I turned and walked away glancing one last time into her eyes, once I knew she could not see me I flared out my wings and flew to the same rooftop across the street.
I don't know what happened everything was going so well, then our wings touched again. She felt it she shouldn't have been able to feel it only the more powerful angels could feel their wings before they were fully formed. I just couldn't help myself I had to see if she was sensitive where her wings met her back, when I felt her arousal it confirmed it. Her wings were more powerful than anyone I've ever known.
She smelled so good I licked my lips wanting more, why did I have to say what I did? I didn't even realize I had said it out loud and the strength when she pushed me away. She shouldn't be developing physical changes so fast, what was going on here.
I watched from my perch as Reece and Kail got back to her apartment, they disappeared into what I now knew was the kitchen. Then they entered into one of the side rooms which I could only guess was her bedroom. My blood boiled knowing that Kail was with her and not me.
I shook my head what was happening to me? How can this newly fledged angel affect me so? What is it about her that calls to my very being?
I couldn't help myself I just had to see her again, lifting off the roof I angled towards the window of the room she had entered. Using my wings in a way that was difficult for new angels I hovered in one place peering through her window. What I saw was something I hated.
kail touched her like I so badly wanted to. Her face shining in the throws of her orgasm. At one stage she seemed to sense me, using my wings to force me away from the window mere seconds before she could see me.
Not being able to watch him have what I had failed to take I returned to the rooftop left with only my thoughts. Which proved to be very bad as all I could think about was his hands on her, her hands on him. I could feel the power build up in my wings as my anger grew.
What was happening to me, why do I even care? I couldn't get the image of that miscreants hands on her out of my mind. The power in my wings grew my fists clenched as I punched the wall beside me growling
"Mine."
My fangs baring as I said it.
The brick shattered under the force of my blow as the whole building shook beneath me. I sighed as the power in my wings faded away, I sank to the ground leaning against what remained of the wall, my wings flattened between myself and the fallen bricks around me.
The power now gone my mind became clearer what's gotten into me? This isn't me I don't care about anyone. Steeling myself I vowed not to let this… female get to me. Whatever it takes I will complete my mission and destroy her the moment her wings are fully formed.
I remained this way til the sun rose in the distance, it wasn't long after that Cam exited Reece and Bree's building replaced the glamour on himself and joined me on the roof.
"Did you enjoy yourself?"
He beamed at me.
"Did I ever, that girls on fire. One of the Best I've ever had."
I shook my head he always said that, then a few days later he was on to someone else.
"So you gonna tell me what happened bro?"
I sighed glancing behind me wanting to know the very same thing.
"I miss calculated, that's all. A small set back she's going to be harder to get close to then I thought."
"Especially with Kail around."
"Yes, doesn't help that she runs to him when things go bad."
He raised his eyebrow at me, even I could hear the jealously in my voice. It was completely out of character for me. Why should I care, It's not like I've cared about anyone in the past.
My mind wondered to Egypt, no I would not let myself think about that Kail was right I did fail. I shook the thoughts out of my head.
"You alright bro?"
Cam halted the thoughts in my head thankfully in time as he waved a hand fixing the damage done to the wall behind me. Cam was used to fixing things I destroyed even though he said nothing about the cause of this particular damage and I gave no indication that I was going to explain it.
"I'm fine."
He continued to eye me closely then shrugged letting it go as he asked.
"So what's the plan now then?"
"Well since you've become so close to Reece's friend she will be our loophole."
Cam smiled relishing in the thought of indulging in his new squeeze.
"Well you know I'm keen but maybe we should wait a few days let Reece cool down."
"I agree is everything arangaged at the uni?"
"of corse,"
"then we will wait til Monday."
Cam went silent as he stared at me
"you alright bro?"
"im fine!"
I snapped without thinking.
Cam scrutinized me at my outburst, recovering myself I said more calmly.
"She is advancing faster than we were lead to believe. She can already sense when her wings are being touched and her physical strength is growing."
"But how can that be I thought we had three months."
"Michael's calculations must be wrong. If I knew any better I would say her wings will be fully formed in one maybe less and with her wings complete her full powers won't be far off."
"I can't believe that Michael got it wrong."
"There's something different about this girl."
Cam put his hand on my shoulder.
"More like there's something different about you, what's going on with you? What really happened last night?"
I shook his hand off angry at myself, for what reason I had no idea.
"Nothing's going on with me."
I snapped.
"Bro it's me we've been brothers for over fifty years what is this girl to you?"
I sighed it was a simple question yet I could not answer, what was she? Why was I acting like this? Argh this was so frustrating. My silence only made Cam look at me closer.
"Ok hard question here's another, when the time comes will you be able to do what you were sent here to do?"
For the first time since I could remember fear entered my eyes before I could hide it from Cam his own eyes widened in shock.
"Fuck me bro you picked a fine time to have feelings."
My anger rose again.
"I will do my duty Cam I always do."
"Yeah but-"
"Enough!"
I spoke through clenched teeth.
"She's just another mark when her wings are fully formed I will be the one to kill her."
Cam started to say something else but before he could I threw at him
"I'm going to bed."
I jumped off the roof spreading my wings the second I did, landing on the balcony below entering our apartment. It was simple just a bed and night stand suited for long term missions but not enough to feel at home.
Laying in bed my mind returned to the look in her eyes as I caressed her pulling her closer, I was unable to control myself. This overwhelming need to be inside her, to mark her as mine was insane. What was this hold she had on me? I couldn't let it happen I wouldn't let it happen.
When the time came I would do my duty as always nothing she could do would change that and yet… no! I told myself I will not let her change my resolve she is nothing to me and will remain nothing to me.
Micheal had ordered me to get close to her he never said I had to be close in that kind of way there are other ways to get close to her let Cam do that part with Bree as reece's friend it still puts me in a position to do what needed to be done.
My mind made up I closed my eyes and went to sleep where my dreams were plagued by that night long ago where I had failed. The scene before my eyes repeating over and over until I woke with a start, drenched.
It was the early hours of the morning, shaking my head to get the images out of my mind I jumped out of bed to have a shower. The shower was bigger than most modified to accommodate for our wings the feeling of the water running down my feathers felt good like washing away the events thoughts and aftermath of last night.
Feeling better I went out to get some breakfast and a coffee
"feeling better bro?"
Cam sat on the couch throwing me a slice of toast and pointing to the cup of coffee on the bench. I grunted a morning as I bit into the toast and sipped the coffee.
"I heard you last night… the dreams are back?"
"don't cam,"
"dantalis it's been awhile since you've had th-"
"enough cam! Just drop it!"
Cam stood and placed a hand on my shoulder
"one day you'll tell me what plauges you brother in all the years I've known you there's still so much you refuse to share with anyone. I know your twice as old as I am and I'm honoured you chose me to be your brother after all those years alone but there comes a time when you just have to let go. I'm always here for you bro whenever you're ready to share your nightmares."
He walked away without waiting for an answear which was fine by me as I wasn't planning on giving one. However his words stuck with me, it was true there were many nightmares in my past that I have refused to share with anyone. Those nightmares were the reason it took me so long to except the right of a brother in arms. For centries I worked alone never needing anyone never wanting anyone. What I did, what I was asked to do I could not let anyone else share my fate I could not let anyone near the darkness inside me for fear it would infect them too. That is not until Cam.
He was a newly made angel right from the start he brought the light out in in me made my days just that little bit brighter. He kept insisting to be my brother until finally I just gave in. Even after all we had been though I could not bring myself to tell him of my past for fear that he would see me in a different light, for fear that he would see the darkness that I hide so well. No, he can never know of my past no one can nor ever will.
Walking out to the balcony I looked out towards her building I sensed kail still in side and my blood boiled just thinking of it, shaking my head the door behind me opened.
"So what's the plan for today?"
I looked at him as he also looked down on their apartment.
"Nothing like we said last night we will give her a day to herself then continue Monday morning only some of our classes are the same as it would look suspisous if they all were."
"sounds good bro so a free day might as well make the most of it wanna go surfing?"
I arched my eyebrows at him
"do I look like I surf?"
Cam laughed
"There's always time to try."
"I think I'll pass. I'll just stay here you go enjoy your surfing."
I answered with disgust at the word surfing, his laughter could be heard as he jumped from the balcony surf board under his arms headed towards the beach.
It was once he was out of sight that I spotted Kail exit Reece's building, looking up he stared straight at me with a knowing smile. Spreading his wing's he headed towards me landing on the railings of our balcony. Standing back I drew my swords at the ready for whatever he had in store.
"now now don't get your feathers in a twist Danni boy I'm not here to fight just a friendly chat."
Not taking my eyes off him I answeared
"nothing is ever friendly with you kailion."
Laughing he stepped off the railing to stand in front of me his arms out in inocnece
"true but I could say the same about you however I really did just come here to chat."
I eyed him suspisouly
"then say your piece and leave."
He laughed again
"relax dantalis you've already lost especially after your blunder last night you might as well give up now."
"there's still time you haven't won yet."
"Oh but I have as you well know or am i mistaken. I know you were watching did you enjoy the show?"
My hand clenched around my swords in anger.
"tsk tsk its impolite to watch you know although I must thank you for getting her ready for me I did enjoy the taste immensely."
Unable to stop myself I lunged. Quick as lighting he drew his own sword a long monstrous thing made entirely of bones blocking my attack.
"temper temper Danni boy, you may have beaten me in the past but it will not happen again?"
Pushing away I attacked again gritting my teeth
"You have never been able to beat me what makes you think you could now?."
Blocking me again he smiled grinning from ear to ear
"that night changed you from what I heard, did it not?"
"shut up!"
"what was her name again?"
I swung my sword again narrowly missing his side
"ah that's it… katianna"
"arghh!"
I swung slicing his upper arm as blood coated my sword he laughed
"come now Danni boi is that the best you've got?"
Using my wings to add to my power I lunged again, jumping back he landed on the railing edge once more. At that moment an arrow pierced his shoulder, kail clutched his chest where the arrow protruded spinning to face Cam who hovered not far off another arrow aimed at his head
"I guess that's my cue to leave, be warned the girl is mine stay away or you and your boy toy will regret it."
With that he spread his wings soaring away on the wind currents as Cam landed where he had just vacated.
"you alright?"
Replacing my swords I snapped
"I'm fine"
Turning i started to walk back to my room without looking at him I added
"thanks."
Not waiting for his answear I closed the door behind me my mood back along with the memories. This mission just became my nightmare.
