The Demon And The Angel | Brypu Cult AU

Chapter 43

Inpu's POV

"Bryan, I'm gonna say this now, calm down just a bit"

Ever since my father visited to threaten me, Bryan has been going crazy out of fear something will happen to him or the kids.

I had been trying to calm him down for a few days now, but nothing was really working other than convincing him to shut up by...other means, but I didn't want to use that every day.

We had been trying to do any research we could, but weren't getting anywhere, so I began to do it alone while Bryan focused on other things like work and the kids.

Most of the research I was doing was mostly rereading the same book over and over again, but it was more a stall tactic until I could find more books.

Tonight was one of the times I was more calming Bryan down over getting any "research" done, but I didn't mind.

"How can I be calm when your father could be trying to go after you and therefore me?!"

"My father can't do much here, we have more power in the demon realm, so as long as we remain here, he can't do anything"

"You sure you want to stay here until its fully settled? I know you have a ton of things you need to attend to there"

"I'm sure, hon, its just until my father gets off my tails, then we can switch to living there and use this as our vacation home if you're ok with it"

"I will enjoy that, but we will have rules when we eventually decide to do that"

"Understandable, but still, calm down and take some time to relax, you don't need more stress"

"Alright, can you at least take care of making sure the kids are in bed though, I kinda just want to shower and go to bed"

"I can do that, what exactly do I need to do?"

"Just make sure Artemis is asleep, the triplets should be asleep, but if they aren't give then an hour long timer, and just check that Crystal isn't planning to stay up all night, her sleep schedule is already terrible"

"Understood!"

Bryan quickly ran upstairs while I went to clean up what I had left on the table.

Upon heading upstairs, I went to each of the kids' rooms and gently opened each door.

Artemis and the triplets were already asleep, but of course, the problem child was awake.

"Shouldn't you be in bed? You have school tomorrow"

"So? I have homework due tomorrow, I can easily get it done now and it gives me time to lessen the light my wings produce"

"What do you mean lessen the light?"

"I can make my wings go from pure to pitch black, did you not know this?"

"No, since when?"

"Since I was little, papa taught me and I taught Artemis, its more so we can sleep better"

"And they just stay like that?"

"As long as we want them too, the most it effects us is by darkening our feathers for about double the time they were dull"

"Interesting, mind if I take one of your dull feathers? I've been trying to figure out a way to prevent my father from doing something, and knowing a bit more about that could be helpful"

"Sure, I have a few under my bed from when I was molting a couple weeks ago, that normally happens when I'm asleep, so they should be dull"

I quickly moved over to Crystal's bed and found a few feathers, some being bright and pure like her wings normally were, some a dark grey, but a majority of them were pure black, similar to Atlas and Lotus' wings.

Once I had a good number of feathers, I told Crystal to go to bed and quickly went to the bedroom so I could do some reading without worrying Bryan.

I just left the few feathers I grabbed by the desk before I grabbed my book and began to reread more about angels since I only knew the bits of information I needed prior.

Most of the information I found wouldn't be helpful, until I managed to find a page about pure angels.

Apparently when a pure angel has impure thoughts, they can change their wing's brightness, typically, they appear a light grey, but if its an angel fused with human DNA, or in our case, demon DNA, their wings can become black.

Its harder for them to change color if the angel was born pure or spelled to let their power come out, so Bryan wouldn't easily be able to change his, but the kids on the other hand, they could easily do it.

The more I read, the more interested I was about it, but with my interest, it caused noise, so Bryan began to wake up.

"What are you doing this late at night?"

"Did you know Crystal and Artemis could make their wings pure black?"

"Yeah, has Crystal really not split her wing colors in front of you?"

"She hasn't, I didn't realize they could that"

"Why does it interest you so much?"

"Because its interesting to me, plus I have a feeling it could be valuable information for me"

"Valuable how?"

"If I learn something my father doesn't, maybe I can prevent you from getting hurt again"

"If you can manage that, I'd cheer for you, but I'm to tired to do anything, so know that I'm interested, just unable to process any information"

"Then would you mind something to calm you down?"

"That being?"

"Come on, you know"

"You can kiss around my chest, nothing on the neck. or we can make out for a few hours, I have an early shift tomorrow, if I go in limping again my co workers are going to think I'm in a bad relationship"

"You're an adult, they should know you are allowed to enjoy yourself after work"

"Inpu, they know that I wouldn't allow a stranger to leave a hickey on me, I view them as a way to claim someone"

"Do you not want to be claimed by me?~"

"I never said that, I just don't want to show it in a professional setting"

"You're no fun"

"Go to bed, unless you actually want to do something, I want to sleep"

I just rolled my eyes before I pulled Bryan into a spooning position so we could comfortably sleep.
