Song: What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts
Chapter seven: Awakening
Antithesis doubled over in pain. She felt like she was going to throw up. She'd never felt anything like that before. It was like the weight of the world was crashing down on her. Like, all of the world's misery and pain was being thrown at her.
"Antithesis!" Clary yelled. She could see the girl on the floor writhing in pain. There was no way this girl would last any longer, that close to all that demonic energy. She had to help her. Jace ran past her. He had his stele in his hands and he was ready to fight.
"Get her out of here Clary!" Jace said glancing at the girl.
"What about you?" Clary ran over to Antithesis pulling her up by her forearm to a standing position.
"Alec, Isabelle and Maia got my back." Jace called. Tracy had emerged from the room, her crimson eyes glowing bright.
"GO!" Jace shouted. Clary nodded reluctantly, and lead Antithesis towards the door. The only safe place for the girl would be away from the school.
"NO!" Tracy hissed her purple hair shooting out like tentacles and grabbing Cary's leg. Jace jumped into action immediately slicing through the demons hair. Tracy shrieked and dove for him. Isabelle's whip caught her by the throat. Isabelle pulled her to the ground where Jace delivered the final blow.
Tracy shrieked, just as the bell rang. Her body began to fold in on itself and she disappeared just as the student body filed into the hallway.
"That was fun." Jace smirked patting his hair down. "And, I didn't even get a drop of demon blood on my Aeropostale shirt."
***
Antithesis gripped the bottle of water tightly. Magnus, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Maia, and Simon all had circled around her and were bombarding her with question. Well mostly Isabelle was.
"So, what did you see?" Isabelle asked.
I saw demons, Antithesis thought. She didn't say anything though, just stared at the floor.
"Annie, it's really important that you tell us what you saw." Clary flashed Isabelle a warning glare. They'd never get Antithesis to talk if they were being intimidating. They had to approach her like slowly, not like they were lions and she was their pray.
"I don't know." Antithesis said finally finding her voice. It was a lie; She knew what she'd seen. She'd seen demons.
"You don't know? How can you not know? Are you blind or something. You have to have seen something!" Jace exclaimed.
"Not so loud, I am running a class here and I really don't feel like wasting-----------------" Alec shot Magnus a glare and he stopped mid-sentence. "Well, I really don't feel like making everyone stop what they're doing."
"Did you see a dog or an animal?" Clary asked.
"I don't know." Antithesis repeated. She wanted to get out of the school. She wanted to run away. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry, but most of all she wanted everybody to leave her alone.
"Annie, do you remember what happened after you left the cafeteria?" Alec asked, attempting to get an answer from her.
"I don't know. Can I please go to the nurse, I don't feel well." Antithesis leaned forward and put her hands over her face. Her stomach felt like it was someone was squeezing it and setting it on fire at the same time.
"Annie, please just talk to us." Clary pleaded.
Antithesis stomach lurched and she put her hand over her mouth and gagged.
"Maia, grab that trashcan!" Clary said. The poor girl. Antithesis looked a pitiful. She was sweating and she looked as pale as a mixed person could look. Her eyes looked tired, really tired. Her black hair was sticking to her forehead and the back of her neck. Maia grabbed the trashcan and sat it in front of her.
Antithesis stomach lurched again and her mouth was full with a liquid that tasted coppery and metallic. Blood, She was throwing up blood! She spit the red liquid in the trashcan. Her stomach lurched again and more blood stained the bottom of the garbage can red.
"She's throwing up blood." Clary panicked, patting the girls back. Antithesis hadn't noticed that she was crying, or that her tears were red either. "Magnus, do something!"
Antithesis was crying full-fledged, now she didn't care who saw her. She was in so much pain all she wanted to do was close her eyes and make the pain stop. She threw up one last time before she faded into darkness.
Clary didn't know what to do. She caught the girl from falling over and looked to the group for help.
"We have to take her back to the institute." Clary pushed Annie's hair from her forehead. She was burning up.
"We can't she's a mundie." Isabelle disagreed.
"We can take her back to my place. It's closer." Magnus said.
"What about your class?" Alec asked looking at the students that filled the back row of the auditorium.
"They won't even notice I'm gone. Less talk and more hurry. We have to help Ankara." Magnus said.
" Her name is Annie."
"Annie, Ankara, It's all the same to me." Magnus cat-like eyes shifted slightly, and if you didn't know him you would have thought he was just looking down for a quick second, but Alec knew him and he knew that meant Magnus was lying.
But, Magnus had no reason to lie about Antithesis's name. What was he hiding? Alec decided he'd ask later.
"This is you're punishment Ankara." The angel's voice was a soft deadly melody in her ears. The angel was breathtaking. It's golden wings stretched endlessly behind it, and it's all seeing eyes ripped at her soul. Ankara fell to her knees begging for the mercy of god. It hadn't been her fault. It wasn't what she wanted. Couldn't the angel see.
"You have sinned Ankara, and your sin was great. So shall be your punishment." Ankara watched the beautiful creature as it stretched its glowing arm towards her. She cringed.
"Come Ankara , Come." Ankara closed her eyes. She didn't want this. All she'd done was try to help. All she'd wanted to do was free him. He'd seemed so tortured, so afraid, she just wanted to help…………….
"You will live, Ankara. You will watch lifetimes go by unable to see; You will live in exile from your race. You Ankara have fallen from the grace of god, and so you shall walk without sight and be blind to your world, you will remember nothing from your past life where you dwelled in the kingdom. You, Ankara have been damned for the sin of adultery with a demon."
Ankara cried her once crystal tears now drops of blood as they hit the ground. She hadn't meant to. She hadn't known. He'd tricked her, and yet she was still blamed.
"Please brother, spare me." Ankara pleaded, she felt her wings being ripped from her back, and yet she still pleaded.
"You are no longer among are ranks, Ankara. You will live among the humans bound and ignorant. Never again shall you defile the threshold."
That was here punishment to be exiled from heaven, forever to live unaware of the world she'd come from. To live among the humans without knowing who she truly was until judgment day, to know nothing of the sin she'd committed. It was quite merciful once she thought about it. The last of her wings were stripped away and she closed her eyes awaiting her descent.
"Farewell, Ankara."
Antithesis eye's snapped open and she sat up. Her head still hurt, but her stomach felt fine. Where was she? She knew she wasn't at home. Her room wasn't this big. Her bed wasn't that soft.
"You're finally awake.'' Magnus stood leaned against the far wall, watching her with his cat like eyes.
"Where am I? Antithesis asked
"The question isn't where you are. It's who are you." Magnus stepped away from the wall.
"Antithesis Merryshaw." She responded. Why wouldn't she know her name? What had happened? Had she hit her head? That would have explained the headache. She wanted to believe that, but she suddenly remembered what had happened.
"There where demons, and they tried to kill me." Antithesis looked up at Magnus.
"Why were they trying to kill you?
"I don't know."
"Think, Antithesis. You know why."
Antithesis stared up at Magnus. Did she? She did, but she couldn't remember It was one of those things that seemed obvious, like the capital of the united states of America. But for some reason you couldn't remember, but you knew you should.
"Because, I'm a fallen angel."
