Pearl white and pure. So bright their appearance is blinding to the naked eye. They bored down from heaven...the stairs. The sound of angels accompany the grand flight. Their wings almost as pure as the hard marbled stone. The stairs for where man enter heaven. Stairs that leaded to god and his guardians, that lead...to your guardians. The wicked do not dare step upon the stairs. A mighty climb for the good and noble. For being good is much harder than being bad. And yet you still question why it's a stairway to heaven...and a highway to hell.

*

We all know with great power comes great responsibility. The old saying is the same, never has changed, it's the oldest line in the book of a hero. But we forget to factor that with great power also comes...great evil. And with evil comes a war and with war comes people with a great calvary, an army. The army then brings great leaders, some rose to the challenge while other's fall. So the old saying shouldn't be "with great power comes great responsibility". No it should be "with great power brings war to your door."

"My Brothers" Michael speaks with remembrance. With passion. His eyes snapping back to the massive burning hole that split the sky in two. Our eyes snapped back and we saw four black figures. Then, as if rolling out a carpet, the hole bore stairs. Stairs that were pure and held the same blinding light. It was god's hand...the passage way to heaven. The figures descended, walking down the steps as they shined like the stars. Dressed in garments of white they walked with elegance and power. Not all at once and not all in line, two were ahead as two fell behind. Standing in a formation that was almost like a portrait. They spread their wings, stretching them as if threatening us with their power. Attack, you die or stay back and you'll live. No one moved. Seeing this as a truce...they allowed their feet to touch the ground. Walking towards us as the stairway disappeared once the last one left. The hole vanishing as if it was never there. As if it never existed.

Ky tightened his arms around me. Feeling his body become tense as the four figures stood before us. All their bodies toned and beautiful...just like all the angels were thought as. Beautiful creatures sent down from heaven. They looked upon us with hard looks, their faces blank and emotionless. Until their eyes fell upon their brother.

"Michael!" The shortest one of them all spoke with excitement. His head a foot lower than the other's, giving the impression that he was the youngest of them all. He ran towards Michael like a child. His baby blue eyes and golden blonde hair shimmering in the light as he ran. Embracing Michael in a hug as he laughed. The boy had light fair skin and a tattoo of gold starting at his right collar bone as it made a interacting symbols and patterns to his shoulder all the way down to his right elbow. His wings were smaller than the rest but they were just as powerful, they were painted a light gold. Michael's arms wrapping around the young boy.

"It's good to see you too...Uriel." He spoke softly to him. A voice that was almost comforting and...broken. Reluctantly Michael pulled away from his youngest brother and looked up to the tallest of the four boys. The boy was like a building, tall and firm. He stood like a bolder for he was the most buff one of them all. He had long snow white hair that was pulled back into a low hanging pony tail. His skin was a chocolate brown, a white circle like tattoo on the left side of his chest, right above his heart. His wings were white as the tips of each feather was dyed black. He was rugged, almost scary looking as he almost began to grow a beard. He looked at Michael with his chocolate brown eyes as if he was waiting for an order.

"Zechariah..." Michael paused, the man flinching slightly as his brother grabbed his attention. "...how are things up there? How's father? How's our sister Ariel?" Michael spoke concerned.

"Father is not doing well, he hates that he brought this upon you Michael..." Zechariah paused, his deep voice dying out as he looked upon me and Ky. Regret filling his eyes as he spoke the next line. "...upon them..." he looked back at Michael. "As for our sister Ariel, she is getting ready for war."

"What? Why?"

"Because...you know how she is. Always want to be prepared, she knows that if we fail...that Hell will come to Heaven and she's planning to be ready before they get to our gates. She's training the Angels like nothing I've seen, she's even training them better than father. You should see her...she really is a real war leader. You taught her well Michael. Right now Heaven is still in control, but there's tension and people are beginning to worry."

"I'm sure Ariel can handle the people's worries. But we have a bigger problem right now. Where are your Saykos and Tsubasas, I told you we need all the help we can get. Zechariah-"

"They're on their way brother, they'll be hear before tomorrow afternoon. But...we have a problem with Raphael's Sayko...she-"

"I know, we'll discuss this later. Come, meet my Sayko and Tsubasa." Michael beckoned them, all their eyes falling upon me and Ky. "Brothers...this is my Sayko, Serena Havenmoon, and this..." he gestured to Ky. "...is her Tsubasa, Ky Severs." We gave them a quick smile before Michael gesture to each one of them. Making sure we knew all their names.

"This is Zechariah, he is the fourth oldest," he spoke gesturing to the man that was built like a building. Zechariah nodded his head in a quick greeting before he moved on to the two boys that looked like they were between Zechariah and Uriel's age.

"These are the twins, the second youngest, Raphael and Gabriel," he pointed to each boy separately as they both bowed before me. The twins both had fair skin like Uriel except it was a few shades darker. Raphael hard dark red hair that was almost the same shade of blood. His eyes were a vibrant gold as his wings were a dark auburn color, a tint of red lying within his feathers. His tattoo were lines just like Michael's except it was on the left side of his neck as it traveled down to the crook of his neck and onto his collar bone. Gabriel had navy blue hair and rich green eyes. His wings was the deepest shade of blue as hints of light blue played within his feathers. Gabriel's tattoo was the same as Raphael's except it was on the right side of his neck.

"And the last but not least. Uriel, the baby of the family."

"Hello Ms.Havenmoon, Mr.Severs and I'M NOT A BABY MICHAEL!" Uriel countered. Making me chuckle as Michael rubbed Uriel's head with his big hand.

"What ever you say squirt!" He teased.

"It's true," Uriel whined. "I'm only 100 years younger than the twins!" The twins, Zechariah, and Michael all laughed from their brothers flustered face. A scene that I couldn't help but smile at. They may be Angels, and they may be stuck up and demanding sometimes...but they still knew how to be a family. The laughter soon died out only to be replaced with goofy smiles. Uriel pouted in his place as he crossed his arms. His bottom lip sticking out as he gave them puppy eyes. Looking like an adorable little pup.

"Come, we have much to discuss," Michael spoke to us and his brothers. Leading us elsewhere as he told the rest of the pack to go back to training and not to worry about a thing.

*

We had told Zechariah, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel everything we knew. We know that Lucifer will attack in two weeks time, time is ticking and we don't have time to be messing around. We also know that he will be coming after me...so I have to be careful. Once we told them this they left to go check up on their Tsubasas and Saykos. Michael had a discussion with Raphael before he left. I wasn't listening but, from what I knew and what I could tell...I knew it was about Raphael's Sayko. I could see that Raphael was worried while Michael told him that everything was going to be alright and to not worry. After that Raphael left. We now stood in the middle of the field as there was no one in sight. I was facing Ky and he was facing me...only feet away as Michael stood in middle of the space but not in between us. I had a bad feeling in my stomach as I looked at Ky and I could tell he felt the same.

"Michael...what are we doing here?" Ky demanding softly but sternly.

Michael sighed, "knowing my brother...he'll probably use his powers to his advantage. Powers that...could make you see things that aren't what they really are."

"So...what are you saying?" Ky questioned.

"What I'm saying is...that Lucifer will use Dramin to make you think that the people you love most...are your worst enemy."

"D-Dramin? W-what's Dramin Michael?" I questioned softly, afraid of that word for it hid a dark secret behind it.

"Dramin is a spell that comes in the form of a blue fog. A toxin that blocks all your sense, natural or supernatural. It changes your perception. It disguises your best friend...as your enemy. Making you fight each other until one succeeds. For werewolves...it blocks your sense of smell, your super hearing, your ability to mind link, and the ability to shift at will."

"How do you we stop it? How do we not get effected?" Ky questioned.

"You can't stop it, you can't not get effected. Because once it's in the air, that's it. It effects everyone and everything in it's path. The only way to break the spell after it's casted...is to recognize your friends and foes. This is why we are here right now."

My heart dropped, "do you mean that..." my voice died off once Michael nodded. Seeing what he was going to do, I looked at my feet. We are here...to train for the inevitable. To see...if I can recognize Ky...or if...I-I kill him. Feeling Ky's worried gaze I looked up, only to see Michael break our eye contact. Ky's eyes looking at Michael as he spoke.

"I brought you two here...to put you under a simulation as to what the Dramin is like. It won't be the real thing since it will only effect you two and I can stop it at any time. The mission...is to recognize each other...before you kill the other." Mine and Ky's eyes widened. The thought that we might kill each other...was weighing heavy upon our shoulders. That's torture within itself, the thought, the chance, the thinking that...that we might kill each other on accident. Then kill ourselves for what we've done. The guilt and pain would be too unbearable to live on. We would rather die than live without our mate. Knowing that we were the ones that brought them pain. Knowing that we were the ones...that took them away from ourselves. How do you live through that, how do you live with that? That answer is...you don't, you can't. And that's why I'm scared. I'm afraid as to who will draw blood first. What if we don't recognize each other and I end up killing Ky. I would kill myself for killing him. And I know he would do the same. But...I trust Ky. I trust that he won't kill me. That he would see me...despite the mask...despite the spell. I trust that he will see...me.

"Are you insane?! No, what if, what if I kill her! What if-"

"If it gets to that, this time I can stop it. But in battle...with lucifer in control I can't stop it. This why we have to do this now, so you'll learn. So when we're out there fighting for our lives you won't kill one of your own. You won't kill her." Michael spoke sternly to Ky.

Ky...did not respond. Instead he looked down and contemplated. The look of argument plastered on his face as plain as day. He was fighting an internal war, to train now and have the possibility of killing me or don't and kill me for sure in battle. I sighed, looking at my mate who was tense with fear. He was afraid that he would break his promise. He was afraid...that he would hurt me. Being the strong Luna I knew I had to be I walked towards him. Motioning Michael to turn his back on us as I walked passed him. He did what I had asked.

"Ky." I spoke just inches away from him. He looked up but before he could process what I was doing I grabbed the back of his hair and pulled lightly, smashing my lips against his. I moved my lips against his as my hands ran threw his hair. It took him only a matter of seconds for him to respond. His lips molding with mine perfectly as his hands found my waist. I pulled his face closer to mine, biting his bottom lip as I tugged it lightly. He gasped and I took the opportunity to place my tongue into his mouth. There was no way I was going to let him have dominance. Not right now. I teased his tongue with mine, twirling it as I tasted his tanginess. But with the tang also came the sweetness. And a moan escaped my lips and into his mouth. A sound that made him shiver against me. Someone's excited. I smirked against his lips before I pulled away. My hands still in his hair as we both tried to catch our breathes. His forehead laying against mine. I smiled when I saw his cheeks were turning a shade of pink as his ears were almost red. I chuckled as he kept his eyes closed, his face flustered as hell.

"Ky," I spoke softly. His eyes finally opening to me as they fluttered. His eyes hazy as you could tell he was hot all over. His knees just about to buckle. "That intense Huh?" I chuckled. Seeing his cheeks turning brighter in seconds. Making me laugh more as my big and scary Alpha pouted. My laughter soon died off into seriousness.

"Ky, we have to do this. We have to train for this."

"But Serena-"

"I know, I'm scared too. I don't want to hurt you and I know you don't want to hurt me. What ever happens we'll forgive each other. Okay?"

He swallowed hard. His eyes almost drained as fear and worry took over. "What if I kill you?"

"You won't."

"But-" I cut him off with a long peck on the lips. Pulling away slightly as I spoke against his lips...

"I trust you Ky Severs."

He began to say something in protest but I stopped him with another kiss. Feeling him fall slightly into ease before I pulled away. "I love you."

"I love you too," he replied "more than anything." I nodded and then walked back to the spot where Michael told me to stand before.

"We're ready Michael. It's time to begin." I told him and he turned around. Giving me a look that said "are you sure?". I nodded in response.

"Very well then. Keep in mind that there will be decoys, apparitions that have no humans connected to them. You kill them, the game is not over, they will simply puff away. Demons that weren't ever there. But...if you kill each other...the game will end and if you recognize each other, you have succeeded. Close your eyes."

We did what we were told. Giving ourselves to the darkness as we slowly felt the world change around us. Neither of us daring to peek, daring to question, daring to see what was happening. We kept our eyes shut...as the sounds of Hell rang like a horn. The evil children laughing, screams, my name being called from unknown voices, curses, sounds that weren't even known to man or creature.

"Whatever you hear, whatever you see...don't be afraid." Michael advised as the noises slowly died out. The air became thick, but yet...clear at the same time. Silence surrounded me as you could fill moisture in the air. The dampness kissing my skin with it's cool lips. Where am I?

"Open your eyes." A voice whispered in my ear. My eyes fluttering open to find...that there was no one beside me. That I...was alone. My feet made the orange autumn leafs crack every time I moved. My head snapping up as I took in my surroundings. I...was in a forest. It was dim, almost dark, but it seemed like everything was being illuminated. A light fog just hovered above the ground, slight shadows of mist filling the air. The trees were tall and thin, they held no leafs for they were all under me. They were on the forest floor. In the distance you mostly see a dark blue but as your eye travels more to the ground...it seems to change into a vibrant orange. An effect that was beautiful but, strange in it's own way. Looking all around me...I decided to walk forward, but before I could take a step. I saw something moving in the trees. Freezing...I watched that area carefully. Soon finding three pairs of red eyes staring right back at me. They weren't afraid anymore, they were done hiding and they were ready to kill. They came out of the trees.

There was indeed three of them. And they stalked towards me like they were velociraptors. They had the bodies of humans, except their skin was grey and stone like. Their hands were more like claws as their feet and legs were like a gargoyles. Their ears were pointed as two massive horns sprouted out of their foreheads and bended in certain way above their head. Their eyes glowed blood red as they bare fangs. The female had long black hair that was a curly mess. While her two male companions had short black hair. One of the males growled at me while the other rolled his head to cracked his neck. The female challenging me head on.

I sighed, "you want this?" I spoke irritated. My wolf eyes burning threw my human ones as I threatened them. Their eyes blazing a devilish red as they answered my challenge. I growled, flicking my hands at my side as my nails grew into my sharp claws. Looks like I still have some of my abilities, I thought as I brought my hand up to look at my claws. I took a deep breath and looked at the demons once more.

"COME AND GET IT!"

They growled and then they attacked.

* Ky's P.O.V *

Punching the demon I heard the snap in its neck. Dying instantly as it vanished before me. Two dead, one to go. Suddenly I felt a weight upon my shoulders. It was the female. She wrapped her arm around my neck as she held me in a choke hold. Cutting off my air way as her grip on me tightened. I have to admit she was strong...but she was no where near my strength. My red eyes burned as my wolf howled within me. My hands grabbed her arm and broke her stone like grip. Throwing her over my head like she was nothing as I slammed her body into the ground. The sound of her ribs cracking echoed threw out the forest. She roared as if she was screaming, the white tears staining her cheeks. Disgusted I growled, kneeling down as my head hovered over her's. Her eyes filled with pain and hate. I smirked and with one swift moment, I slit her throat.

Her warm blood stained my hands. The redness tainting my skin as she died slowly before me. Her mouth gargling as her blood flowed out of her wound. Her eyes became white, drained from all color. She died with her eyes open and her lips parted. Her fangs there for all to see. I stood, beginning to walk away as I felt successful, as I felt safe. It was then I had rubbed my fingers of my left hand together. The blood was still there...

Quickly bringing my hand near my face...I saw that the blood was not fading. It-it should be fading, it should be gone by now! With terrified eyes I stopped and quickly turned my body. The female...was still there. Her body lying limp and cold against the forest floor. My heart began to pound quickly as it dropped threw the earth into the Hell of fear. I took a step forward...the crunching of leaves under my feet. My eyes watching the female cautiously. Her body still in sight.

No...no! It-it can't be! I...I didn't...I-

My thinking was stopped as I saw the females body beginning to fade away. Her body evaporating into the air as the blood did the same. I sighed with relief, falling to my knees from my mini heart attack. My hands clutching the leaves from under me. What's real...and what's not.

"That wasn't funny Michael." I whispered to myself.

"Well be more careful."

My eyes widened as I shot up from the ground. My eyes searching my surroundings frantically. Who said that? "Who's there? Who are you?"

"It's me you idiot!" Michael said irritated.

"I thought we couldn't use mind link."

"You can't this is the one time I'm interfering. After this you're on your own."

"Why? What do you need to tell me?"

"Remember you are here to find Serena! To recognize her! Not to go dog on these demons!"

"I'm not going dog!"

"Yes you are! You killed that female without hesitation! You didn't even confirm if it was Serena or not! That could of been her! That could have been Serena!"

"I..." I didn't know what to say. Michael was right, what if that was Serena? What if I had killed her without giving her the chance to be recognized? Why am I so stupid. "I'm sorry Michael...please forgive me..." I spoke. Hanging my head low in stupidity and shame.

He sighed and I felt a feeling...as if...he was placing his hand upon my shoulder. "It's alright Ky. I'm not mad at you. I understand, once adrenaline kicks in...it's either fight or flight mode. It clouds your judgment and your thinking. This is why we are training now. So you know when to be careful, so you can go into your better judgment...even in the sign of danger. I believe in you Ky Severs and so does Serena. Don't let me down...don't let her down."

"I won't, I won't let either of you down."

"Good...now go find her." He spoke as if he was smiling. His hand giving me a little push as it made me walk forward. I stumbled a bit, but once I regained my footing I turned around to look behind me. There was no one. What is real...and what is not?

"Thank you...Michael...thank you for giving my Serena."

"Your welcome."

And with that, I continued to venture into the woods.
