Safe House ➳ Sidemen

Forgiven (Mostly)

Anael

"You what!"

"She got away sir, I couldn't do anything to stop it" I explain. Mitchell looks up at me with cold eyes, disappointment and anger etched onto his face.

"Well then you didn't try hard enough! The one thing I ask is that you keep her under control and now she's gone! You're lucky I don't kill you right now!"

"Sir, I'm sorry"

He walked forward and grabbed me by the hair, an angel blade falling out of his sleeve, "Jerome was right, I should've kill you right after you killed Harry, you're no use to me now"

He went to stab the blade in me, but I teleported to the other side of the room. It was now when I realized how evil he really was. I was playing for the wrong side. I looked to the side of me, Harry's soul laid in a jar on the shelf. I quickly grabbed it and teleported it away, warding myself and it from any Angels. I knew what I needed to do.

"Okay, so I know we aren't the greatest team in the world right now" I start, "But I think we need to work together for this one thing"

"And that thing is?" Lucy asks, clearly annoyed.

"Mitchell holds a threat to the entirety of the human race. What we need to do is stop him. I don't know how yet, but we do. Harry is dead and the closest thing we're going to get to closure is killing the man who killed him"

Chris scoffed, "Mitchell didn't kill anyone. If we're killing anyone it should be Allie"

I clenched my fists together, wanting to go off in a yelling spree, but I couldn't do it, that would definitely not help.

"Kill me, see if I care. You know, I talked to Harry, you know what he said to me? That he forgave me, that he knew it wasn't me. Do you really think he would want you to kill me" Allie said, raising her voice. That shut Chris, and everyone else up. "Thank you"

"When did you talk to him?" Vikk spoke up, challenging Allie.

"The angel used his soul, she thought that he would chew me out, but he didn't"

"I'm sorry I brought this up" I step in, "Listen. We need to kill Mitchell, rather it's because of Harry or to save the world I don't care. What we don't need is more fighting about what happened in the past. Harry wouldn't want this"

Everyone stayed quiet,
It was true, then Josh spoke up. "Okay. So when are we leaving"

"We need to figure out how to kill him first. I heard something when I was possessed, a normal angel blade won't kill him. He's too powerful"

"Then what will?"

"A human soul" a voice said. We all turned to the right. A woman stood there, holding a glass jar with a bright light in it.

"Who the hell-"

The girl stepped in, "I'm Anael"

Three people got up and went to tackle her to the ground, those being Allie, Chris and Vikk. However she just teleported to the other side of the room and the three fell on the floor.

"I'm not here to fight. I'm here to help"

Chris went to go at her again but Allie held him back, walking forward calmly. "Spit it out then"

"Listen. To kill Mitchell you need to use a human soul, which I have here. Exploding it will kill anyone in a thirty metre radius, that includes Mitchell. One person needs to sacrifice themselves to do it, but it's the only way you'll get your revenge, and save everyone" the angel says. Allie walks forward, grabbing the jar out of her hands and putting it on the coffee table.

"Why are you helping us?"

"I... Just realized I was on the wrong side. I'm sorry for everything I've done" she says. She looks over at Allie before an angel blade drops out of her sleeve. Allie backed up, expecting Anael to stab her. But she just held it up, "Take it, kill me, I deserve it. Plus you'll get your revenge"

Allie takes the blade and Anael looks down, giving a single nod. Allie looks around the room and everyone nods to say she should do it. Allie sinks it into her chest slowly, bright light comes out and the angel falls to the ground, dead. Allie doesn't bother with taking the blade out. She just leaves the room.

I knock on the door, "Allie? You alright?"

A noise comes from inside, "Yeah! I'm perfect" it was full of sarcasm. I opened the door, Allie was laying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

"Vikk and Chris are satisfied with the death, and now everyone is sort of getting back together" I explain.

"Well good for them, everyone's just la dee da now"

"Are you alright?" I ask, closing the door and walking over to the bed,
sitting on the edge.

She looks up at me and I can tell she isn't, she doesn't even say anything. I lay down beside her and pull her into a hug. She sighs, "I... I'm not alright. I know it wasn't me, but, I did kill Harry. I also killed Cal, and... Gabriel"

I could tell the last one stung, she physically winced when she said the name.

"None of them are your fault. Harry's blood is on my hands! I'm completely responsible" I say, trying to make her feel even a bit better.

"When I close my eyes all I can see are my hands killing Harry! Okay! You can say pretty much anything and I'm still not going to believe it! So don't tell me that it's your fault!" The sudden burst of anger startled me. But I didn't argue, cause she was right.

"You've just got to look past it" I say. She nods.

"Yeah. I do. Harry forgave me. So I should forgive myself"

Small chapter but I really didn't know what to right.
