Darkened Angel- Chapter 12

Chapter Twelve

    It only took us another hour for Darius and I to make it up to Angel Kat’s place dressed and ready. I held my sketchpad in my arms ready to show the man who had been denying me my perfect sleep. I had sketched him while Darius was in the shower. I stayed looking to the bedroom door for when he came out.

    Darius and I haven’t said a word to each other after I ran into the bathroom. I think I hurt his feelings when I did. I could feel him sneaking glances at me and then turn quickly away. I would watch him from the corner of my eyes just to see if he was hurt by my actions. He didn’t seem like it, but he could have been masking his true feelings to protect himself.

    We walked in and Angel Kat pulled me into a hug. I stiffened slightly as she squeezed my bruised arms. She must have felt my stiffening as she let go and lifted my flared short sleeve. She looked to Darius scowling. “You didn’t say she was bruised! How?”

    He pulled us over to the couch overseeing the city and gestured for us to sit. “I think Patience should explain. She was the one to experience it after all and I don’t want to give the wrong information.” He looked up as footsteps came out of another room. “I thought you would be at work?”

    I turned to see Darien walking over to us. He smiled. “I’m playing hooky this morning to help out.” Darien came around and hooked his arm around Darius’ neck putting Darius in a loose headlock. “Lets let the girls discuss business.” He waved and winked to me while dragging Darius out to the balcony by his neck.

    “So tell me what happened.” Angel Kat asked seriously. I started with telling her about the first night I was at Darius’ and showed her the drawing I made thinking about it. Next I told her about last night. The dream. The feeling I felt when I woke. Showed her the drawing of the guy.

    “He looked shocked that I pushed him away. Like he thought I was his sister that needed to be found. He even called me his sister.”

    “Did he enter your dreams after you fell back asleep?”

    I shook my head. “No. He may have given up when I pushed him away though I don’t think so. He said that they needed to know where I was. He sounded almost desperate to find me.”

    “Wonder what was different when you fell asleep the second time.”

    I looked out to the balcony and Darien and Darius were talking very seriously about something. “Darius held me the rest of the night to comfort me. I think he was scared for me because of how I broke down.” I looked down. “I feel bad that he had to comfort me like that.”

    I looked up when I heard wings and saw Parro landing on the balcony. He came in with his head tilted to the side. “You asked for me my lady?”

    “The mystery keeps building Parro. She now been forcibly contacted during her sleep by a creation I don’t know.” She held up my sketch. “Do you recognize him?”

    He took and looked at for a moment before he shook his head. “He doesn’t look familiar.” He looked to me with concern in his eyes. “Do you mind if I read you?”

    I felt confused. “Read?”

    He grinned and sat down beside me setting my sketchpad down on the coffee table. “Yes. When a creation finds someone they love and is with them...uh...physically. I mean to say that they make love. That act frees something in that creation and they gain an ability. A gift. Angel Kat can control the weather. Angelic can see the last thirty seconds in an area she’s in like an echo. I can read one’s mind with physical contact. See things in a memory that one may have missed.” He took my hands. “Will you permit me to see what you saw?”
