Chaos

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

“No not next question! Why did you save me?” Dawne stared at him angrily. 

“Why should I indulge you? Next question.” The man sounded annoyed and uninterested. 

“Fine...what’s your name?” 

“I’m a fallen angel, sitting in front of you, totally visible and you ask me my name?” 

Dawne felt mildly embarrassed but just shrugged. 

“Very well. My name is Chaos.” Dawne furrowed her brow at the strange name.

“...and you’re a fallen angel.” 

“yes.” 

“Care to elaborate?” She watched as the man looked everywhere but her. 

“No.” He sighed and fiddled with a necklace around his neck. 

“Well then. Why did you betray Yahweh?” 

“What?” The man asked instantly.

“You are a fallen angel because you betrayed Yahweh. That’s the way it works isn’t it?” She suddenly felt foolish, wondering if she got that part of history wrong due to the amount of shock on his face. 

“Oh no, well yes..but no.” He paused and took a breath “I betrayed no one, I was born this way. My father is a fallen angel.” 

“And your mother?” She prompted 

“Don’t know, don’t care.” He said quickly. Dawne doubted his indifference. 

“Why couldn’t that man and his wife see us?” 

A hint of a dark smile crossed his face as a shadow from the chimney came creeping over to his side. He took a deep breath and exhaled quickly as the shadow surrounded his body and darkened. 

“You control darkness and shadows.” Dawne said in realization. 

“That among other things.” Chaos shrugged and the shadow shrank away. 

“Now it’s my turn.” Chaos flapped his wings and he rose from his sitting position to standing. 

“I wasn’t done!” Dawne scrambled to her feet. 

“Question one, what happened at the market?” 

“Nothing.” 

“I am not stupid Dawne.” She started at the sound of her name. 

“I do not know....” She said at last “I all of a sudden... I got a horrible head ache then I saw...I don’t know.” She flourished her hands about her body. 

“Lights surrounding peoples bodies, some brighter than others?” 

“Yes that’s exactly it!!” She thought he would think she was crazy. 

“They are called aura’s and everybody has one. I can see them too.” He said quickly. 

“Now did anything else happen? Any unexplainable new qualities about you?” 

“No why?” 

“It’s not your turn to ask questions!” Chaos’s voice sounded extremely irritated. 

“Alright. Sorry.” She felt hurt at his anger for some reason yet not frightened.

“No I’m sorry...” He turned around suddenly and looked around sighing. “I’m just having a hard time concentrating...” Suddenly he closed his eyes tight and grabbed his head. 

“What’s wrong?” Dawne asked tentatively afraid of another out burst. 

“We are going to have to cut our question and answer session short tonight.” He was holding his necklace in a tight fist and his face looked pained. 

“Wait but- I’m not done questioning you!” 

“We will talk again.” He turned his back to her and she watched his muscles ripple across his back as he flapped his wings. 

“When?” She cried out as wind whipped around her small frame. 

“I’ll find you.” And with that he glided into the night, barely visible against the velvety dark night sky.
