Elliot's Story - The Angel of Darkness1

Chapter 4. 2

----3

Elliot stood in front of the mirror in Selphia's room, staring at his reflection. He shuddered - He was clad in a white dress shirt, and black jeans - and turned to the redhead, who was standing beside him with a satisfied grin. 4

"Do I seriously have to wear this?" he asked, picking at the shirt. 5

"Yeah, it suits you. Besides, it's better than that robe-thing you where wearing before." Selphia smiled, Elliot looked mildly offended. 6

"Hey, that was the official Guardian angel uniform. What was wrong with it?"7

"Everything. Besides, you can't wear something like that to school." 8

Selphia told him, "What you're wearing now is more or less part of the school dress-code - all you need is a tie." She said, rummaging around in a shopping bag full of newly bought clothing for the angel. 9

Elliot groaned, "A tie? Seriously? We're not even allowed to wear them in Olympus because they're a safety hazard. If I get attacked, my opponent could easily choke me-"10

"Don't worry about that." Selphia laughed, pulling out a tie and wrapping it around Elliot’s' collar. "No one's randomly going to jump outta a closet and attack you."11

"You can never be too sure!" 12

"Let's just go." Selphia said, pulling Elliot out of the room.13

~~~~~~14

Selphia stared down at Elliot's new timetable when first break came around at school. "I can't believe it....You have every single one of my classes...."15

"Well, that is kind of the point of coming to school." Elliot said, taking his sheet back. "What's 'economics', anyway?" 16

"Cooking class. I want to be a chef." Selphia said, taking a bite of her sandwich as the two sat under the shade of a large tree. 17

"Ah. So you'll be around sharp, pointy objects all day. Now, will that be safe for you?" Elliot teased, pulling out a sandwich of his own. "I never did any study on preparing food back at home...I don't know how to cook."18

"Well, then I guess you're stuffed." Selphia sniffed, offended. 19

"What's on this anyway?" Elliot asked, staring at his lunch.20

"Oh, it has-" Selphia was cut off by a sharp ringing emitting from Elliot's pocket. He pulled out an odd looking device that fit snuggly into his palm. He grinned, and pressed a button. A white topped head appeared on the screen. "Hey, Wolfie!" Elliot said, "What's up?"21

"Don't call me 'Wolfie', you numb-brain!" Selphia heard the kid scream from the phone. "And what are you WEARING!?"22

"What's with the bad mood? Something happen at the Academy?" Elliot asked, his expression concerned. "And," He added, "I'm apparently wearing 'really cool human clothing', As said by Selphia."23

"Tch." Wolf crossed his arms and turned away, "That's so weird. And not much happened at the Academy. Aya and I had a fight-"24

"Aww, Wolfie-poo had a fight with his little girlfriend!" Elliot teased, concern vanishing. 25

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!" Wolf cried, face flushing in embarrassment. "She's hardly even my friend at all! She's just annoying!"26

"Then why are you in such a bad mood?" Elliot asked.27

Wolf was silent for awhile. "Hey, we had aerial practice today!" He quickly swapped topics, "The wings made my back all itchy." 28

"Who are you talking to?" Selphia asked, leaning over to see the screen more clearly. She heard the white-haired boy muffle a shout. 29

"W-what the heck, Elliot!? Why didn't you tell me you where with a human!?" 30

"Slipped my mind?" Elliot offered. "Anyway, Selphia," He said, turning to the girl, "This is Wolf. He's a friend and student of mine. Wolf, this is Selphia - my assignment." 31

"Don't call me that!" Selphia said, slapping the angel on the arm. Wolf looked her over, fascinated. 32

"Humans...What a strange species. Do they all randomly hit others for no reason?" Wolf asked. Elliot shrugged, rubbing his arm. "I think it might just be her. She's a little weird."33

"HEY!! It's not weird to be offended when someone calls you an 'assignment'!" 34

"Actually, for angels, it kind of is." Wolf laughed into his over-sized sleeve, bad mood forgotten. "Anyway - this isn't just a casual call. I did some research on the soul snatchers this morning, like you wanted." He said to Elliot. 35

"What a good little student." The teen said, "But you said you had aerial practice today."36

"Yeah, but I left early," Wolf said, waving his hand carelessly. "It seems that the soul snatchers are on the move. They're all travelling to one place."37

"where?" Elliot asked, face serious.38

"Ampleton High school, in Ah....Ampleton." 39

Selphia's eyes widened, "That's here!" 40

"You think?" Wolf said sarcastically, raising an eyebrow. "There is a reason as to why I'm calling Elliot in the middle of the day, while he's at school." 41

Selphia huffed; face blushing the colour of her hair.42

"Thanks for informing us, Wolf. I'm sure that the organization would have left it 'till the last minute. How long do we have until they get here?" 43

"About three weeks until the last of them to arrive. But expect swarms of them before that." 44

"Right. But...what could be making them gather here?" Elliot asked, "there's no way they could have gotten word of the Angels here."45

"Angels? Like a plural? You mean there are more of you?" Selphia asked, having trouble keeping up. 46

"You already know my theory on the matter, Elliot." Wolf said, face dead serious. The older angel nodded, his expression on of contemplation. "It couldn't possibly be true, though..." he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. 47

The bell to signal the end of break rung then. "Aw, Dang." Wolf pouted. "I'm guessing that weird noise means you have to go."48

"Yeah, I'll call you later for an update. See 'ya." Elliot said, before ending the call. He and Selphia stood up, brushed themselves off, and started for their next class. 49

"So, what is that thing, anyway?" Selphia asked, referring to the angel’s phone. 50

"Hmm..." Elliot thought for a second. "It's kind of like, the Olympus equivalent to your iPhone...except better." 51

"Ah. I see." 52

TWO CHAPTER'S IN ONE DAY!!! AND ANOTHER ONE IS ON THE WAY!!!! YAY!!! xD54

Ok, My computer was totally stuffed, so my dad went and got it fixed. And, all the stuff I had on my newer hard-drive disappeared, and all the stuff I had on my old hard-drive came back. 55

On the upside - I was writing this story on my mum's laptop at the time. (And I happened to really want some of my old stuff back...)^.^"56

But, on the downside - my maths assignment is lost foerever. Oops.57
