Golden Wings ( Jelsa )

Chapter Two

Chapter Two // The Nephilim

Elsa

I peek out of the window quickly, seeing the sun has set and a full moon has risen. "I need to go quick..." I whisper to myself.

I slip on my black knee high boots, and take off my sweater.

I rush out into the open grass area, and turn around to see if anybody was watching.

All clear.

I unleash my wings, and quickly soar up in the direction of the moon. The journey to heaven from earth is long and tiring. Especially since I have not spent time to practice the use of my wings.

It's kind of hard to do that when I'm on earth. I can't just pop open my wings whenever and practice flying. "Come on Elsa....just push," I encourage myself.

I ignore the pain of my heavy wings weighing me down, and continue to fly upwards.

Finally, after a long time- I break the atmosphere and fly into space. I immediately see a body soaring downwards to earth. He looks like an Angel....

But at the same time he doesn't.

He has golden colored wings, and looks unconscious. I begin to hover, watching him fall towards earth at a extreme speed.

I sigh, feeling guilty. I can't stop... I have to make it to heaven in time and back to earth quickly.

I shut my eyes tight and take a breath in before continuing my journey. When I make it to heaven, I sneak around the gates towards the back entrance.

I hide behind the back entrance, waiting for my sister to show. I look around frantically, making sure nobody would pop out of nowhere and see me.

Come on Anna....

Suddenly Anna flies out of the entrance and sees me. "Els!" she shouts quietly. I smile, as she tackles me with a hug. "Hey," I reply just as quiet. "We need to hurry....I can hear their footsteps coming," Anna states.

I nod. Angels have sensitive hearing, but since I am half Angel, half Human....my angel abilities need to be worked on. It takes much more effort for me to do those kinds of things than a regular Angel.

Anna pulls the elixir out of her satchel. "Elsa...this is the last fix of elixir. You can't come here for anymore," Anna states, her expression filled with sadness. My eyes widen.

"What? What do you mean Anna? Without the elixir, I can't survive!" I shout.

Being a Nephilim, ( Half human half Angel breed ) technically I'm not suppose to be alive. I'm half supernatural, and half natural. Surviving with both opposing lives, I shouldn't be alive right now because there is no such thing as a natural and supernatural being.

This elixir keeps my body from shutting down. I travel to heaven every few months to get an elixir from Anna. "I'm sorry.... the Angel Chief destroyed the rest of it," Anna explains.

"But look- there is still hope," Anna utters. My ears perk up. "Yes? What is it?" I ask. "Find a witch on earth- one who is not corrupt, and maybe they can make an elixir for you... hopefully a permanent one. They sure have the ability to do so," Anna informs.

"Also, because of their magic, they have ties to the supernatural. We can contact each other through a witch. I don't want you coming back here any time soon, because they are increasing security which will make it easier for you to be found," Anna states.

I nod, watching her anxiously. "I love you Anna," I state, hugging her. "I love you too. You have to go now, Angels are hovering around," she warns.

I nod, and quickly fly off the land.

I laid in my bed, my whole body aching. The fly wore me out majorly. It's all because of my lack of practice, and also because I'm not fully an Angel to be taking in that kind of pressure from my wings.

Every time I let out my wings it's a terrible pain. My back tears for them to release, and putting my wings back in is also no ride in the park.

I drink the elixir quickly. It's honestly the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth- the taste of it makes me want to vomit- but it's better to drink it than to be dead obviously.

"Now where can I find a witch?" I ask myself, sitting up on the bed. I immediately groan, the pain from my back hitting me harder.

I lay back in my bed, sighing. Angels can usually locate other supernatural beings, but like I've been saying- I'm half human and my abilities are such a struggle.

If only I could find either an Angel, a Demon, or a Soul Keeper out here who could help me find a witch. Not many are roaming around earth, unless they have a mission.

All I know is, I will find a way to get a witch....my life depends on it.
