Hey guys, so I know I said that this was just a one-shot but I decided that I'll have a one-shot for each book. This one's set in torment. Happy guys? You lovely fans bullied me into writing another fic. Just kidding, I love you guys. I know this is usually at the bottom but whatever, enjoy!

Love,

~Star

Daniel's wings trembled as he watched the scene before him unfold. Luce was sitting on the balcony outside her window with some boy who he had come to know as Miles.

He felt a sudden pang of anger that coursed through his body as the boy leaned forward, catching Luce off guard.

Daniel watched, horrified, as their lips touched, and Luce didn't stop it.

He was up and over in one fluid motion, his feet on the railing of the balcony.

He grabbed the audacious boy by the collar and hauled him up.

"Daniel!" Luce yelled, her face morphing into horror, for her friend.

He chose to ignore her, "Who the hell do you think you are?" He yelled.

"I'm just showing Luce she has other options than the guy who constantly pushes her away but won't let her go for his own selfishness."

"Miles…" Luce whispered. That ticked Daniel off. "I don't care who you are, Luce is mine, and she has been for thousands of years. There is no way in hell that I will ever let a mere nephillim like you take my place!" Daniel yelled, shoving the boy down.

"Daniel stop!" Luce yelled. There was no way he could, not when their relationship was being threatened. No one would threaten them. Daniel began to beat Miles face with his fist repeatedly.

Yet when Luce's hand came down on his arm, pulling him off the brown haired boy below him, he knew that was enough.

Daniel pulled away and stood up, admiring his handy work.

"What the hell?" Luce yelled.

Finally, he turned to look at her.

"Daniel you can't just beat him up like that!"

"Luce, he kissed you…" Daniel said softly.

"Yes Daniel, I've been kissed by boys other than you before."

"We're in a relationship Luce."

"Are we? Last time I checked when people were in a relationship they told each other things. You're not telling me much of anything."

Miles stood up and Daniel watched him out of the corner of his eye.

"Luce, you know you don't have to stay with this guy. You can lead a different life." Miles coughed out.

Luce shook her head. "Sometimes, I think that, that would be a wonderful thing, but I know in the end, Daniel is all I really ever want. Even though sometimes he's rude, crazy possessive, the biggest green monster I the world, I could never love anyone like I love him. I'm sorry Miles."

The brown haired boy sighed and glared at Daniel before turning and leaving.

Daniel looked at Luce and she stared back, just as intensely.

"You know you didn't have to beat him up."

"He kissed you Luce."

"That was unnecessary."

"Luce..."

She sighed and shook her short blond hair before turning to climb back inside.

Daniel wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged her into his chest.

"Daniel?"

He nuzzled her hair. "Luce, I may keep things from you, but soon, everything will be out in the open okay? Please just hold on. Don't turn to anyone else."

She nodded and turned around in his arms before pressing their lips softly together.
