Fallen Arches

Chapter Five

-Raphael-

She was insane, an insanely amazing girl who is either really nieve or a complete lunitic. Normaly when one tells a woman that they are an angel of god gone wrong and that thier husband was possesed by the verry first demon in history they would run or call the police. What dose Annalisa do? She gets angry.

"Your a freakin angel, and you didnt do anything about this?" She motioned angrily at her legs. "I thought we were friends."

"Lisa," Drader cut in. "He's an angel of the lord. He has no friends." He nodded.

I glarred at him but other wise left him unharmed. Annie mirrored my expression.

"And you! I thought you went away to school, mom sent you for a higher education."

"Yea, well dad sent us for a better education. We were offered a spot at the best supernatural school in the world. We took it. We became Philomela." Drader took a step back and pointed at me. Trying to get the convorsation back to my failure. "How do you think i met this lug of bird."

Before she could say anything, i spoke. "Annie, technically im not an angel any more."

She looked at me like i was insane. Which im sure i deserved. "What are you talking about? You have wings!"

"Yes, but.. i shouldnt." I looked at the ceiling, i couldnt see her face anymore, she no longer looked angry, she was upset. She was concerned. "Almost a week ago, i was informed by a very good.. friend of mine that i would be relieved of my apendages."

She looked timid. "What do you mean?"

Drader stood up and shook his head. "I can't believe you Lisa, what this idiot is trying to say is this. It isnt our fault that you cant walk, blame that bastard you call a husband. Stop being so selfish, he saved your life. He's done alot for you, plus he's recently lost his halo. And if you cant accept things for what they are then -"

Its the eye of the tiger its the thrill of the fight

Drader paused but then just continued after a second. Ignoring his singing pocket. "-then its your loss, you used to be such a -"

stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all with

Drader fumbled with his phone. "- good... girl."

Annie rolled her eyes. "Answer your phone Micheal."

Drader didnt need to be told twice, he sprinted to the kitchen.

The traitor left me alone with a hysterical woman. "I know i sound selfish, but seriously Raph, you havnt even tried to heal me?"

I lifted my hands up, trying to show they were tied. "I have tried Annalisa."

She crossed her arms over her chest and for the first time in my existance i had the slightest urge to shake her. "I dont believe you." That hurt. Why did that hurt so much?

It was quite for a minute and i listened to Drader in the other room talking on his phone. "I still pray. even though i've fallen, i've been casted out of heaven Annie, i cant go back. But i still pray, becuase i refuse to accept the angel's decision as God's."

"What are you-" I didnt let her finish. It was my turn to speak.

"Its not they're fault either. The other angels just do as they are told. They dont know any better than what the arc angels tell them -"

"They sound like slaves. Dont you believe in freedom?" She demanded.

I looked at her, Why was she so upset? What had i done that was so wrong? I was starting to miss Sabel. I needed to finish what i had to say. I put both hands on the side of her face and made her look me in the eye.
