Mystic. [Old]

Chapter 21:

Morning came and Tiffany was mildly awake. She gazed at Jordyn and brushed at her wings a little. Tiff yawned and looked about her room and saw Derek watching her. They met each others eyes for five whole seconds, both concerned. "Why are you here?" she mouthed.

"Because I barely sleep," he responded, whispering. "Plus, I need to speak with you." Tiffany nodded and slipped out of bed and out of the room into another, following Derek. "Ok, fire away," she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. "Why the hell do you have so many charts and reports about every single lab experiment? That's really weird, and stalker-ish. You like, know everything about them, from weaknesses to what they are. Not that you wouldn't know if you just examined them but seriously, why?"

"I gotta make sure that's the person. You know they are eventually gonna use robots? To try and trick me- uh- well us."

"Oh." He fixed his messy hair and flipped it, then cracked his knuckles. "Can you explain one more thing to me then?"

"Sure?" she raised a brow. Derek slipped a paper out of his hand, it looked burnt, wrinkled, and ripped. Tiffany's eyes widened. "Where did you get that."

"Found it."

"But no one looks in that drawer-"

"Well I did. I kinda had to know what I was teaming up with." Derek opened the paper up and read the description.

"Weaknesses: Jealousy, depression, special pure light chemical.

Species: Fallen/Broken Angel. Also can be identified as a shadow/hybrid. 'Human' as well.

Age: 16/17

Pain tolerance: Almost close to invincible, very strong/powerful.

Description: Hybrid form is black, shadowy, white sparkles (freckles), slim body, tall, misty/sparkly hair, white or black eyes, can see through her sometimes, depending on form. Human has long dark brown hair and eyes, ordinary freckles, bangs, pale-ish peach skin.

Gender: Female.

Number: 545.

Name: Luminous/Tiffany." Derek looked up at her after reading all of it. Tiffany picked at her nails a bit, looking down. "So you lied about what you are huh?"

"It was better that way. And it wasn't all of a lie."

"You were in a lab too. This paper seems as if it was from a while ago? 4 or 3 years? Why the name Luminous?"

"Yes. But all the information on that is kinda not true."

"Explain," he cocked his brow.

"Ok well. I never actually knew what species I was, I'm still confused on that now. I'm pretty sure I am slightly human. And Luminous was never my real name, they only called me that instead of my real number for some reason. The weaknesses are kind of false as well."

"Well you have been lying to us. That's a dick move." Tiffany rolled her eyes slightly in response. "But wait, the scientists identified you as a 'broken' or 'fallen' angel?" She nodded, "They sometimes even called me a 'dark' angel."

"Do you have wings or?"

"I don't know. I know I can form into things. I can make myself have wings."

"You know you will have to tell the others eventually, right Tiff?"

"Yeah yeah. Just not... Yet."

"Fine. But when the knife gets close to the throat, you know you have to." Tiffany began to walk away, out of the room.

"Wait Tiffany," Derek seized her in a stern voice. "Does it hurt in hell?"

Tiffany looked at him in a deep gaze and said nothing.
