One Thousand Years In The Dark

Jake, Koda, Dean and Riley

"You know what we have to do?" I asked when we were walking around outside.

"What?" Thomas picked me up and threw me on his back. "You're light Al!"

"We should try zip lining, theres a place not far from here." I laughed. "Hey who's that talking to Koda?"

"I  don't know I dont remeber seeing him anywhere." Tristan looked over. "Lets go talk to them... Hey Koda!"

Koda looked over and started to walk to us motioning for his friend to follow.

"Hey Tristan." Koda waved. "Jake this is Tristan Thomas and ugh Alice." He said motioning to us.

"Hey Jake." We replied in unison.

He nodded at us in return.

"How old are you Jake?" Thomas asked after several moments of silence.

"Im sixteen how about you guys?" He had a British accent. His skin was a very light brown and he had black hair that hung slighly over his blue eyes. He was tall and skinny and wore all black clothing.

"And you're an Angel?" Tristan asked looking him up and down.

"Yup, look im just suprised as you. Was never the religous type." He started picking at his fingernails as I climbed down from Thomas's shoulders.

"Neither was I." Koda exclaimed eagerly. He seeemed to crave jakes aproval, it looked like he started walking and dressing like him.

I looked Koda up and down. I hadn't seen him since the first day there. He looked a little different now he had a pointed nose and brown eyes. His black hair was spiked up into a strange style and he looked like he had just bitten into a lemon. He had a normal deepish voice and he was standing a weird way. I wondered how someone compltely awful became an angel. He was sixteen like Jake.

"Well it was nice to meet you." Jake said after several more moments of silence.

He started walking away and as Koda passed me he stepped on my foot.

"Dont worry about them, those guys are dicks." I turned around and saw a guy and a girl standing next to eachother.

"Im Dean." The boy said. "This is Riley." He jabbed his thumb at the girl next to him.

Dean had brown hair and green eyes. He wore a green t-shirt with a flanel cover over it. He had blue jeands on and running shoes, Riley on the other hand had black hair with purple tips. Her eyes were hazel and she was short copared to Dean.

"Both of us are fourteen and we were friends in our past lifes." He waited for us t introduce ourselfs. When we didnt say anything he said, "Alice right? And you're Tristan? And I dont think we've ever met." He stook his hand out to Thomas who shook it.

"Thomas." he nodded. "So I wonder if you were frends did you both die at the same time?"

"It was the same day. We were at school and there was a shooting, then I woke up here next to Dean." Riley explained. Dean nodded.

"Well we should go. It was awesome meeting you guys." Dean directed a smile at each of us and walked off with Riley.

"Wow what're the odds that they both became angels?" I wondered out loud. The rest of the day we spent zip lining and jumping on the trampolines. That night we met up with Lilly and went to go eat dinner.

"So I think I've met everybody." I said biting into the chicken that I got.

"Except for the archangels" Thomas replied. He was braiding Lillys hair.

"Yea when do we get to meet them!?" Lilly asked.

"Michael didnt say but I assume we meet them before we meet the demons." Tristan explained.

"You think?" I wondered.

"Well the superioirs will probably want to tell us what we can and can't do and what we are supposed to say don't you think?" Tristan sounded extremly bored as he started looking around the cafeteria. After a minute or two he got up and left, telling us that he'll see us latter. 

Me and Thomas looked at eachother with confused looks but Lilly looked around happily like nothing had happened. After a minute or two she walked away as well. 

Thomas looked at me again with the same expression as before and shook his head. 

"Leys go find them."
