Chapter 10.2

After school, I went to talk with one of my new angel friends, Miranda. She's been at the Arc of Light since she was seven and me for a few days. We sat next to each other in class so I guess that's how we became friends.

"Hey, Zoe! You've been able to read minds haven't you?" she said. I flatered. Does she know of the Dark Angel Incident?

"How did you know?" I asked.

"It's a rumor around the school that you're the most advanced. So, I was wondering if you've learned how to read minds!" she said in her bubbly tone.

"Yeah. Why?" I asked.

"Well, I was wondering about something. I have a crush on this guy and...I really want to know if he feels the same and so I want you to read his mind and all," she said quietly.

"Who is it?" I asked again.

"It's...Xander Walters," she said, turning beet red. I faltered my steps once again.

"What?!" I yelled.

"I mean, it's okay if you don't want to..."she said. But I didn't here her. Her in love with one of my best friends. I gotta speak to Lyon about this...but, NO. I am so not speaking to him about love because he'll tease me for eternity (or however long angels live). I gotta ask Xander. Xander. Straightforward in the face.

"I'll do it," I said. Miranda brightened.

"Thank you!" she said. She extended her wings and flew away. I flew up too, looking for Lyon and his dorm. I found them, Lyon on the couch and Xander tending a little rose. I flew straight through the window.

"What the-" Lyon said.

"Zoe!" Xander said.

"What are you doing? Who flies straight through and open window on the ninth floor?!" Lyon yelled.

"Me. Now, Xander we need to talk," I said.

"What I didn't do anything wrong!" he said.

"In your room, now," I said.

"But-" Xander started before I took this ear and pulled it toward the door.

"Xander, who do you like?" I asked. He turned beet red.

"You like me?" he said, "What? Cause I don't really like you cause you're so bossy and-"


"SHUT UP!!! I don't like 'like-like' you, but I like you as a friend. Okay, that sounded stupid. I'm saying if you have someone on your mind who you think is cute," I said quickly.


"Well...I guess there's one person who I 'like-like'..." he said.


"Who? Who?" I said. Was it Miranda?


"It's, well, it's...Faith, "he whispered. Face Palm! What the heck? Faith?! Oh My God, does she have the same feelings?


"Oh, okay then," I said with an impossible to keep straight face.

"Wait, you're acting like nothing happened? What the heck? Who were you hoping for because..." he trailed on. I got so pissed off right then so I punched him in the stomach, went out, and slammed the door. I was surprised to see Lyon outside.


"What was going on in there?" he asked.


"None of your business," I said. He smiled his lopsided smile.


"You were talking about, luh-ve!" he said, putting emphasis on the first syllable of the word.


"Maybe," I retorted.


"What's going on? Were you seriously hoping that he would like you?" Lyon said.


"Shut it! I was not!" I yelled. Then, I told him the whole story. About Miranda liking Xander and Xander liking Faith.


"Listen up. I really think you should talk to Faith about this. Maybe she likes Xander back...?" Lyon suggested. He actually looked serious.


"Yeah, right," I said, "I was walking in front of her room and on the door, I saw a picture of Xander and a scribbled mustache, beard, and a cigarette on his face and a giant X. No way Faith likes him," I said.


"Then, go ask Faith who she likes," Lyon said.


"In her Justin Bieber room? Uh, like, no way," I said. Lyon smiled again. The lopsided one.


"You actually sounded like a girl!" he laughed. A few seconds later, he was rubbing his thigh and wincing.


"You were saying?" I asked impatiently.


"Just go ask Faith about her love life. Outside your room if you have to," he muttered, "God, I think I'm gonna get an icepack."


"Fine. Thanks for your advice," I started making my way back to the window before I asked, "How do you know all this stuff?"


He shrugged, "At our old school, everyone's talking about their love and crushes and talking to people. Guess that's where I picked up my knowledge about love." I stared at him for a second and then he started to smile. I just had to smile back. He's gonna be my best friend forever no matter what happens. NO! I don't, like, like him, but I like him as a friend. Oh, well you get the idea. Hopefully.


Off to Faith.


I flew off to her room and knocked on her window. "Faith, we need to talk," I yelled. She looked at the window, startled. She opened her window.


"What was it you needed?" she asked.


"Come on. We're going to Cloud Lounge," I said. Faith stepped out the window, extended her wings, and flapped.


"Then, lets go!" she giggled. She flew off. Faith can  be such a girl. I closed the window and tried not to look in her horrible room full of lipstick and nail polish and love posters full of-UGH!- I closed the window fast and tried not to puke. I think I might have tasted it in my mouth halfway.


I saw the Cloud Lounge a few meters away. The Cloud Lounge, well, its exactly what it sounds like: a lounge made of clouds. We walked up to the manager who was Danny.


"Hey Danny! Can we please have a private room? Please?" I asked. Danny frowned.


"You should have booked one before. But, for now...I guess I'll make a suggestion..." he said.


"Thank you!" I said.


I walked straight in and Danny threw me the keys. "Room 3C!" he yelled. I waved and unlocked the door. In there, there was a sofa, TV, and a glass table. I stepped in and plopped on the sofa. Faith made herself some coffee.


"Hey, Faith. Do you like Xander?" I said. Faith stopped pouring the coffee beans.


"Depends. Friendly or Love?" she asked.


"Love," I said.


"Have you seen my room?"


"Well, yes."


"Then, you already know the answer." No.


"Then, who do you like?"


"Depends. Friendly or Love."


"Dude, you know what I mean."


"Then there's this one guy." Faith poured the coffee in her insulated mug.


"Who?" I asked.


"Hmm...I guess I sorta like that Danny guy out there," she said. Oh. My. God.


"I'll be back soon, Faith," I said. I exited the room and went straight up to Danny.


"What do you need now?" he sighed.


"Question: Remember that girl next to me? Faith? Do you like her?" I asked. I wanted to get straight to the point already.


"No. I like Miranda, sorta kinda," he said. By then, I realized this circle stops here. It all comes back to her. I was ready to faint.


I quit.


Sorry. Hope you like!

Chapter 10

"Please, Miss Penny. I need all the info I can. We could try and stop the Dark Society if we can change him to the light," I explained.


"You mean change him back to light," she sniffled.


"It's okay, if you don't want to. I can understand that," I said. Miss Penny looked away. Now wasn't the time. I bit my lip and flew straight through the hole. Xander, Faith, and a not paralyzed Lyon were waiting.


"Hey," Lyon said. I squeezed his hand tight.


"Glad to see you're up and running," I said.


"Thank God you guys are alright. I was so worried that-" Miss Penny started.


"We're fine, ma'am. Just fine. And we promise we won't tell anyone...RIGHT GUYS?" I said turning around. They mumbled yes.


"You should get going, " I said to Miss Penny. She nodded, wiped her eyes, and flew off.


"Come on, you guys. We could make it in the dorms in time if we hurry," Lyon said. I nodded and flew as fast as I could.


I don't know about Lyon or Xander, but we were caught. The guards surrounding the building were doing their nightly watch and saw us. Faith whimpered and I bit my tongue.


"So what? We've done nothing wrong. We were just with Miss Penny. We had to ask a question about our most recent lesson," I said. Faith nodded quickly. It wasn't exactly a lie: we were with Miss Penny, but not asking the question. The guards still glared.


"Give me your hand Zoe and Faith," the guard said gruffly. We held out our hands. He drew a needle and pricked our skin. I gasped to see that our blood was a golden color. I hoped Faith was seeing the same. He drew some drops of our blood and somehow examined.


"Bloody Eye!" he said. Whatever he was doing, it sounded freaky. Was he going to give us a bloody eye. Because if he does, I'll give him one back and...


"You're clear. Get going girls," he said. We thanked him and went upstairs to our room. I flopped on that Egyptian bed and dozed off...






"Psst. Psst. Zoe," I heard someone say. Half-asleep, I grabbed the person by the shirt and put my fist in their face.


"Ouch," Miss Penny's muffled voice said. I let go quickly and fell to my knees.


"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" I whispered loudly. She smiled and I got back to my senses.


"What are you doing here an-" I said. Miss Penny covered my mouth. Then, she leaned in closer to my ear.


"It's not safe. We're going to my place. Leave Faith behind. Lyon's with us and so is Miss Noelle," she whispered. I wiped some spit off and followed her silently in the night.


We stopped at the Castle of the Sun. We flew into the window and I saw Lyonsittting down next to Miss Noelle. If you do not remember, Miss Noelle is the ruler of the Light Angels.


"Ah, Zoe, please sit," she said kindly. I sat down next to her and Miss Penny sat next to Lyon. We all sat there in silence until Miss Noelle broke the silence.


"So, seems you made your first encounter with a Dark Angel, Zoe and Lyon," Miss Noelle said. Lyon and I nodded with our heads down. Were we in trouble?


"It's my fault, ma'am. I-" Miss Penny started.


"No, Penny. It's no one's fault that Mr. Nara appeared, but I am disappointed in you for showing them the REAL world. I mean the real world," Miss Noelle said.


"As for you two, tell me what happened," she said, turning to us, "or at least Zoe explain."


And so I did. I told her about how we saw over the OverShadow and how we learned that world is hell. Also about Cameron appearing and Miss Penny crying. And how Lyon was injured, I fought and won against that Dark Angel, and how Cameron and Miss Penny have some kind of history. Miss Noelle nodded and nodded and Lyon looked at me intently.


Miss Noelle went back on Miss Penny. "History?" she asked. Miss Penny gulped.


"Cameron...is my son," Miss Penny said. I gasped. SON?


"Son?" Lyon asked.


"Well, half-son," she said.


"Tell us everything you know," Miss Noelle ordered after she recollected herself. Miss Penny took a deep breath and began.


"It all started when I found the little boy crying on Earthland. I knew he was a light angel at the spot. I rushed over to him and asked him what was wrong. His parents had died in a war and was left here. I took him under my wing, literally, and led him to the Arc of Light," she said.


"How come I didn't know about this?" Miss Noelle inquired.


"He made me swear to never tell anyone about him. I didn't know what he was going to do but  snuck him food and let him sleep in my bed and sewed him clothes. I really ordered him, really."


"One day, he asked for some forbidden objects. Time Shower, Star Spurt, and a petal of the darkest flower in the world, the Moonflower," she said.


"Isn't the moonflower a beautiful flower?" Lyon asked.


"Moonflowers may look pretty, but in the real world...they're dark, thorny, and very powerful in Dark Casting," Miss Penny explained, "Anyway, I asked why and he took a knife and put it at his neck. 'If you don't, I'll commit suicide,' he said. I had to, because..." Miss Penny trailed.


"Because?" I asked.


"Because our clan, the Scarlet clan, is dedicated to serve the Nara Clan," she muttered.


"Whoa, whoa! What is up with this clan stuff? Cause this is really confusing!" I said.


"Clans are like a family ancestry. It depends on the last name and what they've done. For example, in my record, the Scarlet clan had offended the Nara clan, because Zach Scarlet had stole an ancient scroll only meant for the Nara clan. So, when Zach opened it he was cursed for life," Miss Noelle explained.


"Continuing? I found the ingredients and gave them to Cameron. He took them, gave me a big hug, and went out to get water. I went into the study and looked for a book called 'Forbidden Spells' in there. I looked up 'moonflower' and found the usage. Here, I have the page in my pocket. Zoe, you read," Miss Penny said.


"'Moonflower: darkest flower in the world. Used only for forbidden spells. This flower contains dark magic and is forbidden by the Light Council but used much in the Dark Council. Can make much dark magic. Ex: Heart Transplant and Time Arc'," I read.


"Before I realized what was happening he was already finished and drank the potion. He had probably read the book and decided to use it for his own selfish reasons. There, his wings turned from a brilliant white to a stormy black. He left the Arc Of Light for good," Miss Penny said as she shuddered.


"Well, that explains it. Thank you. You may leave now," Miss Noelle said. Miss Penny flew out and it was just us three.


"Well, Lyon and Zoe, we have your first mission. And at such a young age... Anyway, you need to track down Cameron and change him into a Light Angel. Even though its been forbidden by the Light Council, I'm sure they'll make an exception. We're a forgiving kind. That's your first mission. You have three days to get things straight," she said. We nodded.


Our first mission? I glanced over to Lyon who smirked. Scared? Not one bit.


Sorry for the wait guys! Hope you haven't abandoned me!! Hope you like the new chapter. I've decided to post every Thurs. for now on. Have fun!

Chapter 9

Whoa? Cameron Nara? And Miss Penny knows him!? Who the heck is he? 


"Cameron? What happened? WHAT!?" Miss Penny screamed. She hiccuped and began to sob. She buried her face into her palms.


"Who are you, butt head? And what the heck are you doing?!" I yelled. Cameron smirked at me, which made me even more enraged.


"Why don't you ask your teacher? SHE knows why anyway!" Cameron said.


"Miss Penny..." I mumbled.


"Cameron! CAMERON!!!" she sobbed again.


"I don't want to know your history! I want you to get out! Or I'll..." I said. Cameron cackled.


"Try me," he said, "I'm game." I rushed at him and he swooped up easily. I tried again and he swooped around me.


I haven't been taught this, but the only way to do this is to think the spells and not be noticed by him. That way, I'll be able to catch him by surprise. I thought. I closed my eyes while flying, praying to God that I wouldn't hit something...


Invisibility!! I thought. Then I quickly thought the three steps of casting. Think, Clear, Become. I opened my eyes and saw my enemy. I looked down and saw my invisible self. Guess I'm clear.


"Pretty smart, kiddo. You learned how to mind-cast," Cameron said, "I'll go easy on you, for now."


I slowly flew around, hoping that he wouldn't feel a breeze from my flapping. Then, I came behind him and rushed straight at him. He turned around in surprise and flew up a second before I could hit him.


"I'll tell you that I underestimated you, kiddo. I'll give you that," he said. I became visible again and found myself panting a little. "Don't think that I'm still going easy. It's play time."


I then burst into flames. I rushed at him with a scowl on my face.


"Don't burn up! You'll just get smoldered!" he said, playfully. Suddenly, the fire was gone and my body was covered up in a very thin layer of soot. I got even more pissed.


"What are you?!" I said.


"Hasn't Miss Penny told you anything about casting? This kind of casting is a forbidden one. Forbidden castings are both banned in the dark and light. Both fear this kind of art could bring back the dead in the past and bring us forward to the future. They also fear this kind of cast is one that can heal and kill someone instantly," Cameron said.


"But, wouldn't that be helpful?" I questioned.


"You sure got a lot to learn, kiddo. Of course its helpful! But, its also dangerous. It can cause a rebellion in leadership and a wars that could go on forever. You can accidentally revive enemies instead of dead allies. For everything, there is a price," Cameron explained, "But, Miss Penny thought otherwise."


A loud sob cried from below.


"SHUT UP!!!" I yelled as I rushed him again with fire. He smirked again and set them out.


"Fire ends up as soot in the end. I just sent your fire in the future, kiddo," he said. I started to panic. This isn't going as well as I thought. Soon, my panic grew to anger.


"Give it up already, kiddo. It's too late now. You can't change the future or the past!" Cameron said.


"NEVER!!!" I yelled. This time, I burst into flames. But, these flames felt different than my regular bursts. This kind of fire was hotter and brighter and more amazing. Miss Penny looked up at us with widened tear streaked eyes.


"I told you, kiddo. I'll just-" he said, before he stopped speaking. His eyes widened in fear. What's going on I didn't care about. All I thought about was him being defeated.


I decided to try and search through his mind. There has to be a cast for that, right? Think. I thought about brains and magic. Clear Mind. Blank mind? Check. Become. Soon, I was able to go in his mind.


"What? Why can't I put out the fire? What's going on?" it echoed. I came out of his mind and rushed right at him. He flew back faster.


"Dark Shield!" he yelled. A dark bubble encased him. Darker than the air, which was a deep purple. I just kept going. The fire started to be even hotter, but I wasn't burned or anything. God, lets keep moving. I rammed through his shield a couple times until it cracked open. He looked at me in terror as I rammed through him. I went right through him. Did I miss?


A yell of pain echoed all around me. I looked up. His chest had a ripped hole that went through him. I must have hit a vital point. It was so disgusting, I felt as if I was going to throw up. I turned off the fire, smirked at him, and rushed back to Miss Penny.


"Are you okay?" I asked as I rubbed her back.


"I'll be fine," Miss Penny said, "So will Cameron."


"What?! I hit a vital spot! Straight at the chest!" I said.


"Remember, child. He can heal himself and his own body. That wasn't his vital point. You need to hit him wherever his true heart is," she gulped.


"That doesn't make sense! I'm not a genius, but I know that your heart's in the square of your chest!" I said.


"He hid his own true heart. It's not in his body," she whispered.


"That's...that's crap! You can't take your heart out and still live!" I yelled.


"He's from the Nara bloodline. His blood is from a special family which can take out body parts and still live. It includes the heart," Miss Penny said. I looked up and saw that his chest was back to normal.


"You're a monster!" I screamed.


"You're not bad, kiddo. Guess I really overestimated ya. Don't think this is it. I'm coming back," he warned as he flew off in the darkness. I turned back to Miss Penny and softened my voice.


"Let's get going, ma'am," I said. Miss Penny nodded and flew up with a tear streaked face.


What else is coming? I don't give a crap about it, but I needed to train harder. If I want to beat him.


"Hey, Miss Penny?" I asked. She looked up.


"What do you know about Cameron Nara?" I asked.

Chapter 8

Let's sum up what we've seen so far.


1) Earth = Hell. Pretty scary.
2) We're angels of light. Emphasis on light.
3) We're being attacked by the Dark Society.


The dark winged thing disappeared. Lyon and I looked around.


"Faith! Xander! Fly upward! Get out!" I yelled. They stared and saw the scared look on my face. Knowing that I'm one of the most fiercest people, they backed off and flew back up to the Arc Of Light.


"Zoe, Lyon. You guys should leave too. This could get ugly," Miss Penny said.


"What?! Are you out of your mind!?" Lyon yelled.


"We're so not leaving you!" I said. Miss Penny sighed.


"GO!" she said. Lyon being Lyon and me being me, we didn't. We're one of the most stubborn people (or angels?) of all time. We're not going to back out of this.


"Shadow Serene!" Miss Penny said. She stared around and started flying in one direction. Then, she turned. I still couldn't see anything except for this madhouse.


"LYON!" Miss Penny yelled. He turned around, but it was too late. The dark angel came up behind him.


"Eye of Paralysis!" the dark angel guy said. His eyes started to turn a fierce yellow. Lyon stopped flapping his wings and fell.


"Lyon!" I said. I caught him just before he fell onto the ground. Surprisingly, he was lighter than before. But, where could I put him?


"Angel Cloud Technique!" Miss Penny yelled. A bed with the made of clouds appeared in front of us. It had wings too, just like an angel. Pure white. I placed Lyon and the cloud flew up to the Arc Of Light.


"Dancing Swords!" Miss Penny yelled. A bunch of swords were summoned and were heading straight for the dark angel.


"Time Arc!" the dark angel said. The swords stopped and fell to the ground.


"Time Arc?! You're-" Miss Penny cried.


"Cameron Nara, Dark Angel," he finished.


"Huh?" I said.


"What-what happened to you?!" Miss Penny wailed.

Chapter 7

"So, class, let's work on our invisibility skills," our teacher, Miss Amy, said, "Get in a line and let's see what you guys can do." Miss Amy was another teacher at the Academy of Light.


Two days have passed since the window breaking, cut healing incident and we're at the academy. We're put in this more advanced class called Advanced 1. Of course, it includes me, Lyon, Faith, and Xander.


I, being the leader, went straight ahead to the line, known that I can do this. Even though I've just learned it today. Lyon, Xander, and Faith nervously came up behind me. Everyone else followed their lead, going up one by one looking nervous.


"Newbies, going first? Pretty interesting. Tell me, what's your name again?" Miss Amy said.


"Zoe Gi. And no, I really don't prefer to be called 'newbie'," I replied. Miss Amy turned a bit red.


"Go ahead, Zoe. Let's see what you got," she said.


I took a deep breath and remembered the steps Miss Amy gave me. Focus, Clear Your Mind, Become. Okay, dude. You can do this. Focus, Clear Your Mind, Become. Focus. I thought thoughts about magic, the invisible gateway to the Arc of Light. Clear Your Mind. Get rid off every worry, every little thing. Become. Invisible.


I looked around. Everyone was staring at me, including Lyon, Faith, Xander. Even Miss Amy. I looked at my hands. Or where they should be. All I saw was open air. I started to panic, thinking that my conscience floated off to La La Land. Then, I felt them brush against my hip.


I became.


"Zoe..." Faith started, but couldn't finish.


"So, ma'am. Did I do okay?" I asked. I clearly hated it when this happens. Everyone gaping at me and I have no clue why. Miss Amy didn't answer. All she did was stop the gaping, smile, and clap. Lyon followed and everyone else did after that. I think I heard Xander give a little whoop.


Everyone's spirits were lifted after that. Lyon and the rest of the team stepped forward and did their thing. Everyone else followed. Soon, I was congratulated by the whole class.


"Great job, class! You're now Tied with the spell!" she said happily. And everyone cheered.


"Wait, Tied?" I asked a fellow student.


"It means you're allowed to use this spell freely throughout your life. You can use it whenever you want," he replied. Then, he started to pump his fist in the air. That's when I felt something clap upon my shoulders. I jumped and saw no one was there. Then, Lyon appeared out of nowhere.


"Gotcha!" he said with his lopsided smile.






"That's it?" I said, when the academy day was over.


"That's right, Zoe. You just have this class and its done. One class per day. Each day, there's a new class waiting for you," Miss Penny, the school headmaster, said. We were about to leave until Miss Penny said to wait. We stopped dead in our tracks.


"I want to show you something. Something that only angels in commission can only see," Miss Penny said. Xander turned around immediately.


"Why?" he said.


"This is important. I have a feeling you'll be in Intermediate Classes soon enough. I mean, look at you guys. You're the talk of the school. You learned one of the hardest spells in Advanced Class in about an hour and thirty minutes. Miss Noelle can't even believe. She thinks you're pretty special in everything. I mean, she told us to let you skip Beginner," she explained.


"Fine, let's have it," I said. Miss Penny walked out of the room and we followed her to someplace I haven't seen.


"This is the Commission Dock. You leave out of this. We're going to go on a little tour here," she said. She leaped off the cloud island and took a nosedive. We followed. Miss Penny kept going until we could see Earth.


"This is Earth," she said.


"Uh, yeah. Can you skip to the part where we can see what you're talking about?" I said.


"Focus, Zoe. It takes focus to see beyond," Miss Penny said.


But, focus on what?, I thought. It's just plain old land down below. Nothing to see. Nothing in this friggin' wasteland.


"Whoa," Lyon said. I looked back at him and he looked terrified. Something you don't see everyday. I started to laugh.


"C'mon, Lyon! It's just Earth. What's wrong?" I cried out. Lyon started to turn pale. Okay, that was serious. Lyon was definitely seeing something other than this.


Okay, time to focus. Miss Amy said you can use those steps to do anything. I closed my eyes. Focus. It was obviously something you need to see so I thought of ravens' eyes and telescopes. Clear Your Mind. Obviously time to wipe out your worries, your fears, even though I sort of felt scared myself. I stayed like this for a couple of minutes. Become. What to become, I had no freaking idea, but I opened my eyes and-


"KYAAHH!!!" I yelled. I flew up and grabbed on to Lyon's hand.


"First time I've ever seen you freak out like that. I thought you said it was 'just Earth'," he cackled.


"Shut up! It's serious! How in hell could that- We've been walking on this chaos?!" I said. Oh wait, have I explained it?


You see, you see wonderful green trees and rushing water, but you need to look a little closer. The world isn't your Mother Nature style. It's like, like...HELL. Your trees are bare and ghostly white. Your rushing water is a dark purple made up of tears and poison. Grass is just sand. The sky is always dark, no sun, no moon. Buildings are gone, arenas have disappeared, and you got no houses. Dead spirits are wandering the Earth, trying to find a way out.


"They see. The dead ones see this...bleep," I said.


"I know, Zoe. It's..." Miss Penny started, but couldn't finish. All we saw was the cold true world.


"Wait, what the heck are you guys looking at?" blurted Xander.


"Yeah, what's going on?" Faith said.


"God," Lyon muttered.


"You guys really don't want to see this crap," I said.


"Wait, what about that poor man? He's bleeding and beaten up!" Faith yelled. I turned around and saw this body lying on the ground pouring some-


"Holy crap!! What's pouring out of his body?! Crud!" Lyon yelled.


"Calm down, Lyon," Miss Penny said.


"Blood, idiot! It's blood!" Xander said.


"You mean-" I started.


"That's right. Your eyes are like veiled with something angels' call "The OverShadow". This is the true world. This is were you grew up. And the blood looks black because its contaminated with the OverShadow," Miss Penny explained.


"What'cha mean? It's red, not black!" Faith yelled. She waved her body around frantically.


"What's that glow coming off of her?" I asked, "And Lyon, and me, and you?!"


"Light angels have this omitted glow coming out of their body. Cause, we're light," Miss Penny said.


"Then, what's that dark glow emitting to that winged thing?" Lyon asked. I looked around and it was heading toward us.


"That's...a dark angel! How-" Miss Penny mumbled. I didn't care. All I cared about was protecting my friends.

Chapter 6

"Zoe," Faith called in our dorm.


"What is it now?" I asked.


"I was just wondering if I could watch the Grammys tonight. I really want to see if some of my favorite artists made it," Faith asked.


"Faith, you know that-" I started, before I made the mistake at looking at Zoe. She had those puppy eyes on. That's my greatest weakness.


"You know what, let's go watch. Whatever. It reminds me if Bruno Mars made it," I said. Faith squealed. She got the remote and went to the show.


"Aw, crap. It already started!" she said.


"Dude, shut it. Just watch," I retorted. Faith looked a little hurt, but I was already tired and wanted to get this over with.


I heard the door creak. I jumped to my feet and said come in. In came Xander and Lyon.


"What's up? Our TV is broken, so we came to see how you guys are doing," Lyon said holding his hand up.


"Grammys are on? Sweet!" Xander said. He rushed to TV and sat down on our posh sofa next to Faith. Faith scooted over a bit. Lyon and I made our way to the kitchen.


"Your room is cool. It's like ours', but a bit more fancier," Lyon observed.


"I bet your place is less fancier than ours. More of my style," I stated. Lyon smiled.


"You know, it used to be like this too, but I found a cool trick. C'mon , let's get to your room," Lyon said. He slid off the stool and amazingly found my room.


I flopped on the bed and said, "So, what?" Lyon smiled again.


"Purple," he said. Suddenly, the room changed its whole appearance and personality. There was a purple wallpaper decorated with huge scratch-and-smell grape stickers on the wall. The  fan had grape vines on it and a grape emitting a purple light through it in the center. My bed was all purple with splotches of different shades of purple on them. I even had a grape pillow. My chair was shaped as a grape.


"That...is....so....AWESOME!" I yelled. Lyon smiled again.


"If you don't like it, you can always change it later. I said the word 'lion' and it's so amazing. My walls are covered in lion fur!" Lyon said excitedly. I widened my eyes.


"Okay then, 'Egyptian'," I said. Instantly, my room was decorated Egyptian style. My bed had drapes which were covered in amulets. My bed was almost like a sarcophagus and the mattress was a Tempur-pedic. There was a little flowing around my bed and the walls had pyramids on them. From the ceiling, pictures of Egyptian gods were hanging. My fan was made of papyrus and had a bright light glowing from the center.


"Okay, this is pretty cool," Lyon said, sitting in my throne.


Then, I heard the windows break.


"Rolling in the Deeeeep!" Faith sang. Lyon and I rushed out of my bedroom.


"Xander! Give me stats!" I ordered.


"Faith and I were watching the Grammies and then Adele came up to do her performance. Faith started to sing along and when it got to the high note, the window broke!" he yelled.


"It doesn't look broken," Lyon said. He tapped on the window. I could see all the cracks sealing up already.


"What? That's not possible! I even got cut!" Xander said. I looked at his hands. The cuts on them were slowly fading away, leaving the tiniest scars I could ever see. Then, they disappeared.


"Okay, I think you have to go. Lyon, thanks for the tip. C'mon Faith. We're done," I proclaimed.


"'Kay, See ya, Zoe," Lyon said as Xander and him walked out the door.


"Faith. It's time to go to bed," I said. Faith looked upset, but went to her room.


I was about to turn out the lamp when I heard Faith say "Justin Bieber" in her room.


God, I'm not going into her room anymore.
