Fallen

Chapter 5

Beep....beep....beep. My vision is blurred and clears after a few seconds. I look around. What? I'm in my room. But how?! I was dead. Or so I thought. I hear another beep. I get up and look out the window.

I peer out of my window and see my mom in the car parked in the drive way. Beeeep. I run down stairs still stunned. It must have been a bad dream. That's all. Man that dream felt so real though. I open the front door and walk to my mom's car. She rolls down the window. "Hey, I been sitting out here honking the horn for 2 minutes. Where were you?"

"Sorry mom, I was taking a nap. What do you need anyways? Why aren't you coming in the house?" "Well I wanted to stop by and tell you I'm going out with some friends tonight and I don't know when I'll be back. Are you going to be okay by yourself?"

She's going out with some friends? That's good at least she's getting herself out there instead of staying stuffed up in this house. "Yeah it's okay. I guess I'll see you later then." Mom says her good byes and drives off.

I walk back into my house up to my room. I decide to go take a shower to calm myself. When I'm in the shower I think about my dream. Why did it feel so real?

Who was that guy and why did he say I was chosen to be a fallen angel? None of this made sense. It's just a dream Annabelle. I sigh and let the stress I have accumulated melt away in the shower. All a sudden I feel my neck burning.

What the hell?! Ow fuck. I stumble out of the shower and look at the mirror. The strange marking on my neck was glowing blue?! It's just like in the dream.

I'm not dead am I?! I don't think I am. Am I dreaming again? The pain from the upside down cross feels all too real to be a dream. I put on my clothes I had sitting on the toilet. I go to look at the mirror again since the pain seemed to get worse.

All the time I was looking in the mirror I didn't notice the figure in the background. I left my bathroom door open so the mirror reflected the image of my room.

Fear swelled up inside me. Who is that?! I turn around and see a guy about my age with black long hair and blue eyes sitting on my corner room chair.

Panic rises in me and I scream at him. "Who are you and why are you here?!" He stares at me and smirks. I don't know why but it seemed so inviting. It's like I felt like I could trust him but I don't even know the man.

"Pardon my intrusion but it's very important that I speak to you." I realize it's the guy from the cemetery and my dream?! What the heck?!

Before I know it, not even a blink of an eye the man was standing two inches in front of my face. "Did you like the little dream you had earlier?" He smiled in a mischievous way. How did he know this? I thought I was just a dream.

"It wasn't a dream but more like a vision I'm afraid." How did he know what I was thinking?! "How do you know what I'm thinking?!" I say panicked. "Like I told you I'm Dexius. Fallen Angel of Death. And I have chose you to be a fallen angel."

As soon as he finishes his sentence the mark on my neck burns more and more. The pain was starting to get unbearable. I fall to my knees because the pain was so intense.

Dexius looks a little worried but I'm in too much pain to really pay attention. All of this was so confusing. This man claims that I will be a fallen angel? The pain and glowing of the mark on my neck? My lucid dream?

None of this makes since. Dexius leans over me and picks me up and takes me to my bed. "Put me down!" I demand but the fallen angel just ignored me and I couldn't fight back because of my wounded state. "I'm sorry about the pain. It's just when I'm this close to you it reacts to me but you will get use to it. I have the same mark too." says Dexius.

I haven't realized it because of my panicky state but he has the exact same mark except it is located on his shoulder and glows red. I'm still in too much pain and confusion to say anything reply right now but Dexius speaks up.

"I know this all doesn't make too much sense right now but I need you to listen closely. Tomorrow at 10 pm I want you to come to your Dad's grave and meet me there. I will explain everything and what's going to happen." Dexius grimaces a evil malicious smile.

It's weird. I don't know if it's just me but one moment the guy is sadistic like and the next he's sweet. I nod in agreement and the boy vanishes without a trace.
