Chapter 10: Rydia's P.O.V

I sat in the car, waiting for Sin.  I messed with the heater in his car, trying to figure out how to work it.  And partially because I needed to do something besides sitting in silence.  Once I got it to blast out the warm heated air, I sat back, waiting yet again.

I contemplated to myself whether or not I should tell him about that girl or not.  I decided I wouldn’t because Halloween was soon and that could’ve just been a prank on their part.

I laughed stiffly to myself, looking out the window, noticing a figure in the woods beside the school.  Unfortunately the parking lot had really poor lighting and I couldn’t discern who it was. I squinted my eyes slightly, noticing that there was another figure and it was on the ground, cowering maybe.

I continued looking as the one standing took the other one by the neck and threw it into a tree.  I gasped loudly, and somehow the figure heard me, turning its head towards the car.

I knew I should’ve ducked my head, but I couldn’t, I had to see who it was and if my suspicions were right.  The figure walked into the dimly lit parking lot and smiled at me.

It was Steven.

I shrieked in the car, terrified at him, and what he just did.  I watched as he walked closer, he stopped about twenty feet in front of the car, focusing on something behind me.  I felt it; something was lifting me up from my seat.

I banged my head into the ceiling, shrieking as my body was continually banged into the roof of the car.  And suddenly I was dropped.  I rubbed my head as I cautiously looked up through the window. 

Sin was out there with Steven, they looked like they were battling, but not with their hands.

Sin was focusing intently on Steven, while Steven dropped onto his knees, grabbing his head in pain.  I looked round me and saw that everything was frozen; like there was a bird in midflight above a lamp-post, frozen in mid-air.

When I looked back, Steven was running at Sin with a large, too heavy to be lifted, piece of metal.  But Sin just looked at it and threw it and Steven away into the woods.

I gasped and saw Steven run back unnaturally fast and lift his hand, slamming a rock into the side of Sin, without actually touching it.

I started to cry and sob because I didn’t want Sin to be hurt.  I got out of the car and ran over to Steven, grabbing his arm and pleading with him to stop.

He actually looked like he was going to but then he just grabbed my wrist, throwing me onto his back with ease. 

“Steven please, put me down and stop!  I’ll do anything for you!  I beg of you!”

But he just looked behind his shoulder at me, shaking his head and running at super speed with me on his back into the woods.  I heard Sin shout at Steven to stop and that I had nothing to do with this. 

I cried into Steven’s wet smelling back, furious for even coming out of the car.  When he stopped I looked up and saw a meadow dimly lit by the rising sun.  He set me down and muttered something to himself, walking towards a suitcase underneath a pine tree.

I scrunched my knees up to my chest and cried into them, fearful of Steven and Sin.  I had no clue what they were or what they even wanted from me.  This must’ve been why Sin was so stressed out over answering a simple question.

I felt Steven sit next to me on the cold wet grass. He slung his arm around my shoulder, whispering in my ear, “I told you I would be back.”

I glared at him, pushing him away from me.  I got up off the ground and walked back in the direction we had come from, hoping to meet Sin.

“Rydia, you won’t reach your school for a very long time you realize.  I can run very fast and I took us to the heart of these woods.”  He stated, walking behind me, enjoying the fact that I was struggling to walk away.  He had this pull on me, but I wouldn’t cave into it, I just had to keep forging on.

And that’s what I did, avoiding any talk with him, focusing on the task ahead.

“Steven,” I finally said, I just had to ask him, it was killing me.  “Who did you kill in the woods?  Before you threw me against the car roof multiple times?”

He scoffed at me and said, “I thought you would’ve asked what I was but this is unexpected.  I took care of an accomplice of mine, and that’s all you have to know.” 

I stopped and turned to him, placing my hands at my sides, trying not to shake with fear as I asked him what he was.

Steven smiled devilishly at me and responded, “I, my dear angel, am an angel.  Only the bad kind.  Not the kind you think of that obeys God and does only good for the people, oh no, not me.  In fact, Sin isn’t a good one either.  He’s trying to redeem himself, but he did something not worthy of forgiving.”

He continued to walk ahead of me, and I just trailed behind him in shock.  A few moments later, he continued, “In our race, generally people only have three powers.  They don’t have the same, but there are variations.  And it just so happens to be that Sin and myself possess five powers. We aren’t related in any way shape or form, just special you could say.”

“Something else you should know is that we never die, nor move on.  Our bodies might die and deteriorate, but once our outer shell dies, we get a new one.  So really I am over two thousand years old.  I and Sin are some of the oldest angels.  Don’t ask me how we were made just know that we were.  We also don’t have to eat or sleep, but we do have to drink this elixir in order to be recharged.”

“One last thing I will tell you is that we have two enforcers with one leader.  And it just so happens that my uncle is one of the enforcers and I won’t ever gets into trouble for doing things to any human or angel.  You see if we become involved or have anything but strictly a friend relationship, you will be demoted and disgraced, then you will be relocated to an unknown area in the universe.”

He stopped talking and I just stared at his back with confusion, not following at all.  The sun was almost all the way up, as if we had talked for much longer than I thought.  I started to run, yelling for Sin and listening for his replies. 

When I finally heard him respond, I didn’t stop running until I was in his arms, all thoughts of that angel business behind me.

I hugged him close to me, so glad to be in his arms, taking a deep breath of his sweet smell.  I was so happy he was okay; I pulled back to make sure I was correct in that assumption.  I looked at him and saw that he only had a scratch under his eye which looked to be healing quickly.

Then I remembered that Steven had followed me and I whipped around, seeing and sensing nothing.

“Darling, I need to tell you something important.” Sin told me, walking me to the bench near the woods.  I looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Then he told me everything about who he was, what he was and how he was so sorry he had to do this.

“What do you mean you’re sorry to do this?” I asked reaching up to wipe off a tear that had escaped his eye.  He grabbed my hand and then kissed me deeply, needing me.

Then he got up, leaving me on the bench alone.  I looked at his retreating back, breaking out into a sob myself.  Then Sam sat next to me, gently grabbed my face.

I looked into his silver looking eyes and everything went black.
