Save Me

Chapter 4

Quintin walks into the room, "I just ordered us some pizza." He says while plopping onto the couch. "So ya'll live here all alone?" I ask. "Nah, we have an adult, sorta." Daniel says chuckling. "Oh who?" I question. "His name is Raphael, he may or may not come home tonight, he comes and goes as he pleases." Bexley says rolling her eyes. "Let's play a game, I'm bored." Whines Elora. "Truth or dare! Say 'I' if you think we should play!" Yells Kinsley even though we are all right next to her.

"I." Says everyone in unison except me and Gabriel. "What do you say, Brin?" Asks Daniel. "Eh I'm not really a fan of truth or dare." I say. "Please!" Elora and Bexley whine tugging on my arms. "Fine!" I finally yell. "What about you Gabriel?" I dare ask. He looks at me for what seems like forever before a smirk finds its way to his perfect lips. "Why not." He says shocking me considering he hasn't even acknowledged me since the incident with Maci. "Okay, I'll go first, Gabriel truth or dare?" Quintin asks. "Dare." Gabriel challenges. "I dare you to..." He pauses to think. "Make out with Brinley." He says smirking. What is with guys and their damn smirks!? "What!" I yell surprised. Before I can protest Gabriel's lips are on mine. I lose all track of time, I move my lips in sync with his. It's like his lips were made to fit mine. We pull away out of breath. I gasp. "Your eyes." I whisper. They are glowing blue, like actually glowing. He smiles and looks away. Everyone else sees his eyes. Everyones faces hold mixed expressions. Some shocked, knowing, ecstatic, and jealousy? I hear someone mumble something that sounds like, "we found her." Confused I just ignore it.

The game goes by and Bexley yells, "Now let's play strip poker!" Me and Elora look at each other knowingly and terrified. But everyone shouts in agreement. "That's not such a great idea." Elora tries to convince them. "Yeah why don't we play something else." I try. "Nope y'all are out numbered." Quintin says amused. Well, good thing I'm good at poker.

After a while everyone has some clothes off except me. Then my stupid self makes a wrong move. "HA! There goes your shirt Brinley." Says Bexley. "Come on Bex can't I take off my socks or something." I say with a shaky voice. Elora is staring at me wide eyed. "Nope. Shirt. Now!" I sigh. I start to take off my shirt wincing. I hold it in my hands with everyone staring at me shocked. I look over to Elora for help. "Who did that to you?!" Gabriel yells his eyes start to glow again. "Tell me!" He says clenching his fists so hard blood starts to drip. "Gabriel, calm down." Daniel says reaching for his arm. Gabriel turns around and shoves Daniel sending him flying across the room. "Don't touch me!" Gabriel says yelling. As he says that two enormous black wings unfurl from his shoulder blades. I gasp in shock. I can't move. Kinsley runs over to Daniel to help him up and make sure he's okay.

Gabriel turns and looks at me he starts to walk towards me wings dragging on the floor. Out of fear I start to scoot back. He stops mid stride and pain flashes across his face. "Don't be scared." He says barely above a whisper. I stop. He starts walking forward again. He leans down and picks me up and starts walking. Scared, I squeeze my eyes shut and put my face into his bare chest. The contact, for some unknown reason, calms me down.

He walks out the back door and towards the woods. For about 15 minutes all I hear his my breathing, his footsteps, and something heavy dragging on the ground. His wings. He suddenly stops and sets me down and looks at all my bruises. Eyes glowing again, he shuts them and inhales deeply and hands me my shirt. I slide it back on letting out a cry of pain which makes him tense even more. After it's back I walk around him and slide my hands down the solid black, feathery, huge wings protruding from his shoulder blades.

"What are you?" I ask in a whisper. "The question you should be asking is "what are we?'" He says. "What?" I ask. "Whether you believe me or not Brinley we are Fallen angels." He answers. "Maybe you are but there's no way I am." I say still in shock. I must be dreaming. "You are. There was a time when you, me, and the rest of the group were all in heaven. There was a conflict and a large group of angels were cast out, including us. We had no memory of what happened. Me and the rest of the Angels found each other. But you were missing. We were all really good friends in heaven but when we came to earth we all forgot who everyone was so we couldn't just recognize you we needed proof. Brinley, we are soul mates." He says. I'm in so much shock I can't even find my voice. I just stare at him. "You must have been found and put into foster care. Your adopted aren't you?" He asks. I nod.

Now that I think of it I don't remember any of my child hood. Or anything since before last year. "How old are you Brinley?" He asks. "I-I don't really know..." I stutter. "Your older than a millennium. We all are." He says. "Then how come I don't have wings or anything?" I ask sounding stupid. "You do, you just didn't find out who you really were as fast as we did. Just imagine two giant black wings slowly coming out of your shoulder blades. Picture it." He instructs me. I do as he says I feels my skin shifting and suddenly decades and decades of memories come rushing back to me. I open my eyes, dizzy, I fall to the ground. Something drips on my hand and I realize I'm crying. Not just crying but sobbing. "Gabriel." I say in realization. I slowly look up at him and throw myself into his arms. Realizing we were cast out I start to cry even more. "I know." He says rubbing my back and trying to calm me down. "Nothing's the same anymore I remember you all but I feel like I still don't know you guys." I sob. "I know, it will feel like that for a while. You will have to get to re know everyone. It will be hard knowing that we were all close but not anymore. I doubt you'll feel love for me. But now you know why you felt so much attraction to me since I came to your school last year." He says still rubbing my back.

Gabriel's POV
I'm happy she knows who she really is now but things will never be the same. I still love her but it feels mandatory. I think of all of these things as I hold a broken weeping angel in my arms.
