"Hey angel girl." Raynare grunted and rolled onto her side as Azazel tried to wake her up.
"Go away." She muttered.
Azazel pouted as he started to poke her face. "But Angel Girl, I made breakfast for us. You don't want it to get cold and get wasted do you?" Azazel told her.
"Yes." Raynare mumbled. Azazel sighed.
"Get up." He said flatly as he flipped her onto the floor. She cursed loudly as she was flipped and was quieted when her has hit the floor hard. She quickly untangles herself from her blankets and stands up, glaring at Azazel with severe anger.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" She snapped.
"Hey, if I didn't wake you, you'd sleep in again and miss your appointment with that kid you told me about." He replied with a shrug. Raynare grumbled at his logic, seeing that he was right about being late if she slept in for to much longer.
"You still didn't need to flip me off the freaking couch." Raynare told him grumpily.
"Yeah, I know I didn't need to. It was just something I felt like doing." Azazel replied with a smirk.
Raynare's eye twitched."I hate you so much."
"I know." Azazel replied. "Now come eat something and go see that kid." Azazel walked towards his kitchen with Raynare sluggishly following behind. They sat at the table and ate eggs with bacon and toast with a cup of coffee. When they were finished eating, Raynare got up and walked towards the door.
"I'm going to meet up with Harry." Raynare told Azazel, who waved goodbye.
"Have fun!" Azazel yelled after her. Azazel sat down in his armchair and watched with a smirk as Raynare attempted to fly again. Only to fall and hit the ground while cussing up a storm, causing him to chuckle to himself. 'When will she ever learn?' Azazel thought to himself as he picked up a newspaper and started reading it.
"GODDAMN THIS SNOW!" Raynare yelled as she flapped her wings widely as she tried to get herself out of the snow.
"You need to stop trying to fly in this weather!" Azazel called out the window, not looking up from his paper.
Just then, she got her head freed and glared at the window. "Screw you! I'll do what I want!" Raynare told him as she tried to fly again, only to fall again and hit a tree.
"Well, you're in charge of your own life." Azazel said with a shrug as a massive pile of snow fell on Raynare from atop the branches. Azazel could hear her cussing loudly again as he closed his window, wanting to pay more attention to his newspaper and not be distracted by Raynare's yelling and cussing. "I hope she never stops." He said with a chuckle. "Her little mishaps are way too amusing."
It took three minutes for Raynare to get out of the snow and get airborne. When she was in the air, however, she immediately thought better of it and landed gracefully in the snow. 'Don't want to get stuck in the snow again do I?' Raynare stated to herself as she put away her wings and walked to the house Harry was living at.
It took her a good thirty minutes to reach the familiar boring house, but when she did, Harry was nowhere to be seen. Raynare was confused and looked everywhere, even behind the shed. He was still no where to be seen. 'That's weird.' Raynare thought as she scratched her head. 'He's usually out here by now.'
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of a screaming child, coming from inside the house.
Her head snapped towards the house when she recognized who it was. 'It sounds like...HARRY!' In worry, Raynare dashed towards the back door and attempted to peek inside to see if she could see anything. She couldn't get a good glimpse inside. Scowling, she brought her wings out once more and used them to fly up to a branch on top of a tree, allowing her to peek through the window.
What she saw on the other side of the window would be forever be burned into her memory as she witness an already bleeding and broken Harry being beaten by his oversized uncle with a poker.
"BURN MY LUNCH, WILL YOU, YOU WORTHLESS LITTLE FREAK?! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STAND WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU! AND DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO STOP ME FROM GIVING YOU CHORES!" He then proceeded to smash the poker into his leg, causing a audible cracking sound to be heard, signifying that the leg was now broken. Harry screamed in agony again, tears streaming down his face. "SHUT UP AND STOP CRYING!" Vernon slammed the poker into the broken leg, worsening the damage.
At his point, Raynare was extremely angry. No scratch that, she was absolutely murderous at this point, furious to see Harry suffering so much pain.
Without wasting another moment, she unfurled her wings, then slammed through the window, eyes glaring madly at Vernon as she flew in his direction.
Vernon had just turned his head to see what the shattering noise was, and the moment he did so, he found himself pinned to the ground, an enraged fallen angel sitting on top of him, her hands wrapped tightly around his throat, teeth gritted in righteous fury.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU FOR HURTING HIM!" Raynare yelled as she squeezed harder, causing Vernon to make choking sounds. The obese man began to struggle desperately against Raynare's strangling, to no avail. Without wasting another moment, the fallen angel summoned a spear of light. With eyes conveying no mercy, she held the spear aloft and rammed it into Vernon's chest multiple times, wanting him to feel the pain of every stab. Vernon started to make gurgling noises as blood started to flood his lungs. Within a span of twenty seconds, Vernon's body slackened, signifying that he was dead. Raynare panted heavily, her anger not fully subsided. Harry looked up at her in fear. She gave him a cold glare, then wordlessly picked him up and stormed out the door. She walked out of the house and towards Azazel's place, faintly hearing a high pitched scream coming from the house she just left. All the while, Harry was quiet in Raynare's arms, too scared of her at the moment to make a peep.
Raynare eventually stopped to take a break, using her wings to fly up to a tree branch where they would not be seen. She glared down at Harry, who looked up at her nervously. She took a deep breath before speaking.
"You...stupid...STUPID boy!" She said angrily. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE WAY HE WAS TREATING YOU YESTERDAY?! I COULD HAVE HAD YOU OUT OF THERE WAY SOONER, AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN YOUR LEG! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU DON'T TRUST ME, YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL, ENOUGH TO TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE IN PAIN?! IF THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL! I CAN'T GUARD SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T TRUST-" She stopped yelling when she heard the sound of Harry crying.
He was hiding his face in her chest and crying into it, making her heart pang in guilt. 'Okay Raynare, reel in the anger. He's been through enough.' Raynare told herself as she took deep breathes to calm herself down. When she finally calmed herself, she sighed and looked at Harry. She saw the emotional state she had put him in, and felt tears of her own fall down her face. "...I'm sorry...I'm so, SO sorry..." She whispered. She hugged him to her chest and rested her chin on his head. This did not cease the little boy's sobbing in the slightest. He cried into her chest and she began to cry as well. "I'm sorry, Harry..." Raynare said once she steeled herself. "Don't cry...I'm not mad at you, I promise..."
Harry looked up at her with tear stricken eyes. "Y-you p-p-promise?" Harry asked her between sobs.
Raynare smiled sadly. "Cross my heart..." She said softly. Harry was able to muster up a smile as he snuggled up to her chest and hugged her. Raynare hugged back and planted a kiss on the top of his head. Harry was surprised by what she did and looked up at her in shock. "W-what was that?"
Raynare frowned. "Oh, don't tell me you don't even know what a kiss is." She said sadly. He shook his head no, causing Raynare to frown. "Well, a kiss is what happens when I do this." Raynare explained as she kissed him on the head again.
Harry giggled at the second kiss. "Um...I really like it..." He admitted shyly.
Raynare smiled, happy that he wasn't upset anymore. "Alright then, how about I give you another when we make it to where I'm staying?" Raynare offered Harry, who nodded his head yes.
"Wait...Does that mean..."
"You're living with me from now on."
Those words made Harry the happiest little kid in the world at that moment. He hugged Raynare and nuzzled her chest, saying thank you over and over again. Raynare laughed, a completely genuine sound. "Okay, okay. You don't need to thank me." She said gently as she wrapped her wings around him. He closed his eyes and cuddled into her soft and warm wings. Then, ten seconds later, he fell asleep, his tiny head rested snugly on her chest.
At that moment, Raynare knew what she had to do. Raise Harry as her own.
