Chapter 1
I opened the door to the classroom and walked over to the teacher’s desk and gave him my transfer slip. I could feel the rest of the classes’ eyes on my back. I was wearing dark ripped jeans, a black leather jacket, and combat boots. I wore my fiery red curls long to the middle of my back. My eyes were a bright gray-blue, against pale skin and thick lashes. I looked very different from any other girl in the school, probably the whole state of Montana, I though wryly.
The teacher looked up at me with beady eyes, “Nakoda? I see you went to a military school? You must be. . . very disciplined” he said slowly. My bored expression changed to one of amusement. “Yes, that must be why they kicked me out” I said. I had been kidding of course. It wasn’t even really a military school. It was a school for half demons like myself. I had to leave though because the angels had found my location. The class erupted in chuckles and pink spots appeared on the teacher’s cheeks. Glaring, he pointed to a seat next to a boy in the back row. “Please take your seat Miss Black” he said stiffly.
Holding back a chuckle I headed to my seat. When I got to my seat I looked at the boy sitting next to it, and froze. His hair was a tossed, golden, color. And his cheek bones sharp and defined. And then his eyes turned towards her. They were and un- natural golden color surrounded by thick lashes that you wouldn’t expect on a boy.
He looked like . . . . An Angel. And with me being THE DEVIL’S daughter, that was not a very good thing. “Aren’t you going to sit?” he asked, half amused, breaking me from my trance. “Yes” I said tersely and dropped my bag to the floor and sat on the stool. No one else seemed to have noticed my pause but the boy, and it amused him. I clenched my fists under the table. “I’m Will” he said his eyes boring into me. I studiously ignored him and pretended to be watching the teacher.
I kept glaring at the clock wishing it would move faster. Absentmindedly I messed with my pendulum. The chain was cold on my skin. Then Will’s eyes zeroed in on it and I froze. “What’s that?” he asked, his eyes narrowing. I quickly tucked it back, “Nothing” I said. “Where did you get it?” he asked ignoring me. Before I could answer, the bell rang and I quickly grabbed my bag and hurried out of the classroom, feeling him close behind me.
‘Crap’ I thought. I wasn’t ready to fight an angel. Then he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a supply closet. I was already grabbing my pendulum and pictured it as a dagger, and it changed so I was holding a small dagger with a dark ruby on the hilt.
They faced each other in the dimness. “Are you one of us?” he asked eyeing the dagger, and then they widened. “You are. You’re a Nephilim like me right?” he asked. He was only half angel? He didn’t know. The only thing to do was lie. “Yes” I said lowering the dagger, my eyes widening. His eyes shined in the darkness “I’ve never met someone like me” he said. I had, I shivered. You think hell is bad? Heaven is just as bad, if not worse.
This was bad, every angel and demon was after me because sadly I wasn’t just any demon’s daughter. I was Lucifer him self’s daughter. But I didn’t really feel like being taken back to heaven or hell. To me neither was a very great place. I slid to the floor, “God I thought you were one of them” I said. “One of who?” he asked finding the light and then sliding down next to me. I stared at him dubiously, “A demon” I said keeping with the lie, a demon would be the least of my problems. His eyes widened, “So there are demons?” he said. “You didn’t know?” I asked in surprise. How could he not know? “No my dad taught me a few stuff but he left a while ago, my Uncle visits every now and then though” he said. “And he’s and angel?” I asked. “Yes, Gabriele” he said. My eyes widened. Oh that was soooo not good. Gabriele was a big shot angel, and a good warrior. I wasn’t sure I could survive a fight with him. “I don’t really trust angels either” I said truthfully.
“Oh, my uncle’s great” he said. “So your dad is Michael” I said hoping he’d say no. I’d met him of course. Barely escaped actually. “Yes” he said. “whose your dad?” he asked. I shrugged, “I don’t know” I lied. “Then how’d you find out so much?” he asked. “My mom” I answered. Thinking of her made me sad, I had run away because of everything that was after me, hoping to keep her safe. I knew she understood though. He must of seen the sadness in my eyes because he asked “Do you live with your mom?” “She died” I lied. “Oh, sorry” he said. I looked away.
“So, do you wana get out of here?” he asked getting up and holding out his hand. “Sure” I said taking his hand. We went quietly into the hallway and then slipped out one of the side doors, and headed for the woods behind the school. “And tell me everything” he said. “What do you know? Because I know like nothing” he said, “oh and you never did tell me your
Name” “Nakoda” I said and then started telling him some of what I knew, because we were in many ways the same, just from opposite sides and it was nice to finally talk to someone about it. Our friendship wouldn’t last but at least I could enjoy it for now. “So you have your pendulum right? Well there’s a bunch of things you can do with it. You can turn it into pretty much whatever shape you want” I said. He pulled his out. “Yea I know how to do that” he said. “And I’m sure you’ve noticed your extra strength and speed” I said, “but I bet you didn’t know we can fly” I said smirking. His mouth dropped open “really?” he asked.
CHAPTER 2
I smiled and when we got to a clearing in the wood and then jumped up in a tree. I climbed high up, and his eyes followed me, and then he screamed when I leapt out of the tree and into thin air. But I let out my huge dark wings and soared high and twisted. Then I went to float in front of Will.
His eyes were wide in awe. “You’re so beautiful” he said reaching out to feel one of my wings. “They’re so soft” he said. I landed my wings still out, “You can do it, just focus on them. Feel them behind you” I said. Will closed his eyes and after a moment they appeared there.
They were beautiful, a pristine white and a little bigger than mine. Now I was the one in awe. He seemed to emit a golden glow and his perfect features and bright eyes stared at her making her want to melt. He laughed and then jumped into the air flapping his wings. It took a couple of tries but soon both of them were high in the air. “It’s a good thing I’m not scared of heights” he said. I laughed, I was starting too really like Will which was very bad because if he knew what I was he would have no choice but to kill me or turn me over to heaven.
--------------------------------
Will met me in the parking lot the next day, at school. I had been alone so long I was happy that I’d found a friend in Will although I knew it could only end badly. Trouble seems to follow me wherever I go. But Will seemed to feel the same. He had been alone with his secret too, and didn’t have any answers.
“Hey, you wana go flying later? I’m not that great and I want to practice” he said. I smiled “Sure.” A girl started towards us. She had long brown hair, which she flicked over her shoulder and smiled widely at Will, ignoring me. She stepped in between us, “Hey Will, I’m having this party at my house tonight, and I was thinking you’d wanna go with me?” she asked smiling sensually and playing with the sleeve of his coat.
He carefully pulled his arm away, “Sorry, Jess, I kind of already have plans” he said, looking at me. I felt a sick sort of satisfaction at the look on her face as she turned to look at me with eyes like lasers, that probably would have turned any other girl to jelly. But I just smiled, “I’m Nakoda” I said. She gave me a putrid look, “Yeah, I know who you are. New girl right?” she said. I smiled again. She gave me one last evil glare and then turned to walk away. “I don’t think she likes me” I observed, wryly. Will ran a hand through his hair with a slightly confused expression. “Jess doesn’t like a lot of people. And even if I lived a billion years I don’t think I could ever understand girls” he said. I smiled, amused, and we headed for first period. The teacher glared at me when I entered. Apparently he hadn’t gotten over my joke.
Class was boring and I found myself spacing out for most of it. None of it was really that important when your life was in danger from pissed off angels and the chance of spending eternity in hell as the devil’s weapon.
I’d actually already been to hell and had no plans of ever returning. As you can imagine, its not a very pleasant place. I was trapped there for a year and I can honestly say it was the worst year of my life. My father planned to use me as a weapon against heaven, so he had to train me.
To teach me how to control Hell fire, he had a demon burn me with it until I stopped it. I still have the burns on my hands and back. A handprint on my shoulder blade.
And when I wouldn’t do what I was told he didn’t send me to my room, he sent me to the lake of fire, which doesn’t actually burn you but its worse because you can live there, forever, in agony. I am still haunted by the screams. Awesome parenting skills, don’t you think? Needless to say I kind of loathe the
