Mystic. [Old]

Chapter 29:

A week had passed now. Derek and Tori always went out. There was a boy. Jacob. I don't know him. He stares at me sometimes, with amusement or something. He joins Derek and Victoria on missions it seems. Jordyn stayed with me all this week. She helped me try and walk, get back used to it at least. She watched over me. She's too sweet to me. I love her.

I have a new plan about my rumors of my shadow/hybrid form. I'll use it to deceive people that I'm not an angel. Not that I wasn't doing that before. But it can mislead them, I can look less special I guess and use it to my advantage. I keep a little journal now. It's white and gold. Derek gave it to me to write my thoughts and stuff since I'm cooped up. To be honest. I was wrong about other creatures. They can either be on your side or not. But either way, you got to get to know them first, unless you can read their minds and thoughts of course.

Jor is looking at me, trying to see if I'm alright or not. I let her ask, "Are you ok Tiff? You got this look on your face-"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking?"

"About what?"

"You," I smile, and she blushes and returns the smile. "Aww. You think about me?"

"Yeah," I roll my eyes playfully and sit up from the bed. Jordyn tries to ease me back down, but I'm reluctant to move. "When do the others come back?"

"They're getting food so, probably soon."

"Ah." I gaze at Jordyn's healed wings. My wings are actually beginning to heal as well. There's this picture I have been keeping in my pocket for a while now. The picture of how my wings are supposed to be. 40-35 feet long. And now they are cut down to 5. They look awful too, feathers fall out and you can see the bones. I think the doctor put something on them to help my wings heal and grow back. But they're all bandaged up so I can't tell. Jordyn is petting me. I look at her. She's petting my arm, it makes me feel a bit sleepy. "What are you doing?"

"Petting you."

"Why?"

"It makes you happy. And fall asleep." I shift my arm back a little and take her hand in mine. "You've stayed with me all week. Aren't you sick of me yet?"

"I can never get sick of you," she kisses my hand. I blush a little, I feel... Warm. And happy. I decide that I want to get up. Jordyn attempts to make me stay in bed, I resist and move my legs to the edge. "Fine. But if you are moving, you better let me help you." I shrug and step on my feet, standing a bit shakily. I feel like I can fall but Jordyn comes and holds me up. I smile and walk a little. "I think I can walk by myself Jor."

"I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself."

"You can catch me if I do." She lets go and I can walk by myself, obtaining my balance. It feels good. Jordyn follows close by my side, and decided to hold my hand. I yawn a little and spread out my bandaged wings. It hurts a little and I tuck them back in. I'm heading towards the couch and sit down.

The door unlocks and Tori, Derek, and Jacob come in. Jacob makes his way into a room, but nods at me, confirming a 'hello'. Derek is surprised to see me out of bed. "Aren't you supposed to be-"

"I got up. By myself this time."

"Damn," he raised his eyebrows and smiled. Tori went over to hug me, she's surprised too. "It's nice to see you moving around."

"I've been trying to move by myself for a while."

"Welp," she shrugged and pulled away from the hug. Victoria sat next to me. Derek is leaning against the wall. "So when are you ready to hunt Tiff? We need you soon." I shrug. And look at Jor whose shaking her head. "She'll be ready when I say so. She's disabled-"

"Eek. I prefer hit from battle-"

"Oops. Sorry. She's been through a lot and she still needs time to heal."

"Can't angels heal fast? Can't they fix themselves quickly?" Derek frowned a bit.

"I don't know how to do that yet," I crack my back but stand up, glaring at all of them. "Who cares about injuries. I think I'm capable of working again."

I smirk and spend out my wings.
