Think this might be the shortest one? But it holds a lot of info!
Enjoy!
Sandaled feet shuffled through clouds as a woman with black hair made her way to the pantheon. There she found the angel she was looking for, busy cleaning her sword. She giggled and sat beside the girl.
"Hey Anna, I've been looking for you," the woman said and Anna smiled to her. Her eyes twinkling a brilliant teal blue. Ever since her freckles darkened after her growing stopped they brought the color of her eyes out beautifully.
"I've been here the whole time," she smiles and the woman giggled again. She rested her head on Anna's shoulder. Both girls looked out over the clouds. After a few moments the woman sat back up and touched the redheads bear arms.
"Wow, you've really defined yourself as of late," she purred and Anna blushed slightly.
"Yea well Michael has been training me harder," Anna chuckled nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck. Anna swallowed thickly as the woman looked up to her. Her grey eyes shimmering and swirling with something Anna had never seen before. Their wings slowly opened and Anna shivered at how soft the woman's feathers were against hers. Anna felt the woman stroke her cheek as she moved her face closer. Their lips were a hairs width apart and they could feel the others breathe on their lips. Anna let out a shaky breath as their eyes started to close. A name slipped from Anna's lips.
"Azrael…"
Anna's eyes snapped open as she blushed heavily. She could see the angel's bright grey eyes still staring at her from the dark ceiling above. Her heart was racing and her chest was heaving from her panting. Her hands were gripping the sheets tightly and she could feel a slight sheen of sweat covering her. She felt weird. She felt unnaturally warm.
Anna closed her eyes and groaned. She wanted that woman out of her mind. With a heavy sigh she opened them again and this time she saw soft ice blue eyes. She smiled and felt herself relax.
That's better.
Anna sat up suddenly as she heard a noise come from Elsa's room. Her internal clock said it was near midnight. She sprung out of bed and made her way to the girl's bedroom. She feared it might be an intruder or maybe the girl hurt herself.
A soft curse left the room and Anna ripped the door open to confront the intruder. There was no one there. Anna started to blush as she saw Elsa sporting her own wild blush as she was covering herself with her covers. Anna felt her wings puff and spring open hitting the door making it close.
"Um, I ah, sorry for interrupting-wait what are you doing?" Anna asked as she tilted her head. She saw the blonde's aura flicker rapidly.
"I mean I know I walked in on something embarrassing and I should be leaving, but I'm having a hard time thinking about what you're doing," Anna explained. Elsa just kept blushing as she wrapped the sheets around her seemingly naked body.
"W-well to be honest I was…touching myself?" Her answer came out as a question and Anna frowned more.
"Touching yourself?" Anna asked and Elsa sighed burying her face into her hands.
"Ever heard of masturbation?" she grumbles.
"I thought only men did that," Anna frowns, she was confused. Elsa groaned and tried looking anywhere but at Anna.
"How does a girl masturbate?" She asks and Elsa's face reddens even more. The blonde pulls her sheets up and covers her face. Anna fidgets with her hands and flaps her wings, trying to get them to lie back down.
"Anna, I…don't think this is a conversation I can have with you, it's too embarrassing," Elsa mumbles into the covers and the redhead nods.
"I understand, sorry, um…carry on?" The angel shrugs and closes the girl's door as she steps out. Anna thinks that, even though this was awkward, it was better than the human being in trouble. She heads back to her room and sits on the bed. Her body is humming and her feathers are ruffled. She jumps up and heads out the window. She needed cold, fresh, air.
Anna didn't know where her feet where taking her, but that didn't matter. As long as her mind had time to shift to other things. Even if she had to will it to something else. It didn't take her much to think of something.
Michael.
Anna wondered what he was doing here. The first thing to spring to mind was the murders. But why involve an archangel? Unless they were starting to piece together who or what was doing it. Anna's feathers bristled and she stopped walking. Her head lifted from the ground and her breath hitched.
A demon of sorts was standing at the corner of the side walk. Its body shrouded in dark mist and its eyes blood red. Her feathers stood on end as she recalled seeing the thing flee from that guardian angel. She slowly moved one foot back, ready to run if need be. She didn't have weapons, she was forced to leave her sword behind and she doubted her firsts would do much damage.
Her brain wrecked itself to try and think what type of demon it was, or at the very least what to classify it as. She's never seen anything like it; the mist was obstructing its solute.
She took another step back but this time it reacted. It lunged towards her. Its form taking on that of a jackal. Its teeth bared as its claws stretched out to her. Anna spun on her heel and bolted down the street. It was gaining fast and Anna understood why the other angels were taken down so easily. They couldn't out run it.
Anna skidded around a corner and the demon stumbled a little, not knowing that she would turn so fast. She couldn't laugh, it was still gaining. It was no surprise when it managed to pounce her to the ground. Anna's teeth snapped together as her chin made contact with the gravel. Pain shot through her, but she managed to move onto her back and grip the beast's jaws before it could bite into her.
She could feel fur under her fingertips, but the demons drool was distracting her. It was disgusting and was making her grip slip. It growled and pressed harder as it tried to close its jaws and bite her fingers. Anna's muscles were starting to cramp from the force of keeping the beasts jaws open. Its claws were digging into her wings and it stung. Its red eyes bore into her like fire.
Anna managed to move her legs in under the beast and kicked making it vault over her head. She sprung to her feet and took up a defensive stance. A frown worked onto her face as the demon stood and chuckled darkly. It started clapping its hands and shaking its head.
"My, my, my, you are a treat," it said in a deep growling voice. Its eyes roamed over her before it opened its arms in an invitation or rather like he was addressing a crowed.
"Anna the Exiled, such a shame really, you would have made a fine Archangel," the demon smiled before resting its hands on its hips.
"Who are you?" Anna huffed, not letting up her stance.
"Where's the fun in saying? You're the first one to actually be a challenge. Granted I'm not after you or your kind," he sighed and looked to the sky.
"Why are you killing guardians?" Anna asked as she clenched her fists tighter.
"For their Halos of course and a little for the challenge, so far, I am disappointed though," it shook its head.
"Halos? What does a demon need with Halos?" Anna asked and it tilted its head.
"Halos, my dear exiled one, are made from pure light," it started and held its hand out. A Halo was floating in its palm.
"But if corrupted just a little," it continued and a wisp of its mist curled around it and the shining golden circlet turned black. Anna's brain couldn't comprehend its darkness; it was like staring into a void. She blinked and shook her head. She watched it throw the black Halo to her. Her mind couldn't react and it settled above her head.
Anna immediately dropped to the ground and screamed in pain. She could feel fire coursing through her soul and out the corners of her eyes she saw her wings start to turn dark. It looked like they were bleeding darkness.
"It corrupts the divine and strengthens the corrupted," it laughed and Anna clawed at her head as she continued screaming. Her wings spread and her hands clawed at the gravel under her. Her body was trembling and her head snapped up to the demon.
Blackness was spreading to engulf her teal eyes. Sinister visions were assaulting her mind, things ranging from torture to murder. It showed her laughing as the world burned, her friend's dead around her. Her wings were black as her mouth showed fangs. Her hair looked like fire as she was covered in blood. She saw herself grip platinum blonde hair and tug the human up to stand with one hand and in her other she held her sword, dripping with blood. At the flash of terrified ice blue eyes Anna managed to grip the halo above her head and rip it off. She flung it to the side.
The demon stopped laughing as it stared at her in shock. Anna panted as she felt her senses come back to her. Her wings flapped to rid it off the ink that covered it before unfolding to their full potential. The darkness in her eyes retreated to reveal angry teal.
"You're stronger than you look," the demon breathed, "as expected from a trained Archangel. No matter, you will be weaker in the future and you will be part of the unclean. I will personally see to it," the demon laughed and the mist disappeared into thin air.
Anna sighed and dropped to the ground as her muscles relaxed. She hurt all over and the images still lingered in her mind. She whimpered and curled up in the middle of the park. For how long she didn't know, but long enough for the ground to be uncomfortable. Standing and stretching her wings she saw that the corrupted Halo had disappeared from where she had thrown it.
Good, she didn't want to deal with that, nor come close to one ever again. A sigh escaped her. She knew she'd have to deal with one again. It was inevitable. She just needed to find out more about this demon. At least now she was a step closer than the others and she could give Eugene more to work with. Right now, though, Anna was tired and she wanted to curl up on her soft and warm bed.
Ok now we know what's killing them and kind of why!
Shout outs!
Alkeniw Andilite: Glad to not follow that rule! And I agree, not everyone is a bad person. Hahaha I laughed so hard when I read your "Also, fuck off, Michael" I was like yessss yesss hate him! We will see more of Michael in the future!
DJ: I (not literally) love you too! Gosh I love the long reviews you leave! It fuels me! I think I mentioned that she didn't finish her training, rather she never received her halo. She's strong yes but she is still considered young. We'll see if she receives it or not *winks* Think he's just sour that it was his prodigy that got exiled, he's angry, but also he hates anything that is considered not pure or unclean. The reason she was banished will be revealed later on my dear! Thank you!
Unknown: True, true...here's next! Hope you liked it! Thank you!
Till next time, also theirs only one pre-written chapter left so...
