think we’re moving too fast. I mean, I hardly know you.”
“ You know me more than you realise,” he told her, leaning in to kiss her, but she placed a finger on his lips.
“ No. Stop,” she told him, sitting up. “How do I know you? Stop using your angel magic against me.”
“ I’m not. I swear,” he chuckled.
She raised her eyebrow . “You didn’t answer my question.”
Dyston sighed and sat up , too. “You know me, because I’ve been watching you every day since I received my assignment.”
“ So, what? You’re like my guardian angel stalker or something?”
“ Something like that,” he told her, grinning. She moved closer.
“ Why are your wings black? I thought an angel’s wings only turned black when they did something really unforgivable. What did you do?” she asked.
His words came as a whisper. “Kept you a secret.”
Lakyn stood on the platform that looked over the production line where his employees were hard at work, packing boxes like robots.
“Are they packing the new formula?” asked David, coming up behind him. David was his Head of Production.
“ Yes, the first shipment goes out tomorrow. Want to see the results?” Lakyn asked. He led David into his office at the back of the platform and switched on a monitor.
“ These are our test subjects. Ordinary, working-class Nephilim who thought they were participating in ‘ordinary’ Market Research. This is anything but,” Lakyn said with a smirk.
“ What’s he doing?” asked David, looking at a man on the left of screen.
“ This is test subject number two-zero-one. He has been on the new formula for one week now and has already begun to follow every command we give him. Watch this.” Lakyn pressed a button on the keypad on the desk and picked up a microphone.
“ Who are you?” he asked the test subject.
“ I am Simon, and Lucifer is my master.”
“ Very good,” he told Simon, taking his finger off the button.
“ What’s going on? How’d you do that?” asked David.
“ How? Why don’t you join me and find out for yourself.”
“ Just tell me what you gave him, Lake?”
“ I gave him a powerful drug that attracts demons to his body. He is now a vessel.”
“ That is brilliant, but what is the purpose of all this?” asked David, gesturing to the monitors, to the test subjects, and the employees packing boxes of cigarettes.
“ This? It’s for the greater good,” smiled Lakyn, holding out a pack towards David. “Will you join me? We need strength in numbers.”
David met his eyes and took one.
Chapter Seven
Trait
Scarlett was a little angry with Dyston for moving her up to a Third Year Traits 101 class. In Third Year, most of the students had already refined their Traits, while Scarlett’s were just appearing. Wasn’t she supposed to be hiding her trait? She strolled into the classroom, not knowing what to expect. She didn’t even know who her Professor was going to be. She sat down at a desk towards the back, and immediately, began hearing whispers.
“ Isn’t she First Year?” said one girl.
“ Yeah, I heard she’s just here ‘cause her boyfriend thinks she’s special,” said another, snickering.
Scar lett tried to tune them out, but she remembered what her grandmother had told her about bullies: Anyone who doesn’t like something that you do is just jealous. She wondered if her grandmother knew the truth of her fate. Scarlett looked up as the sound of two pairs of footsteps entering the room could be heard. It was Beth Blackbell and someone more familiar, Dyston.
“ What are you doing here?” she mouthed to him. Then her pocket vibrated and she reached in to pull out her iPhone.
“ I always co-teach this class with my Mother,” he texted. She looked up at him and he smiled. Then he turned to switch on the computer and projector.
“ Good morning, class,” said Beth as her eyes found Scarlett’s. She smiled. “Welcome Scarlett.” Scarlett smiled back.
