Thread: The Forbidden Fruit {Meadowe x malin}

The demon woman let out a sharp laugh as he turned around. For her, it was victory enough to trick an angel of his caliber. She turned around to make her way back to her little den. Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on her back, like the sun, speeding toward her. She whipped around to see the feathers coming at her like arrows. Her amber eyes widened. Beyond the feathers she saw the angel wink at her as he took to the skies. No! she screamed just before the feathers embedded themselves in her body. It was the one that struck her right between the eyes that exploded first. That set off the others. The light that poured from them was invisible to the human eye and all onlookers saw was a girl who suddenly collapsed and died. ---- The black-eyed man neared Anna with another step. His face was blank as he looked at her. It seemed as though emotions were something foreign to him. The gruff voice from her headphones sang, everyone is hollow. An involuntary shiver rolled down her spine. Her hands, loosely holding the headphones, began to quiver. His hand reached into his leather jacket and he pulled something from its inner pocket. The sun reflected off the surface of it before it became clear to her. A dagger. Her breath caught in her throat and she took a step back. What the hell is going on? she thought. The man mimicked her step and neared her once more. He gripped the blade loosely in his hand and began to raise it up. It was then that a figure called out. Hey! Leave the girl alone. Anna's eyes flashed to the source of the noise. Her mind must have been playing tricks on her. Perched on a fire escape was a winged man. He leaped from his platform and landed between the two below. His words to the demon were drowned out by the sound of her blood surging in her ears. Confusion, anxiety and befuddlement was eating away at her sanity. Anna realized she could no longer see the auras of those around her. She frantically watched the man before her. His wing span was large. It was the color that struck her. Black. Though confused, she made out the part about him being her neighbor and the comment taken directly from a movie. Anna's eyebrow pricked up in disbelief and she shuddered. She was only a half block away from her apartment. If she ran, she could make it there safely. Her body buzzed as her flight or fight instincts kicked in. Anna let out a haggard breath before she backpedaled and booked it back down the alleyway. She ignored those that gave her judgmental looks as she ran. All that mattered was getting to safety. Her small body slammed into the glass front door of her apartment building. Swiftly she ran up the steps, taking them two at a time. Her hand was in her back pocket where she kept her key. Though she fumbled with the key and dropped it once, maybe twice, she entered her apartment within seconds. There was no rest for her once she was inside however. Immediately she bolted and locked the front door. She then went around her small apartment, locking the windows and closing the blinds. Once her security measures were complete she let the strength flow out of her body. Her knees hit the wooden floor with a dull thump. Breathing quickly she clutched either side of her head and tried to piece together what she just saw.
