Angel In Training

Chapter 10 The War Begins

It had been two weeks. Two long weeks. She trained for eleven days and had three days to relax. Eleven days she trained with the angels she was going to be in control of. She planned their attack. She didn't know what to do at first so she watched Michael and how he took control. She picked up quickly and had everyone ready for battle. She spent her three days wisely. She spent them sleeping and talking. She decided it would be good to have the people she was fighting with now something about her.

The last day of relaxation she had been talking to her group. The ones that have been in battle before were discussing what the ones that weren't should expect. "Michael is a great leader but he is a complete jerk." Most of the angels there agreed. Lexine didn't say anything she was kind of off in her own world. Thinking about what she was going to do afterwards. That is if she made it through. She was pulled out of her daze when the angel closes to her kicked her gently.

"What do you think?" "About what?" She asked confused. "Michael and him being a jerk." She tilted her head to have full vision of all of them. "He's not a jerk. It's a defense. Most humans do it. They build a wall so they won't get hurt. That's all he did." She smiled finishing her sentence and beginning to put her head back down. "So Lexine?" She looked back up to the female angel that spoke now. "What?" "You like him." Lexine was taken a back by this question. This had come out of nowhere.

She smiled and answered anyway. Her confidence grew since she died. "Yeah I do. I do like him is something wrong with that." She began to lean back expecting to hit soft ground and gaze up into the sky. She only got about a third of the way back before she hit something. She looked up to see Michael standing above her. She smiled. "Hi."

Michael had been standing there for a while. The female angel had spotted him before she had asked the question. He was surprised that she answered the way she did. He tried to make her hate him but she just tried harder. Her smile was warm. Her body warmed the lower half of his legs. She moved forward. He felt the cool air hit his legs. She shifted and laid to the side of his feet. Everyone was surprised when he sat down and talked with them. That day was one of the best days she had in a long time.

They were now gathered at the entrance to Earth. She was terrified. Terrified she would die, terrified she be captured and tortured. Terrified she would never she any of her new friends again. Most of all not seeing Michael. She glanced to the left of her were Michael stood. His face was calm and relaxed. He looked like he did this everyday. He turned to her feeling her staring at him. He saw the worry in her eyes.

He trained with this woman for the two weeks. She was quiet but had a lot of power. She picked up on things easily. She confessed she liked him in front of people and didn't run. He was fascinated by her actions but never said anything. He responded to the worry in her eyes. "Don't worry. You'll be fine." She smiled and faced forward again. She had gotten him to be a little bit nicer to her. In fact a little bit nicer to everybody. It toke her time but she did it. The passageway slowly opened. Her heart raced.

Every angel that could wield a sword was out. The healers were on stand by along with Raphael. She was in the air along with hundreds of other air born angels. Each one of them had a bow in their hand. She looked down seeing thousands of angels standing on the battlefield, Micheal at the front of them all. She heard a sound, the sounds of screams. Screams of demons and humans turned evil.

She raised her bow as they drew closer. The rest followed her actions. She pulled an arrow from the bag that rested on the side of her leg. The rest pulled arrows as well. Every one of them pulled the arrow back. Each of the tips engulfed in a white flame. As both humans and demons had their swords drawn and ready to bring them down she released her arrow causing a barrage of arrows to follow hers.

She watched as arrows hit demons and humans and they combusted into a white flame. She heard their screams from were she was, the screams of pain. Bodies fell to the brown dirt. The ground fleet began their advance. She followed the actions from before until there were no more arrows left. Their archers on the ground wiped out half of the air born angels. She watched as angels were turned to stone once the arrow embed in their skin. Falling to the ground shattering once they hit. What angels were left in the air advanced to the ground and joined the fight down there.
