She Who Has Fallen

Spirit Partner

There sitting on the ground with her ears pressed on the door was another member of the fallen angel, Tina. Her jaws were dropped, wide.

"Who was that?"

"My slave." I joked.

"I'm sorry...What did you say? I-I think-"

"No, you heard me right. He's my slaves for life."

She was troubled and didn't say anything for a while. She just excused herself and closed the door. I sat down on my bed.

She probably thinks I'm a freak. Who knows what she might say to the others. I still didn't care how they feel about me, as long as they leave me at peace.

The next morning, I heard someone banging on the door. I thought if I just left it unanswered, they'll probably leave me alone, but they didn't. I let out a groan and opened the door.

"Can't you tell that I'm sleeping?" I exclaimed. Outside stood nearly everyone who lived here, anxious to talk to me. "Is it true you own demons?"

I stared at them confusingly. "Demons?"

The girl from before was standing behind Fiona. My eyes bored into her eyes. I sighed and looked back at my marbles.

"Do I seriously have to tell you everything? There are boundaries when it comes to information."

They looked like they won't back down with just that, but I slammed the door at their faces. "What a pain in the butt." I muttered. "They're worst than Sandy."

I looked over at my bag of marbles. I snapped my fingers. Aaron (the guy from last night) bowed on his knees. "Yes master?"

"Watch Heaven carefully. If they come close to finding me, stall them." I demanded. He looked up in my eyes and nodded. I leaned down for his cold pale lips.

I allowed an entrance and felt his fang sank in my tongue. He drank as much as he could before my tongue healed. "Thank you for the meal." he bowed before disappearing off.

I changed my clothes walked to my bag with my hair tied up. I pulled my bag to the desk and took out all of marbles. I laid them down by order on the table and took out a scalpel. Let's begin the process I thought to myself as I slide the scalpel down my wrist.

[Jacob's POV]

I sat down at the dinning table, watching everyone's glum faces. "What's wrong with you guys?" I commented as Tina placed a plate of scrambled eggs in front of me.

"Kelly..." She said, her voice wavy and distant. I looked at David, obviously waiting for answers.

He shrugged. "Tina said she saw Kelly with demon slaves."

I looked at her in disbelief. "Are you kidding?"

She shook her head, her eyes darkened with anger. "When we tried to get freaking answers from her, she slammed the damn door at our faces."

I snorted as I took a bite from my bread. "She's a difficult one, that's for sure. But tell me, what time did you all go to her room?"

"7:53." Fiona butted in. I smirked. "No wonder. Heads up everybody, she is not a morning person."

"Shut up already." A voice rang throughout the room. I turned at the door, there stood Kelly, yawning.

She glared at Tina's direction before heading back to the living room. "Aren't you going to eat anything?" Fiona called out.

"No thank you!" She declared. We all looked at each other with the same idea. When will she ever start eating?

I placed the dishes in the dishwasher and went with Kaden out to the living, where we found Kelly laying on the couch, sleeping. We tiped-toed over to over her, but was stopped halfway by the guy from before.

He was no longer wearing a white rope, nor was his hair pure white. His skin was a bit tanned, his hair was jet-black, and his clothes were now just plain: a white t-shirt, pair of faded jeans, and converse. The only thing odd about his outfit was the sword he held pointing at my face. I paled and backed away.

"Don't dare coming near her." the dude glared. Kaden took a pistol from his pants and pointed at the guy. "How the hell did you get here? This is private property."

He said nothing but walked over to Kelly. He bent down and kissed her! "Dude! What are you-" Before I could finish my sentence, Kelly's eye flashed open, glaring at my direction. I felt as if she laid a cold hand on my shoulder.

She sat up to deepen the kiss. Then, we saw blood trickling down the side of her mouth. When they stopped, he licked off the remains of of blood from her chin. She looked at us was a demonic smile. "I see you've met Aaron."

I looked from Aaron to Kelly. "Who's he?"

"I told you. He's Aaron."

"No. I mean what is her to you?"

She rubbed her chin as if thinking for a while. She looked up at him. "What are you to me?"

He looked at her with discomfort. "I am what you want me to be."

She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck, facing us. "Okay. Then let's just say he's my lover."

We didn't even know how to react until the girls came in. The girls, including Melissa, blushed at the sight of him. "Who's that?" they gasped. I'm jealous. They're fawning over his face. Sure he's handsome, I'll admit that, but don't act like that in front of us guys.

Tina gasped louder throughout the group. "It's the demon I was talking about."

Aaron glared at her. "Demon, you say?" he growled. "Don't compare me to those sick monsters."

She flinched at his harsh words. Kelly seemed amused and stroked his hair. "Aww. Scared, are we?"

Tina hissed at her. Kelly rolled her eyes and looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

A frown crept on her face. "Are the others used to the changes yet?"

Aaron shook his head. "Not yet. They're all restoring their system. Except for her."

Her? Who's her? The others had the same question on their face. She sighed. "I'm not in the mood to speak with her. But have they begun to search for me?"

He nodded. "Yes, but not trying as much."

Kelly nodded in satisfaction and tapped a bit on the silver.studs. "Are they done yet? I need Roy to come with me to the mall for a new scalpel. The other one is getting blunt."

He sighed. "Why don't you just sharpen it? You know you're becoming getting lazier and lazier?"

She shrugged. "So what? I have my ways, and buying a new scalpel is one of them."

He shook his head in disapproval. "Roy is done. Do you want him now?"

She nodded and snapped her fingers. He bowed his head and disappeared.

In his place stood a small boy with navy hair, baby blue eyes, with a pale complexion. He had a stuffed white bunny with few brown-red stains on the poorly sewed stitches it had all over. He's adorable, but weird in a certain way. "I'm back." he said softly.

She patted his head. "Good, did you miss me?"

He looked up at her with teary eyes. He jumps on her and wraps her up in a hug, squishing the bunny in between them.

"I was so sad when you didn't call me out yesterday. Inferno was sad too. He wouldn't stop crying. So did Cadaver, Roden, Coe, and Jay."

She giggled and hugged him back. "Sorry. I was...busy. But I'll make it up to you with knife shopping."

"YAY!" he cheered. He tugged on her arm. "Let's go now! I wanna finish my collection!"

We all glanced at each other with the same odd look. Does knife shopping even exist?
