" This is going to hurt" Warren gently said
He put anti bacteria on a wash cloth and then gently began to cleans her back he could feel
her body stiffen but still she didn't wake up. Warren was so intent on his work that he hadn't
heard his mother come home until he heard the gasp.
" Warren what the hell his going on" She asked angrily starring at the half naked girl on her
sons lap
" Well this is Angel from my school and I don't know what happened but trying to wrap the
wound and stop the bleeding" He said monotone
" O" She said still starring
" Well are you just going to stare or are you going to help me" Warren said
" Sorry um you just hold her and I'll wrap her wounds wait let me look at them quick." Mrs.
Peace said
Going behind the couch Mrs. Peace gasped at the two wounds in the girls back. Knowing that
they wouldn't stop bleeding without stitches she quickly ran to her room to grab her medical
stuff. She couldn't help but wonder where all the bruises had come from. When she got back
Warren looked at his mother with a questioning look.
" Her wounds are too deep she needs stitches or she will bleed to death" Mrs. Peace said
" She's a healer will that effect her healing her wounds" Warren asked remembering how she
had healed him
" It shouldn't , she'll just absorb this once she begins to heal, I need you to lay her on the
couch so I can do this" She said
" Ok" Warren said and gently laid her on the couch
Warren watched as his mother stitched Ebony up, he couldn't help but wince and hoped that
the girl couldn't feel the needle going through her skin. When she was done she had Warren
place her back onto his lap so that she could put a wrap over the stitches.
" She's soaked go get one of you button up shirts we should get her warm before get gets
sick" Mrs. Peace said going into mother moad
" Yeah" Warren said agreeing
Jogging up the stair Warren grabbed one of his button up shirts and then also grabbed one of
his extra blankets of his bed. When he got down stairs his mother had gotten a bunch of
pillows and had taken of the girls wet pants and folded them on the chair next to the couch.
" Now help her up and be easy we don't want to break the stitches" Mrs. Peace said
Gently Warren sat her up and slid the shirt onto her back then gently buttoning it up then
after adding the pillows and blankets he gently laid her back down.
It wasn't for another two hours until Ebony started to stir, as she looked around she began to
get scarred because she had no ideal where she was. Slowly she got up and even slowly the
world started to turn, then it all came back to her the knife her father. Her wings were gone
and she wasn't sure if she would ever get them back. This made Ebony want to cry but she
couldn't she wouldn't show weakness not again, it left her in a strange place. It was then she
realized that she was in a oversize button up shirt instead of her hoodie and jeans, not wanting
to know she shook her head. Hearing voices coming from down the hall way, she kept one
hand on the wall to keep her up straight and had the other ready to freeze somebody if she
needed to. When she finally got to the kitchen she saw a very pretty dark hair lady and to her
surprise Warren from school. He didn't see her because his back was to her but the lady did.
" O sweetie you shouldn't be up" Mrs. Peace said
" What happened um why am I here…" Ebony said but stopped mid sentence because the
world began to spin
" Here sit down" Warren said taking her hand and leading her to the table
" Goodness that must hurt do you want some ice for you face" Mrs. Peace said seeing the
bruise on her face
Gently feeling her face Ebony winced when she touched the spot where her father had hit her.
She wondered how he would get rid of the blood stained covers and feathers, but of course he
wouldn't do that he would pay somebody to do his dirty work like he always did.
" Would you like something to eat we where just about to eat dinner" Warren asked
" O no I don't want to impose" Ebony said once again realizing that she was in a strange
home
" Not at all dear you're a guest our house is yours" Mrs. Peace said
" Thank you" Ebony said quietly
" No problem Angel" Warren said
" I'm no Angel, but my name is Ebony" Ebony said
" I knew that but I didn't know your name so I figured id call you that since it fit" Warren said
" Honey set the table" Mrs. Peace said
With out a word Warren got up to do as his mother asked, grabbing plates and knives he set
the table. When that was done he helped his mother bring out the food which consisted of
Chicken in alrfardo sauce and noodles with a salad and some bread. Her stomach grumbled
making Ebony blush and the other too laugh.
" So Warren tells me you have healing powers can you only heal your self or other" Mrs.
Peace asked
" I can do both, but I find it easier to heal others" Ebony said
" Ah have you thought of going into the medical field" Mrs. Peace said
" No not really, I want to be a writer" Ebony said
" Perfect cover" Mrs. Peace said
" Cover" Ebony asked
" Yeah being a super hero is a job anything else is just a cover" Warren said finally speaking
up
" O" Ebony said
The rest of dinner went by quietly and mostly they just ate, thanking Mrs. Peace and after
being told she didn't have to help Ebony headed back to the living room. Seeing her bag by
the side of the couch Ebony Gingerly grabbed the one with her note book, knowing that if she
didn't get this emotions out of her system she would explode.
angel
"i don't want to wake up"
sad, fallen angel
how your tears make me see
the things that lie beneath the surface
"it would be better if i were dead"
your words are harsh
but only to yourself
and your eyes bleed the filth away
"I'm fucking sick of everything"
and you are the reason
the devils rise and angels fall
( By Bari thanks very much.)
With the shifting of the couch Ebony could see that Warren had come to join her, he had a
book in his hand and was intently reading it. She was thankful for that because she knew that
he was fully of questions that she wasn't sure she could answer unfortunately the silence
didn't last that long. Ebony was brought out of her thoughts by a hand on her arm.
" Who did this Angel" Warren asked softly
" Don't…" Ebony said
"That's what you said before now look at you" Warren said a twinge of annoyance to his
voice
" You think I don't know this, no Warren I can't do this" Ebony said getting up
" Just tell me maybe I can help" Warren said the softness coming back in his voice
" Help with what Warren I'm fucking broken there's no fixing me" Ebony said
" Well if you let me in maybe I can" He said
" Help are you going to give me my wings back, are you going to make it so I'm not a fucking
freak" Ebony said
" What do you mean" Warren said wondering who could get this thoughts into her head
" He cut off my wings and I'm the freak of my family" Ebony said
This was her breaking point everything that had happened that day came back , her father
had cut off her wings. She was officially a broken angel and now nobody could ever fix it. She
knew that the wounds on her back where healing but she didn't want to think of that. All she
could do was stare at the boy in front of her, so dark and tuff yet he looked lost as of now.
Warren slowly got off the couch and headed toward Ebony and carefully wrapped his arms
around her she was shaking. She tried to fight him and push away but he only held her closer
as if refusing to let her fall, she finally gave up and excepted it.
" What kind of monster could do something like this" He whispered
She didn't answer him just looked up at him with big green eyes that all you could see was the
eyes of a broken girl. The lust he had been feeling the week before slowly slipped away and
turned into something more although he didn't want to identify it now. After what seemed
like forever she finally just went limp in his arms falling asleep. Laying her gently on the couch
he walks into the kitchen where his mother is waiting for him.
" Her body is covered in bruises" Mrs. Peace said sadly
" She's a broken one" Warren said
" Did she tell you who did it" Mrs. Peace asked
" No but it's the same person who cut her wings" Warren said
" What!" Mrs. Peace nearly screamed
" She used to have beautiful pure white angel wings but somebody cut them rite off her back"
Warren said
" That's horrible only a monster could do that" Mrs. Peace said
" Yeah that's what I said" Warren said with a sigh
They changed topics and then soon headed up stairs.
