Forbidden Existence

" That was fun!"

" Gahhhhhhhhh!!! You nut! How could you go and start making a big fuss and then fight smugly with a poisoned body!! Much worse, you have a cold! Are you trying to kill yourself?! And then what?! That was fun?! You nutjob!" Said Angelo angrily, worriedly. Taking off Ethan's oversized jacket to change it to a clean shirt, aggressively.

" Hey! That hurt! Can't you see how weak and beat up I am!"

" Yep! That weakling who's covered in bruises, poisoned and with a cold knocked out his cousins in one go! How weak. . .!"

" Whoa! " The four, Lloyd, Jacky, Kevin, and Clyde looked at Ethan(2) in surprise.

A flower with a grey stem, having five black petal bud and one white petal can be seen on Ethan's chest can be seen, the only white petal which was the only one that bloomed was nearly covered in black-looking veins as if the darkness was devouring the light, it's withering. Near the small hellish flower was a giant bruise, and inside & outside the nearly circled bruise are red dots that can be seen on his neck too, it simply implies that he has eaten human food again, and is poisoned by it.

" What are you so panicked about? You were so calm when we were on the battlefield. " Ethan(2) asked, changing the topic, but confused by Angelo's sudden change of attitude. " Besides. . . Someone's helping us prevent this vessel from dying, so it's fine." Ethan(2) added, reassuring. Ethan(2) was planning on shrugging but was unable to, feeling intense pressure pulling his whole body down, helplessly laid on the concrete floor.

" That was because you said that showing weaknesses to you villains is equal to suicide! How could I possibly let them know that you're like that!?" Angelo reasoned. Lloyd, Jacky, Clyde, and Kevin looked at Angelo.

' He called us Villains. . .?' the four thought.

' Huh? Now that I've thought of it. . . He looked similar to. . .' their thoughts continued.

" Angelo Yeshua?!" The four shouted.

" Pipe down! You will wake up Faith." Angelo whispered in anger, scolding. The four instinctively covered their mouths. " How did you know me. . .?" Angelo stared at them, questioning, tilting his head. His existence was announced but he was never once exposed to the public.

" What the heck?! Why's an Angel invited to a Black flower's gathering?! " The four protested in a whisper, staring at Ethan.

" Why not?" Angelo asked, tilting his head to the right again, but this time, innocently.

" 'Why not' you say!!?" The four in panicked asked.

" That was a joke. Why can't I come to my precious cousin's family party?" Angelo asked with a cunning smile.

" Cousin?! You?! Him?!" The four shouted again, pointing at Ethan the Villain and Angelo the Angel.

Angelo glanced at Faith who was sleeping on the couch in front of an open TV. Faith groaned in annoyance as a response to their noise. Angelo glared at them with a look saying 'Are you idiots for real!', white smoke formed in his hand, then it turned into a silver gun.

" I warned you," Angelo said and swung the gun from Lloyd on the right side to Jacky at the end of their side line(left). Small smokes in between their legs made small swishing sounds, it was four bullets that missed their targets intentionally. With that, the three felt overwhelmed, for the first time in their life, they felt weak.

" Angelo, are you going to kill them?" Ethan(2) asked.

" Huh? No way! It's called exorcism! " Angelo reasoned.

" I can't allow that! I haven't even completed a single mission he gave me yet! "

" Mission? "

" That's a secret," answered Ethan(2).

" Wow. . . You still have the energy to joke around, huh?"

That was a misunderstanding though, the current body of Ethan hurts all over, although it's normal for it to be in pain, today is just way too different, it's more sensitive to pain. Every time the wet clothe Angelo used to wipe him to clean off the blood feels like spiky ice sliding all over the places it touched, it will feel numb and excruciating. But what could Ethan(2) ever do? He's unable to move his body by will, no choice but to endure the pain.

" . . .Are you alright?" Angelo asked, noticing his cousin's faint groaning.

". . ."

Ethan(2) only closed his eyes. How can he tell him that whenever he breathed out feels like he's breathing out his spirit, whenever he breathes in feels like breathing in fire, his body covered in bruises felt like he's rotting as he lives, with the poison(chocolate candy on chapter 1) slowing his heart rate even though it's already slow as is make him feel numb, like a person in a state of sleep paralysis . . .

" Ah. He fell asleep. This guy. . . seriously!"

" I didn't. Hey, could you put her beside me? " Ethan(2) requested.

" Huh? Sure. . ." Angelo carried Faith and laid her next to Ethan(2) on the table.

Ethan, desperately lifting his arms, grabbing Faith's small and thin shoulder, bit her real deep that she woke up from the pain.

". . .!?"

They were all flabbergasted and quiet, Faith wasn't able to utter a groan, too stunned from the pain to react, staggering, losing her balance completely, Angelo hurriedly caught her.

" I, Angelo Yeshua, an Angel of forgiveness is forgiving your wrongdoings. You shall be fixed from being broken physically and mentally. Live a healthy life and do all to the glory of God! " Angelo uttered calmly, with his right hand holding Faith's hands. Forehead on her as he whispers a prayer.

White little bits of light showered the two. And so, an Angel's power was revealed. Faith's body healed, but it's still in a bad shape, she's still malnourished.

Angelo's closed eyes opened slowly, now locked on Ethan's. He laid Faith on the side of the wide table, far from Ethan(2). Dragging the fully healed Ethan off the table and offered him a punch.

" Have you lost your mind?!" Angelo said fiercely, panting, his background gives off an illusion of falling white sacred feathers.

" . . . Well, sorry to shock you. I'm no saint to be so considerate. I'm a Villain after all." said Ethan(2). His red cheeks from Angelo's punch turned pristine pale instantly. Coming to the other end of the wide table, shaking Faith gently and said, " Let's go, Faith, I bet you feel sticky from the blood. Let's wash up."

Faith stood up and followed Ethan, like a chick cutely following her mother hen.

" Faith. . . Did you just forget what he did to you. . .just seconds ago?" Angelo asked, asking why she's not mad at Ethan for biting her in a roundabout way. Faith turn around, facing him with a smile on her thin and distorted face

" Hmm? Um. . . I did not. But I guess it's all fine. And to be honest with you sir, I trust him more than you." Said faith with a small smile and shut eyes.

Angelo felt very wronged and little for the second time ever. He stood there idly. Not knowing what to do at that very moment. Well, you'd be the same if your self-esteem crumbled.

And the four just stood a few feet there, watching the whole scene like a live drama, like they're watching a movie together.

" W-wait! Y-you two?! . . . W-w-wash up t-together?! Ethan(2), you can't be. . .!? You lolicon! You child abuse! " Jacky protested.

". . ." Ethan(2) looked at Faith instead of Jacky who spoke to him.

" Aww, come on! How can you guys not trust this guy for once? Jeez." Faith pouts cutely and scratches her head, sighing. " Hey ugly, my papa is not that type of guy! And with my body that hasn't even riped yet, who'd get turned on by a skeleton?! " Faith defended her new father as she reasoned.

(Lloyd raised his hand)

" Pfft, even a kid her age knows better than you, 'Jackidiot'. " Chuckled Ethan(2).

" W-what?! YOU TWO!! " Jacky shouted angrily but Ethan and Faith only ran away while laughing.
