For some unknown reasons, I started to feel pity towards Damien, an unbearable pain of losing your loved one; I don't wish anyone to go through it not even my enemies. I felt what it's like to be alone, abandoned, emotionally harmed and left behind, like a shadow, everyone notice it but never pay attention to it. I gently tapped his shoulder to catch his attention but he didn't respond, for a second he reminded me of myself once I lost my parents that day; I sighted and knelt down to him as I gently pull him into my embrace, swaddling my wings around him. His eyes went open as he rise his head up. "Blake?!" He shouted happily and full of hope, but it readily disappeared when he saw my gaze again. "Oh…it's just you…" He added as he turned his glimpse away from me; I just a felt a huge portion of disappointment dashing within my figure to the core; as we both stood up, Damien, on the spur of the moment, dragged me into a tight cuddle, then I slowly returned his hug. After a pretty while he let go of me.
-"My lady, from now on, we are you loyal servants, order me anything you want and punish if I disobey." He said as he knelt down on his knees to me. "D-Damien…" Antony said hesitantly then Damien said: "Antony, she is an angel, she is above us. We must be obedient to her." As soon as he finished his speech, Antony knelt down too; no! I don't feel any comfortable to this…I don't want to make them slaves of mine!
-"Antony, Damien…please stands… I really don't want this; I don't want you two to be my servants!" and then they stood up as carried on with my speech.
-"As I said, I don't want to make you two my slaves, it's totally not like what an angel would do, whatever grudges or hatred you hold against angels, I don't want that to be a wall between us alright? We are equal, I don't want you to be some slaves in my grip, no, I want to be as close as possible to you, and I want to make you my friends." Antony just smiled brightly as for Damien just a nod and small smile, he dared not to look or to make an eye contact with me. "Is there anything I can do for you now?"Damien asked; unfortunately it seems like he didn't take my words seriously or he made up his mind, I just sighted and shake my head declining.
-"No…there's nothing for now, just go…" I replied as he bowed and left the room, as for Antony he stayed in with me.
-"Well, now you got to see both of his sides, once he made up his mind, it's hard to change it. It's actually quite amazing! You're the best angel friend I've ever seen!"
-"Thank you so much Antony, anyway, are you hungry?"
-"Actually yes, I'm starving."
-"If so I'll head off to prepare lunch." I said with a bright smile, as I switch back to my normal self, the shy and average girl.
-"You know, you look so much gorgeous as an angel, but still I prefer this little human Ann!" He exclaimed happily.
I couldn't help smiling cheerfully as I slightly blush, and then I went to the kitchen. An awful tranquility devoured the aura, the only thing can be heard is the boiling oil I use for cooking, Antony was in the living room, Damien in his room I assume, still the white haired guy never surfaced again... Is he a friend of Damien? A relative? A servant? Whatever he is to Damien he might be a close one, to be able to imprison me and to roam around his house freely…for sure he's so close to him. Now I'm starting to wonder, what is Damien's past? Is it just a matter of personality that he's twisted and moody? Or some incident caused him his sudden swings? Shrugging my thoughts away, I just focused on the food I was cooking, and then served it in plates. After lunch I went to Antony, I just wanted to make sure that his confession was true and not just to protect me.
-"Hey…Antony, I have a question for you."
-"Oh, go ahead Ann."
-"Tell me…What you said earlier in my room, was it true or you were trying to protect me from Damien?"
He remained quietness for a moment, looking away as his cheeks slowly turned red. "Yes…It was true, I do really like you Ann, you're so…pure and special, and your character is so interesting I couldn't help it. Anyway…I'll let you go now, you must be tired. We'll talk later alright." He said before gently kissing my cheek. I then went to my room as I lied down my body on the bed, staring at the ceiling until time comes for dinner, I just can't wait until I start a new day.
Days and weeks passed by, and still Damien didn't change his mind. He refuses to let me in, whenever I try to get closer he'd just draw me away, it's like he's giving me the cold shoulder instead of being obedient to me, it's really saddening …All my efforts are going in vain. Thanks to Antony, the loveliest man I've ever met in my life, he's always there whenever I need him. He's like a brother of mine, a best friend, my shoulder to cry on and the most important yet embarrassing at some point….I think started to fall for him myself, whenever I think about him my heart begin to race as my face boils.
Once, I just went up to my room after completing my work and started to check my new side of angel, then unexpectedly, someone got in without knocking, it's him! He finally showed up, that white haired guy, he's actually got a very pale skin, as tall as Damien, black eye-balls with bright golden irises. Why did he choose such timing…? He tries to ambush me while the others aren't aware? Whatever he is up to, it's for sure to harm me…
