(Kendall/KD's POV)
"One frappe please, venti. Thank you" I'm ordering a drink in a cafe right now. I'm not in my nerdy suit as I need to be at my office later. Still, I got plenty of time to spare so I just stop at a cafe to calm myself down. With everything that's happening right now, I'm just drained.
As my order arrived I sit down on a seat near the window. Looking at the pedestrians busy with their works and all, some busy walking their pets, or some having a walk with their families. I miss my family. The only family I had left is Lonia, Arsyn, and even my cousin may be out of it sometimes, I also consider him as one.
My drink is almost finished as I saw a familiar figure in the crowd. It's the guy from the beach, the one who gives me a jacket and handkerchief. And I don't know why but it seems like my feet wants to follow this guy. Something about him just screams trouble and safety at the same time. Which just got me curious.
I am tailing him right now. He's wearing his big glasses and a nerdy sweater with his hair down. This reminded me of someone I used to know. That person likes to wear sweaters too that's why I tried to learn knitting. And no matter how ugly my sweater will turn out, that person will still wear it and smile at me shyly saying how beautiful it is. But that person is long gone now.
Seeing him turn in an alley wakes me up from my thought which I just shake my head. Stop it KD, it's all in the past now. What matters right now is that they should pay. As I turn too I saw him almost out of the alley and turn left. I just hope he won't notice me because I may look like a creepy stalker right now.
As I got out of that alley, I look around and I think I lost him in the crowd. I was about to give up when I saw him in a flower shop buying a bouquet of daisies. This got me more curious than I was. Does he have a girlfriend?
Weird as it seems but thinking about it got me jealous. I mean I don't know the guy. He just comforted me when I was crying, giving me his jacket and all. And I don't even know his name for crying out loud!
He then leaves the store and continues walking to a place I can hardly recall. It's not like I haven't been to this part of the town but the last time I go here was four years ago. I just hope he's not going in the place I think he will.
We've been walking for quite a while now and the longer we walk the more I feel that my hunch was right. And it can't be any clearer as I saw him stop at the gate of a cemetery. "I know you're following me," fuck! I know how absurd this will be but I wanna answer him no and give me more than a hundred reasons on why I'm not following him.
But my guts tell me to just be honest and apologize. "I'm sorry I just saw you and I got curious. I just remember you as you comforted me once." I sounded lame and a stalker at the same time. Maybe I also sounded crazy. Who would follow someone you don't know even if he talks to you just a couple of minutes?
I just sigh irritated as it dawned on me on how stupid this idea is. I just invade his personal space. I mean this may be too personal for him and I just stupidly follow him. Good Kendall, you just look so stupid right now doing stupid things.
"You could just talk to me than to follow me, right?" he says it slowly I think he doesn't want to offend me. But no need I think I offended myself enough with my stupid curiosity. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'll just get going." I say as I turn around and as I took a step I hear him laugh. Which makes me look back at him.
"You follow me just to get caught and walk away?" for some reason him laughing put me at ease. I also laugh at myself, "Ok, first of all, you didn't tell me your name." he stops laughing and thinks a little, "Luciel, you can call me Luciel." I think I heard that name before.
He looks at me waiting for a response but I'm still thinking about where does I heard that name before. "Is something wrong? You look confused?"
"Oh no, I think I heard that name before." he then chuckles, "Luceil is an Archangel and the former name of Lucifer. I think you had read it before?" No, I didn't read it. I heard it from someone. But it's a long time ago. I just shook my head no, "I don't think that is it." I was gonna ask on what he's doing here when my phone rang.
Shit, I forgot I had a meeting to attend. "Sorry again for following you and thank you for not thinking I'm not a creep but I gotta go," I said as I trace back my step to my car. But the empty alley I passed by earlier isn't empty because there are thugs now. I'm just really lucky, tch. I try to turn around and find another way but lucky me! They've noticed me.
"Little missy, are you lost?"
"Do you wanna have fun?"
"We'll show you fun."
The three of them now try to approach me and some memories flash in my eyes as I just froze in my place.
Run KD! Fucking run! Please. Don't fucking cry!
But it's too late. I try to step back but stumble and fall.
"Aww, little missy is afraid."
"You shouldn't be afraid this won't be scary."
"Yeah, this will be fun!"
They are very near me and the only thing I did is to cower. Please go away. This is just a bad dream. Just a bad dream KD. I close my eyes and wait for this thing to end. I can't hear anything because the only thing I hear right now is my cry and the girl screaming in my head to stop. A moment later I feel a hand touch my shoulder which makes me cry a little hard.
"Please... s-stop... p-please..." Those are the only words I can mutter to say right now. I'm trembling in fear and crying like a helpless girl I bow not to be. But a voice I didn't expect to hear talk, "KD? KD? Are you ok?" hearing that voice full of worry I lift my head and saw Paige's face full of worry. As I look around I saw the three guys lying on the ground. But still, fear crept in me and I immediately hug Paige and cry. Paige did nothing but rub me soothingly and whisper that I'm safe now.
For a minute there I thought Archangel's mercy saved me.
