  ~Rebel~
  I wake up and roll off the bed, I look at my bed and see three feathers on it. God says if I I don't complete this task then I'll lose feathers leaving my wings all bony. He never told me what the task was though.
  I walk over to the kitchen and jump up when I hear a strange voice. "Morning." I look and see Kellin drinking a cup of coffee.
  "I forgot you were here." I sigh of relief and grab a cup making me one.
  "So what do I you plan on doing?" He asks.
  "Well, I'm almost 18 and I want to become a tattoo artist but I need to start out simple. Like a starter job." He nods.
  "Do you have any musical talent?" I nod.
  "I can play violin, bass, drums, guitar, piano...I'm not a good singer but I write songs." His eyes light up.
  "I've always wanted to be in a band!" He jumps up happily, I burst out laughing softly.
  "You're the most strangest person I've ever met." He shrugs.
  "So tell me, where is your family and what's your story?" I gulp.
  "My family left me so I started my own life, end of story."
  "Then explain to me why you have interesting wounds on your back." I forgot my shirt was shredded in the back, I gulp.
  "I can't." He nods.
  "Well my parents divorced when I was a little kid and my dad left me." I sigh.
  "How come you don't like paying attention in class?" I ask.
  "Because it's too hard."
  "Kellin you're not stupid, I know it." I look at him sadly. "You should focus more in case you want a job and the band thing doesn't work out."
  "But-"
  "I'm being realistic here, you never know what can happen." I sip my coffee quietly.
  "Why are you always shedding black feathers?" He asks, I cough and choke on the coffee.
  "No reason." He furrows his brows.
  "You're weird." If I ever told this beautiful child, he'd run out the door in less than five seconds. "Tell me."
  "Kellin if I do...you're gonna think I'm lying."
  "Bullshit-" he stops once we hear the sound of a window breaking. I turn around and see a guy in a mask approach us with a gun.
  "Get back!" I shout with my kitchen knife in hand. He doesn't budge and keeps going. I hear the gun click on his hand. Time slows for me and I hear the bang sound from the gun. My wings pop up and I push Kellin down wrapping the wings around us like a barrier. I scream and howl in pain when I feel two bullets go deeply inside me.
  I get up and break the guys neck instantly killing him. I use the small powers god left with me and burn his body.
  There was no evidence left, but there was a witness. "Woah." Kellin looks at me like I'm a freak. "Reb..." he looks at my black wings that shed two more feathers.
  "I'm a freak, and I know Kellin." I look down at the floor. My wings flutter a bit before staying stiff as a rock.
  "N-no...can I touch them?" I nod, I feel his warm hand lay softly against one of my wings. It flutters excitedly like a dog wags it's tail. He pets them like I'm a dog too.
  "Kellin...I'm not a dog so don't pet me like one."
  "S-sorry." I sigh and put them back.
  "That's why I've been shedding feathers, I'm a fallen angel."
  "Can you tell me why heaven sent you down here?"
  "I rebelled against god with Satan a long time ago because Satan and I fell in love. God didn't approve of this so he sent him down to hell, but I still love him to this day. God decided enough is enough and sent me down here to complete a task for him. If I don't complete it then my feathers will keep shedding off till it's all bone." Kellin nods.
  "Is Satan mean?" I burst out laughing at his question.
  "No Kellin, he's very beautiful and sweet. We watch you all the time." I smile. "But we don't know your future, just your past."
  "This is a lot to take in when I just met you."
  "Kellin if you tell anyone then I'm afraid I'll have to erase your memory or kill you."
  "I won't, I promise." I have no clue what I'm getting myself into right now, I should've just let all that happen without my wings coming out but they just did it on their own and my body moved even though I didn't move it myself. "Let me clean your wounds at least." I shake my head.
"It's f-fine kell-oh fuck." I collapse on the floor coughing up blood and gagging.
"See you're not fine, let me help, I'm not just a useless human." I sigh and nod.
"Take me to my room, I have all the medical supplies in there." He helps me to my room but grows impatient at my limping and carries me there bridal style. He didn't even flinch when he saw my wings, he wasn't afraid for some reason.
"Lay on your stomach." I lay down on my stomach. "I'm going to get some ice real quick to numb the pain."
Later he gets ice and puts it against my two gun wounds. I shiver at how cold it is. "There's other scars on here...did someone whip you?" I chuckle.
"If you mean by God and other angels then yes."
"Why?"
"Cause they hated Satan and I." I look at him. "Everyone hates him for no reason, because the stupid fake bible described him as a scary beast. But he's beautiful and sweet unless you get on his bad side."
"I believe you." Kellin smiles softly. "Time for the real stuff." He hands me a pillow. "Scream into this if you have to." I nod. I feel something poking into my back, I whimper.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" I scream out loud when I feel something trying to pull out the bullet. "WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT?!?!?"
"Pillow." He tells me, I scream into the pillow and bite it as hard as I could. "Almost done." I look at the two bloody bullets on a paper towel to my right.
"Oh god." I groan and rest my head against the bed.
"Almost Reb." He stitches up my wounds and wraps them. "Done." I sit up covering my breasts. "Did you not wear a bra...?" He asks while blushing.
"No, who the fuck wears a bra when they go to bed?" I ask.
"U-um...sorry."
"Why? It's just a human body, not like you've seen one before." He nods and walks away closing my door with the paper towel.
-Skip-
The rest of the day went fine, I patched up the window and cleaned up the glass. I unfurled my wings, another feather fell. I sigh and pick it up with wet tears springing free. "Another one." I pick up the new bottle of Jack Daniels and chug nearly half of it.
"Rebel...?" Kellin comes in. "What are you doing?" He asks nervously.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I snap back. I drink more.
"C-can I have some?" He asks, I nod.
-Another Skip-
Kellin passes out drunk, I've had two bottles and I'm still not drunk. I look down at him sleeping peacefully. I smile and run my fingers through his hair. "So he found out?" I look up at see Satan himself standing there smiling.
"Lucifer?" I ask standing up.
"He found out about us didn't he?" I nod sadly. "I'm glad." He smiles. "Can I see Kellin?" I move to the side. "We created this person with scraps from heaven, and he became this beauty." We smile at each other. "I had problems coming here but that didn't stop me from trying."
"I love you." I kiss his cheek.
"Rebel..." he frowns. "We shouldn't be doing this anymore."
"Why?"
"I've fallen for another person, and you live on earth now."
"B-but...you said you'd always love me no matter what." I choke back tears. "You Lied?!" Kellin stirred awake but I ignored him.
"Rebel please-"
"Get the fuck out, Lucifer. I never wanna see you again!" I shout while throwing an empty whiskey bottle at him. "Fuck off!" I shout, he disappears into thin air. I fall down crying in my hands. My wings flutter when I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I turn around and see Kellin holding on to me. He never said anything, just held me while I cried. "Lucifer and I created you with the little scraps the angels left us." I wipe away my tears, he looks at me full of interest. "When we sent you down, one of the angels decided to fuck it up. We wanted what was best for you but one of them ruined your life, I'm sorry." I sob into his chest.
"It's okay, I'm glad you're here though." I look up at him in silence before kissing the top of his head.
"You shouldn't hold onto a mess like me, it'll add more pain to you. And more shit to deal with." He shakes his head.
"Rebel, you're so broken that it's pathetic." My eyes water more. "You are a mess, and yes I should leave-" I stopped him with my crying. "But..." he lifts up my chin. "You're a beautiful mess that deserves better." My cheeks flush red when I feel his soft lips on mine. I close my eyes softly and give in to his kiss.
Can't believe I'm falling for a human.
