The Fallen

The Fall

Burning. Falling. Pain.

I burn as I fall. I try to scream but I can't. All around me is silence except for the cracklings sound of fire and wind. Are the others falling too?

"You have to come, Holly." My mother says. She is upset that I don't want to go with her and my father to learn how to be a 'proper angel'. "Just because I'm not God doesn't mean you don't have to listen to me." Just because angels can have babies to help God doesn't mean I have to listen to them. "And what if I don't listen? Just because I want to go to Earth doesn't mean I have to follow you around all the time." This really makes them angry. "How dare you speak of that place! It is filled with horrible things and evil!" "But wasn't it God who said, 'Love the humans more than anything, including myself.' Or something like that?" I can really see them fuming. None of the angels like free thinkers, especially when we used God's words to prove our point. "Do not use God's words for your own selfish reasons." "God's words are the only thing making us angels! And if he disagreed he would say something! Oh wait you know what? The reason why he hasn't said anything is because he's not here!! He no longer cares! He abandoned us long ago! Just give it up!!!" My father gives me 'the look'. I'm in trouble now... "I'm sorry I didn't mean that. I love him I do I really do, but you can't brain wash me because I want to follow his commands. All of them." "You are going to follow and learn what it means to be an angel. You will not speak again and when we get back you are to be punished."

"The rebel has been spotted recently. He is currently working with Metatron. If Castiel and Metatron are doing what has been reported then we need to prepare for battle." Naomi says. "We need to kill them!!" A random voice says. "We can't just go around murdering each other." Is this really what it's like to be an angel? "So what do we do?" My mother sounds worried. "For now we go out and work like normal. I will try to find them and tomorrow we will act!" Everybody seems satisfied and begin to leave one by one.

"Arguing?" My mother asks my father. "I don't know we should check." My father turns towards Naomi's office and I follow. As we near I hear a thud and my father opens the door. "Naomi!!!" my father screams. Metatron turnes. "You will all fall and burn!!" and then he was gone. I turn around to see my father on the ground. He is bleeding. "No no no no!! How could he do this?? Mom please take out the blade and heal him!" Crying I bend down to help. "I can't Holly. He is dying it is no use." I hear Metatron flash in and turn as he closes the door. I try the door knob, locked. I bang on the door crying. "Let me in! Prove everyone wrong and let me in! Save my father! Please!!" Nothing.

And then it happened. Everything under me collapsing slowly and then all at once. Pain overwhelming me. Everything goes black for a second and then I'm burning and everything is bright. I can feel my wings ripping and my body crumpling as I fall.
