Divine Falls

Chapter 15: A New Light Emerges

I lay here for a moment unable to move or feel my legs at that. Pierce softly plants a kiss on it and I twitch still feeling the lingering kisses he just gave me. He gives me a quick kiss on the lips and pulls my panties back over my legs. He sits down next to me and I awkwardly sit up still in-between high and low. I'm actually confused because I thought he was going to do more. I want him to feel the pleasure I felt.

"I thought we were going to do more naked." I say, feeling shy suddenly. I never went all the way before so I'm not sure how to ask for it. I assume guys waste no time and have sex with you right away when the woman consents. I definitely did give Pierce more than permission. Xavier need to take some fucking lessons on that.

"Oh not tonight. I want to make sure you're at least safer so I can make it special. This was just a little taste tester." He says, winking at me. I bite my lip as a wave of nasty things that can be on his mind wash over me. It gives me chills. I quickly change into the dry clothes he gave me and scoot closer to him.

I trace over the tattoo on his neck seeing it more clearly in the light. "What does this mean?" I ask him. The black wings are so detailed with an inscription underneath it. It looks like the celestial symbol language but it has slightly different strokes in the symbols as if going opposite directions.

"It means wings of dark which is the mark of the demons. Everyone who follows Vane has it." He says. I almost forget he exists, the big bad of the bad. I haven't seen his face yet because he sends his minions to do his dirty job. I'm happy Pierce didn't get in too deep. He probably joined to make sure his brother is okay. I'd do the same for Leon.

"It doesn't look like it was pleasant getting it." I point out.

He sighs. "Trust me it wasn't. They brand it on you with hot ass steel. Forever marking you no matter where you go. My brother got his mark differently though when he wanted to remove his conscience altogether."

"Are you talking about when he let his dark side take over?" I ask

He nods. "That's what the spiritual turnover does. The brand etches into your skin. Then Vane has total control. Fuck that." He shakes his head. I bet all this information is in the black book if only I could read it.

" I um found a letter from my grandmother and this black book I can't read but, in the letter, she did say it will come to me eventually. Pretty sure my whole family knew about me." I don't want to think about me belonging to another family and them giving me up for whatever reasons. I don't think I can handle that kind of news when I haven't even swallowed being part angel with demons chasing me yet. "In the letter my grandmother said something about binding my abilities."

"That explains why my brother caused the accident. To activate your powers. If an angel was bound it was done to protect them but if you are in a state where you need them the binding breaks automatically. Vane wants you to be at your most powerful" He says.

My phone rings, vibrating the whole bed. It's my mother of course. Damn I didn't check in after school again. This woman is going to kill me and I feel an argument coming as soon as I get home. I silence my phone and look at Pierce.

"Well my mom might kill me first before he gets to see my powers. I have to go." I sadly say. I make a pouty face and he smiles and stands up holding out his hands. I raise an eyebrow intrigued on what he's thinking about.

"The fastest way home is to appear there." He says. I stand and take his hands, closing my eyes. The last time I did this it felt like my soul was leaving my body and I was just floating in the air. 

After a few seconds I open my eyes and I'm standing next to my front door. Damn that is faster. I hope nobody saw us pop up like that. He leans down to kiss me, slipping his hot tongue in my mouth savoring me like we never see each other again. My knees get weak.
