almostinsane- Thanks!

H-Dog- Uh, yeah…and did you notice that the man in the last chapter was your character? If you didn't I want you to go back and read the author's note of the last chapter to clear up any confusion.

Ramna Matsuri- Thank you! And you think you can finish reading my FOP fic "Trapped In Eternal Darkness"?

Brandy and Mr. Whiskers fan- As I said before, I began writing this story in the summer of 2003, and I didn't know his middle name than.

Death's Soulmate- Thanks. The lady's name was Michelle, as I'm sure she said. Remember that name. I've done a really good chapter? I thought it sucked.

DARK1ULTIMATE- Yeah I created the Earth Angels, but the inspiration for this story (and Edd's costume) came from a piece of fan art I saw in the Eddzone that showed Edd as an angel. Thanks. And you find it hard to picture Edd as an angel? I find it easy.

Note: Thank you all for the reviews. I really appreciate it. Sorry for the wait, but I got grounded. An' sorry this chapter's so short, the next one is too. And did any of you see the Valentine's Day episode? I am officially anti-Edd/May now! Well, read and review!

Angel Wings
Chapter 7: Truths Untold

It was 6:30. Eddy knew because Edd had told him so. The three boys had finished walking through the city and were basically 'nowhere' as Eddy liked to call it. He looked back and watched as civilization became farther and farther away. He really didn't want to leave, but Edd said they had to. Eddy wondered why they had to leave. Why they had to wander from civilization.

Eddy narrowed his eyes at Edd. Something was up, something was defiantly up. Because why didn't Edd just tell them where they were going so they could all plan the route, and not have to go 'nowhere'. Something was wrong Eddy could feel it.

"Hey Double D where's the entrance to the Otherworld?" Eddy asked knowing Edd couldn't possibly lie to him. Eddy was right; Edd sort of hesitated before speaking.

"Its in San Diego, why do you ask?" Edd spoke rather quietly.

"Well," Eddy began, "maybe you haven't noticed but we're going east instead of South like we're supposed to!"

"I know. Its just-its just I…" Eddy listened as the truth began to spill from his friend's mouth. "Its just I'm going for my mother first. She went on a business trip one day and never returned. Something's very wrong, I can feel it. I just need to help her."

"Oh so that's it. You lied to us to make us look for your mom? What the hec is that all about!"

"No Eddy, I wouldn't lie to you. I do need to destroy the Otherworld demon. It's just I'm going for my mother first. What would you do if your mother was in trouble?"

"I'd call the police, duh. Now I want you to listen. We're cold, hungry, and tired. We aren't coming if all you're gonna do is find your mom. Me 'n Ed aren't going to take anymore of this. So eighter we go to the portal and kill this monster, or you're on your own!"

"Fine!" Edd shouted back. "I will. I never really needed your assistance anyway. I was planning on going solo in the first place." And with that said, Edd turned and walked away, his little backpack slung over his right shoulder.

"Well fine get out of here!" Eddy shouted back. "You never belonged here anyway…Damned Child!"

Edd continued to walk as if he hadn't heard, but Eddy knew he was hurting bad.

Edd walked slowly, his hands in his pockets, and his gaze to the ground. He couldn't believe Eddy had said what he did. How could he? Eddy was supposed to be Edd's friend. How he could he just go and call him that and say the things he did?

Edd looked up to the sky, the dark sky. It was night already, and hours since the fight, yet still he couldn't stop thinking about it. Couldn't help feeling so betrayed, and so lonely. Edd missed the company he took for granted. Missed them and felt scared without them.

The wind blew softly, chilling Ed though he wore a sweater. The night was so dark, so cold, so… unsettling. Edd felt as though some savage creature would pop out at any given moment and tear him to pieces. It really didn't feel good walking around alone this late at night. However, Edd couldn't stop, for stopping and sleeping made him feel more unsafe. Would if there was some psychopath waiting in the bushes or something? You never knew.

Edd tried thinking out loud, but than quickly shut his mouth. Hearing his own voice didn't give Edd as much comfort as one would believe. It seemed to Edd that preoccupying his mind would be his only cure from fear.

However, this proved to be worse. Thinking kept horrible images entering his mind. Images of whatever could be out there. Finally Edd realized his only solution. It was the most obvious and probably thre best one. The heavenly solider got to his knees and recited "Hail Mary".

After a few reciting, Edd felt confident enough to continue on. He smiled, as he knew he was being watched and protected by those who occupied Heaven.
