Angel watched as Julie walked out of the resturaunt without her food. "You seem to have a talent for pissing people off, Alex.", Angel said. The waitress came back with Angel's cherry coke and two straws. The waitress wondered where the other two had gone. Angel smiled at her said " My friends had to go talk about something, I'm fairly certain they'll come back." The waitress left without another word. Angel opened a straw and took a sip of her drink. Angel nudged the drink over to Gold, along with another straw. She didn't mind sharing her drink with him. She looked at Alex. "Well, this is a bit akward.", she said
 
Alex looked at Angel, and smiled. He was not intent on making her feel any worse, when he found her behavior completely irrational and downright stupid. He didn't really feel like talking down to her anymore, though. He figured she wouldn't listen either way.

"I don't mind. You guys aren't that bad. Well, most of you." He didn't want to say who he was talking about.

Alex's food came. He ordered plenty of food, including a whole pizza and a hamburger.

"Ah, so this is human food. I wonder if it compares to our own." He took a bite. "This is quite good! I'm beginning to like this world much more. Look!" He took out his guitar. "I found this while I was here. It's quite an interesting thing." He played a note on it.
 
Angel giggled quietly. "Haven't you eaten human food at all while we've been here? It's quite good, if you order right", she said. Alex picked up a thing she knew was a guitar and played a note. Angel smiled. Alex loved new foriegn things. " That's a guitar. Basically brand new too. Humans must be strange to just leave something like that. My dad showed me a guitar once and he promised to buy me one when I was older", Angel said. "I personally prefer singing to playing instruments. You are very good at playing it, Alex"
 
Alex nodded at Angel briefly. "Thanks, I've really gotten into it since I got here. Human's really are a marvelous people. They have created so much with so little. I find it very interesting."

He played a few more notes, before turning to them again. "So who is this guy anyways, this new one you've fallen in love with apparently? It seems you switch every day. Who is it gonna be tomorrow I wonder?" He joked, filling his face with more food, including a pizza. "Mmm..." He said, as he took another bite.

For now, Alex felt at ease knowing he could relax for the briefest of time. Soon, that all might change.
 
Angel sighed. "How did I know you were going to ask that at some point? Anyways, it's....difficult to explain. It's one of those, you had to have been there to understand type situations. And I'm not switching to another guy Alex. It's good to see that you've taken an intrest in playing it.", she said. *Ok, he's starting to creep me out Gold. He is way to interested in you for my liking*, she thought.
 
Silver whipped around when he felt someone grab his arm, but instantly backed up as he saw it was Julie. He hung his head and stared down at his hands, which were shaking, bleeding, dried and scraped up, it looked horrible. He was obviously punching these trees with excessive force. He realized that this was good, that he left. Because these punches would most likely have landed on Alex's smug face. Julie was clearly terrified that he was enraged. He hid his destroyed hands from her and turned away, dropping to his knees as silent tears hit the dirt below.

I truly am a monster...

His eyes widened as he realized what had made him so angry.

Other than the way Alex acts... He looked just like the man. The man who had forced domestic homicide on the twins. The man who scarred their young faces. The man who forced their blades into their parents. Alex resembled that man, very closely. Silver gave up on hiding his demolished knuckles, he pulled his legs in front of his face, and wrapped his arms around his legs, curled into a ball, and he cried profusely in an equal mixture of pain, depression, and rage.

～～～～～

Gold sighed, staring outside.

"He's hurting himself, I just know it... It's the only thing he does to prevent hurting others..."

He frowned, pretty much ignorant to the conversation between Angel and Alex.
 
Angel was restless at this point. *Gold, Alex is asking questions that are really personal, like who you are. I'm not comfortable with leaving you here alone with him, otherwise I'd have left about 10 minutes ago. I'm sure Silver is ok, Julie is with him. She'll freeze and burn anyone who tries hurting Silver.*, she thought. She sipped her coke nervously, taking small bites of her pizza slice. Pretty soon she was on her second refill of cherry coke. " Here, you can some of mine",Angel said, pushing the drink over to Gold.
 
He smiled a bit at her now. "You say you're not switching now, but it's just so ridiculous that you fell in love twice in two days. If Rikki was here, she would have probably killed you. If I cared enough, I would have killed you. You do realize you betrayed a lifetime of being with the dark angels in a day for this one?" He pointed at Gold. He then got restless. "Ahh, but never mind. You're just too selfish to understand, and I guess at this point I don't care enough to convince you otherwise."

"Let's switch the topic, maybe? Like, for example, why are you guys not keeping a low profile? You do understand that this human sitting here knows we are angels. Why did you tell her?" He played his guitar a little more, then, for no reason at all, grabbed his sword, still in its sheath, in his hand and placed it on the table.
 
Gold's patience had run out. As soon as Alex called Angel selfish, he finally gave up on it. He had gotten up and pulled Alex up in the air witjh one cleched fist, gripping his shirt. He was getting angry.

"Look, I'm not sure what your problem is buddy, but you've crossed one too many lines! My brother dislikes you, so I do too. Especially now, the way you act."

He growled, fangs sticking out of his lips. He snarled and pushed Alex away, boxed their food and left with Angel without another word, leaving the boy alone with his food and the money. Gold could not stand another minute of this brat. He walked with Angel back to the room and he hopped back on the bed, exhausted and now stressed as well.

To distract himself, he grabbed a block of whetstone and unsheathed his longsword, and began sharpening it. He was seriously pissed, but he was a lot better about containing it, other than when he had lifted Alex off of the ground. But he didn't care. He glanced out the window every once in a while, hoping Silver and Julie would return soon.
 
Alex was lifted up by the one called Gold. "Hey, take it easy, there, angel. I'm just saying the truth, I don't mean any disrespect to the woman you literally knew for one day. That's all."

As Alex was dropped, he saw them depart. He shrugged and continued to enjoy his food. He had expected it to come to this, and was glad they decided not to fight him. He stared at the human girl briefly, and smiled. "Don't worry about that, that's how angels say goodbye.

He continued to eat his food, marveling at the taste of it. Alex packed some of the money they left him in his guitar case, and silently ate his food, a smile on his face, understanding now the foolishness of the rebellion squad. "Two days..." He repeated silently to himself.
 
They were in the hotel room now, and Gold was sharpening his sword, seriously pissed off. Angel started picking at her feathers. "G-Gold? I t-think you s-should see t-this", she said. She had her left wing out, picking the dead feathers off. There, at the bottom of her wing, was an irridecent light purple feather. Brand new. She was sure she was imagining things. "I think I've gone insane", she said. She knew that hadn't been there yesterday. She moved closer and started massaging his shoulders, attempting to ease the tension from lunch. " I hope this helps a little bit. I know I can't fix it, but I can try and help", she said softly. "He's always been lazy and a jerk. The only one who can stand him is Rikki, and even then she wants to rip his head off, for obvious reasons. I never really liked Alex anyways..". Angel knew she was talking too much, another of her nervous habits, which she has many of. When she got nervous enough she tended to talk wayyy too much. She was a very nervous angel, but she was working on it. She tried to act fearless and brave and strong, but it simply wasn't her born nature. She was in reality a very nervous, timid, flighty angel. Her parents had both been fearless people. She had been bullied terribly because of her timid nature, often times coming home in tears because they were bullying her so badly. Her father had tought her to be fearless and strong and brave. But she can't always keep that act up. She hasn't shown anyone her timid, nervous flighty nature since that one night. "Just forget about him Gold. He's not worth it. I've been called worse things than selfish. He's trying to get under your skin" she said. Her voice was calm, when on the inside she wanted to cry and kill Alex at the same time.

Gold frowned, sheathed his longsword and tossed it back in the corner. He smiled a little when Angel showed him a light purple feather.

Brother was right... Almighty knows that we're helping him...

He felt really good being massaged, because it snapped him from his thoughts, and he wondered how long she'd been doing this before he realized she was. He leaned back, laying a bit against her and tilting his head back to rest at her shoulder. He invisioned the satisfaction of lifting the boy off of his feet an--... Suddenly his eyes widened and he tensed right back up, in shock.

"That can't be right..."

He pictured the boy, Alex. He pictured the man who had forced them to kill their mom and dad. They looked so... Similar!
 
Julie looked at Silver and just looked at him saddly.It scared the crap out of her when she saw his hands.She couldn't find her voice as he began to cry.Riley would know what to say,if only she was here.It should have been Julie who died,not Riley.Riley was a much better angel by far,she knew what to do and what to say,and when to do and say it.Riley was more powerful then Julie,Julie really should have been the one killed,not Riley.Tears formed into her own eyes,but she wouldn't let them out,Silver was in a much worse condision then her.Julie go on her knees and hugged Silver which was all she could do,she felt like.She felt one tear fall from her eyes,but she stopped the rest.

"No,I'm not crying,I don't have much of a reason to cry."Julie said insid her head.
 
Silver felt her arms wrap around him as she knelt by him. He felt warm now, her scent pleasant to him. He looked down guiltily, having scared her, and wrapped his arms around her as well, but being careful to avoid bleeding on her. He walked back to the apartment with her, feeling better that she was trying to comfort him, so it was working. When they got back he found the medical wrap and began wrapping his hands. Afterward, he thought, it actually felt good that way. He considered wearing wraps on his hands all of the time, it would also help with punching. Silver and Gold exchanged a glance, knowing they were thinking of the same thing: Alex's resemblance to the man who made them kill their parents. Gold spoke up first.

"So you noticed too..."

Silver nodded.

"Do you think that maybe they--"

Silver stammered and stopped himself.

"No, there's no way. The man was a light angel, and Alex is dark." Gold replied solemnly.

"B-but mom was a d--"

Gold stopped Silver with a warning glare. But it was obvious. This was why their parents were killed. Mother was a dark angel.

Gold frowned. "I know brother... But you have to think openly. What if he was related to Alex? What then?"
 
Julie walked back to the apartment with Silver.She watched him and Gold talk.She looked at Rosie,wondering what she was thinking about this whole mess.She thought about what the man in their memory looked like,beens they showed Julie and Rosie.Now that she thought about it he did look like that guy.Julie recalled stepping out of her bedroom door and seeing the dark angel that ended up killing Riley,but she thought it was a dream so she laid back down in her bed.It was a female.She had blonde hair that went to her wrists and dark brown eyes.She had lightly tanned skin as well.If she ever saw anyone who looked like her,they would be killed.Julie couldn't stop the hatred from appearing on her face,her eyes narrowed and hatred burned in them and her whole face went strict as the thought about who killed Riley.She felt her hands turning hot,fire was slightly appearing in them,she made it dissappear but didn't change the look on her face,hatred,pure hatred.
 
Silver sensed the heat inside Julie rise unnaturally, he saw her generate fire, and she looked mad. He frowned and gripped her tightly and held her close, reminding her that he was here for her. He hoped she would calm down, even after he had just thrown his fury at some trees not half an hour or so ago. He sighed.

"You okay...?"

His light amethyst gaze looked up at her, his eyes softened with emotion, and he held her close to him.
 
Angel was troubled greatly by how much Alex looked like that man who had hurt Gold and Silver. *Wait...I have an idea! Show me the memory again, all of it like last time. No matter how much I cry do not, I repeat, DO NOT stop until it's finished. I'll tell you my idea afterwards.*, Angel thought to Gold. The blade. It was the blade that she noticed. The blade Alex had and the one the man had were the same! She just needed to prove it. * And I've been massaging your shoulders for about 25-30 minutes now. I know your stressed out and tired and don't want to remember that night, but I think the blade the man used is the same as Alex's blade. Please Gold*. Her lilac eyes were determined and also pleading. She wanted to help, and if that meant she had to cry for a while, she'd do it. She looked at her wings again and noted 5 more purple feathers, all different shades of iridescent purple. She heard a voice in her head, and since her mind was open to Gold and Silver, they heard it too. *You can do it baby girl*, the voice said. *Come on sweetheart, we believe in you. We love you*, said another. These were two voices she hadn't heard in 10 long years. Raven and Darius. Her mother and father. Just then the voices were gone again, like they had never been there. She smiled and replied out loud, "I know I can do it". She was no longer scared. She finally become the fearless girl she wanted to be. Her lilac eyes now blazed with determination and nothing else. There was no way Gold was going to talk her out of it. No matter what he did, she was not going to back down and submit. She took a drink of coke and waited, braced for the flood of emotions. Her hand was on Gold's, re-assuring him she would be alright, no matter what. *I hope you know I love you, my little foxy-boy*, she thought, kissing Gold briefly.

Julie snapped out of her anger and looked at Silver.

"I-I'm sorry I was thinking about thenight Riley was killed,I saw who killed her,but I thought they we're part of a dream."Julie said,then sorrow filled her eyes and her hands grew cold and a very small peice of ice appeared."If I had relized it wasn't she wouldn't be dead,I was so stupid back then."

Julie began to very quietly sing If I die young.She usually sang when a feeling was over whelming her,and she would sing a song that went with her feeling.She looked at Silver,and hugged him.
 
Silver held her tighter and nuzzled his head against hers, a sad look on his face.

"It's not your fault..."

~~~~~

Gold held Angel close.

No, no, I believe you... Besides, Silver is the one who projects memories, and I don't think he could stand doing that again... But how do you think Alex ended up with the sword then? The only logical explaination is that they're related...
 
Angel sighed. *They probably are related I just don't know how....I just want this to end, Gold. I just want it to end, to have a place where no one cares if you were born a light angel or a dark angel, to live in peace. I want to be able to sing as the sun rises and as the sun sets, not having to worry about being found and killed*, she sent him. Her wings were more purple now. She wondered if they would completely change before Alex or Rikki saw them again. She picked up a jet-black feather and looked at it. *This molting is strange. It doesn't hurt at all. It feels...wonderful.* She let Gold feel it through her mind. *I hope you like purple. Cause that's what your going to get* She put a purple feather in Gold's hair. She nudged her way under Gold's arm and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth and safety he provided
