Angel of Light [English Version] (Completed)

Chapter 15: Angels among us

Lexa was about to close her eyes, after taking a relaxing bath and talking to her beloved Clarke with whom she had been arranged for the next day to pass for her at the institute, and become the model for the talented sculpture artist.

She felt happy, complete, despite not having liked to visit that dark place, she repeatedly told herself that her visit to that place was only for good reasons, and she was glad to have apparently convinced Ontari to accept her help. Now Lexa really hoped that she could help Ontari's little boy to see. After listening to the voice of her sweet Angel, listening to her laugh, excited, clearly in love with her, was all she needed to be able to close her eyes in peace, although she would so much like to have Clarke by her side in bed, and to be able fall asleep holding her.

"Patience Lexa, do not pressure Clarke, do not scare her away, she will not go anywhere" she repeated to herself as she and looked at the ceiling in the darkness of her room, which was barely illuminated by the dim lights of the big city. But suddenly her phone began to vibrate on the small oak table next to her bed. Lexa immediately thought that it could be her Clarke texting her to say goodnight. Lexa turned the small lamp on, picked up her phone and when Lexa realized who the message was from she frowned in surprise.

It was a very unexpected message from Raven, asking her for help, at this time of night? And why her, Lexa did not understand? Lexa knew that Raven and herself were not what you might call "friends." But the fact that Raven was asking for her help meant that the brunette was in trouble and that for some reason Lexa was the one who could help her.

Lexa sat on the bed to think, Raven was not her cup of tea, but she knew she was not a bad person, she was someone who had taken care of and looked after her beloved Clarke, being her best friend, and she could never refuse a request for help.

Half an hour later, Lexa, quite intrigued and a little nervous, arrived at the address that Raven had given her, after going to her clinic and getting everything she apparently would need to help a friend of Raven who had been assaulted, and who was very badly injured and but Raven could not call an ambulance, or take her to a hospital. Raven had promised Lexa that she would not get into any trouble for helping her, but that she could not give her more details, and that she really did not have anyone else whom she could trust. Her friend needed urgent medical attention and Lexa was a doctor.

Lexa did not like much about how the whole situation sounded, but she could never refuse a person who needed medical help, it was part of her oath and also something human and moral.

The neighborhood was not to her liking either, very close to the Bronx, an area too dark for her to feel safe. She parked her black BMW beside an old building, on a completely empty street, it was 1:26 AM. Suddenly she could see, with some fear, that a figure dressed in black and wearing a hat was coming towards her car. Lexa's pulse increased suddenly, and she gripped the steering wheel of her car, if she felt threatened, she was ready to press the accelerator, without thinking twice.

But as the person approached her window, she noted with relief that was Raven. Lexa lowered the window down as she let out the breath that she had held in when she did not know who was outside her car, and the Latina crouched down to talk to Lexa who noticed that Raven's hands were bloodied, as were her clothes in places.

- Lexa, thanks for coming, I promise you will not get into any trouble. We just need to take my friend to her apartment and treat her injuries as much as we can then you can without worrying about the matter.

- Raven, it's fine, but what has happened to your friend? And where is she?

- She's in that alley, some men whom i guess were those who attacked her left her lying there, she's very badly injured and is unconscious, and I can not carry her by myself to her apartment but I do not know anything else, come, let's not waste any more time.
