His tan skin glistened in the moonlight. His back was facing away from me but I could tell his shoulders were tense. Almost as if he were waiting for something.. Or someone. I took a step forward, then another. I reached out my hand to touch his shoulder... I awoke to the sound of my older brother yelling at me from the bottom of the stairs. " Come on Lexi, it's our first day of senior year at our new school! Don't you dare make me look bad in front of the chicks!" I rolled over and sighed. Sometimes having a twin sucked. We looked nothing alike either. Jay was tall, I was short. Jay had black hair, I had blonde. Our eyes were both green. But other than that the only thing we had in common was that we were, well, fallen angles. Reply with "bump" if u think I should continue. Thx!
Finally I got out of my bed to get ready for school. The whole time I kept thinking about my dream. He had seemed so real. Maybe he went to my school. What was his name? Could he be a fallen angel too?I hadn't noticed I was walking downstairs till I slipped and found myself at the bottom of them. Fallen angels didn't feel pain as much as humans. Of course if you chopped off our hand we would feel that but tiny cuts or bruises never really bothered us. Jay came over and sat down beside me. "Have a weird dream again?" he asked "You have no idea."I sighed "I know. But all we have to do is find our grace and then we'll be back up in the sky and walla, no more human defects." Jay got up and tossed me a granola bar before going upstairs. His words repeated in my head. Find our grace. All angels have grace. When they do something to fall from heaven they lose their grace. Pretty much after that we get a choice. We can find our grace and go back to heaven or we can choose not to find our grace and be an immortal human. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Jay wanted to get to school early so we packed and hopped in his jeep. "Jay?" I asked "Uh huh?" "We've been to a lot of high schools lately. Can you please not kill anyone this time?" He laughed "I'll try" Our adventures in Washington had finally begun. Little did I realize I would never want one of them to end.. Ever
