Angel Kisses

Killian's pov

I was trying my best to get there in time to stop this madness. Had I known that my rejection would do this to her I would have never tried to send her back. Why is it that everything I do seems to hurt her? This time when I got her back I would keep her and love her and be the most amazing husband I can be. I would marry her and we'd have as many kids as her heart desires. She would finally be happy and we would be happy together. With this thought I pushed on, I had tried to teleport to get there faster but my ability seemed to be broken I could not travel as I usually did.

Finally I reached the battle scene and searched the chaos for her. Then I saw her, locked in a fierce battle with Rowan. It did not look like her but we had been informed by St. Peter that she had been pobsessed. I pushed through the fight trying to get to her ducking to avoid random blades swinging.

Then I looked up just in time to see the knife in Rowan's hand cut into her flesh. I saw the blood drip down her wound and could do nothing but freeze as I saw her eyes return to there normal color. Then her scream filled the air. I regained my senses and rushed toward her my own cry of pain joining hers as the skeletons around me melted away. They both dropped to the ground next to each other, identical wounds on each of their stomachs. I kneeled next to her tears streaming down my face. I had never cried before as I did now. I tried  with no use to bring her back. I lifted her shirt and kissed the wound but it did not heal as it should. Wiping the blood from my mouth I looked back upon her face. I placed a hand on her cheek and new it was useless as blood traveled out of the corner of her mouth.

Leaning down I pressed my forehead to hers. My own tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Please" my broken voice let out ome final plea but she did not move.

I carefully closed her eyes with my thumbs, barely brushing her skin. It didn't matter that the entirety of the Angelic army was watching this moment of complete weakness.

"I love you, Nova, I love you",I brushed a strand of hair from her face and leaned back down placing my lips over hers.

I never would have expected what came next. It seemed as if light was seeping into my own mouth from hers. I felt a heaviness like shackles be lifted from my body. I either did not or could not pull away I have yet to figure it out. I felt refreshed as the demon half of me was chased away.

Nova's death had finally given me back my place in heaven yet it had come at to great a cost. Finally I was able to disconnect my own lips from here and I fell back. I knew without looking that my wings would be the pearly white that they had once been. That I would no longer burst into flames at the slightest hint of anger. I heard somebody start to approach me but I didn't want to be taken away from her I didn't want her to be taken from me. I looked back over at her and saw that she was once again her usual self. Her spread wings were even as white as mine. I scrambled back to her and pulled her limp body to mine. Though her body looked as it once did, the life it once held could never be returned.

I don't know how long I stayed like that. Holding her to me like she was life itself, because in my eyes she was. Multiple angels tried to divert my attention but I would not let go of her. Long after every other body had been moved from the field I held on.

Finally the sun burst forth in the sky in a beautiful array of Orange, pink, and purple. I knew that Nova would have enjoyed sitting with me to watch the sun rise but I also knew that she never would. I pulled back allowing her body to lay back down on the grass. She looked so peaceful even with the Blood covering her body.

I gathered the courage to sit up and look down upon her lifeless form. There was nothing more I could do.

"Goodbye" I whispered it sweetly and so low that only she would have been able to hear it. Not even the birds in the nearby trees would have been able to eavesdrop on that final word. Goodbye.
