A Forbidden Love (Part IV)

The night's events were going quite smoothly and all tension had evaporated once the Angels and Demons began to socialize. The air was filled with laughter, music, the aroma of cheerful peace and good times. However, there were two people who were not partaking in the festivities. On opposite sides of the room, both Gier and Neve shared similar expressions of deep boredom. 1

Neve pressed her back against the cool wall and watched her parents talk to another rich, arrogant Angelman. "Jesus, why not just clip a tag on my ear and auction me off like a prime Cloudmoo? That'd be easier!" she snarled silently. Neve shot a glance towards the center of the dancing floor filled with dancing bodies when a glimmer drew her attention to the far wall beyond the floor. She spotted a man with gold-red hair and black wings. Seized by a desire to get a closer look at this male, Neve pushed herslef from the wall and began to walk across the floor. A cloud passed over the window, darkening the room.2

Gier was surprised that his father and the Devil soldiers were being so well behaved towards the Elders and Angelwomen. He watched his father talk to one group of Elders about old war stories and battle tactics, knowing the sinister plot beneath Arger's words. Sounds of giggling drew Gier's attention the the center of the room. Three young, wide-eyed Angelgirls were staring at Gier, obviously drawn to his good looks. As he smiled and turned away, something caught his eye. His body froze as a slender figure walked slowly towards him. Gier couldn't see the face but his body took over and began to move forward towards the figure. The cloud that had darkened the room disappeared as quickly as it had appeared sending moonlight flowing back into the room. Gier's heart stopped beating for before his eyes he laid eyes on the most beautful Angelwoman in all the worlds and heavens combined. He could not help but watch as this angel came closer. The moonlight played across her skin and hair like silver water covered in diamonds, her wings wrapped around her slender body and her eyes..."wait a minute, her eyes!" Gier thought. "they are the same color as the white bird's from my dreams!" He quicky dismissed this thought as foolishness and walked towards the moonlit angel. 3

Neve was struck dumb when she saw the face of the Devilman that had begun to move towards her. Like Gier she had dreams of a crow with unusual eyes, a black crow with sapphire blue eyes. This man had the same eyes. "Hmm I wonder if there's a connection?" Neve pushed the question aside and crossed over the dancing floor. Feeling electricity and power rush around her, Neve swallowed her shock and strange feeling in her chest and came face to face with the beautiful Devilman4

There was a crackle of electricity and power that streaked throught the air5
