Karina POV
Arya is dragging me along to follow a guy we have never met to an unknown location.
A guy who could be an enemy.
A guy who could be an angel or a demon.
Great idea.
I try to wriggle out of her grip, but Arya's hands are like iron. Instead, I reach my hand into my back pocket and pull out my knife, then shove it up my sleeve. Now that I'm armed, I feel slightly better.
Doesn't mean I like the situation though.
"What are you doing?" I hiss to Arya. "Don't you know anything? This guy could be an angel or a demon. And you want us to follow him you moron?"
"Just trust me. He's not an angel or a demon. But he's not a human either. He's something new. I think we can trust him."
"How do you know that? If he's something different, he could be even more dangerous!"
"If he wanted to kill us, why did he save me from a bus?"
"Maybe he likes his meat fresh."
"Just shut up and walk. We can trust him. I know it. Call it freak angel powers."
"More like freak angel bulls-"
Then Arya stops and I crash into her, cutting me off mid-sentence.
The guy stops in front of an apartment block. He types something into a keypad and the door opens, and then he beckons us inside. After that, he starts climbing up some stairs, and I grudgingly follow. A few flights later, he pulls us into an apartment.
Once the door is closed, I pull out my knife.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I ask.
The guy chuckles slightly.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you. In fact, I'm here to help."
I'm about to ask what he means by that, when he sticks his fingers in his eye.
I kid you not. It was gross.
Then the guy pulls out something and throws it away. When he looks at me, I see that the brown of his eye is gone, and instead his eye is a deep purple. When he does the same to his other eye, I notice that the thing he pulled out was a contact lens.
"I don't know what I was expecting when I got us to follow this guy, but this is not it." Arya mutters in my ear.
"Everything will be explained in a minute." The guy says. Then he yells at the top of his voice, "LEELAH!"
"COMING" A voice yells back from somewhere. We hear some footsteps, then a scuffling sound. A thump, a crash, something smashing and a line of swearing that makes me cringe.
A girl walks into the room. She has brown hair that reaches past her shoulders, and her eyes are the same shade of purple as the guy. She's wearing jeans and a pink shirt with a sketch of a dragon on it. Her feet are bare, and her hair and face are wet. She also has a few leaves and a flower in her hair.
"I may have fallen over and gotten a vase smashed by accident." she announces. The guy rolls his eyes.
"Congratulations. Now, these are the girls you told me about. You can explain to them stuff. I'm getting a drink."
The guy leaves, and the girl similes at us.
"Right, hello. My name is Leelah, that was my twin Zander. We are witches; yes I know Zander is male, witch is a gender neutral term despite popular belief. That's why we have purple eyes. You guys are a demon and an angel, and I hope you're aware that you both have a price on your heads. We've decided to help you guys survive the next few weeks. That's why Zander bought you here. Any questions?"
"Lots." We reply in unison.Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since I updated. Anyway, you've got a new chapter! Yay! Thank you all so much for 800 reads! By the way, if you want me to follow you then leave a comment or vote for my story so I can find your account and I might follow you:)
SLIGHT TRIGGER WARNING BELOW
On a slightly more serious note, I'd like to say this: Zander and Leelah are both based off real people. They are based off Leelah Alcorn and Zander Mahaffery, two transgender teens who lived in the USA. Although they never met (as far as I knew) they both have very similar stories. Both were transgender and their families would not accept them. Because of this, they both could not cope and committed suicide. No one should have to suffer this way. Ever. Rest in peace you two: you shall be missed.
If ANY of you are having a hard time for ANY reason, please, stay strong. If you want to leave a message or PM me, I will reply and help in anyway I can. Seriously guys, I'm always here for you all. Come for any reason and I will help. Even if you just need someone to distract you from stuff, I will do my best. I swear on it.
Stay strong guys,
Dawn.
