When I woke up, I was lying on my stomach, feeling oddly light. Then I remembered where my wings were. I groaned as I sat up and saw Chase sitting against the couch watching the tv, the volume muted.

"I hope you don't mind, I cleaned and bandaged your wound. I gave you one of my old shirts, I threw your shirt away." He says not looking my way.

"How did you know who I was? I never told you that. Why do I remember you then not at the same time? Why did I even let you into my home?"

"I was the Angel that saved you, I healed you and have you my own blood. He told me that you needed to be saved, that I would need your help. I gave you my blood, which in turn made you recognize me and made you trust me. Knowing who you are just is a perk of being a former solider of Heaven." He looks at me, eyes filled with a hidden emotion.

"Why did you rip out your own wings?"

"It's one of the most painful things an Angel can go through. The Archangels are coming down after me soon, if I didn't then they would have done it slowly." He nods and looks at me sadly.
A few moments go by,  then there was a crash and I was pulled off the couch and slung through wall. I stood up shakily, and saw three Archangels surrounding me. I get into a defensive stance and they all laugh, especially Josiah.

"Rain, you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this." Josiah growls as the other, younger Archangels tackle my wobbly form and tie my legs with iron cables and driving a long blade through the knot forcing me onto my knees. Another cable wraps around my wrists pulling them out and tying them to a tree.

"Time to torture the innocent little Avenger." Josiah walks behind me and I feel a searing pain, my back feels like flames.

"Iron tipped whip. You're jackass!" I scream arching my back, refusing to let my tears to fall. Iron burns Angelic beings, it feels as if we are being ripped apart. No matter the pain, I'll never give them the satisfaction of hearing my agony.
Two of the Archangels have Chase between them and force him to watch, I watch as he screws his eyes closed against the gruesome scene.
