Chapter 7
The Side Effects

I got up onto my feet, unaware of what I could face in this horrifying world. 'Is this some type of... No it can't be!' I started to walk around the darkened death themed world. The ground underneath my feet was blackish green and it felt like walking on needles. The sky above me was a bloody red with black clouds intertwining with it. I kept walking, keeping my guard up for any foes that would want me dead. After what seemed like forever, I made it to a light red color river. I put my pinkie in it to see if it will do any harm to my some what physical body, once I found out it didn't do anything, I got up and started to cross river. Then I herd a cry for help, then a high pitch scream. I turned tail and dashed to the source of the screams. Once I got to the location, their was a little girl with blond hair and... RILEY! It looked like Riley was trying to fight a red were with blood shot eyes. My limbs started to stiffen. My once golden halo turned into the blue sword I knew from my past dreams. I ran up to the were and sliced his left arm. He's roar was mind trembling. I ran over to the two and made my sword turn back to a halo so I could carry the 5 year old. I picked up the blond hair girl and grabbed Riley's hand and took off running. Once we got far enough place, I put down the little girl to see she was asleep now. "Riley, how did you get here? And who is this little girl?"

"J-Jazz is that you?!"

"Yeah, can you answer my question?"

"H-how are you still alive? You been dead for about 5 years now!"

"Well I'm here now, so tell me what's going on!"

"After you fell back asleep, Victoria took over your body and said that she killed you in the dream world. This world is the result of her destruction. And I just found her being chased by the were so I tried to help her, then you came along." Riley really shorten the five years into a couple of sentences.

"Okay, thanks for the information. I'm going to wait here until she wakes up so I can find out why she was getting attacked," I stated while getting my sword out, for any reason.

"Okay, I'll stay too. So can you explain what happened durning the dream world?"

"Yeah, I sorta did die. I died from blood loss and I guess I been turned into an angel of some sort. But I didn't know I was dead for five years. That's some big news to me."

"Yeah I can tell by your expression that it is. How long did you think you were dead for?"

"At most a couple weeks, never concitered years to the equation."

"Well, this is a bit awkward. I'm talking to a dead person."

"An angel."

"Yeah, about that. What kind of angel are you? You don't look like an angel one bit."

"I don't know? All I know is I got this halo and these big wings," I looked behind me to see the wings weren't there. "Well, I had wings a minute ago..."

"Maybe they disappear when you aren't using them."

"Maybe, but I don't have time to worry about that, you two are hurt," with that, my hands started to glow and I placed my hands on his left arm. After a minute or so, I lifted my hands to see the wound healed but for some reason it had 'JAZ' on it. "Uhhh, it's healed, but I don't know what that is," I pointed to the new marking.

"Uhhhh, can it come off?" I shrugged and tried to rub it off but it didn't do anything.

"Sorry, I guess not."

"It's alright, it's just my arm. Plus, it's no longer in pain so that is a benefit," he smiled at his answer. I let out a light giggle then got to being serous.
