Angelo quickly scoots away from the scene and it looks like the cool-looking superheroes with the cool weapons have got this handled. There are three of them.
There's the dark-skinned one with the fade, he's wearing a long leather coat and black boots and he's holding two black shotguns but some parts glow a bright white. As if the guns are made specifically for this kind of creature.
The other one is an Asian girl with a grin on her face. Her dark bangs are long and curly and her cheeks rosie. She's dressed in a brown turtle neck and black pants. She's the one who shot the arrow. Angelo wonders what the white glowy light on their weapons signifies.
The one in the middle catches Angelo's eye. A tall handsome blond boy in a Leonardo DiCaprio haircut with electric blue eyes, cupid's bow lips and a sharp jaw. He's wearing a dark shirt tucked into his dark cargo pants and he has boots on to protect his feet. He's beautiful and Angelo knows beauty when he sees it. He is boy-crazy and the sight of pretty boys sends him into a frenzy. Just like the blond one. He looks so serious, he's not smiling like his other two teammates.
He's holding a scimitar sword that looks more like a lightsaber than an actual sword, but it is a sword and the blade glows a bright white.
Who are these people? It's not like Angelo's complaining. They saved him from this horrific monster, but who are they truly?
Today has been the strangest day of his life. He doesn't quite understand what is happening but hopefully, these people will be able to explain it to him. They look like the kind of people who'll explain what is happening to him and what this monster is. He wishes he could say that he's dreaming but he's not.
"More angels." the monster spits.
Angel?
Can that be what the monster called Angelo? An angel? No, that can't be, he can't be an angel that's not possible. He doesn't look like an angel, but the three teens in front of the monster look like angels even while wearing black.
"You demons don't know when to quit buggin' people do you." The black one says and he follows his statement with a tsk.
Demons. Angelo swallows.
"You creatures are mean and you're going to pay for that." The Asian girl says with a pout.
"They're not mean, Wendy." The blond boy's deep voice sends chills down Angelo's spine. Not in a scary kind of way but in a hot way that shows how hot Angelo is for this guy.
He watches as the boy grips his sword, flexing his muscles in the process. He grits his teeth. "They're evil." He charges toward the demon and a large blade comes out of the demon's skin, the demon holds the long blade tight. He blocks the blond guy's attack and the black guy joins the fight.
The Asian girl runs toward Angelo to help him up.
"Are you okay?" She asks. "Aww, you're so cute."
Angelo smiles at the girl. "So are you."
Wendy blushes and waves him off.
"Oh, stop it."
The fighting continues. And Angelo can't help but look at what's going on hoping the two hot guys fighting this demon don't end up being killed by it.
"Uh, should we help them?" Angelo asks Wendy.
"Nah, they're good. Hi, I'm Wendy, Wendy Wang." she brings out her hand for a handshake and Angelo shakes it.
"I'm Angelo Hernandez."
"I know," Wendy says with a smile on her face.
"Yeah!" Angelo nods looking at the two hot guys fighting the demon and then he realizes. "Wait, how do you know my name?"
"I-" she giggles. "Oh!" she exclaims looking at the fight that's going on. Angelo puts his focus on the fight as well.
The pretty blond boy slices the demon up with his sword and as if that wasn't enough the hot black guy shoots him with his shotgun gun white bullets hit the demon. The demon screams as he's set on fire and then he bursts into flames turning into ashes.
"Whoa!" Angelo says in awe as he looks at the space the demon left.
The pretty blond boy and the hot black one do a strange handshake looking victorious.
"Booyah!" The black one shouts.
There's a small smile on the pretty blond's face. They both walk toward Angelo. He tries his best not to look at the blond guy, but he can't stop. His face looks like it was sculpted by a highly talented artist and he looks more like a god than an angel. Angelo watches this pretty boy walk toward him in slow motion.
His face is as bright as the sun, his lips are like a magnet that Angelo's lips want to kiss, his arms are strong, and the veins on his arms make him swallow.
It's dark but Angelo can see the blue of his eyes. They look hypnotizing. One look into his eyes and you're doing what he wants you to do. Angelo can picture a life together with him.
They're kissing under the sunset and holding hands while he saves Angelo from demons.
Wait a second, demons!?
This is not the time to be pinning over a cute guy he was just attacked by a demon. That demon was doing something to that girl. He's come back to his senses when the black guy pats him on the back.
"Hey Man, nice to finally meet you." He raises his hand for a high five. Angelo looks at the hand and then at him. Their palms slap each other and the black guy grabs his hand and they do that half hug that men always do after high-fiving or shaking each other's hands.
Nice to finally meet you. Where do these people know me from?
"I'm James Jones but my friends call me JJ." He winks. "I see you've met Wendy and this handsome quiet friend of ours is Christopher Benson."
Angelo looks at Christopher and the tall guy looks him up and down observing him. Angelo wishes he could say he's looking at him because he's also attracted to him, but he knows that there's a hundred per cent chance that this boy is straight and Angelo is just delusional to think he would actually go out with him.
"I thought he'd be taller." He says and Angelo scoffs, any ounce of attraction has gone out the window, now all he feels for him is annoyance and disgust.
"Chris," Wendy warns. "Be nice."
"What?" Chris asks with his hand in the air. "I didn't think the halo thief would put angelic halos into people like him." He says.
"People like me? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Scrawny, a kid. Although you do have a little bit of muscles and that's not because you work out or train it's because of the halo." He explains.
"The what?"
"He doesn't know." Says Wendy looking at him with sympathy in her eyes. "Poor kid."
"Okay, okay hold up. Who are you people? How do you know my name? What was that thing you just killed and what's a halo?"
"We just told you who we are. JJ, Wendy and me, Christopher." Chris grins briefly and then it turns back to a frown.
JJ sighs.
"Bro, ignore him he can be an ass sometimes."
"Honestly." Wendy shoots bullets at Chris with her eyes.
Chris scoffs and puts his hand up in surrender.
"We are Nephilims. You do know what that is right?" JJ asks him and Angelo has heard that word before but he doesn't know where. He tries to remember where he's heard the word Nephilim but he doesn't know where he's heard it.
He lights up because now he remembers.
"Nephilim as in half angel half human?"
Wendy nods her head excitedly. Angelo looks at the three of them wondering if they're all crazy.
"What you saw there was a demon from hell, a dybbuk to be exact. A dybbuk goes around looking for souls of vulnerable people to possess and he wanted to use that girl as a vessel until you stopped him from doing so."
Says JJ.
"And you, my friend. You are an angel."
Angelo's eyes go wide and he looks at the three of them to see if they're joking. Their faces are serious except Wendy still has a smile on her face, but Angelo suspects that that's her resting face. She smiles all the time. They're not joking at all, they're being serious.
"I'm a what?"
"You are an angel," JJ repeats.
"But how- how is that possible?"
"You weren't born an angel but you were reborn as one," JJ explains.
"There's an angel halo thief who broke into Silver City, heaven and he stole a bunch of halos that God was going to use to create more angels because he has an agenda to build an army against God. He's already resurrected and gathered a bunch of dead humans turning them into angels. He did that with you but Nephilims chased him away leaving you. He's looking for you right now as we speak."
Angelo just looks at them with his mouth wide open. He looks over at the cute boy whom he now thinks is a cute jerk and he just stands there folding his arms.
"This is insane!" Angelo says.
"Okay, Angelo I know you're freaked out," Wendy says putting her hands on his shoulder. "But you have to believe us."
"Haven't you been experiencing weird things lately?" Chris asks him.
"Like teleportation, going through walls, super strength and good reflexes, and turning invisible."
Angelo looks at him in shock.
"I can turn invisible?"
"Which means you have already experienced the other things," Chris says nodding his head and mouthing the word cool.
"Oh my God, I'm an angel," Angelo says smiling to himself but still a bit unsure of himself. "But why me? Why did he choose me why didn't he just leave me to die?" Angelo asks.
"If we were friends with the halo thief we would have had an idea of why he wanted you to be a part of his army in the first place but…" Chris shrugs.
"We and the halo thief aren't close."
"Look,.all your questions will be answered if you're willing to follow us to the headquarters." Says Wendy.
"You need to be in a safe place where the halo thief doesn't find you and it could be your new home."
Angelo looks at Wendy, a bit hopeful that he's going to be in a new home. If there's a psycho maniac who had the guts to break into heaven and steal God's creation then he is in trouble.
He might not have a good relationship with God but he doesn't want to join forces to go against him either, he doesn't want any part of it, he didn't even ask to be brought back to life he just wanted to go out soundly.
Wendy and JJ seem like cool people but he doesn't like Chris, he can't believe he thought Chris was cute, well, he is but he's a douchebag as well. Why are the cute ones always such jerks?
He considers this and he smiles at both Wendy and JJ.
"I'll follow you."
Wendy squeals in excitement and hugs Angelo.
"Newbie!" JJ is ecstatic. Chris only rolls his eyes.
Angelo is on his way to The Headquarters Of The Nephilim Knights.
