The raindrops splattered on the windshield, preventing me from seeing where I was headed.
I drove with caution, squinting my eyes, until a silhouette appeared in the thunderstorm.
It was her.
I scrambled out of the car, drenched in seconds.
"Kelsey, please, get in the car!" I shouted, trying to make myself heard over the thunder, as I approached her.
"Stay away from me!" She screamed avoiding my touch. "I know what you did!"
Guilt flashed through me, "Kelsey, I can explain-"
"How can you possibly explain to me how you just killed a man?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grey eyes.
For most people, that would mean nothing, but not for Ryder.
For him, it's a sign that you're not human, but a descendant of a Fallen Angel.
So what if I told you that the new girl, Kelsey Simmers, shocks Ryder with her grey eyes. And Ryder is not easily shocked.
Now add demons and angels to the equation. That will give you an idea of how messed up this is going to get.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kelsey Simmers thought that moving to Wethermills was going to help her deal with her parents' death. What she wasn't aware of, was the fact that meeting Ryder Collins would inmerse her in a world of angels and demons . A world she was oblivious to. Until now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please say something?" I whispered, hoping she'll have something to say after my confession.
"I want to see them, " she cleared her throat.
"What?" I whispered in confusion.
"I want to see your wings, " she sounded more convinced than before. "Please."
Nodding my head, I took off my shirt, revealing my bare chest to her. Closing my eyes, I began to concentrate, trying to suppress a groan as I felt the pain shooting down my spine, as well as the sound of my bones cracking.
"Oh my God, " I heard her whisper.

"What the hell?! Kennedy!" I watch as Ryder turns around furiously and strides towards me. Oh oh. Maybe I took it too far... "What's wrong with you?! Did you really have to cover my car in pink sticky notes?!" He steps towards me and I take a step back. He steps forward again and I step back until I'm up against the wall. "Well if you would have left me alone when I told you to, I wouldn't have had to do it," I fire back. He chuckles. "You don't know what you just got yourself into." "What do you mea--" I get cut off by his lips on mine. I freeze. What was happening? And why did it feel so good? Ryder grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair. He bites down on my bottom lip softly. As I was about to part my lips, he pulls away. "Better watch your back," he says. He smirks at me and then turns around to leave. What just happened? ____________________ Kennedy is not like most girls.

I looked down at her, her hazel green eyes captivating me, I was so lost in her eyes all the noise around us seemed to diminish. My breathe was caught in my throat just by looking at her beauty. I tore my eyes away from hers and looked at her face, she was the most beautiful thing in the world! Her black hair hung just below her shoulders her small frame was perfect, she was gorgeous. I wanted, no needed her to be mine. She was mine, she was my mate and she was perfect. She stepped away from my arms I held the urge to just grab her body and bring it back to mine.

"Is that guy the person you're cheating on Jason with?" I demanded angrily. "He has been nothing but good to you, Kelsey, how could you just cheat on him? He's a good guy!" "No! Ryder, that's not what this is!" For whatever reason, I believed her. "Fine," I said eventually. "I swear not to punch the guy if you tell me what's going on."

"You like this, don't you?" Sam grins, running his tongue over his lip ring. "You're turned on by it." "Please," I wave my hand in dismissal. "You are," he accuses, his voice light. He does it again. I can't look away. "Stop." "Why should I? Little Miss 'I hate everyone at Ryder' really does find me irresistible. Who am I to deny her?" Sam's voice has something of an edge to it and my eyes snap to his. "'Little miss 'I hate everyone at Ryder', huh?" I ignore the second part of his jab. "That's right." I lean against my wardrobe, crossing my arms over my chest. "There's only a few people at Ryder I really can't stand, and you're at the top of my list." Sam's eyes narrow on me. "Is that so?" He turns from the mirror and takes a step in my direction. I refuse to back down, tilting my chin up to keep his gaze as he crowds into my space. His eyes hold mine until he's close enough that I can feel the warmth of his breath over my cheeks and his focus shifts to my mouth. He runs his tongue over the lip ring again, and I feel my own lips part slightly as he does it, my breath coming a little faster. My stomach is pulsing with a mix of nervousness and something I'm not totally ready to admit to myself. ---- Logan Grey's a 16 year-old girl with a penchant for Bob Dylan and running long distances.
