We sat up & saw two people, a woman with a guy, the same pair I saw in the park. I stood up & brushed myself off. “You ok Angel Face?” I nodded. “Yeah Ty I'm fine, a few broken bones, but hey; I've been one to heal fast.” I looked up at the people, & they both bowed. “To think we found the child of the most famous Angels in heaven, & the ones closest to God at that!” the girl said. “And to think that I was a big enough fool to not realize. Sister, I apologize.” The girl smiled & patted the man on the back. “It’s ok Brother!” We stared at them with a look of confusion. “Oh…! I'm sorry I just can’t contain my excitement!” Then Ty stepped in. “Look we don’t know what shit you’re on but just leave us alone.” We started to walk away when a circle of darkness surrounded the four of us in the area. “No, stay please.” We stopped & saw the strangers sit down in white chairs. “Sit… we have business with Angelica Smith, & under the current circumstances, you as well Tyler Jones.” the man said. We turned around & saw two similar white chairs behind us. I sat down while Ty slowly sat down on the arm of mine, nerves about the whole situation & I don’t blame him. “The fact you sit on the arm of my chair proves you’re my bitch FYI.” He snorted. “Considering the situation we’re in, I won’t argue with you... this time.” I smiled, patted his thigh & looked at the people in front of us. “So who are you & how the hell did you find me?” “We-” the girl smiled at the man. “Oh, can I answer Nightfall?” he nodded. “That is fine with me, but you must make it short.” the girl giggled. “You are the only Angel born on Earth after all… why wouldn’t we come Angelica?” I stared at them. “Look I know that I ran track & stuff but, c’mon; you guys are pushing this Angelic thing too far. & what's up with your skin; is it for cosplay?” I thought they were the people from the park, but maybe I was wrong; the girl had blue skin, like the sky & the man was literally pitch black. The girl shook her head. “I can’t believe that your parents never told you… then again they did die before they had the chance.” I looked her with hatred in my eyes; my parents are a touchy subject to me. “How do you know about my parents?” she smiled. “Allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm Skyfall, Angel of the Sky & this is my… brother Nightfall, Angel of the Night. It’s a pleasure to meet you again. We met at the park earlier remember?” The girl, Skyfall was very friendly. Like I said she had blue skin, the color of the sky, her ears were pointed at the tips with one cross earring on her right ear. She wore a sky blue dress with random white patterns all over it, a yellow necklace around her neck with no shoes. Her hair was to the back of her knees, still in pigtails. Her wings were big falcon ones that were sky blue with random white patterns all over. Nightfall had on similar attire; a black suit with a black crescent moon necklace on, white dots that looked like stars all over, his ear was also pierced like his sisters. His long black hair was to his mid-back. His wings were black with a white outline… like the stars. “When we met earlier you looked nothing like that.” She smiled. “Yeah… angels have to hide their true appearance unless it’s necessary to show ourselves.” “Skyfall… I've heard your name before; you were a friend of my father’s… but Angel of the Sky?” she nodded. “The big angel humans see in the clouds… you’re looking at her!” Ty looked at me like I was crazy. “You’ve got to be shitting me right, c’mon so a few crazy fans think you're a real angel, big whoop.” he stood up, & that made Skyfall kinda upset because she turned the same color as Nightfall, deep black, like a storm cloud. Her voice became rougher. “I can assure you, Angels can’t lie, & even if we could, we wouldn't have anything to gain from lying.” a bolt of lightning struck near his feet. We looked at Skyfall, scared for our lives. The man put his hand on her shoulder. “Forgive her; our powers are sensitive to emotion.” Nightfall spoke with a voice like black silk like before; it calmed me even though he had huge wings coming out of his back. “We are here for the meeting your father spoke of Angelica.” He lightly smiled at me. “What, I hate it when people stare at me…” he shook his head. “No, just… you are more beautiful up close than from Heaven, just like your parents said. in the park, I noticed it then, however… I was too shy to say anything.” I turned my gaze to the side. “T-Thanks I guess…” I glanced back at him; he had a lovely smile. “It is my pleasure.” We awkwardly stared at each other when Ty coughed to break the silence. “You think you can lower the black… thing surrounding this place?” Nightfall nodded & waved his hand; the black bubble retreating. I noticed the sky was darkened just like Skyfall. As she calmed down, the sky began to return to its normal color. “So Dad said you wanted to talk to me about something...” I looked at Ty he was scared; I saw it in his eyes. “If you want to go home, then you can g-” “He cannot I am afraid, he has seen our real form, so now he is involved.” Nightfall said. “Fine then, so new question; why the hell are you all here?” Skyfall, finally calmed down spoke this time. “Well silly God wants you to join His on Earth Angel Force! Won’t this be fun? You can be just like your parents!” my jaw dropped. “I'm no angel trust me, I mean have you heard how I talk, c’mon now.” They shook their heads. “It does not matter how you speak, but what you do with your gifts. In your school you are the fastest & the most helpful, these traits make an Angel.” Nightfall spoke with a huge grate of confidence in his voice, as if he knew me. He suddenly turned his head to the side. “I-I mean… that is what your parents say about you anyway…” Skyfall took his place. “Angelica, think about what your parents did for a living… they helped people, saved lives. They were Guardian Angels originally sent to work together, but they fell in love, & had you, the only Earth born angel ever.” I smirked, the smart-ass smirk I was born with.
“So where are my wings huh?”
“They will develop do not worry. But soon, demons will try & kill you… we came to protect you. An angel’s powers mature when they are 8 if they are born in heaven, or when they reach their 16th birthday when they die; for me & Skyfall, it was when we turned 16 because we died before hand.”
I felt a strange feeling in between my shoulder blades. A voice tickled my ears. “You will have strong, beautiful ones, like your mother did. A beautiful black & pink; sounds lovely. Most likely eagle style, but… hmmm; feels like a dove.” Nightfall was rubbing in between my shoulder blades, as if he was searching for something. His touch made me shiver & I stood up rapidly. I never liked embarrassment, I always feel sick. “Oi, oi, oi watch the hands buddy.” Skyfall stood up & her falcon rested on her shoulder; I noticed that it was sky blue & very large, even for a bird of prey. “Hold the fuck up; that’s a falcon!!!” I sighed at Ty. “Thank you Captain Obvious…” I muttered as I pushed Nightfall’s hands off of me. “Cloud says that there are people coming from a half mile away, is there someplace more private we can talk?”
“Wow… so this is what a human American house looks like; it’s so cool!” I shrugged, not really pressed about the whole thing as Skyfall excitedly ran around. “It’s nothing to shake a stick at really… compared to other houses in this area, mine is on the small side.” Nightfall shook his head. “Where we lived before it had only 5 rooms; this included a kitchen, laundry room & a bathroom. Your home is wonderful; thank you for welcoming us into it.” Nightfall bowed deeply to me; I nodded & whispered to Ty. “Amazing how their skin color changed when we went out into public huh? They looked like that at the park.” Skyfall had become a pale color while Nightfall was black, like a milk chocolate, just like in the park today. Ty sat down, putting his hand over his face in exhaustion. “Honestly, if I hear anything else about angels, I'm gonna shoot myself.” I offered them something to drink, but they rejected. “Since angels are dead we don’t need the energy, but thanks though.” I shrugged. “Suit yourselves-!” what they said a second ago hit me. “So wait you two are…” Skyfall nodded. “Yep, we died in 1863. A fire broke out in our home in Japan. I became angel of the sky cause it was the last thing I saw & same with my brother here. He did exactly twelve hours later, staring at the starless night sky. Because of the night & sky being connected, our job requires us to work together; so we’re never really apart, even in death! In any case, I can’t stand being separated from him-” Night smiled gently. “& I cannot stand being separated from her.” Skyfall clung to her brother as he gently smiled; they were so cute that I couldn’t help but giggle a little. “What?” I shook my head. “Nothing, just that… most siblings today hate each other; you two won’t leave each other’s side.” Skyfall looked at her brother, snuggling next to him. “When we died, & got to Heaven, we promised to never part again; it was too painful.” I nodded. “How old were you?” Night thought for a moment. “Let me think; it has been roughly 200 years so… I think one of us was 13… the other was 15. It was over with quickly however.” I gasped, they died so young. “I'm sorry…” I held my head down. Skyfall’s voice seemed to faultier, like she was falling asleep. “Make her transform Nightfall, it’ll make her feel better I think. Girls like that kind of stuff…” This time even Ty looked up. “Transform…? What do you mean transform.” Nightfall spoke up. “Our powers are sensitive to emotion, so this might do it for you, assuming what we learned about you was correct.” Nightfall walked over to me after shooting out that quick response. He held my cheeks in his hands. He had big dark brown eyes; I could see my reflection in them. “Hey what the hell are you gonna d-mhp!!!” he kissed me right on the lips, putting his tongue into my mouth as I tried to protest. The power was stolen from my body; my hands fell to my sides as he somehow deepened the kiss even more. “HEY GET OFF HER!!!” Ty pushed him off of me. I was burning with embarrassment as Nightfall fell to the ground; hell I thought I would pass out at any given moment. He only stared at me & blushed. “Your father would kill me if he could...” I touched my lips. “Y-Y-You… you just s-s-stole my first kiss… WHY YOU FUCKING… C’MERE!!!” I went to hit him as Skyfall counted down. “In 3…2…1… boom!” suddenly a bright pink light engulfed me. I felt myself rising into the air. I saw a pink glow engulf my feet, moving up. Just as soon as it began it ended, I gently landed back on the couch & passed out.
