Dark clouds crowded the sky, followed by heavy raindrops.Violent gusts blew so hard , raking through the trees, stripping them down.Lightning kept on dazzling from above and the thunder roared so ragingly...Hell had broken loose!The tempest was here.
Hiding into the forest hadn't been the best idea.But the sweet Angel had no other choice.She slowed down her pace and eventually stopped running, her chest rose and fell , gasping for air.
She was worn out.
Terror radiating through her veins , her heart banging against her ribcage, her glittering eyes showing terror , her rosy cheeks stained with tears , her white dress partially torn, see-through from the rain, water dripping from her black curly hair.Her palms rubbed her arms , creating friction to make her warm ,her plump cherry-red lips pressed in a thin line ,her feet slightly covered in mud from walking bare foot ,not forgetting to mention her long majestic wings ,sadly trailing behind her...she was breathtaking!
Those wings...those wings as peaceful ,sweet and majestic they were , were powerful ones.They were the source of her powers. Without her wings ,she'd be hopeless ,helpless, lifeless and it was what they wanted from her . Her marvelous ,white wings. Her enemies wanted her wings amputated.The poor Angel had been running for her dear life. She missed the old days which seemed like living on a cloud. It was all too perfect.
The rain was changing to thinner and thinner drops.Hearing the hoot of an owl, followed by the screeching of bats ,she looked up to be greeted by the uncountable stars of the dark night. "Stars?"she wondered. She was surprised that there were stars in the sky even with the dreadful weather.Spiders knitting their webs ,scorpions crawling up a tall tree , which hovered above her. What could worsen her fear?As she kept getting deeper and deeper in the dense forest, the more horrifying ,it got.
She flinched as she heard something passing swiftly through the bush, which was behind her. Her heartbeat picked up.Her eyes widened.Something hit the ground. Stunned, she turned around, letting out a scream.In front of her ,stood a...man.He was tall, and had a muscular figure.He had black wings ,purple eyes ,thick eyebrows , plump lips, slender nose and werewolf ears .His excellent features somehow intimidated her. He smiled and started moving towards her but each step he made forward, made her move one backwards.That didn't stop him at any point. He found her so innocent, pure and beautiful.He kept going until she had her back pressed against a tree.Being inches apart, she swallowed the lump in her throat, thinking of what to do.He rose his hand up to her cheek and poked it.Her eyes widened.Then he cupped it and stared into her eyes , reading her priceless expression of fear. That made him chuckle.He found it amusing.He certainly had no intention in hurting although she assumed so , by his stern ,muscular appearance.He was a Demon, he was ruthless.But how could that side of him take over at the sight of her? It couldn't.
She saw him as a demon... his black wings...Staring into his purple eyes ,she saw kindness and comfort but didn't get carried away by the fact. Nevertheless , her heart was still beating hundred times a second.Something about him was intriguing her . His eyebrows. They were so thick and bushy, she just wanted to touch them, as in brush the tip of her fingers against them.They were this appealing.Her eyes roamed his face, which held a smug ,amusing expression while hers showed deep confusion.Who was him? Why was he here? Where did he come from? What did he come for? Was he going to take her wings? That's where she panicked and shook her head. Still inches apart each other, she squirmed , trying to escape...to no avail.He trapped her ,circling one hand around her waist while the other brushed back the dangling strands of her wet hair ,behind her ear.
Terror struck, she went on shivering.
Her wings.She couldn't lose them.She gave up. She knew it was the end of it...He seemed so powerful, capable to do anything. But in all of a sudden, an idea flashed through her mind.She set her fear aside, opening her large ,white ,angelic wings , with such a force that pushed him backwards , some foots away from her .
Jaw dropped to the ground , the purple in his eyes lightened, which showed no sign of anger but of astonishment.She battled her wings, rising up up in the air ,in front of him, as a sign of power and willingness to defend herself.To him, it was the most beautiful sight ever. He again, truly had no intention in hurting her.But the poor Angel was in fear of losing the most powerful thing she possessed. If only she had known that she was wrong. Up in the air , she appeared bright white ,dazzling in the dark night.
The Demon, as she called him, to his turn ,opened his jet black wings. Large but not as hers , he graciously joined her up .She remained still, impressed. He came closer and closer , giving her a reassuring smile but she remained expressionless ... she was afraid. They stared at each other ,purple lost into light brown, mending their souls, unnoticed.The eye connection made it impossible for them to move away from each other.Instead they moved closer and his hand again circled around her waist but this time , she he didn't reject , she brought her hand , hesitantly around his firm strong neck. He made her forget her fear , sorrow, she was cut from the world for an instance. Who knew the fusion of eyes could have such an effect?
Their wings battled simultaneously ,their faces centimeters apart each each other.She gripped tight on him for support as their lips and noses brushed.She felt a rush of electricity down her spine.Soon their lips overlapped , into a sweet deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues came in contact, adding intensity to their touch, and sensuality to their kiss.She felt peace, ease, comfort ,security... it astounded her. They pulled away from each other, breathless.
Staring. Staring is what they have been doing the past minutes. Stares could make such awesomeness.Not a word was spoken. The body language , the contact made it all. The moment was too perfect, too magical, too surreal...
Out of the blue, she pushed closer to him, letting out a loud moan in pain. Feeling an excruciating sting in her wings, struck with an arrow, she lost consciousness instantly. Shocked , he tightened his grip around her and held her in his arms. Her wings wore a dark red spot. He brought her to the ground and pulled the arrow out of the wound and forcefully dropped it down. The Demon then pressed his hand firm on her injured wing.She winced. He tried to heal her but they couldn't stay here any longer . She was in danger. Her enemies were here .He heard them and could sense them. He had to carry her away to a safer place as soon as possible.He managed to stop the bleeding. In her lethargic state , she let out a whimper, a frown describing pain ,obvious on her face.Taking her into his strong arms bridal style , he had no other choice than to run. He couldn't risk flying. He placed a tender kiss on her forehead , easing her deep frown and went on with his way, prepared for whatever upcoming challenge.
It was stabbing him to see such a beautiful face wearing a frown, such a sweet figure bearing pain, such an innocent, pure mind in fear...
