My Guardian Angel (My Angel #1)

Chapter 19- Loose Ends

Calla's POV

Get down to business? What?

"Let me explain some things to you."

Please do...

"I am Julian. I was the second in command for the Council. Now, I am the leader. I don't understand what his obsession was with you all, but I don't care. I don't give a shit about the prophecy, or about who you all love. It's not my concern. But, you all are fired from your jobs. You all are terribly unloyal. So now you have some choices to make. Ethan, step forward."

Evander stepped away from me warily.

"You all don't have to make them until I have given each one of you your options. So, Ethan. You defied our laws and brought back a human to our world, then you fell in love with her. You may either be banished to earth as a human, as a fallen Angel, or you may give up your job, and the girl, and stay as a normal Angel. Choose wisely."

No... A tear strolls down my cheek. I feel a hand on my shoulder, so I turn my head towards the person. I see Death and Annalise standing there with tears in their eyes. I give them a small smile.

They're good for each other. I think to myself.

"If I loose my wings... If I go to earth... Will Calla come with me?"

"That all depends on Death. He controls it for now." For now. Death glares at Julian and flinches. He pulls Annalise tighter to him and she closes her eyes.

"Jennali-"

"Stop. No need for all that, it's just Jen."

"Very well then. Jen and Greg, step forward."

They step up next to my troubled Evander.

"You all will deprived of your wings. You cannot be trusted as Angels now, so you will not be Angels. You have the choice to be stripped of everything and go with a new set of memories as a happy human couple. You can have kids, and a happy life. Or you can go and start an unfamiliar life with all of your memories as you try to learn how to make due."

What!?

I hear them whispering to each other for a minute.

Then I hear a mind link to me. I didn't even know I could get these.

You guys... I think we have to go with our memories. I don't know how, because we were always so careful... But... I'm pregnant. And even if they strip is of our powers, the baby will still have them. I can't let them kill the baby. Jen says.

There are stunned looks, then poker faces, then agreements and even more silent tears.

You'll be an amazing mom. Evander tells her.

Thanks, big brother. I love you so much. Calla, I love you. You're the sister I never had, and we will find you guys down on earth.

I love you too. I try and say, but I can't mind link. I think it's just something Jen can do. She was born with the power to spread thoughts to people, but I wasn't.

"Annalise and Death. Step forward."

Oh shit.

"You have defied your general, went against all of our laws, denied my hand in marriage-"

"What!?" I shout. "You're seriously gonna try and spout off some bullshit now!? She didn't want you, boo hoo!!! It's not fucking illegal to 'deny your hand in marriage' I mean- honestly!!! You'll fucking live!!" Everyone's eyes go wide.

"I asked for her hand in marriage three hundred years ago. It hasn't been long enough to not feel rejected." He spits at me. I roll my eyes.

"Three hundred years ago, my great-great-great-great-grandmother was nothing but a sperm cell."

He glares at me. "As I was saying!" I glare back. "You have three choices. Be stripped of your wings and your memories, be stripped of your wings, or marry me and keep them." She snorts. "Death. Multi are to be stripped of your wings and your memories. You are not to be trusted at all." He says simply.

"Shut up. I know the next in line for Death. He is my nephew. He will do amazing, and he will kill off the whole council if you try to mess with any of us again. I've already informed him, so I would watch your tongue. I would rather make my own choice when I feel like it. So, carry on."

"You don't get to m-" he is cut off when Death starts to drag his soul from his body.

Death releases his soul. "You were saying?"

"Calla, step forward." join my hand with Evander's as I step up.

"You aren't quite guilty of anything, but you can see us on earth when no other should. Hilnashi wanted you dead, but it is much easier to merely shield you. Either that or death. Now, your choice is to return to your old life on earth, or to go there as a new person. You'd have an amazing life."

"Would Evander be there?"

"If he chooses so... But... Well, darling... You wouldn't remember him."
