(Jack's POV)
She's been through a lot. I understand now. I get why she is so distant, but why did she actually trust me with all of that. Also, why would I be in danger for knowing all of that? So many questions and so few answers. "So, you're not just a fallen angel?" She shakes her head, "No. I'm many things just like my mother." Interesting. "Why would I be in danger now?" She sighs and quietly says, "Because my dad is a dipshit that hates everyone and doesn't want anyone to know about me. He wants to use my power for his own gain. He wants me to take over the universe for him because he's a dumb c**t that doesn't care what I want to do with my powers. Now I work on training my non-physical fighting abilities. I can't use them much now because I'll collapse of exhaustion." Well, she totally loves her dad. Hah. "Well I'm here if you need help with that." She looks up at me with a straight face, "No." I squirm a little and ask, "Well, why not? If anyone here could help, it's m-" She cuts me off, "No. People around me get hurt and I'm not going to accidentally hurt you. I'm trying to protect you. Not just from others, but from myself too." I roll my eyes, "Oh fuckin' well. If I get hurt, I get hurt. I want to help you damn it, so just fucking let me." She stands up. Oh shit I pissed her off. Why can't I keep my trap shut? She walks to the door leading back inside, "Fine. We train before dawn. Meet me by the lake." Then she walks inside to who knows where. I lay back, well at least she came around, but why dawn? Why before dawn and not just after school? Whatever. I get up and hear the bell ring for the next class, so I head to class. I sit in class and write everything I learned. She's crazy, but she's strong and knows what she's planning. She isn't just talking about a little family feud. This is a war we're talking about. What is she going to do if she wins? Is she just manipulating me to die for her? She doesn't need me. Unless… Maybe she's weaker than people think right now. Well, I'm sure with training I'll find my answers, or I'll demand answers that I don't have. I spend the whole hour trying to figure out all of my questions for her and noting the few answers I actually got. Snapped out of my daze by the bell, I quickly put my things in my bag and walk out towards my locker. I'm almost to the common area when someone big shoves me into a narrow hall with no exit. I look up to see a big guy standing over me and that blonde bitch Claire steps into view with four other big football-player looking dudes basically standing on her. I swear if they were any closer to her, they'd be in her. She grins like a tiger after trapping it's prey and the guy who shoved me says, "You threatened the wrong queen today human. You see, Claire here is my girlfriend and I'm not gonna let some pussy like you, treat her like that." He cracks his knuckles as I stand up and laugh, "Hah! Really? You're so confident that you'd beat me that you had to corner me AND bring your little butt buddies? Okay. Okay. Don't make me laugh." Just then I see Alex just casually stroll up with her revolver in hand and take out all of the extra jockeys in mere seconds. Then she just stands across the hall and purrs, "Now, that's more like it. If you have an issue with him, make it a fair fight. He's human after all. How is it gonna look if you take four massive angels with you to beat up one tiny human? Pathetic." I slipped my gun out while they were distracted and right before he turns back around. I hold it to the back of his head. When he sees me, I smile and tip my head to the side before pulling the trigger and Claire lets out an ear piercing scream as she launches herself toward me and in a flash, she's pinned against the wall with a knife to her throat. Alex has her face centimeters from Claire's and I couldn't hear what she said, but Claire nodded and ran away as soon as she was released. Alex turns and walks away giving a slight wave and leaving it at, "Later." I shook my head and headed home with no more problems. Actually, everyone avoided me and kept their heads down. Well, we'll see how training goes tomorrow. I have so many questions and I want answers to them all.
