The Dark Hour

--------Astrid--------

I was walking around town when I was pulled into an ally. I looked up and it was Vincent. What the hell? I pulled his hand away from my mouth but he just placed it back. I tried to talk but everything was just mumbling.

"Shh Princess unless you want to die you will be quiet." My eyes widened. What did he just say?

"What the hell?" I said angrily pulling his hand away.

"We saw William so I started to follow you. He was right around the corner so just shut up and stay behind me." He said looking out and sighed. "Just be careful." Then he left. I sighed and started to walk again. I groaned. Maybe all of this is my fault there's nothing I can do to fix it. If I didn't show up William wouldn't be in this world I would probably be married to him specially if he still tried to take over my kingdom. But I don't think this world would be in jeopardy. Lalna probably wouldn't know that he was an angel.

"I didn't expect to see you here princess." I stopped and slowly turned and saw that it was Dean. He was William's head guard, like how Vincent was mine. This isn't going to be good. I looked around and I didn't see Vincent anywhere near me. I can't really do anything out in public. "Looking for someone?" My head snapped back to Dean.

"N-No, I uh.." He just laughed. Then grabbed my wrist, I pulled my arm away from him then punched him.

"What the fuck you bitch!" He yelled. I backed up and started to run. I ran into something and looked up and it was Vincent. I sighed.

"Thank god you're here. D-Dean is here." I said out of breath.

"I'll deal with him Princess you go straight home." I nodded and started to head for Axel's place. I looked at my wrist and it was a bright red color. I finally got home and walked inside. Then I was tackled to the ground. I yelped and looked down and saw blond hair.

"Lalna?" I asked.

"Sorry, I just... I might have tried to do something stupid and it didn't work and then Skyla talked to me and I wanted to talk to you," He said quickly.

"What did you do?" I asked sitting up.

"Um Seto offered to take the seal off and I let him try. It didn't work."

"Lalna only a higher up angel can take off that seal like you're dad not another kid. Why in the world would you want it off in the first place?"

"To see my wings, just as proof I guess. I just wanted to prove something to myself."

"You don't need proof do you want me to call Michael and have him prove it to you?" He shook his head.

"I think he's busy with the war and things."

"He can make time here let's see." I made the calling orb and it made a really weird buzzing noise. Soon Michael picked up. "Sorry if I'm bothering you."

"I just got out of a meeting what do you need?"

"Well someone has questions for you."

"Who does?" He asked.

"Your son." Lalna looked at the orb curiously.

"Can he hear me?"

"Yes I can hear you," Michael chuckled. Lalna jumped.

"Oh um, hi."

"Here take the orb." I said handing it to him.

"How do I hold it?"

"Just in your hands like I am."

"Ok, like this?"

"Just like that."
