After the audition, the band members introduced themselves and took Percy out for some late night snacks.  Two girls, who later introduced themselves as Clary and Maureen, followed along in pursuit.  Percy noticed the strange markings plastered on Clary's body, similar markings to his.  He wanted to ask her about them but decided against it, for it might reveal his identity. 

"So," Simon began, "You've lived here all your life?"

"Yep, I grew up in Manhattan.  What 'bout you?"

"Brooklyn-raised."

"Cool!  I was wondering, can I crash at your place?"  Simon's aura flashed a nervous purple.  He didn't know if he could handle a mundane living with him.  What if the urge became too strong, and he ended up sucking Percy dry?

"Dude, please!  I have nowhere else to go."  Percy felt bad for manipulating the young man, but he had to find out.

"Ok," Simon sighed, "You can stay at my place."

Percy smiled.  "Thanks roomie."

When they got back to Simon's apartment they both crashed on the couch and turned on the TV.  About twenty minutes into the show, Simon's phone began to ring.

"What do you want, Jace?" Simon whispered harshly.

"I need to talk to you about Clary.  I'm coming over to your apartment tomorrow morning."  Jace said, walking through the institute.

"I can't.  One of my bandmates is staying here right now and I don't think he's leaving anytime soon."

"I can handle your little mundane friend, vampire.  I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Simon sighed.  When he walked back to the couch, he noticed Percy had made a bag of popcorn.

"Want some?" Percy offered.

Simon gaged.  Ever since he had risen from the grave, human food never seemed to agree with him.  One moment he'd be eating with his family, the next moment he'd be throwing up in the bathroom.

"No thanks."

The two boys continued watching until they passed out from sleep deprivation.

The next morning, Percy woke up and began to make breakfast.  After checking to see if anyone was watching, he closed his eyes.  When he opened them, two plates of blue pancakes appeared on the wooden table.

When Simon finally woke up, he saw his green-eyed roommate smiling down at him, with two plates of pancakes.

'Oh no' he thought miserably. 

"Good morning!" Percy said, setting a plate down in front of his friend, "I made breakfast."

"I'm sorry dude, but I don't eat breakfast." Simon shrugged, feeling terrible for refusing the meal Percy had made for him.

Percy frowned.  "It's ok."  He sensed that his roommate was lying.

Before he could question him, Percy noticed that the bright light he had seen in the mortals was dim inside of Simon.  His soul was black, as if it was rejecting any sign of God's grace.

There was a knock at the door.  Simon, knowing who it was, was quick to open the door.  As it opened, it revealed a golden-eyed boy.  He radiated confidence with every step.

Percy felt a sudden connection to this mysterious boy.  As if he were a long lost cousin or nephew.

"Hey Vampire," he said.  Simon gave him a nervous glance.

'So that's what he is' Percy thought.  The boy obviously had yet to notice him.

"Shhh!" Simon hushed, "My roommate's in the kitchen right now!  He could have heard you!"

"No mundane could hav-" 

Jace stopped in his tracks.  Looking at the man, he noticed two majestic wings sticking out of his back.  His skin glowed with runes, invisible to the human eye.  But Jace was no human.

He sunk to one knee.  "Angelus Domini in me, et ego exaudiam vos vocavit."

Percy looked down at him, confused.

"Huh?"

"It is an honor to be in your presence, my lord. My name in Jonathan and I am one of the Nephilim."

Percy laughed. "Dude, you need to calm down."

Jace was confused. He had heard the stories of angels for as long as he could remember. They had inspired him to be tough. He would have never guessed that an Archangel could ever act so childish.

"Guys!" Simon intervened, "What's going on?"

"Your roommate, here," Jace looked over at the emotionless man, "Is an Archangel."

Hey guys!

Sorry for the short chapter.  It's late and I'm too tired to proof read.  It's been such a busy week!  I've had robotics, and I shot a commercial for my school project.  Anyways, I'm trying to find time to work of God of the Eclipse.  The only reason I am updating this story is because I had mass a couple days ago (Catholic School) and felt the need to.

Sorry for the short and lousy update.
