Chapter 22 - Angel In The Making Pt.2

The scene changed once more. Matteo was in a rather large house. Asahi assumed it was the Mr Collins's household. Unlike his previous home, this place looked much more lavish, and Asahi noticed Matteo looking happier. Matteo sat at a table side as he was studying, when Mr Collins spoke behind him."What's going on, Matteo?" Matteo jolted and straightened himself. "OH....um Sir I was just finishing up on this project, it's kinda hard I don't really--!" Just then, Mr Collins grabbed onto Matteo's arm, squeezing it slightly. "Uh sir....you're really....hurting....me-I....." "Matteo, my boy.....how about we have a little uh.....project. We can keep it a secret, okay?" Matteo turned to him, his body trembling. Mr Collins's mind seemed to have been taken over by something else completely. He tried to pull Matteo closer but Matteo broke out of his grasp and ran to his room which was upstairs, and locked the door right behind him.

Matteo could hear his steps approaching and his heart quickened, and he gripped his hair as tears flowed down his face. "Matteo!! Open the door,Matteo ~~~ Let me see your face...Let me touch it--!!!MATTEO!!!" Matteo began to pull his hair out."No....stop...please....I...no--!!!Stop!!...STOP!!"

After shouting, Matteo didn't hear Collins's heavy breathing or his presence behind the door. Just then, He saw Blood, flowing into his room from underneath the door. Cautiously, he opened the door up, and saw it. Mr Collins's body, punctured with golden feathers, shining with a brilliant aura."What.....is that..." He reached for one of the feathers, but it suddenly sprung out of the body and flew around him, circling his arms, and soon, all the other feathers did same. Matteo ran to the mirror in his room and looked at himself. The golden wings had sprouted behind him, small in size, but it's aura shining brightly. Matteo suddenly started to smile, all while tears still streamed down his face. Asahi realized it then, the day Matteo had lost it.

The scene changed once more, back to the first one, Matteo's father's body pin onto the ceiling as he cried in the corner of the room. Suddenly, when Asahi heard the droplet of blood hit the ground, the scene had changed once more. There was an black, void space all around him and the kid Matteo, who was still sobbing. Asahi looked confused, but just when he started heading for Matteo, another Man popped down beside him. This man was tall, slightly muscular, and had on a jet black suit without a tie. The man's head was covered in a black flowing mist, covered up his entire face. Asahi tried to get a closer look at him, but the more he inched closer, the more his feet got heavier, and then in no time, he found himself crawling towards them.

"Why do you cry, child?"...."W--hy.....are the people of this world.....so cruel.....Every one hides the darkness that dwells within them. They justify it, encourage it, and they see not fault in what they do. I fought back.....but I can't help but feel guilty. The very darkness I accuse them of....I used it- on them. I'm evil.....too..." "You are not evil. What you did was justice. People like them are irrelevant, their lives weigh less than a penny, and their own deeds brought them to their end. You on the other hand, you are called to be much greater." Matteo's wings sprouted suddenly."Ah.....see? You look just like an angel." "A---angel?" "Yeah....an angel. They are magnificent beings of light, completely devoid of evil, wickedness and cruelty,...They are Perfection manifested. That is who I want you to become. That is who you need to be. Cast out and Eliminate all the evil in this world. People can't change even if they tried their hardest. No one can rewrite the laws that have been engraved into their souls. Darkness will always reside in people....even you, but don't let it steer you away, control it, use it, and eliminate those who proudly display the acts of evil. That is how you will become an angel. That's how you will become, PERFECT." "You're--right." "Ofcourse I am, Matteo!" "You.....know my name?" Ofcourse I do. Now follow me Matteo. Let's rid the world of evil completely!!" "Right!!!....But sir.....you know my name...but....I don't know yours? Please.....tell me--" "Name, huh? Alright I guess I'll tell you..... my name is------"
