Wake up sleeping beauty

  I woke up in the room that was to the right of Aloysius'. The room was designed like any other room pretty much. It included a bathroom and a walk-in closet. The only thing that separating it from the other rooms being its size. I'd say I woke up peacefully, with the sunlight shining through my room and the birds chirping But I didn't. Instead i woke up to the taste of metal flooding my tongue and clothes latched to my body. Enzo had thrown a bucket of water onto me.  

"Wake up sleeping beauty. You've got to get used to waking up at the ass crack of dawn like the rest of us. Or at least buy yourself an alarm clock."

"I'm up." I said sitting up in my queen size bed rubbing my eyes.

"Funny. He treats you like a queen and us like you're  guys' peasants or something, haven't even been here for one whole fucking day." He said walking out the room. I knew that enzo had it out for me since the moment he tried to take me life. Who knew how he really felt about all of this, Aloysius with his feather thing and all. Being the first person Enzo found and always having to answer to his ever need. 

After Enzo shut my bedroom door I got up and immediately searched for some dry clothes in the closet . It was full of clothes that were all color coded, shoes included. It wasn't till I took a moment to look around that I noticed Enzo left the light on. Something I thought I would obviously notice but didn't. Still I was glad he did because I wouldn't have seen the closet or the bathroom. After picking out an outfit and sitting it on the counter in the bathroom, I went and made sure the door to my so called room was locked. Something I felt idiotic about not doing the previous night.

Taking a shower was just what I needed to relax physically, since my depression pills were not there to help with the mentally part. I had been without them for I guess one day but it felt like an eternity. From the closet i grabbed a pair of leggings , black, and a grey T-shirt. I was comfortable. I didn't have to worry about buying a toothbrush, or toothpaste, or even clothes to wear. Maybe I was getting treated like a queen. A modern day one anyway. 

After  changing my clothes i though about what Aloysius had said about his attached feather to my soul. How he made me to be a complete female version of himself which led me into thinking where were my immortal abilities? My angel wings, my mood changing eyes, my immortality though i never wished to have that power. 

When I went to make my bed I noticed Aloysius' holster was leaning up against the side of it. The only thing different about it now was a strap so that it could hang around my body. Then I questioned what kept it hanging onto Aloysius' back, which probably was the strap. I guess I just hadn't notice it.

The sword felt like it weighed more than me. Which would be hard to get used to carrying around. I started thinking about my mother as I made my way up and out of the bunker and into the cabin. Thoughts ran through my mind like what's going to happen to her body? How longs it going to just sit there until the decaying smell of it reaches someones nose? Will people think I killed her? Will the cops be looking for me? Things like this weren't explained by Aloysius.

The small amount of light that trickled through the door above me made it almost impossible to see where I was going. Eventually I made it out with hand patting and a blurry memory of what it looked like yesterday. 

Everyone was sitting down in the living room on the couch. The only person that greeted me was Aloysius who covered the door up with the matt after I exited.

In the middle of the living room was a chair facing the couch with everyone on It. As I sat down in the chair that was obviously set out for me, Aloysius came and stood behind me.

"As you all know." He put his hand on my shoulder. "This is Lefu. I awkwardly adjusted in the seat as his sword made me uncomfortable. She is your sister and you will treat her as such. Or at least a friend. If she reports to me that any of you treat her in an unacceptable way, I will be sure to set you straight. You all are my children; you will act as I say."

No one looked an age over twenty 21, younger even when it came to Aloysius. He may act like someone very ancient but he surely didn't look it.

"On the far right of the couch is as you know Enzo. He's the party pooper here. And next to him-"He was naming them from right to left. "Is Neri. The meaning of her name is "Light of god." To me, the meaning of a name is very important, no matter the person. Of course beside Neri, is Sian. I think the only reason why their relationship is as good as it is, is due to the similarities between their names. His name means god is gracious. Now next to him is Amari, he's the quiet type. Though he seems sweet and nice he could kill you with his words. Literally." Amari looked up at me, and for a moment i thought he might cry. Our eye contact was long and meaningful, I couldn't tell if we were having some type of a moment of if my hair dried weird after i got out the shower. "Last is Ari. I found her after Enzo. Then came Neri, and Sian. Then Amari, and finally you. Every day we train to fight angels. Of course your training will began as soon as I think necessary, but for now just keep that sword handy."

"You gave her your sword?" Enzo stood up and immediately from his seat once he noticed the sword holster. His erratic behavior caused the others to all shift in position on the sofa. 

"Its for her protection Enzo." Aloysius said while hovering me. "Are we going to have a problem?"

At first he said nothing and just stood there. The furry in his eyes slowing spreading throughout the rest of his face then to tense his body. 

Aloysius walked over to him. The distance between the chair I was sitting in and the couch Enzo had been sitting on was small. It took Aloysius no time to go up to Enzo and wrap his right hand around his throat barbarically. Aloysius had Enzo beat by at least eight inches if I guessed their heights right.

"You and I have to speak." Aloysius said. The others just sat on the couch like nothing was happening. I guess they knew better then Enzo and would never think about standing up against Aloysius. Weird because he was there longer than the others, you'd think he'd know better too. 

Aloysius' wings unfolded from his back causing a sound of ripping from them exploding through his shirt. A look of horror suddenly appeared on all of the others faces. Aloysius' eyes were red again. Though everyone else seemed to be scared I thought watching Aloysius use his wings was a beautiful sight to see. Even if I could stop Aloysius from hurting Enzo, by the time I would have gotten up he would've already flown him outside the house. As he did.
