Falling Angels

Claire's POV
He led me inside and went upstairs to deal with his situation. Remembering my backpack, I followed him to put my backpack in my room. I walked back out and realized how hungry I was. Wanting to be a good guest, I decided to cook breakfast. I already knew what I wanted to cook. I searched his kitchen and found all the ingredients I needed for my killer pancakes. I slipped my iPod out of my back pocket and hit shuffle on the Black Veil Brides' new album. I got to work and unconsciously began to sing along to Heart of Fire.


Driving through this world unknown,
I've built my life on broken bones.
Not living for this anymore,
You want a fight...I'll bring a war!

I feel alive inside
I won't be terrorized
I'll take all the blame

This heart of fire is burning proud
Every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls but you can't keep me out
I'll burn them down


Andy's POV
I stepped out of the shower and got dressed for the day in black skinny jeans, a black veil brides shirt, and combat boots. Suddenly, I could hear a haunting voice singing Heart of Fire and sending shivers up my spine. The voice sounded like it mourned yet celebrated at the same time. It was as if a cursed angel was singing. 'Or more accurately a fallen angel.' I thought to myself. Then I remembered my fallen angel. Could it be her? There was only one way to find out. I headed downstairs and sure enough Claire stood there with her back to me flipping pancakes and singing her heart out. She sang as if no one was listening. I just stood there and listened, marveling at the unique sound of her voice. Then, she screamed. For ten seconds. I stood there in shock as she began to sing Perfect Weapon. Her scream shattered my soul and healed it at the same time. I had never heard anything like it. Finally, she turned around. Her voice gradually died out when she saw me. As Claire stood there in mute horror at my discovery I stood there in awe of her voice. It was fucking perfect. Finally finding words, I asked, "Why'd you stop?" "I-I didn't realize I was singing." she replied. "Have you ever heard your voice? It's fucking amazing." Her cheeks turned red. "Thanks." Claire said. I dramatically gasped. "Are those pancakes?" I asked. "Naw, they're pancake lookalikes. On the inside they're filled with confetti." she joked. "Well, let's dig in." I suggested. "Agreed." she replied. We both sat down to breakfast.
