a nice depressing chapter for everyone.
Chapter 5
I had been in the shelter of angels for about week, I don’t know whether it was their effect on me or just a strange coincidence but for the first time since she died I would visit my mother. Every anniversary of her death we hold a truce in her honour, by we I mean me and Skia. I pulled on a coat; the weather was appalling it was as if it too knew the depressing nature this day held in my heart.
“Where are you going scum?” Kio snarled, as you can tell over the week we have become very close and we have many pleasant nicknames for each other.
“To a graveyard.” I glared at him, I was not in the mood to have a battle of wits with him at the moment.
“Hmm, going to see one of victims are you?” he smirk malevolently, “Or are you going there to select a victim although there won’t be many people there in this kind of weather.”
“I’m going to visit my mothers grave you heartless B*st*rd.” I snapped back at him, he looked away slightly. I guess if it wasn’t for his pride he might have apologised, but at least he looked ashamed for what he said.
“… One of the angels has their court case today to find out what is going to happen to them… so I’ll all be out anyway. I would be happier with you out of the house if I’m not there.” Kio turned leaving me alone in the hall way, that was the nicest thing he’d said to me yet and even then he was saying I don’t trust you alone with my precious little angels. I opened the oak door and stepped out on to the wet pavement. The graveyard wasn’t far away, so I would walk there in human form.

The point of me wearing a coat had been destroyed by the time I reach my mothers tombstone, I was drenched to the skin. I peeled off the coat, throwing it behind me as I transformed in to my full demon form. ‘An angel, who’s kindness with live forever and a mother who sacrificed her self for her children.’ I fell to me knees as I read these words. “I’m so sorry, I…” I looked up a few yards away stood Skia with a girl. The girl was beautiful, just like her mother. Black hair and tears shimmering in her grey eyes. I fell forward my hands presses against the mud stopping me the rest of me from falling in the mud. “I’m so sorry” I sobbed, the years I had never thought of her or grieved her death caught up with me. Only now with me on my hands and knees, covered in mud, in front of her grave did I realise that she was really dead. “I broke you’re heart” tears streamed down my face, I couldn’t stop. “I’m so sorry… and I miss you. I miss you so much.” I closed my eyes and cried bitter tears of heartache and self loathing.
“Star…” it was my sister’s voice, but it sounded so much like my mothers. As she rested her hand delicately on my shoulder blade, the memories of 16 years ago came back.
