Chapter 6

"Well that's rude, not inviting us to join in their secret little meeting" Cam said, while filling a bowl with hot water and getting a cloth.
"You know we can't risk Luce hearing, and they'll tell us later" Daniel replied.

Daniel sat cross legged in front of Luce on the floor, he placed his hands under her arms, "Luce? We'll have to sit you up? that ok?". Luce mumbled something incoherent. "Guess that's a yes" Cam smirked, walking back over and sitting behind her, wringing out the cloth.

Daniel lifted Luce so she was sitting cross legged in front of him, her tiny body slot in with his, and she leaned forward and rested her head on his chest.

"Ready?" Cam asked. Daniel nodded and held Luce's arms while stroking them with his thumbs.
Blinding pain reached through the fog of Luce's mind and she sat up straight. She gave a small scream before trying to crawl away, but Daniel held a firm grip on her arms. Once again another shoot of pain went through her back, and tears began to fall from her eyes. Daniel's guilt was over whelming, he couldn't stand to see her like this. "I'm so sorry Luce" His voice washed over her making her feel confused, what was he sorry about. This thought disappeared however as she felt Cam wipe once more at her back. At that moment she turned around so abruptly catching Daniel off guard who'd loosened his grip.

"D-d-don't!" Luce managed to stutter out, pushing back on Cams chest, although it would be like moving a wall, he stared at her with pain in his eyes. "I'm sorry Luce, but it has to get worse before it gets better" He said, with a sad look in his eyes.
"It's too painful" Luce said, with tears rolling down her checks.
"Come here" Daniel Leaned forward and turned her back round, placing his hand on her head, guiding her to lean on his chest. Taking in his warmth, and listening to his heartbeat, a steady rhythm, Luce soon slipped in unconsciousness.

"Thought you didn't want her to sleep" Cam stated, while gently wiping Luce's back with the warm water.
"I couldn't see her in pain anymore" Daniel looked down at Luce, who had her rested against his chest and was breathing steadily.
"What about her wrist" Cam pointed down to Luce's wrist.
"I can't pop it back, could you?" Daniel held her petite fragile wrist in his strong hands.
Cam held his hands up as in mock surrender "Hey Hey now, I'm on back duty, you have to do something!"
Daniel signed, and as quick as he could, placed her wrist back in its socket. He leaned over to Arrianne's bag and got out a bandage and began bandaging it up.

Until the early hours of the morning Cam and Daniel cleaned Luce of all of the blood, covered and bandaged her wounds, and placed one of Daniels t-shirts over her. Although they were fitted on him, the top was baggy on her and not sticking to her back.
Daniel lifted her up, and placed her in his bed, on her side, pulling the covers over.

Soon after Arriane, Roland, Molly and Gabbe came in.
"How's Luce?" Arriane asked, walking over to see Luce sleeping soundly.
"Ok while she sleeping. Might need a few more pain relievers tomorrow! It's going to be a long day!" Cam explained, while collapsing on the bed near Luce.
"So what happened tonight?" Gabbe asked.
Arriane gave out a loud sigh "it's the outcasts, they know Luce is here, and they know Lucifer is after her. They want to sacrifice her..."
"WHAT?" Cam, Daniel, Molly and Gabbe shouted at the same time.
Arriane sighed "That's not the worse part...we only have 7 days to before Lucifer is planning to pay her a visit"
All the angels stood around shocked, and in silence.
