Our Final Stand (Part 1)

Chapter 35: Our Final Stand (Part 1)
-Rishardo's POV-

Everyone gathered around me as if I were their leader. But... how could I be? I was a monster, am a monster. They expect me to lead them, the way Sapphire did. Well then, they really are lost if they're heading to me for help. But I can't give up, for her sake... for Sapphire.

"Everyone! Man your stations! Get ready, from this moment on... we're heading to war!" I screamed out to the awaiting crowd. Everyone looked ready, they didn't even hesitate when I yelled the commands. They listened, like I was their leader. I knew I couldn't be as good as her, but for now I would try. I miss her already, but I won't let her have died on vain. That isn't even a thought in my mind. I'm going to fight with all my heart, and hopefully if I die then I can be with her for the rest of our after life lives.

 
-Sapphire's POV-

Once I was done talking to Kili, I was called to the one place I had been looking forward to, my final resting place. The place where I'd get to be with Joseph and stay with him for the rest of my after life life and be able to be with everyone that dies for the little time before their regeneration kicked in. It would be a dream come true for me because I would no longer have the pressure and control of so much and I could finally just be a normal person instead of the leader of the I.G.B. in which I have to protect everyone and everything I care for because it's all in danger. No, like this I could keep a close eye on everyone I care about without having to be worried that I'm the reason that they're getting hurt. I flew high uo into the sky, and before flying into space, I was teleported to a place in the sky that no one could see, the final resting place of everyone who deserves to be here and has died. The white doors appeared in front of me, yearning for me to open them. I gently placed my hand on the doors and as I did so I felt something gradually come out of my back. It was a little painful, and it felt like bone coming from my back creating something new. I looked back and gasped in awe at the beautiful angel wings that had so neatly appeared on my back. They were perfectly curved over the top and were ridged at the bottom because of the feathers that were so gracefully flowing in the wind that covered all of the wings. Although I could fly on my own, I felt like the wings meant more than just flying, they meant freedom, they meant peace. With new courage I pushed the doors open and walked into the paradise of my final resting place.

-Rishardo's POV-

I walked towards the medical wing to go check up on the child that I had saved from the Bad hospital. One question kept bugging me though, what would they want with a child? What importance was he to them? I walked into the room where he was being kept and saw Bones looking intently at the child as it slept soundly in its bed.

"Bones? Is the child ok?" I asked. He looked up for a second that looked back down at the child. He was silent for quite some time.

"Did you get a close look at this child when you saved him?" He asked after his extremely long pause. I thought back and realized that I hadn't. All I had really looked at was his chocolate brown hair before I jumped out the window. But what did it matter? This child is no more than 3 years old. Why would I care what he looks like?

"No. It never crossed my mind to look at the child since I was running to save both of our lives," I said. Bones just kept looking at the child, like something was wrong with him.

"Come take a look at this child please," Bones said, calling me closer. I walked over to where the child's bed was and Bones moved out of the way so that I could look at the child. He had chocolate brown hair, like I said before, and a face structure that seemed all too familiar. Yet, I couldn't place it completely. The child squirmed around, yawned, and opened his eyes. I stumbled backwards and fell over a chair, but continued to slowly sink backwards. It can't be. It can't be!

"How... no! This isn't possible! Bones! Tell me it's not possible!" I screamed. I got up and took a run for it. I should've let this child die, I should've sent him back to where he belongs. This child shouldn't be alive. It's not possible! I ran out of the headquarters and into the open field behind it. I ran and ran, not looking back. Finally, I fell to my knees and screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! NO! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TORTURE ME?! HAVEN'T I SUFFERED ENOUGH?! WHY DO I NEED THIS CHILD TO REMIND ME OF WHAT I CAN'T HAVE?! AND IT'S ALL HIS FAULT! WHY?!... why?" I whimpered at the thought of what was happening somewhere else. "She's alone now, all alone. Why did he leave her all alone? There is no one there for her now so what is she going to do all alone up there? Why... why did he have to leave her? I should've cursed him when I had the chance! But then, she would've never forgiven me..." I sighed, letting my hands fall against my sides and I was just sitting there, on my knees, running from the one person that had stolen away my happiness in mind and waiting back at the headquarters. How is this even possible? It shouldn't be... it isn't.

-Sapphire's POV-

I walked through the dorrs, and the one presence I wanted to feel... wasn't there... Joseph wasn't there. His soul was somehow not here, and now... I was alone. Slowly, I fell to my jnees, weeping. None of the other angels seemed to be affected by my sudden outburst. I guess this had happened enough times that they were no longer affected and knew enough to leave me alone, and let me get a grip on what was really going on. Suddenly, therewas a hand on my shoulder and I couldn't help but start at the sight of who it was. It was my "mother" who had been killed by T.M.  She looked at me, and I couldn't help but feel guilty at the sight of her, so I looked away. How could I bare to see the women who raised me, dead in front of me and she had lied to me all my life? She infuriated me and made me feel so guilty to. I couldn't understand why. I had loved her, and then hated her, then pitied her. But what do I feel about her now?

"I'm sorry," I whispered. The tears still coming down like small sapphires from my eyes. She picked one up and held it in front of me. It wasn't like a sapphire, it was a sapphire!

"No, I'm sorry. I kept you from your destiny for so long and lied to you so you would stay mine, but I hurt you more than I would've had I told you. Maybe things could've been different then, and I could've apologized to you under better circumstances than this," she said to me, then looked back at the sapphire. "This is who you are, Sapphire. I had never realized before how much you mean to everything, and how true you are to your destiny. This represents you, treasure who you are and remember who you're not, that will always be your greatest ability."

She walked away from me, and I hadn't realized, but all of the angels had gathered around to look at me.

-Third Person POV-

They stared in awe at the little girl that was shriveled up on the ground surrounded by sapphire tears. She looked up at all of them, and her eyes shimmered a majestic blue color that they hadn't seen for many years. And they knew, she was the one that had been waiting for for years and years on end. What they and she didn't know, was that she had attracted the eye of a young male angel, trapped in heaven for eternity, only to be given life by his one true love, and who knew what awaited her in such the heart of this young man, and who knew what awaited him in the heart of such a girl.
