*A few days later*
"Dad! There's been a sighting of an angel in Himmel Wood! It's a small town in Texas."
I say as I rush into his office. He looks up at me as I hand him the pictures of the female figure with wings. She seems to be carrying something or someone in her hands? She's flying above a building. The image is a bit blurry, but you can make out some details about the girl. She had long dark colored hair. She looked to be of average height and she had two white wings sprouting out of her back. They look to be made almost out of light. You can't really see the details.
"Good job son. Now we have to bring her in. And get her to talk."
"So we're going to Himmel Wood?"
"Yes, tell the men to get ready. I want you to be there by tomorrow night."
"Yes, sir."
Uriel's POV
When I woke, all I could register was a dull throbbing near the top of my back. I could feel something soft on my back. I groaned and opened my eyes. My mother was in here. She was looking at me in awe.
"Baby, you are going to go through so many hardships. I need you to stay calm, but you're wings are not white."
"What I thought all angel's wings are white?"
"No baby, our wings show our status of powers. Your wings are not white. They're black."
"What does that mean?"
"We don't know yet, but I'm sure I know where to look. Babyboy, you're going to have to tell your mate about yourself. I have a feeling you're going to need him more than ever pretty soon."
"What do you mean? Pretty soon? Do you know something I don't? I mean besides the obvious things."
" I don't know. I'll have to check with your father and your grandma..."
"Grandma? Mom, are you okay? We don't have a grandma. You told us she died when you were young."
"Not mine...your father's."
What the fuck is happening? What does it mean? Why are my wings black? I quickly get off from the bed and run over to the bathroom. I look into the mirror and gasp in shock. My hands cover my mouth. Holy shit! They're so pretty. My wings spread out to be about bigger than my entire arm span. They're a raven black. You can see some tints of purple and blue. They're are not made of feathers, like I thought they would be. they seem to made of some kind of light. It's so weird, it looks like feather made from light, but you can physically touch them yet they don't rip apart my shirt. I start jumping up and down on the balls of my feet as a huge grin comes on my face.
"Mom! Mom! Look at my wings! They're so pretty! I want to fly! Can I? Can I? Please?!"
"No, Uriel. You know you can't be taught till the night has come so you can be hidden."
With that she left the room. I was so excited, I couldn't wait!
*****
When I walked out into the living room, I was a little bit disappointed that Adam didn't stay and wait for me, but I'm relieved because this means I don't really have to explain what happen to me yet. I know, I know, I'm such a pussy. You're probably right, but who cares, I have wings! I looked around and spotted Alex and Ariel cuddled together on the couch, Raph was sitting at the table going through a book, while dad was nowhere to be seen. Mom was in the kitchen preparing dinner. They all look up and gasp in shock. They stared at my wings. They all had questions in their eyes. They made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
"So can someone tell me how to make my wings disappear?"
"Just will them to go back into your body."
"Okay, sounds easy enough. Thanks Raph."
I said as I began to focus on making my wings disappear.
"It kind of is-"
I felt a weird sensation of something being sucked into my body and I gasped.
"That felt incredibly strange! Is it the opposite when I want to take them out?"
"Yea."
I focused again and felt my wings push out and leave my body. I giggled at the feeling. I made them go back in and back out again. I kept doing it. I couldn't help, but laugh at the sensation.
"As amusing as it is to watch you act like five year old, it needs to stop because we need to talk."
I jumped because I was so busy having fun that I didn't hear my father come in.
You need to act a bit more mature at the moment.
Hey! It's you! I still don't know what to call you...I don't like Uriel two, so I refuse to call you that. Angel will be a temporary name.
I'm okay with that.
Can you tell things now?
I believe things are about to be explained to you.
Really?
Yes, now pay attention!
Don't have to be so demanding! Can I tell them now? About you I mean?
Yes. Now is the time to tell them.
I quickly snapped back into reality when there was a bunch of people calling my name.
"Huh?"
"Why do you keep spacing out like that Uri?"
I take in a deep breathe and let it out.
"Well, apparently I can talk to my angel side..."
"What? That's not possible...right? Mom? Dad?"
"Actually Ariel, it is very possible and this just confirms what I've been thinking. Michael get out the book that your mother gave you. There something in there that I want to check out."
Dad nods and goes to do what mom ordered. She looks at me with pride in her eyes. What does she know?
"What is it mom?"
"You'll see. If I'm correct, which I'm pretty sure I am, then I'll tell you."
"Okay."
A few minutes later dad comes back with an old book that looks like if you blew on it, it would fall apart.
"What's that dad?"
"Well, your grandmother gave it to me."
"I thought she was dead?"
"No, she isn't. She gave this to me when Uriel was born."
"Wait, how did she give it to you? I don't remember anyone coming here that day."
"You wouldn't Raph, you were only two at the time."
"Besides, your grandma is a bit unorthodox....She comes and goes as she pleases."
Mom says as she grabs the book and opens it. She quickly turns and scans the pages till she stops.
"I knew it!"
"Knew what?"
"You, my sweet baby boy, are the the angel of salvation, of judgement, of peace, of destruction...in other words you're a very powerful angel as well. This is why you had your transition so early. You will will help save our species from extinction. This is why you must have the support of your mate. You will need it. There is a prophecy around you that I heard from my mom, when I was younger."
"Isn't it in the book?"
"I believe it is. Here it is. Why don't you read it for yourself, Uri?"
I slowly walk toward my mom, not knowing how to feel about anything. I begin reading out loud so everyone can hear.
"The angel, who begins their life early will bring peace to their kind. His wings, the color of the night, will fan out the flames of destruction created by the evil ones. Guided by the voice of his angel and with the support of his mate, a necessary monster among mankind, he will unite all species. His powers will have no match. This, of course, is only if he chooses his path wisely. He will judge the dead and save the living. That is the duty of the Angel of Judgement. 'Remember darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good'(Can anybody tell me where this is from?!?! You'll get a dedication next chapter if you guess correctly.). "
"I can't believe it....my baby brother is to save us...he'll get hurt! No! I won't allow it!"
"Ariel!"
"No! Raph! He isn't suppose to protect us! he's suppose to be protected! He's so fragile and..."
"Enough! I don't like it either, he's my baby brother too! But, we can't change what has been foretold. We can only accept it and live our life the best way we can."
"Uri, are you okay?"
"I...I...I think, I'm going to fai-"
Darkness didn't even let me finish before rendering me unconscious
*****
A sudden vibration in my left pocket woke me up. I looked around the darkened room and saw that I was indeed in my room with my whole family in here. Ari and mom were in my bed on each side of me and Raph and dad where sleeping on the small couch. My phone vibrated again and I gently moved away from Ari and mom and tried not to disturb them as I get out of my bed. I walk toward the kitchen because I'm kind of hungry. My phone vibrates for the third time and I quickly take it out. I first check the time to see that it is eleven at night. It's isn't terrible late. I open up my messages and see that I got three from Adam. I feel my whole face light up as I read each message from him.
Hey gorgeous! Just wanted to check up on you.
I hope you're feeling better!
I miss you!
I decided to text him back.
I miss you too! I'm feeling better now.
I don't wait long for his reply.
Any chance you'll tell me what's wrong with you?
I bite my lip...should I? My angel and I begin discussing it.
He is our mate and he will accept us. Plus, we need him to know now that the prophecy states we need him!
What do you mean? It just says we need his support. Not that he's a vital part.
But he is a vital part! Without our mates, we angels tend to go a bit crazy and that's how the fallen started.
The fallen? What's that?
Lesson time, Uriel! The fallen are the angels that give in to their angel side, whose sole purpose becomes to find their mates. They go crazy and attack those who aren't recognized as their mate. They're extremely gullible and extremely dangerous. They are for a lack of a better word rogue angels. They've fallen from humanity and descended into madness. So if our mate leaves us it would only be a short amount of time before you fall. You can't do that because we are the angel of judgement. It would mean the end of humanity if you did.
Okay. I understand we'll tell him then. Tomorrow...we will. Also, since you mention "lesson time" can you explain why I can talk to you and other angels can't?
You have the ability to speak to me because I am the angel of punishment. You judge the souls and I advise you the punishment I assume to be correct for the soul. You are too kind of a soul, Uriel. The God and Goddess saw this and infused you with me so that I may help you and guide you to become a strong and just leader. You are a very important angel, who will bring peace among our kind. I can not take action, in the end it is you who decides what choice you make. I only give you counsel.
Okay. I'm a little confused...If they infused you and I together, then are you an entire different entity?
Yes and no. I am your angel, therefore another entity. But they only gave me a voice and the ability to have opinions and give advice. I was always going to be a part of you, just without the ability to speak. I would be like another part of you that you control.
I see. Okay. I think I found a name for you.
What is it?
Raguel
Raguel? Why?
In Christianity, Raguel is known as the archangel who helps keep the peace and because you are here to help me find peace and resolve any conflict, I figured this is a great name for you.
I see. I like it. Now answer our mate. I can feel his soul getting anxious.
I'm going to need you to explain that, but later.
I look down at my hand to see that my phone is opened to compose a new message.
I'll tell you tomorrow. Meet me at the cafe around lunch, I'm not going to school.
I put my phone away and walk toward the fridge, since I only came into the kitchen because I was hungry. I decided on some leftover pasta from yesterday. I heated it up in the microwave, not even bothering to scoop some out and into a plate. Just as I hit the start button, I hear someone coming down the stairs. I took a sniff and smelled Raph's cologne.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
"Yea, bro! Starved!"
I chuckle and grabbed two forks from the drawer. He walks over to me and I hand him one. He thanks me with a nod. I smile as the microwave goes off with three loud beeps. I quickly open it up and grab the container of yummy food. I put it down between Raph and I so we could both reach in and grab some food. Grabbing a forkful, I put it in my mouth and begin chewing. As we eat, a peaceful silence falls over us. It's broken by Raph.
"How do you feel?"
"Honestly?"
"I wouldn't accept anything but."
"I'm scared."
"Okay, that's pretty usual. Why?"
"Well, besides the fact that I'm some kind of chosen one that's suppose to bring peace to our kind, I also have to tell Adam about me being an angel. Before you say I don't, I do. My angel told me to get it out of the way, basically. I also learned about the fallen, so I'm worried that if Adam doesn't accept me, I'll turn into a fallen."
"How does that work by the way? The ability to speak to your angel?"
"Well from how he explained it, the gods think I'm too kind and I wouldn't be able to punish people correctly so they gave my angel the ability to talk to me and basically give me advice."
"I see. Well, don't worry too much Uriel. If anything happens, you have your family to support you. You know we love you so much! Yea, we're a bit overprotective, but you've always been able to draw that out from people. You just have this innocent aura about you that makes people feel like you need to be shielded away from the horrors of the world."
I was about to speak when once again I heard my door open and judging by the way the person's feet is being dragged, it's Ariel. I get up and grab another fork and hand it to her as she comes in. She quickly grabs the container and begins digging in.
"Thanks for sharing. Ari."
"No prob Raph! You know I love you!" She says sarcastically. We both roll our eyes at her. She smiles and put the tupperware back on the table.
"So, bro-bro, how are you?"
"I'm fine, I suppose."
She gives me the "I don't believe you stare" I sigh because I really didn't want to have to repeat myself, but I do anyways.
"We should teach you how to fly! That would cheer you up!"
"Oh! Yea! Please!!! Raph! Please!"
"Okay, fine. We will. It's easy, so you'll get the hang of it real quick."
We finished eating the pasta and put it in the sink to wash it later. We walk outside and commence the lesson.
"Our wings are just another appendage of ours that we can control. Get them out. Do you remember how?"
I nod and focus. I picture them coming out and as I do I feel them doing so. I smile as I see them. They give off a faint glow and they look iridescent in the moon light. I hear Ariel gasp and mumble a "pretty". I reach out to touch them, and they feel so soft. I look over at Raph and Ari who seemed to have taken out theirs as well.
"So what do I do?"
"It's basically all mentally. Just focus on the feeling of the wind rushing through your hair as you fly through the sky and other things that make you happy and soon it'll become as easy as breathing."
I nod and begin to focus. I'm so glad that mom made me meditate everyday for the past week. I can focus on everything like a pro now. I soon don't feel the ground underneath me anymore. I look down and sure enough I'm hovering above the floor by a few inches. I look up at Raph and Ari who are way above me and smile. I focus on reaching them and in a blink of an eye I was right in front of them.
"Woah! How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"You basically came out of nowhere."
"I don't know. I just thought about reaching you guys and here I am."
"Either you're really fast or you can teleport."
"That's cool."
"Yea! Come on Uri! Raph and I have to initiate you!"
I was a little worried, but I followed them anyways.
*****
I was pacing all over my room. I'm so nervous! Isn't it too soon to tell Adam anything? Maybe I should wait at least a month before telling him. I didn't get much sleep considering I trained and was initiated, plus, I was worried about today.
No! You need to tell him now!
Why?
It needs to be soon, I have a terrible feeling that something will happen in the near future.
What do you think it is, Raguel?
I don't know, but it's going to be bad.
Great, not like I had enough things to worry about.
I check the time to see that I have twenty minutes till twelve. So I grab my shoes and put them on. I walk out the door and head toward the front door. Along the way, I get good lucks from my siblings. I give them a nervous smile and nod. I bite my lip and wring my fingers together on the way to the cafe. When I get there, I open the door and am greeted by such yummy smells. I walk toward the cashier that just so happens to be Xavier.
"Ah occhi azzurri! How are you? I heard you were dating my brother, poor choice. Go on a date with me instead?"
He teases and send me a playful wink, just as I hear a growl coming from behind me.
"È mio! Quindi marcia indietro! Stronzo! (He's mine! So back off! Asshole!)"
That sounded pretty sexy! I squeal as a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me into a hard chest. I sigh as I snuggle into Adam. He nuzzles my neck causing me to giggle. Just being with him makes me feel so much better and safer.
"Chill! I was just joking, bro!"
"Sure. Uri, are you ready?"
I tense back up at the sentence that was directed toward me. I took a deep breath and sighed.
"Let's walk toward the park."
He nodded and grabbed my hand as he lead me out the cafe. I know he could feel my sweaty palms, but he didn't say anything about it. When we got there I lead him over to the swings. We sit and face each other. I sigh out loud.
Well, here goes nothing. Remember, I blame you Raguel if he rejects us.
I open my mouth to speak to him.
