Angels Feud
Chapter 3 Falling Asleep
She had arrived back at the gates. They opened freely welcoming her back. She remembered Michael running back to the stream they were at. He was gone. She was a little angry but pushed it aside. She figured he had something to do. Which she was right he did.
Raphael dragged Michael to the room where Lexine first got her wings. It hadn't changed much just more pictures added. Raphael had a new angel on the table. She was in a lot more pain then normal. She had broken the buckles and her fingers were attached to her arm. Small trails of blood dripped down her arm.
"Michael I need you to hold her down. She has to lay down on her stomach." He sighed and did as he was told. The new angels wings popped threw her back. She screamed in pain. Blood splashed onto Michaels face.
Lexine waited by the stream. Her mind lost in thought. She had been staring at her skin. It fascinated her how her skin was so much lighter than any other angels. Her skin being so much lighter made her green eyes stand out more.
She had been paying too much attention to little things about her she didn't notice Michael behind her. He sat down pulling her in-between his legs and resting his head on her shoulder. She was startled at first but when she looked at the reflection she calmed down.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked curiously. "Curiosity killed the Angel." "I thought it was cat?" She smiled looking at him threw the water. "Yeah but your not a cat are you?" She noticed the smudges across his face. "New angel." "Yeah. Where did you run off to?" "My assignment." She state bluntly. A sudden wave of tiredness washed over her.
She leaned back against him, a yawn escaping her lips. Her eyes closed slowly. She forced them open not wanting to go to sleep she had only been awake for a few hours. Her eyelids got heavier and heavier.
He lightly shook her. She had already fallen asleep. Sylvia had appeared behind him. She bent down on her knees. "She must have used her powers. We never taught her that she must have tapped into more than she need." She brushed a piece of hair out of Lexine's face. "Maybe you should bring her to her room." Sylvia stood up. "I'll grab new clothes for both of you."
She walked away hands behind her back humming a tune to her self. Michael picked her up carrying her back to her room. Sylvia walked in soon after holding to sets of clothes. She hand Michael a set and pushed him towards the door. "Why are you shoving me out?" "Just get out for a minute." After she got Michael out she got Lexine out of her damp clothes and put on dry ones. It consists of a black skirt and a purple tank top.
Sylvia pulled her onto her bed and left, letting Michael back in who had changed outside. Sylvia took both of their clothes. Lexine had curled up on one side of the bed. Michael laid down on the other. He him self began to feel tired. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since she was poisoned. He wrapped an arm around her. Pulling her close. She snuggled closer to him seeking the warmth. He soon fell asleep to the light sound of her breathing and her heart beating.
