Darkness Awaits~

Chapter 6

(Lida's POV)

Imari couldn't meet me at the palace because of security so i decided to meet her at a close by cafe. i saw she wasn't there yet so i decided to order something. i walked up to the cashier. "Greetings, may i get a Double shot Con panna?" the cashier looked up at smiled "ah! your highness you have such a good taste with you're coffee selection, i'll have that right out to you."  Lida smiled "thank you, but please, i'm just another customer, even if i'm a princess i don't deserve more than what you're normal customers get." the Cashier nodded "as you wish Ma'am. i went and sat down as i saw a girl with a blonde ponytail walk in, i waved at her. "Imari." she smiled and sat in front of me, i was one of the only people Imari would talk to, shes actually really quiet despite her bad-ass attitude. the waitress approached us and handed me my con panna. i took a sip of my drink and thanked the waitress. I paid her and looked at Imari. "This morning I went to talk to my brother and there was some creepy figure... it almost looked like Hirai's sister" "hm... was the figure lightly glowing?" Imari reached into her hoodie pocket and pulled out a purple book. Imari studies magic and has taught herself some forms of magic, which is why people at school fear her. "uh.. yeah actually she had like this sunset like glow. but it was faint." "ah. she was an angel that once lived her life pure of heart. basically she's a ghost. Layla chose to spend the afterlife as Nagai's guardian angel."i stared in shock. "there's a ghost watching my brother?" Imari nodded. i took another sip of my drink and sighed "should i tell him?" Imari's eyes went wide "are you crazy? not only would that send your brother into shock but Layla would be cursed into becoming a fallen angel! guardian angels who are caught by the person their protecting are considered failures! she'd be forced to walk earth unhappy and she'd be seen as a freak for her black wings!" my heart dropped. " oh my god... wait didn't you tell me a while back how there were many types of fallen angels?" Imari nodded " their are, there are dark angels, Tortured angels, though they have been extincted since you have to torture someone in a very brutal way to change them into a tortured angel, there's too many to list basically." i nodded "okay.. i was wondering about the ghost thing cause it was clear as day but Nagai didn't notice her when she was right in front of him." "everyone can see her except him." i nodded to show i understood her. my phone buzzed, i pulled it out of my purse an checke my messages.  it was from my brother.

 N: Hey where are you? Dad's lookin' for ya

L: I'm at the Cafe down the block with Imari.

N: K, get home soon, I'll tell Dad your out.

L: K. Thx Bro :3

N: Yeah sure. don't mention it.

I smiled and put my phone back in my purse "The king lookin' for ya'?" i nodded an stood up, pushing my chair back in, i grabbed my drink and rank the last bit of it. i wave at Imari and walked out of the Cafe, walking back to the palace i called home.
