[For What It's Worth] Mew&#FFFFFF

[#FFFFFF]

Listening to what she had to say about it, Nickolai was actually rather anxious to get there now. He was following right behind her, his eyes set on the top of the slope. He was glad the cigarettes he smoked didn't really do anything to his lungs... Because if they did then he'd never be able to make it up this slope or walk anywhere for that matter because he would have cancer or something.
"Wow..." he said when they got near the edge. He quickly moved over to it and looked down, obviously enjoying how this looked. He then looked up at the horizon and he was just honestly amazed...
Sitting down, he put his legs over the side of the drop and leaned back onto his hands. His eyes were tracing all of the colors in the sky.
"Thank you for bring me here. I will most definitely be coming here at times."
Sadly, he couldn't break his habits long enough to stare at this view without something else... He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it. He then pulled it to his lips and sighed. This was honestly... A good moment for him.

Sjye was happy that he seemed to enjoy the view as much as she did, it had been a real comfort for her when she had sneaked onto the private property after her parents had died and discovered the place. She moved her hand to her neck to hold the small necklace there and smiled at the horizon.
Then she saw Nick pull out a cigarette out of the corner of her eye and pouted. "Seriously, first I have to put up with Liam smoking those things and now you!" she said as she threw her arms up in exasperation.
She didn't want to be a nag but smoking was one of those things that seriously annoyed her. Liam used to do it right in front of her because of that fact, thankfully he had lightened up on doing it in front of her but he still hadn't stopped completely.

[#FFFFFF]

Flinching when she said something about his cigarettes, he shook his head and sighed.
"Sorry... I can't help it. It's an addiction. I've been smoking for over 1,000 years... No use in stopping now," he said with a shrug. He then pulled it back up to his face and moved away from her a little. He made sure to turn his head away when he exhaled, not wanting to bother her too bad by it.
Honestly, there was no way he could quit now and that was the sad truth... He knew it would kill him if he didn't get anymore of these, but he really didn't want to admit it outloud... He just liked to make it seem like it was funny...
Even though it really wasn't... Smoking was something serious and he knew that... Though, he still couldn't bring himself to stop.
Sighing, he looked back up at the sky and went back to admiring the different colors.

[M e w]

Sighing, Skye walked the few steps he had put between them and admired the sky with him. She was wondering about just what had happened to him... why he had to be so unhappy. Then she sat down right next to him and just continued to watch the sky.

[#FFFFFF]

Sighing, he finished his cigarette quickly and put it out on the bottom of his shoe. He tossed the butt to the side and then looked back towards the sky, wondering what he was supposed to do now that he actually had someone to talk to...
"Well, well... Hanging out with your new girlfriend huh?" Leah asked from behind him. She placed his hands on his shoulders and gave him a shove, faking that she was going to push him off of the cliff.
"What the hell?!" Nickolai spat out as he turned around quickly and pushed her away from him. He really hated it when she touched him and she probably knew that... That was why she did it so often.
"Nick... I really need to finish what I was sent here to do..." she purred out at him, moving back over to him.
"And what would that be?" he asked, annoying.
"I was sent here to cut off your wings..." She seemed all too pleased about that, but Nickolai was honestly shocked.
Eyes growing wide, he was really confused by that. Why would his wings need to be cut off in the first place?

[M e w]

When Leah began speaking Skye was so stunned that she froze into place. How did she sneak up on us?!? she thought with cold shock.
The pain in her back seemed to flare up as if it sensed the one responsible was nearby.
She just turned with wide eyes to face the angel. She wanted to simply knock her out, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to, what should she do? She said she was going to cut of Nick's wings, she definitely couldn't allow that.

[#FFFFFF]

Shaking his head violently when she said she was going to cut his wings off, he was honestly surprised by that.
"Why the hell would you cut my wings off?" he asked, anger in his tone as he did so.
"God is tired of looking out for you... He told me so. He sent me down here to cut your wings off so he wouldn't have anything to do with your life anymore. As long as you have those wings, God still has to acknowledge your existence..." she said as she started to reach out for him.
That made Nickolai snap. He shook his head as tears stung the back of his eyes. All of that really hit home as he pulled his hand back and just full out punched her in the jaw. He watched as she crumpled to the ground, more so out of shock than pain. He didn't give her time to get up though. He quickly kicked her in the gut and then moved to the other side of her. He leaned down and put his face extremely close to hers.
"I don't care if God sent you here to cut my wings off. You aren't touching them EVER," he yelled and gave her body a nice healthy shove towards the cliff. "I haven't done anything to him when he's done everything in the world wrong to me. I refuse to allow you, him, or anyone else to take my wings from me."
Then, he pushed her off of the cliff since he knew it wouldn't kill her anyway. He honestly wished it would so he wouldn't have to deal with her again.

[M e w]

Skye just continued to watch in shock as Nick attatcked Leah. She was imagining herself fighting her, but her body wouldn't move like she wanted it to. These angels made her feel so inferior... since her parents died she had trained so hard, put in so much effort into becoming strong instead of defenseless. But these angels made her look like a baby, incapable of defending herself.
The only one she could think of that could possibly have a chance against them was Liam, and he had been altered by those in charge in order to be used as a weapon. He couldn't even control those powers given to him fully yet, so it was likely that even he would have a very tough time against them still.
She just looked up at Nick after he pushed Leah off of the cliff, and for a moment she felt anger towards him, or more like towards all of the angels, because of how powerful they were. How inferior she felt compared to them. It might have been jealousy but Skye didn't care to differenciate them. But as soon as she felt the feeling it dissolved, she knew she didn't hate him, far from it actually.
Slowly she forced her mouth to move. "Is... is she gone now?"

[#FFFFFF]

Shaking his head just as a noise was heard from below, Nickolai sighed. Leah had allowed her wings to catch her and she was flying off in a different direction now.
"Of course not," he said and pointed to her disappearing form in the distance.
Sadly, Leah hadn't though he would want to keep his wings that bad and she was actually panicking from the fact that he had attacked her like this. She was flying away as quickly as possible and she wasn't planning on coming back for a few days so that his anger could calm down and she might actually stand a chance.
Even though Nick was fallen... He was still much stronger than she was.
"I couldn't let her cut my wings off, so yeah... That was a little extreme, but I don't really care. It was out of anger," he said as he clenched his fists together.
It was obvious that he was still rather angry at all of this... He didn't know what to do now because she could know where he was at anytime...

[M e w]

Skye then let out a loud, exasperated sigh.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I mean, you're both ANGELS. What am I even doing in the middle of this? You probably don't even want me around you I'm sure. An act first, ask later kind of girl who gets mixed up in other peoples' business, of course I'm annoying! This is all way too big for me, so I don't know why I'm even here." she let out in one loud breath, voicing all of her emotions out loud.
She was so confused and frustrated with the whole situation by now. She really didn't know what she was doing in the middle of it.
How could she be of any use to him?

[#FFFFFF]

"Well... I really don't want you in the middle of it, but.." Nickolai said and then sighed. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at her.
"As long as you don't get in her way or my way then you honestly have nothing to worry about... I'm not looking to you for help in defeating her because honestly... I don't think there's anyway you could help me with that... I just... I really need someone to talk and interact with. I haven't had that in so long."
Looking down he sighed. "Though, since you're hurt I can understand if you don't really want to be around me too often. It is partly my fault that you're hurt as it is..."
Glancing towards the direction Leah was flying in, he was glad to not even see a small dot on the horizon. She was long gone and he was glad of that.

[M e w]

When she heard his reply she felt bad for saying what she did.
"I... I just feel like I'm not doing anything, and I hate feeling worthless," she told him sadly.
"It's not that I don't want to be around you or anything... I just... feel like I don't know where all of this is going. Everything is kind of a blur I guess."
She stood up and brushed the grass off of herself, then she stretched, pulling her arms high above herself.
"Well, I guess I should go back now, time to get to bed and everything. I'm supposed to be getting more sleep than I would normally get, for my back and all," she said.
Before she turned to leave, she told him one more thing, "Oh, and quit blaming yourself, it isn't your fault."

[#FFFFFF]

"I know what you mean. I've felt worthless more than one time in my life," Nick said with a sigh. He then looked down at the ground and shrugged. He felt helpless a lot, actually... Especially when he was just getting used to being on earth for the rest of his life...
Which wouldn't be too much longer if he kept this up and wasn't careful. He didn't like that thought because dying had never once crossed his mind and it wasn't in his plans either because he knew... That if he were to die, he'd go to hell and that just wasn't allowed to happen.
"I should get back too because I don't want to have another run in with Leah..." he said with a heavy sigh. He knew his life was going to be hell now.
When she told him it wasn't his fault, he cracked a wide smile. "Thanks. I'll try to remember that."
Starting to walk back in the direction of the fence, he figured they could walk back part of the way together at least... But apartment was quite a walk away.

[M e w]

Even though she had told herself that she shouldn't be involved in this angel business anymore, which included Nick, she couldn't help but be happy that he caught up to her to walk back.
"So, where do you live anyways?" she asked him, sincerely curious.
Do angels live in houses? she thought and then chuckled out loud.
That made her wish she had a house of her own, she mostly slept in the quarters provided for her at HQ. They were comfortable enough, but it wasn't the same as having your own place.

[#FFFFFF]

Stretching his arms out when he caught up to her, he laughed when she asked where he lived.
"Why, are you going to stalk me now?" he asked in a teasing tone. He then laughed some more and shrugged.
"I like in the Bellview apartments and have for a while now. It's a nice place... If you live alone anyway," he said with a shrug.
When they got to the fence, he jumped it with much ease this time. He was so much more sure of himself this time for some reason. Mavbe it was because he hadn't jumped a fence before... Or maybe it was because he'd gotten in a fight on the other side and won with no problem so it made him more confident.
Turning, he looked to her to wait for her to hop the fence as well.
