"Come with me, Gray."
The Angel's voice was muffled as my ears rang.
"No. I can't." I heard my own voice, with no awareness that I was speaking. "I have to go back- To Crimson, Artemis."
Suddenly, everything stopped spinning. My hand was at my chest, and looked down to see that it was now coated in blood- my blood.
"Oh- Wonderful." I grunted.
I felt the Angel behind me again, her hands wrapping around me from behind.
"No, let me go!" I gasped, making a pathetic attempt to get away from her. I didn't want to die.
"Get them!" I heard the longhaired man shout immediately, not daring to waste a second. The guards immediately followed the order, but I could tell that they weren't confident because the Angel was now set free. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if this was their first time finding out about what they were guarding. As the guards closed in, the Angel's grip on me tightened, and she was now hugging me close to her chest, in a way that I couldn't break apart from.
Suddenly, she let out this ear piercing scream, her wings unfolding, emphasizing their overwhelming size. The scream had caused the guards to be shot backwards, as if there was an invisible force that blew them away.
And then, within a beat of those giant wings, we were in the air. The sky had begun to get lighter, indicating the beginning of a new day.
"Put me down!" I demanded with a cough. "Why don't you go without me?!"
"I'm sorry, dear child. But your time has come." She responded, her face looking forward and her blue eyes blank. "Likewise for your friend, dear Artemis.
"No..." I gasped. I struggled to break free from her hold on me, idiotically unaware of the fact that we were many feet above the ground, and I would be falling to my death.
But it wasn't a big deal or anything now. I'm already a deadman.
"Let me go!" I continued to pant. "Can't you see that this is your fault?! Everything turned out this way because of you! You ruined my friendship with Jasper, you got Crimson killed, and Artemis wouldn't have had to be put in this position if it weren't for you!"
Alas, my first and last time throwing a tantrum.
"If you didn't exist, we would all be living normal lives! Crimson and I would be able to see our families! And Artemis would be doing art instead of being forced to kill people! We all could have been friends- Had a future together! But you ruined it- You destroyed our future!"
