In a normal morning in September Exek Rond a sophomore at Felington High School, a straight A student with a scholarship to Harvard, a week after school started, Exek woke up like any other day. As he didn’t know that day would change his life. When he woke up, his whole family was looking at him with, shocks in their eyes. ”So… good morning?” said Exek. “Dude what the hell, look at your back,” said Luc, the middle child of the family of 3 boys, a 13-YEAR-old troublemaker. “What do I have?” asked Exek with a shock in his face like when he was 5. He got up and his legs felt the wings were too heavy on his back but he didn’t know where the weight was coming from. Exek rushed to the bathroom pushing his little brothers out of the way. As he got in and saw his reflection he saw angel wings attached to him, but one was black and the other one was white, in kind of a surprise shock he jumped up and said “Hell yeah, I got wings, this is the best day ever.”
Even though it was going to get worse, and his birthday was in May he believed that this might have been one of God’s gifts to him. ”So how do you feel son?” Exek’s dad asked with a feeling that he wasn’t going to like it. “I feel great, never before in my life did I think I was going to get wings,” responded Exek with a smile in his face that showed excitement. After breakfast he told his parents he was going out to practice flying. “With out a shirt? You’ll catch a cold,” Exek’s mom said, while doing the laundry. “Can I cut an old shirt so my wings can get through?” Exek asked his mom. “Sure but I’ll sew it if the hole is too big” said his mom while getting him a toast. By the time Exek was done fixing his shirt it was 7:00 am, so he only had 20 minutes of practice, because his first priority was to go to school.
Minutes later when he got the hang of it, his mom asked offered him to take him to school, but stubborn as he was, he denied and took some shades and gloves so he wouldn’t get cold flying. “Today is going to be the greatest day of my life,” thought Exek, not knowing it my not be like that. By the time he got to school it was 7:30 am, and the bell had already rung, so it was too late for him to be with his friends. Before going in 1st period he thought of many things that the students might ask him but the only answer he had was “I just woke up with them on.”
As he walked in all the eyes in class went from the teacher to his new wings as everyone saw them their faces light up. His two friends Gloria and Jose looked at him with the same glare his family did. The teacher Professor Thornheart told the class to act natural and for Exek to sit in the back until they got in groups to do a science project that most of the students in the class didn’t want to do. The class did what they were told and so did Exek. After the Professor gave rules and regulations about the lab project he told everyone to make groups of two or three, Exek, Gloria and Jose all sat in the same group like always.
“How and why did you get your wings?” asked Gloria. “Come on guys I don’t want too much attention on me, I just woke up and they were just there,” said Exek in a low voice. “So can you fly or not?” Asked Jose. “Well I'm new to it, but I can manage it, even though I suck at it,” responded Exek truthfully. At the end of the period the Professor couldn’t hold it in and asked Exek a lot of questions. Exek did his best trying to answer them but as he thought them through he didn’t have that many answers.
On the way to 2nd period all the eyes in the high school were fixed on him. In the middle of the hall he was the only one walking while the other student stood looking at his wings. When he got in Mr. Pickle’s room again everyone and his friend’s eyes were sucked at his back. “So Exek how, what, when, why, you huh?” Pickle stood in a daze. “Don’t worry Mr. Pickle I just woke up with them on, why I don’t know; how I don’t know either, when, I think I got them I’m the middle of the night,” said Exek to break the silence, “I’m going to sit in the back so I don’t bother other students.”
“Please,” said the teacher, “Ok students try not to make much deal about it, Exek might answer everyone’s questions at the end of the period.” He sat besides his good friend Leanne Ellefson, older than him by some months, which made her more mature; she also asked him a bunch of questions where he only had half of the answers.
Several minutes before the bell rung he told everyone the same thing he told everyone in 1st period, part of the students were amazed some thought he was a freak, he didn’t really care about the comments everyone made. Since he had 3rd period with most of the students he only had to tell Mrs. Smith about it.
In lunch it was the same as in the halls, everyone looking at him asking questions. After he was don’t eating he went out to the court yard to show some people the wings weren’t just for display and they could be used. When the bell rung he went to Mr. Jato’s class, his friend Leanne was there so was her weird but good-looking sister, he told the story how he woke up with the wings on and then the class went to work. Doing PE in 5th period was hard because it was fitness testing week. As his new friend Jennifer, saw him she said “Exek are those real?” kind of afraid. “Yea they are,” answer Exek with a confused look, “Why is there a problem?”
Then Elissa and Stephanie walked in class with their faces lit up. They also had questions, but one of them troubled him. “So are you with the devil?” said Jenny, “Of course not, how dumb do I look,” was Exek’s fast response. In the whole period he got asked a lot of questions. While the class was going, Julio and Alex his friend also asked him weird questions like, did your parents have sex with angels, or are your parents angels, Exek thought most of the questions over and over and they became more clear by the hour. Changing was pretty hard; the rest of the school time was the same, except that he took some of his friends flying one-by-one.
When he got home his parents laughed with him, on some of the question he was asked. One response he got from his mom was that she was a descendant of a women that had sex with an angel, Exek thought of everything hat had happened to him in his life to that day, it didn’t all make since so he called his grandmother. She told him that he was a half-breed, not knowing what it was he asked her to explain she said that in the past humans and angels had sexual interactions. She also told him that there might be some people trying to kill him because half-breeds are abominations to god’s eyes, so when ever he saw a person in white suit and golden swords that he should leave everything and run. Exek asked her who had sex with the angel, she told him she didn’t quite know, but thought that all half-breeds were killed.
The day after that he didn’t fly to school and kept it on the down low. He responded many of his friend’s questions; they couldn’t believe he was a descendant of an angel. The first week it was fine, then things settled up and school was back to normal.
Months later, two groups of people came looking for him. One group was all black and had silver swords. They said they were there to protect him. The second group was the group with white and gold swords; they were the ones who wanted to kill him.
To his knowledge he chose neither side. He told his friends he was going to have to leave for a while; some took it hard some just asked if he was going to come back. Ones he was done he went home and told his parents he was going to study something, he didn’t know any thing about.
In his research he was told that he was worst than a half-breed because he had one angel and one demon wing, which shows that he is not human but a descendant of an angel and a demon which made him even worst. The people who were looking for him are modern knights, the black ones were sent from the gates of hell to take care of him and then the other knights were sent from heaven to kill him. In those months he learned everything there was to know about what he was.
He came back in April almost when school was over. With all his knowledge he was ready to face any one. On a Monday he got to school there was something wrong that he saw, most of the students had black or white suits and were arguing. In 1st period he had to sit with a bunch of them the only ones that hadn’t chosen a side were his friends. In second it was worse everyone had on even Leanne but hers was black. Since the students couldn’t fight in class time they did it out of school. After seeing what he had done he decided on a reasonable idea. At the end of the day before the bell rung there was an announcement saying that there was going to be a mandatory assembly that all the students have to attend to.
The big day had started, the student in white sat in the opposite side with the student with black, some didn’t really wear the color but sat where wanted to be. Exek got up in front of the school and said, “Because of me there has been a divided opinion on who is going to help me or kill me. I really didn’t want this to come to an end like this so I’m going to do what’s right,” he paused for a moment and continued with his eyes closed, “Today I’m going to sacrifice myself so that this will end.” As he said that many students got up and started arguing. “Quiet!” shouted Exek. The school went muted. “I’m going to did this so no one gets hurt nor dies. Since today is my last day I want the leaders from both sides to give me their swords,” the leaders did as they were told.
Exek set the swords to his side and told the leaders to sit. “Here are the two weapons that will kill me. I want all of my friends to come here,” all of his friends did what he said and were all lined up, surrounding him. “Friends this year has been so great being with all of you, now I have to leave, I don’t want you to kill your selves nor feel sad I just want you to live your lives at the fullest,” after he said that he opened his eyes and saw the sad faces arguing “Now that I see you all for the last time I give you all a quote,” he paused and said while everyone looked at him. “NOW THAT LIFE HAS STARTED DON’T WASTE IT IN SMALL PURPOSES BUT SET MANY GOALS TO ACCOMPLISH,” as he said that he picked up the two swords and put them in an X formation with his head between the blades. Many of them gasped but as he spread his wings the last thing everyone heard was “Bye.” Then he cut his head off. The body was still up but no blood was coming out. The feathers that were in his wings been to get unclipped, when the last ones fell that were gold feathers; there were enough for each one of his friends. In every feather there was the name of the person whom he wanted to give it to. Just as everyone got their feathers, Exek’s body fell on its knees and crumpled in dust.
The knights also fell in dust because their job was done. Leanne gave Exek’s parents the swords to remember their son.
<<<...>>>
Summer of 2008, he was back better than ever. He came back the same way he left. Nothing had changed, except that he had come for his feathers and friends.
A month after summer started, he went back to were he used to live. Just by luck his parents were there. Seconds after he rung the bell his mom rushed at him with tears and hugged him. “I thought you were gone.” She said firmly. “I was but I came back to finish my duty” Exek responded. “I came back to get the feathers and their owners.” Exek’s parents enrolled him into Felington High, and spent most of his summer searching for his friends.
Before school started he had spotted 3 of them. Elissa, Jenny, and Leanne; he didn’t say a word to them. Then the big day came. September 9th, the first day of school. When he walked in school ready to start, he had changed his appearance so that no one would notice him. His hair instead of being black it was burnet. He wore blue contacts to hide his brown eye.
In first period, which was trigonometry, he found Jenny and Leanne. He was known as Nick instead of Exek. Weirdly the teacher sat them together. “Hi” Nick greeted them. “You look really familiar” the girls said confused. “So how have these two years gone by with you two?” He asked knowing that they would recognize him. “What… wait, Exek is that you?” Asked Leanne, in shock. “How could you have come back and why did you?” Blurted Jenny. “Well I never left” he said while the girls had a daze look in their eyes. “So why did you come back?” Jenny asked. “I came to get back my feathers and everyone that I gave them to.” He continued, “Since it’s been long I’ll tell you what happened.”
Heaven or Hell, I am destined to be stuck in the middle. When I “died”, I felt my body crumble. I’m the past two years I’ve been sitting in the middle of God and Lucifer argue. They argued weather I should be in Heaven or Hell. Also they argued if the thousand years of peace should happen. They came to a conclusion which neither of them liked, nor did I. god said that I was to come and collect the feathers and friends, he also said that no one in the world should know about this other than me and you girls. Lucifer wanted for me to go to Hell with everyone else. So it came that they sent me here.
“Wow, o much time to decide if you live?” Leanne asked. “Well yes and no, part of the time I was learning from both sides. God wanted me as his left hand in charge of everything and Lucifer at his right hands in command of the gates of Hell.” He explained. As the period ended he tried to locate the rest of the guys, with the help of the ones he begun to find.
By 6th period he found most of them, except for Jacob and Kathy. The day later he did some research and found out that they had been transferred to a different school. Several days later he found them and told them he would have a meeting at his house.
The day of the meeting he told all of them what he had told Leanne and Jennifer. They decided to go with him. As they all got their feathers the spiritual war begun. The thousand years of war had corrupted. All of Exek’s friends made it and so did he. Exek wanted to go to war but God wouldn’t let him because hell wanted to go after him instead of the other angels. While being in God’s castle he saw everyone fight while he was sitting in the left of the throne reading the seven scrolls of life.
After the first day of war most of the demons were greatly damaged and so were the angels.
“Why can’t I help for a little while then when it gets bad ill get out?” Exek asked God. While they both sat waiting for Gabrielle’s response on how the war was going. “If you go there won’t be a defense in the castle and Lucifer might as well be crowned king of time and space. Besides that title belongs to you for the good of man kind and when the time comes you will be able to use your destiny at your fullest.” Said God with a sincere smile in his face witch told Exek that he was the only defense that Lucifer wasn’t going to get trough.
Half way to the war Lucifer decided to surrender. Seeing that the only way was to be backing worshiping God. Exek didn’t like the way he looked when he said it. Exek’s time was near to fulfill his destiny. Knowing that this wasn’t going to end up good, Exek decided to stop war time and to restore peace in the world so that the ones living there could help fight off demons. By doing so he restored peace to the fullest in several years. When time came he sends everyone to heaven and help. As the war continued he continued to recruit more and more souls. Hundred years later every thing stopped and they won. God banished Lucifer into a dungeon sealed by ten angels with swords of fire like when he did at the begging of time when Adam and Eve decided to eat the fruit of wisdom.
NOT FINISHED YET ^_^
