Walking around the city I could hear screams coming from different directions. The air stunk of burning and I could see smoke rising in the distance. A battle had already begun here, I looked at Adrian in shock and he smirked "You thought we were the only angels who wanted a fight? Nah Amy we end the fight but our kind never miss a battle." I frowned annoyed they didn't tell me this before. How many of our kind was there? How many would lose their lives today because of me?

We walked down a rubble road, looking around me at the destruction. A car had been pushed into the road digging half the red convertible inside it. Adrian signalled for the groups to split up. I shook my head and he glared at me walking off anyway. Jason put a hand on my shoulder making me jump "It might be dangerous but he knows we cover more ground this way, keeping you alive is the main goal here." I nodded and followed him into the city of destruction. While we walked down I felt the tension building as we waited for an attack. Jason was standing behind me watching the back while the others were watching all the other directions.

Suddenly there was a flash of white. I stopped facing an angel holding a mace. His hair was black and messy the mace covered in blood and so was his ripped clothes. He walked towards me slowly swinging the mace with no real control. I felt bad but I knew he would be an easy kill. Amber gave me a nod jerking her head in the guy's direction. I bit my lip and slowly walked towards him.
He swang his mace once before I grabbed his arm breaking it. The mace fell to the floor. He threw a punch at the air with his good hand I easily dodged before quickly plunging my sword into his chest. The light in his eye left quickly and he fell to the floor in a heap. I cleaned my sword in his clothes before walking. Ash picked up the mace swinging it around quickly. He nodded approving before following us. I couldn't help looking back feeling guilty for murdering someone.

Federation Square was where the major battle was happening. I saw Adrian and his group already deep in battle. Will was helping Adrian fight. I didn't get long to survey the area before my group was forced to join battle. I killed two angels before I suddenly froze. I was killing people, how could I do this. An angel saw my hesitation and jumped on me. I was pinned down to the floor a knife to my neck. The angel snarled at me while I tried to push him off. He suddenly let a scream of pain and fell on top of me suddenly. I pushed him off I wiped my cheek smudging some blood across my cheek. I heard a chuckle and turned to see my hero was none other than Will "Oh Amy what would you do without me?" He smirked
"I just felt bad we are killing" I looked towards the battle
"Don't think of it as us killing them, think of it as if we don't they will kill us." I nodded knowing he was right and quickly picked up the angel's knife and throwing it towards an oncoming angel. I missed his chest but got his arm. He let a scream out and ran towards Will and I. Will made a bow and bunch of arrows appear and started shooting as fast as he could the angel was limping now and I ran towards him and quickly slit his throat. He let out a gurgled cry and fell to his knees dying. I spun round and quickly stabbed an angel pinning Jason to the ground before Amber burnt his legs to try and get him off. My blood was pumping adrenaline pumping through me. I felt alive.

Adrian suddenly got my attention "AMY! Go! Go find him!" I bit my lip before looking around, there were now more fallen then angels and I knew my team had this covered. The thought of leaving them didn't sit right with me. I can't escape while there is a chance some of them could die. "AMY GO!" Adrian's voice was louder than anything in my own head. I quickly let my wings out. I quickly flew off looking for the bastard so I could end this war.

I had been flying around for ages. There was a fire coming out of a building and a few angels screaming as their wings burnt cutting them off from escaping. I smirked, they might think they are pure but my guys knew how to fight when we needed to. No matter how hard I looked I couldn't find Leo anywhere. Suddenly I saw a flash of white in the corner of my eye. Turning to follow it I saw an angel flying away from a burning car, a human trapped inside. I flew down, "close your eyes!" I yelled praying they could hear me I used the handle of my sword to break the window open. Finding a jacket I pulled off a nearby dead angel I put it over the glass letting them climb out. I made sure they were running before taking off again. They were meant to be the good guys, close to God and all that, well then why did they need a fallen angel to save humans, wasn't that their job?
