The Night in flames

It was Friday night around midnight and my mom came home once again, drunk, stumbling inside and up the stairs holding onto the railing tightly. As I peeked my head out and watched her struggle up the stairs I slowly came out of my room. I crept up the stairs and put my arm around her helping her to her bedroom and into her bed. As I went back down the stairs I heard a strange noise coming from my bedroom. I crept inside slowly, found a piece of broken wood with a nail sticking out I held it in my hand as I saw a shadow move across the wall. His bright ocean blue eyes glistened as the noise of wings fluttering filled my ears and I became even more alert. I looked around the room and saw a man’s shadow hovering in the corner. The man held his gaze and tho I had not ever seen the man with wings before he had some kind of familiarity. As I held the man's gaze I held my hand up and a flame so small flickered in my palm, it was just enough light to see the man's features. Instead of seeing a buff intimidating man, I saw a boy that seemed to be around his age. I let out a sigh of relief and spoke softly the fear leaving my voice as the words left my lips.“Hello...Who are you?” There was no response, just silence.

    “Sir, Please answer how about this…” I say softly “ I will introduce myself now and then it will be your turn okay?” The  fear-stricken boy nodded

  “My name is Camden. I am 17 years old and I am wondering why is it that you are in my bedroom and who you are?” I move closer and the boy flinches back a little but again I move forward to be able to see the boy completely. The boy's mouth opens a bit as he begins to say something barely audible.

    “M-my name is L-Leon. I am 17 years old as well and I am so sorry to have frightened you!” He says, his now pale blue eyes glistening with tears. “ I am sorry to be bothering you at this hour as well but if I don't take you...well you’ll be in grave danger and well w-we need you to be protected until you're ready.” I suddenly begin to get angry as I watch the tears fall from his eyes. I slam my weapon down on the floor as the flame goes out and we stand in darkness once again. I looked at Leon and his startled expression and let out a sigh. I roll My eyes and go into my small bathroom slamming the door as hard as I can while considering how old and small and brittle this house is the walls shakes  and I hear my mother gasp and get up. I hear the creaky floorboards as she climbs down the stairs. I sit on the bathroom floor after flipping the light switch, the brightness burning my eyes for a few seconds, I lean my head against the door and hear Leon shuffling around and I feel his fear and nerves through the door. He stands up slowly looking in the small cracked mirror in the bathroom. I close my eyes after looking over my features. My fluffy black hair fell over my eyes and I took deep breaths and washed my face with water. I exited the bathroom more calmly than I entered and looked at the poor scared boy in front of him. He took in a deep breath and looked up at me. 

“Camden, honey what's going on are you alright.” she says still stumbling over her words

“Nothing mom go back to bed!” I yelled and heard her foot steps begin to recede 

I look back over at Leon and sigh. I get up and move towards him, he isn't human that's for sure  but what is he? Is he like me? I realize i've been staring at him as I thought. He begins to move towards me lifting his hand slightly a bright blue flame showed in his hands. I lifted my hand creating red flames in my hand and lift it up to his. 

“Your like me- But how? I-” He looked at me with fear in his eyes as if something bad was coming and he new it. I did too I could feel it like a prick in the back of my neck but I had been ignoring it. 

“The school I go too is full of people like us and we are safe there, but he is coming back and we arent safe Camden.” I think it through He must be my father I know who he means. Everybody else thinks they have daddy issues image having literal Satan for a dad. My mother an angel coerced by evil and fell. So I am a half breed half angel, half devil.
