"I know I’m pretty but did you have to stare at me the entire song? The people around me were staring to get the wrong idea,” Lucas smirks, his wings folding behind him tightly.

“I don’t have time for your games Lucas, we need to talk.” I glare up at him.

His smirk doesn’t falter, “I’m not playing games,” he says innocently.

“Yes, you are!” I growl. What the hell is his problem? The Marshy voice asks. Like this dude has some serious issues… well he is a fallen.

He laughs, “Okay, okay, fine we’ll talk. Follow me.” He leads me towards ‘The House’ clearing our way through the people. When we make it through the stoop I head towards the couch but Lucas continues forward to the emergency exit which leads to in between The Garage and another warehouse.

I freeze by the couch.

“Coming?” He asks raising an eyebrow. Or are you scared of something?” He smirks mischievously.

“Going into a dark alley at eleven o’clock at night with a fall is on my ‘no-no’ list, after rapist and serial killer,” I grunt crossing my arms.

“Do you think I’ll hurt you?” he asks, his voice softening showing a hint of hurt.

Yes! The voice in my head said, but he looks so sincere, a hint of desperation in his icy blue eyes; and besides breaking my finger (which he technically did in a dream) and accidently causing my car accident, he has never hurt me before.

“No,” I say softly stepping forward, following him out of the club and into the alley. It was relatively quiet aside from the noise coming from the front of the building. Lucas headed towards the back letting his wings spread out the length of the alley making a void that blocked my view. I no longer had the desire to touch, after I did the first time I was hit with a force of sadness as strong as the force that I was hit with when I touched Jessie’s. Now I want to study them, to compare and contrast Jessie and Lucas’ wings, to see if there really was a difference between the heavenly and the damned.

We make it to the back of the club and I half expected a group of fallen/ demons to jump me and possess my body, but all was clear. Lucas leans against the wall, his wings spreading out against it. I stand a good five feet away from him.

“You awakened me,” I frown crossing my arms, resting my body weight on my hip.

“Yes, we’ve established that,” Lucas says crosses his arms as well, not looking at me.

“Why did you avoid me? I knew you could’ve told me what you did; Jessie told me you could.”

He scoffs at the mention of Jessie. “Yeah, the angel told you the ‘big bad fallen’ put you in mortal danger then ditched you to fend for yourself. I’m not that cruel Alexis.”

“You didn’t answer my question,” I grunt.

He groans. “Yes, I knew and yes I was avoiding you but that’s because I was told to by your guardian angel.”

“I’ve always had the impression that you didn’t like Jessie, why start listening to him now?”

“Because it’s his job to keep you safe and while I often question his judgment and pointedly disapprove his methods, you have been overall safe.”

“What does my wellbeing have to do with you?” I ask using more attitude than intended. “Is it because I took like Leia?”

His eyes darken when I say her name, the same flash of hurt briefly showing in his eyes every time she’s mentioned. “It’s more than that Alexis;” he growls, “you are her! Her exact copy!”

I glare at him not letting my confusion show on my face. “I’m not this Leia person! Obviously she was blessed like me and you awakened her and got her possessed and you had to kill her to free her body, I got all that; I got that you loved her too, but all has nothing to do with me!” I uncross my arms and put my hands on my hips. “The only thing we have in common is being blessed and being awakened by you.”

He shakes his head and pushes off the wall with his wings stepping forward. “No, that’s not it. I couldn’t figure out why this happened but then I got it. Alexis, you’re Leia’s reincarnation; you share the sane soul and for some reason the same body.” He takes another step closer, his eyes rooting me to the ground.

Grabbing my arms, he bends down so that our eyes are level. “Alexis, you are Leia; from the way you speak to the way you walk; the face you make when you stare off into space, the way your cheeks dimple when you smile, the twinkle in your eye when you pretend to be mad when you’re not…” He had that far off look in his eye again. He blinks at me and straightens so that he’s looking down on me again.

I don’t know what to say so I just stand there and gawk at him like an idiot. “You- you’ve been watching me.” I sputter.

He runs his hand through my hair, looking me in the eye. “Since 1920.”

I could feel the back of my neck heat up and my face getting puffy. You’re blushing! The Marceline voice yells. Stop blushing! I try to bite back my blush by biting my lip; I didn’t realize my lip biting was sending the wrong message until Lucas’ lips were smashed against mine.

My mind went fuzzy on impact and it was like I was instantly on cloud nine. I wrap my arms around his neck and rake my finger through his hair, pressing our lips together hungrily. I wanted this bad, more than I was willing to admit to myself. He grabs my waist pulling me closer to him; his wings cocoon us, submerging us into a void of nothingness, nothing but each other. Lucas pulls me tighter and I kiss him harder moaning in his mouth. He cups my ass and I pull his hair, arching my back as I claw into the top of his shoulder.

Kiss Lucas just felt, on cheesiest terms, right, like I’ve been waiting all my life to be in his arms.

The arms of a fallen.

I tore myself away from Lucas, flinging my back into his wings. Pain, I was instantly engulfed in pain and sorrow, the same as when I first touched his shrouded but so much worse now that I was awakened.

He opened his wings and let them curl behind his back; my body fell against a wall, hard. I start to hyperventilate, trying hard not to start sobbing. I was just kissing a fallen, someone I should fear. What the hell is wrong with me?

“Alexis-“Lucas starts when suddenly my phone starts to ring.

I quickly check the caller ID: Marceline the Vampire Queen.

“Yeah, Marsh?” I ask after I answer the phone, avoiding Lucas’ eye.

“Where the hell are you?! You better not have run off, 'cause I swear to god…”

“Calm your tits Marsh, I’m coming.”

“We go on in five, you be here in two.”

“I'm already on my way.” I hang up and turn to Lucas who had a blank expression on his face. I open my mouth to say something but could think of no words, so I do the only thing I could; I ran back inside.
