Chapter 10

Jonathan sat in his and Angel's bedroom waiting for her to come back; he looked around then sighed "She didn't come back at all last night…" he muttered as he looked at the window as sunlight peeks slightly through the clouds. It had snowed hard during the night, which worried him "Damn it…" he said as he stood and walked to the door, opening it to find a small girl with a red bow in her blonde hair, she looked up at him, wiping tears from her eyes "Are you Jonathan?" she asked, her voice was weak

"Yes, and whom are you?"

"I-I'm E-Elizabeth, Angel's friend. I was supposed to meet her an hour ago…But she's nowhere to be seen" Liz began to shed tears again.

Jonathan stared at her in disbelief; he opened his mouth to say something but was cut off with someone shouting at them "Liz! Liz!" Liz turned to see Amy running at them

"What is it Amy?" she asked as her wrist was grabbed

"The. Garden. Hurry!" Amy gasped between breaths and dragged Liz after her.

Jonathan hesitated before following the two girls 'Angel where the hell are you' he asked himself as he ran behind the girls.

Amy held onto Liz as she shook in fear, "we examined it…and it's dry. It must have happened as least a day or two ago…"

"Oh god…." Liz breathed as she stared at the blood stained stone wall.

Jonathan touched it, examining the blood and stone "A fight has been taken place here…" he said quietly, and then looked at the girls. He noticed that all four of them had a bow tied to the back of their hairs; Liz looked at him, scared

"what is it Elizabeth?"

"You don't think Angel was involved in this do you?"

"Sadly, I am unsure. If the blood was still fresh I could catch their scent…"

Kristina looked around as the four people talk about the possibilities of the cause; she searched around a fountain where she found an orange rose on the ground. "Isabelle…" she said standing up, examining the rose, inside the petals was black dust, "Angel" she said as she lifted her head and faced everyone.

Amy noticed this and looked at her hard "So she was involved…" she whispered, Alisa, Liz, and Jonathan looked at her confused then looked at Kristina, "What is that?" Liz asked

"It's an orange rose…sound familiar?"

"Isabelle?" Alisa gasped

"Exactly" Amy said watching everyone

"If Isabelle was here, she must have had something to do with Angel or something" Liz said, she could see form the corner of her eye that Jonathan was paler than before, she felt like throwing up at the thought of Angel's state right now.

"To Isabelle?" Kristina asked

"Let's split into two groups." Liz said calmly "One group pursuits Isabelle. The other searches for Angel"

"I'm going to Deal with Isabelle" Amy said cracking her knuckles

"I will help find Angel!" Alisa said

"I'll join Amy" Jonathan said, remembering her name

"I'll help Alisa find Angel, and we'll bring Kristina"

Everyone nodded and split up; Jonathan and Amy go head to Isabelle's room to confront her, as Liz, Alisa, and Kristina go find Angel.

Angel sat beneath a tree, watching her surroundings. Her wounds seem to close up, "Are they infected?" she asked herself as she looked at her hand. A long cut that ran from her ring down to her wrist, it began to swell up.

"Merda" she hissed, she curled up into a ball again, wincing at the pain in her back "Damn…I shouldn't have gotten into a fight with her in the first place…" She shivered due to the cold air around her, she sighed.

"He's not going to come and find me is he?" she whispered to herself, feeling her body go numb, a tear streamed down her face, "He won't" she whispered, beginning to cry, she laid her forehead on her knees.

"I'm going to die aren't I?" she asked herself as her fingers went numb, "Please…Someone just come and find me…" she whispered before she finally passed out.

Her body tilted over and landed with a thud. Angel laid there unmoving, praying someone would find her soon.

~0~0~0~0~

Amy looked at Liz as they walked through the forest east of the palace, "Don't worry, we'll find her"

"I hope so…" Liz whispered, looking at the black dust, "If she's out here wounded she won't last any longer"

"We just need to follow the trail of foot prints; she's bound to be here" Amy said pulling Liz along with her.

Kristina looked around for clues, to help them find Angel faster. They knew they didn't have much time left if she was wounded badly, and with this weather she wouldn't last much longer.

They looked up in the trees, by bushes, and around trees. Still no sign of her anywhere "Angel!" Liz shouted, "Angel where are you?"

"Liz if she was wounded and is in this weather she may not be awake, she maybe out cold, literally" Kristina said, watching the two girls

"I just want to find her quick, because Jonathan will be devastated"

"I know, so let's hurry"

The three of them continued to search for what seem like an hour, "Angel where are yo- AHH!" Liz screams as she falls over something.

"Liz are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fi-" she stared at what had tripped her and stared to cry "ANGEL!" She screamed brushing snow off of her friend, "Angel! Come on wake up!" she shook Angel's body violently.

Amy Pulls Liz away as Kristina Picks Angel up and places her on her back, "We have to hurry, she is ice cold"

The two nodded and followed Kristina, 'Keep fighting Angel, we're going to save you. Just keep on fighting for the life you want' Amy's mind whispered

'Please stay with us Angel, Please' Liz prayed, keeping her hands together, hoping for the recovery of her friend.

Jonathan and Alisa stood in Isabelle's room, glaring at her, "What is it?" she asked innocently, looking at Jonathan, ignoring Alisa completely

"We know you were in the garden with Angel, next time you should clean up the mess to hide you're act Isabelle"

"Why would I do that? I wouldn't hurt a fly"

"Explain this Isabelle" Alisa said, holding up an orange rose, "You're the only one here whom owns orange roses…" Isabelle's eyes narrowed dangerously. Alisa smiled, knowing they a bulls eyes

"So what if something happens to that Italian idiot…"

"She's not an idiot"

"Why do you even care for her? It's been only two to three weeks, you hardly even know her!" Isabelle screamed, causing Alisa to hide behind Jonathan

"Enough Isabelle"

"She is nothing but a girl!"

"I said enough Isabelle!" Jonathan said, raising his voice above hers.

Isabelle stared at him, she opens her mouth to say something but was cut off with the door opening, "Jonathan! Alisa!" Amy's voice yelled. The three of them looked at her "We found her! We found Angel!"

"Really?" Alisa gasped, running out the door with Amy; Jonathan looked at Isabelle "Disgrace" he muttered as he ran out of the room, leaving Isabelle to stare out the open door.

~0~0~0~0~0~

Jonathan sat on one side of Angel on Liz's bed, holding onto Angel's hand, "She's ice cold, she must have been out there during last night's storm" Liz sat at Angel's feet as everyone else sat on one part of the bed or stood on the bedside.

Liz watched everyone as they all watched Angel's face, she was sleeping peacefully. Jonathan tended to her hand, wrapping it tightly after cleaning out the infection. Liz and the other girls tended to her other wounds, cleaning out the infections.

The girls went to go find Angel some food and water as Jonathan stayed beside Angel, he looked at her sleeping face, "Thank god you're alright Angel" he whispered, leaning down and kisses her forehead. He felt her head move slightly, freezing, watching as Angel's eyes opened slightly.

Angel blinked a few times before her vision finally cleared up, she stared at Jonathan for what seems like forever when she smiles, "Hi there Jonathan" she said quietly, she looked at him confused as he sees him hesitantly move and kissed her full on the mouth. Angel's eyes widened, looking at Jonathan, she then finally relaxed and closed her eyes.

Just when she was going to hold his other hand, someone's throat cleared, Jonathan moved away, looking at the door to find the four girls watching them, with big smiles. Both Angel and Jonathan blush a deep shade of red, Angel hid under the covers, but didn't dare let go of Jonathan's hand "Sorry that we interrupted!" Alisa said, giggling

"It is quite alright" Jonathan said after clearing his throat

"Angel's got a boyfriend! Why didn't you tell us?" Liz asked, going to the other side of the bed, peeking under the sheets seeing Angel covering her face, hiding a blush "Come on tell us!"

"Tell you what?"

"How it was" Liz said with a smile

"C-C-Che cazzo?" she squealed, blushing even more making Liz laugh.

Jonathan sat beside the bed, rubbing the back of his neck, embarrassed.

Angel laid under the covers hiding her excitement, repeating the scene over and over in her head, she smiled softly as she peeked from under the blanket looking at everyone.

"Thank you for saving me, all of you" Angel said smiling at them all

"No prob Angel!"

"You're welcome!"

"It was no trouble at all Angel"

"No problem"

"You're welcome Angelina" Jonathan said kissing her hand, causing her to blush, and causing the three girls to say 'Aww!'

Angel looked at them all, 'Grazie dio per avermi dato questa vita, io la cara sempre e per sempre' her mind whispered as she smiled softly, thanking god once more.
