Living with wings.

Chapter 7 Glenn's Perspective

Deklan and I walk out of the staff room of my shop and walk out of the store leaving a blood covered Ella to sit for a few minutes. " What are we going to do?" Deklan asks abruptly after stopping. 

I turn and meet the harsh gaze of my brother. " We have to destroy the blade, the less that are on earth the better."

Deklan chuckles a little bit at my response. " And what about angel? Shes gonna wonder where the demon blade went, and we both know shes gonna wanna know more about it.'"  He's right, and I know Ella is gonna have a lot of questions, but this is for the better.

" She'll understand once we explain it." Deklan smirks as a response and we make our way back into the store and to the back room.

We step through the door and the room is empty. " Where did angel disapear to?" Deklan grumbles loudly. 

He walks over to the table, grabs the dagger and holds it up. " Whatever, you go find the girl and i'll go get rid of this." He swings the dagger around before walking out.

I walk out of the the staff room and out onto the floor, i ask a couple of my employees if they seen her but nobody has. I walk behind the counter and ask the clerk Kyle, " Yeah, she walked out a couple minutes after you. " I thank him and start to walk out the door when i hear him ask me. " Hey, is she okay Glenn? She was covered in blood, and looked a little ill."

I turn and face the counter where Kyle is standing, he looks honestly concerned. Ella has a way of touching everybody's heart, and Kyle is one of the many shes managed to help simply by being around. "Yeah, Kyle shes okay. " I don't mention the blood in anyway, because i have no way of talking myself out of it.

I wave to Kyle and walk out of the store, I should probably check her apartment first and if shes not there I'll head to the park. But i doubt she'll go back after what happened earlier. I walk across the street and push the large door to the apartment open. I stop in the lobby to ask the doorman Franklin if he has seen her come home. He said he saw her going up the stairs and she hasn't come back down, so she is obviously still there. I stop and chat with him for a few minutes now that i know where Ella is, we talk about his wife and his daughter that just turned two. 

A few minutes later we part ways and i start to make my way up the stairs to Ella's apartment. I get halfway up the stares when i start to hear someone yelling, i start to walk a little bit faster.

After a couple steps the yelling turns into screaming, and that's when I realize that its Ella. I run up the stairs in an attempt to make it to her faster. At the top of the stairs her screaming gets louder, so I run through the Hall and stop in front of the door.

My heart drops, Ella is on the ground screaming her wings are weakly wrapped around her body. Her hands are over her ears and shes screaming, her body is shaking and spasming. She keeps screaming for someone to make it stop, she turns her head and we lock eyes."Ella!" I yell to get her attention and  In an instant I am by her side, I pull her off of the wood floor and into my arms, while pulling out my cell. I dial Deklans number and put the phone up to my ear.

"What do you want?" Deklan exclaims irritated. 

"You have to stop! Ella must have killed someone with the blade!" I yell desperetly into the phone. Deklan lets out a long sigh and hangs up the phone.

Ella starts begging me to make it stop and asking whats happening. " Its the blade! We dident know you used it, Deklan was in the middle of destroying it! Im so sorry this is our fault." 

Ella continues begging as she reaches her hand out and touches my chest, her hand is shaking as she holds on to my shirt. Her wings suddenly go limp, they unwrap from around her body and lay stretched out across the floor. 

Her screaming turns to mumbles, I can't make out anything she is saying anymore. I pull her closer and start to run my hand through her soft golden hair.

Ella closes her eyes, still shaking and spasming. Her body starts to get hotter and hotter, her cheeks are stained with tears and i am left with no other choice.

I adjust Ella slightly so she can be more comfortable, I close my eyes and do something I havent done in over a year. I allow my wings to appear and quickly surround us with them, the room gets colder and Ella seems to cool down. She opens her eyes and looks up at me, I can see the confusion and pain within the gold.

Her body is not spasming anymore, but she is definetly still shaking. Suddenly her mumbling goes silent. She holds onto my shirt tighter than before and closes her eyes again. The pain in her eyes made my heart sink, the fear in her voice was almost unbearable. 

I can't believe that this is partly my fault, the least i can do is comfort her and pray that it will be over soon for her sake. 

After an hour or so she stops shaking, she goes completely silent. I hold her even tighter than before, i don't dare move. I don't want it to start again, so we just sit there in silence on the floor my wings are wrapped around us and hers lay limp on the floor.

A few minutes pass until her entire body goes limp, her wings fade away so i allow mine to as well. Still to afraid to move we sit in silence, if i have to i would sit here like this for ever just so she doesn't have to go through that again.
