I fly over the houses of California, my black wings flapping hard to keep me in the air. I fly around for awhile until I hear something, it's someone laughing. I whirl around tilting my wings so that I hover in the air and looking around I find my target, an alleyway where two boys are pummeling another boy, who is trying to fight back. I tuck my wings in and dive and at the last untuck my wings so I land softly on the ground behind them. I unsheath my sword and walk toward them, they turn around surprised, "Hey!" I yell, "Pick on somebody your own size!" I let my wings flare out behind me as I get into a fighting stance. They look at me, shocked at my wings but quickly recover, and start running towards me with daggers. I kick the first one in the groin and he falls over, then I hit him with the dull part of my sword, he passes out. The next runs at me with his dagger, I quickly disarm him and sheath my sword. I punch him in the face, using all of my strength, including my immortal strength, and I hear the crack of his nose breaking. I smile in satisfaction and the other boy speaks, "What are you? Wait, who are you?" As I smile I hold out my hand, "I'm Rebecca, and I'm a dark angel, sorta," He studies me before taking my hand, "Jessie," He thinks for a moment, "Dark Angel, huh? How did that happen?" I grimace and he notices and puts his hands up in mock, defeat. "Sorry didn't realize that was a sore subject," I study him, his bruises and scratches have already healed, that's weird. I decide to answer, "Well, one, I have black wings. And two, I help humans," He smiles and speaks softly, "I guess you have to go," I nod and launch myself into the air. I fall down and land in Jessie's arms, I pat his chest and he sets me down, "Thanks," I murmur and spread out my wings. I check my left, then my right and notice that I have several deep gashes in them that are slowly healing. I look at Jessie, "Can I stay with you for awhile?" I look down at my shoes, Jessie laughs, "Sure but, it'll just be you and me, is that okay?" I nod slowly, Jessie walks up to me and takes my hand. He pulls me out of the alleyway my wings dragging behind me. Awhile later he pulls me into a big, blue house. He lets go of my hand and sits on the couch, I find a stool and sit on it. I spin on the stool to face Jessie, who is staring at me, "Do you have a soft brush I can use for my wings?" He nods, stands up and goes upstairs. He comes back down with a brush and hands it to me. I brush the fronts of both my wings being careful of the gashes. I look at Jessie, "Can you brush the back of my wings?" He nods and gets up quietly, takes the brush from me and starts brushing the back of my wings. I love the feeling of his soft hands on my wings. When finished he brushes my hair, then puts the brush away. He shows me to the only bed in his house, his bed. I lay down, with my wings out a little to be comfy. Jessie lays beside me and falls asleep instantly. I quietly creep out of the room and onto the roof. My wings automatically spread out beside me to help me balance. I sit down and pull my legs to my chest, close my eyes and tilt my head up. Just then, Jessie walks toward me, "Can't sleep?" He asks and I shake my head. My phone buzzes and I pull it out of my back pocket. It shows my reminder to go home. I check my wings which have healed and smile, I go to Jessie and kiss him on the cheek, then I launch myself into the air but, before I use my speed to go back home I turn around and look at Jessie who ie, blushing? I fly to higher to the stratosphere and finally arrive home. I speed to the house with a flap of my wings and creep into my room. I lay down on my bed and fall asleep with thoughts of Jessie in my mind.
