Chapter 21: The Emotions

*Time Skip to the Next Morning*

James' POV
I woke up and saw Raven asleep on my lap. 'She's looks different when she's sleeping..' I thought to myself, 'Raven looks so...calm..and happy...' Then I saw a shadow and looked up. "What the hell are you doing here..." I said to Sebastian. He did not look very happy. "I just wanted to be sure that Raven was alright.." He began. "You're jealous aren't you?" I smirked. Sebastian looked momentarily stunned and then glared at me. "Jealous of what?" He hissed. I said, smugly,"You're jealous that Raven obviously likes me more than you." Sebastian looked as if his heart was being torn out. He began to say something but then, Raven woke up. She yawned and said,"Good morning James.." Then she saw Sebastian and shot him a glare that was full of venom. "James, I'm going back inside." Raven got up and walked past Sebastian as if he wasn't there.  He began to follow her but then that girl from yesterday whose name I didn't know suddenly appeared.

She put her hand on his shoulder and he turned around, eyes flashing. The girl said quietly but firmly,"Let her go. Raven needs to calm down." Sebastian glared at her and grabbed her hand. "Don't tell me what to do, angel." He spat. 'The girl is an angel? That makes sense..' I thought, looking at her wings. "Hey, leave her alone. She probably knows Raven better than you do!" I said, knowing this would tick off Sebastian. He lunged at me but the angel grabbed his arm. "Stop it! You don't want Raven to be more mad at you, do you?" He growled and said,"Whatever..I'm going to wake up the young master." He then left the garden and the angel looked at me with a smile. "Hello, James. I've heard about you." "Um...you have? Who are you?" I said, a bit nervous. She laughed, then said,"Oh, pardon me..I'm Arabella, Annabel's angel." "That's a lovely name." I grinned. "You and Sebastian both love Raven deeply. That's quite odd.." I was confused. "Why is it odd?" She sat down on the bench and looked at me. "Demons are not supposed to feel love or any other human emotions.." Arabella said quietly. "They're not?!" I shouted. She nodded. "I suppose there are a few different demons scattered throughout the demon world." I nodded, then asked,"Can angels have human emotions?" She thought for a moment. "Not necessarily. You see, there are certain emotions that we can't feel." I wondered,'What kinds of emotions can't they feel?' Arabella seemed to have read my mind and said,"We can't feel sinful human emotions. An example is jealousy." I nodded and said,"I should probably go back to the manor." She gave me a small smile and said,"You should. Can you give a message to Annabel for me?" I asked,"Can't you go inside the manor?" She shook her head and said a bit angrily,"I probably shouldn't be around that demon.." I agreed with her and said,"Alright, what is your message for Annabel?" She smiled and said,"Come see me soon. I have a surprise for her."
