Angels v/s Demon

Fighting with stranger

Bam

The boy in front of me had his gun aimed on me. I knew there was no escape from death now. He had a gun that had long range firing and some different kind of bullets having electric covering. These bullets seemed to be powerful. I closed my eyes welcoming the bullet. I had no chance. I saw him pressing the trigger and waited for bullet to hit me. Few seconds had passed but it seemed like hours, I heard a sound of bullet leaving the gun and at the same time I felt something warm blanket surrounding me. I opened my eyes thinking that I was dead but I was not. A huge white bird had wrapped his feathers around me. A bullet had hit that huge bird that was almost of my size. It was bleeding. Its beautiful white feathers were now drenched in its own blood.

At first I flinched at the site of the huge bird even though this bird was my savior. At this instant I realized that this world was not something that it seemed to be. There were more and more strange things out. It was changing its origin as each seconds passed. Another bullet that was fired on me, hit the bird.  Tears were flowing through my eyes. A bird that saved me was in pool of its own blood. Then I remembered that I could heal it. The boy in front of us was continuously firing but before the third bullet hit the bird, a cocoon was formed around us. It was like a cotton protection and dodged the bullets that were coming towards us. The bird was bleeding heavily and lost its balance. I held it in my arms. I was shaking and frightened but calmed myself down because I knew that I had two major things to do. One to save the bird from death and second is the enemy who was crazily firing and would kill us if not stopped.

It was dark and I really had no idea about the things to be done. I pulled to see how the huge bird that saved me, looks like and I was shocked to see that it had figure like human. I could not make it out properly as it was too dark and things were barely visible in faint moon light and slight green light. I was bit more frightened at the site lying in front of me. It was a human but not a complete human. The strange creature in front of me was almost human with wings. I know, I had no reason to worry of this creature but the things that were happened these couples of days were enough for me to panic. We were surrounded by cocoon but the glow of cocoon was reducing as each bullet hit it. My eyes averted to the creature that was lying in front of me. Its face was covered with its own hair and feathers were red. Its glow was reduced. I bend down and gently removed the strands of hair from creatures face revealing it.

As I saw the face of the creature, my eyes grew wide; I flinched and took back few steps. The bloody critical creature who saved me was none other than my best friend. She saved me and was now dying. Even though I wanted to kill her, I did not want her to die. They were not lying when they told me that they were my protectors. I was preoccupied in deciphering things by my own and neither I was ready to hear them. This all was my fault. If I had not ran into woods .Aimlessly, Swathi would not have followed me and got shot. A sudden remorse and regret made my heart heavy. I checked Swathi but she was bleeding heavily. She was unconscious and her heart beat was dropping.

"Swathi, please get up." I cried out in unbearable pain but there was no movement. I saw that the boy was still firing but now cocoon was not dodging bullets but absorbing them in it. Its layer had became thin and now on verge of vanishing.

I knew that the Layer will be soon depleted and we will be without any protection and no one could save us. I started wondering where the other protectors were. Was the boy alone or he was in group of people who wanted to kill us? I was getting confused as time passed.

Suddenly I saw boy pulling out machine gun and fired it on cocoon the thin layer of cocoon started cracking. I took no time and leaped over Swathi wishing I could heal her, I move my hands on her wounds but unfortunately it was not healing. Swathi’s breathing was shallow and her heart was beating slowly. Tears started beaming through my eyes.
