Demon of my Heartstrings

Six: Angel of Light & Peace

-Zakary-

It's a bit awkward as it's just Brigid and me alone in the woods. I've never been alone with her before, and to be honest, we still don't know much about her. I glance down at her to see her resting, and she looks to be getting her energy back. It's weird that I'm not with the others, but I couldn't leave her by herself. Brigid helped us out by finding out that Cristobal is still around, and we now can help her by letting her rest. I look over at her again as she slowly sits up letting out a sigh, and she definitely looks a lot better than when she first woke up.

"Thanks for staying with me, but sorry that you had too." Brigid says awkwardly.

"Don't apologize. It's the least I could do in return since you helped us out. We're friends now, and friends help each other." I say giving her a smile.

"Thank you Zakary." Brigid says standing up slowly.

I stand up as well and stretched my limps before looking over at Brigid whose doing the same. I ask her if she's ready to catch up with the others and she nods giving me a small smile. I'm about to contact Chax through mind link when I sense someone teleporting. I snap my head in the direction before stepping in front of Brigid for protection. A bright ball of light appears blinding us both, and I wince as it actually burns my skin a bit. The light slowly fades away and I glance over to see someone who I thought I'll never see again.

"Joy?" I ask stunned.

Joy is an Archangel much like Michael, but she's the Archangel of light and peace. She has medium length blonde hair that fades into pink at the bottom, has bright baby blue eyes, and her skin a pale complexion. Joy is wearing a white long dress but has a rip on the right side that comes up to her knees. The dress is a tank top but she has pulled on sleeves that are the same color as her dress but has golden ringlets on the ends. To top it all with her outfit, she wears the same color shawl over her shoulders that come down just beneath her shoulders. The shawl has golden ringlets around it as well as a blue button strap on across her neck. Joy wears sandals just like any other angel, but since she's an archangel she has her very own special weapon. Joy carries around a spear that's made of holy light, and it's strapped to her waist for easy access.

"Zakary. So this is where you've been doing with your new life?" Joy asks putting one hand on her hip.

"What are you doing here?" I ask dismissing her question.

"I came to find Michael, and this is where I sensed him but he's not here clearly. What are you doing here?" Joy asks raising an eyebrow.

"I'm helping out my friend. We were about to meet up with the rest of our friends." I say kind of awkwardly.

"Friends? I thought we were friends Zak?" Joy asks looking hurt.

"I didn't think you wanted too. Since I'm not an angel anymore." I say upset.

"I'm not like the other angel's Zak. I know Michael didn't either, even though he pretends to be. Were friends, if you still want to be that is." Joy says crossing her arms.

"Of course! I mean, you said you're looking for Michael?" I ask changing the subject.

"Yes. Do you know where he is?" Joy asks.

"Well, he was here but left to continue something. I'm not sure where he is now." I tell her truthfully.

"Okay. I guess I'll have to find him on my own, wait! Who are you?" Joy asks gesturing towards Brigid.

"She's my friend Brigid." I answered.

"You're magic is different. It's not like any other demons. Who are you?" Joy asks stepping closer to her.
