Lifted Up

Chapter 1

~I am anger. I am hostile. I am fury.

I am fire. I am hatred. I am consuming.~

I watched my love die with a hole in his chest and his blond hair matted in blood. His friends looked to me as if I did the wrong.

~I am a burning fire. I am a violent tongue. I am destructive.~

Will died and I swore to kill any demon who wanted it so. Anger of revenge, revenge of survivors guilt. It made me a warrior.

When I took him up to heaven with the only escort I knew how, he looked at me and on his lips was an apology he never should have said.

~I have made the obscene decision to do something unforgivable for the sake of our survival. Listen to me: I was a child who only wanted to heal things~

His lips tasted like honey. Those words broke my heart. When the show on earth was over and we took our spots before the All-Knowing, I pledged for a human for the first time in my life.

And I begged

to let him become

I wanted to give him another chance to heal.

For I was the soldier, with battered hands and dark eyes. He was the medic, still on the front lines with blood stained hands but a good heart.

I was once guardian angel, he was once human. Change came like a hurricane.

Guardian angel. He became a medic in our holy war. His hands no longer held the blood of the ones he killed.

Archangel. I became a warrior, a soldier, an angel that only existed to fight. I killed all the demons that ever hated my love. ~Now, I grow wings and rage. I learn how to kill.~

We became lovers in a war that would never end. We became partners in a battle that took and killed. We became soulmates in a place one could only be
