Things are starting to heat up.

TRIGGER WARNING: attempted rape


The clash of swords filled the marble halls. There was a grunt and the shuffling of sandals on polished surface. The young redhead was now a teenager. She huffed as sweat dripped down her body, her robes and hair clinging to her. Her muscles shivering as her sword shook from exhaustion.

"Don't tell me you're tired already Anna," Michael smirked. The man didn't have a single sign of fatigue in him. It made Anna angry. She grits her teeth and widens her stance, her shaking stops.

"Maybe you're the one getting tired old man," she says, smiling. Her lungs were burning and everything hurt, but she wouldn't let him know that.

"Then show me you can still fight," his smile faded as he moved to her once more. Their swords clashed again and again. Anna could feel herself weakening with every confrontation. Her foot slipped making her stumble forward just as Michael's sword came at her.

Anna screamed and dropped to the marble floor as she clutched her cheek. Blood was seeping through her fingers and dripping to the floor.

Anna awoke with a start as her hand instinctively went to her cheek. It had bled so much and left a faint scar, slicing a few of her freckles in half. You could barely see it, but it was there.

After calming herself and looking outside she saw the sun was high. If her internal clock was correct, Elsa would be leaving school in a few hours. She could talk with Eugene some before waiting for the human. She got up and pulled on some of the cloths Elsa had given her. They fit perfectly and were comfortable. She placed Elsa's scarf around her neck and nuzzled the soft fabric. It still smelt like her.

She set out soon to go find Eugene. It didn't take her long before he found her. It seemed like he popped up from nowhere, making Anna stumble and curse in fright.

"Eugene, for fuck sake, please don't do that!" She hissed and he laughed.

"Man, I can't get over you cursing!" He smiled and she rolled her eyes. When he got a good look at her he frowned.

"Red you look like shit, what happened?" He asked concerned.

"There was another murder last night, I…I saw him die," Anna said softly wrapping her arms around her waist. Eugene's eyes softened and he wrapped her up in a hug. His scruffy wings wrapped around her gently.

"I'm sorry you had to see that red," he whispered. Anna sniffed and squared her shoulders.

"Crying won't help. Did you get any information?" She asked and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"No, no one knows anything, either that or they don't want to tell me," he said frowning.

"Well, look at you, I wouldn't exactly tell you anything either," Anna smirked and Eugene gasped with a hand over his heart.

"I will have you know, that I chose to look like this so others don't come looking for trouble," he sniffed and looked away, his arms over his chest and his eyes closed.

"Eugene, even as a pure angel, your wings were never up to par," Anna said and he pouted.

"Can we ignore my wings?" He asked and she nodded.

"Sure. Tell me, where is the sinners' paradise around here?" Anna asked and his eyes widened.

"The what now?"

"You know, where all the fallen and unclean go?" She tried again.

"Oh! It's a bar just outside of town, they don't let humans in," he said and she nodded.

"Can we go there one night? I don't want to make Elsa worry if we go during the day," she asked and he looked to her.

"You really like her don't you?" He asked and she frowned.

"She's human. I need to care for humans. I was trained to protect them," she said and he smiled.

"No you were trained to defeat demons. Even ones inside humans. That's why you can see aura's so well," he said and Anna shook her head.

"How do you know that?"

"I know things, I'm sneaky. I also heard things I shouldn't. Why do you think I got banned just for stealing and not given a chance to redeem myself?" He asked.

Anna frowns as her eyes search for answers in the gravel. Storm clouds drew above them as Eugene looked up. Their feathers ruffled, a few falling out of Eugene's wings.

"You were supposed to be the Archangel that dealt with possession. All the more humans are being possessed and sure, their priests can get them exorcized, but with difficulty and most hosts end up dying," he explained and Anna looked to him, confusion in her eyes.

"Maybe angels aren't as pure as one would like to believe," he smiled sadly. Anna shook her head and stepped away.

"No, no I don't believe you. You fallen angels lie! That's what you do! Pure angels they don't…they don't lie! It's not allowed!" Anna was gripping her head shaking it. She didn't want to believe it. They had told her she was to just protect humans. They told her she was going to be a warrior for Michael's army. That she was to serve under him, not alongside all seven archangels and become an eighth. They made the rules clear to her.

You cannot lie.

You cannot harm the innocent.

You must serve only one God.

You cannot lay with another.

You may not use His name as a curse, nor may you curse.

You may not take that which is not yours.

She listed the rules, a mantra she was to say every day. She cursed now, but only because she had no other way to release her anger. She believed those rules.

You may not speak ill of others.

You must be generous.

You must be honest.

You must be kind.

She tried to be the perfect angel even now. She knew she messed up. She knew she deserved being exiled. She trusted their judgment.

"Anna," Eugene said softly and she looked to him. His eyes told her he truly was sorry.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Her head snapped to the sound of Elsa's voice. She didn't even realise they had walked to the school, nor that the time had passed considerably.

"Red's fine she just heard some news that made her question a few things, say where's Rapunzel?" Eugene asked.

"She's at art class," Elsa said not looking away from Anna. He said something about going to go look for her, leaving the two alone. The redhead of the two frowned as she saw Elsa's aura flicker and dim slightly before returning to its vibrant self.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just in denial. Did anything happen at school today?" Anna asked and Elsa blushed slightly.

"Well this one guy, he…asked me out," Elsa said as she bit her lip. Anna's eyes widened and she blinked. Something inside her grew hot and she felt her hands clench. Her feathers started puffing up.

"And what did you say?" She asked, trying not to grit her teeth.

"I said yes, but only because Rapunzel encouraged me," Elsa smiled and Anna felt the anger that was welling inside her just disappear. She felt nothing. Her muscles had gone slack. Her mind was now blank. The wind ruffled her feathers.

"Oh, that's…as long as you're happy," she said finally and Elsa nodded. They had started walking.

"It's tomorrow night after school, seeing as its Friday then and he has sport to practice on Saturday," she said and all Anna could do was nod. Elsa talked about the guy, but Anna couldn't bring herself to care enough to listen. They eventually reached the house and after dinner she excused herself to her room, claiming that she felt ill from all the rain.

While she waited for everyone to go to sleep she tried her best to check her feathers. Usually she would have someone care for them. She neatened them as best she could, but knew the weather would just mess them up again. She was just glad her feathers didn't fall out like Eugene's.

It wasn't raining, but the clouds were still covering the sky and were still dark. Anna just let the wind breeze over her face as she stared out the window. With a heavy sigh she started climbing out, her wings flapping to keep her from falling. Her eyes caught Elsa's window from her room beside her. It was slightly open and she could see the wind bellowing the curtains. She shimmied over to close it so the girl wouldn't catch a cold.

Once at the girl's window, she couldn't help but look inside. She saw Elsa's figure lying on her bed.

Just a closer peak wouldn't be so bad.

She opened the window more and climbed inside. There Elsa lay, sleeping, the look of utter bliss on her face. Anna couldn't help but feel slightly jealous.

This girl didn't have to fear becoming what she hated most. This girl didn't have to deal with the wrath of God. Elsa didn't have to deal with demons and fallen angels. Heck she didn't even have to believe in any of these things. She could do and be whatever she wanted.

Anna wished it were that easy. She blinked as she felt something leave her. Looking down she saw one of her grey feathers on the ground. After picking it up she set it on the nightstand beside the sleeping blonde. With a sigh Anna left and closed her window.

She didn't roam very far before being shoved into the side of a building. Strong hands gripped her wings as a body pressed into hers.

"Looky what I found," I gruff voice said behind her and she could feel drool dripping onto her shoulder as a tongue curled around her jaw line.

"A play thing for little old me," it chuckled and threw her against a dumpster. Her wings flapped as pain shot through her back. Her vision swam as she looked up to see a fat pig looking demon clomping towards her. Black fur covered his body from the waist down; the rest of his skin was the colour of dried blood.

He snorted through his pig snout and licked his drooling lips. Anna tried to stand up, but pain was still pulsing through her. He gripped her throat and pressed her up against a wall again. She gasped for breath as she tried clawing at his hand while his other pulled down her pants making the button pop and the zipper strip. Anna whimpered and tried flapping her wings, but pain just shot through them.

"Whimper all you want birdie," he snarled and Anna could feel tears streak down her face by now. This is not what she wanted. She felt something press against her underwear and that made her panic. That just made what was happening all the more real. She screamed and light erupted form her.

The pig demon stumbled back as he shielded his eyes. Anna grabbed the nearest thing she could, which was a broken beer bottle. She used it to slash at the creature's fat belly making him squeal in pain before lodging the sharp jagged under side into his eye. As he was squealing like the pig he was and grabbing at his wounds. Anna ran as fast as she could after pulling her pants back on.

After making it back to the house Anna jumped up and flapped into her room. She stripped out her cloths and pulled new ones on. Tears were still trailing down her cheeks. She paced her room for a bit. She didn't feel safe, she needed comfort. Not thinking clearly she walked out to Elsa's door and knocked.

Elsa must have been a lighter sleeper than she thought, because the girl opened the door with in the minute. The blonde was rubbing her eyes and yawning and all Anna could do was hug the girl. She just clung to her for dear life as she cried. Elsa closed her door and sat down on her bed with the crying redhead.

"Anna what's wrong? Did you have another nightmare?" She asked, sleep far from her mind. All Anna could do was cling to her more as she cried into the girl's chest. Elsa just stroked her hair and back trying to calm her down. This girl was really damaged and needed so much help.

They eventually lay down on the bed as Anna curled into Elsa. The crying subsided, leaving sniffles and the occasional hiccup. Elsa just hummed as she held her. They eventually fell asleep.
