Sorry for not uploading anything this week!!! 

I was swamped with work and couldn't find the right time.. Enjoy! <3

-----

I open my eyes, choking, gasping for air, I try to sit up but I fall back onto the bed.

At least I'm home, well, not my home, but a safe one indeed.

"Hey hey hey, you're okay, I got you" the familiar low voice I've been waiting to hear again said.

My sight was still quiet vague but I could make out the form of Sam, who recently I discovered is my guardian angel.

I look down and see that his hand is holding mine while the other lays on my stomach, purple material of some sort swirling between his fingers, making me feel rather weird.

"I'm trying to heal you" he said when he recognized my confused expression.

"Am I in heaven?" I could hardly say.

He laughs and looks at me, "No, you're not. I survived through humanizing, actually, thanks to you. I don't know how, Richard wanted to tell us together." He said, smiling slightly.

I gather up every single portion of energy that I have and sit up to hug him.

Tears were flooding my eyes, both from pain and excitement.

"I can't believe you made it! I have so much to ask, so much to say to you!" I almost yelled.

He laughed again.

Richard walked in to the room.

I let go of Sam and smile at him, he sits next to me on the bed and hug me so hard it almost hurt.

"Careful, she's still not well." Sam said with a worried expression on his face.

"Shut up, boy" he says and let go, I can see tears in his eyes and that makes me smile, I never thought someone would care for me as much as these two do.

"How do you feel?" Richard asked me with a pained look on his face.

"Like I was kidnapped and tortured by a damned angel" I said jokingly through the pain.

When no one laughed, I realized that maybe it's just too soon.

"What about this angel, by the way?" I asked, looking at Sam, he did not look back at me.

"Oh, compassionate Halo.. What do you think?" Richard asked back.

I looked at him, then at Sam.

Did he..?

I was furious.

"I think I'm gonna let you two work this out in private" Richard said getting up.

Sam looked at him, pleading for him to stay, gave him some sort of a "don't leave me alone with her" kind of look.

Is he.. scared? Well, he should be!

"Did you KILL him?" I asked slowly.

"Well, you see, I-"

"Did you, or did you not, kill him?" I asked again, cutting his excuses off.

"I did but what did you expect me to do? He almost killed you!" he said squinting his eyes.

"Yes, he deserved to be punished, but not to be killed, not by you! Is it even legal? To kill an angel? There must be some other way to get justice!" I yelled.

"I can't believe you killed him, and because of me! I got someone killed! That must win me like a thousand years in hell!" I screamed again

"There isn't another way! It was either you, or him. Father do not care for us angels, we could all die and he would still care for you humans more!" he yelled back at me, and for a split second his eyes turned purple again, mixing with the blue of his human eyes. My heart dropped and I choked.

He closed his eyes as hard as he could and looked at me again.

"You are all I care about, my guarded, my human, I will kill everyone, and everything including myself in order to save you, so forgive me if I killed some underdog angel just to make sure you're safe." He said calmly.

I could tell he wasn't calm at all, but he tried.

Damn, I miss him when he didn't know who he is.

But those words, they made my heart flutter, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I have a guardian angel, and that I was going crazy over him.

I wondered if he felt the same way, or was he just bound to care for me, and that's all.

"I-I'm sorry I just don't know how to react to everything, this is all news to me, I'm just tired and hurt and I wanna sleep for the next decade and then when I wake up maybe I can figure everything out and-" I was speaking quickly, tears running fast down my cheeks, and he just made that all go away when he cut me off by giving me a warm, understanding hug.

I wept, sobbed, and he was still there until I calmed down.

I pulled away.

"Jesus, I made a mess out of your shirt it's all wet with tears" I said as I started to cry again because I thought he'd be mad.

He simply laughed.

"It's just a shirt, Halo." He said grabbing my head with both of his hands and forcing me to make eye contact with him.

He nodded at me as to make sure I was okay and wiped my tears away and kissed my forehead lightly and shortly.

"Now rest", was all he said.

"Will you still be here when I wake up?" I asked embarrassed.

"Then and forever" he replied, raising his eyebrows at me before leaving the room.

There is no way I will fall asleep after all of this, I told myself as I slowly drifted away.
