A Dusk's End

Chapter 16

I rubbed my eyes and then her eyes were back to there normal blue self.  I felt like I was just imagining it, though it looked real. She still had her innocent smile. I couldn't help but smile back. I couldn't understand why, but I could feel so much happier around her. Kendall walked in with a glass of tea, only to drop it as soon as she saw Dawn again. 
"Is everything okay?" Dawn asked Kendall.
Kendall then nodded but was shaking a bit. "Y-yeah, everything is just fine." Kendall responded with a awkward smile and then quickly walked out of the room. I was confused why she was acting this way, Ray seemed to have the same reaction when he saw Dawn earlier at the ice cream store. Something wasn't right, I turned to face Dawn, she seemed as confused as I was.
"Maybe she was just clumsy." I suggested.
Dawn then looked at me."Yeah, I have the tendency to be clumsy myself. 
I still couldn't help but feel happy still, even when worried I felt happy. Why was that though? Was there something I didn't see that they did? I just ignored it and talked to her some more. After a bit, Ray came into the room and paused for a minute. 
"Hey Chase, mind if we talk for a bit?" He asked me.
I turned to face him. "Yeah sure." I said then turned back to Dawn. "I'll be right back." 

Dawn nodded and I went over to Ray and we walked out of the room.

For some reason we walked somewhere upstairs. Ray then told me to sit down, so I did and wondered what he wanted. He then say on the bed if front me and sighed.
"Have you been feeling happier around her lately?" He asked me.
"Yeah, but isn't that how I am suppose to feel around her?" I asked in confusion.
"Yeah good point." He responded. "Well have you seen anything odd about her? Perhaps something to do with her eyes?" 
When he asked that, I could tell there was something definitely odd. Was her eyes actually shinning white earlier? What actually made me more curious is why he wanted to really know.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked him.
"I asked you first." Ray pointed out.
"I won't tell you squat if you don't tell me why." I said to him.
"Fine, but I won't tell you how much danger you're in." He said.
After he said that, I knew that I had to tell him. I rather not be in any danger as possible.
"Fine, I think her eyes were shinning white. What does it matter?" I asked.
"That's the problem, she's not what you think she is." He explained. "She's an angel." 
My mind just exploded when he said that. I guess it explained why Alan was interested in her, she's not Faunus. Ray said before that Angel's were our enemies, though he did convince one to be on his side. So, couldn't we do that same with her?
"Can we convince her to be on our side like you did with Kendall?" I asked.
He then shook his head at me. "She's not an easy one to convince, Kendall knows who she is." Ray pointed out. 
"Wait what!" I yelp in shock. 
"She's one of demon hunters of heaven." Ray explained. "She's not one to be messed with." 
"Does she know I'm a demon?" I asked. 
"Very unlikely. If she did, she would've definitely killed you by now." Ray pointed out. 
I then felt relieved when he said that.
"Though, she could very well be waiting to kill you."
"Yeah, thanks for confidence buddy." I said sarcastically.
"No problem!" Ray respond excitedly while giving out a thumbs up. "But look, be careful around her, you never know what to expect." 
I then nodded but before I walked off, something crossed my mind. I then turned to Ray once more. 
"How does Dawn not notice Kendall?" I asked him.
"She does, just has no reason to attack or transform. She doesn't know there's demons here." Ray responded.
I nodded and understood. As long as I keep a low profile, so she won't retaliate. Though, it doesn't change my feeling for her. I love her, even if she is dangerous. I worked too hard to just let it go. 

I walked back down stairs and saw Dawn reading something.  It was a purple book with an odd title. It said "My Demons," which was ironic since she's an angel. Though, this also made me curious on the history of demons themselves. I wondered how much Ray knew or cared to know. I then sat by Dawn again and laid on her shoulder. I could see her smile too, I loved her. Dawn looked at me and kissed me. If she did really know I'm a demon, would she act this way towards me? I guess I'll never truly know. 

After about an hour, Dawn had to leave for work. I didn't realize it before, but she actually works at the dinner where our date was at. I guess even angels have to work for money. I missed her as soon as she left. Which too be honest, felt kinda pathetic but true. Though happiness like this will most likely end sooner than I realize. With Alan on the run and waiting to fight us once more, I'll end up with a choice. If I know movies, and I do, I'll most likely have to save one of them. If Mark's prophecy is true, then I'll be choosing either Ray or Dawn. Though I hate the idea of it, I can't deny it to be true. Though it troubles me when I think of it. I hate the fact that I would loose someone like him, after all he's done. I can't actually prove this will happen, but I have the feeling, no matter what decision I choose, I'll be loosing Ray.

I could feel a tear falling from eye of the thought of loosing him. He was my only friend, the only person who made me feel better about myself. He's what got me to Dawn, he's what got me to who I am. Am I the reason he'll die? Am I the reason of anything happening now?  I felt week and pathetic. Ray then sat beside me. He turned to me and noticed tears were falling from eyes. 
"What's wrong bud, you miss that much?" He smirked.
I turned to him and then hugged him.
"Jeez um...touchy much." He said awkwardly.
"Mark said you would die because of a choice I make, a decision of choosing a side." I explained.
"You do know Mark is not always right?" He pointed out.
"What?" I asked while looking up.
"Yeah, he's failed to predict a few, though most of the time he dead on." He responded.
"Again, making me confident." I said sarcastically.
"Again, your welcome." He responded with a smirk.
He wasn't even afraid that of death. Maybe he just didn't want to think about it, maybe I should do the same.
