Chapter 1- Reality struck

They use to say that love works in funny ways. And we all have our "perfect match". But how do we know? I wish we had a radar that would beep once we found our other half. It'd make my choice easier. I'm in between two boys. Ash once was an angel, but lost his wings for me. He fell for me and I am possibly falling for the fallen. Then there is Silas. My overall best friend, who has stuck by my side through everything. Love does work in funny ways. But it also puts you in the worst situations. Choosing and broken hearts. If you don't choose the right one eventually your heart will be in pain. But that doesn't mean there are sunshine and rainbows on the other side. Everything has their ups and downs.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shadows surrounded me. The screams and cries for help echo in my ears. They stood over a helpless girl. Feeding off her soul while I was tied up to the bed. Watching and waiting. The girl stared at me, her green eyes pleading for help. I struggled against the chains, trying to free myself. The creatures  bit down on her arms, blood trickled down onto the floor. They quickly cleaned it up. Was I next? Her helpless screams echoed in the dark room. No one was around. No one could help. I looked around, desperate for an escape.

The creatures returned their attention to me. Destiny. They said with their harsh voices. I shut my eyes, attempting to shut them out. The attempt didn't work. They grabbed my arms. Digging their nails into me. I let out a cry of pain. 

Suddenly the scene changed. A soft hand caressed my scars from the hell hound. I opened my eyes to find a dark haired women singing softly. I watched her intently. She looked up at me with her red eyes.

"Destiny." She murmured. Her words were soft and sweet. They comforted me instantly. She undid the chains and pulled me into her arms. 

"Mom?" I asked, the words rolled out of my mouth without a thought.

"Yes it's me Destiny." She said softly then kissed my forehead. I Felt at ease. As if I had known her forever.

"Where are you?" I asked her as I felt her fading away to nothing.

"I'm in the inbetween, my dear. It's where immortals go when they die." She whispered. Her arms around me faded. 

"Mom don't go." I pleaded. She smiled softly.

"I'm never gone. Search for me in times of need." She said.

I jolted out of bed, clutching my chest. I looked around, where was she? Where did she go? I felt a tear run down my cheek. My breaths were short. The dream felt so real. I looked down at my scars and I could still feel her touch. So she's in the inbetween, huh? Maybe I can rescue her and my other mom. Then reality struck, how was I ever going to get there. What did the dream mean? I untangled myself from the blankets and made my way over to the balcony for the second time today.I needed to think

Author's Note

So were going through Destiny's thoughts. Her feelings. I know the chapter short. But oh well!

Questions:
Anything you agree on with Destiny?
The dream?
The whole thing?

Heat chapter everything was so vivid I felt like I was their

[Horizon K.]

Great chapter! You are getting into her thoughts and emotions deeper here which will help ( I think) the readers get a clearer vision of what it means to her to be a human or a demon (and btw how are the angels supposed to contrast with the emotions?). The dream was interesting. Not sure what the scene with the girl meant but I like that her mom is on the in between ... Love that concept!

[Dark Rider]

The dream was pretty cool. And the whole thing was great!

You pulled the reader in right away. Only criticism is maybe add some more detail. Its okay being short, but its so fast. Love the idea of the in between!

[The Fallen]

[The Fallen]

This is a great chapter! I would like to know more of Destiny's parents, especially her mom. Hope her dad speaks about her in the future. The whole radar love thing, I must agree with you. If you could find the right person ONLY, half of your life you won't waste it in the wrong person :)
Good job,
