The Dark Hour

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

"Astrid!" I stopped and saw Axel. He ran over to me and hugged me. I was getting ready to say something till he stopped me. "Do you know?"

"That I'm with a child, yes. I heard Allison and Ryan talking about it."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I need to go talk to Michael, Axel."

"Then I'm coming with you!" I shook my head.

"No I need to do this on my own. I have to talk to him alone Axel just go back to the room. Please we will talk about this later." He sighed and walked away. I was heading to Michael's office when I heard yelling. I looked and there was a group of angels. I headed that way and made my way to the front of the crowd.

"What's going on?" I asked the angel next to me.

"This kid picked a fight with Jace."

"Really so let me guess he's throwing a fit cause he was beat by someone."

"No, he just insulted him from what I heard."

"Hey dude just cause a kid insults you doesn't mean you need to whine and cry about it."

"I know that, but Jace is kinda ticked. It's the same kid that mocked him earlier." I sighed.

"Hey!" I said walking over to the angel. "Just cause some kid makes you mad doesn't mean you can cry about it. Be a man and stop crying or you're just a baby."

"What makes you think you can boss me around?" He snapped.

"I'm not, I'm just saying stop being a baby. You just don't know how to let things go."

"Well- Ah!" He dropped something and grabbed his shin. I saw a flash of auburn colored hair before they disappeared. I smiled a little bit, I have an idea who that was. I sighed.

"Well I will let you be a baby about that I have to talk too Michael. Have fun." He growled then looked at the crowd.

"Find him!" He snapped. Everyone went running.

"Woah hey! You are not going to hurt the kid. Cause I won't let you first off."

"Why do you even care?"

"Cause he's my friend and friends protect friends. Not because they have to cause they want to."

"Well your standards for friends must be pretty low."

"Yours aren't any better now are they. I choose my friends cause I trust them."

"Well I wouldn't trust a half breed," He said walking off.

"I would rather trust a half breed then a full breed like yourself." I yelled at him. He ignored me and kept walking. What a chicken shit, I kept walking and I finally made it to Michael's office. I knocked on the door three times.

"Come in!" I opened the door and Michael looked tired.

"Sorry to bother you but I have to talk to you. Things have changed I can no longer fight along side with the angels."

"What do you mean?" Michael asked sitting up.

"I will not be fighting, I'm with a child and if I knew sooner I would've told you." He nodded.

"Alright that's fine. I told you earlier I brought all of you here for your own protection. If you wanted to fight you could but you don't have to."

"I know but I told you that I would fight with you guys. I owe you an explanation on why I can't now."

"You don't owe me anything. If you don't fight I won't hold anything against you, it's completely your choice."
