Living with wings.

Chapter 11

I explain to Glenn everything that happened with Lora, how she appeared and dragged me out of the apartment. Glenn looks upset with every word I say. I start to worry when he furrows his brows and frowns the whole time I talk while remaining completely silent.

Finally once I finish explaining to him he speaks up in a hushed voice. " My sister is the one that attacked you. Her and her jerk of a boyfriend." I can see the pain and guild in his eyes immediately, the way he is looking at me could break a heart. I'm at a loss for words, not out of surprise but because all I want to is to help Glenn.

I try to give him a smile, but it's weak and I'm sure he can see it. I stand up slowly, fighting the pain in my side with some effort. I stand in front of Glenn and take his hand, his hands are soft but also have callouses on the fingertips. I back up inviting him to stand up and walk with me by pulling him. He stands and walks to the centre of the large room, we look each other in the eyes before I whisper to him. " She can sense my wings can't she?" My voice is hushed, trying to keep the ambience light and calm.

Glenn pauses for a second examining my face, his own confused. " Yeah, it's easy to sense but why-"

I cut him off quickly, with a proposition I myself am not sure about yet. " Should we bring her here then?" Glenn and I are surrounded by silence, my question lingering in the air as we both think it over. " Right here, right now?" I have no idea what is possessing me to speak, something about it doesn't sound like me.

Glenn takes a deep breath before making a suggestion of his own. " Only if we both have something to protect ourselves. An angelic weapon should be enough, besides Deklan and Bonnie are the only other demons close enough to be able to sense you. And Bonnie will not hesitate to-"

I slowly move my hands up his arms and around his chest, cutting his words off with an invisible force. He wraps his arms around my shoulders in silent response and we stand there for a moment, I ignore the idea of what we're going to do and just enjoy the embrace. He is so warm it reminds me of my wings, and I smile into his chest. " Any weapon I touch is an angelic weapon." I whisper barely audible against his chest.

We pull apart and look at each other when Glenn asks almost surprised. " Any weapon becomes angelic?" His voice is louder than usual and I nod softly. Suddenly he pulls away from me completely and walks into my bedroom without a word. After a minute or two he walks out with a long blade, the handle is black with a small red jewel on the hilt. Glenn walks a few steps and is standing in front of me once again. " So if you touch this it will be an angelic weapon? It's that easy, it doesn't need to be forged in heaven or something?" I smile and take the blade from Glenn and watch as the dark features fade into a soft white colour and the jewel fades into a shiny blue.

I watch Glenn's eyes widen drastically as he watches the blade change. " As long as it is not a weapon of hell it will change and become completely angelic." I flip the blade around a couple times, cautious not to drop it or throw it or something. " And by the way, where did you get this?' I eye up the blade that seemed to have materialized suddenly in my bedroom.

Glenn clears his throat and adjusts his glasses before replying. " Uh, when Bonnie attacked you I had Deklan put it in your room in case something happened again. And I guess it came in handy now didn't it?"

I laugh a little and hand the blade back to Glenn and watch as it turns black once again. Glenn stares perplexed at the now dark coloured blade before he looks up at me inquisitively, I giggle a little bit before explaining further. " It's an angelic weapon, it runs off of my angelic gifts. So it only remains angelic if I'm the one who wields it, and it definitely does not stay angelic if a demon is the one who uses it. It's convenient, and why you don't see angelic weapons just sitting around. And anything I consider a weapon becomes one, which is extremely helpful."
