Abel saw the girl's face as she stepped into the doorway. She was worried, almost to the point of tears, and it was so obviously written across her face. He fought off the urge to scoff at her. He had been trained his entire life how to lie, how to keep his face still and tranquil, conveying no emotion whatsoever. He knew what a useful skill it was. But this girl knew nothing.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhdjY2c1k

He smiled. The easier it was to kill her, then.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBtA9cs1N

He watched as she realized what was going on, when everyone in the room besides him and his companion Ravenna jumped to their feet and shouted "Happy Birthday!" First, surprise flashed across her face, then anger, then glee. Human emotions were so futile, Abel thought.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABrajegTQ3

He noticed his companion, Ravenna, was watching the girl, her dark eyes shining. "Do you feel that?" she asked, leaning forward in her seat. Abel couldn't tell if she was leaning towards him or the girl.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdIbgbnC4

"Feel what?" Abel said innocently, taking a sip of the bitter coffee that had been served to him. He grimaced. He had always detested coffee.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZlen0GlM6

"Don't play dumb," Ravenna scowled. "She's an ANGEL." She hissed the last word, like it was poison on her tongue. "I know you can feel it. And you know what we do with their kind." She started rising up out of her seat, wanting to go over to the girl, but Able stopped her with a low, rough sound in his throat. He reached across the table in one swift movement and pushed her lightly back into the chair. She obliged, a quizzical look on her face.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMtHrefgmH

"She's mine," Abel said fiercely, and Ravenna understood. A small, cruel smile quirked at the corner of her mouth.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XFBvuPShi

The girl was his to kill. He had heard all about her his entire life, how dangerous she could be, though still untrained. This was the first time he had actually seen her, and he had to admit he was disappointed. He had hoped for at least some competition. But this, this was pathetic. And to think, she was supposed to have been his EQUAL. He almost laughed at that. She was no match for him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVsaHYNf2G
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNCRrgCJyH
Of course, he knew her name. But she would never be more than "Girl" to him.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKENHmR9lZ

She was sitting with her friends, a tall, lanky boy with black hair and a short, curvy girl with dark skin and caramel curls. They were in the corner booth, right by the window. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhPSOvPQdt

It was the girl's friend that noticed him watching her first, the one with curly hair. She leaned across the table and whispered something to her, covering her mouth. Abel knew she was telling her that he was staring. 972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKpbXwVvP9

The girl looked over to his table, and their eyes met. Abel gave a sharp gasp, like he had been stabbed, and resisted the urge to double over, clutching his stomach. He felt a slow, painful burn over his entire body, and he could tell she felt it too. Her eyes widened and she cried out. Abel knew he was staring, but he couldn't bring himself to look away. Her eyes held him, just like his held hers.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8mN28YDF0

And then the sensation passed. He knew what it had been. It was because they were Equals. She was the angel to his demon, and he would kill her. No matter what.972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom4gvVU7Y5

She was still staring at him, and he smirked. It was time. He got up out of his chair and started walking over to her.
