Chapter Four

Luce brought out the rebel in me. He was my bliss. With him, I tested my limits, to be honest with him, I had none. Lately, Lucifer, usually a very easy going angel had a dark mood, he would angrily lash out on his brothers and sisters. Acting out of his angelic nature. He seemed to be displaying human emotions. He was definitely spending too much time with humans. He was losing himself. During one of our sparring lessons, he was far from the angel that I knew. He was fighting dirty using his powers which caught me off guard. Luci pinned me to the floor when it looked like he was going punch me, he just stopped dropped to his knees and straddled me and stared at me. His eyes refused to leave mine. His ocean blue eyes swarmed with rage and with a look that I couldn't place. His long blond hair a mess over his face.“Luce, what are you doing? What’s wrong brother?’ His wings whipped open, and I saw the first stain on his once beautiful white wings. His base wings had turned black. He flew up and off of me. Lucifer turned his back to me and spoke in a threatening low voice. ’Jassmyine I am not your brother!’ Raising his voice you could hear the rage, despair, and sadness. ‘He allows those damn humans to have it all! But He denies me the only thing I have ever asked of him. Am I not good enough??’ His hand went to touch my face stroking it with a gentleness I didn’t know he had for the amount of rage he was displaying. I used his distraction against him and quickly threw him off me. Lucifer got to his feet looked around, he looked in my direction but not at me. Michael had entered the sparring room and just shook his head at Lucifer. Had he seen what transpired between us? I stepped towards Lucifer chin held high and allowed my power flowing through me. I used it to pluck a single feather from Lucifer’s wings. Turning his feather into an arrow, my bow appearing in my hand. (My weapon of choice.) I took aim and shot my beloved angel through his shoulder, pinning him in place I whispered to him ‘who are you to question Him?’ Michael looked at me than Lucifer. His nostrils flared. Michael held his hand out to me. I ignored him and changed from my sparring clothes to my formal robes and blinked to my twin. I needed air.
