Those With Wings

Home

Luanna's POV

I didn't know what else to do but leave. I had to find a place to live. I couldn't just accept all of this, with nothing in return.

But now I know they are after him.

Demons go after anyone and everyone who can see them. Me, Zero, Alex. We are the targets in this world. Someone has to kill them.

But what if Zero gets killed?

I promised, and I don't break promises. Never, ever.

I turned around to look at his house, I haven't even left the property yet.

Dammit, why did it have ta be all bright and sunny now?

I bowed my head and cried even more. I haven't cried this much since as long as I could remember. Maybe that's what I came here to do. Protect Zero from being killed.

Maybe that's how I can pay them back.

As I walked up to the door, Zero opened it. He had a big smile on his face. "I knew you'd come back" I hugged him, as his laughter mocked me, and he held me.

"I must...I must protect you...from those demons out there...that's why...that's why I came back!" I cried, and ended up shouting, and I started to glow. I had no clue what had happened, but I wasn't sure I wanted to know.

"Luanna, are you...are you okay?" Zero asked, stopping his laughter, and was concerned with me. "Why are you.../glowing/?"

"I-I don't know, but it's a very warm feeling, I like it," I told him.

"Luanna, the one with wings. Last one of her type, how have you allowed yourself to become in love with someone without wings?" This voice asked, as though as it was mocking me. I knew who it was. It was the leader of the place where I came from.

"I-I do not love him Sir!" I told him.

"Luanna, you must come back if you want war to be avoided-"

"No. I am never going back. You cannot make me. Send all the demons you want. I will kill them. I do not care about that place. It was in my past, and is no longer important to me. I have let go of my past, and now am living in the present. If you have a problem with that, then go to the demons yourself."

"Luanna-"

"This is a free country, you are not my parent or guardian, and so, you have no control over me."

"I could-"

"No you couldn’t so back off. You lay one finger on me, or Zero, and you'll be my next victim, got it?"

"But-"

"I don't care who you are! Just leave me alone!" I screamed, and that voice was gone. I fell to the ground in pain, of him trying to take over my brain, but I won. Because Zero did something. He hugged me. His aroma could undo almost anything. I do not know much about it, but it was powerful.

"Luanna, are you okay"

"Yes," I replied staring up into his dreamy eyes, "I have never felt better"
