Snow was all over the room. I was freezing, still in my father’s old undershirt. I hugged Night tighter, trying to keep warm; he was in his angel form, his wings wrapped around us like a blanket. “Stay quiet…” he whispered. I never noticed this; his wings had a gold & white dotted pattern on the inside of his wings as well as on the outside. I heard the crunching of snow coming towards us & it got colder. “So disgraceful… have you forgotten your teachings of no premarital sex Nightfall?" the voice was female as she kept talking. "Did you learn nothing as a result of being born?” Night clicked his tongue & I yelled out. "Bitch, bet you won't say it aga-mph!!!!" Night covered my mouth as the woman sighed, annoyed. “Tch; my coming into being on Earth does not concern you Snow." “You make me sick… you & your sister.” I noticed the slight Russian accent, but the tone of it was like ice; harsh, cold & demanding. “Careful now, my sister looks up to you greatly; if she made you that sick, you wouldn’t have agreed to help train her when she asked you to.” She seemed to get frustrated.
“My past aside, why are you having sex with this woman?”
“I am n-”
“Save it, I can see her bare legs wrapped around yours. Father would be disappointed to see how easily you can sub come to sin. However given you & your sister’s entire existence, I am not that surprised.”
"She said it again. I'm gonna kill her."
When I paid attention to how I was seated on Night, it did look like I was… straddling him. Night didn't change his facial expression, but I could tell he was embarrassed… & really pissed. “You have that wrong Snow… we have just woken up. It also does not help when you freeze the room when she was going to change clothes. Should I let her freeze to death instead?" the woman scoffed. "You have other methods to keep her warm." I tried peeking my head up from his wings, but he tugged my arm down as a signal to stay down. “Father sent me to pick up Ai…” I tensed up at my other name. How does she know me… maybe it’s because I didn't deliver the soul? “What kept you from immediately coming down?” I heard a sigh. “When she learned her true name, it gave me permission to find her. I know you & Skyfall are her trainers, so where is she?” I felt something hard move across my abdomen; it was Star Blade. “What the hell are you doing?” I hissed. “Willing to fight me are we? The night is over Nightfall, you are too weak… & a civilian at that is in your arms. Back in Heaven, you could never beat my Ice Shards. What makes you think you have a chance now?” I became worried. “Does she know my human form?” I saw him slightly move his head. I took my hands & tried to spread his wings apart. I felt him struggling to keep them closed. I was trying my hardest but couldn’t move them. Suddenly I felt us move, a cold blast hitting my feet. They dangled & I couldn’t feel the ground. I was somehow still being cradled in his wings like a newborn. I'm not sure how he was flying but I didn't care, so long as he didn't drop me. I felt his clothes on his chest… hm. I looked at his chest, now covered. “Look don’t be mad for this…” I parted his kimono slightly, while being jerked side-to-side. Guess we were dodging attacks. I saw his face peek in & look at me. “What are you doing Angel F- ha…?” I kissed his bare skin; he jerked in surprise, wings wings immediately opening. I was free falling from about 150 feet up, changing forms. My hair & dress were flying all over the place. “KIRAI C’MERE BOY, COME TO ME!!!” I saw my new friend jump up into the air & gently catch me in his mouth. “Good boy…” I landed on the ground with a small thud. My pumps crunched on the ground once Kirai let me go. I had on purple tights & red gloves on my hands to keep me warm. My heels had become heeled boots. There was fake black fur around my neck. “Huh… it’s still frilly as crap but hey, keeps me warm.” someone landed next to me. “This is her!?!” the woman… I'm guessing her name was Snow, was an albino woman. Her hair was straight & white along with her skin, however she had white eyes, pointed ears, the cross earring, the works. What surprised me were the clothes. She wore a light blue & white gown of sorts, one sleeve & light blue snow boots. A light blue scarf covered her mouth, & a long scar ran down her left eye. She held 2 knives like things in her hand. “What are those…?” Night flew next to me, buttoning his shirt back up. “Ice Shards, her Angel Weapon. Snowflake, this is Angelica Smith… or Ai, the Angel of Love.” Snow was stunned.
“My true name is Shpetlana, but you may call me Snow because it is my rename.” I nodded. “Well, it’s nice to meet you Shpetlana. You heard Night already, but my name is Angelica, but most call me Angel.” We got back into the house & got all the snow melted. I had sat down & brought coffee out. Night was yelling at me all the while. “Introductions aside, I still cannot believe that you kissed me to make me let go of you & on my chest no less! You do not have your wings yet; you could have died.” I shrugged & sat next to him. “Kirai caught me, don’t worry.” I pet Kirai’s head as he wagged his tail.
“Sides don’t lecture me about free falling without wings, because if I do remember correctly, you threatened to drop me once if I didn’t transform in mid air.”
“That was for training purposes.”
“You dropped me still!”
“If Kirai would have been one second later you would be dead.”
I waved a hand around. “I know, I know, by the way nice wings… the gold & white coloring is really nice… suits your personality.” He blushed, turning his head to the side.
“Do not distract me from the main problem here; you are in so much trouble y-”
“Yeah, yeah you can scold me later; you want something to drink… um?”
I tried to hand her a cup but she hit my hand away. “SNOW…!” Night was pissed. “Oh quiet." she said, glaring at me.
"If you are a real angel Ai, why do you hang around him?"
"He's a nice enough guy."
"Don’t you know that he was born out of w-”
“SHPETLANA THAT IS ENOUGH!”
I hit Night on the head. “If you don’t stop yelling in my house!!!” he rubbed his head. “Tch… what will you do?” I glared at him. “Keep in mind that I'm able to stick you to a wall.” Shpetlana shook her head. “You two fight like an old married couple, you know that.” I felt my face get red. “WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!!!” we shouted in unison. "As for your question, how he was born doesn't concern me. I mean, what am I gonna do? Blame him for being born?" Sphetlana sighed heavily, standing up. “Father wants to have a meeting with you.”
“I can’t go & see God… are you insane Shpet?”
“No I am n- Shpet?”
“Your nick-name is Shpet; it’s a lot easier to say & remember than Shpetlana.”
She didn't seem to like that comment, but didn’t say anything else about it. “Trust me, He called this audience Himself.” I was stunned. “D-Did I do something wrong…?” she shook her head. “He did not tell me all the details, however I trust his judgment.” I fiddled with my earring, contemplating on if I should contact Skyfall first. “If it is about the other angel that has been residing with you, she is in Heaven already.” I nodded & looked at Night. “Well, do I have anything to worry about…?” he gave me a questioning look. “Why are you asking me?” I shrugged. “If you're scared, then I know if I have to be… & you’re never scared.” He pets my head, smiling. “Go on & change clothes, if you need anything, call.” I nodded & went to my room, Kirai close behind. I stared at my closet, looking at everything I had. I had a few dresses, then again I was going to see God, there's only so ratchet you can look in His opinion. I laid out a black & white striped dress, some jeans & gym shoes. Before I could get dressed I heard a knock on my door. “Yeah what is it?” I turned around & saw Night standing behind me. I covered myself & punched him in the gut. “THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU IDIOT!!!” he held his mid-section & spoke. “When we leave for Heaven… do not forget Lipstick Love or Kirai ok? That is all… ow.” I helped him up & threw on the jeans. “Fine just… when you knock, come in by opening the door next time.” he grunted. “N-Noted… tch ow...” He nodded & left. When I was done I stared at Kirai. He was in his full form, sleeping. “How the hell am I gonna carry him?” as if on cue he turned little & became his cute stuffed animal form. I picked him up & set him on the top of my head. He held on & continued sleeping. “So how do we get to Heaven? You gonna kill me Shpet?” Night snorted but she didn't look amused. “Like this…” a snow tornado erupted around us. I immediately began to freeze, but Night wrapped his wings around me, shielding me from the cold. When he opened his wings again, we were in the middle of a white marble court room style building. Night shook his wings & the snow fell off. I hesitantly stepped away from him.
“Wow… get me the name of your interior designer…” I looked up & saw countless angels all around me. Tons of different skin colors were all over. “Angelica, Nightfall… we’re over here guys, hey!” I turned & saw Skyfall & Flora, waving at us with excitement. I waved to them, but soon hit my head. “What is something wrong?” I nodded. “Yeah… I promised Roy that I would say hi to his parents when I eventually went to Heaven so…” suddenly, two people ran up to me. “Ai… you’re Ai right?” I nodded. “Yes; who are you?” they smiled warmly. “We’re Roy’s parents… we saw what you did for him a few months ago. We just so happened to over hear you just now” the woman said. I was stunned. Roy’s mother was tan like him, wavy blonde hair & was dressed in all white. She had a white bow in her hair as well as white glasses. His father was paler, a thin line of freckles & a mole on the right side of his mouth. He had a small beard forming. He was also blonde & wore a white suit. “I'm Rayden, & this is my wife Sandra. Please… can you talk to us about our son; we haven’t been able to talk to him & we know you take care of him at school so…” I nodded & began to walk with them. “W-Well… he tried out for football, but he didn’t make it, you know with his size & all that jazz. He’s a sweet kid but he can be a bit too trusting you know. But he’s a genius with mechanics. You'd be amazed. Once he started my stalled car at a light without jumper cables! Then he-” Shpet stopped me, standing in front of my path; I was about to leave the hall with his parents.
"Focus."
“Move Shpet; I owe them this much since I look after their son.”
“I cannot, you have a trial with Father, & you may not leave to talk to them."
"But-"
"We are leaving. Now. You need to change.”
She took hold of my arm & it was cold; so cold it burned. As we kept walking, I had enough; I thought my arm would fall off if it got any colder. My pain tolerance is pretty high, but not against frostbite this bad; I finally protested. “Ow, let go, that hurts!” she released my arm without a word; I saw frost cover where she had been holding it. Night rushed to my side when I had cried out in pain. “Are you ok; does it hurt anywhere?” he gently cradled my arm. I nodded. “Kinda; I mean it just burns a bit & it’s hard to move it, but I’ll live.” Night took a sigh of relief & glared at Shpet. “Snow, I will take her to her room; you can leave us now.” He put his arm around my shoulder & led me to a room.
