CHAPTER FOUR

"When I was a little girl, my mother would remind me each night before bed to be sure to open my heart to God,for he was kind,merciful and just.Things changed after my father left us years later,leaving her to raise me and my sister alone in a little place we called it HOME.She never talked about a kind and merciful God again.Instead she spoke of a prophecy.Of a time when all the world would be covered in darkness and the fate of Mankind would be decided.One night I finally got up the courage to ask my mother why God had changed,why was he mad at his children."I don't know," she said,tucking the covers around me,"I guess he just got tired of all the bullshit." - Aurora Eleena Fernandez

One month before,An alleyway in late night.A dark figure in tattered trench coat tumbles onto the pavement,hands out to slow the impact.A beat then slowly he climbs to his feet,recovering from what seems to have been quite a fall.He has chiseled features,shaved head,deep-set eyes.Looks like he's been through one Hell of a fight.His name,we will come to know,is Anael.He quickly checks out his surroundings,nothing but brick walls above him,Where'd this guy jump from?

A rumble of thunder then rain starts to hammer down.Seems to motivate him.Anael pulls his overcoat tight around his body and dashes toward the mouth of the alley.He reaches the street just in time to see a fleet of police cars tearing around the corner,sirens wailing,heading this way.He reels back into the alleyway,ducks down behind a trash dumpster,as the blue and red light of the police cars whip past.Anael waits for the lights to disappear,then he pulls a massive ornate knife from his jacket.Considers it grimly.Runs his finger along its edge.Blood beads up.Razor sharp.

Anael begins to peel off his overcoat,revealing his bare chest underneath and skin literally covered with Dark tattoos.Hard to see what they are in this light.As his coat falls to the ground, we drift over to the brick wall behind him where we see Angel's shadow crouch over,and then two large shapes unfold from his back,stretching up into what are unmistakably.The shadow of WINGS.The rain pounds harder,as if punishment from the Heavens.The glint of the knife coming down fast.A horrendous sound of flesh tearing away from bone.The bloody knife clattering to the pavement followed by Anael's ungodly scream rising up from the alley way.And then silence;close on the gutter,as blood begins to flow freely,mixing swirling with the rain.

Aurora's jolt from her class chair as Misty from her side tapping her shoulder,whispering something that she should know before she dreams again."Seems the new teacher had crushed on you on his first day teaching." She pointed.The two girls glanced at the front where he sat, his eyes still locked on Aurora in a smile.

"He's delusional."

"Delusional is what you are saying." Misty giggled."You think he's like you too? having his own dream."

Aurora shrugged."Then asked him."

"Oh I will.But not now."

Suddenly the school bell rang, time for having their lunch.Aurora heard the crowd of students chattering and walked in the hallway straight to the locker before heading to the cafeteria.

"Okay.See next class." said Anael.And he watched Aurora walk past him out of the class.With a smile he followed her behind but not to the cafeteria,he's going to the man lavatory taking his own business.

One month before as Anael on Earth,at Heaven Michael and Gabriel take their argument and the only God listening to them."You send Anael down to Earth.Why!?"

"Gabriel.Before you said anything remember who you talked to."

"I know.But this is outrageous.An angel lives with humans,falling in love with humans doesn't make sense."

Michael shakes his head."And you are hunting him down there."

"I must.This is part of our job, am I correct you,Michael.No angel life among humans!"

Michael and Gabriel look up at the only God with patient;the God said."I created you both.In earth all of them is my creation.I allowed Anael to get what he wanted but there's a condition he must take;and he accepts it."

"So you allowed him to live with them,among humans."

"I didn't said he will life with them forever.Not until you starting the war attacking him,Gabriel.He's hurt and pain you gives him.He's lucky with my helped he'd survive by his own for the first time like Adam and Eve.Life together among with my creation;he slept,he ate,money,health,home,shower and he should hide his wings and you broke his wings that he must cutting it."

"That's because you keep this secret away from me!"

Gabriel wants to attack but Michael stops him before it is too late."Gabriel stops! Remember who you are.This is God you argue for,he'd can do whatever he wants toward his creation and you can't stop it with your own." He looked up at God with apologies on behalf of Gabriel."Forgive him.He's out of his reaction."

"You are too kind,Michael.I'm okay with it." The two angels stare as God speaks back."I've believed when the time comes Anael must come back in here,as for you Gabriel." the God pointed."You can visit him if you want that includes you,Michael.But?" The two Angels stare again."No war between the Angels."

"Thank you." said Michael but not Gabriel.He's still in his temperament."I'll make sure Gabriel not to do that with his tempered."

The god smiled."Don't get tempered with me,Gabriel.Give him a chance to live and know her better.He loves her so much that you can't stop him,he will risk his life to protect what he's love. Soon you will know the truth."

"I don't want to know the truth.I want to know what makes you send Anael down there."

Back to present,later night.The two girl arriving at the party Misty talked about.She and the others whom involve having their own fun but not Aurora;she's hate it."This is stupid!"

"Just pretending to be fun.Aurora." She looked around."This is great I think and it would be great if that bitch with her bitches not be a Host for this party tonight."

"Suit yourself,she owns everything, remember."

Meanwhile at somewhere place in Church.Anael prayed to God of his kindness giving him a chance to get close with his Aurora but there's a condition before the God himself sending him down in here.He'd did battling with Gabriel after he find out and he's too the one who broke his wings that he had to cut it.He look up.

"Forgive for my Sin if I did wrong today,my Lord.Forgive my sin for this past month I'm staying in here and forgive me everything." He bowed,and a minute prayed his heart suddenly did not feel so good.Like something told him that Aurora's in her trouble.What could that be? he held his chest and breath."My lord.My chest is in pain is it?"

Back to the party."I'm out! I can't breathe here."

"Oh you should." Suddenly one of the party guests spoke to them in fear."You two shouldn't be in here with your two age.This is not your place."

Aurora, curious,she spoke back."What do you mean?"

An second the sound of the police cars tearing around the whole place,sirens wailing,heading this way.All the guest and student whom involved in this party started to panic with fear till one of them shouts telling them they arrived to take all of them down and the party is illegal by the law.

"RUN!"
