The sound of my footsteps echo into the night. I feel the cool breeze on my face as I run never looking back. I run from nothing yet something. My legs stop carrying me as I see a cliff edge comming into view.
I look over its edge and fall backwards onto the ground quickly scrambling up. Images of what I saw continue to show themselves into my brain.
Mouth less beings with their eyes hanging out of their sockets.
Horrific moans crawling up my spine. I run in the opposite direction. Every so often looking behind me. It is to late to realize the pit in front of me when i fall because my head is looking in the other direction. My face lands in the dirt at the bottom of the darkened pit. I quickly scan the area with tense blue/black eyes. They fall upon a barely breathing body. A quiet hiss escapes my lips as i crawl slowly over to it.
My fingers slightly shaking as i reach for the body and turn it over. I gasp in shock and fall back words as I realise the body has no face. The place where the mouth, nose and eyes should be is just flat and pale... Oh so pale. I smell a horrible smell as I look the body over. I see a hole in the stomach area of the faceless creature.
I figure out that is where the smell is coming from. I cover my mouth with my hand to muffle a scream as a movement is seen by the hole. The smell becomes piercingly more horrid. Soon the head of the creature living in this body screams and lunges for my face.

I scream and wake up. My mind telling me to run. Sweat dripps of my face as the events in the dream come back to me. My 18 foot wing span unfolded and in full glory of the tiny space makes me feel cramed. I quickly fold them back up against my skin and the dissapear leaving a winged tattoo on my back. I lay back down with a sigh. "I am gonna need to take a bath." I think to myself aloud.
The sweat cools and drys in the cold summer night air in Washington state. I sit up and open the door of the car I have claimed as my home. I get up and frown. Stretching I make my way towards the spring only 20 minutes away.
I slow my steps as a sound like a branch snapping fills the night air followed by a small curse. I narrow my eyes untill they are slits and look around the area casually.
I look to my right and beside a small bushel of underbrush a heat signature that is normally hot like a bird but belongs to a much bigger creature apears. I frown and say out loud. "Please show yourself. I am not in the mood to fight anyone right now." Another word the sounds like "Mother Trucker" eroupts from the spot.

"Alright, alright... I am comming. Dont get your panties all in a bundle." I frown and look at the person normally and see dark hair, dark eyes, and a tall, muscled body appear. I stare in disbilef.

"Wait... Your not the bird kid everyones talking about are you?" My eyes scanning his face and look a little over his shoulder to see a tuff of feathers pokeing out of his black shirt. His hand rises to the back of his neck.

"Um... Yeah... But don't sound so excited." He drops his hand and rolls his eyes. "IF you have a problam I can leave. I just... Uh... Need some... Uh... Help..." he looks at me almost pained. I see a small drop of blad fall from his back and onto the ground.

"Your hurt.." I slowly walk over to him. "What happened?" Closer now I stop. He looks at me with untrustworthy written on his face.

"I was shot in the shoulder... Some hunter I think." I frown and look around curseing a serise of profanity. Seeing no heat signatures I look back at him.

"How far away did you get shot?" He looked at me. Searching my eyes as if to see something that wasnt there. Shaking his head he answers me.

"About twenty miles North. I don't think they followed me though..." He pauses. "Can I trust you to ask for your help." It is my turn to roll my eyes.

"If I was going to harm you I would have done it as soon as I saw your heat signature." This takes him back a few stepps.

"Heat signature?" A pause here. "Are you like me?" I shake my head.

"I am nothing like you, little one... I am as old as the earth you stand on." A confused look crosses his face.

"What? If your not like me then what are you?" I shake my head.

"I am not going to tell you untill I belive I can trust you." I walk around him. "Would you mind taking off your shirt so I can see your injury?" I ask plainly. He looks uncertine at me but nods and slowly liffts his shirt while wincing. "Thank you." I slowly examin the wound. The bleeding starts to slow and i carefully rest my hand on the wound causeing him to wince and start to pull away. "Do not move." I whisper savagely to him. He abruptly stops. I close my eyes and think of the healing words of old. Slowly they come into mind and I say them out loud "In nomen of deus EGO scisco vos gigno curatio vox in is juvenis" My eyes open and a soft white light glows around my hand and the wound slowly medning it back togeather. Soon it is done and the glow dissapears. I stand infront of the Bird child. "It is done." He flexes his shoulder and surprise crosses his face as he looks at his shoulder. The wound fully healed.

"How... How did you do that?" He looks back at me. "What did those words mean?" I smiled slightly

"I have gods grace on my side." His eyes rolled but stared at me expectantly. I roll my eyes and say. "The words ment 'In the name of god I ask you to bring forth healing powers on this young man'" His eyes light up in wonderment.

"What are you?" I frown but say what I am anyways knowing he is in my debt for saving him.

"I am a Fallen Angel, my name is Bernael. I am the fallen angel Of darkness and evil. "
