Be Careful What You Wish For

"Let me go, you physco freak" I screamed at Vic while hitting him. He tightened his grip around my hips and I kicked, jumped and wiggled with no progress. It's as if his arms were made of steel.

"Please Kellin, calm down" he whispered lightly and his face seemed to have a distraught expression.

"I'm going to take us somewhere we can talk about this" he told me and before I could say no, we were inside one of the tents, one similar to the other night. He must have taken us to the new city they were performing in.

"Victor! Take me back! You're going to get me in so much trouble!" I told him and my panic started to set in. What if he never lets me go back home?

"Hush, love. I'm going to let you go now, okay? Don't think about running away, Kellin." he calmly said in a none threatening way.

He released his grip and I struggled for breathe. Not that he was holding onto me so tight it hurt, more because I couldn't calm down. I thought about running for a second but I knew with his strength and capability, I'd be lucky to make it outside. There was a small cot-like bed in here with a basket of clothes, wine and a mirror. He sat on the bed and motioned for me. I sat as far away as possible from him, until I was almost sitting on the floor.

"My name is Victor Vincent Fuentes. I'm your soulmate." he told me with such seriousness that I couldn't help but fall off the bed and laugh. This had to be some sort of joke. I must have died on an acid trip.

"Kellin, please let me finish. I'd like for you to take this seriously." he told me and the mood in the room shifted, I suddenly felt guilty for my outburst and got back on the bed, remaining quiet for a ew seconds.

"What are you? And more than that, what am I?" I said the words slowly because I wasn't sure I wanted to know. He reached forward and grabbed both of my hands, I let him. He softly placed a kiss on either one of the back of my hands and that same fire like warmth spread through me.

"I'm a fallen angel. I was once in heaven but my father felt as though I betrayed him. So, he stripped me of my angel title and sent me here as punishment. On earth I am known as a spirit. Father gave me this body after many years of repentance, he would not allow me back into heaven but he made it so that I could be seen and live with humans. As of now, you are a human but the more time you spend with me and the others, the stronger your powers will become. You're a halfa. Half human and half unknown supernatural." he told me and i let the information soak in for a moment. What he was saying made a lot of sense but it still felt very strange to accept it.

"Why don't you know? Will I ever know?" I asked him with disappointment. He noticed the change of my mood and removed our hands so that he could caress my face like the night before.

"I don't know because it has yet to be decided. Coming into your powers the first time, depends on who you are with. If you spend the next few years with demons or vampires, your powers will be evil. But if you stay with me and our little family they will be positive." so much confusion. I pressed my fingers to my temples and shut my eyes tight.

"Vampires are real too? What else is out there, Vic? I'm so afraid" I couldn't help but say the last part. I'd been living in this world where everything I thought was made up, was actually alive and powerful.

"Vampires. Demons. Angels. Werewolfs. Gods. Ghosts. if you can think it, it's probably true" he said and almost seemed sad about it.

"Why did you get kicked out of heaven? Was everyone here once an angel? Do you have wings?" the last question made him chuckle and kiss my forehead, I heard him mumble something about me being cute. I was trying to avoid the topic of what else is out there and also, I was pretty curious.

"I was kicked out because back in the 1400's there was this family who jumped town to town, robbing places for money. A couple with a two year old baby. They were beggers and didn't want their child to be like that. So, they stole and stashed most the money away. Father was displeased with the life they chose so as punishment, He was going to drown their daughter." the ex-angel tensed up a bit and took a moment to compose himself before looking back at me and continuing the story.

"The little girl started suffocating and I just couldn't watch it anymore. So, I rushed down to earth and took her to her parents. When I got back up, He was in a wrath of anger. Telling me I had interfered and distrusted Him by sabotaging the plan. I begged Him to see that killing the daughter was not right but He told me that He had a plan for the child and the parents. He said I no longer trusted that what He was doing was right. So, He took away my angel title and set me down to earth as a lost soul with no powers and no way to communicate with anyone." Vic looked away in shame and something came over me, possibly sympathy.

I reached up and connected our lips together. I could tell he wanted more by the way he grabbed at me and pushed our bodies closer, like this would be the last day we'd see each other. I only meant for it to be a peck but once they touched, I couldn't help myself. Desire overtook my body and all of my senses came alive.

My taste buds flooded with a strong sweet sensation and his tongue glided around, gentle yet dominant. The smell of a fall breeze suddenly filled the air and it was as if we were laying in a lavender field. Even though, my eyes were closed I could envision a flash of light, like fireworks. My body start to heat up so much that I pulled away in a bit of pain.

I gasped and he suddenly pushed away from me. A bewildered look in his eyes and he hid his hands, afraid to come near me. I sat there for a moment until I felt my body temperature go back to normal. Apologetic was written all over his face.

"I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget that humans are not used to our ways of romance. Our bodies begin to radiate heat to create a more calm atmosphere and our saliva is filled with whatever we choose. Poison or a sternum that is made by the heavens." he explained to me and I just replied with it was okay. The information was overwhelming and I only wanted a couple more questions answered.

"Why did you do that though, Kellin? I thought you hated me." Vic told me with a sad edge to his voice and when I looked up at him, I noticed how beautiful and god-like he is.

"No, I never hated you. I thought you were pulling a prank on me and I also thought you were a little bit creepy. You just frightened me a bit. I did it because you seemed torn and I just wanted you to feel okay and I guess, I kind of wanted to do it too." I spoke with honesty and felt a bit embarrassed by admitting the last part.

"So, anyways, can you answer the questions about everyone being an angel and having wings?" i asked him, trying to get off this topic, still a bit unsure of how I felt of everything.

"Mike and I are the only fallen angels here. He was kicked out right after me for standing up to Father in my behalf. Tony was once a human like you but has since become one of us after bonding with Mike. Jamie is a vampire. They are relatively evil but he didn't want to live that life so he abandoned his family and came with us. There are other spirits here to help with the show but they come and go as they please. You will meet them but some are shady and you should be weary of." he warned me and I suddenly felt uneasy over his last words. I was happy that Mike had stood up for him at the time, at least someone had.

"We do have wings but they are broken. Feathers missing and they are completely dark black. They can work but are extremely painful" Vic said to me and I moved closer to him, just wanting to be next to him.

"Do you have any more questions, love?" Vic asked sweetly while taking me into his arms and leaning against the wall with me on his stomach.

"Yes. Why me? Why was I chosen to be your soulmate? How do you know this is true?" I asked and moved closer to him, relaxing in his grip.

"I do not know that answer either. I do however now that you truly are my soulmate, Kellin. If I had one slight bit of doubt, I would have never told you any of this. If any regular human knew of this, it would mean absolute and total war between hell, heaven and earth. The world would be out of balance and I can't take that chance." he rubbed my back with his arm up and down and I could feel my eyes getting heavier but I fought to stay awake.

"How do you know for a fact that I am the one though? That's what I meant" I told him, barely above a whisper as I moved up and down with his breathing. I was still unsure of my feelings but I did miss the feeling of being in someones arms.

"I know this because after Tony and Mike got together, I went mad. I created chaos over here and I just did a lot of wrong, Kellin. I overheard some of the workers here speak of a powerful gypsy who could tell you whatever you needed. So, I went and saw her. I asked if I had a soulmate and when she said yes, I asked to see who it was. She showed me a vision of the first night we would meet and you would remember it. I didn't know any details about what century, what place, how. I just had to wander around and hope for the best. When I heard Jamie screaming, I knew you were here. I remembered hearing those words and when i entered and saw you; I just knew." he whispered the words into my hair and I started feeling myself drift off.

"C'mon, my love. Lets get you home." he softly said into my ear but for some reason, I didn't want to leave.

"Can I stay here? Just for a little bit." I told him in a sleepy voice and looked up to see a smile appear on his face. He lifted my head up with a finger under my chin and kissed my cheek, still somewhat afraid to hurt me.

"Of course, darling. Go to sleep, I'll still be here when you wake up. Promise." he said to me and I felt my body relax, eyes shut and breathing slow down until I was completely under.
