I stared wide-eyed at the girl. Her cruel eyes were sparkling. She looked at me and grinned evily.
"Oh hi there Deliah! How have you been? The human thing been going good for you?" She asked me.
"Um... Sure..." I said, confused.
"Oh by the way, my name is Alanze. And I'll let you in on a secret." She looked around searchingly, and said so low that I almost couldnt hear her- "I'm here to kill you!"
She giggled, and I stared at her. This chick was insane.
Caelin pulled me behind him and faced Alanze. "No, you wont." He turned his head and said, "Deliah, please run."
I panicked. My mind wasnt clear. I'm a wuss. Those are the only reasons I can think of why I ran. Zara grabbed me and we hid. I wanted so badly to go out and fight with Caelin, but it was too late. Zara held me back as I listened in agony to the fight.
**Caelin**
Alanze began to run after Deliah, but I ran at her and knoched her down. She threw me off of her, a manic smile on her face.
"You just dont get it, Caelin," she said. "I always win."
I snarled and ran at her. She moved just slightly and I fell to the ground. Sh ebegan to make her way to where Deliah and Zara were hiding.
"No," I gasped. I got up and staggered towards her. She rolled her eyes and began to wove quicker. I spread my wings, launching into the air. I kicked her from behind and she fell.
I stood over her for mere seconds when she pinned me to the ground. She sneered down at me and spat in my face.
As she got up she stomped on my wing. I heard the crack and cried out in agony as it shattered in a painful break.
She kneeled over me again, but now she had a knife.
I blacked out as the knife cut into my throat.
**Deliah**
I peered around the corner, getting ready to join the fight when I heard Caelin cry out in pain, followed by a loud snap. Something was broken. But now he was silent, but I could hear Alanze's insane laughter. l looked around the corner...
The sight I saw was from my worst nightmare.
Caelin was unconsious, and blood ran from his neck.
Alanze looked up at me and grinned, pressing the knife harder to his throat.
I'm still not sure what happened then. Maybe it was the knowlage that my love was probably dead. Maybe it was panick. But something inside me snapped.
I remembered.
Memories came flooding back to me as my wings spread out behind me. Their wieght was familiar and welcome. I remembered everything now. Who I was, and my mind was clearer than ever before. The pain and rage I felt then came through first, and I rushed at Alanze with my snowy-white wings spread out behind me.
**Caelin**
My eyes flittered open to meet Zara's green ones. She sighed in relife and held my head in her lap. I ached everywhere, especialy in my wing and neck. I coughed, and blood sputtered everywhere.
I was going to die. That much was clear to me.
I looked out, and the most beautiful thing in the world was what I saw.
Deliah had her wings.
They were huge, and bright silvery-white. They were like the wings of a dove, so soft and delicate. At the moment, they were being used as wepons to beat Alanze to a bloody pulp.
