Slowly running out of chapters for this one haha, but I need to share, this might be one of my best works!
A slightly bigger one than normal have fun!
Enjoy!
They reached the parlor and Anna held the door open for them. The girls smiled to her and Eugene wiggled his eyebrows at her making her smack his head again with her wing.
"What ya girls having?" He asked rubbing his hands together as they looked over the flavors.
"Strawberry!" Rapunzel chirped.
"Mint choc chip," Elsa said with a bit more composure.
"I never had ice cream actually," Anna said and everyone turned to look at her. She felt her cheeks heat up.
"Then the first one you should try is the Neapolitan, it's got vanilla, strawberry and chocolate!" Rapunzel smiled looking excited. Anna nodded and they all got their flavors with Eugene taking the same as Anna. They sat down at a table as they ate. They watched as Anna took her first taste of each flavor.
"Wow, these are really good," Anna said smiling as she ate happily.
"Okay but which one do you like best?" Eugene asked and Anna took a moment to think about it.
"Chocolate," she said and everyone chuckled.
"There's the bitch that took our cash," a male voice growled making everyone at the table look around. There stood the two guys Anna had met a couple days ago with a very large man behind them. He was really big and his horns were large and curled like a rams.
"This puny girl?" He huffed, a low rumble in his voice.
Anna stood and opened her wings to block the group from their eyes. She heard Eugene stand too, not sure if he was trying to protect or see if he had to flee.
"I will ask you kindly to leave," Anna said in the calmest voice she had. Her training kicking in.
"You think you scare me? Ha ha ha!" The demon laughed before pushing past the two fallen guys.
"I am warning you out of kindness. Step away before I am forced to get physical," Anna warned again.
The girls were looking between Anna and this huge scary looking man, shaking slightly. Eugene was standing close to them a hand on each shoulder. His muscles were tense, ready to pull the girls away if need be.
"You know who she is right?" He piped up and the demon's eyes flicked to Eugene.
"I don't care who she is," he growled taking a step forward. Anna's wings twitched.
"Ever heard of Anna? As in Archangel?" Eugene tried again a slight quiver in his voice.
"This puny little girl is her?" The demon asked, his face showing disbelieve, but his eyes showing slight fear.
"That's right, I am her. So I am warning you, back off," Anna said again, adrenalin already coursing through her. The demon gave a glance to the two fallen.
"You two knew?" He growled and they shook their heads. He gripped the scruffs of their collars.
"You did and were trying to get me to fight her, you will pay," he growled and dragged them out as they franticly flapped their wings and started begging. Both angels relaxed and sat back down. The fear Anna saw in the girls eyes made her swallow thickly.
"You girls never heard of Anna Archangel? Around certain circles she is highly feared. Can knock a guy out twice her size! Martial arts and sword fighting are her specialties," Eugene said as he grinned trying to cover for the only angel that ever gave him a chance. He knew she could never spin a story nor lie to get her out a situation. He saw how she acted around the blonde girl. She cared for her, if she knew it or not.
"Don't worry girls with her around bad guys will never target you, she's like a superhero!" He said and continued eating his ice cream.
"Yea, I will only defend and um, everything I do is for the good," Anna chuckled nervously. She saw the girls relax a little, but the look in Elsa's eyes was enough to send a pain through her chest. She'd seen that look before, once, a long time ago. They finished their ice cream and walked Rapunzel to her home before Eugene said he needed to go too. The walk to Elsa's home was silent and tense.
"I will say goodbye to your parents tonight and leave. I don't want to have you be scared of me," Anna whispered, her hands in her jacket pockets. Her wings were dragging on the ground.
"Anna…I don't know you well enough to tell you to stay, but I can see when someone desperately needs help," Elsa said as they stopped in front the house. The blonde could see the pain and loneliness in those teal eyes. She reached out to touch the girl's cheek. Anna leaned into her touch.
"Who hurt you?" She asked and Anna swallowed thickly. She wanted to tell this girl everything. She really did, but she couldn't.
"Elsa, I wish I could, but I do not want to get into more trouble as is," Anna said softly, "So far my name and reputation has kept me from any real danger, but there will be a time when I have met my match or there are too many of them for me to handle," she continued and placed her hand on Elsa's, turning to nuzzle into the cold skin.
"But I promise you, I am not a bad person," Anna whispered and sighed. Her eyes were closed and Elsa could feel the wetness of tears at the corner of the girl's eyes. Elsa's heart softened and she pulled the girl into a hug.
"Sshh, it's ok sweetie, it's ok," she whispered as she stroked the red hair. Strong arms wrapped around her as Anna started to cry into her chest.
"I'm not bad," she kept repeating through her sobs. They stood like that for a few minutes before rain started to fall. It started out light but quickly grew.
"Anna, sweetie, let's go inside," Elsa whispered and steered the crying girl to the door.
"Elsa honey, what happened?" Elsa's mother asked concerned when she saw the crying girl.
"She just got spooked today and I think everything just caught up to her," Elsa explained as she stroked the girl's hair. Anna sniffed and rubbed her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm usually more in control of my emotions," she sniffed and both humans just shushed her and hugged her.
"What's going on here?" All three girls pulled apart to look at the pastor.
"Little Anna was a bit emotional," Elsa's mother explained and Anna could see the apology in his eyes. Elsa took her up to her room. Anna looked around while Elsa rummaged through her cloths to give to Anna.
The redhead just sat there watching the blonde look around. Her eyes roamed over the humans features. She was beautiful, slim hourglass figure, broad hips coupled with a nice rear, her chest was rather modest. She looked like an angel, even her aura was pure.
Anna's seen a lot of teenagers and not many were this pure. Not even ones that wore chastity rings.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Anna asked out of the blue making Elsa jump and look to her.
"No, why?" Elsa asked and Anna shrugged.
"Ever had one?" She asked and Elsa shook her head.
"Kissed someone?" Again another no.
The idea of Elsa being this pure was stirring something inside Anna and she knew it wasn't a good thing. She'd felt this feeling once before and she paid dearly for it, but something inside her didn't seem to care as much anymore. The tug to do good wasn't as strong. She knew this feeling very well. Every time she got desperate for food the need to steal got stronger, but always managed to supress it. Once soup kitchens started opening up where she could get free meals she didn't feel the need to steal anymore.
Anna could feel her feathers puff up the more she thought about having all of Elsa's purity for herself.
What was she thinking?! Elsa was human and not to mention a girl!
Oh, but that just made her want it more. Anna saw in the corner of her eye one of her feathers turn black. She plucked it quickly and hissed.
No, she won't give in. It must have been the influence of that demon earlier. She recognised that type. Influential demon, they made fallen angels do as they said and could taint pure angels.
If it weren't for her training she would have had a harder time in controlling herself.
"What's that?" Elsa asked and Anna blinked. She looked down to her hands and saw the black feather in her hand.
"It's a feather," Anna simply stated. It wasn't one of her bigger feathers, so it was about the size of a raven's feather.
"It's beautiful," Elsa said smiling and Anna blushed slightly. She held it out to Elsa and the blonde took it. She studied it carefully. Elsa thought it felt familiar, but shrugged it off as just her imagination.
"Keep it," Anna said smiling and Elsa placed it in a pencil holder on her desk.
"Thank you Anna," she said then gave the girl a few pieces of clothing. There were two jeans' and three shirts along with a jacket.
"We should get you some underwear," Elsa said and Anna blushed slightly.
"Thank you," the redhead said and Elsa smiled. "I'll wear them tomorrow," she added and stood. She underestimated how close the other girl was standing and nearly collided with her. She gasped and stumbled, instinctively grabbing the other person to steady them.
Now Anna stood with her arm and a wing wrapped around Elsa's waist. Elsa was gripping Anna's jacket as she was leaned back slightly. Their eyes were wide and their breaths slightly laboured.
They quickly moved away, both blushing.
"Um, I'm just going to go put these in my room and then wash up, your mother should be ready with food," Anna stammered as she moved out the room and to hers.
After placing the cloths down and washing up she met with the other humans at the table. They prayed then ate. Anna was still just listening to them talk while she picked at her food. She wasn't feeling hungry anymore nor tired.
Anna waited after dinner for everyone to fall asleep before she slipped out of her window. She would be back before sunrise, but she just needed to get out. It was true she couldn't stay in one place too long.
The wind and slight rain didn't bother her as much. She had a purpose. She was going to confront the demon from the parlour and make sure he never bothers them again. Anna knew she shouldn't go after the demon, but she needed to get this vesturing darkness out of her and if that means she had to slay a demon, so be it. She'd rather do something good with the bad.
Anna didn't know where to look first, but maybe she could get lucky. She could use this time to see where all the fallen and demons hanged out in this town. She couldn't imagine there being too many of the unclean here, but one never knew for sure.
How long she'd been walking around, she wasn't sure, but she figured she needed to start heading back. A scuffle drew her attention and she followed. She couldn't see what was happening; the clouds blocking the moon and the rain coming down made it hard to see into the ally. The scuffle stopped as she accidently kicked something. The sound making a shadowy figure bolt away.
All she saw were white wings and panic set in. She rushed over and saw a guardian angel laying on the floor chocking on blood. She pressed her hands to the angel's throat to stop the bleeding.
"I'm going to help you okay? Just hang in there!" She said franticly. This wasn't part of her training. Her training was just defence and attack, healing was not part of it. She saw the fear in his eyes, the desperation.
"Who did this to you?" She asked wanting information. The angel couldn't speak; blood was all that came out his mouth. Anna felt tears stream down her face. She couldn't do anything. He gripped her jacket as he tried to cling to her for life. She saw it drain from his eyes as his tugging and gripping slacked.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she chocked as he went limp. Her hands pulled away shakily, covered in blood. She'd seen demons die, but she'd never seen an angel die. Not like this. She rubbed her tears away with the back of her hand, trying not to cover herself in blood.
"May you find peace in God's light," she whispered shakily. She knew it would be useless to say that to an angel, but felt like it was right. When an angel died they became a star in the night sky.
It took Anna a few minutes to realize that she needed to get out of there before the police showed up. She crossed his arms over his chest and then folded his wings over him before briskly making her way back home. Her feathers were standing on end.
Once back inside her room she cursed seeing herself covered in blood. She opened her door and looked up and down the hall to see if everyone was still asleep before moving into the bathroom and stripping. Angel blood was not going to clean itself.
She switched on the basin and scrubbed her hands clean. Blood washed down with the water, she watched it swirl down as it turned from angry red to pink to clear. A new wave of tears streamed down her face as she started trying to clean her jacket where he had gripped it and she had stuck her hands in the pockets. She then cleaned her jeans at the knees where she had knelt in his blood. Lastly she sat and scrubbed her shoes where they had stepped in the blood.
After she set the clothing aside to dry and sat in just her underwear and shirt, she cried again. His eyes were haunting her. He was begging her. He didn't care that she was exiled. He just didn't want to die.
Anna didn't know how long she sat like that with her back against the tub, crying, but that's how Elsa found her.
"Anna?" Her voice was filled with worry and panic. She knelt by the redhead's side and tried to see if anything was wrong. Anna sniffed and curled into Elsa's body. There were no more tears to fall and she felt tired.
"What happened?" Elsa asked as she held the girl close to her.
"I c…couldn't save him…h…he looked at me, begging for me to s…save him a…and I couldn't," Anna sobbed as she clung to the human.
"Couldn't save who sweetie?" Elsa asked as she stroked the girls' hair. Only then did Anna's mind come back to her. She cursed inwardly.
"Nightmare from something that happened a long time ago," Anna lied and she felt like she was going to throw up. Elsa just hummed and rocked the girl back and forth.
"It's ok every things ok now," she whispered and Anna wished it was. She'd have to talk with Eugene and see what he knows.
"Why are your cloths wet?" Elsa asked and Anna rubbed her eyes.
"I was washing the blood away," she whispered, looking away. Elsa didn't question further.
"I bet you must be tired now, let's get you back to bed," Elsa whispered and helped the girl back to her room. She tucked her in and Anna looked up to her.
"I'm sorry I've been nothing but trouble," she said softly and Elsa smiled kindly as she stroked a lose strand of hair in behind her ear. She was leaning slightly over the redhead, due to her tucking her in.
"You just need some place safe to think," Elsa said sweetly before kissing the girls forehead.
"I'll see you after school," Elsa said before leaving. Anna blushed slightly as she snuggled deeper into the covers. The feel of the girl's soft lips on her skin was making her heart beat irregularly. Anna pulled the covers over her face and drifted off to sleep.
My poor baby bub...I wish I could say the suffering ends here, but if my calculations are correct...yes, yes they are...the next chapter is going to need a trigger warning...so heads up...
Bonus house points to who can give me their thoughts on what they think is going on, I know there's still not much info, but patience is a virtue.
