The Jewels; Mother of Pearl (#ABA2017)

Chapter Forty Four

Lola lifted her head, "are you alright?" she asked.

Annika looked very pale as she rested her head on her arm, "I'm fine," she replied as she held her head with both arms, she looked around and watched as stray wispies continued to buzz around, "I just need to keep moving," she informed as she stood up and shook her head, her long black hair waving in the soft breeze.

Dark specks flew from her head and fell to the ground and ran to the shadows, she soon stopped and almost all the specks flew back to her, and more seeped into her head, some even seeped into her skin or disappeared in her pockets or up her sleeves or skirt.

"Why do Dark Wispies come to you?" Lola asked.

"Because I'm a Humanoid," she informed as she tightened her jacket around her, "half of the Dark Wispies are past Humanoids... we help each other. We keep each other safe."

"Then why do Dark Angels have them?" Lola asked as she struggled to her feet.

"Because Dark Wispies are what turn Angels or humans into Dark Angels or Blood Crawlers," she informed, "I only accept Humanoid wispies though."

Lola looked to the streets, the shadows were buzzing with them, "are they the ones who tried to crawl on me?" she asked.

Annika nodded as she brushed off the wispies that was crawling on her clothes and tried to jump into her hair.

Lola and Annika walked down the broken streets, it looked like all the Dark Angels just fell over, Lola could see some normal Angels and even people. There were still people crying and hiding, in the distance Lola could hear the sound of amulances and fire trucks.

The smoke was clearing and the sun made an appearance behind the buildings.

Annika was helping Lola walk, her legs still quite weak, "I thought we were going to save all the people the Dark Angels effected... not kill them," Lola said as she looked around, a small squeak like noise came from her as her eyes locked onto a troll who was lying down on the ground, a net and a chain over his body.

Lola ran over to Billy.

Annika nearly fell over by Lola's sudden running.

Lola limped over to the troll, she pulled on the net that covered it, it zapped her as she jumped back. Annika ran over to her as she tried to grab the net again, it zapped her painfully again.

Annika stood behind her for a moment and looked at the netting, electricity was still running through it.

Annika grabbed the netting in big chunkfuls and pulled it off with ease, the net itself was huge, covering the length of the whole troll and the areas around him.

"Oh Billy..." Lola tried not to cry as she looked at him, he looked like he was asleep, but he was still a troll. She stood back as Annika who continued to pull the net off of him, he suddenly turned a bright black colour. Annika stopped pulling and jumped back. Annika looked around at the other bodies lying around, they were also covered in black, hiding any feature the once Dark Angel had.

"What's happening to them?" Lola asked as she looked at them all.

Their blackness surrounding them rose up like eveporating water, some bodies grew much smaller, while others grew only a little. The Dark Wispies scrambled around for somewhere dark to hide, but when the suns rays even glanced at them they let off distressing buzzing as they sizzled up and disappeared like actual darkness to light.

All that remained of the once Dark Angels and Blood Crawlers in the street were people, mainly children, lying in the streets. Each varying in clothing, race, sex and age.
