I Am Reapers Daughter

8: Blake: Threat

She's my girlfriend now. And it felt great. But why do I feel guilty? Maybe my feelings are sincere.

"You finally did it," Kitty sat on my bed after I had dropped Ceres off at her place.

"What are you doing here?" I threw at a book at her.

"You are so, mean," Kitty pouted. "Treating me like that."

"Whatever," I threw her off the bed, and I laid down. "Leave."

"Father only wants to congratulate you," Kitty said. "Becasue you got Ceres to trust you."

"Yeah now leave," I growled.

"Fine," she said. "You ungrateful brat." She jumped out my window. I need to lock my windows from now on.

A string?

What did Ceres mean? What string? When she showed me the picture of Michael, it was a typical picture. There was no string at all. But I keep forgetting she's a reaper. She sees things. Things that the human eye can't see. I'm not human, yet I can't see everything.

I got up and went to check on Michael. He slept soundly, cuddling his bear. I checked for this string. But nothing. Usually when a Reaper sees something that they can't see in others. It means that that person is close to death. No, it's not possible. Michael won't die. Maybe Ceres imagined it yeah that's it.

But now I was worry about all this. Wait, it could be Ceres father playing tricks on me. Because of what I did. That bastard, he must be making Ceres see things, to scare me. Is this what he meant about me regretting it. He can't mess around with someone's life. Especially an innocent child. I won't allow it.

I walked out of the room and went into mine. Locking the door, I jumped out the window. I spread my bat like wings before touching the ground and flew up. I needed to release some anger. And flying is just the thing. I couldn't get the idea of Michael dying out of my head. It was Anthony messing with me. And it was not cool. I was up in the air for two hours. After two hours, I headed back. As I did, someone attacked me. I struggled to get the person off me.

"You shouldn't be flying around like that," I heard a male voice. "And I came to warn you. Stay away from Ceres. You were close to her, will only bring destruction to this world. You'll only cause her sadness."

I looked and saw substantial glowing white wings. And angel. Why was an angel protecting a reaper?

"Stay away!" He said and slashed me before disappearing. Which the bright light that he gave out, blinding me. And when I was able to see, I was laying in the middle of the road. Thankfully not many cars pass through here. It was empty and quiet. Looks like, more than one person is looking out for Ceres.

And what did he mean but the destruction of this world?

What exactly do going on?

I sat up and winced. I looked back; my left wing had a hole. Great, it will take a whole week to heal.

I stood up and sealed my wings back. I then made my way home. It took me an hour to get home. And I had to climb back up and through my window.

Wincing, I removed my clothes. Looking in the mirror, I saw I had various scratches and bruises forming. But they seem to be healing. Aside from that, I had this cut on my left cheek. And it wasn't healing. What am I suppose to tell mom? That I accidentally ran into a knife. I sighed and dug into my wardrobe and grab a bandage. I peeled the cover and placed it on my cheek. I had to use two. I then laid in bed.

In the morning, mother was worry about me.

"Blake you need to be more careful," she said. She had removed my bandages and properly took care of my cut. I had told her I fell through the window. "There, now please be more careful, alright."

"Yes mother," I smiled. "Well, I'm going out for a bit."

"Don't be out late," she said. I waved and walked out.

I will see Ceres. Last night, her father wasn't home. But her mother was. I walked toward her house. It was sunny out. As I walked, I thought about last night. Who was it that attacked me? I know it was an angel but who? When I find them, I'll make sure to pluck their feathers one by one. No one messes with me. Then I'll burn their feathers and let them bleed out. Yeah, I'm so, evil.

I smiled to myself. Once I was in front of Ceres house, I walked up and knocked. Her mother answered the door.

"Hi, is Ceres home?" I asked.

"Ah yes come in," she said. I walked in, and I immediately felt a sharp pain in my chest.

They had this house under some divine spell. And it was killing me. Not literally, but it made me feel weak. And cancel all my powers. And if that what's happening. My wounds will open up. And yup they are. I could feel the pain. I stepped back outside and sighed. I felt much better.

"What's wrong?" Her mother asked.

"Nothing, I'll wait outside," I said.

"Oh okay," she went to call Ceres. I waited outside.

Ceres walked over to me.

"What are you doing outside come on?" She said.

"I can't," I look down. "Let's go to the park."

"Ah, but Blake," she grabbed my hand and hauled me up and dragged me inside. "What happened to your cheek?" I again began to feel the pain. I didn't want to upset her.

I was in pain. "Oh Blake you look pale," she frowned. "Ah, you're bleeding!"

"I have to get out," I said and pulled away. I was about to walk out when I bump into someone.

I didn't stop to say sorry I ran out. Taking deep breathes I felt the back of my shirt soaked. Probably blood.

"Ah you're hurt," Ceres came behind. "Come."

"I can't!" I yelled. "If I go inside I'll die."

"What?" Ceres frowned.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," I said and ran.

I'll blow my cover if I stay any longer. Ceres is going to think I'm not human. I'll have to make it up to her. But right now I need sleep. My body felt very weak. I need to let my body and mind gain its strength. I hope Ceres doesn't think poorly of me.
