Protective Angels

Part One: The Council

Max's POV

I zip up my baby carryon and check my watch to see its 1:49 am. "Almost time.." i whisper to myself. I press the button on my watch to call Jamie's room. She doesn't answer and I begin to panic. "What if she passed out, oh my gosh what if her wing is injured?!"  I say as my voice begins to raise.

I teleport my bag into the Hall and dash towards Jamie's room and begging banging on it. I hear nothing from the other side and bang again screaming her name. I back up a couple of steps, preparing myself to take down the door as i feel a hand rest in the small of my back. I hadn't felt the hand until my spring had begun and get jolted back as the hand grasped my shirt with full strength.

I fall backwards and bang my head on the ground. My eyes are blurred but you can make out a dark hair and horns...Jamie.

"And what do you think you're doing?" She stated. Although slightly annoyed, I'm pleased to hear she's okay, "You didn't answer when I called your room, and I assumed the worst." With Jamie's health, I tend to panic even over the small things, she can't stand it. I see her hand rest in her forehead and the aura around her has darkened. I see her mouth begin to open for her lecture on how i worry too much, so I interrupt her before she begins.

"I know J I know, cut it out, stop over reacting yadda yadda yadda. I'm sorry I'm just concerned for your health." And the moment I said that last part, I can see visibly see her mood and aura change, I've made a mistake.

"Max, I'm sorry, I know you're only showing how much you care and that I don't have to act tough but I'm fine. Trust me...I'm good for now. I really do appreciate your help all the time." she says in a sad and caring tone. She constantly feels like she's a burden to others due to her condition, and even when I show her I care, I somehow tend to still mess it up.

I chuckle, "Duly noted, and stop apologizing you softie! What happened to tough Jamie who didn't give a crap about others and their feelings?" And she chuckles with me. "She's long gone bud, long gone..",

I see her raise her arm and click her watch, a holographic clock appears stating the time is 1:56 am. She clicks the watch again to close the time. She sighs, "..so off we go then huh?". I nod my head and we head onwards the Hall. "Also if you weren't in your room, where were you?" I ask and she silently responds with a smile and a finger telling me one sec. We turn the corner and I see two books and her small carryon as well on the floor near a pillar.

"If you were done packing you should've teleported it down and came to my room. I spent 6 minutes attempting to close my bag-" and she chuckles. "You pack worse than femgles. And I'm stating this now, I refuse to do your laundry."

She looks a me with a small smirk and I attempt to contain my laughter but fail. I laugh, "Pshh who are you kidding Jamie, you love cleaning my under garments, you'll come around." I announce loudly as we reach the crowded Hall. She turns red and slaps my arm and I see a black feather float down from her wing. "Stop announcing lies to the council" she strains to say as she winces in pain.

I remove the white strands from my face and look her in her eyes and apologize for the thousandth time for being an idiot and causing her pain. She looked back at me and I can still see pain although she looks composed on the outside. I bend my head slightly and place a kiss on her forehead after removing her black hair and she blushes but begins to walk ahead of my grabbing my hand in the process.

We reach the council room and are met with familiar faces, but only one quite matters to us, our lord, Euthoria. "Jamie, Max, how nice of you to join us 2 minutes after the given time.." I feel the irritation radiating off of Jamie already and Euthoria senses it as well. "Jamie hasn't proven to be a difficulty for you, has she Max."  Euthoria announces in a condescending tone. "F-far from, ma'am.." I stutter, attempting to compose myself. "Quite surprising hmm?"she says.

Jamie's irritation grows into aggravation visibly. "Problem Jamie?"

"No, ma'am" she says through gritted teeth.

This isn't going to go well..
