Clipped Wings

XII

June 24th

Harper is sat in her favourite park still dress in the outfit she went to the ball in the only difference is that her hair no longer neatly braided it lay undone just slightly wavy. Her gloves shoved in her clutch bag as she pulled at the grass around her tears falling freely from her eyes.

"I'm in deep deep trouble aren't I."Harper says as she pulls out a large clump of grass the bottoms of her wings turning black as she got angrier and angrier with each tug of the ground.

"Well let's just say you need to be put into some type of confinement on your own while you figure out your shit ." Finnegan rants behind her.

Harper turns sharply to face him her lips going from drooping to the ground to turning up right at the sight of him in the same suit as earlier sans the mask he had been wearing. Getting up off the ground was an effort but Harper managed it on her own dusting down her dress freeing it from the blades of grass she had picked up.

"Finnegan Ridley. How dare you poof away after you kissed me.Don't you dare do that again." Harper jokes pouting at him as he holds his hand out for Harper to take.

"Sorry Clancy. It's kinda my thing and don't be trying to burn down buildings just to get me to kiss you. It was a one time thing. Spur of the moment. I thought I could either give you a taste of this juicy ass or have your uncle snap my neck. I chose the first one because as much as I hate to admit you're the first semi pure breed I have enjoyed hanging out with. Like teaching a baby bird to swim ... that's you you know finding your feet in the bad path of life." Finnegan starts but Harper shakes her head the wind blowing a piece of hair right over her face but Finnegan moved it away without her even asking him to do so which made her heart rate soar.

"Did you just compare me to a baby bird. I swear you said as a child you would follow the ducks into the stream and murder each and every one of them the moment they learnt to swim." Harper questions and Finnegan places his hand over her mouth the shut her up.

"That is beside the point dear. What ever happened to the Clancy that would adore a compliment like that without ridiculing it. Maybe I am getting soft. Urgh who am I becoming. This is disgusting remind me to never hang out with your kind again .... ouch you bitch" Finnegan snaps as Harper licks the palm of his hand.

Finnegan almost instantly out of reflect pulled his hand away from her mouth. Producing a bottle of hand sanitiser he slathered it on grimacing as he did so. Harper on the other hand just giggled at how over dramatic he was being it was just a bit of saliva besides he had it in his mouth not too long ago what was the difference.

" I knew it you aren't all blood , sex and charisma you do have a heart. I Harper Marie Clancy have tamed the infamous Finnegan Ridley. I am the queen of the world." Harper exclaims spinning around her eyes shinning bright gold as Finnegan pouted like an upset child who isn't allowed to stay up past six.

Harper singing to herself about how she was the best angel ever as even though Finnegan was tainting her she was purifying him which some how equalised the bad that was now manifesting itself in her. Glad her clumsy ass bumped into him that day as she would have continued on living like a perfect angel but would have never realised the potential fun she could have being a little bad every now and again with a devilishly handsome dark angel by her side.

"I still can Kill you Clancy. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away ... blah blah blah. The point is I spared your life to give you a chance at being bad for my own enjoyment the moment I get fed up say hello to your grave and I hate to break it to you doll face you won't be meeting those pearly gates." Finnegan states as Harper continues to spin around him like in that one scene in the sound of music everybody knew but had hardly watched the actual musical.

"How you gonna kill me Ridley?" Harper questioned in a sing song voice as Finnegan grabbed her arm stopping her from spinning. So she was flush against his chest catching her off guard Harper let out a little squeak as Finnegan's left hand tormentingly ran up the side of her hip touching her face softly.

"Firstly If I am not killing you after sex I will let you get ready for bed make you feel safe in your own home So when you do come to your senses the adrenaline rush makes me feel alive. I assume like most good angels you wear some granny night gown. White lace trim and all." Finnegan whispers in her ear spinning Harper around effortlessly so her back was flush against his stomach. Holding her in place were his arms that tightly held her waist against him so she couldn't wiggle away. But she wasn't going to she was in a trance focusing on Finnegan's heart beat which was calm and steady while her's was all over the place unsure with what was going on.

"Then , as you turn off the light I will appear at the end of your bed. I wait until your breathing reaches a stable rhythm so I know you're asleep.Climb on top of the bed making sure not to wake you otherwise there will be a struggle and I an not about that life. As your eyes flutter open still half asleep I'll ... " Finnegan starts before leaning down slightly to kiss Harper's neck her breathe catching in her throat as he did so. Her eyes burning bright gold as her heart beat quickened and her hands fell limp to her side. Finnegan knew he had her in the palm of his hand.

Finnegan smirked into the crook of her porcelain skin moving away just as he could feel Harper falling under his spell. Taking his left hand he traced the side of her all the way up to her collar bone. Almost fondeling it slowly as Harper's breathes got shallower and shallower with each touch. His right arm firmly around her waist just in case she tried to wriggle away. He wasn't too sure.

"Then what." Harper breathes out as Finnegan laughs his finger nails turning into sharp claws. Harper's breath no existent as she feels the sharp edge of his nails tickle the skin at the base of her neck .
