Right or Wrong the Side That Must Be Chosen

Chapter 9 Glimpse of a Monster Inside

While all the office workers were running around talking about people with wings calling the police Apollo, Luna, and I fled the scene and met up with each other a few minutes later near the woods where we first met. Apollo furious slammed his fist at a tree causing leaves to shake and fall off. "i can't believe you let him get away!" Apollo said. "he was too strong for me." i protested. "yeah, some hero you are!" Apollo said sarcastically. Luna jumped in between us and said "stop it, we mustn't fight each other!" "yeah? well tell me something, what's the real reason you two are after Lucifer? obviously Apollo hear isn't doing it because he's a nature lover." i said crossing my arms and waiting for an answer. Luna looked hesitant and then said "it's because, Lucifer killed our father." my anger went away and i felt somewhat sad for them now that i knew, but i couldn't let my emotions sink in now of all times, so i said nothing until Apollo said "you happy now punk? you proud of yourself or something?" Apollo shoved me back making me lose my balance for a second. "brother!" Luna said grabbing his arm, which he easily shook off in his rage. Apollo's eyes lit up with fire and shoving me more and more. i tried to let him take his anger out on me like a punching bag, but the i was also trying to hold back my anger, which at the moment was ready to burst. after shoving me a few more times something inside of me just went black. i let a horrible monstrous cry of anger out turning into some kind of beast. i can only remember glimpses of what happened after that though. i remember seeing one of my new beast arms blended black and white colors, but not mixing,it's very hard to describe it exactly though. i remember Apollo mouthing the words "what the hell are you?" and Luna a few minutes later tying me down with her water in the form of straps. Apollo stuck a flaming arrow into my chest and after that i calmed down and blacked out. i woke up with a major headache with hardly no recollection of what happened as i looked out the forest to see a bunch of trees knocked over or destroyed like a monster came through like a hurricane. "what happened?" i asked holding my hand. "you." Apollo said vaguely. "what?" i asked confused. "you really don't remember anything do you?" Luna asked standing next to Apollo who was looming over me. i got up sore in my chest for some reason, although there were no signs of injury. "good thing whatever happened your wound healed." Luna said. "wound? did i do something?" i asked. Luna gave me a look full of pity and looked to her brother. Apollo sighed and said "no, it was nothing don't worry about it." i was shocked for a minute and then realized it was now day time. "how long have i been asleep?" i asked. "it's the complete next day, but i'm not sure what time it was when you blacked out. maybe 12 at night?" Apollo said. we all heard rustling in the bushes behind us on the other side of the lake towards the city and got tensed ready for whatever was going to come out. i reached for my sword, which i now felt it's invisible hilt on my cold hands and prepared for battle. once the thing in the bushes flew out towards us we all relaxed as i quickly realized it was just Wix. "JAKE!" she said flying 100 mph. i sidestepped and Wix flew right into a tree unable to stop herself. "i think i'm starting to see my faerie friends again?" Wix said as her head spun around dizzy. we all sighed with relief and then began laughing uncontrollably. after the laughing died down i suggested we should head to my place, because i was getting a bad feeling leaving for so long without telling my family anything. they agreed and would me me and Wix there. "why not come with us?" i asked. "it's easier if we take our transportation, besides you can just fly from here right?" Apollo said. "i'd have to fly higher than I've been doing so far, but yeah as long as i stay out of human sight i should be able to do that." i said. my wings grew from my back and before i took off Luna said something to me "you know, you look older?" "i don't feel, or look older to me?" i said confused. "in you're fight with Lucifer did you feel time slipping like you were aging?" she asked. "now that you mention it, yes?" i said. "i knew it! in you're wing form you don't age you're semi-immortal so you don't notice a difference, but when you've lived as long as we have you start to notice it. you're humanoid form probably shouldn't be something you fight Lucifer with he'll be able to turn you into an old man or even dust. use your powers when fighting angels. see you later!" with that Luna melted into water and then evaporated. Apollo gave me a bit of a stare and then after bursting into flames disappeared. Wix and i were all alone for a few minutes while i try to relax before heading home. "shouldn't you hurry? they'll probably be there before us now?" Wix asked. "nah." i said and closed my eyes under the tree. i opened my eyes a second later after realizing i had just taken a nap and wasn't tired. i expanded my wings once again this time with nothing stopping me i jumped up as high as i could and began reaching heights i never though were possible. once i was passed the trees my wings sort of went onto autopilot and did all the work for me as i flew into sky and on my way home.
