Fallen Angels

Who Am I?

          Fallen Angel Soldiers 

I awoke  to the dreariest morning I’ve had since Dad died. It suddenly stopped raining in Ravena, Ohio. Then a bird on my window pane, soaked in rain started to sing a cheerful tune. I got up to get ready for a place I call torcher. Highschool. West Creek High to be exact. I laid out a Metallica band t-shirt along with my ripped black jeans and with my usual combat boots.

I got dressed and looked over and the bird was still there so I picked up a book, and was going to hurl the book at the bird to scare it. But it was gone. I laid the book down and laced up my boots and went downstairs. I quickly scarfed down my food and headed outside with my backpack and I got into my brand new black Corolla and raced to school.

I entered the parking lot to see some new cars up ahead. A black Jeep, a black Mustang and a black Camaro, and a grey Corvette. I swiftly parked next to the black Camaro, and I saw a tall guy with black hair and blue eyes. I was mesmerized by him. Then I saw another attractive guy who came from the corvette, his rugged hair was flowing, and his piercing gray eyes took my breath away. Then a woman with pink hair came from the Jeep and a woman and a man from the black Mustang. 

They seemed to be together as a group. Suddenly the warning bell rang. I sprung from my car, and ran to my locker. I shoved my backpack into my locker and quickly snatched my math book out of my backpack, scraping my hand in the process. Ignoring it, I rushed to class. I was startled to find the guy with piercing gray eyes sitting in the back of the room. As I walked in front of everyone, searching for a seat, I caught his gaze, and the world seemed to stop.  Swiftly I sat down and I could feel his eyes on me making the hair on the back of my neck to stand up.

My eyes shot over to the door as I saw movement. The other guy with the black hair and blue eyes was opening the door. He walked in, and sat next to me. I felt my cheeks turn cherry red and I looked down at my math book. I made sure he wasn’t looking, and my eyes swept over to the door  again. I saw the blonde and the third guy with the hazel colored hair in the doorway.

He quickly hugged her, and she laughed turning the door knob. She took a seat behind me, and smiled. She tapped my shoulder and I slowly turned around. Her face was lightly colored with grass green eyes and a warm smile. 

“Hey, I’m Natalia! I’m new who are you?” She cheerfully greeted. 

‘Um… I’m Eve,” I replied awkwardly She smiled in acceptance. I heard a cough next to me, and it was the black haired guy. I saw a pencil fly and smack him in the side of his head. 

I looked behind me to see Natalia snickering. 

“Shut up Tristen,“ she whispered.

So I  finally had a name. Tristen.

I let my gaze flicker back to the  guy with the piercing gray eyes. They locked for several seconds which actually felt like a couple hours. I wished I had a name for him. The teacher turned to her white board, and he quickly moved behind Natalia. Natalia turned to him.

“Hiya, Ash,” she cheerfully greeted. He nodded, as if replying hi. Another name. I was on a roll. I turned back to the teacher. The next forty-five minutes were filled with fractions and variables.

The bell rang, I gathered my stuff and rushed past Tristen and Ash hoping that was my only class with them. Much to my dismay, I had them in my gym class as well. I quickly changed into a baggy t-shirt and black basketball shorts. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed  Natalia in a tight pink tank top and short white athletic shorts. She bounced up to me as I was tucking in my shirt. Behind her was the girl with the hot pink hair. Up close I noticed her eyes were red.

“This is Scarlet,” Natalia introduced. I waved my hand in a slow motion to greet her. Suddenly  the coach barged in. 

“Girls! Get out there!” She screeched. We all hustled out. The coaches called role, and Natalia introduced me to her friends. First we came over the hazel brown hair guy.

“This is Liam.” He wove and I decided I was going to talk.

“Hey, I’m Eve,” I started. He smiled and I noticed Tristen and Ash walking up to me. Natalia backed away to talk to Liam leaving me all alone with two hot guys. Tristen opened his mouth like he was going  to say something, but Ash beat him to it. “Hey, I’m Ash. You are…?” He asked. 

“I’m Eve.’’ Tristen nudged him and introduced himself. 

“Hey I’m Tristen. Nice to meet you Eve.” I smiled. Which was a very rare thing.

 I overheard my name in a conversation, and turned to where I heard the noise. To my surprise it was Natalia.

“When are we going to tell Eve,” Natalia asked Liam in a very hushed tone.

“I’m not sure it’s probably going to be a shock for her,” Liam replied. I walked towards them pretending I didn’t hear. They quickly stopped their conversation and looked at me. 

“Hi, Eve,” Natalia chirped. 

I waved, smiling still figuring out their words. Liam looked at Natalia worryingly. This caused me some worry. I can’t trust these guys if all they do is keep secrets from me. I’ve been hurt too many times to trust and then be dumped some where. Just as I separated myself from them all the voices in my head came back to me. Not these voices again! 

“Why don’t you trust them huh? Is it because you’ve lost so much?” The voices spoke.

“I can’t get hurt again alright! I’m already on the edge!” I thought back to the voice.

“What edge huh? The one you made up in your mind? The one where if another horrible thing comes along you’re gonna kill yourself? Go ahead and try it! No one will care!”

I started to cry at that. I had nothing to say back to the voice I really didn’t, and it made me look weak. I looked weak in front of the entire gym because now everyone was staring at me because out of no where I started crying. Crap! I didn’t know what to do so I did what any girl would do in a situation like this. I ran out of the gym, and I went into the bathroom. 

I looked at myself in the mirror when I got to the bathroom. My eyes turned from ocean blue to a bright silver and black specs. The last time this happened it was the night before my Dad died. The voices said he was going to die and my eyes turned this color and I didn’t believe them. Does that mean I’m going to die now? What the heck is wrong with me?

Just then Natalia came in and hung herself on my shoulders asking if I was ok. I didn’t reply. I need to get out of here. It feels like I’m about to pass out. I push her away with all my might that I had left and she fell to the ground. I tried to run away but I then hit the floor. Tristan and Ash and Natalia  were all at my side telling me to stay with them. I tried to keep my eyes open but I slowly slipped away. Great a hospital visit.

When I was out I saw this heaven type of world appear before me. Am I dead? I then heard this music that filled my ears with amazement. It was rock and roll my favorite. The song was Been To Hell By Hollywood Undead. I then was jerked awake. I looked at my surroundings and I was in a foreign room. It was not a hospital room either. I then started to panic and I shoved myself against the wall of the bed. I was breathing really fast and I could feel myself shaking. Have I been kidnapped?

Just then Ash comes in and sets something on the night stand and he sits next to me on the bed. He stares in my eyes. Is he gonna kiss me or something he has to be kidding! For all I know he could have kidnapped me. Who knows why I’m here!  I could be a test subject or a sex slave!

“Well your eyes are silver again. Calm down we aren’t going to hurt you we are here to help you,” he spoke.

“What you can see the silver too? How did I get here? What do you want with me?” I spoke frightened. Just as I said that Scarlet and Natalia and Liam came in.

“We will tell you in due time what you are Eve but we just want to help you for now,” Liam said. Of course he is the brains behind this because he can keep a secret or whatever it is that they won’t tell me right now. What do they mean by tell you what you are?
