The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall

Chapter 4:

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall

I decided to play dumb with Lucifer. I had been trained how to act in these situations.

When I took a glance at the inside of the car, I saw Jordan tied up and knocked out in the back.

"Hi Lucifer," I smiled, "Would you mind moving so I could get to my car?"

Lucifer's pale, glowering expression dropped.

"Iris," He said, pretending to feel disappointed, "I expected better from you, after all,"

He seemed to disappear and then reappear right in front of my face.

"You are destined to kill me,"

I heard a yell, and saw Nick's wolf form grasp Lucifer. As he was about to rip his limbs off, Lucifer disappeared. He reappeared, floating above our heads.

"You'll have to be smarter than that," His dangerous smile threatened us, "Or you're little rebellion will never succeed,"

After he left, I jerked the van's door open, and found Jordan murmuring unaccountable words. He had blood dripping down his forehead, and some of his teeth were knocked out.

As Nick treated Jordan, I looked around to see if Lucifer left anything else.

He did.

It was a boy that looked about Nick's age.

He had brunette strands of silky hair, strewn across his face and his glassy blue eyes were half open, and watching me.

His shirt had been ripped off and there two jagged claw marks, swiped across his tan, fit chest.

A small scar outlined the bridge of his nose, and his mouth was slightly open.

He was the most beautiful mutant I had ever seen.

But, did I mention his black wings?

He saw me looking him over and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"My name is Emsley Bello," His hoarse voice introduced.

"Iris Spring,"

"That's a beautiful name,"

"You're beautiful," I blurted out. My face immediately turned red, and I looked away.

"It's okay, not many people notice," He shrugged.

That caught my attention. How could they not love this beautiful creature?

"What do you mean?" I whispered as Nick examined Jordan.

"Well-- the only people that can see angels are other angels and in rare cases when an angel falls in love with the being it is protecting,  the being can see them,"

"So you've been protecting me and-- wait, your in love with me?" I asked, appalled.

Emsley nodded.

Werewolves existed. Vampires existed. And... angels existed?

"How can I help you?" I asked.

"With my scratches?"

I nodded.

"They'll heal in a matter of minutes. You need to go, though. Now, you'll see me following you," Emsley said.

This beautiful angel had fallen in love with me while he protected me.

And I was immediately attracted to him.

"Nick," I asked, "Do angels exist?"

"Yeah, why?" He answered, dragging Jordan to Tyren's car.

"No reason., but um, can we see them?"

"It's not likely. The only time that someone can see an angel is when that angel is their soulmate,"

I decided to post early for you becuase I love you guys that much :)

If I get 5 votes, I'll make the next chapter before the weekend is over. Happy October!
