Fallen

The Awakening

When I woke I had no clue where I was I was in a dark candle lit room in a bed with black pillows and black sheets I stood up only to realise my wings where out and I was wearing something completely different I had on torn black skinny jeans a ripped up black top with a strange logo on it I guess? A weird three dimensional start with spikes and marks around it. I had black lace gloves covering the bottom third of my arm and tartan blue boots. What the hell is going on? I though to myself I walked over to a mirror to see the symbol on my shirt on the top of my arm. Did they fucking tattoo me?! I tried to rub it off but nope it was there for good. I heard voices outside the cloth which I suppose was meant to be a door. I only then realised the dagger strapped to the top of my thigh I gripped it tightly slowly walking out of the room. I just go to get out of here I though to myself. I walked towards the door pulling the cloth back.
"She's awake!" I heard someone yell.
Turning my head towards them faster than I though was possible I saw a girl about 18 there wings where tinted blue. An angel of protection.
"You where a mess last night when the he brought you here, are you feeling okay?" She asked.
"Uh, yeah just terribly confused" I said loosening the grip I had on my dagger but not entirely I'm not stupid enough to let my defence down simply because there's another angel here.
"Crap you must be alright I'll fill you in follow me you look like you could do with some food" she said smiling.
I silently followed her into another room in the centre a large buffet was set out around it many old wooden tables with angels blue and red sitting all over the place. I did know there where so many I was shocked. I let go of my dagger I felt weirdly safe and it was always there if I needed it. Why would they give me a dagger if they where going to hurt me anyways?
"Right so this is going to be like summing up the Harry Potter series," she laughed.
"Well I'm not in a rush to go anywhere so take your time," I replied.
"Okay so how much about our history do you know?" She asked with a serious tone in her voice.
"Well um, I know about the Great War against the sides and the black winged angel who fought and won the war and ever since well as far as I knew where where going down in numbers I thought there where only 12 left," I said looking around at all the angels. I noticed they where all staring at me.
"Why is everyone staring..." I asked before she could reply to me previous answer.
"You're a black winged angel there's only two of you it's a bit of a big deal... YES THERES A NEW PERSON NOW STOP STARING," yelled.
"Okay so do you know anything about the clans?" She said focusing on me again.
"The clans?" I replied feeling dumb to not know my own history.
"After the Great War the two sides decided to remain separate however 5 other winged family's decided they wanted nothing to do with either clan. The 5 family's are the Martins, Shallots, Motionless, Pitts and the Ellis's. The Pitts family rejoined our clan about fifty years ago however it's believed that two of the other family's are extinct and the other two are close to extinction. Which family are you?" She asked.
I stared at her for a while shocked that I never knew this.
"I'm a Shallot," I replied still shocked.
"You guys aren't extinct then" she smiled.
"There's only two of us left my blue winged father and me my mother is mortal," I said softly.
"Ah close to extinction then," she replied looking synthetic.
"Anyways this is the clan of the black winged angel he's the one whom brought you here," she stated.
"Wait if I'm from a separate family why did he bring me to the clan?" I asked.
"Because he wasn't going to let a black winged angel die on the streets you went prepped for your family to leave you and here we don't leave our young. Obviously you have the choice to leave if you wish but he wanted you to have the option to join the clan," she said.
"I know it's a lot to take in, but give this place a chance were not the richest of clans but we do our best and we offer protection.." Star started before I saw a man walking towards us who cut her off.
"Scarlet?" He asked looking at me.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Would you mind coming with me the elders would like to talk with you I know saying 'the elders' may sound intimidating but don't worry they just want to talk" he smiled.
"Uh yeah okay" I replied.
The girl grabbed my hand.
"Just so you know, I'm scar and it was nice to talk to you" she smiled.
"Scarlet" I replied then realising she obviously knew my name "nice to meet you to" I said quickly before walking with the man.
"Just to join in I'm Jacob" he laughed.
