feathers as it fell with a wet thud. I turned my attention to Ace looking sadly at him he was trying to look fierce but I could see and hear his heart pounding out of his chest. Landing in front of him I folded my second pair of wings tightly against my back then the first pair.

Ace’s eyes widened when he looked at me and his leg twitched wanting to retreat. Why wouldn’t he be scared I am a monster after all? I stretched my hand out to help heal him but I was swatted away angrily. Getting the hint I turned away ruffling my feathers as I rained in my power till I returned to my two wing form. I started walking away needing time to place the pithos back on its marble pedestal.

“Were going back come on Alister…Ace?”

Alister barked and glowed black as he reverted to his chain form. Ace never answered me so I ignored him closing my eyes and forcing the seal closed. When I opened my eyes the next time he was in front of me fully clothed holding the skull charm. I jerked my wrist away from him before he opened it again and called more demons to me.

“What was that?” He said.

“None of your business.” I snapped.

I felt strange and then I started falling back as my vision tunneled the last thing I saw was Ace reaching for me. Over did it after I died great job genius.
chapter nine- Ace

I pulled her arm so she fell into me and not on the rough cement behind her. She slumped against my chest lifelessly as her face became hidden behind her black hair. I frowned at her, what was I suppose to do with an unconscious girl in a school full of street boys? I knew there was no way I could leave her alone in this school and feel ok about it. Groaning I lifted her bloody body so she was cradled against me and started to walk off. My body was frozen midstride by the realization something was going on I panicked looking down at Pandora’s bracelet to make sure it was closed; it was something else was going on. The school was painted blue and white reminding me of Pandora’s red and black version but this was darker feeling. I could see a figure standing at the end of the hall way just staring at me.

“Ace my boy, do me a favor?” He said.

I glared trying to step back without success. The cloaked figure‘s silver eyes looked down and he nodded I was able to move then and I ran wanting no part of this fucked up shit and because well I had a passed out girl in my arms. I turned down the hall towards the exit and ran smack dab into Zeke. I opened my mouth to ask for help but realized he was frozen like all the others. Damn alone again. I turned to run around him but then Pandora was being taken from my arms. It was strange but I felt protective of her when she was vulnerable like this. I turned with her body and slugged the guy in the face as he continued to take her from me.

“I see, maybe you could tame her.” Was all he said to me.

He pulled Pandora the rest of the way out of my arms whispering something in her ear. At first I thought she was awake but then she started to glow her head and arms flopping out as her body floated and glowed. Like in the other place where she looked like a demon she became naked, but it was different last time she had horns, claws and wings this time she merrily looked like a beautiful girl. She floated so it looked like she was standing and just hung there with her long flowing red hair slowly waving around her face and breasts. The man started to reach out for her throat and I kicked him.

“Don’t touch her.” I snarled.

He disappeared from in front of me and tapped my shoulder. Turning I prepared to punch him but I found my body frozen in place again. His blue cloak billowed with sudden ominous power.

“Let her figure it out this is a secret.” He chuckled.

And then my wrist felt like it was on fire I glanced down to see his hand retract as fast as it had grabbed me. I screamed from the scorching on my wrist as the skin bubbled from unexplained heat. Black lines blurred around the bubbles and blood seeped from bursting skin. Out of instinct I looked up to Pandora to see him reaching for her neck again. I couldn’t move or form the words to stop him all I could to do was scream louder. It was almost like she heard me and wanted to ease the pain when her eyes fluttered open her head snapped up and she locked eyes with me for a second. They were a lushes deep sea blue that pulled me into their deeps away from the pain.

“NO!” She screamed.

The man pulled away and the school returned to normal. Pandora was right back in my arms and we were back at the English class room. I blinked. What the hell?

chapter ten- Pandora

I didn’t know where I was but I knew it wasn’t home or at school. The pillow under me was too soft and the blanket too warm plus music I didn’t remember played as I tried to wake up. Groaning I stretched trying to move despite the pain from my true from.

“She’s alive.”

I opened my eyes glancing up to find a half naked Ace watching me. I closed my eyes and groaned again.

“What can’t handle me in just boxers? Too bad my house my room I’ll ware what I want.” He said sounding annoyed for no reason.

I’m in his room? Dear god. Pushing up off the bed I wobbled and flopped down on my butt. I felt chilled and looked down to see I was covered in bandages and a pair of boxers. Basically I was naked and unlike when we were in danger in the seal I cared. Squeaking I pulled the covers around me to hide myself.

“You undressed me!” I shouted feeling defiled.

“Come on I’ve seen you naked before. Besides my sister threw me out so no I didn’t touch you ok.” Now he sounded edgy.

Something was up with him. I glared unable to resist the urge to check him out. Yeah I don’t date or get close to anyone but hell he’s hot and I’m a girl cut me some slack people. I looked over his boxer area as fast as I could and then back up. He had a few scratches on his abs a clear tan starting on his arms from where he wore a tee shirt in the sun to long. He still had on a smirk when I finally looked at his scratched face.

“See anything you like?”

Yes.”No pig.” You’re hot.

He frowned grunting as he flung something red at me sling shot style. Catching it I blushed madly it was my red lace panties. I crushed them in my hands and sat on them like if I hid them he wouldn’t notice they were lace. Which was completely dumb and since when did I act like this? Being embarrassed and allowing him to take me home was not what I did solitude and badass attitude was more my style. Something tugged at the back of my memory and I fought the urge to scream as the corner of my lips twitched.

“Can I shower?” I asked suddenly.

Ace blinked caught off guard for a second then slowly he pointed to a door next to him covered in skateboard posters.

“That’s my bathroom. Your kind of a secret so if-“

“Locked away in your room got it.” I said rushing past him.

chapter eleven- Ace

I watched her run past me and slam the door behind her the way her ass moved in my boxers was a complete turn on. Whoa Ace come on she’s hot but she’s a demon you don’t wana go there…I think. I groaned falling down on my bed as I fought the thoughts about Pandora in the shower. Lifting my arm in the air I glared at the bandages staring through them to the tattoo on my wrist.

“This is your god damn fault.” I snarled.

Since I got that thing I had wanted Pandora more and noticed things like her sent, her deep ocean colored eyes, how the light or shadows play over her skin. I ground my teeth stopping the thoughts about her as my stomach growled. Leaping off the bed I lumbered to the door and paused. Maybe she’ll be hungry; I’ll ask what she wants. I turned to the door ready to knock when I heard crying my hand fell to my side numb and my forehead hit the door. The sound of her crying scared me and made my chest ach. Because somewhere deep down where I was being cut the most by that sound I knew I was the reason behind it.

“No.” I whispered harshly to myself.

I turned forgetting to ask her if she was hungry and thundered down the stairs. Why am I all
