Fallen (Completed)

Chapter 18

~Hana~

I'm lying In bed, thinking about everything that has happened today.
I just realized I've been kissed by two different guys in one day. That's a first. But it's not like I'm keeping any secrets from them. Well, I haven't exactly told Damen that Raz kissed me, but that's an irrelevant fact that he doesn't need to know. I have told Raz numerous times that I have no interest in him. Why is he so confident that I'll change my mind? As soon as we stopped walking, that's when Raz kissed me. And I was not happy about that. Neither was I happy
about him staring at my lips while I was trying to talk about something serious.
When I talked to Damen, he complemented me and listened to me. I love when people actually listen to what I'm trying to say.
I can't even relax because I keep having a feeling that an angel will pop out if no where looking for me and will force me to go back to heaven. I never thought I'd hear myself say I didn't want to go to heaven. But then again, I never thought I'd hear myself say that I used to be an angel.

Monday morning

I'm rushing like a crazy person to get all the groceries to make supper. It's not like I'm just making something for my mom and dad, I'm also cooking it for Damen and Raziel and Angie so I'm a bit pressured. Why am I the one who has to do all the cooking? I'm not very good at cooking turkey, I'll probably get it burned or dry.

I'm walking back home from my errands. Yesterday I mostly spent time with my dad.
I just passed Mazy's Mocha and am walking home from the grocery store. Im carrying two bags in each arm and my hands are killing me. This is when I hope that Damen or Raz will happen to be here and  see me and help me carry my groceries. Sadly, no such luck.

Once I'm home I drop everything into the floor lightly and shake my hands. They were almost white before. Selene came rushing in. When I thought I was stressed out, that was before I saw Selene. She is frantic. Why? It's not like she is actually doing anything. I'm doing all the work. "What are you doing! Did you just drop the eggs? What's wrong with you! Hurry up, the turkey won't cook itself! Do you have the potatoes? Are they organic? What-"
I tried to tune out her rambling and started putting the cold stuff in the fridge. I was about to tell her I had it under control and she could leave when my phone rang. Taking it out of my pocket, I saw it was a number I didn't recognize. "Be right back," I told Selene and darted out of the room.
"Who is this?" I asked.
"It's Raz. No time to talk, there's Angels here, and they are looking for you."
"Oh my gosh, how do you know?"
"I can sense thier presence. And Damen can sense  a lot of Onyx that is not just your necklace. Don't worry, an angel is tracked by its wings, so they won't find you as long as you stay hidden."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
"But-"
"Damen is on his way over just in case. Your safe."
Before I could say anything else he hung up. I was about to go back into the kitchen when the door bell rang. It was Damen.
"Hey. Did he tell you?"
"Yeah,"
"Hana! What are you doing?" Selene walked out of the kitchen and saw us. "Who is this, Hana?"
"He is my friend,Damen. Dad said I could invite my friends, he wants to meet him."
"And now you will probably spend more time making out than cooking," My face was beet red.
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm good at cooking, I came to help Hana, not distract her," Said Damen coolly.
"Well then stop standing around!" She walked off leaving me with Damen.
"Somebody's in a bad mood," He commented.
"That somebody is always in a bad mood," I headed into the kitchen.
"You can help by peeling the potatoes,"
"What?"
"I thought you said you were going to help me,"
"I am. I'm keeping watch to make sure no angels get too close,"
I sighed. I pre-heated the oven and started preparing the stuffing. "Your actually going to cook? Knowing that there are angels out there hunting you down? At least try staying away from windows."
"You know what? Unlike you, at least I'm trying to act normal. Trying to pretend that I'm human and my only concern is that I'm going to burn the supper I'm trying to prepare for a normal dinner with normal parents in a normal house!"
"So your saying that you want to ignore everything that's not normal?" His voice lowered.
I was about to say yes when I looked up at him. His expression had changed. He was looking down at the floor and i took a second to realize what I said.
"No, I didn't mean-"
"Didn't mean what? That your sick of me and my kind? You wish I never told you about all this and that you never met me? If you don't like something that's not normal, I'll  leave. I'm sorry to have bothered you". He walked out of the room. "No, wait!" I dropped what I was doing and headed after him. When I got into the hall he was gone.
No, don't leave me, I needed him. Walking back into the kitchen I looked over to the window. There was no one there. See? I'm fine. I was about to close the curtains when I saw something's in the sky. Any ordinary person would assume it was a bird. But I knew better. The Angels. They will find me soon. Realizing this, I head to my room. I close all the windows and turn off the lights. I get a text from the same number that called me earlier. It must be Raziels number.
Raz- they know where you are. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Just after he text that I heard a knock on the door. Selene went to answer it. I pressed my ear against the door of my room and listened.
"Hello?" Said Selene after opening the door.
"Hello, I'm sorry to interrupt, but is, um, Hana Rayes here?" It sounded like my real mom.
"...why are you asking?"
"Well, I'm from her school and would like to talk with her about school. She has missed a few classes, you know." Angels are good at lying, considering that they are... Well, angels. They aren't supposed to lie! Angels are good.
"Ah. Well, she is very busy at the moment. Can you come back tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is necessary."
"Well that's unfortunate. Could you come at-" Selene's voice was cut off and I heard a thump. Not a good sign. I hear footsteps. Uh oh.
I turn around and grab my phone before going into the closet. I remember when I was little and cry because I was yelled at by Selene. I would curl up in a ball and stay there.
I text Raz saying that they are in my house. My iPhones battery is low. Why did Damen leave? I'm alone now.
These aren't just humans looking for someone, these are Angels. They must have some sort of high tech way to track people. Through their wings is what Raz told me. I hear my door bieng opened. I look around to see if there's anything in here to use as a weapon. Nope. But they won't try hurting me, right? No. I'm important, so I would need to be kept alive. Locked up maybe, but alive.

The closet door opened and my mom saw me. We stared at each other and she smiled.
"There you are, my sweet Lena. Time to go home,"
