A Broken Angel

Chapter Two

The other angel's greeted us at the doors of our protection room. Adrial went up to each guardian and kissed their forehead wishing them luck on the battlefield that day. Then she had me go through and take away the pain of each guardian. As Adrial's first angel to ever be picked I have many great abilities. I can take away pain from both guardian and angel, but that pain must go somewhere so the action makes me very weak as I allow myself to be in many types of pain. The guardians piled out into battle as I finished with them.

Conner was at the end of the line and looked me deep in the eyes as I approached him feeling the pain roll off of him. He sent me a sharp look, telling me then and there not to take another step toward him. He bowed deeply to our queen then marched out of the room like a true warrior.

 With a lack of something better to do, the angel's stood inside waiting for news from our leading guardians. Finally after what seemed like forever, Conner came into the room. I felt pain crash around me as I collapsed onto the floor. Closing my eyes, I tried to control the shuttering slowly taking over my pained body. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my sholders pulling me close. Taking a deep breath I allowed myself to lean into Conner.

I opened my eyes to find him staring down at me pain deep in his eyes. I wrapped my arms around him quickly slowly my breathing so that I cuold focus on taking his pain away from him. Conner relaxed almost instantly as I drained the pain from his body letting it take over me completely. After what seemed like seconds Adrial made us pull apart so that Conner could tell her what he came for. 

He sighed unwrapping his arms from around me. Slowly, Conner stood and walked to the front of the room as if the scene had never happened. Still taken over by his pain I sat on the floor trying to pay attention to what he was saying. "My queen, the guardian have fallen weak, we have lost many many numbers in the last few hours..." His eyes teared up at the thought of his lost comrades. I resisted the urge to run to him knowing Adrial would disapprove. Even though she knows angel's and guardian's are in unbreakable relationships, she disapproves of us showing much affection in public. Especially her leaders, we have to be strong for everyone, so Conner and I are forbidden of showing affection even though it's obvious the importance we have for each other.

Conner nodded briefly at her before leaving the room. Not even glancing in my direction.

Ignoring the objection from Adrial and the other angel's protests I ran out after him. "Conner!" He turned slightly at my cries, remaining in the soldier mood. Unreadable and dangerous. "Conner, I'm scared." I trembled reaching out to him. He backed away from my out reached arms and turned to walk away.

"Goodbye Faethe." He told me, his voice cold and emotionless. I watched as my guardian yet again walked away from me.

I awoke screaming Conner's name, tears falling faster down my face. The sun was barely rising when I looked out the window. I figured I still had a while before I had to get ready so I closed my eyes and whispered to myself, why. Why does he act like that to me. Finally I decided it was time to get up so I did and I got ready for what I knew would be the hardest day of my life. We had a track meet today which meant Conner would make himself die before losing. I knew it more than others, but I knew what pain he was in.

School passed quickly until thrid hour where we were called out for the track meet. The bus ride was short because we were going to a long time rivial. It scared me because it would only mean Conner would push himself that much harder. After we ran a warm up lap our team went onto the field and streched.

The field events were called and everyone rushed off except for the select few of us that only performed in running events. Finally the 100 came around and I walked to the starting line. I sighed as I saw Conner walking beside me. I made small talk with one of the other guys that ran in the event as well. C girls and C boys ran, making it now my turn. The gun rang off and I sprinted down the line focusing on the image of Conner infront of me. I ran my fastest with him around so I always imagined him running with me.

Taking second I congradulated the other girls running against me. We watched the B boys and the A girls then came the race I had been waiting for. The team watched as Conner took his stance on the starting line. The gun went off and they raced quickly coming at us. Conner and another guy were so close leaving the other guys in the dust. My friends and I cheered happily as Conner took the lead and crossed the finish line first.

I felt small surges of pain but nothing was too bad so I allowed myself to breath calmly. The rest of everyones events went smoothly, I took third and first and second in my other events and Conner took first in everything. The only problem was his pain was worsening with every race.

I knew this was going to be terrible as Conner took his place at the starting line for the mile. After two laps I could feel my breath getting labored and pain over welming me as I forcused in on him taking away as much as I could. When he crossed the finish line our team cheered and I did my best not to cry. I watched as his precious girl ran to him and congradulated him on his win. As he passed me I smiled and said a quite good job. Conner ignored me and went and sat with his friends who were now getting ready to leave.

On the bus ride home we were over taken by darkness. I stared out the window at Adrial and cried quietly. When I got home that night I was reluctant to fall asleep knowing it meant I would have to see Conner and talk to him. Finally I told myself they needed me and fell asleep quickly.
