trust me I can handle it and when you avoid my questions like that I always seem to be right.”

  “How can you be so calm and even laughing?”

  “Because I’m fine honestly.”

  “How can you be fine when I found-,” he stopped he didn’t want to say it

  “When you found me.” I finished that sentence for him

  “You were passed out on the sidewalk.” He looked away again and this time he grabbed my hand when he looked back at me “is there something you’ve been doing that you shouldn’t have doing like have you been eating?” he looked at my stomach. I thought that was such an odd question but then I looked at my stomach and notice what I hadn’t noticed before I was a lot skinnier then I had seemed to be last week.

  “Yeah I’ve been eating no I’ve not been drinking or other illegal stuff you should know me by now I wouldn’t do that.”

  “I guess you’re right and yes I did have feelings for you and I feel bad for cheating and saying I never cared about you, I guess I’m a really bad liar.”

  “And trust me don’t get better please I have enough liars in my life,” I stopped and looked towards the door.“I don’t need more.” I gave him a dead serious look “so when are they going to let me outta here? Do you know?”

  “No they told Parker for some reason but refused to tell me.”

  “Great. I can’t believe I have to ask him.” Cody looked really confused

  “Isn’t he like your best friend?”

  “He was but crap happened that I don’t know if I can tell you about.”

  “I don’t think I want to know.”He gave a little laugh.

  “I’m sorry for not getting your full story earlier.” I said that to him but then Parker came in.

  “They said you can leave now.” He said it in an abrupt way and then threw some clothes at me. Cody’s face turned from happy to angry as his eyes darted from me to Parker.

  “Really you had to throw the clothes on her and you couldn’t just wait till we were done talking now could you!” Cody yelled at Parker or atleast as loud as you could get in a hospital.

  “Uh let me think about that. Yes I did now Deanna go get changed or we’ll be charged for another night and I don’t think your insurance will cover that. Trust me not when you don’t need it anymore and they cost a load.” Cody’s face was turning red from anger

  “No just admit it you don’t care about the cost you just didn’t like the fact that what you heard snooping around the door was me and her getting along, or the fact that if we had, had just a few minutes more wed probably be going back out again.” Parker gave a chuckle at the way Cody was furious at him then he just waved it away and shrugged.

  “Ha why would I care about that if you want her you can have her?” Cody had the last straw and to show how cunning and charming he was just to show off he kissed me but that only got him a huge smack across the face by me.

  “What do you think you’re doing?” I shrieked Parker was laughing and Cody was red from embarrassment.

  “Oh uh ha I, I” he stuttered to find the words that he never did find.

  “Well then could you both please step out to the hallway for a minute these robes are highlyunflattering and show skin I don’t want seen.” They both had smiles on their faces now as I shooed them out. I got changed into the clothes Parker had given me which seemed to be a blue and black plaid shirt and a pair of blue skinny jeans. I walked out of the room with several flowers and stuffed animals in my hands. Facing both Cody and Parker who were leaning against the walls “you would think I was going to die.” I said simply wincing when I realized I could have if Parkerhadn’t have saved my life by coming and if Cody wouldn’t have found me I felt bad for hitting Cody and I looked down at the floor “does anyone want to go out for pizza at Ci-Ci’s” I asked realizing my stomach was gargling.

  “Sure” they both answered when we went and ate most of the time I seemed to start the conversation most of the rest of the time Cody and Parker spent glaring at each other while I sat and ate my spinach pizza

  “Well I’m finished.” Parker scooted his chair out

  “Do you mind giving me a ride home” I asked trying to keep Cody oblivious

  “Wait I though you said you weren’t friends any more” crap I hoped he forgot about that little detail guess he didn’t, I looked up at Parker he instantly shook his head knowing I wanted to tell him but I didn’t care. I told Cody everything I knew about what I was and what Parker was

  “You’re lying no you can’t be” he sat down he looked angry and hurt.

 

  “Wow why do you seem like you’re taking this so personally?”

  I asked almost laughing and crying I felt bad for making him feel like this but there was really no reason for him to be almost crying.

  “Well I never told you this nor anyone else I have a past in this sort of stuff and things like well you. Your kind had killed my parents I’ve hunted them or things like you since.” He looked disgusted like he wanted to punch me and Parker both before he threw down his chair and ran out I felt like I was going to cry why did I have to tell him why couldn’t I have listened to Parker and not told him. I ran out to Parkers car slammed the door buckled my seat belt and waited for Parker who looked like he was going to say I told you so

  “don’t you dare” I about shouted before he could say anything he put his hands up in mock surrender and I started to cry he was my closest friends now he hated me I’ve lost too many friends because of what I am. I’m not losing anymore. “I’m on your side now.” I said “I don’t care anymore what’s fighting a battle you don’t want to fight worth especially if it means fighting friends.” I’m sure I looked pure crazed I didn’t care but the look from him made me stop and think about what I was saying. But I was sure I was right

  “Are you sure there are things you have to do that might haunt you for your unnaturally long life by the way the answer to the question you asked ‘bout what I was before we got to the coven I am an immortal fallen angel.”

  “Ha-ha where are your wings then” he laughed.

  “Of course you go straight to the wings.” He shook his head and shrugged “I’ll show you when we get back to the coven, and are you sure you want to be the dark warrior?” he still seemed shocked at my decision.

  “Absolutely.” I always seem either over dramatic or way to calm about things when I shouldn’t be

  “Yeah you are.” He said just like he was answering my mental babble in my head “I was.”

  “Ok stop doing that.” I looked up at him “what can you read my mind?” he shook his head up and down.

  “You’re just now catching on, that’s sad.” He turned back around and watched the road “blonde.”

  “Shut up.” We finished driving the rest of the way my mood was pretty awesome parker and I had gone back to being best friends when we got out I asked him what had been on my mind almost the whole way “are you ever going to treat me like you did before and don’t lie trust me you’ll regret it.”

  “I don’t know my mood changes I act different to different people I didn’t mean to be like that but if you weren’t on my side I wasn’t on yours.” He shrugged like it was nothing which bothered me because I was scared I never wanted to be treated like that again

  “Promise me you’ll never treat me like that again. Ever.” I held out my arm “do you promise”

  “I can’t because I can’t be sure I never will it’s not in my nature.” I pulled back in my arm

  “Fine but are you at least going to say sorry.” He smirked at me

  “Yeah I’m sorry.”

  “Ok now you promised you’d show me your wings” he took off his plaid jacket which let his glossy black wings unfurl. “wow.” My jaw dropped they looked so wonderfully stunning.

  “You are so easily amused which will make it easier to tell you what we have to do now and you’re absolutely going to hate it but you have to do it.” It seemed that feeling somethin
g wasn’t right in my gut was true but I knew I was going to listen and do what he said

  “What is it?” I reluctantly asked.

  “Well we gotta um ha-ha uh exterminate Cody he knows too much and if he’s been killing our kind he can’t be left around especially considering you’re still weak and he could come after you anytime.”

  “No you can’t be serious.” I was shaking my head hysterically then I looked up knowing he was right I bowed my head “what do I have to do?”

  “Well we have to go to his house and get the business done and leave before were caught and since he lives by himself it’sso much easier then anticipated.” We left the coven again and headed to his house Parker gave me a knife to hide in my boots then he went and hid up in a tree next to his house when I asked to come in he didn’t hesitate to let me in. went in sat in his room on the bed we talked for a little bit before I saw Parker still sitting in the tree looking annoyed

  “I’m sorry Cody but trust me this is harder for me then it is you.” I went and locked his window and his door so Parker couldn’t get in. I pulled out the knife Cody didn’t look surprised at all I backed him up to the wall, Where he
