The Aries

the angel and the madman

some time after that guess what, i was called into work for something as puny as children getting kidnapped off the streets and paranoid neighbors. so now i was heading outside with leon, kyle, and Lucifer. i climbed on the motorcycle "how are we getting there if your riding that?' leon asked. "figure it out, Lucifer you can fly, kyle just ride on the back of the motor cycle and elaon just shapshift into a bird" i said rolling my eyes slightly.

i put the helmet on and rode off. "zoe are you ok?" kyle asked concernedly, "you have scratches on your shoulders, they're bleeding so it didn't happen to long ago we have to stop i think one of them is infected" kyle said, his normal jumpy attitude always drops when somethings wrong. "kyle im fine earlier i fell off this thing" i said. "and why is your hair wet?" he asked next. i forgot how smart kyle could be, i would've bee more careful had i remembered. "and you smell like... salt water?" damn i dindt get the smell off of me yet. kyle then threw how arm out to the left a wall shot up from the ground. "kyle!" i shouted and fell off the bike sliding on the ground painfully.

the wall had curved into a box type thing around us. "im sorry you wouldn't listen to me" kyle said brushing himself off "and i know you wont talk to leon or Lucifer. why where you crossing the bridge?" he asked and strided to me. "i needed more info on Michel so i figured the only people who would know that would be the two rival gangs, Pandora and titan. when i was crossing the bridge, my bike slid and i slid off of the bridge." i said. i hate lying to him even if its only a little.

"you could've asked us to go with you" kyle said moving closer, and sitting in front of me."no. i had to go alone" i said and brought my knee to chest. "use your power to heal yourself, no ones around" kyle said calmly. kyle was the only one who knew that i was an angel, he caught me a few months ago and agreed not to tell Lucifer or leon. him and the commander are the only two who actually know, also Michel did... but kyle was his replacement.

i nodded and stood up, i stripped of everything on my top half except the sports bra. "you have a pretty nice body" kyle inspected, i didn't care hes seen the back of me naked before. "thanks ky" i said and closed my eyes. i felt that rush of energy as air circle around me and i felt the wings open and the skin etched together into scars. i opened my eyes and looked down at myself, my hand was shaking, until kyle took it in his the shaking stopped instantly. "don't be scared" kyle said and next thing i knew my whole body stopped shaking. he hugged me.

i relaxed and the wings disappeared forming the black angel tattoo i knew was on my back. kyle soon let go of me and said "we should go" i nodded in agreement and put my clothing on again. i walked to my motorcycle and picked it up. nothing looked broken the side was just scratched up. i got on and put the helmet on as the walls disappeared, leon and Lucifer stood there. leon was a raven peerched on lucifers shoulder. while Lucifer had the big black wings expanded.

"what happened?" he asked curiously. "oh um i had to heal zoe after she crashed the motorcycle, and she had to strip so..." kyle lied looking at me i smiled gratefully. im keeping a lot from my friends aren't i... "well we should go" i said and revved the engine. we where off again me and kyle barely talked the whole ride to the street. once we reached the corner i parked the bike and climbed off. i hid it behind a tree and walked down the street taking in the row houses lining the street. "ill go talk to the neighbors" Lucifer purred seeing a young lday skipping down her steps.

i grabbed him "hell no, go talk to the old man next door, kyle your good with girls go talk somethin outta her" i said. Lucifer rolled his eyes and kyle grinned heading to the girl, i walked down the streets abd dropped down  in front of a manhole cover "yo man-whore over here now" i yelled at Lucifer. he dropped down in front of me "what, your starring at the manhole cover as if it was a god" he said. "does this look like real metal to you?" i asked and touched it. "yeah, why?"

"what looks like metal, is heavy, yet light enough to be moved quickly and is easy to get?" i asked. "rock?" i shook my head "concrete, concrete isn't light for a human but for something else like a lost spirit, its light as a feather" i said. Lucifer looked at it "it could have a coating of paint over it to get the metal look" he pointed out. i nodded in agreement "im goona lift it" he did as he said and threw the manhole cover to the ground it slid with a loud sound. "concrete" he said whipping his hands on his tshirt. "well, shall we?" i asked and positioned myself so my legs where threw the hole.

"you want me to go in a place as filthy as that!" he asked exasperated. "yeah im doin it" i said and pushed myself. "yeah well you don't care how you look, obviously" he said crossing his arms. "so your ok when killing a spirit but..." i dug my face into my hand. "fine man-whore, let the defenseless little girl go alone" i said. "defenseless" he scoffed as i dropped down into the hole. i landed in  manure and sewage. i nearly through up but swallowed it i walked so Lucifer could no longer see me and used light energy. light bounced off the walls. i walked looking around, a few more feat down  i saw a makeshift later, it was made of twigs, metal tubes, and twine.

i looked up the later there was a wooden trapdoor. i grabbed the metal tubes and pulled myself up until i reached the trapdoor. i pushed the door up until i felt it fall to the side. i climbed the later the rest of the way up and climbed into the room. it was a basement, i bit the side of my mouth and grabbed the metal string connected to a light bulb. it flickered on and all around the room where children. in cages, on tables, in chairs. they all had one thing in common, a blank stare. i covered my mouth to muffle the gasp. there was about 100 of them in this room only. i pursed my lips together, so this is where the kids where taken. i took a tentative step towards one of the dolls, a brown hair girl with ribbons in her hair and a silky pink dress, she looked like a doll, and not the usual ones,  an actual doll.

"hello i did not expect such a pretty angel to just waltz right into my grasp like this you'll make such a beautiful doll" a man said. my eyes flew behind me a guy stood there he had a beard and crazy blue eyes. he held a surgical instrument in his hand, i took a step back "what idd you do to them? and are you connected to Michel ores?" i asked lowly hair falling in my eyes. "an angel? wow i thought they all went extinct" he said.

"why does everyone figure that out so easily" i bursted at him and grabbed his throat "i would unhand me" he said calmly. i felt a burning sensation at my hand and screamed falling back. my hand had a burn across it. "now cooperate, this should be quick and easy" he said and injected me with something. my body fell back on the ground and my eyes zeroed in on the ceiling.

they fell closed. i felt a cool breeze hit my face and opened my eyes, i was on a hill, it was grassy and peaceful. "big sissy!" a little girl with long golden hair was running towards me, she had a pik sun dress on with ruffles. she held a basket with a flowers inside. "Maggie..." i whispered as she jumped on top of me laughing. i looked at her my mouth was agape. i recognized the place , we where in England. i hugged Maggie she smelled like lavender. "hey mags" i said smiling, am i in heaven? "can we play tag?" she asked next. "your it!" i said and started to run from her. "hey not fair you got a headstart!" Maggie was storming after me.

"ahhhh" i was tackled from behind with maggies battle cry. "i win" she said, i started tickling her mercilessly laughing hard as she tried to tickle me. "s...stop it" she said between laughter. "p-please" after i finally let her go free i sat against the oak tree next to Maggie. "mommy said we're moving soon" mags said frowning. "i know" i said my eyes fell closed, "im tired big sis" i felt maggies head land on my shoulder. after a few minutes we we're both sound asleep against the tree
