CHAPTER 4

As I stood there with a long sword in my hand I felt a person getting closer to me. Turning around to see who it is I was greeted with a smile from the most beautiful girl. Jenny got close to me and I was overwhelmed with remembering what has just happened.

"Hi. We haven't introduced one to another. I'm Jenny, short for Jennifer." She stood within hands reach in white shirt and black skirt, we are allowed to wear casual clothes to the school. The skirt fell over her knees.

She looks perfect, like always.

Jenny is year younger. We are going in same school and my classroom is right above hers. Her hair is light brown and she is only a bit shorter than me. I love when her hair is wavy. Her voice is soft and her smile... when she smiles everyone falls in love with her, high cheeks with bit of freckles that are making her even more cute. Her eyes are brown and they are always shining. For me, she is the most beautiful girl on entire world. No matter how much I wanted to talk to her I was always afraid of her reaction. Now I have to speak with her no matter what. This is not kind of conversation I wanted to have with her.

"Hi Jenny." I made long pause not knowing what to say. I could feel her expectant gaze on me, it doesn't help in any way.

"Do you have any questions? I'm sure you do. Ask whatever you are interested and I'll try to answer." She walked to the bench on which she was sitting before the incident. As she sat, she crossed her legs and planted her hands on her knees.

" There are too many questions. I don't know where to start asking." I looked at her hoping she will start explaining things alone.

"Seems like I have to make a first step. What you are and what I am is the same. We have blood of angels flowing through our veins. Because of that, we don't have a name for ourselves, but we have companions that are named Laer. They are incarnation of our angelic blood. There are also those with the blood of devils, they are called Dostos." She explained things that are too ridiculous to believe in. But, even so, I listened to her. " Because of that, we can see things other humans can't see."

"That is a really good story but I don't believe in that." I crossed my arms. I don't like this. Why does it have to be this way? Why can't I believe her. It's as if I'm being stopped, as if something is pulling me away from it.

"Why don't you believe me?" She slammed her hands on the bench. Startled, I looked at her waving her hands to decrease the pain.

"I don't want to believe it. All I want is not to see those creatures from nightmares, to be what's called normal."

"You are an idiot. You don't see good things of being half angel." Jenny yelled at me. Her face started to get red from anger. I never imagined her having such short temper.

" How could I see good things if all that I saw before was destruction and despair? How if everything that came from it is bad?" I will never forget the sight of those yellow eyes, those black teeth and the blood of friend splattered on the ground before me. "Nothing good comes from being what I am."

"Try to find name of your Laer. If you find her or his name then things will start becoming better. Here is a tip, the name is written on your sword." What a stubborn girl.

"How can I return the sword where it was before?" The sword is beautiful with all it's swirls. The feel of those lines is magnificent, the metallic touch while being soft. Black polished metal looks amazing, the shine of it seems like mesmerising. There wasn't a sword as beautiful as that one, not in games or movies.

After praising it a lot just for myself I noticed pattern that looked like stylish letters. "Ilela?"

Upon reading out loud, my right side of body became numbed, I lost strength in my arm first which made me drop the sword. The clanking of metal became unbearable, the sounds became louder, heart beats echoed and my sight became blurry. Following all that, my right leg lost its strength and I collapsed. My left side was overcome with shivers and right side of body felt like being poked with thousands of needles. I could still hear clanking of sword, every time it hit the floor a burst of heat would fill my body.

Like I said, nothing good comes from being what I am.

"I'm sorry Sam, please hold a little bit more and everything will be fine." A soothing voice replaced sound of metal. As feeling started coming back to my body I could feel a body hugging me tightly. It wasn't hard to guess that it was a girl. She had smell of roses and her soft skin left a burning sensation where it touched me. Then she started kissing me.

That fixed me up, my mind collected itself and the pain disappeared as I jumped back. Actually, I pushed myself back.

What else was I supposed to do. I got kissed by a girl without even knowing her name.

"Of course you do know my name. I'm Ilela."
