He said biting into a roast beaf sandwich accidently sending spit on Valatinos delicate cheek bone as the moth growled as Adam stepped up before it got ugly.
"There is a big homecoming party at Strikers home tonight, I'm catching a ride with Valatino later to get to the party" said Adam as Valatino got up "Speaking of which" he interrupted as he, Vox and Velvette all picked up there croquet balls in synch and swung there mallets over there shoulders…it was creepy, cool and awe…but more creepy as Adam watched them leave temporary. "Speaking of which…great lunch but I need to get ready" said Adam going inside to his room as he felt a hand on his shoulder and saw it was his papa "Adam…dont let the popular ones change you" he said state-whispering that the V's can her him as Adam cringed a bit "I need them" he said "For what? You have freinds and you have Stella she's lovely" said Blitzo as Adam frowned "Maybe I want more out of life then the lunchmeat served to me, and to be seen not as some fat dad bod angel…I want to be liked as something" he said going into his room as the V's smirked at the response seeing that the angel was going to there mindsets as Blitzo sighed "As long as it dosent go beyond worst and he can turn back" he said.
Dear Diary, ok going to my own party sounds like a blast and I hope its like the parties my adopted sisters Loona and Octavia went to when they were my age and according to them I need to follow some rules
It then shows a male owl demon with four red eyes and black and grey feathers and slender and was wearing glasses. His name is Stolas or Bella as his past lifes name and today he was a female as shown by the blue gown and ribbon in his/her hair as he helped Adam pick out a outfit as Loona and Octavia, a Hellhound with beautiful red eyes and silver fur and a owl demon with luminous red eyes and dark black feathers, his adopted older sisters.
"First rule you can drink since you are old enough but remember not to drink to much if you get buzzed you may wind up getting a bun in your belly, trust me it happened to my roommate and she got her partner pregnet" said Loona "Lets be proud your mom was willing to help her out until she got a good paying job with a nursery, and if you get buzzed dont talk to anyone until it disappears or else you will get a bun in your belly" said Octavia as Adam took the outfit Bella took "Bit hard to do that I am a guy and if a guy wants to do it with me it won't work and I will be careful with the ladies" he said going into the bathroom as Stolas slapped her face as Loona and Octavia sighed "We wish that he payed attention in health class" she said as Adam stepped out dressed in a blue rock shir with musical notes and torn blue jeans and black boots with his wings folded back and a new pair of earrings blue musical note type earrings in his ears, a gift from his papa Blitzo as he stepped in "Alright you are ready for your party those V's are coming to pick you up and remember to call if you need to be picked up (Stolas: Or just call to assure us you are ok) that as well and Adam *Places his hands on Adams shoulders* just remember to not let the V's to change you and to remember who you are" said Blitzo as Adam gently looked at his slightly shorter Papa "Dad…" he started but a loud horn honked outside.
Valatinos voice: Get in loser its time to party
At that Adam gave a 'I am sorry face' as he said his goodbyes to his parents and sisters and walked out to meet with the V's who were all riding in Valatinos porche as they drove to a 7-eleven to get snacks…that Adam had to be the one to get as a messenger boy. There was only one vehicle a motorcycle painted a fine white and apple red with a serpent painted on it making it look sleek and cool "Be sure to get Corn nuts! Party is no party with Corn nuts!" Yelled Valatino as Adam sighed "Yes Val, which flavor plain or BQ?" He asked "BQ and make it good" he said as Adam sighed and browed the isles in the store as he collected several bags of the snacks as a voice spoke from behind.
"Greetings and Salutations" said a voice as Adam turned and sure enough there was the pale angel from the cafeteria standing there with a Slurpee "You gonna buy a Slurpee with that?" He asked as Adam blushed "Nope but if you're nice I'll let you buy me a big Gulp" he said flirting since Valatino wasn't around to be a butt as the pale angel raised his eyebrows incredecently "That is like going to mickey D's to order salad *Snorts a bit as he sips his drink and gives a flirt look* Slurpee is the signature drink of the house did you say a cherry or a lime, I prefer Apples but I am flexible" he said as Adam chucked leaning with the bag of Corn nuts near the slurp machine "I said a big gulp of diet Cocacola, I'm Adam by the way…Adam shine, you ever gonna tell me your name?" Asked Adam as the angel chuckled "I'll end the suspense my name is Lucifer at your service" he said as Holds a hand out as Adam touched it but felt some sort of electrical spark up his arm as he mentally shook his head.
This was so wrong and part of the V's and yet felt so….right "Soooo Lucifer the thing you pulled in the caf today was pretty intense" said Adam as Lucifer shrugged "The extreme always seems to make a big impression" he shrugged sipping his Slurpee "you got me on that and I am guessing that is your bike out in front?" He asked as Lucifer smiled "Yupp its a pretty sweet ride modded it myself I think it adds to my aesthetic" he said as Adam blushed inside "so what's a Baudelaire-quoting motorcycling-riding badass like you doing here in Pentagram city?" He asked as Lucifers smile briefly slid off his face but recovered "My adopted moms works she owns a deconstruction company" said Lucifer as Adam was confused "Deconstruction?" Asked Adam curious "yeah turned to deconstruction after well a lawsuit made her lose her license to be a lawyer as some sort of turn around, you seen the advertisements?" He asked as Adam pondered recalling a advertisement of a angel dressed like a male conruction comical toon blowing up a building as he realized.
"That's your moms company?" She asked as Lucifer nodded "In all her toxic denying duty but I guess that is everyones life it has static at times, is your life perfect?" He asked as Adam rolled his eyes "Oh yeah I'm on my way to a party at Strikers with the three most popular demons in school" he said dryly "you remember Striker from the cafeteria?" He asked "The imp or the shark?" Asked Lucifer "The imp" said Adam as Valatinos voice screeched through the open doors of the store "AAAAAAADDDDDDDAAAAAAMMMMMMM!" He yelled as the chubby angel sighed exasparated "No my lifes not perfect, I dont really like my freinds" he said sad as he wondered why he joined the V's for popularity that wasn't working out but cant quit. As Lucifer laughed "I dont really like your freinds either, crazy suggestion *Guestures to the bags of snacks* bag the party and hang here" he said "What in a 7-eleven *Scoffs* fancy first date" he said as Lucifer play pouted "Hey I happen to love this place" said Lucifer as Adam quirked a eyebrow "Oh I bet there is a story about that?" He asked as Lucifer smirked "there is and I hope you dont mind the tale" said Lucifer as he began to sing.
Lucifer: I've been though ten high schools they start to get blurry
No point planting roots cause you're gone in a hurry
My mom keeps two suitcases packed in the den *leans on a snack stand* so its only a matter of when.
I dont learn the names dont bother with faces all I can trust *Waves a arm at the whole store* is this concrete oasis
Seems every time I'm about to despair there's a 7-eleven right there
Each store is the same from Las Vegas to Boston Linoleum aisles that I love to get lost in
*Wave a arm at the Slurpee machine as Adam watched* I pray at my alter of slush *Gets a fresh batch of Slushies* yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush
He then took a sip of his slushy as he smirked at Adam as he looked at the pale angel as said Pale angel smirked .
Freeze your brain suck on that straw get lost in the pain
Happiness comes when everything numbs who needs Cocain?
Freeze your brain
Freeze your brain
Adam was in awe and a bit jelious at possibly all the many slurrpies Lucifer drank and didn't gain a pound as Lucifer chuckled and held the drink out "Care for a hit?" He asked as Adam smirked "Does your mama or papa know you eat all that crap?" He asked as Lucifer had a solum look "Not any more" he said sighing as he got back his smile.
When my sister and my girlfriend was alive we lived halfway normal
But now its just me and my mom were less formal
I learned to cook pasta, I learned to pay rent
Learned the world dosent owe you a cent *Gently pats Adams head*
you're Planning your future Adam Shine you'll go to some college and marry a lawyer
But the skys gonna hurt when it falls so you better start building some walls…
Lucifer then takes another sip as he sighed deeply
Freeze your brain swim in the ice
Get lost in the pain shut your eyes tight
Till you vanish from sight Let nothing remain
Freeze your brain
Shatter your skull fight pain with more pain
Forget who you are unburden your load
Forget that in six weeks you'll be back on the road
When the voice in your head says you're better off dead
Dont open a vein
Just freeze your brain *Prepares a second slushy for Adam*
Freeze your brain go on and freeze your brain…
Shows the slushy to Adam "Care for a hit?" He asked as Adam took it and slurped the appel flavored slushy…and had to winced but chuckled as Lucifer smiled "your cute when you laugh that way" he said as Adam blushed at that and cue louder honking and yelling. "I need to go sorry" said Adam as Lucifer held his Cup up "Good luck with those bitches you are gonna need it" said Lucifer as Adam nodded and paid for the snacks as he met with the V's and head to the party happy to learn the no named angels name…and wondering if he can go further with this odd spark he felt in himself.
Authors note: And that is the next chapter as Adam learns the name of the strange Angel who fought back against Striker and Chaz and going to a party…
