Chapter 2 - Superhuman Power

Mr.Private parked the car in front of a dilapidated cabin located in the outskirts of the city. He got out and went to carry Mart from the passenger seat where he saw him crying silently to himself

 "Did I drive too fast?" he carried him. "Sorry, I thought you could handle it"

 "You apologize a lot for an Angel" Mart cleaned his running nose

 "It's just nature. Dangels disguise as humans most of the time. We're not allowed to hurt humans so, whenever you hurt us, we'll just say sorry, sorry"

 Mart giggled "Okay, and no, I'm not crying because you drove too fast"

 "Then, what caused your tears?" He cleaned it for him

 "You promised not to kill me, remember?" Mart looked up at him

 "Well, I didn't exactly promise, but I won't kill you, don't worry"

 "Promise me, right this instance. No questions asked"

 "Okay. I promise"

 "Now I'm relieved"

 "Uhm..."

 "Oh right" Mart started crying again. "Mr. Dangel, why are we at this creepy cabin? If you're not going to kill me, send me back to where you found me. I can find my way from there. I promise, I won't speak a word to anyone. Infact, I never saw you, ever"

 "Wow! You have such wild speculations"

 "Mr. Dangel, blame it on my love for horror movies. I've watched but a lot"

 "Stop ranting. I didn't kill you there, I won't kill you here. We're here for my friend, Aiden. He's a specialist in treating Dangels that get injured when working" He picked Mart up

 Mart was silent. He was short of words even. How could an Angel be a Demon at the same time. This man was not to be trusted. What if he's a human trafficker? No, he just witnessed the man's power, there's no way in the world. But what if he uses his power to traffic people? No, what would he gain from that? He could rob banks or work for the mafia instead.

 "Hey, human, are you listening?" The man asked

 "Yeah! I was just dizzy that's all"

 "We better hurry". He pressed the doorbell and whispered a certain word into it. Sounded like 'Dangel'

 The door opened and he carried Mart inside.

The inside of the small almost-breaking-apart cabin looked like heaven. It was entirely white and decorated with all sorts of flowers which were attached to the walls in half length.

 There was a fountain too. The water coming out of it was unusual. The water was divided into four and they don't mix together. The colors are red, sparkling blue, Green and White. A staircase went across the fountain. It was also decorated with flowers and an extremely bright light shine from the end of it.

 "Beautiful" Mart said without realizing it

 "Me or the view?" he said in a flirtatious tone

 "A lot of both. Can you put me down? I want to feel the flowers"

 "They might look beautiful, they're very deadly to humans"

 "In that case, don't mind if I don't"

 He took Mart up the stairs. They came across a white suspicious looking wooden door. The Dangel kicked the door open and took Mart inside. It was just an empty room with surprisingly many bunk beds. He laid Mart down on one of the beds.

 He stood next to the bed, loosened his belt and removed it from his pants.

 "Mr. Dangel, I completely understand the type of situation you're in, but you also have to put in mind, my not so very attractive condition as well, as I am not fit to sleep with you as of now. Maybe when your friend is done treating me" Mart said as he position himself to look at him properly

 "What nonsense are you talking about?"

 "Mr. Dangel, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I didn't reject you. I just said I'll sleep with you some other time. So, you can put your belt back on" Mart clarified himself

 "I'm using the belt to send a signal to Aiden. He needs to know I'm here, don't flatter yourself" he threw the belt at a bell, hung very high up at the center of the room

 "Invitation's always open still. An Angel isn't that all bad...... I'll stop talking now"

 "What's it this time? The Host didn't tell me nothing 'bout no Angels coming down here" A slim black guy with silver hair suddenly came out from the bell

 "Aiden, it's been too long" He said to him

 "No, it's not. Don't try to sweet talk me, Ekeil. You woke me from a very nice dream and I'm in no good mood to talk to you. So, cut right to the chase" Aiden cleaned his face with a rag

 "Aiden, I'd like if you'd treat this human and maybe start calling me Zekeil instead" Ezekiel told him

 "Since when did I start treating humans, Alka?" Aiden went over to where Mart was sitted

 "Since when I caught you doing it. I also happened to see you kissing a Demon in the alley the other day. It would be unfortunate if I were to report this to the Host. What a pity!" Ezekiel stared at him

 "Hey, you know it well that Demons are exceptionally attractive. I have my insecurities too. What is your name boy?" He asked Mart

 "It's Martin, sir" Mart answered

 "It's Mister sir to you, Munchstipher"

 "Uhm, it's Martin, Mister sir"

 "Shut up, Luther. I'll find a potion to clear you of all diseases" Aiden went back into his belly

 "Actually, Mister sir, I was hit in the head with a plank and-"

 "Have a rest human, he won't hear you" Ezekiel pushed him back to the bed

 "Does he ever listen? He got my name wrong twice. Besides, why is an Angel living here? Shouldn't he be in heaven or something?"

 "Not all Angels work in heaven. Also, he's not an Angel"

 "He's a Demon, then"

 "Not a Demon"

 "Oh, he's a Dangel like you. Makes sense" He shook his head

 "Not a Dangel either"

 "What? What kind of being is he then, that he's not Andel, Demon, or even Dangel?" Mart asked in confusion

 "Are you seriously asking me that ridiculous question? Ever heard of human being?"

 "No? He can't be human. He just came out of a bell. He must be a superhuman being to be able to pull that off"

 "The Host gave him the power to possess specific supernatural powers"

 "That's so cool. If only I had that power, I would wipe out Nathan and his entire family along with Cassy's too"

 "That's why you don't have it"

 "Haha, very funny" he said, sarcastically

 "The power of the Host is not for revenge or causing unnecessary destruction. It's for keeping people safe. If given to the wrong people, it would be disastrous. That's why they're stronger than each other and hard to use"

 "Wait, they're stronger than each other?"

 "Okay, I'm back" Aiden came back out from the bell with a blue potion in a tiny bottle.

 "Okay, Martyr"

 "It's, Martin" Mart corrected

 "Drink half of this and hang the rest on your neck. Now get out of my house!" Aiden chased them out and watched them as they left in the car.

 "That boy sure has a past. You've made a mistake involving with him, Alkaline" Aiden shook his head as he went back into his bell
