jenson's panicked blue eyes looked at me for answers, but i just sat there motionless. "ok.." he finally said, "what i want you to do is go into the forrest behind us. hide there. just inside is a large oak tree. i'll get there in a couple minutes. wait there ok? now go."

  i left the sunset painted shore into the dark forrest. the oak tree was about 25 feet from the entrance, but i wanted to know what was going on, so i hid in a bush and sat in view of the shore. jenson stood up, looking frantically everywhere except for the bush--knowing i was probably there. then a boy, not boy, more like a teenager, just as tall as jenson's 5'7" with the same beautiful features but his hair was a blinding bleach blonde. he walked over to jenson to about three feet away from him. they stood there for several minutes, staring, until the blonde spoke, "jenson."

   "demetrius." he replied, tense and defensive.

   he smiled, not an angelic smile, more of a dark and sinister smile. "i hear you've fallen in love with your victim." his voice was obviously mocking. "he's not happy with this i hope you know."

   "what's he going to do to me? there's nothing more horrible then spending an eternity in hell." jenson replied, his eyes cold as ice and his voice harsh.

   "do not say such things. the devil will come here himself when he hears such things you've said. anyways, as you know our arrangement, if you can't kill the girl, the next one in line, preferrably me, will have to. and you know how much fun i'll have." the smile returned again. a chill ran down my spine.

   "you will not lay a finger on her, do you hear me? or you'll have to deal with me." the same tone was there, and i felt safe.

   "i bet i coudl take you anyday."

   "there's a reason why i'm higher than you."

   "welll....no matter how strong we both are, she will end up dead, whether you like it or not. and if you dont do it, you will have to live the eternity of suffering. how do you feel about that?"

   "as long as i'm with her, i have my heaven." his voice was meek and sweet, and i smiled.

    demetrius laughed. "how could you fall in love with that? she's just human." i frowned.

    "well..thats one thing of how we're both completely different. you dont know what love is. and i feel sorry for you. love gets you free. hate makes you suffer." 

   he grimaced. "she still dies."

   "i enjoy a challenge," was all jenson replied to. then demetrius was gone and jenson was by my side in the bush in an instant. he stared at me longlingly for who knows how much time and kissed my cheek. "i love you," he said. and moved his lips to brush slightly againgst mine. he was so perfect, this had to be a dream. i wrapped my arms around his neck and he held me like that, in the bush, for an inmeasruable time. it was at twilight when he sighed. "you know...i do feel like superman because you have to be my kryptonite. i've taken 99 souls before you, not caring about what life they've left behind. but you, you're different. you have this innocence about you. how is that?"

  "i'm just as clueless as you are. superman? you mean you go into closets and change into spandex?" i asked in a smile.

   he chucked. "only on thursdays. now, i need to get you home." in a flash, we were in front of my house, but instead of him letting me go into the front door, he guided me towards the gate to the backyard. "do you mind if we sit out for a little longer? i bet you have plenty of questions to ask me."

   i smiled. "you have no idea." we laid out there and watched the stars as he pointed out what every star was. "what's it like to immortal?" i asked, tilting my head towards his, just to see his face glowing from the moonlight.

   "actually," he murmured. "i'm not. i was created by God aroudnt eh time of Ancient Egypt. It's been..amazing to see the society to develop from pioneering to iphones and such. i never really paid attention after i was sent to hell, but now that i'm with you, this human stuff is hard,"  he turned and smiled a breathtaking smile.

   "are you going to continue living or what happens?"

   his smile faded. "well.." he began, "if i dont kill you, i will be burned. the only way to kill an angel thing--or whatever i am--is to burn them. if anyone has mercy upon me, i live as long as i want. "

   "can...humans become angels?" i asked him, not wanting that to slip out.

   "no." he replied. "but they do go to heaven and mingle with angels, so i guess when you die, you'll see me there if everything works out. although i'd bet they'd make exceptions...are those all of your questions for tonight?"

   i looked at him like he was crazy. "thats only the beginning."

   he laughed quietly. "well...i'll answer as many as you want. now, i need to get you to bed so you can go to school tomorrow." he picked me up, opened my window, and steped in so quickly it was as fast as blinking. and he sang me a lullybye so beautiful i dreamed of pleasant things only to find him in the morning.

tell me what you think!!!
