Feathers and Shadows

Chapter 20

The white light in the distance seemed to spring up at the sound of the alarm, which was a weird thunder sound that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere, and as it rapidly closed in I saw the Angels. Panic filled me and I looked around the room, no one had come in yet. I looked down from my window and saw Demons, armored and not pouring towards the wall, that didn't seem to be there before.

The door to my room burst open and in charged Tayli and Dylan followed by Gabriel.

"We need to leave, the wall won't hold forever, it had been tampered with by someone inside heaven, Michael is doing the best he can to hold it up, but he will not last long," Gabriel said looking grim," all of you quickly! We must get her to safety, back to Earth. Alah ven tulzo!" He shouted to the wall on the right, a portal tore open and I saw the Bronks.

" New York?" I shouted as the portal closed.

"No, not New York," Gabriel said,"now we need another one." He spoke the weird words again and another portal opened, this time to the one place I didn't want to see again.

"Go now!" Shouted Gabriel as the air behind us began to ripple and another portal opened, and white wings came through, then nothing.

"Open your eyes, Ruby." Dylan's voice warmed my ears. I opened my eyes a crack and saw a familiar driveway. I looked even further up and saw familiar tires, then a familiar door, then blood. I tore my eyes away and ran from that cursed place.

"Ruby! Ruby! Ruby come back!" Dylan shouted. I heard footsteps behind me, but the flashback told me it was my father chasing me down the hall. I heard my name being called over and over again, but the flashback registered it as an Angels cry of laughter. I bolted through trees and fields, the sounds of followers faded as I raced towards the one place I needed to go.

I ran up the steps just as she walked outside and flew into her kissing her very hungrily.

"MMMPPPHHH!!!" I heard Mizore scream under my lips. I broke away slightly and said, "Hi." Mizore gaped at me like I was a freak at a circus, then said, "What the hell are those?" She pointed to the area of my back.

"My wings, I have twelve." I said smiling slightly.

"No you don't, you only have two." Mizore said going around to my back.

"What?!?!" I yelled throwing my arms feeling for them. But there was nothing there. I ran down the hall to the big mirror in her room, past her monstrous handmaid, and past the floor where I danced with Mizore and into her room. The big mirror was covered by a haphazard blanket tossed as an afterthought. I threw it off and gawked at what lay behind it, my reflection was the same. Same hair and eyes, same body although a little beaten up and a strange flush in her cheeks, from her kiss with Mizore, and behind her...smoke.
