Never To Be Forgotten

Chapter 3: The Angels

    When Axel had taken me to the angels dormitory I was expecting something much worse than what I had gotten. They had made ravioli and made sure I was happy being there, I wasn't sure what had gotten into the angels once I had gotten there; However it was pleasant kind of like I was home again.

     The angels all were together in the living area which was huge, and we all watched "Supernatural." They were binging it and enjoying every minute of Cass and the other angels within the show, until it got to Michaels character within the show, every time he was mentioned or appeared within the show Axel tensed up. It was like everything they said about his father was true. The only thing that had bothered the other angels about the show was none of their parents were in there. Axel appeared on edge though the entire time, like he wanted to leave but didn't want the others to feel bad. 

     At this point I had noticed every time the tension had gotten worse so I subconsciously put my hand on his knee as a comfort. I hadn't really noticed until the tension had calmed down and he placed his hand over mine. I didn't really know what I had done but he put a gentle smile on his face as he continued watching it. I assumed that he had found comfort in what I had done subconsciously, So I had left my hand there. For some reason it felt as if my hand belonged where it was I felt at complete peace, something I hadn't felt since I was a kid.

     I stayed in the guest room at the angels dormitory that evening, It was too late to fly back over there, I had made the decision just to stay where I was already at. I mean what was the worst that could happen in the few hours I was asleep.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     I woke up at sunrise, to the smell of freshly baked banana bread and hot coffee, It was such a pleasant smell and it didn't overwhelm my senses. I gently got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face off, I hadn't washed it the night before so I looked kind of like a raccoon. Once I had gotten finished washing my face there was a knock at my door.

     I went to the door opening it to a very happy Axel holding a tray of banana bread slices and hot coffee with sugar cubes and creamer.

     He smiled his voice the same husk as always," Good Morning Reaper, mind if I come in?"

     I shook my head, opening the door saying still half-asleep," Who made the banana bread?"

     He looked confused then replied," Umm Ezekiel's daughter did, along with how did you know it was banana bread?"

     I looked at it then back at him," Ummm, I could smell it?"

     He shook his head," I don't understand how the kitchen is two stories below you and I just flew up here."

     I sighed and blatantly said," I'm a Silverstein, our senses are natur-."

     I was cut off by Axel finishing my sentence," Naturally heightened regardless of the time of day one sense can be heightened more than anything else, trust me we know all of the human families that have supernatural abilities, especially the Silverstein's." 

     I nodded and grabbed the coffee starting to drink it slowly, then a piece of banana bread taking a bite slowly, never removing my eyes from Axel. He chuckled slightly, shaking his head at me as I stared at him taking a bite of banana bread, I then turned away giggling slightly and taking a sip of the coffee someone had made.

     Axel then spoke softly," How has this morning been for you so far?"

     I smiled replying in a similar tone," It's been pretty familiar honestly, Almost like I am home yet I know that I'm not, after I turned eighteen I got introduced into this brand new world and everything has been hectic yet, this morning and last night felt like this calm I haven't had for the past two days."

    He looked at me like I had grown an extra head, I spoke softly," What is it?"

    He shook his head looking away a slight pink tint in his cheeks," N-nothing just that you had such genuine feeling in just a simple answer it startled me seeing as you are a halfy."

     I looked at him confused," A halfy?"

     He answered quickly," It just means you only have half of a 'myth' and half of an abnormal, it's a generalization term like humans use the term Asian, or Caucasian." 

     I looked at him, understanding," What are you then?"

     He grabbed my now empty cup and plate," A pure, but I think it's time for us to get started and head to classes, especially considering you're on the wrong side for classes without your own clothes."

    I jumped up running back to my dorm after screaming my goodbyes. I ran to my dorm room and changed quickly wearing my new cloak over pitch black clothing. My hair pulled up into a messy bun and no makeup on whatsoever. I went quickly to my first class of the day which was weapons awareness, this class was essentially a fighting and sparring class unless you were a creator then you had to create your own weapons. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________     Weapons awareness is essentially a P.E. class times ten, it was horrible, the worse thing I could have possibly been put into. It was exhausting and the day had just begun, I took a shower in the locker room changing the clothes under my cloak.

     I finished out my classes for the day, and found Dawson at my locker at the end of eighth period, he looked very angry and a little disappointed as I approached him.

     He said flatly," Why did you stay at the angels dormitory?"

     I spoke with pride," I wanted to get to know them as I know you guys, instead of hating one another I don't see why we can't work and live with each other, I mean we all die so am I not just a middle ground for both sides?"

    He looked like he had just gotten shot as his anger heightened," I am banning you from the angel's dormitory."

     I giggled slightly, eyes going dark as I looked at him," Do not tell me what I can and cannot do, you don't own me nor will you ever, if I want to move into their dormitory then I will. You have no control or authority over me and never will, Lucifer's son or not you do not speak to me in such a tone."

    He backed away as I shut my locker and headed back towards my dorm, then I got the idea and changed direction to the angel dormitory. I was fully confident in my decision and never turned back almost jogging to the front doors to the dormitory.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     I texted Axel to let him know I was on my way over there and I needed sigil help if entirely possible, he immediately replied saying he was excited and ready for my arrival.

    I opened the door to the dormitory and walked up to Axel's room, opening his door looking down at my phone changing my music. 

    I yelled softly," Axel, I'm here," I sat my bag down then myself onto his couch.

    That's when I heard a bittersweet deep singing voice that almost entrapped me in it's sound especially when it had gotten closer. I turned my music off as Axel came out of the bathroom singing his Bluetooth headphones in his ears, his curly brown hair soaked, his wings damp and water droplets dripping down his chest as he was wearing nothing but a towel.

     I then hid in my cloak screaming," AXEL!!!"

     He took an earbud out looking at me and immediately turning crimson," Crap! I'm so sorry Reap I'll be right back!"

     He then ran to his bedroom quickly, coming out in sweats and a plain black t-shirt, his face still crimson and his hair dried a bit more along with his wings. He looked completely embarrassed walking out with a notebook and pens and highlighters.

     "Here let me help with those sigils, I forgot where you just started classes you have all of them together, so let's start with the basic sigils," He spoke softly handing me a pen.

     I nodded and listened as he taught me everything I needed to know about sigils in the easiest way possible. I didn't know how he did it but he did it in a way that calmed me entirely along with fully helping me to understand the equipment given to me.

     At the end of it he grabbed all of the notes he had written down for me and highlighted, then paperclipped them together putting them into my bag. I smiled and did a tiny dance because I finally understood what the teacher had been trying to cram into my head for the past two days. Honestly I couldn't have done it without Axel's help.
