In Your Arms.

Chapter 6

(The person in the picture is Dante.)
Arinesa POV:
Piercing my ears the screams alerted me that there was something right here. Instinctively I pushed Amelia behind me as an effort to make sure that no one from the opposing side realised that was here.

Suddenly a large amount of light scattered among the room, laying a blanket of silence over the screaming. Allowing eyes to search he room for potential threats I noticed the lights source was an angel. An angel was murdered here. A brother of arms was dead.

Pulling out my angel blade from my purse I could hear Amelia whisper something about the people that killed her family being here. Now was not the opportune moment. Now was not the time to strike, now was the time to get her out of here. Turning around to her my voice was gentle.

"Amelia.. Amy" her face softened as I called her name. "You need to stay here and stay quiet." Noticing the fear cross her face.

"That's the last thing my mother said to me... Stay quiet" hearing her voice break like that made my heart ache. She didn't ask for this. She didn't ask for any of this.

Cupping her face I looked into her eyes.

"I promise I will be back for you. On my honour as an angel I will." Before she could say anything else I was gone.

Running towards the group of angels, I realised that the light was a show. No angel died. Swallowing my fear. This was a trap for me. Looking towards Adrian I gave him a nod; silently, I told him to take dante and Amelia out of here. Looking away once she disappeared, I was circled trapped.

"Didn't they ever teach you not to corner an angel"

My voice cold. Advancing on me, the first three angel drew their weapon and attacked. Dodging the first swipe I jabbed the first angel in the chest and used his body to throw onto another angels blade as they were advancing on me. Light flared up from the Angels body, a blade from another angel nipped my arm sending seeding pain through my body. Turning around I punched the man in the face, make angels advancing. There's no way I can take them all. The little voice in my head whispered.

Killing the angel that nipped me I spun and stopped another from stabbing me in the back. Looking around as I fought I tried looking for any opening in the circle. Unfortunately, there appears to be none.

Blood leaked from the corner of my mouth, my dress was torn.
"You know, I really liked this dress" spinning the blade round in my hand to show I was ready to die fighting. "So if I go down. I'm taking as many with you as I can."

Watching more Angels than before advance its like I was stuck in a dance of death.

"Enough!" A deep voice echoed through the now practically employ hall. The small amount of Angels that were left, I had taken most of them down. They're wings shadowed along the ground.

"I underestimated your fighting abilities Arinesa."

Watching the voice become a face and emerge from the corners of the room I didn't let my face deceive me and kept it neutral and unimpressed.

"Never underestimate me, that will be your fatal mistake." Glaring at him, my breathing deep and shallow.

Amelia POV:
Light shone from a specific point, I could guess what happened but I still wanted to scream. I wanted Arinesa to take me away from here, hold me, tell me it was okay. Unfortunately, she decided to send me away instead. Now here I was in my hotel room with dante and Adrian, not that I don't like them. They seem nice. You know from the small bit I've actually spoke to them.

"Are you holding up okay?" A soft, yet harsh voice pierced my thought.

Looking up I met dante's eyes. Yes I am well aware that my eyes are filled with tears. Having no idea what's going on, I push these thoughts to the back of my mind.

"Where's Arinesa? Is she going to be okay?"

Deducing that dante really did have no idea Adrian took over, his hand rests on dantes shoulder. I could see the love Adrian held for him. I wander how they met...

"Arinesa, I guess is still in the hall. If there's any angel who can fight their way through a crowd it's her."

As Adrian stopped talking I couldn't help but think that she wasn't getting through a crowd, she was killing them. No matter how much I hate them I'm not comfortable and never have been, with the idea of killing someone. It's barbaric.

Trying to change the subject I stared at Adrian and Dante. "So, how did you two meet?"

Along Adrian's face a faint smile played on his lips. "Well Dante was a hunter, meaning he usually kills anything supernatural. But, we worked together and then, well you can guess the rest."

"Cheeky bum sex?" I questioned, my face deadpan. Noticing Dante go bright red i reassured him as I laughed "I was joking, trying to lighten the mood"

Hours passed by and we all got on with our own things. The panic in me rising by the second at the thought that sounding could happen to Arinesa, not that I'd let the others know. Being patient was never one of my strong points, my mum knew that so. She used to always tease me and make me wait for things. I can't loose Arinesa too... Why a. I thinking that, adrian knows her better than me, who barely knows her...

As if reading my mind adrian turns to me, his voice gentle "I've known Arinesa for thousands of years, and no I don't. No one knows her like you do."

For some reason that made me smile and for warmth to collect on my core. I know her. I know her better than anyone. I can't explain how that makes me feels.

The sound of someone collapsing ran through the room. Running towards the noise my hands covered my mouth and tears filled my eyes. It was Arinesa. She was deathly pale, her beautiful  lip bruised, her cheek cut with blood dried to her face. Blood all over her dress. Bending down beside her I prayed for help from adrian, he soon picked her up and laid her in her bed.

"What's happened to her? Is she going to be okay? Will she heal?--"

Before I could ask anything else adrian cut me off. "She will heal, she'll just need time to  regain her strength. But she's alive Amy. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
