Fallen

Chapter 10

Savannah's P.o.V

She knew what I was, yet she held her ground. How did she know? Was she an angel to, but wait she couldn't be. I looked closer at her, she has to have angel in her somewhere. I thought.

"Names Lia," she answered, "you got one?" She asked.

"Sa-Savannah," I whispered.

At first I didn't think she heard me but then she sighed, "Welcome Savannah, now if you would please stand up and follow me?" She asked.

I shook my head, "Isn't safe out there. Wait did you feel the cold on your way here?"

"Yeah, why? Is something out there." She panicked.

I nodded, "I don't know what, but it's dangerous. We need to leave now, it's probably on its way." I stood up and ran towards the broken door, no chill. "I think we're good for now," I sighed out. "hurry up."

"Do you even know where we're going?" She asked sounding frustrated.

I paused, there was that house at the edge of the woods. Maybe that's where we were going. I climbed the tree again, but Lia didn't follow. I turned to look at her and she stared at me.

"What are you doing?" She hissed. "Be careful!"

"Climbing a tree? What do you think I'm doing?" I resorted sarcastically. "I've done so my entire life. I don't think I really need to worry."

She mumbled something I couldn't comprehend and I focused back on climbing the trees. Lia running behind me, I ran farther ahead and the house came in view. Hopping down from the branch I was on I landed in front of her, "My god this isn't Twilight!" She shouted.

I tilted my head at her? Twilight? "Never mind," she fumed. She sure seemed short tempered.

"Is that boy I saw earlier your brother? You look alike." I asked.

She tensed, "What boy?"

"I think I heard you say his name was Alex earlier this morning?" I questioned more myself then her, as I was trying to remember the conversation I heard while running.

She froze, "Did something scratch him?"

"Yes, and it's the same thing that's a danger to us right now," I answered.

"Will it affect him?" She asked with concern.

"Not the human side, and nothing's happened to me yet so he shouldn't get anything but if he does it would be like a cold with a mild fever." I answered.

"He doesn't know what he is," she said solemnly.

"You've got angel blood in you, don't you?" I asked.

She nodded her head in response and spoke in a hoarse voice. "My dad was an angel, my mom was human. They fell in love shortly after he had fallen and they married a few years later. They had me and then my brother." 

"I thought it was impossible for humans and angels to recreate." I thought out loud. "It doesn't make any sense."

"My dad thought so too, when they found out my mom was pregnant with me they were afraid that there would be something wrong. But there isn't, I'm healthy and we're just like every other human." 

"How did you find out?" 

"They came to me one day, they told me that what they were about to tell me was to be kept a secret. They told me about how he had fallen and found my mom and everything in between. I didn't believe them I thought they were crazy. There was no way my dad could have been an angel, but they weren't." She sighed and began to walk. "They told me they had to leave, something bad was after them and it wouldn't stop. Dad told me that they might not come back, and to keep Alex safe, they were doing this for us. I was eleven." 

"I'm sorry." 

"Yeah, me too." 

We walked the rest of the way in silence, when we got to the entrance of the woods Lia walked towards the house I saw and opened the door, "You can come in," She said, "there's nothing to be afraid of in here, especially compared to the woods. 

I nodded and walked in, "Why did you decide to go to the tree house? It looks like it's been abandoned"

"That's because it has been, and besides the fact that I was getting a feeling to go there all of a sudden I don't really know."
