Up close, he was younger than I had initially thought. Late teens or early twenties, if age exists in angels. And he was no longer clean. Like his wings, there was something smeared on his face and clothes.
I inhaled sharply once realizing it was soot.
“Yeah,” he shrugged, “the fires of hell can leave a trace.” He observed me, his eyes sweeping from my legs to face, then he winced in disgust. “It’s all over you, too.”
I looked at my arms and legs, not believing him.
I guess he wasn’t impressed with how easily he controlled my actions, he shook his head.
I didn’t care what he thought of me. I was worried for her. “Is it on Rhea’s wings, too? Is she okay?”
“Wings? She isn’t that kind of Fallen.”
That shocked me. I gestured to him. “You mean… Not like you?”
He chuckled as if I were a fool. “What does she see in you?”
Jealousy appeared, and it meant business. “She is none of your concern.”
“Oh yeah?” he challenged while opening his wings.
In his arms was Rosa, waking from sleep.
Close to her face, he watched me as he told her, “Fallen deity, we have company.”
My head tilted. “Deity? Wait. That would mean—”
“Yes,” he gritted out. ”She’s a god, you imbecile. And now you are, too.”
Rosa’s eyes sprang wide when she saw me. “Onus!”
I sat up in bed, wheezing with disbelief. “Tell me that wasn’t real!”
She was on her knees, patting my chest. “Let me explain—”
“That I’m part god?” I roared then rolled out of bed to loom over her.
Knees to the mattress, she held her chest. “Judgment had been passed, but it wasn’t fair—”
Judgment? I have some of that myself! “Why were you with him?” I yelled. “I know you can’t lie to me!”
Exasperation practically seeping from her pores, she held her forehead. “He’s trying to help me help you.”
I was ready to unleash on her. “I don’t need that fuckers help!” I hit my chest. “I’m a fucking VP! I’m a fucking Fallen God!”
Wait. Fallen? What the fuck?
Exhausted, she sat back on her heels. “Is there truly such thing as coincidence?”
My ears burned as my mind tried to put all the pieces together. “Is my dad a—”
“He is not a god. But wants what I gifted you.”
I slammed my hands to my face and blindly paced. “Have I lost my fucking mind?”
Then, as if someone had placed an image in my mind, I saw that fucking angel holding Rosa again.
I stopped moving, dropped my hands, then glared at her. “Did you fuck him again?”
