Can't I Help?

Edmond's POV

I need to get her somewhere safe...

But. Where?

Rick will always find her...

I was deep in the woods. Castella laid on the ground. Somehow I knew that her wings were broken, so I was careful not to break it even more while I was wrapping it with cloth. She kept mumbling in her sleep, but she never woke up. I haven't fed in what felt like days, I can't even reach the house without almost being caught by Rick's pack...I tightened my arms around her... She shifted, but at least she didn't wake up...

"Edmond?" She asked. I could barely hear her voice.

"Yes..." I quickly (and literally) ripped my arms from around her.

"Wh-What's wrong? I kinda liked that..." On instinct, I put my arm tightly around Castella. I felt her melt to my touch.

"Nothing. I just thought-thought that-you-"

"No I actually fell asleep without any nightmares... Who was that werewolf?" I couldn't see her, but I could tell the sneer just by her voice.

"Richard Pendergraft. The eldest in the Pendergraft family since the 1800's. And also the worst guy you can ever cross. I'm the youngest in the family. By the way, how'd you know he was a werewolf?" I felt her tense.

"I'm an angel. Angels have the ability to sense if something is a human or not. If they're not human, we would feel this sensation through our wings. His was a strong sensation. How'd he end up an evil werewolf? I haven't met anybody like him."

"Oh...that is because of me. I never realized that our maid back then was a werewolf.... Then she performed the ceremony with Rick...He turned on me since then..." I felt myself frown at the memory of Rick throwing me against the wall.

"Sorry, Edmond... You know Daphne? I've been avoiding her since I fell. She is a half demon now. I'm on my way to go back to heaven in 800 years. But if I have to confront her I will. Now give me your hands. I can track Daphne, and I will... Handle her." I found her hands, then held on tightly to them. I felt a little warmness inside my chest. My head hurt... As if someone was forcing a memory I don't even remember out of my head.

"Edmond. We're going now." I am so confused. She sounded really tense.

"She's coming to US. Now hurry up! Head somewhere safe ok?! I could see the confusion on your face . Now GO!" I felt warm lips against mine, Castella's. She didn't give me time to even kiss her back, because she pulled away quick.

"Goodbye, Angel. I'll see you again." I followed my senses to go somewhere safe, I found it. Then I found myself thinking about the tension in that kiss.

Deep into my thoughts, I heard a scream.
