Chapter 8
(Reapers POV)
I didn't eat the food, probably cause of my pride so I let it sit there as I tapped the desk flipping through my note book.
Through out the days I had been Hear I found out a lot of the villagers names and wrote them in my book, I was trying to narrow the potential people who could be the three angles.
I sat back in my chair studying the names. I need more information about angles maybe there would be something down at the library, it could be possible mortals wrote about them though it could be false information.
How ever I'm running out of options so it could be my best bet, standing up I looked out the window before walking over to it and opening it, Cool night air blew on my face as I lept out and landed with a small thud on the grass. It was damp with the dew on it but I didn't mind.
Strolling through the candle lit streets there was few mortals running about I guessed they all might be sleeping. I had finally stopped in the front of a historic looking building marked library.
Walking in it was empty except for a old looking turtle mortal sat at the desk he looked ancient and was happily reading a book.
With out wanting to interrupt him I started scanning the isle. There was fiction, Non fiction,history and finally the isle I was looking for I walked down it seeing demonology books which I couldn't help but snicker at and then I saw a book on the heavens. Picking it up I flipped through some of the yellowed pages scanning quickly I saw things like guardian angels, angels that have turned blah blah blah, Ah finally The seven virtues angles.
The seven virtue angels are each of the following....
I skipped over that bit already knowing I scanned down the page till I came across
From what is known of these angles in recorded history is like most angles they can not bleed or at least the way us mortals do their blood can be a gold colour or white showing that they are pure beings untainted by sins.
I grinned bingo I should have figured that before,closing the book I decided to borrow it and started walking to the counter.
"Oh hello I didn't think anyone was hear" the old turtle said squinting at me. "Yeah uh I'm taking this book out" I handed the book to his shaking hands he studied the title before looking up at me "interested in angles hm?"
I gave a shrug "huh well did you hear the crazy stuff that had been talking around town, they say a angle is in this very town" I gave him a blank look.
"Though what would I know I'm just some crazy old coot not like you youngsters eh?" Yeah young sure I'm much more older then him but I didn't say anything just gave a small nod.
"Your not much of a talker eh?" I shrugged "I like keeping to my self" I stated with out much interest. "Then what's a guy like you hanging with Geno and dream?" I gave another disinterested shrug just wanting to leave, maybe this wasn't a good idea.
"Well anyways I'm sure ya got other places to go so bye now" I grabbed the book and quickly left.

(Genos POV)
"Ouch" I muttered dropping the small knife I had been using to cut up a apple, Dream gave me a concerned look and saw the small bloom of gold emitting from my finger. "Jeez Geno you need to be more careful your lucky reaper is out or else we might have gotten caught"
I nodded in agreement, as Dream left to find a Bandaid while I rinsed the cut, he came back with a baindaid before wrapping the cut up. "their" he said sounding achieved " I giggled he was always so happy to help people.

Reaper trudged through the door with a look of disappointment on his face, "You Okay?" I asked showing mild concern, and at that question it was gone replaced with a blank look "Yeah I was just thinking" I nodded slowly "you sure? Cause you look like someone just rejected you" I said trying to make a joke but he didn't seem amused at first but a small smile showed.
"Where's Dream And lust?" He asked I nodded to the back door "Went berry picking" he nodded looking at the door before a wide smirk showed on his face.
"What?" I asked folding my arms, "when the cats are away the mice will play~" I gave him a bizarre look "What do you mean by that?" I asked utterly confused until he stepped closer barely inches away from me.
I felt my cheeks warm up "I mean~" he paused adding to the effect of being flirty "That you,And I, are home alone~" he said the last part in a sing song voice it had finally clicked.
Sprinting out the door I didn't want any of that so I was full on nopeing it out the door. I heard his chuckle and I was imdiently grabbed gently and tugged back so he was hugging me "I'm kidding, well maybe~" I elbowed his ribs and he let out a sharp pained laugh I rolled my eye light "why do you do this?" I asked huffing annoyed.
"hm?" He hummed "ugh your such a flirt" I admitted this made him smirk "Why did dream ever let you stay" I said glancing up at him. He shrugged "Beats me".
As much as I hated to admit it I did feel a weird sort of safeness when his arms where around me, I shut my eyes and pressed my foreskull against his chest giving up on struggling.
I expected to hear the sound of his soul beat but.. it was quite.
