 Chapter 6-7 will be out next week. Keep checking my websites for updates!

Chapter Four

“What the heck is a vessel?!” I knew several terms for vessels when it came to witches, werewolves, and vampires. What did it mean for angels and demons? Lance's mother motions for me to calm down. They close the blinds and a light fills the room. The light subsides and his parents are in their angel form. They wore long white robes unlike Lance, had weird face masks hanging from their sides, and looked younger. 

I watch his father form an orb in his hand. “Look into the orb and all will be explained”.

“It was over five hundred years ago when the first vessel existed in this world. A vessel is known as a human who has rare pink blood cells in their body. These pink blood cells are the reason why you are a vessel. If you had normal red blood cells then you would not be considered one. With red cells your body is denser and no living aura rather demon or angel can possess you.” The father looks at the mother to continue.

“You see with red blood cells you are more attuned to human society and would be normal. You would not be able to see us in our angel form or demons. But since your cells are pink, you my child have the ability to see us and demons. Your body is not a part of human society. You are now a living being who possesses the ‘third eye’. The third eye makes your body a vessel because it is lighter in spirit and a demon or angel can possess you with ease if your guard is down. All they would need is a simple touch of your body.” she finishes. I stop looking into the orb of all the humans before me. 

“Okay, but that doesn’t explain why I couldn’t see them before. All this started yesterday after a massive headache.” I explained. The father points to look into the orb.

“A vessel is activated every 2 decades after their death. The last vessel died at the age of 20 in the year 2001 of May.” he answered.

“Crap. It’s May of 2021.” I mumble.

“So, what should we do now? If this information gets out then Jai’s life could be in danger.” Lance questions. Both his parents look at him with sadness. He could read their minds with ease. “No, we can not send her to the angel council. They will treat her like a prisoner!”.

“We understand your concern son, but if a demon learns of another vessel and possesses her body. Then the whole human race will be in danger. God forbid one of those demons bring her to the demon king…” Lance immediately grabs my arm and pulls me away. We leave his house and head to a nearby park. I have never seen Lance mad before. He was always a calm person. Even when he stopped one of my bullies, he did it in a calm manner. We sit on a huge swinging tire.

“Lance, are you okay? I have never seen you so mad.” I asked.

“Hell no! I am not okay. My parents don’t give a shit about anything, not even my feelings. They know the angel council are high mighty ass holes, yet they still trust them so easily.” he screams. He was getting so mad his eyes were beginning to turn white. Kids were entering the park so I quickly embraced him. He stops in his tracks and looks down upon me.

“Lance...Being an angel sucks!” I confessed. His temper goes down as the kids run past us. He hugs me back and sighs.

“I don’t know what to do. If a demon finds you then the angels will be forced to kill you if possessed; like before.”

“Awe, so that explains why each vessel died so young. What about if I play dumb and pretend like I can’t see the demons? Also, why do angels get a normal looking body while demons don’t?”

“Angels are more pure so we can blend in more with humans. Although most demons have black skin, those are lower rank demons. They can be seen easily while higher rank demons are more like humans. You can only tell they are demons because during the day, their bodies become ghost-like. It’s only at night when their bodies are solid.” he explains. After that one question, Lance explains to me about the powers of each demon. The lower ranks only have the powers to persuade one human mind with black auras. While the higher rank demons can control ten or more people. Most of the higher rank demons are the drug-lords or gang leaders of the human population. The reason why humans are drug addicts and selling drugs or killing other gang members and innocent people.

“Wow. Humans really are weak minded. I can see why vessels get taken over so easily...but then again I can also understand that they were scared too. They didn’t have a cool angel friend to tell them what was happening to them.” I said.

“Yeah, that is true. If we could have caught them or knew a vessel was activated, maybe their lives could have been saved or protected.”

“Like having their own guardian angel?”

“Exactly.” he winks.

“Oh, by the way, what were those masks hanging from your parents waist?” I pondered.

“Those things were weapon summoners. When worn their weapons will form in their hands. And as you can see, I don’t have my mask yet. It only comes when your ‘heart is brave and strong’.” he answered. 

“Heart is brave and strong? Damn I didn’t know you were such a cry baby.” I laughed. He punched me in the arm and then froze. His face goes stale with worry. I look around and realize the park was dead empty and the wind was blowing icy cold. 

“That’s the girl who ruined my plans earlier!” We look over and see a group of demons. They were all human-like but had black skin. The woman from earlier was with them. “See, she is staring right at us. She has the sight! She is a vessel!” she screams.

Lance looks at me and I couldn’t help but remember the one detail I forgot to tell him and his parents about.

“I’m screwed.”

Chapter Five 

The demons come closer. From a simple step my body was freezing. Lance motions me to stand behind him. He snaps his finger and a barrier forms around us. The demons blast the shield with haste. I could see their mouths dripping with saliva.

“Want to tell me something?!” he asked. I look at him and bow my head with shame.

“Please don’t hate me, but before I knew I was a vessel, earlier today I may have saved a man from a demon woman and made eye contact with her while doing so…” I whisper. 

“Jai!” 

“I know, I know...but I couldn’t stand by and watch an innocent man kill himself because of them.” I pointed while stepping back. I thought Lance would yell at me some more but instead he picks me up and tells me to ‘hang on’. The barrier breaks and he takes off to the sky. I lean my head on his chest as the wind blows past me. The skyline was beautiful. The hissing sound was unnecessary. I looked over his shoulder and saw the demons flying behind us. 

“Right, I forgot about the bat wings.” he mumbles. I gave him a ‘really’ look and hung on for the ride. They were shooting at us and Lance tried doging each one. The wind was growing denser and it was hard for him to maneuver through it. One impacts his wing and he groans. He gives me a ‘sorry’ expression.

“Don’t hate me!” he yells. He throws me high in the air. I was too shocked to scream as he turned towards the demons and formed a long white beam. He does one slash and all the demons scatter. A few were destroyed while the others got away. I was coming down and Lance caught me. We locked eyes for a second. I was lost in them and I secretly loved it. Could I have feelings for him? I shake my head and remember what he did.

“I hate you.” I stated. He laughs at me while we land. He lands behind a school building and takes a breath.

“Honest moment...That is the first time I ever had a group of demons chase me and I destroy them in one blow.”

“You mean half destroyed. Should we worry about the ones who got away?” I questioned. 

“Unfortunately, yes. If we don’t catch them, they will tell demons higher in status about you or even worse, the demon king. If the demon king finds you and possesses you, then he will be able to leave the underworld and possibly cause world war three.” he explains.

“Why can’t the demon king leave the underworld like the rest of his people?” 

“My parents told me he was too far gone and pure evil. Also something about the angels placed a barrier on him. A human host can break the barrier.” he thinks. I roll my eyes remembering how much he sucked at paying attention to lectures.

“Your explanation sucks but I think I got the best of it. So, what now?”

“I go after the rest of the devils, and you go home…”

“What?! I am not going to let you face four more demons alone. I am coming with…”

“No! I will not risk you getting hurt or better yet touched by a demon…” I tune him out when I feel a weird shiver on my neck. I peek behind and quickly push him to the side. “Move!”. The demon woman and her three lackeys had found us. I was on the ground holding my chest in pain. Her red blast had stung like hell, literally. My whole shirt was burned off. Lance's eyes go wide at my save and quickly forms a barrier. 

“What the hell Jai?! I can take a hit, ” he said.

“True...but I couldn’t watch you get hurt again because of me. You might have thick skin but your wings aren’t.” I express.

“This vessel is dumb like the others…” The woman stops speaking when Lance starts to glow like crazy. His whole body was engulfed with light. The demons step back.

“She is not dumb! She is a kind and caring person. Something you devils wouldn’t know anything about…” the light disappears and a sword forms in his hand. It was similar to our kendo sticks in the club just made of metal. “...And I won’t dare let her become possessed by the likes of you. I will protect her with my life because…” he stops and stares at me. I can see the love and compassion in his eyes. I smile back and nod. I was giving him my approval to say the words that would change both of our lives for good.

“I’m her Guardian Angel.” he confesses. He launched at them and before they had time to move, he slashed them. They disappeared and his weapon turned into a mask. He hovers over me with concern. I was concerned too. I thought I would bleed like crazy, but instead there was nothing.

“I’m okay?” I pondered. Lance stared at my ‘wound’ and saw nothing as well. Then his face goes red. I realized my bra and breast were showing. I cross my arms to cover them. I can feel my heat rising. I turn away and look back at my chest.

“Why am I okay?” I thought.
