Darkness Reigns

[SV]

Alex didn't wait to be invited to the table. He sat down with them, placing his guitar on the chair, and his sword he still held in his hand. He was fairly certain none of them would attempt to attack them, but he would have to be sure just in case.

"Well to be honest, I never intended on killing you. I just wanted to get Angel back with us, but as the battle climaxed, I realized she wouldn't be coming back." He smiled at them, "don't worry, I'm not here to fight, you I just wanted to hang out. I haven't actually conversed with angels in a long time." He paused to look over the two new faces. The first looked a bit similar to one of the other angels. The second was a girl in a wheelchair. She clearly wasn't an angel, or at least, he was sure she wasn't. "And who might this lady be?" He said, smiling at the girl in the wheelchair. Alex shrugged, and turned his attention back at them. "So you guys are all rebels now. What the heck do you hope to accomplish anyways?" Alex looked over the menu.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel 'showed' Gold what had happened the last time, projecting it so only Gold could see.
~~~Memory~~~

"I am not going back. You and Rikki can both go to hell where you belong", Angel said. It was a bit fuzzy, as Angel had been trying to forget it. Alex raised the sword over Angel's head, ready to kill her. Silver stopped it, getting cut by the blade. Angel pushed Silver and Julie out the window, before the room blew up. Angel was blown sky-high, landing hard on the ground. She weakly walked to Julie and Silver, sitting on her knees between them. She placed a palm on Julie and and the other on Silver and healed them from the inside out, a very draining and dangerous job. If done wrong, the healer ends up dieing a slow, painful death. Angel was already weak and injured, but she didn't care about herself, she was only worried about Silver and Julie.

~~~End of memory~~~

Angel looked at Gold. She was scared by Alex. Friendly acting or no, he frightened her. "Can we go home? I don't feel good.", she said. Seeing Alex had frightened her and she had lost her appetite and was feeling sick. She leaned against his side, feeling safer. She shook a bit.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Silver sighed.

"What we hope to accomplish? To end kingdoms of light and dark."

He either paused for suspense, or had noticed that Alex looked shocked, because he added,

"The way things used to be... There was no light and dark... Angels, with wings of every color, all friends and bretherin. All under control by the Almighty, not the kings and queens of the kingdoms..."

He frowned, because that included his dead parents.

～～～～～

Gold wrapped his arms around Angel and whispered,

"Sshh... He's a swordsman, but as am I, plus I'm a mage. I know his blade, he knows nothing of mine. If he does something to try and hurt you, I'll protect you."

Gold held her even closer.

He thought about it, and decided to tell Alex about their scars, knowing the girl was with them, he intended bot to know.

～～～～～

Silver stopped his brother from telling the story with a quick, serious glance. His amethyst gaze had softened as he remembered the story.

"You don't need to know why we have scars. That story is personal. But I'll say this: It's a mark, a symbol, of the cruelty of the kingdoms. Our parents are dead because of the kingdoms. We were the heirs to the throne, but we would not take over for such a cruel society."

Making it obvious that they were twins, and the rumored 'lost princes' of the light kingdom. Silver changed the subject.

"Only the sages knew what Heaven was like. I think if we succeed, everyone's wings will change from black or white, to whatever collor it should be."

This explaings the colors of the twins' wings, being unlike everyone else, which made him wonder.

Will Julie's and Angel's wings change color soon...?

 

[miley810]

"Secrets out."Julie said growing her wings when Silver came back.

Julie smacked her hand over her mouth seeing the brown haired boy and backed up and grabbed Silver's hand,keeping the other free to freeze or burn him if needed.

"I don't feel like going in."Julie said."Alex,is it?What do you want with us?"

Julie had danger in her voice,if he tried anything she'd be ready.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel felt better as Gold held her. She listened to Silver explain their plan. She was fond of her black wings, and wasn't sure what her wing color would be if they succeeded. She knew Gold would do anything to keep her safe. But still, almost dieing did tend to instill fear in a person. She relaxed slightly, deciding to go along with the plan. "Well, since you seem to be joining us for the moment, why don't we all get something to eat?", Angel said. Her voice was polite, but guarded. She didn't bother to look at the menu, already having decided what she wanted. She knew what Alex thought. He probably thought she was using Silver and Gold. *Well let him. I love Gold as a boyfriend, and Silver as a brother and best friend.*, she thought.

 

[miley810]

Well now that Julie thought about it,her wings changing color,she was liking white wings,of corse if it was purple or pink she'd love them more,but she doubted that would be possible.She looked at Silver.

"Didn't we just eat?Oh well it didn't fill me up."Julie said.

She loved the meat love pizza from pizza hut,so she didn't need to look at the menu.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Silver seemed to catch her thoughts.

"I must be the only one here, aside from Gold, that knows about the Olden Days... So yes, wings could come in every color... And no one ever ended up with a color that dissatisfied them. Your true wing color is based on your personality. (Also, you could look up symbolism of the colors Gold and Silver, they suit the twins rather well)"

He smiled a bit at Julie.

"And we like the same pizza..."

~~~~~

Gold smiled and held Angel while glancing at the menu.

"Think I'll pick a four-cheese pizza..."

~~~~~

Silver's head tilted a bit at Gold's pizza choice. But it made a bit of sense.

"Hmm... I've always been the sweet tooth..."

Silver said thoughtfully while feeling one of his fangs with his finger. This was something obviously abnormal about him, even for an angel. The twins had fangs. Silver smiled, remembering his sweet honey ham from earlier.

"And Gold likes Sour..."

Gold nods agreement. Silver sighs and decides to get straight to it.

"Okay, Alex, is it? We can't just put the fight behind us. I'm sorry to say my first impression of you is rather doubtful..."

He sighed, looking sad, and stopped picking on his fang. He smirked a little though, realizing that Alex did not know he was a wolf, let alone Gold as a fox. He continued.

"So I'm going to be straightforward. Why are you here exactly? Do you want to join the rebellion?"

He laughed, reminding himself of human-made movies about mobsters and kingpins, but returned to his serious amethyst gaze, staring at Alex, as if analyzing him.

"You seem to have no malice toward us, despite bringing your sword, for defense I understand. Wouldn't it be nicer if all of us were working together? Including you and the psychic-girl, to whom I've yet to really meet in person. I kind of wanted to apologize for the 'Thought-onslaught' I gave her. I felt guilty after it, but you must understand that I was only trying to keep us safe..."

He shook his head with a sigh.

"I don't want to explain our story, but I would if I knew it would convince you of the kingdoms' true intentions. Although it seems you aren't here for that, are you?"

He frowned.

"No, I didn't pry into your mind, I'm just very perceptive. I really don't want to fight you or her, but right now you are fighting for the kingdoms, or yours at least. I just..."

He sighs, looking exhausted and shakes his head.

"N-nevermind..."

~~~~~

Gold frowned and began to finger-trace the vertical scar on his face, over his right eye and all the way down, like Silver does. They were both sensitive about anyone else touching the scars. No one has touched the scars, other then each other, and themselves.

"Are you sure we shouldn't explain? I mean, we should be letting everyone know what the kingdoms do..."

Silver shook his head, so Gold sighed and dropped it.

 

[miley810]

"Yeah,meat lover pizza!"Julie said.

Julie turned to Alex.

"I'm sorry for trying to burn you,err,Alex."Julie said.

Julie turned to Silver.She smiled at him.Purple or pink wings,that'd be perfect.She noticed Silver feeling one of his fangs.When she was younger she was scared of him because of the fangs,but now she didn't give a crap weither he had fangs or not,weither he transformed into a wolf or not,or anything.He could be a human instid of a angel and she'd still love him just the same.She suddenly hugged him and closed her eyes and smiled.

 

[DarkAngel91]

"Mushroom and pineapple for me. Never really did care for any kind of meat toppings on pizza.", Angel said. She was getting more comfortable the longer Alex was there, but she was still wary of him and his true intentions. Angel knew she was wise and often gave advice to the younger Dark Angels about various topics. However, her advice could also be viewed as an annoyance, so she was staying unusually quiet, not wanting to start anything. Her eye color was changing from lilac purple to sky blue to mint green and to ruby red. This only happened when she was very, very nervous. She fought to keep herself still and act calm when on the inside she wanted to get as far away from Alex as possible. *You wanted to know more about me, so here you go*, she thought, distracting herself. She projected a fond memory of herself when she was a fledgeling angel and her wings were a smoky grey, once again so only Gold saw it.

~~~Memory~~~

"Ok, now you try it, sweetheart", said a deep, calm voice. "Ok Daddy!", said a much younger, carefree Angel. She was only 3 years old. Her tiny wings were a smoky grey spattered with jet black adult feathers. She took a running leap, and started beating her wings. Her black hair was flowing out behind her, her lilac eyes sparkling in joy. "Daddy! Daddy! I'm flying! I'm really flying!", She called excitedly. "Momma! Look! I'm flying!". "Your doing great, sweety! A natural at flying!", said a pure, sweet voice. Her mother's voice. Angel looked like her mom, exept the eyes. The eyes she got from her father. "Dinner's ready!", her mother called. "Awww, momma.", Angel said, landing in her father's arms.

~~~End of Memory~~~

Angel waited to see what Gold thought. She hadn't thought of her first flight in years. She looked up at Gold, and smiled.*I'll show you more later, just tell me what you want to know*, she thought.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Silver jumped a bit when Julie hugged him. He was really distracted about the whole 'rebel cause' he had just explained. He held her close and layed his head over hers. He still waited for a response from Alex.

~~~~~

Gold smiled.

My turn...?

He sent her, followed by his projection.

~~~
Gold smiled at Silver, both looking determined, as they stood on the edge of a deep, bottomless cliff.

"Ready?" Gold asked his brother, who quietly nodded. They were about ten, so four years after the... Tragic event...

"Then let's go!!" Shouted Gold as he jumped, Silver following.

Silver caught on to flying instantly, and as he twirled around, automatically getting the hang of it, he smile. Gold smiled because this was rare. Silver almost never smiled. He refocused, realizing that he was falling far below Silver, and began to slowly catch the wind, and flew, flying back up to his brother. They both laughed and began to twirl around each other in flight, landing on the other side. A couple of the angel boys from school were stopped at the other side. Gold pointed and laughed at them.

"That's for picking on my brother!!"

He snarled at them, showing his fangs, and the bullies ran away, scared.

"Thanks brother..." Silver mumbled, looking down.

"It's like we said... Just us against the world, right? We gotta protect each other because no one else will..." Gold grinned as he spoke.

Gold and silver, brothers in arms, walked down the path, smiling, holding each other close, with one arm wrapped over each other's shoulder.
~~~

Gold was smiling at Silver now, he reached his hand forward, holding a thumbs-up to Silver, who realized what that meant and returned it.

Brothers, raised together, inseparable. They put their arms back down, and Gold looked to Angel.

What do you think?

 

[miley810]

Julie was glad that Gold and Silver treated each other like best friends.That was like her and Riley.She smiled.She recalled the first time Julie tried to fly,how Riley was there cheering her on,and Julie flew.Julie put her left elbow on the table and put her head in her right hand,and had her other hand on the ruby necklace.The necklace ment so much to Julie.Riley gave it to Julie before Julie went to bed the night Riley died.Julie let go of the necklace and put her hand down and looked at the people at their table.Her boyfriend who could transform into a wolf,a girl dark angel who Julie was best friends with,the dark angel's boyfriend and her boyfriend's brother who could turn into a fox,and a boy dark angel.And then there was her herself,Julie.

"We're quite a bunch arn't we."Julie said laughing.

 

[DarkAngel91]

*I think you did very well learning how to fly, though I wouldn't have recommended jumping off a cliff. And you were so cute when you were little.*, Angel thought to Gold. *And your as cute, if not more so, now that you've grown up. Now here's a funny one. i still can't believe I thought this* Angel projected one more memory. This one, when she was 5. And she was losing her baby feathers. Molting.

~~~Memory~~~

"MOMMA!!", Angel cried, running downstairs into the kitchen, tears flowing freely. "Momma I think I'm dieing!" Angel's mom, Raven, hugged her. "Why do you think you're dieing, sweety?", she asked. Angel held out 4 grey feathers. "T-their f-falling out.", Angel managed. Just then a fifth fluffy grey feather floated to the floor. Raven laughed softly. " Angel, honey, your not dieing. Your molting. Your baby feathers are falling out so your adult feathers can grow in. That means your growing up into a big girl now.", Raven said. Angel sniffled. " S-so I'm n-not gonna d-die?", she asked, her lilac eyes wide with fear. "No, your not going to die."

~~~End of Memory~~~

Angel laughed. * I honestly thought I was dieing, too. My father heard about it and he put my baby feathers in a box. I still have it too. I was so proud when my feathers grew back in, even though it was painful.* She blushed.

 

[miley810]

"Nice one Rosie.You should have seen my sister cheering me on when I first took flight.She was so proud when I got off the ground,it seemed like she was so happy that I flew.She the grew out her own white wings and flew towards me.Her blonde hair flowing behind her,her blue eyes full of joy."Julie said,ever so slightly dreamly.

She began clutching the ruby necklace again.She missed Riley so much.Riley wouldn't stand for her parents being so mean to Julie,she wouldn't let them,she would take Julie and run away with her.She wished her sister was there so much,nothing would make her happier.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel smiled. "Your sister would be proud of you, Julie.", Angel said. *Perhaps tonight we can go flying together for a while, just you and me*, she sent Gold. She wanted to feel the night air against her wings and Gold beside her.

 

[SV]

Alex was silent as a lot of them spoke. He sighed a bit, unsure of where to begin. He decided to first look at Angel.

"Listen, I already told you I'm not here to bring you back, but you really need to get your priorities straight. I thought you were in love with that one yesterday, not you found someone completely different today? What, so you decide to betray us one day, for some guy, then go with some other guy the next day? I really honestly can't wait to see what you do tomorrow..." He paused, realizing he may have said too muc, as he didn't usually like saying what was on his mind. He looked at Julie, who spoke of burning him, to which he smiled, don't worry, I'm not hurt, as you can clearly see." He showed her his arms and hands, not a scratch on him. "I'm pretty resilient." The truth was of his sword's ability to heal him. Alex chuckled a little to himself when Gold mentioned he knew about his blade. No one, he thought to himself, no one knew about the Adamanta. He put that thought out of his mind. He was hungry.

"Look, all I know is you can do whatever the hell you want with your rebellion, it doesn't concern me anymore much. But I ask two things: If you try to get away in OUR mission, I will hurt you, and if you try to get rid of my home, I will fight you. Other than that, you really don't have to worry about me.

He ordered something from the menu. "By the way...uh...I kinda don't have any human money...anyone mind giving me a loan?"

He looked at all of them, waiting for a reply.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel sighed. "I'll pay for you Alex. It's the least I can do for you, given your troubles of finding me. And you don't have to repay it", she said. She hoped Silver had explained to Gold everything. Otherwise she may very well end up missing. She leaned against Gold and closed her eyes, waiting for him to either understand or to push her away and never want to see her again. She tensed up, ready to run away.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Silver groaned.

"Christ Almighty, you're worse than most mundanes..."

He generated money out of thin air and left it on the table.

"So you're here because you're poor... How... Erm... Impolite..."

He sighed and pushed the thought.

"You really have no clue what the kingdoms are really like..."

Gold kept urging him into telling the story.

"I'm guessing you lived a plush little childhood up there?"

He felt the growl rise in his throat. Irritation, anger, resentment, take your pick.

"If this works, you won't have your old home. You'll have a better one! Everyone will! You should really read up on the Olden Days..."

He let out a frustrated growl.

"Ugh, I don't get you!! You have no intention of killing us, and we have no intention of killing us, even though you were sent down to stop us, like we were to stop you. But You just seem against any form of rebellion!"

He grunts irritatedly.

"Nevermind, I guess I can't expect much from someone who hasn't lost because of the kingdoms, like us... You had a perfect little life up there didn't you? And younglings probably died so you could have that nice life, huh?"

He couldn't take it anymore, he felt his fangs extending, his eyes flickering purple-red. Anger building up inside him.

He's one of them!! Brainwashed by the kingdoms with his perfect life!!!

He stormed out and walked out to the forest, and began punching trees until his knuckles were bleeding, and he was actually knocking trees down.

～～～～～

Gold smiled at Angel.

I'd love to...[/i]

Gold sighed worriedly as Silver angrily took off, before the pizza even arrived. He glared at Alex in irritation, for making his brother mad, and for being a kingdom-lover. He slumped on the table stressedly and looked around the room at the mundanes around them.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel had only seen Silver mad like that a few times. 2 to be accurate. When Julie had said something to him the first night, when she had upset Silver on accident. *Gold? Hey Foxy-boy, are you alright? How about I get our food boxed up and we can go eat someplace privet, where no one else can find us. I think Alex has stressed us out far too much*, Angel thought. She put an arm around him protectively, mentally humming a song to calm Gold a bit.

 

[SV]

Alex smiled a bit as the money was placed on the table. He grabbed it eagerly, trying to observe it. He had never seen human money before, and he was always interested in foreign things. He looked at it curiously before the angel began talking again.

Alex smiled a bit to himself as the angel mentioned a plush childhood. He didn't want to talk about his childhood, finding it unnecessary, seeing as he didn't know any of them very well to begin with, and quite frankly, didn't trust them. But the reality could be further from the truth. What he had up there was a quiet childhood, with a meager house, and a simple brother, who was all the family he had left. He grew up made fun of, but he didn't bother caring. It was pointless anyways. So in a way, he had a simple childhood, but it was all he ever wanted, until he was discovered to be one of the three Dark Angels of destiny, of course, then it was anything but simple.

He didn't want to have better homes. He just wanted to be done with this mission so he could return to his brother and live out his days in simplicity. He hated the fact that he had these powers, and knew he would never have a life like that. The sword made sure of that. He wouldn't live passed 10 years probably. But now that he was given responsibility, the responsibility that a whole nation depended on him for, he would make sure that in his short time he had left alive, he would accomplish his goal, and finally, be at peace. But when he does finally pass, he doesn't want to be remembered as the one who let the kingdom down, like he knows Angel will be. All Alex wanted was this whole thing to be over with, and if that means finishing his mission so he could finally just relax in his simple little house, or in death, then so be it. But in reality, he didn't care if the angels win or if the dark angels win, or even if the rebellion wins. All he cares about is being at peace, either in death or in life.
He watched as he stormed outside. Alex sighed. Waiting for his order to come in. "So what's with the human in the chair? Is she a friend of yours too?" He asked the other left in the room.

 

[miley810]

Julie stared at Silver as he left.She didn't have it in her to chase him,and she was scared of Silver when he was mad.

"I guess I better go cool him off..."Julie said standing up.

"Juliet meet me in room 13 at the hotel around the block in two hours."Julie said."And Alex,she can't walk,don't ask why,just ignore the fact she's in a wheelchair.See you later Juliet,and Alex,I have no idea when I'll see you again,just don't fallow me and Silver,understood?"Julie said and she ran after Silver.

Eventually she caught up to him,but it scared the crap out of her seeing the tree's being knocked down by him.

"S-s-silver c-calm down.He-he's just a stupid dark angel."Julie said to Silver and grabbed his arm.
