"Why the he'll would you EVER let Max go hunting for dace!?!" I yell at Ouna as I practically throw the front door off its hinges and slammed it behind me." He could have gotten killed!"
" I didn't know he could get hurt. " As a lone tear falls down her cheek I sit down next to her slowly calming down on our black leather couch.
" Okay, but if you ever do that again I will throw you off the roof. " I smirk and laugh a horrific evil laugh.
" Hahaha very funny. " She mutters trying not to laugh. With her guard down I snatch the remote from her hand and fall to the ground with my wings splayed wide open so she can't reach me. " Hey give that back!" Ouna yells at me, "Urg! That's not fair your cheated!"
Laughing I say "your owe me anyway."
As I fall off my seat from the couch from laughing so hard I hear a knock on our front door. I quickly turn off the TV, jump to my feet, throw on a jacket, grab Max, and walk towards the door. As I open the door I realized it is only a man delivering a package. " Package for Angel Temp. "
My face pales and Max starts to growl.
Ouna walks up behind me and says, " Oh that's me. " in a shaky voice.
" Just sign here please, thank you. Have a nice day ladies. " He says.
I take the package from Ouna and set it on the table, and pace around the kitchen.
" Should we open it? "
" I don't know." Ouna says while picking at the tape.
We lock eye contact for two seconds and I pull out one of my Knives. I slit the tape only to find a lavender card and a gold wooden box with an A&T carved into it with fancy lettering.
I open and read the card.
Dear Angel,
As you know, I know you. I know what you did, what you've done, and what you are going to do exactly when you are going to do it.
For I know why you are afraid, and who you are afraid of.
Dearly,
Yours
P.S. It's not that you, or I, are afraid to tell our names. It's that we are afraid of what someone, or something, will do.
My heart drops as well as their letter. I start walking towards my room slowly but surely. I close the door behind me and slide down the other side.
Memories flood into my head. Memories that I had pushed down for as long as I can remember.
Ouna taps on the door and asks me if I would like the box. I say yes and she hands it to me through the whole of made punching the door once. As I shuffle through the pictures of days of old I stop on one particular one. The lake.
*FLASHBACK*
His blood red eyes stare into mine from across the lake. The crystal blue lake that changed me forever. As he swims under the surface of the water I jump in and meet him half way. As he pulls out lips together fireworks explode throughout my body. Together we swim up and snap out our wings. I pull mine in as tight as I can as he flies us to land. He lays me down on my feet and I rest my forehead on his chest as he pulls me into his strong arms.
"It will be fine. They can't hurt you as long as your here with me."
"But what if they do come back? "
" Than they will find us both. Just remember to never be afraid of who you are. Never be afraid to tell your name. But always be afraid of what people will do."
