Angel In Training
Chapter 9 Why Your Here
His first attack never came. He just stood still. She got the feeling he wanted her to attack. She followed her instinct only to swing and miss. He had gone into the air. She followed. Their battle gone on for hours. Her strengthen was ten times better than it was earlier. She was getting faster and stronger in attacks. As she fought her mind raced with ways to attack. She studied every movement he made to understand him, to see where he left his body unguarded.
She found opening but as soon as she found them he had them guard. She was growing frustrated and his taunting her about not being able to hit him wasn't helping. She stopped for a minute catching her breath. He toke this opportunity to attack her. She quickly dodged and hit him. She felt the blade graze his skin. He felt a small trickle of blood trail across his arm.
He examined his arm. There was a slight sting to the cut. She actually hurt him. She was happy for a moment but then felt bad. She didn't want to hurt him. She watched him carefully afraid he would turn around and stab her to death for hurting him. He turned a smirk planted on his lips. "Not bad for a new angel." She nearly fainted when she saw him smirk. One because he never did and two she thought it was cute. Her face turned red at her thoughts. "Thanks." She said loud enough for him to here.
"We're done." He descended to the ground and she followed. Raphael had been walking towards them. "Michael we are needed. Everybody is gathering in the main room." She turned away and began walking thinking this wasn't for her. She planned on going to find Sylvia. "Where are you going Lexine?" Lexine turned back around. "You have to come too. You are a General." She stared looking completely lost. "But before you go." Raphael walked towards her. "We have to make those wings vanish." "How do we do that?"
He slightly smiled. "It's going to hurt like getting your wings." She sighed and nodded. She knew there was no way of getting around it. "It comes like a second instinct. Just search your mind and you'll figure it out." She did as told. Her wings twitched slightly. They retracted into her back. She felt the popping and crunching from before followed by a slight burning. She rubbed her back were her wings had once been. Two scars replaced them.
Raphael wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "I think I understand why you were chosen as a general. You're quite the learner." She smiled. They began the short walk to the main building, which held 10 other angels. They were all seated and waiting. The three of them toke a seat near the entrance of the room. "As you all know a war has broke out between heaven and Hell. Hell wants in and heaven wont allow it." Lexine glanced around at everybody who was taking this seriously and listening carefully. She was lost.
" Some humans have side with the demons. They have been called forth to bring havoc on earth. They will be in battle fighting along side them." The discussion went on mainly about war plans and when Hell plans to attack. Her name was brought up. "Lexine will lead our air attack." Her eyes widened. "Me?" She questioned pointing to herself. The speaker nodded. "In two weeks they plan their attack. And in two weeks we will be there to defend."
