Angelfall Fan Fiction

If you haven't read this book. Read it. Now. I beg of you

I was going through tumblr when I realized how little Angelfall fan fics there were. And Angelfall is worthy of so much more, so I decided to make one myself. Or rather, retell a clip from Raffe's POV. I hope it's good :D



Chapter 28 from Raffe's POV:

I took in the scene around me, observing the mix of humans and angels. The angels were mostly male, and the humans female. I could practically feel the lust swimming through the air, and suppressed a growl. Didn't they know all this was against the law? Didn't they know they would be punished for this?

Penryn and I walked along the corridor, staying among the shadows. I didn't want any unnecessary attention drawn to ourselves, the wing contraption was not entirely fool-proof. We started heading towards large leather doors with brass accents. The sooner we got out of here, the better. I needed to find Josiah and be done with this.

Then three men came through the door. They're faces were familiar, and I recognized them from one of the raids we did together. They would no doubt recognize me as well. Taking in a quick glance, I notice their swords and natural grace all angels had. If we got into a fight now, there would be a very small probability that I would come out the winner.

I turn towards Penryn, forcing a smile. I bend my head low towards hers to avoid being recognized. I stay like that a moment before realizing how close I was to Penryn. I could smell the day old shampoo in her hair, and I resisted the urge to take her into my arms. But a strange thought began to nag away at me, if all these other angels could have their girls, what was stopping me from having Penryn? Even if they were going to be punished, I had already fallen. What more could they do to me?

I felt a war within myself, but I kept the smile on my face. She was so close, I could feel her breath dance across my skin. I couldn't betray my angel vows like that though. I was not to associate with humans, nor had I before. I had hardened my heart against anything and everything. But the way Penryn looked at me made me feel as though she knew me better than myself. As though this petty human girl could see into my deepest, most dark emotions I had burried within myself. My feelings for Penryn were escalating, even as I tried to suppress them.

And her lips were so close. I shouldn't, but I could. Everything I knew to be true was coming apart around me. Why couldn't I take just one guilty pleasure? After this little quest was over we would part ways and my feelings for her would fade with time.

No! I couldn't play with Penryn's emotions like that. I liked her too much, I actually liked her. I wouldn't hurt her like that. I closed my eyes. I felt her hand drifted to my cheek, and I could picture her bright eyes full of concern. I became hyper aware of everything around me. The three men were laughing, a distant clatter rang three buildings away as someone dropped a untensil, Penryn's hand was on my cheek.

Her hands were so soft and gentle, the movement so full of concern. I refused to open my eyes, I wouldn't be able to resist her now if I saw her. Then suddenly, Penryn's lips were brushing against mine.

I hesitated only a moment before crushing her to me, grinding our lips together with a fierce hunger. I needed Penryn, and I needed her now. I grasp her hips to mine, our lips together in a starved frenzy. I was breaking all of the rules, just to be with her.

I slowed down and became very aware of her chest against mine and the feel of her hands in my hair. Our bodies fit together snugly and I felt her melt into me. All I could feel was the warmness of her mouth sliding against mine. Everything was so perfect, so right. I loved it. I loved her.

I yanked back and took a deep breath. This was wrong, it shouldn't have happened. I shut my eyes, shoving down all my emotions to sort through later. When I opened my eyes again they were carefully gaurded, but my breathing was still quick. I couldn't love her, it was against everything I had every learned. I had to cut her off, I couldn't let this go any further, "You should know," I said, my voice low, "I don't even like you."

I felt her stiffen next to me and ignored the twisting pain in my gut. It had to be done. I couldn't feel like this about her. So why did I?

Sorry it's probably not that good. I'm not the best at writing :/ And it's weird writing from a dude's POV, but, I hope you enjoyed :D
