HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY EVERYONE! I'm back with yet again, another chapter to "Secretless". Sorry if this seems a little rushed, but I didn't review it that well. :/ It's done none the less though! :3 SO READ ON!
Chapter: 28
I couldn't watch... It had been five minutes since the Angel started doing her "wonder work" on Cole, and it was making me go insane. I couldn't take this... I couldn't stand the wait. I guess you could say the anticipation was killing me... At one point, she started to literally "dig" into him!
"What are you doing to him?! You're practically tearing him apart!" I told her, making her stop for a brief second.
"Oh no no no no! I know what it looks like, but it's not what it seems! You see, I have to check to see if he has lead poisoning, and if he does, remove it!" She informed me, in the same joyful tone.
"Lead poisoning? How would you remove poison like that?!" I said, losing it a bit.
She didn't respond immediately, but eventually she took her paws out of Cole's side, bringing a small grey substance out with it. It looked like a liquid, but it was floating in her luminescent paw in a small ball.
"Uh, helloooo?! Angel!" She said, gesturing to herself, smiling.
"What is that...?" I asked in wonder.
"This is the stuff that would be killing your boyfriend once I revived him! The lead! Well, in liquid form. This is only a quarter of the poison in his system! Just wait until I get it all out! Then I can close these wounds, and see if I can make this big boy breathe again!"
I couldn't understand how this Angel wasn't getting angry at me for how annoying I was being! If I were her, and I had to deal with me, I would have told myself to shut up or something... Ok, maybe not shut up, that's a little mean to say to someone who just went through the death of their boyfriend and or girlfriend... You know what I mean. The Angel looked at me for a second.
"Jeez, look at you! You look like a leaf out in the middle of a storm with how much you're shaking! You poor thing!..." The Angel said, switching back and forth between Cole and I.
I couldn't help it... I was just so worried about Cole. What if all of this was for nothing? What if he doesn't get up? What if we end up burying him? I won't be able to live with myself... It would be my fault and... I don't even want to think about what I would do... I know what I would do to myself...
"Don't worry Sweety, I have a feeling he'll be just fine..." The Angel said to me again, smiling a warm smile.
"How can you be sure...?" I asked her.
"Well I can't be... But I can be sure about one thing..."
She pulled her paw out of him with a sickening squishing noise, making me wince a little. Half of the reason being because of the sound, and the other half because I imagined how much it would hurt to be awake and alive throughout that whole thing.
"He won't be poisoned and end up dying again, if and when, I revive him!" She said, the sphere of poison floating in her paw.
It had gotten three times the size it was before, though it was still about the size of my fist. I could have sworn lead was a solid, not a liquid...
"I thought lead was a solid." I said to the Angel, trying to keep my mind on something else other than Cole.
"Lead is a solid!" She confirmed.
"Well why is like... 'that' then? I'm pretty sure that's a liquid, not a solid..."
"Ohhh... Sweety this is a liquid because... This is the lead mixed with his blood..."
Sweety? That sounds like something Cole would say... I was obviously failing to stop thinking about Cole... Considering I had only made it worse for myself.
"See the red?" She asked, holding the sphere closer.
I didn't believe her at first, but it was true. I could see the small shades of red mixed with the dark, sickening grey. It wasn't like the grey on wolf fur, it was that dull, colorless, grey that was light, dark, and depressing. Not like Cole or Humphrey's fur, where it was either a light grey, or a the dark grey that actually looked like a color... If his blood wasn't pooling on the ground around him, or coated on his fur, it was in that sphere... It must have been all that was left in him. It pulled at my heart strings, and made me want to cry... But I would stay strong for him.
"S-So... You're done? That's it? N-Now you can bring him back...?" I asked her.
"Once I patch up these wounds, I certainly will try! No guarantees though." The Angel responded, making the sphere harden, and rolling it towards me.
"Here, do something with that! I don't need it anymore, and he certainly doesn't." She said pointing at Cole, and having her paw produce a bright light.
I wanted to smash that sphere, knowing this was what would have killed him even if we did stop the bleeding. I decided otherwise, and kept the ball as a souvenir, hoping I could show Cole... I watched as the light seemingly sowed Cole's wounds together, leaving a wicked scar behind. It seemed much bigger than the wound itself... It was probably because the Angel had to stick her paw in his side...
"Ok, now for the moment of truth!" She said, getting in front of his face.
She started to lean down, but stopped halfway to look at me.
"This isn't anything personal."
"...What's not anything personal?" I asked curiously.
She answered my question rather quickly when she leaned over the rest of the way, giving the top of Cole's muzzle a kiss. I could feel this... strange feeling inside of me when I saw her lips connect with his face. Was I actually... jealous?!
"Why uhhh... Why did you kiss him?" I asked.
She smiled at me and giggled.
"Don't you know what's in an Angel's kiss?" She asked, making me shake my head.
"Angel's are like magical beings... All female Angels, and even some males, have powers in their kisses! Our kisses can bring about love, peace, happiness, and even life!"
"Wait... Love?" I asked.
"Yes, even love!" She confirmed.
This made me smile a little... A kiss from an Angel could make you fall in love with them... I couldn't wait to tell Cole this... Hopefully... As if on cue, Cole's body started to illuminate a faint light... Straight through his fur!
"Is it working?" I asked the Angel.
"Maybe... We'll know if he gets up."
We watched for a few minutes, hearing whispers from the crowd. Some conversations negative, some positive... At last, the light vanished, and we all looked closely for any signs of life.
"Come on Cole... Please... Please Cole get up...!" I whispered to him, walking over to him, and taking his paw in mine.
"Please... Please Cole... Please don't leave me..."
What will happen next?! Will the kiss work? You guys will have to wait and find out... ;) So be sure to leave a review telling me how I did! Good, bad, wolfy?! Hahaha! You tell me! Stay awesome my wondrous readers, and as always... Until next time my friends...
