Elijah healed fast as soon as he got his strength back. Raphael had even started to take him to the field next to the house to help him start flying again. It hurt at first but he was soon getting the hang of it. However he was under strict rules from Micheal that he was still indeed grounded (haha pun intended was Gabriel's comment) not to fly with out one of them present. He had agreed to the conditions, its not like he had a choice. Micheal was an Archangel and most importantly his Elder Brother.
But Raph was late. He was supposed to help him fly faster today but for the first time in a long time he was late. Elijah groaned and kicked a rock. Its official he was bored. Elijah suddenly got an idea. He stood off his rock and unfolded his wings. The wind ruffled the feathers and he looked around. What Micheal didn't know couldn't hurt him right? Elijah crouched down as low as he could go and jumped. His wings gave a slight tingle as he pushed them. But soon he was up in the air he slowed his wings to a steady beat. He gave a whoop and looked around.
He was still in the clear. He flew around for a little bit, did some dives, scared some people on a passing plane (highlight of his day so far). He laughed at the thought of the old lady still screaming and pointing at her window.
"Well well well.. Squirt aren't you supposed to be with Micheal?"
Elijah spun around to come face to face with the SIC of Micheal's garrison. Elijah narrowed his eyes as if tempting him to do something. The SIC simply chuckled and ruffled his blonde hair.
"Don't worry I won't tell him. Yet"
The rest of the garrison chuckled at the face he made. This is one of the things he hated about being the youngest angel in heaven. Considering technically they were all related that meant he had a bunch of older brothers and sisters that tended to be a little on the over protective side.
"You know considering that we might need you to help fight and all"
Elijah took a deep breath. He wouldn't fight, he wouldn't. He shook his head rapidly and flew back. He had watched as his family was torn part by the fighting. He wasn't going to let it happen again.
"I'm not going to fight anyone or anything"
"You will if we tell you to"
Elijah made a face. Nobody told him what to do. Unless they were father, or Micheal, or Gabriel, or Raphael, or you know what you get the idea. If you were an archangel you could tell him what to do. But if you weren't then you might as well get lost.
"Your just an angel, not an archangel, you cant tell me what to do"
"Yah besides he's gonna fight with us not you"
Elijah turned around and came face to face with Lucifer's SIC. Was his luck seriously this bad?
"I'm not fighting for anyone!"
"Oh yes you are"
Elijah looked at him as if he was crazy. He shook his head and flew away. They followed and quickly took sides.
"Your just a common angel, we all out rank you, so you'll do what we say"
Elijah's mood darkened as did the scene around them. The angel warriors backed up. Elijah was known for his patience but his temper was one to be rivaled with. It was almost as bad as Lucifer's. Almost. Elijah's ability to tap into nature was better than anybody. That's why he was made the protector for children and the tree of life. Lighting struck everywhere, the wind reached hurricane force. Everyone save Elijah was blown out of teh sky. They all looked up at Elijah who was glaring down at them with dark blue eyes. This is what reminded them as to why Elijah, a mere angel, hung around the archangels his whole life. His power could rival that of almost all angels.
"I SAID I WON'T FIGHT"
The angel warriors looked over at three archangels running into the clearing. They could tell their rank by the power that rolled off them. Micheal looked up at Elijah and back down at his SIC.
"What happened"
"Nothing Sir, all we did was talk about the fight"
Micheal's eyes widened and the others shook their heads.
"Are you crazy you don't mention fighting with Elijah. Besides he would never fight in the war"
He looked back up at his baby brother. The last time he had seen him this angry was when Zachariah had threatened to mess with his tree. Zachariah hadn't been able to walk with out twitching for a month. It was after that it had been decided that Elijah would be the archangels responsibility and they all took it very seriously.
The ground shook around them and suddenly there was a hand on Gabriel's shoulder making him jump and scream.
"Who upset Eli?"
Out of the shadows stepped Lucifer. There was a shout and they turned to look at the angel pointing up in the sky. Micheal, Raphael, Lucifer, and Gabriel all looked up and four hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
Elijah was unconscious and falling. And he was falling fast.
So I know its not as long as normal but I'm really tired! I hope you liked it! Is Elijah ok? Whats gonna happen? Anything you particularly want to see happen? Let me know!
