  In road linking Poland to Germany , during the early dawn , a white Tahoe was speeding . Inside the vehicle , a man in dark clothing and sunglasses driving the car with one hand while holding a handgun current model pointed to a girl with her face and clothes covered in blood and mud . A storm was coming and there was nothing that offered a momentary shelter there.

  He was impatient and soon the Tahoe was running at full speed until he saw the approaching target . When they were already within the boundaries of Germany, the first thing the man saw was a hotel . There could be considered a five star hotel , but maybe four .

  The girl who was losing consciousness was inside the car while the Tahoe conudutor provided a room to spend the night . Luckily - or not - there was only one room available that was on the seventh floor . She was roughly guided by the boy , and when she stepped in the room , he pushed and locked alone inside.

  Having the girl trapped and no escape options , he again went up the driveway and drove the Tahoe to the border again and fired it , causing not a trace was left of what had happened previously .

  He returned to the hotel on foot and when he entered the room , he saw that the girl was trying to force one of the windows to escape .

- Did you really think would get away ?

  The girl had been thrown against the wall violently and his head collided with such force that red spots took care of her vision, she was also blurred by the tears of fear and guilt . She sat on the floor and his body refused to obey her.

  The man approached and grabbed her by the hair curly whose color was not set by blood and wet earth of Poland . She no longer tried to defend himself , because his end was near and only a miracle would allow her to escape alive from that situation . On second thought , until she preferred to die rather than stay with this trauma the rest of her life .

- Please ... Stop ... - She whimpered , as weak and choked voice by crying .

  He did not answer , just dropped the girl and allowed it to lie in bed in the hotel to sleep . This was not one of the best attitudes to do, but it was better than looking for it or suffer more than was suffering .

  A few hours later to make sure she was really asleep , the man lit a candle on a table that sat on the bed and opened the windows . He took one last look at her and went out , locking the door and throwing the key into the street when out the back door , which was restricted to those employees .

  When he was three meters away , he heard the desperate cries of the girl who was being imprisoned him and saw the flames take over the room with incomparével verocidade .

  The girl's body was being consumed by the flames of this dying candle and asking for help but no one came to her aid . His body was burning slowly , until only charred bones remained . The hotel staff called the German authorities , but it was too late . The girl was dead , destroyed the room and the killer had fled into the country with a false identity and shape the people who supported him .

  The room was restored months after the fact , however , the people who stayed in that room disappeared overnight and were found days later dead with strangulation marks and burns on arms, legs and face. When not disappeared , were found dead inside the apartment also with strangulation marks and signs of possible intoxication was caused by highly toxic substances from federal control .

  Several cases occurred involving one of these types of death and the hotel was not so sought after. Even those who were not in that room they feared for their lives and those who risked there avoided the room that was the scene of a tragic death .

 If you are staying in hotel White Moon , stay away from the seventh floor . But mostly , stay away from that room ...

... The room 483 .

❋ Eighteen

  All the archangels were willing Order in court . Daniel was the center at the highest chair, looking at us with cold and sharp as a blade look . Nora looked at me with joy and pride, which left me deeply wounded . I thought she was my friend , but I guess I was wrong bitterly. I looked away from her and looked around . It seemed that all the angels were gathered to see our judgment . D shuddered and seemed to do the same , but I was not sure . Zeo indicated two empty chairs at the side of the archangels . We sat and all the angels were silent when Daniel got up and spoke.

- Thanks for coming . After many years , we are present to this court , unfortunately , punish our own race . Our Father is not happy about it , but it is with His permission that I start this audience .

  Castiel was time to take the floor .

- Resumed the charge of treason on one of the seraphim Oliver Willows by making alliances with Lucifer , attempted murder and subtraction of powers of companions .

  The whispers started everywhere and ended when one of the archangels brought Oliver warriors chained to the neck to the court . All eyes were fixed on him and saw the archangels of the Order discussing what would be his sentence . Daniel nodded and whispered something to an angel and he disappeared from the room , bringing with him a stick and placing it at the disposal of the warrior archangel.

- Oliver , from now on , you are no longer deemed a seraph and all its powers will be removed . You will be banished to hell and remain there without the right to return to the kingdom of the Father

  Oliver saw him swallow , but he had not lost his arrogance in his eyes. His wings began to degenerate slowly until there was nothing left . I felt that his powers were fading and he soon became an ordinary human . The crowd was apprehensive until Nora took the first speaks .

- And , as a final result , Oliver will receive fifteen ablaze with light whip , so weigh the scars on his soul .

  The bat in the hands of the warrior archangel turned into a whip of fire . Oliver was with an eye to the center of the court , in the direction of Daniel , but nothing happened . The first blow was applied , and he came not no crying Oliver . For someone who became human , he was tough, but after the sixth stroke , tears wetting his face . I looked at D and he nodded .

  Before the eighth blow, the whip curled forearm D , but caused no serious injuries . Knelt and offered support for Oliver , who accepted , but was too weak to get up . The astonishment of all present was visible and saw Castiel staring at me reproachfully . I ignored the look and concentrated on Daniel .

- Do not you think that's enough ?

- Come out and resume their seats .

- We will not leave. As much as he has done unforgivable acts against the laws of this place , think being banished to Hell is the worst of punishments . - D began, convinced his words .

- You can not go against the laws of our Father Come back or be accused of treason and suffer along with it .

  None of us moved . Looked at each other and looked at Oliver, who was still crying , her face hidden in her hands . I got up and looked at all the angels that were there.

- Daniel , you said at the beginning of this hearing our Father gave him permission to conduct this trial , but I believe he should not be happy with your decision . I'm sure someone as great and as compassionate as He would not accept such punishment. Losing the powers and be exiled in hell as a human is already a great burden , as D said , because it will now carry the guilt with him forever .

  Daniel rose from his chair and squinted .

- How you have the audacity to refer to the feelings of the Father as if he knew ? You are the last that should say it .

- I do not need to know him so well , because we know that He always forgives everything we do wrong. Surely you already know that a nuisance for Oliver because he will live to be unable to light again . We have to protect and advise so that mortals do not do anything wrong and when they do, our mission is to save them , regardless of whether or not they believe in us , is not it?

  He nodded , as if he understood where I was going. Deep breath and continued .

- If our nature is to help everyone in need , even being right or wrong , why are stopped seeing one of us be punished ? Receive all deserve a trial , but the assault will not erase everything we did . The crimes will haunt us forever and this is the greatest punishment we can bear . So if quisem punish me , I am ready to be punished too.

  All eyes turned to Daniel . He closed his eyes to think and D approached me , putting a hand on my shoulder to comfort me . Oliver stood up and hissed a 'thank ' . I smiled at him , because even with the crimes he committed , being whipped is not punishment even to Lucifer, who is responsible for the bad things . For a moment , I forgot about the trial , but Daniel opened his eyes again and made a nod for them to take Oliver away. When he left, all the attention was concentrated on D and I , we had disrupted the trial.

- You two blocked this trial to save a traitor , which is unforgivable . However , you remember the true function of angels and compassion of our Father not afraid to receive no punishment for what they did and that's admirable. We were preparing the punishment of you , but after that we'll think of something better. - He finished with a smile .

  Nora started talking again , with a huge smile . So she knew what would happen and why was smiling at me . I returned the smile , realizing that she has always been my friend .

- The punishment will be removed and , with the permission and honor the Creator , you both will receive a new and higher nearest station of the Father

- We are proud to create a new class for those who have mercy and solidarity at the heart and also try to keep the peace and avert violence with courage . From now on , you belong to a new class known as Diplomacy .

  Something hot and blue wrapped my body , making my wings fall asleep . I looked around and saw that D was covered by a light the same color as mine. I closed my eyes and let the light coming over me , bringing more power and a great sense of peace .

  Everything turned out faster than I expected . I looked around and was still in court with the Order D by my side. Our eyes widened at the same time to look at the wings of another. The D were golden , but with a hint of blue at the top and was twice the previous size . I wondered what would be mine, until a mirror appeared in front of us .

  I was amazed with what I saw . My wings were white but with blue on the bottom and a few millimeters smaller than D , but were still higher than the wings of archangels or even the Order of the Seraphim . Everyone was smiling at us and then started clapping . My cheeks burned , but I did not care . I looked at D and he also smiled and applauded . I joined the crowd clapping , knowing that we had done what was right .

  I looked up and saw the smiling face of Theos . Now I was not a seraph , I was something more important to the world along with who it was important to me .

  I was a diplomat.

❋ Seventeen

  The fist Oliver was standing inches from my face . Djin panted behind me and coughed a lot . I turned to help him and saw him badly wounded . I took care of his wounds and did not care about Oliver 's eyes fixed on me, giving all the resentment he felt. Protect that body was my priority and even being inhabited by a demon , I could not just close our eyes to what was happening , not after Fellows have told me everything . Now I saw Oliver not as an angel , but as a selfish traitor.

- Sety ...

- D ? Coming back?

   I started to see human traits in him again and felt a little more relieved . Before long , the demonic features left his face and I could see Thomas ever. And he offered support , reluctant and proud, not accepted . Oliver stood and stared fiercely. Oliver growled and ran , but not in D but me.

- Why him and not me ? What does he have that I do not ?

- He is honest , something you're not .

   He looked at me with narrowed eyes and held me by the neck , making my head slam against the wall . Being with my necklace back , nothing happened to me , just felt a sharp pain at the site of the blow and could heal the wound that had opened .

- Who told you that ? How did you know ?

  I was silent . Fellows would not deliver in any way , so Oliver would face without fear , In addition , I wanted to stay alive to deliver it to the Order .

- Stay away from her !

  I went back to watch what happened after seeing Oliver with his mouth bleeding . D was holding him by the hair and brown eyes flashing with anger. Surely he knew nothing of it and , if discovered , would be angrier than he already was. A part of me pondering what to tell or not to him while the other half thinking what to do to put my plan into practice .

  I used the collar to communicate with others seraphim , but none of them replied . Now I was alone to try to calm the situation. Approached them , without having the slightest notion of what to do and I saw something shiny in the back of D. His body radiated a golden glow , like the dawn, and which overshadowed both the vision of Oliver as mine , and when the light became weaker , I saw a pair of golden wings , like those who were in his memories . Let D Oliver, who was pale and wide-eyed and surprised eyes and slowly pulled away . I shuddered with the force coming from him , it never felt such power before. Even the leader of the seraphim had such power , nor Daniel , the leader of the Order of the archangels .

  Two family sparkles appeared then a near Oliver and the other in the center of chaos , so that you can pay attention to all of us . The red light went out and saw Suzanna holding Oliver by the arm . Soon after, the emerald color brightness brought Zeo , I looked at the three of us blankly . He nodded and looked to D Suzanna , who nodded and disappeared along with Oliver .

- Serenity and Thomas , I want you to accompany me . The Order awaits for an audience .

  D held my hand and flew towards the heaven I felt chills as I approached my new home because I knew that the Order should not be happy.

- Let's take care of it together, do not worry . - D whispered so Zeo slipped slightly upward.

  The light gold color and I was involved in before the bar of Order . I shook hands with D and he returned the grip. We were in trouble .

❋ Sixteen

  I stopped when I was about a meter away from him . Something is not right , GO AWAY FROM HERE ! NOW ! My conscience told me clearly . I'm not one of those to listen to the instincts nor to consciousness , but this time I thought I better get out of there . Oliver was back and I walked on tiptoes to grab my backpack and go. He should be sleeping , because his breathing was deep . He was crossing the side door leading to the garage when the gray eyes of Oliver begin to track my movements in detail , lingering on my injured ankle . I saw him wince , but it was so fast I was not sure of having seen it in fact . I froze where I was and waited for any reaction from him . Nothing . I started to get more nervous and stepped back, reaching a step.

- Now go away , Sery ? Let's talk a bit .

  I grew suspicious and took another step back , determined to run if needed . Discreetly looked back. The garage door was unlocked . Maybe if I act quickly could escape before knowing what Oliver was up . He forced a smile I had never seen before and narrowed his eyes when he realized that my hand was on the door handle . I heard a growl forming in his throat and not thought, slammed the door and locked it with the key that was on the outside , jumped into my bike and got out of there at full speed , just when Oliver pulled the door hinges and followed my departure to look fierce and wrathful .

  He was coming out of Dakota Street when a figure appears in the middle of the street . I knew who he was and swerved , passing on the sidewalk following and to a safe place. Could not go home because I did not want my mother to suffer the consequences and went to the house of a former seraphim who had retired and was in the human world . I turned left onto Baxter Avenue and stopped in front of a home cream color Fellows and saw him sitting on the porch admiring the movement of the street absentmindedly .

- What I owe your visit young Lightwood ? Glad you recovered your necklace .

- Thanks, but I need help .

- What happened ?

- Do you know something about Oliver ?

  He frowned and rubbed his chin , already standing and holding the door for me to enter . I bowed - is a custom among seraphim do on Earth - and went .

- Oliver Willows,  the super happy seraphim ?

  I nodded . Something in the expression ' super happy seraphim ' sounded strange .

- Yes , I know all about it . Oliver was my apprentice .

- He was a person so friendly and was now so strange ...

- So you did not know?

- Huh?

- Of course he does not know , this subject has been forgotten and could not be passed on to newcomers . Sit down, I'll tell you everything I know .

  I sat on a chair in front of him and heard the whole story carefully .

- Well , in fact Oliver was always a good person even after becoming seraphim - Fellows began - But then there was an incident with a young boy named Thomas and Dakota ...

- Thomas Dakota ?

- Yes , you know him?

- I knew him up to forty minutes ago !

- What are you talking about?

- He helped me find the necklace ! He trained me so that I was stronger and made ​​sure I stay safe ... What Oliver has to do with it ?

  Fellows was taken aback for a moment , but soon composed himself then already leaving for the end of the story .

- Everything that happened was because of Thomas Oliver . When the boy was safe to order and welcomed by our Father as an angel , Oliver did not like that and knowing the past of the boy and aware that his memories had been erased , he made a deal with Lucifer .

- What kind of deal?

- There are times Lucifer coveted the soul of Thomas and knowing the grudge Oliver regarding the boy , proposed a deal: if Oliver would help to have the soul of Thomas , Lucifer grant to our friendly seraphim the power to predict the future .

- And he gave it?

- Yes, when Oliver knew you would be born , he soon began to pay attention to you and managed to convince our father to turn her into one of us , just so that you could stay with him . Everything was going as he planned , but Lucifer conned and used Thomas to kidnap her necklace . You two met , and when Oliver saw the Sky first transfer of power you had , was quite angry and went down to the mortal world to destroy you.

  I got up from the chair with a jump and ran , opening my wings and flying as soon as possible to Dakota Street again. From the top , I could see two bodies are attacking , I recognize two shadows everywhere : Oliver and Thomas .

  I dove in the clouds and landed between them . Would not let it linger and not allow D to be hurt , even though he was only a demon could not bear the idea of ​​being Oliver wounding the body of a person who was like a brother to me. I saw an agent of Lucifer in the shadows , comtemplando the fight and felt immediate determination . I already knew what to do and should act as quickly as possible .

❋ Fifteen

   I held the pendant tightly and felt my powers of seraphim returning gradually . Every cell in my body again absorbed the lost skills . D put the necklace around my neck and gave me an unexpected hug. Retrubuí , feeling embarrassed , but soon a slight feeling enveloped me and only then realized that D was transferring what was left of his power angel for me . Unable to remove him , so could block the transfer of power.

- Why are you doing this?

- You'll turn into a ...

- Shh ... You go back to Heaven , this was my mission ever since , now that his collar back into place , I have nothing more to do in the world of mortals .

  Pulled away in order to face him . He was teary eyes and opaque . Why? What was going on here anyway? If it was meant to help me , it was certainly not by orders of Lucifer , then, who could have given him this order ?

  I have not had much time to think about it , because D was turning into a demon again. I felt a great shiver down my body and I saw a black light enveloping him . Never seen this before , but I'm sure I'd feel the same sense of fear and dread . Did everything he said about his task in the mortal world was true ? If it were , why Lucifer would agree with that? Probably some kind of dispute between the two forces , but was not sure . All this because of a necklace? I think this was not well .

- Sety , run as fast as you can and do not look back .

- But ...

- Go right before I do something I do not want !

  I got up from bed and ran toward the door . D looked one last time , but did not have time to thank , for this human that even for a short time together was important to me in those eyes was gone . I felt tears sting my eyes and started running , thinking about the force that D had given me moments before . Something inside me said that Thomas Dakota was dead, this time forever.

  The bedroom door was open and I heard fast and furious footsteps behind me . The only person who was there was now another demon who wanted to break up with me . My face started getting moistened by tears , but tried not to prevent them from falling . My vision was blurred by tears , but I could guide me the same way that D had led me to leave the condo . The key was still with me and traquei output .

   I ran to his house to pick up my stuff and my bike to go there , but when I entered I saw a shadow moving in the darkness and a similar energy with my invaded my senses . I turned on the lights and saw a someone I trusted . Oliver . But what was he doing there? How to know where I was ? Well , the second question was spontaneous , as the seraphim know everything , entretando was still surprised by everything . Approached him with involuntary caution. For me there was nothing wrong , but maybe another part of my being knew something did not suspect my senses .

❋ Fourteen

  The D was heavy breathing on my neck and made the hairs on my neck stand on end . We were still on the outside of the condo and do not know for what reason , D stood motionless and looked around carefully. I was not seeing anything .

- Go slowly and without walking out of the shadows and only stop when I say .

  I nodded and began to walk slowly up the building without understanding why so much care . Probably there was no one around except the two of us , however , I could not question what he had in mind .

  We walked for a few meters , always hidden in the shadows until D tells me to stop in front of a metal door that was getting rusty over time. He took a key from his pocket and opened the door with an almost silent click. A part of me was relieved by the fact that we need not climb those security bars . The door closed behind us and everything went dark , except for a little light escaping beneath a door ahead. I tried to open and also was locked.

- Everything here is locked and I have the master key , do not worry .

  Pulled back and let him do the work . Soon , we were in a rather sweeping staircase and leading to other floors. The characteristics of the place, that should be the entry for employees who worked in the kitchen and cleaning.

  After many endless flights of stairs, D stopped in front of a door which indicated the sixth floor and opened with the master key , revealing a dimly lit hallway with rooms. Walked with the utmost care possible. All the way just felt a lot of adrenaline in my body , but now I feel a few pairs of eyes on us. D stopped and pushed me down the aisle when something began to move in the shadows .

- Go to the last room on the right and do not stop . Close the door when entering.

  I have not had time to protest because three dogs appeared and stared in a predatory manner . One salivated and other snarled , but everyone was staring D and all the moves he did, I looked at him and when I got a positive nod, started walking back, not taking his eyes of dogs, whose movement eyes ranged between D and I constantly. One of them slipped and the others followed , but soon Djin took over the body of Thomas and the dogs had great difficulty . I do not want that to happen , but had no power to calm the dogs and never got anything from them besides various growls enquando was human . So the only option left was to run to the room .

  When I started to gain speed , one of the dogs came towards me and sank his sharp teeth into my shin. Stumbled and staggered but did not fall . Once the animal dumped me , kept running and opened the bedroom door with difficulty, but closed shortly thereafter before taking another bite . I slid down the wall next to the door and tried to use what little power I had left to cure me of the dog bite , but it worked . I was losing blood and there was nothing there that could be used to stop the bleeding and it prevented me from standing for, besides the blood , the pain was becoming unbearable.

  D came shortly after and was already as a human again. He turned on the lights , I had forgotten to light and saw me sitting with her hands on the ankle .

- I think I'll have to change my plans extra lessons for you, some classes of racing would go well .

  He went to a drawer and pulled out a bandage , band and what appeared to be an antiseptic liquid. I grimaced as he passed where alcohol was injured but all passed quickly as he finished bandaging my ankle .

- Is that better?

- A little. - Lied . Was hurting too , but it was not the time to worry him .

  Unable to stand and follow D limping about the room, which was great. I stopped when he stood before a beige cabinet . He opened the door and rummaged until he found what he wanted and asked me to sit on the bed . I sat and he sat beside me , but allowing one could see the other's face clearly.

- I think you should open .

  I held the box made of mahogany that smelled of varnish and stared at her for a long time .

- What are you waiting for?

  D touched my shoulder and I opened the box once, as a dressing and my eyes were bright and my body got tougher . I removed the object from the bottom of the box and smiling like a fool .

  Finally found my necklace .

❋ Thirteen

  The days spent crawling , my nerves leading to madness . I do not know what to expect when the day came . Should meet with Djin to retrieve the necklace peacefully or should try to recover it by invading the apartment along with Thomas ? Yes , they are the same person , I know , but each has a different personality and I trust Thomas now . Do not know what to follow and who to believe . D spent regularly at home after school and my mother was increasingly infatuated with him, especially after learning that he became my physical education teacher who lived punishing me with extra exercises after class .

  Soon the day arrived . It was midnight and I still had not slept . I struggled on the bed from one side to the other, but no sleeping . When sleep began to appear , my phone rings and scares my sleep again.

- What will you do?

- I do not know . What are you planning ?

- I can not control Djin , so I need your decision.

  I stopped to reflect a little . If I counted with the help of Thomas , it would be faster .

- Thomas I trust .

- Great . Wait for me after school at the beginning of Dakota Street .

- O.K.

  He hung up and tried to sleep again , but when I started to relax , the damn alarm clock starts ringing. If I had a baseball bat now , surely shatter that thing mercilessly .

  I crawled to the bathroom and then changed clothes . I had coffee and left a little earlier than usual and decided to take a walk . It was a little cold outside and I needed it to cool off .

  The hours dragged on and I was getting anxious and eager . I wonder what we would find ? I could finally get back to heaven ? My time was running out and could not wait for many days . Sabrina barely noticed my agitation , so I could meditate in peace . Nor had lessons with D today so I could get some rest before starting this dangerous mission with him .

  The bell rang and I was the last to leave . D was waiting for me with the clothes and always wore her hair wet , smelling clean. My bike was still for a nearby and he handed me my helmet .

- Come on.

- What? But what my ...

- Does your mother know what we will do , I 've told her everything.

  I felt relieved and called her just to confirm if he actually had talked to her . After everything is in order, I climbed on the bike and D took us to Dakota Street at full speed , but Rosalie appeared in the middle of the street and D crossed the sidewalk, trying to avoid the maximum delay with our plan . We followed along the street and began to notice that the end of Dakota Street was different the last time I went there to go to the city center . The buildings that were still new were in ruins and were completely looted . It was a sad scene, because it was a street that had great movement and great wonders before it happened .

  D gave a sudden stop , and when I realized we were inside a garage . We went down and he motioned for me to enter through the side door of the garage . I went after him and saw that this was to be his home .

  Everything was in perfect order and without any damage . The furniture was of good quality and the house was clean . Discreetly looked mobile and saw no trace of dust somewhere. The dishes were washed and everything completely clinking.

- Not because I am a man I should be rowdy .

  I nodded , surprised. Knew other guys organized , but D should certainly be a perfectionist . He grabbed my backpack and put it on the couch.

- Come on, we have no time to lose.

  I followed him to the door and we walked into the building that was recently abandoned. It really should be a luxury condo , for they had several buildings and a security fence extremely high . Immediately , I remembered the dream I had and felt the goose bumps . D And if you do that to me really? I looked at him quickly and soon the reasons that I suspect it dissipated . He looked around and grabbed my wrist , pulling me into a shadow that was on the other sidewalk.

❋Twelve

  The next day , Sabrina could not stop talking about D and what had happened , which gave me a lot of work to contain it . The day was common and lunch too, but Sabrina as much as I saw something unprecedented happens .

  Dressed in sports clothes , D entered the coffee shop and came toward us . Students looked at him curiously , but nothing has shaken his confidence heading to where we were.

- But what ...

- I'm your new physical education teacher for some time .

- How so ? They employ any over 18 ?

- It seems that my resume approved . - He winked - See you in a bit .

  Snorted . Had completely forgotten about the physical education class and had eaten more than you should . I left the plate aside and prayed that everything would be digested in just ten minutes . Sabrina nudged me and I looked at her.

- How did he get here professorship ?

- This I also wanted to know .

- At least your average in this area may increase slightly .

  I nodded . I hope he gives me some extra credit because no teacher that area never sympathized with me . I was tense and worried , doing exercises in front of the other students was embarrassing, but join it to the attention of D in my movements was much worse and I did not think about it ahead of time , but could not avoid .

  The time has come. Sabrina went to the locker room and changed clothes along with the other girls , who were gossiping about D and how he looked good in a tank top . I did not support their decision mentally, for me D was much better with the dark clothes he usually wore .

  We went to the gym and he was waiting for us with a clipboard in hand and looking at the roles that were trapped in it . So we all sat down , he looked at each of us , not take me any time. I felt relieved by his professionalism and started to get more relaxed .

- Very well , as I still do not know the performance of each one, ask that the names I call come over here and I will give basic commands of exercise. Whoever does in less time is relieved of upcoming activities during the week and one that will take longer to meet me extra credit after school .

  The other girls were busy and I could hear plotting are late to be with D. I, on the other hand , wanted to be the fastest to get free of this torture week. He called name by name and rigidly cronometrava time of each, noting the clipboard . Before I knew it , I was already in my time.

- Miss Lightwood - he called indifferently .

  I stood up and waited for instructions . He looked at me and shook his head , denying any possibility for me to go that route as well .

- Miss Lightwood , think you can afford to do this ? According to the records , your health goes unstable .

- I'm better.

- Well, let's begin: I want five laps around the court starting now.

  I started running awkwardly , but then I could stabilize my speed . To my disappointment , the speed of the seraphim was gone a lot and I had only 15 % power before , which precluded me from running much faster . When I was coming to the end of the fifth lap , D yells another statement.

- I want fifty abdominal and then climb that wall .

  Snorted . He thought I was what? I lay on the mat and did the abdominal soon as I could. I got up and ran to the wall, which was on the other side of the gym . It had at least four feet tall and I had to get to the top and descend rapidly .

  It was a great challenge . I was tired and my body was not cooperating with me too . I almost fell numerous times , but in the end I managed to climb . Once upstairs , down was easier . I jumped in and stopped walking , to my relief .

- Very well . You can go take a shower and get changed in the locker room , then come back here .

  I nodded and did what he said quickly. I sat back down next to Sabrina and were hoping to finish the rest of the exercises and take showers. So we were all there, D analyzed the time of each and said bluntly :

- Well , Ausitn McGroudy are free of me for this week .

  Austin could not contain himself and gave a cry of celebration ;

- Now I will have the company of Miss Serenity Lightwood after school .

  I widened my eyes . How ? I saw that there were people who were slower than me, how they saved it? I fixed my eyes on D , but he showed indifference and dismissed us when the time expired .

  At the end of class , I called my mother and told her that I would delay fault D and changed clothes again . I tied my hair in a ponytail and went to the gym. He was examining some papers , but stopped when he heard me coming.

- What does that mean ? People were slower than me!

- I know .

- Then why did you say it was me?

- Because you have to train more . Those who were slower than you tensed , but had sufficient physical conditions . His time was good, but his fitness is weak . Come over here .

  I went down the stairs of the grandstand and was close to him .

- See that rope?

  I looked up and saw a bell tied on top of her. I swallowed and felt a shiver down my spine . As ridiculous as it is, I have a certain fear of heights when it came that year . I returned my gaze to D.

- I will not do that . I'm afraid .

  He could not control his laughter .

- You were a seraphim and afraid of heights ?

- Well , as ridiculous as it is, yes .

- So we have to work on your fear first. Climb on the bench .

- What?

- Climb on the bench .

  I obeyed , hesitant and waited for the next recommendation.

- Now jump .

  Jumped. Easy. What he wanted with it .

- Climb that wall again.

  Subi . My hands were shaking a bit . At that altitude I could still survive, but was uncomfortable .

- Skip .

  I jumped and the goose bumps came along .

- Now climb the rope .

- But ...

- If you are not afraid of the wall you can climb that rope . Now . That's an order .

  My body shook with the idea . The rope was still higher than the wall and it made me scared. I grabbed the rope and began to climb . I closed my eyes not to be curious to know how high I was on the floor.

- Open your eyes , Lightwood ! I want to see your blue eyes wide open .

  I risked opening an eye . Was still close to the ground . I opened the other and looked up , determined to ring the bell . I forgot for a moment of time , but my body said I was too tall and felt falter for a moment . Lost the support of one foot and almost fell , but managed to compose myself . From the top , I listened to the motivation of D and that gave me some strength . I figured that was going up into the clouds and my fear began to fade away . I was just a few meters from the bell and now nothing would prevent me from getting to the end. You 're not scared , I said to myself , you can win this. I rang the bell and looked down . At first , I was dizzy , but I let my fear aside when I saw D there.

- D ! D !

- I'm here .

  I looked ahead and saw D on the other side of the rope , smiling .

- How do you ...

- It is one of my skills . I'm proud of you .

  I smiled , happy with my progress , but D was not satisfied .

- But do not think that's it . We have much to train ahead , girl , tomorrow is Saturday, you can rest .

- I hope I get a good extra credit for it .

- I'll think about your offer ...

❋ Eleven

  D let me slowly hug , but I was completely shocked and petrified . I looked at him , not knowing where to start or what to say . He really suffered a lot and I did not believe him . I felt guilty at the same time and I leaned on the door not to crumple to the floor. He held me put me sitting on my bike .

- So that's why everyone you know as D , is not it?

- Yes, when people knew my name , went from me and condemned me , so I started using the name Drew to justify the nickname D.

- I 'm sorry for your family and for you . Forgive me for suspecting you .

- It does not matter anymore and you do not want to be unhappy because of me . So recognize you as a seraph and I want the bottom of my soul to help you recover the necklace ...

- But you can not by the power of Lucifer , is not it?

  He nodded , leaning back in my mom's car and took a long , deep sigh . Silence fell on us and became unpleasant. I tried to start a conversation either , but nothing lasted more than three seconds . I do not know what to say nor what to do , until he came near me .

- Are you still willing to trust me ?

  I nodded . It was true that half of him wanted to destroy me , but another half wanted to help me . He reached out to me and I accepted it support the bike and I stood up , still staggering . We stopped in front of the entrance of my house and he opened the door for me . Before leaving , I decided to finally ask :

- Why when you ...

- Easy if you took a part of my memory, you'll remember seeing me in Heaven as an angel .

  I nodded .

- When I made that pact with Lucifer did not lose all the power that the Order of Archangels gave me so I can control myself as human. You sentu strong because absroveu a part of this power.

  I was shocked . If I knew that would never have let him do it . I do not want him to leave the human being because of me and not him to suffer the punishment of Lucifer for helping me .

- What is it?

  I did not answer . I swallowed my pride and stepped forward . D did not pull away and stared at me with confused look . I know there are a few moments I hated - and still hate a bit - but after learning about his past began to see it with new eyes and realized that he does not deserve so much hate as it seemed at first. My mother and Sabrina had their eyes glued on me, but said nothing . I opened my arms and hugged D the most caring and kind way that I could .

  He did not react and it made me feel like an idiot . I started to retreat , but he wrapped his arms around me again and rested her chin on top of my head . I felt my face heat up, but soon returned to normal temperature. Did not trust him so far, but I began to feel safe after that hug. He had never felt anything like it , it was like we were brothers .

- Do not worry about me , okay ? We'll get your necklace and you will go back to being what it was.

- Thank you.

  He smiled and pulled me gently.

- You know where to find me . If you need me , I am always ready to help you. Just do not make any more triumphal entry , ok ?

  I could not restrain a smile and he kissed my forehead before leaving . My mother smiled with pride and Sabrina screamed like crazy , excited by the revelation that my mother did to her. I closed the door and went upstairs to the room .

- Serenity has a boyfriend ! Serenity got a boyfriend !

  I looked at her angrily , but did not last long after my mother joined her. So they say , you can not beat the enemy , join him. I joined in embrace together with his eyes watering with happiness. He was not my boyfriend , but I meant something more to me.
