Celeste stopped as soon as she saw the figure. Had he seen her? Panicked, she searched desperatly for someplace, anyplace, to hide, but just as she was about to run the figure turned.
He was dressed in a long, dark cloak with a hood, so his face was hidden from view. All she could see was the light glinting from his eyes. Celeste gasped and turned to run again, but then the figure spoke.
"Celeste" he said, with mock surprise. "Going somewhere?"
His voice sent chills down her back, and it scared her so much she stopped, terrified to move. His voice... it was cold, chilling, powerful... and familier. Celeste took a deep breath and turned to face him. He'd taken off his hood, and as soon as Celeste saw him she gasped. Her legs wobbled from shock, and she struggled to right herself.
"Angelo...?" His fair hair, his cocky smile, his ice blue eyes... what was he doing here? Angelo, the son of one of the higher angels. Who's father had been friends with hers since forever. Angelo, the boy she'd known ever since she was little. And the boy who'd fallen for her, several years ago, and the boy who's heart she'd broken when she said no. And ever since that day, Angelo never spoke to her again. He glared at her when they passed; their friendship was over for good. So why was he here now?
"Hello, Celeste," he said smoothly, obviously at ease. "Why are you here? You just got a promotion- you should be celebrating."
"I-I just got lost" Celeste stammered, but she wasn't ready to play this game, of lying and story-telling, and it showed. Angelo's smile got wider.
"Really? It's rare for angels to get lost around here" he continued. "Most of them stay far away."
"Well, I-" started Celeste, but then she broke off. What was there to say? He knew. She didn't know how, but he knew. She dropped her head.
"How did you find out?" she wispered.
"Finally confessing, are we?" snarled Angelo. His smile was gone, vanished, and his cold blue eyes flashed with anger. "I've been watching you, Celeste. I see you sit at that mirror, watching him, gazing dreamily off into the distance- disgusting!" He spat at the ground. Celeste began to tremble.
"But how..?"
"How did I watch you without you noticing?" Angelo finished, glaring. "I can be very stealthy when i want to be, Celeste. Besides, you're so love-sick, looking into that mirror, that a doubt you'd notice if the entire court came in.
*No* thought Celeste desperatly. *No!* She was shaking harder now, and she was so scared she felt nausous. "What-What are you going to do with me?" she wispered, but she didn't want to know.
"That depends," Angelo snapped. But then, suddenly, his smile came back, this time sweet and enticing, and he stepped closer to Celeste. "I could forget the whole thing, say it never happened, if" he spoke lower, "you marry me."
Celeste's mouth dropped open. "W-WHAT?!" she cried.
"It wouldn't have to be right now, of course." continued Angelo. "We are both young, after all. What would people think? Instead, we would see each other for a while, the perfect couple, until we are old enough to be wed."
Celeste prayed it was a dream. "And if I don't?" she gasped.
"Then," hissed Angelo, "I will drag you to your father, the court, everyone, and tell them what you have done."
"You have no proof!" Celeste screamed, hoping that someone, anyone, would come save her.
"Oh, but i don't need proof," smiled Angelo. "I believe you remember that member of the court? You know, the one that can tell if an angel is lying or not? He's only used in extreme cases... such as this one."
Celeste gulped. She indeed remembered.
"So what will it be?" wispered Angelo.
Celeste closed her eyes. She opened her mouth, about to say the answer that would save her from the court, but her heart stopped her. Her love... she would never betray it. She opened her eyes.
"I will never, ever marry you!!!" she screamed. "I will die before i do!!"
The last thing she remembered was a glimspe of Angelo's furious glare, him raising something over her head(a club?), and then everything went black.

Was that okay?? Sorry it's so long... Awww, poor Celeste 
Air was filling the southern wind. Glass made roof seemed thicker and thicker as if it was going down. It was strange, yet familiar. That feeling... that smell. Something was drawing near and that something was about to unfold the true secret about the world above and beneath.
The whole structure that angels lived on was enormous. The ceremony room was made from malachite and meteor stones, specially carved with Sun diamonds. They were truly a man of art to construct such a building. Center was divided in several districts with the main one being rounded in a circle with a statue at the center. The statue was so beautiful and yet so far away, it was believe that no one can see its true form and yet that it takes shapes according to our own desires.
"My mission is over..." These were the words from Gabrian. He felt at ease knowing that her daughter was finally an arch angel. He felt safer as he looked through the cloud balcony lifting just above the whole world. Knowing that her daughter made a right decision so could he finally go to rest. There was something that bothered him. Even if he trusted his daughter that much, he still felt that something might change soon... Something that he didn't expect.
~ooo~
Celeste was happy. She finally got the time to go and see him. Him, the one that she was waiting all this time. She slowly stood there, smiling, waiting for the moment for him to see her. But that was not possible, though she only could see him. She was ready and more eager than ever. She was ready to finally strike down and go to her loved one!
She finally made a step into the darkness that never slept. Flying, she arrived at the Northern Barrows, the gate to the world that every feared. Slowly she reached forward but something got in her way... There was another person waiting in front of her.. A dark figure, someone who suspected her interests. Interests that can not be done. Interests that may lead her to her own demise..
This is onlt being aloud because Kee (( AngelofDarkness)) has given us permission to use it so thanku my daughter, hope your on soon to play to ^_^
A (very) Short Story
An Angel fell for a Vampire King. But their love was forbidden for they came from two different worlds. So, they met in secret. Then one day, the Angel's father found out and told her if she was to stay with with the Vampire, she had to give up her wings. And she happily did. After she gave up her wings, she found out she was pregnant. She was happy and went and told her lover. He was happy as well and asked her to marry him. But then one day, when the Angel was in labor, she became sick. The King was so upset, that he offered her his blood, but she refused and after their daughter was born, she died.

With one last look at where her mirror had been Celeste trailed after her father on their way to the high court. The older angels in the court never explained anything very clearly and she didn't want to sit through another meeting when she could be watching her love.
On the very highest region of the clouds the court had mostly gathered. Some angels were late, as usual. Celeste and her father took their seats and waited quietly for the meeting to begin. Celeste didn't let her worry show on her face, that would do her no good if she were to be asked what was wrong. Then she would have to make some scenario up and keep to it for as long as needed, and she didn't want to do that.
All the members of the court had gathered and were preparing to speak. *Good, the sooner this is done the sooner I can see what he is doing* Celeste thought to herself, glancing up and down the table. The eldest court member spoke first, his slow words rumbling on for a few minutes. He paused, looking straight at Celeste, "Our dear angel of love will, this day, be promoted to an Arch Angel. Celeste you no longer have be a guardian if you wish." he stopped, waiting for her reply. Celeste blinked, it was so sudden. She half nodded, paused and said "I greatly appreciate the promotion." Feeling her father's warm gaze she met his eyes and smiled. Yes she was happy to be an arch angel but she still wanted to go back to see if her love was alright.
When the meeting finally ended Celeste made to leave but was crowded by the other angels, congratulating her on the promotion. Celeste smiled and thanked them all, itching to leave but knowing that it would be rude to do so. They all eventually filed away, and Celeste's fake smile faded from her lips. She sighed gratefully when they had all left.
Making her way back down to her mirror quickly but not so to make the other angels think she was in a great hurry, Celeste half walked and half flew down through the clouds. When at last she made it to her mirror she uncovered it and searched for her love. Finding him Celeste sat contentedly watching his movements. Her promotion was already at the back of her mind, it was least important to her right then.
~~
Hope that was ok! Yay promotion! :D eheh...
Celsete looked out towards the the main lands, thinking of one person and one alone. A sigh emitted from her lips. *I miss him so* She thought to her self with a sad wavering inner voice...
Oh how it was horrible to be in love at times, the torture of not being able to see that person all the time, because of being discriminated by such a courting. She felt her eyes sting.. She could not help who she fell in love with, despite the fact that she had promised the oath of light towards all main land folk... after all, she was a higher being in her own right and such a courtship with one such as him was blasphemey when it came to Angels like her.
Her father would deffinatly not allow it. The thought of her father finding out, scared her more then anything... *what would he do if he found out? How can I hide such a love? Especially with such a soulless creature?*
Celeste beant her head, her long black locks of hair falling loosely where they dangled, obscuring her face from view. She may not have met the man that had stolen her heart away, -like a merchant who stole goods from rich folk and sold them off without a care in the world- But from the place in which she spied all she always took time out of her busy schedual to make sure he was ok by dropping in on him from time to time,
Celeste Sighed and looked over at her father, her wings drooping. 'Must we go up to the high court father?' They never really explain anything about the new world and what may come. She looked bored. Could I just stay here and watch the people some more?'
Her bright Sky blue eyes looked over at her father innocently, she knew they had a puppy look to them, that her father could hardly ever resist. 'My daughter, you are young I understand. But as an angel of love, you are bound to go up ranks soon, you must come so as they would seem to think you worthy of such' He had a stern but loving friendly look towards his daughter and like her the clear blue eyes, his hair wavy and slicking back over his head loosely and in a natural manner, he had the look of youth within his facial features, the only thing that was giving his age away was the wisdom within his deep, all seeing eyes.
Celeste sighed. 'I guess your right father. Being promoted to arch angel is so much better then being a guardian, but I will miss this job' She got up from her sitting position. Her peachy white toga falling loosely around her legs. She looked down again at her mirror, seeing the man who she loved walking towards an alley.. no doubt bargaining away something of some sort. Her eyes gave a worried glaze and then she sighed trying to ignore the feeling and moved her arm over the seeing window within the clouds before her father could come over and see what or whom she was looking at and question her reasons of it. *It needs to be a secret* She told herself sternly. *No one must ever know* She looked over at her father after watching the clouds start to swirl and drift into a mass, where the looking glass used to be then gave her father a bright smile. 'I'm ready father... I will not let you down and I will make you proud' She said. She was good at putting on a show of trust. Deep down however she always had that niggling feeling of guilt knowing she had fallen for the darkest being ever to exsist on the main plain...
Celeste had fallen in love with a vampire.
