The Hunted

"Akin akin!"
My young little sister ran to me.
"You're late boy"
I winced at my father's venomous tone. My tendrils curled closer to my body a few protecting my little sister. I took a step back still his hand collided with my face. I set my little sister behind me.
"What did I tell you about disobeying me boy?"
He reached for the whip and I teared up one tear streaming down my face. He half tore half pulled my shirt off exposing my already scarred torso. A crack and singeing pain streked up my side. My sister screamed and ran to her room. I tried to protect myself with my arms which soon were red and blossoming blisters. My back was the same away.
"I don't want to see you ever again Sub you or your sister. Take her and go!"
I started sobbing and grabbed my shirt going to pack my things. I managed to get me and my sister's clothing in one duffle bag putting most of her things in a back pack. I put the bags on my stinging bleeding shoulders collecting my sister. It was approaching seven o'clock maybe the angel could help. She sobbed into my chest and I soothed her.
"Akin"
"It's alright naysa"
She nodded and slowly calmed as I ran towards the camp she saw it and panicked. I explained to her about the angel and knocked on his window. He opened the window and helped me in not noticing the burdens I had.
"Little one what happened and who is this?"
"This is my little sister"
"Akin?"
"It's alright"
"Is akin your name?"
"No it's Sub Subzero"
"My name is Martin truly but I go by Bodil it's my angel name"
"This is Natasha my father kicked us out"
"You're always welcome to stay with me"
"How the sorcerers?"
"Not here"
"Where?"
"Heaven"
A smile slipped onto my face. Bodil smiled and set a hand on my head. Everything fell to black. I woke up to a comfortable bed around me. My little sister was sleeping soundly against me curled up in my arms. I got up tucking me in. I heard talking and followed the noise. Two men I had never seen were talking to Bodil. I watched shyly and like always Bodil noticed me.
"Ahh here he is this is Sub, Sub this is my friends Simon, Baki, and...never mind"
Simon patted Martin's shoulder and Martin sighed softly. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. I hated to see him sad. Simon and Baki jerked away when the saw my tendrils.
"Martin that's...that's a slender" Baki stammered.
"He's not like the other's he's quite intelligent"
"Are you saying my kind is stupid?"
"No I'm saying moral wise"
"Oh ok thanks"
"Well he doesn't seem bad"
Did all angels have an accent? Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Simon went to answer it. A man with brown hair and bright brown eyes stepped in.
"Hi may names Ryan" he said to me.
"Mines Sub"
