RAFFE- My heart was racing, I searched frantically. Penryn was out of my ranges of hearing, seeing, and smelling. "Penryn!" I shouted into the void of forest. A rustling caught my attention, running toward it, I almost tripped on the small girl coming my way.
She had my wings and scars, bruises and stitches crisscrossed her face, I knew this girl… This was Paige, this is Penryn's sister. "Paige, I'm Raffe, I'm helping your sister. Do you know where she is?" I asked as calm as I could be. Paige nodded and pointed toward the sky.
I followed her stare and I noticed an angel flying, he was holding someone who was struggling. "Paige, go find Sam." I ordered her and took to the skies.
PENRYN- I tried swinging my legs up to get a good kick into Uriels face. Beliel was flying ahead of us, riding a locust. "Would you stop fighting, I see why Raphael liked you" Uriel chuckled. I rolled my eyes "for the last time bird-brain, he doesn't nor did like me." I shouted and tried to kick again. Something dark pasted over us, Uriel cringed and dipped to one side when something cut into him, blood dripping down his wings.
"Well, well. Come to see your pet off" Uriel asked. Raffe hovered in front of us, he growled, "I'm not going to start this with her so close. You can get what you've always wanted. To get your ass kicked by me. Now let her go!" Raffe barked loudly. Uriel smiled, "whatever you say oh Wrath of God" Uriel grinned and dropped me. "No!" Raffe screamed, a locust blocked him while Uriel tried to throw a punch. I screamed and was grabbing at air.
RAFFE- I wasn't losing her again. Blocking Uriel's punch, Beliel flew away from fear. My adrenaline was pumping and Penryn's scream echoed in my head. Ignoring Uriel and the locust, I maneuvered my wings in quick and fast movements. The locust lunged at me, flying up it attacked Uriel. Frantic I flew the fasted I've ever gone, Penryn reacted for me while falling, "Raffe!" she called.
I remembered when I saw her on the basement floor, losing all will-power and control of herself. I flew faster, my wings hurt but I didn't care. Quickly tucking my wings in, I was hoping to get to her quicker. "Reach Penryn!" I shouted and held my hand out to her.
She stretched her arms out, our finger tips touched each other, but neither of us could get a grip. Pushing my wings out one more time I prayed I'd get close enough to grab her. Penryn shrieked when sharp tree branched started to collide with her.
I reacted out, pure desperation filled me. Barley just grabbing her hand, I pulled her up with me, hugging her tightly to my chest. I flew back into the sky, slowly descending to the ground. I took heavy breaths while holding her, I stoked her hair and I need to know she was in my arms.
The place she belonged, the place I was never going to let her escape. I would stay by her side, I would protect her from the evil lurking in the dark. I would have her. "Penryn" I said softly.
