chapter 4- Slumber
Don't freak out. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. She repeated to herself over and over again. The creature from earlier was now sitting next to lily.
"darling are you okay?" The nurse asked Esme who stood in fright staring at the creature beside her slowly moved her head sideways
The door behind Esme opened and the new kid stepped inside, sending a slight nod towards the nurse.
"Is she okay?" Lily asked the boy who stared at Esmes frightened state.
"Hey." he whispered into her ears and like a person plucked out of a hypnotic state, she blinked once then twice and then rapidly.
"Oh my God, I'm probably dreaming." she muttered to her self.
"I'm dreaming." she repeated. "That's the only way to explain what's going on. This can't be real, none of this is real." she repeated.
"So you can see it." he said beside her. She turned around to face him, what?!
"Yo..you c..an..see it..t..." she stuttered her gaze focusing on his, as he stared at the nurse and the creature.
"Yes, I can." he answered casually like it wasn't something out of the natural.
"Wait, are you real?" she asked moving away from him
"Flesh and blood." he shrugged
Esme stood confused, her mind running a million miles.
"Lily, w...ha..t's w...ha..at ts.. th..at..t that ne...xt to... yo...u?" she stammered.
Lily stared at Esme weirdly, her brows furrowed in concern and she stepped closer to esme to inspect her.
She placed her palms to esme forehead checking her temperature.
Esme reluctantly allowed lily to place her hands on her head, maybe she was hallucinating, maybe she was in a simulation.
"Come you should lie down." she helped her to the small bed. Esme spent no time delaying when she climbed into the bed. Breathing in and out steadily, she closed her eyes, allowing her self get carried away as she drifted off.
"What are you doing here, Kyle?" Lily faced Kyle who was studying Esmes face, he had heard that an abnormal was spotted in Frokn but had not expected her to be a girl.
"I'm a student here you know." he answered smugly. "I came here to study." he said.
"That's not what I meant." she sighed falling back in her chair, she waved her hand towards the creature which perched on her shoulder rubbing it's head with it's scrawny arms.
"She can see them." He stated ignoring her question. "That's not supposed to happen yet." he frowned brushing away the strand of hair in her face.
"He sent you here, didn't he?" she asked her eyes wondering over his body.
"Apparently, you're incompetent to do your job." Kyle muttered running his finger down her face to her chin.
Lily frowned rising to her feet, the creature flapped its wings letting out a silent screech.
"Don't you dare...." the words got hooked in her throat when Kyle eyes caught hers, his eyes changing swiftly to the pure black they originally are.
"Or what..It seems like you're forgetting who your superior is." he stated taking a step closer to her. Lily felt her blood run cold under his gaze, the real aura of his presence seeping out of his body.
"Your incompetency where his words not mine. For I see you doing a great job controlling the ghouls who may want to cause trouble and alert the angels." he said and halted his eye drifted off to the creature sat on her shoulders. He reached for it with his left hand, he stroke the creatures head gently.
"Speaking about angels, the boy that is intimate with Esme." he said pulling back.
"Jason?" lily asked her brows furrowed. "What about him?" she added hastily.
"You don't know..." Kyle muttered a slight chuckle escaped his lips. "He's doing a great job suppressing his true form." he whispered turning back to the girl laying on the bed.
"Keep an eyes on him." he ordered. "I'm thinking it might be too late if he knows what she truly is."
The knock of the door pulled their attention, Kyle giving lily a frantic look.
"Who is it?" she asked, Kyle watched the creature thin and turn to an ash like substance vanishing in the air.
"Miss lily, is it okay if I come in?" the voice asked, Lily recognised the voice and turned to Kyle who was still staring at her.
"it's Jason." she mouthed to Kyle who just nodded
"Miss Lily?" Jason repeated. "Is everything alright?" he asked again
"Yes, yes, sorry you can come in." she replied going to were esme laid.
The door opened and a worried Jason stepped inside, he rushed over to where Lily stood examining her.
"I heard what happened, I came here as fast as I could." he said leaning over esme face, his nose caught a whiff of something dead. He frowned standing up properly.
"What is that smell?" he waved his hands across his face trying to swat away the foul smell.
"Almost like something died." he said clueless. His gaze reached lily who was confused.
"You don't smell that?" he asked again and she frowned. He sighed turning around to face kyle, his face scrunched up in a frown.
"You?" Jason accessed him. His eyes preying on kyle who held his ground and. a straight face.
"Yes." kyle answered.
"Who are you? I've not seen you before. why are you here?" he questioned inspecting Kyle's face.
"I'm kyle, I brought her here." he answered casually.
"Hmm..i see. You're the new kid." Jason stated shoving his hands in his pocket. He was an inch shorter than Kyle and he didn't like it.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked again his eyes boring into kyle's.
"Castiel." He muttered and Jason's eyes widened turning abruptly to lily who was now behind her desk, going through some files.
Jason turned back to Kyle a small smile on his lips.
"So you do know who I am?" he smirked raking his hands through his hair.
"Hard to pass by the one 'Whose cover is God.' you know." Kyle stated his face still void of emotions.
"What are you?" Jason asked.
"Your worst night mare." he answered menacingly.
