Wingless ~Book Two of Winged~

Dead

"I lost control when you got abducted by Eli and she was mocking us so... I ripped her heart out..." Dominic confesses as he stares down at me, waiting for my reaction. I am not sure what to think about what he has just said. How should I react to Dominic killing someone? An angel? It's fine because she was just going to try and kill me. I find myself slowly nodding and looking down at my bare feet.

"Anyways... We should find out what angel decided to save you. I would like to thank them." Nathan says breaking the short silence. I look up to see Etheriel nod in agreement. I notice Dominic inch slightly closer to me and I look up at him to see him staring at me with lust filled eyes. I feel my cheeks heat up slightly as I think about having sex with him and I quickly look down at my feet in fear he will know what I am thinking. I can feel him staring at me as Etheriel and Nathan talk back and forth about angels that didn't fall, or get slaughtered in hunting games by demons, who could have possibly saved me.

"Can I use the shower?" I blurt randomly and mess with the dried blood stained fabric.

"S-sure... You know where it is." He says and I quickly walk out of the kitchen and toward the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and lean against it slightly, letting out a loud breath. I look in the mirror at myself. I look well rested and my hair is perfectly straight like I just straightened it and brushed it before I came here which I didn't. I turn on the shower as hot as it will go before slipping out of the white dress and stepping into the steaming hot shower. I rest my head against the tile and just let the water run down me. I have just shut my eyes when I start hearing a loud ringing, making me look around the small shower. The ringing quickly goes away and something red swirling down the drain catches my attention. Blood. I check my body for any cut I didn't notice and barely touch my back when it stings badly. I look at my hand to see blood on it. I thought the lashes healed enough to not be bleeding on their own. I quickly finish the shower and wrap myself in a towel as I get out. Once out and dried off, I realize that I don't have any clothes to wear. I wipe the mirror free of fog. I look at myself before opening the towel a little and looking at the place where I was stabbed. Completely flawless. The door opens suddenly and I jump, rewrapping the towel around me. Etheriel peeks in and then comes in with some clothes. I am strangely comfortable with Etheriel being here. He looks a little awkward as he sets the clothes on the counter.

"You don't have any clothes here so I brought you one of my shirts and a pair of sweatpants." He says and smiles slightly.

I smile back at him. "Thank you..." I say quietly and he turns to leave causing me to feel a tugging sensation on my heart. I frown as he starts to shut the door. He looks up at me once before the door shuts. I drop the towel and slip into the sweatpants and then pull the shirt over my head. Etheriel's scent engulfs me and I remember all the moments he and I had together. I lift the front of the shirt and look at the smooth skin. I think about how Etheriel said that it shouldn't have healed. I leave the bathroom and Dominic immediately comes from nowhere and crushes me in a hug. My back pops audibly and he lets go. His eyes scan what I am wearing.

"Are you hungry?" Nathan calls from the kitchen.

"No, I'm good." I call back. He looks out from the kitchen at me before disappearing again.

"I missed you..." Dominic mumbles and backs me up against the wall before kissing me. Etheriel clears his throat and Dominic pulls away, staring into my eyes before turning to him. I stare at him and I feel guilty for some reason.

"Trinity... I think you should see something." Etheriel say with a strange tone. I furrow my eyebrows together, confused and start walking toward him. He leads me to the couch and I see there is a news report paused on the TV. 'Body found by hunters' is across the bottom of the screen. I feel Dominic standing close behind me as Etheriel pushes play and the lady starts talking.
