Those With Wings

When Three Little Words Mean Something Big

Alex's POV

I sat up, startled, and scared. I knew something just happened. I could smell the demon guts, and heard it's dieing moaning sound.

Then it all went silent.

Usually after Luanna finished a battle, she gets all loud, and happy.

But it was silent.

And Luanna's bedroom is not next to mine. Her's is upstairs.

It was Zero's room.

Luanna's POV

I hadn't the slighest clue what was going to happen. If I did, then maybe I wouldn't be crying to the point of filling a small kiddy pool. I just had lost the only person who was nice to me in this whole world.

I didn't let go of the grasp that I had on Zero's hand. I just couldn't take it, this wasn't fair at all. I have never even seen that demon, and it was way stronger and bigger than most of the ones that I had fought. It took an hour, an hour to defeat it. It keep regurtating itself back. And was only going for Zero, not the one who was gonna kill it.

That means....That means....

Someone wants Zero dead.

"Luanna...what's....why....I feel better now....but I feel~" I had saved him, but there was a price with his life. The price, was haveing wings, and haveing to go through what I've been through.

That, and haveing more people of the other branches of the kingdom after me and him, so they could have their own personal slaves.

Ugh, so not gonna happen.

And now to think about it, since we're gone, they're gonna start a war again, for the ruleing family, and the slave family.

So much for haveing 8 branches. The soon will have only 6.

Our branch is compleatly gone, even though we might just gain one, in the process of adapting to a human life.

Although I guess it would be nice to have someone to be there for me, and fly along side of me, besides Alex.

To think about it now, maybe I really ment those three little words, more then even I know.

Maybe a small, weak, pipsqueak like him, who wants to help, but doesn't know how is who I need.

"Relax, you're in alotta pain. You're in just so much that you can't feel it. You're physically fine, but there's a question that you have to answer for me"

"What's that?"

"Well, there's a few." I stopped, hopeing to sum up everything in a few words. "First, are you willing to possibly give up everything you have now?"

"Yeah," He moaned, queitly.

"Second, are you willing to fight these things to the death so they don't hurt anyone else?"

"As long as you stay by my side"

"Third, are you willing to gain wings like mine?"

"Yeah," He looked tired. The gold bright light was still around us, encloseing us. We had to end this fast, before it attracted anything else.

"This is the final question." I stopped, looking at the ground for a moment before tightening my grip on his hand. "This is the question that will determine your fate. Do you, Zero, wish to live?"
