Hikaru flew through the nights sky her wings blending in perfectly with the sky. Soon it bgan to rain really heavy. Hikaru floated there and began to search frantically for shelter. Peaking through the tree she saw a church very faintly through the trees. Flying quickly through the trees and landing quickly on the ground making her wings dissapear and ran inside.
Inside she seen a rather tall man standing next to the near the Virgin Mary. Walking a tad bit closer so she would not be heard to see who or what he was looking at. Soon bright blue wings sparkled over one of the pews. Taking a seat and just sat there in silence until the rain died off...

Turning to the speaker the boy gasped as he saw the tall priest and stood up sharply. His eyes became wide with fear as he began to back away from the male, accidentally standing on one of his wings he fell back onto the floor.
His breathing became heavy as he crawled over to a dark corner of the empty hall. In a small frail voice he whispered shakily 'P....please....'
As he sat in the shadows his wings covered his body only the top of his head visible, his eyes streaming with tears beneath them. '...please...'

Abel jumped at the boys sudden movements and looked very confused. He staged back a dew steps as the boy scrambled away hiding in the corner of the church. He watched with concern before slowly approaching the boy speaking very softly “What are you afraid of I’m not going to hurt you I’m nothing more than a poor priest” he smiled turning his palms towards the boy in a peaceful gesture. Getting got closer and knelt do the boys level, crouching on the balls of his feet. “What ever is the matter” he said gently, tipping his head inquisitively at the boy. “what are you scared of?” he asked softly. It was then he sensed a presence, someone else was in the room. He looked up and spotted another winged gifted, he smiled at her and nodded quietly. His concerns for the moment lay with the cowardly boy before him.

Pulling a wing over his face the boy uttered behind it gently. 'Please, Please don't hurt me..' Playing with one of the feathers he repeated his words again a little quieter then pulled the feather out.
Dropping it onto the floor he began to play with another. Lifting his face slightly he looked at the priest, his watery, blue eyes stared at the man then moved over to the girl in the benches then back at the man as the palms were held out infront of him.
Pulling out another feather he quickly placed it into the man's hand and crawled across the room behind a statue and wrapped his arms around the cold stone.

Abel blinked at the feather, taking it between two fingers and touching it gently. It was exquisitely soft. He smiled and watched the boy crawl away, following him quietly. “I’m not going to hurt you” he reassured him, “do you have a name?” he asked softly, tucking the feather into his sleeve.

The boy blinked at the man, no one had ever asked him his name in years. He was confused at why he was not yet being attacked. Leaning out from behind the stone he spoke softly and quietly, R...Reiko, Sir, Reiko Kenji After saying his name he hid back behind the statue. Peeking out slightly to see what the man would do next, to Reiko he looked every interesting. Calming and 'friendly,' something Reiko wasn't used to feeling from other beings.

“Reiko Kenji that’s a very nice name” Able smiled. Placing his hand on his chest “my name’s Father Nightorad, and this is my church” he said softly, gesturing at the church around him “What brings you here?” he asked “shelter from the rain or something else” he smiled, leaning to peek around the statue.

Reiko yelped and scrambled around the statue and came to face the good Fathers behind. Blushing madly he crawled across the floor, spreading his blue wings he flew up and sat on one of the older statues head.
'I...I haven't, repaid my sins Father...' Pulling his long blue ponytail round infront of him he began to run his fingers through the locks. 'I....i'm a bad person...' Turing his head away from Abel the boy sighed and looked at the stained glass as the rain water trickled slowly down, making the pictures upon them look as if they were crying.

Hikaru didnt move to intervene, she just sat in a pew waiting for the rain to stop... if it ever did. She breifly saw the bot when he peaked out from behind the statue. Whats he so afraid of... She thought. She smiled softly at the boy then just waited and let the Father continue calming him down.

Abel lost the boy and span around just in time to see him scurry away again. Abel stood and nibbled on his glove. “hmm, Do you want to confess? Is that why you’re here? I’m more than willing to listen my child” He smiled softly following the boys eye line. “hmm, it’s very beautiful, even in this weather. 16th centaury I believe, Donated by a local nobleman by the name of Henry Woodrush. That’s the story of….Cain and Abel” he smiled gently, knowing his voice had a feature to it that made it calming to people. Perhaps one of the reasons he made such a good priest.

Looking back down to the woman in the seats he saw her smiling to him, his eyesight then when back down to the priest. 'C..confess? B..but, I did, I did a bad thing!' The last part was almost shouted at Abel as the boy fell from the statue and landed quite heavily on his behind.
'Oww..' Gently rubbing the pain at his bottom Reiko slowly got to his feet and turned away from the on-lookers. 'If I told you, I couldn't be forgiven...'

Hikaru who was not sitting too far away got up from her seat. She walked behind the statue slowly and held her hand out to the boy, Reiko, who had just recently fallen.
"Dont be afraid, He is very forgiving. He will forgive you for whatever your sin is." Smiling again at the boy eyes closed cocking her head to one side "Im sure you couldnt have done anything terribly wrong..."

Abel’s face changed to pity. “what ever you have done, it can be forgiven, god is graceful and wise, he will forgive. Come now, If you never try you wont know if you can be forgiven” he smiled, approaching the boy and lowering himself to his level

Looking at the deep eyes of the older male Reiko took a deep sigh. Nodding to the woman but not taking her hand he stood up, turning away from the two he walked up to the Virgin Mother and spoke. 'I killed somebody, I didn't mean to...they, they had the knife and fell. They fell on it as I tried to take it off them and...and they fell, he fell....he fell...' The tears start to build up again in the boys blue eyes, as he covered his face he sank slowly to the floor. Leaning his head down he cried softly into his pale hands, his body shook gently as the sobs overcame him.

Hikaru looked to Abel for a moment then crouched down to his height. Pulling a clean hankie from her pocket, laying a hand on his shoulder gently holding the hankie in front of him.
"You didn't kill him. You acted in self defense what happened was a accident..." Hikaru said smiling in soft symapthy, "It wasnt your fault he fell on the knife..."
