Elyza

Eleven.

Noah's POV

Her brow dripped with sweat mixed in with the bitter scent of metal. She shook on her hands and feet struggling to keep herself up, The more Ronah clenched her hands the more the slits on Eli's cheeks began ripping open, tearing her skin, causing a thin streak of Crimson to trickle down her face and drip onto a pool on the floor.

"Stop" I heard her mumbled. She was so close to giving up, Ronah was by far the worst test they'd done on her, the rest of the elders carried out simple tests, her reaction time, her strength, her speed but this...this was the worst.

Ronah chuckled. The bastard "I'm not done yet my love, I need to know how strong the chosen one is. Right now you're not fighting back"

Elyza pursed her lips, biting them until she broke skin. Her body trembled as she conjured up a pulse of energy from the floor causing the entire room to shiver. Cupboard shook, books toppled over, it was like a mini earth quake "I am fighting back!"

The pulse of energy circulated her body, shooting out of her hands in a powerful wave form directed to Ronah. Her eyes grew wide as she dodged the attack effortlessly "What a pity. You weak mundane. With a father as the highest ranking Angel and a mother who can destroy the universe with a click of her fingers; you disappoint me. You are pathetic"

My hands balled into fists. Anger bubbled inside of me as I restrained myself from breaking her neck. "Well child" she continued "Might as well finish you"

Clenching her left hand causing a moan to escape Elyza's lips. She raised her right hand, speaking words that could not be understood. A fire ball emerged from her hands, hovering above her fingers. She chuckled "Fly little angel. Don't let the fire burn your beautiful wings"

She threw the fire.

On reflex Elyza's wings sprung into action, throwing her high into the air to try and dodge the fire. But it was too late, she was too weak to fly and the fire hit her left wing. She screamed, loud enough that the cross breeds in the left wing would have heard her cry, I've haven't felt this much pain in a long time; it angered me. It pissed me off, her pain became my pain, her fear became my fear.

Her wing was burnt, black and chard. I don't know if her wings with heal themselves or if they are permanently destroyed forever.

"That's enough" I found myself and Coven say at the same time.

Coven's face was twisted into bitter scowl directed at Ronah "How dare you. Who gave you the audacity to do such a thing to a new cross breed are you mad?"

Ronah rolled her eyes "This is how I conduct tests. That is why you put me on the council is it not? In my opinion she is pathetic"

"Shut the fuck up" I spat. My words frozen in the air between us. The council who was even more angry at Ronah than me didn't even care I spoke such language in front of them. They merely nodded in agreement "You lay a finger on her again and I will kill you"

I stared into her eyes, penetrated her soul and caused fear to arise to the surface of her body. She gulped. She knew what I was, she knew what I could do and she knew better not to make me angry. Sighing I wondered towards Elyza, my boots clicking along the floor and her body flinching as I drew nearer and nearer. She didn't know it was me, she thought it was Ronah and that made her terrified.

"Don't hurt me anymore" she mumbled through the tears.

"I won't hurt you" I whispered, I brushed the hairs from her face and slid my arms around her body. She was weightless, mostly because half of her wing had been destroyed, giving Ronah one last glare I took Elya out the door. As I walked down the corridor, I felt the vast amount of heat radiating off her, I felt how slow and shallow her breathing was and I even felt how faint her heartbeat was compared to mine which was through the roof.

Finally we reached her room, I kicked the door open angrily and shook as I placed her on bed. I wondered over and took a blanket that sat on top of her vanity chair, but when I glanced in the mirror I saw my eyes turning a gory shade of black, black veins circled my under eyes as I blinked them away.

I didn't want to become like my father.

"My wings" I heard a soft moan.

I turned around as quickly as I could and tried to keep her from heaving herself out of bed "You need to rest"

She croaked "My wings, I can't fly"

She gripped my hand tightly, tears emerged in her eyes and the colour in her skin turned pale, she was too pale. "I can't feel them. I can't feel my wings"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way to heal them, we'll find a way to heal you"

I hoped she wouldn't say the thing I thought she would say but she did "I want to go home"

"Please don't leave" I found myself begging, I found myself pleading for her to stay. For some reason I wanted to keep her safe, If she was here I could watch her and make sure she was okay. I could make sure no one can hurt her, not even Ronah.

She smiled faintly "You said you were taking me out for lunch after and then I can go home"

I breathed a laugh "I doubt I can take you for lunch"

"No" she grinned wider than before "You can still take me out for lunch, I'm starting to heal see" she pointed to her cheek which began sucking the blood back in.

Those scars will be with her forever.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded "I want to get out of here"

"I'll make it happen"
