Apocalypse Love

I Stand With You

I returned back to the room to see Michael laying in bed. Everything James March had told me seemed to run a mile in my head. Michael slowly woke up as he sat up in his bed. "Hey, you're back" he yawned before standing from the bed. He walked over to me "Did you know?" I asked him. "Know what?" He asked back. "That I'm not only an angel, but a demon and witch?" I asked him. "When I first met you I had no idea what you were but my father showed me. You are all things Athena. Good, evil. You are light and darkness. You have a choice and so many of them" he pointed out. My mind flickered to Cordelia "If the coven finds out, they'll burn me at the stake" I sigh. "No, they won't. Not if I become Supreme" Michael tells me. "I will change everything wrong with that coven, I will write the wrongs it has done" he stated. "Now the only question is will you help me?" He asked me. "isn't it obvious by now? I stand with you Michael. I always have" I say.  Suddenly my lips crashed onto his. I then quickly pulled back, feeling like a fool as Michael looked a little shocked. "I should..." I lowered my head but when I tried to walk away Michael grabbed my wrist. He reached out and placed his hand on my cheek. He pressed his lips onto mine and something deep inside lit, the flames I once thought burned out were now rising in my body. Michael hands traveled from my to my sides and traveling down to the back of my knees before picking me up. My arms immediately wrapped around his neck as my legs clung to his hips before he had walked me over to the bed.
   My eyes fluttered open and Michael laid next to me, his eyes closed. He snores lightly as he slept soundly. I leaned over to him, placing a kiss on his lips. "Morning..." I greeted. He suddenly sat up in the bed "What time is it?" He asked me. "10, I think" I stated. He let out a sigh "We've got to get dressed, if I don't get to school we're both going to raise suspicion with our headmasters" Michael pointed out as he climbed out of the bed and began to pick up his clothes off the floor. "Besides, you promised to teach me what you know" he added. I climb out of bed and begin to get dressed. "I thought I did that last night" I joke. "Ha, funny. But if I'm not mistaken, I was teaching you" he teased me. "How about we agree to disagree?" I suggested as I tied my hair into a ponytail and put on my jacket. "Come here..." He offered me his hand and soon as I take it we suddenly popped back into the library. I looked around the dark lit library "Ugh, can we go back?" I asked him. "Sorry, Princess I need to start practicing" he lightly touched under my chin. "Fine" I sigh and followed him as he walked towards the bookcase. "What will we need?" He asked me. "Pryokinese, which you obviously didn't have no problem using against the Countess" I say to him. "So we should just skip that?" He asked. I shake my head "No, Michael if you want to complete the Seven Wonders you can't just skip your way through it. The devil spawn or not" I blurted out. "Hey, if you keep calling me the devil's spawn you'll give me no choice to start calling you March Jr" he informed me. I narrowed my eyes at him "Whatever, fine but I'm serious Mikey, this isn't something to take lightly" I grab books off the shelves before handing them to him.
  "Hey! You going to the gathering tonight?" Ariel asked me as I exited the library. I had been here two months and the men here have treated me like there own, which was a little weird but nice ar the same time. "What's a gathering?" I questioned. "It's a dinner that all of us men attended, we dine together and play music and tell stories of our past warlock leaders" he spoke. "Uh...I don't know. I'm a girl, a witch" I pointed out. "But you're helping Michael And besides...We know you're not just only a witch" he smirked. Panic hit and I shifted uncomfortably. "Don't worry, your serect is safe with us" he stated. "Us?" I repeated. "The ones who truly know what Michael is. Ripley myself Ms.Meads" he tells me. "You've seen Ms.Meads?" I asked him. He knit his brows brows together "But...Michael didn't tell you that this is all because of her?" He asked me. I shake my head "No..he certainly did not" I hissed out. "Well, I hope to see you at the gathering. Take care" he lowered his head before quickly walking away. "Damn spawn of the devil..." I mumbled before walking off. I opened Michael door to see him studying. "You should learn to knock , it only polite" he tells me. "If this is gonna work between us you are gonna have to let me in Michael" I tell him. "What happened?" He groaned. "Ariel, he knows what I am and to make it all worse Ms.Meads had been helping you all this time. Even now and you haven't said a word about her" I pointed out. "You have to start telling me things and not after you've already decided them. You want me to stand by you, to be by your side then I need to know what in for. That's all I ever asked" I tell him.  "Ms.Meads is helping" he smirked. "Ugh!" I stomp my foot in the wooden floor. "You are so annoying sometimes Michael Langdon." "Okay, you're right. I'm sorry. I'll start involving you more in things we do" he appoarched me. "Including the murder of Baldwin" he added. "What?!" I hiss out. "He knows something, maybe even saw something and we can't have him running to Cordelia and telling her everything" he explained. "What do you need me to do?" I asked. He shakes his head "It's already being taken care of. Tonight we could sneak away from the gathering and join Ms.Meads?" He suggested. "You want to see her?" He asked me. "Yeah, I do..." I nodded. "Okay, I'll see you tonight" he the presses his lips onto mine before he returned back to his studying.
