Nobody's Angel

Chapter 12

I was running, running for dear life, the screams were filling my ears as I ran closer to the destination I headed toward, " Angelica! Save me, please!" Courtney's screamed filled with fright; I ran into the unknown shadowy mansion as I ran everywhere I could reach, I ran into a particular area where I found the orphans, all sprawled around the dark floor with blood, Mrs. Tatum getting held captured by an unknown shadowy figure as many surrounded the walls, and Courtney, was looking at me with dead eyes, oh how freighting how deadly pale she was as she was laying on a table, laying there lifelessly as I see her blink once, twice, " You left me to die."

I woke up in haste screaming, tears and sweat were running down my face as I felt shaken up, My Parents ran to my room as they comforted me, " It's ok to love, she will be ok, we will find her together Angelica, just stay calm" My mom soothed me as she stroked my hair, I was still breathing heavily, my head in my hands as I tried to collect myself, that had just to be one of the worst nightmares I ever had in my life, I nodded as my parents left my room and turned off the light, I laid back in my bed as I stared at my window; this moment reminded me of when I first started this adventure, staring at the moon, there was one thing different between here and New Jersey, the sky here filled with beautiful stars, which is something you will never see in the city, with all the streetlights and bright colors those were my stars for the longest time, but these stars make me feel calm. I got up from my bed and opened my window as I stared at the sky a little longer, it made me wonder if Courtney could see the air like this, hoping for me to come and save her, " Don't worry Courtney, I will find you, I will save you" I whispered as I closed my eyes. I woke up with a little ease this time. However, the nightmare I had was still a nagging thought that wouldn't leave no matter what I thought about, I pretty much ate my breakfast in silence, my dad was always worried as he held my hand, " Still thinking about that nightmare aren't you?" he asked, I only just nodded, I didn't know what to say at the moment, they already knew how I felt, it probably didn't even matter at all, I told them about it, I then heard the doorbell ring as my mom went to answer it, I recognized the voices immediately, " She is still a bit shaken up, but since your, her friends you can come in" came in was Brennan, Maya, and Owen. Surprisingly enough, Raven was there too, " Hi dear, are you feeling a little bit better at least?' Raven asked, a bit of concern shown on his face, I just shrugged, " I mean, I'm eating is that a good sign?" I looked up to see him smiling, it made me feel good to see a smile that's reassuring, " That's Good enough in my eyes" I gave a small laugh as I looked down at my empty plate, " I know you probably don't want to hear this Angelica, it's just-" I could tell Brennan was nervous, it was evident in his voice, I looked up at him as he started again"- We need to travel once more in able to find them" " Well, I suppose it's as good as we are going to get" I sighed as I stood up, " When do I leave?" " Oh no darling hold up" I looked at my mother, she was shaking her head, I guess she was the one that was disagreeing this fact, " You are not going alone, You traveled here on your own sure, but with the trouble, you ran to then is different now, we all have to face them and go together" My eyes widened a bit, sure she wasn't opposing the fact were leaving now but was worried by us going there alone, " Your mother is right, we are at war anyway with these Dóite Angels and Pure Dark Angels, and there's more of them than you think, " Pure Dark Angels? But my uncle he-" I paused, wasn't he a Pure Blood Angel like my mom? " -isn't he a Pure Blood Angel like you and dad?" I asked they were a bit hesitant to answer my question, a minute passed as my mom finally explained, " He was once a Pure Blood Angel, He was once a charming guy, my brother, I guess once I met your father it was slowly changing, and when I was pregnant with you,  was angry, he cared about being the purest angel, or something, back then I knew something was wrong, so when you were born, you can guess why we left you in New Jersey" Mom looked down she looked ashamed for everything that had happened like it was her fault, " Darling, It wasn't your fault" my dad went to my mom and hugged her, my mom was right, we had to do this together, and I know we will need it, I stood up quickly as they all turned to me," Mom is right, Assemble each Angel here, we all are doing this together."

(No one's pov)

It was dark in that place, and little warmth was given, footsteps were heading toward the underground cells, as each figure stepped in the catacombs each orphan child was scared and whimpered in fear, the dark angels walked to the very end of the catacombs to the last cell, Dameon had looked in to see the girl still looking our her cell window, " Good news dear, someone is on the way to save your pitiful life" the girl ignored eyed contact with the man, still looking above to see the night sky that night, Dameon got irritated as he stared at the girl continuously glaring, " You know, of all the kids I'm experimenting on, you will be my favorite to test on, make sure to get plenty of rest, cause you will need it" He then walked away as his colleagues followed him, little did they know that the girl was smiling as she still looked out at the starry sky, " I'll be waiting for you Angelica, I'll be here waiting to see you one more time" Courtney said as she felt her self-falling asleep on the cold prison floor.
