ZION
A look of satisfaction graced her face as she stared at with vengeance. I couldn't fathom how she knew all this but she did tell me once that she dreamt of a man in a white suit and a viper headed staff. The only creature I knew that met that description was Lucifer.
"H-how?" Was the only thing I could muster as I stumbled back slightly due to shock.
Alina didn't bother to hide the smirk that tugged the corners of her lips, "You're asking the wrong questions to the wrong people. Maybe sit down and have a discussion with the people that created you. They might shed some light on whatever is happening to you. Just stay the hell away from me."
"You said that you are like me..." I mused, more to myself than anything else, "You said that it must suck being the strongest being..." My eyes searched her face. There were no tears now. She just stood there with a different type of fierceness in

ZIONDriving was my way to forget. It usually calmed me down. Usually being the operative word. The faster I went, the calmer I felt but this time not even my need for speed and the feeling of the cold wind hitting my face, and flowing through my hair could calm me down. I imagined flying above the clouds would feel similar to driving this fast but I would never know. My dad once compared the feeling of flying and driving fast, said it was very similar and that one day I could compare the two. That day was yet to come.I had my wings, I knew that much. Every angel gets their wings upon creation. Of course, not all angels were created the way I was so my wings came a little differently. When I was five they came in. I had to miss school that entire week because of how painful it all felt. My entire back, and shoulders ached and burned from the sensation of them growing out of me. It felt so unnatural. It was so unnatural.When they were done, I remember looking at myself in the mirror w

ZION"When are the two of you going to make up already? I miss sitting with Max, Sophia, and Alina. They were good company, much better company than Brady and them," Kendra complained for the hundredth time this past three days. Thank goodness it was Friday so I wouldn't have to hear her rant for an entire weekend."No one asked you to constantly follow me around like a tale. You could always just sit by them and be happy," I snapped, closing my locker and shrugging my backpack onto one shoulder. Recently, I wasn't in a good mood to do much and yet Kendra still stuck around.Kendra scowled at me, kneeling her shoulder against Alina's locker, "You don't have to be a jerk, Zion. We get it, you and Alina had a fight but don't take it out on us. You can't ignore them as if you've never met them," she sounded like she actually cared about what I did and in all fairness –in any other situation &ndash

*TRIGGER WARNING: This content contains suicide, you're a sensitive reader please skip those parts!ZIONTime, a concept that never lasts no matter how much you try to save it. To me, time flew by so quickly mainly because I was keeping myself busy for the last week and a half. This coming Friday night would be the Halloween dance. Apparently, every Halloween there's a festival in town. All the citizens were already preparing for the said festival, Halloween itself would be this coming Saturday.I trained every day after school. Everything felt as if it were coming naturally to me now. My abilities weren't that difficult to use once I tried them out a few times. I didn't need to imagine what it would feel like to have my wings anymore for them to appear, I simply just thought of them and a split second later I would be flying in the air. There wasn't the need for me to stare a

ZIONIt made no sense hiding it from her anymore. Before I knew the truth, I thought defending her would seem weird especially since she was a total stranger. It would have made more sense if I went along with their ridiculous joke instead of defending her. But now we both knew why I had that impulse. That stupid prophecy created a bond between us before we could even meet.She ran after me, well ran as much as she could considering her injured leg. I purposely slowed my pace so she could catch up. Even though I hated to admit it, I still willingly cared for her. The part of me that was good cared for all mortals, especially weak injured ones. That obviously came from my mother."What do you mean that was your first warning, what did he do?" She asked, confusion lacing her tone.Shrugging a shoulder, I kicked the pebbles with my boot, "Is it really important what he did? I gave him a warni

ZION Things were slightly better between Alina and me. We still weren't talking to one another in school but we were civilized, greeting each other whenever we saw each other. We pretended as if whatever happened yesterday never happened. No one needed to know what went on between us or what almost happened to her. However, we had to disclose this to the teachers and principal who handled this as quietly as possible. Turned out, the school had a working security cam pointing toward the bleachers which recorded everything.I just hoped no one watched that camera footage every day because then they would have seen what happened between me and that Megan girl.Brady was expelled with immediate effect and I was given a warning. The principal didn't want to issue me with a suspension because I was basically considered a hero. They reprimanded us from skipping school after the incident but after Alina

ZION"Oh look at you, so handsome. When did get all grown up?" my mother dramatically sighed, pretending to wipe a tear from her eye. She stood on the tips of her toes to ruffle my hair but she still couldn't reach, my height towering over her. With a pouty face, she called my father who happily carried her to perform the action."Mom, you're too much!" I groaned, lightly slapping her hand away."Let your mother enjoy this moment son. She never thought she would see it coming," my dad chuckled, kissing his beautiful wife on the cheek.She gave him a pointed glare, "It's not like you saw it coming to so don't get too smart dear husband."Holding his hands up in a surrendering motion, my dad mumbled, "Okay, okay. Jeez, woman!""If you two are done being weird can I get going. I don't want to be late," I placed the Batman mask over my head and awkwardly stared at them. I still couldn't believe that I would be attending the dance. Alina and I had picked out the costumes a few days ago and

ALINA Somehow, we always found our way to the lake. Or at least Zion always found his way to the lake. I realized that he found solace in its quietness. Peace in its tranquility. The clear water of the lake reflected the black stary sky, rippling ever so slightly with the harsh gust of wind that disturbed its peace. The wind ruffled the leaves of the tall trees that lined the area, hiding us from the world. My eyes watched the full silver moon that glistened brightly in the sky. A shiver racked my body, the weather becoming colder as we approached winter.I sat on the pebbles that covered the shore, Zion next to me. He had changed from his costume to a pair of jeans and a T-shirt that he had in his trunk. His car had so many different things stashed in the trunk that it wouldn't surprise me if he pulled out a mini fridge anymore. He had even made me change into a pair of sweats and one of his T-shirts that hugged my figur

ZION "That was amazing! So damn amazing! Like damn!" Alina gushed as we landed onto the ground, "Thank you for that and for not dropping me." She grabbed the shirt that had fallen during our heated kiss and adorned it. The flimsy material shaped her perfectly, hugging her curves.It took everything in me not to look at her, not to ogle at her voluptuous breasts or go further than just kiss her. One night, I just had one night of this before everything would go back to normality tomorrow and she would go back to wanting a platonic relationship with me."I'd never let you fall Angel face," I cooed, pressing a lingering kiss to her cheeks which instantly heated.Her skin flushed and she let out a nervous laugh, "We should really be heading back. It should be close to midnight and I don't want to get into trouble." She said, running her fingers through her disheveled hair. Each time her finge
