Jack's POV

This battle is killing a lot of the angels, I'm having to tell my little cousin that'll I'll be back in a year or two, I'm going on an adventure in her eyes, she doesn't understand what is happening outside our gates. I'm having to fill in for a fallen angel, these battles are tedious and stupid. I'm just scared of whats going to come after or during this battle, my father is too fragile to fight, my brothers and sisters are fighting, coming home with scratches and bruises, they're all really good fighters, they're guards so they're trained to be fighting machines, to protect the angel's heart.

No one has seen it since 1000 years ago, it might not sound too long ago but trust me, it's a long time. "Sean, you need to get ready, we start the battle soon, give mom and dad a kiss goodbye and we'll leave," Simon says smiling at me, I can tell he's scared, you just can't see it.

I get ready into our fighting gear they provided me and walk downstairs, I quickly gobble up the food that was there and kiss mom and dad goodbye, hopefully not forever. "Be safe Sean" my mother said and kissed my head.

We walked out and met Malcolm, Susan, and Allison, my friends Robin and Signe are there too, they're my best friends and I don't want to lose them, or any one of my brothers and sisters, if they're in danger, I would gladly die for their safety.

"Sean?" Robin asks me as he walks towards me.

"I'm just scared and worried, that's all" I smile and I hug him and Signe, they go off with their families and I walk with mine.

"It's time Sean...you ready? and listen to me, if you see anyone in danger, do not! and I repeat do not try to be the hero" Malcolm says looking me dead in the eye. Tears escape my face and we all hug.

"Promise me, Sean!" Malcolm says sternly.

"I-I...I promise" I say and wipe my tears away.

"In formation! The gates will open soon and we want you to be ready!" the Captain said standing next to Signe and her family.

Robin and his family stood next to me and Signe next to Robin. The gates open and we see the demons waiting with weapons in their hands, "FIGHT!!!" the Captain shouts and everyone charges out of the gates, we all disperse and a demon charges at me, I flip over him and kick him behind his knee making him buckle, I do it to his other and he falls to the ground, I focus on just this guy. I am stupid. Someone comes around and knocks me out and stabs me in the arm, leg, cuts my face and chest. My vision blurs slightly. Mother fucker thought I'd be gone by now? Nah bitch.

I get back up and run and tackle him to the ground, I knock him out and scratch his face and stab into his heart, angels are supposed to be gentle and kind you say, not all the time. We fight constantly with Satan and his demons, he won't leave us alone, the times we were peaceful is when we still had a ruler, he died in his sleep, but he wasn't sick or elderly, everyone thinks Satan killed him. I believe some of it, not all but some. He was sleeping, Satan came and killed him, he wanted power, he wanted Heaven, but someone prevented it and banished him to the far depths of hell.

"Sean!" I hear Allison say, she runs towards me and jumps over me killing a demon that was running towards me. "Eyes on the field!" She said sternly and went around checking everyone and killing demons along the way.

I turn around to see Malcolm surrounded by demons, rule breaker about to break some rules, I run towards the hoard of demons and tackle the first one in line, it's like the domino effect, where one falls and so do the others, I see one of the demons get up and get ready to pierce through Malcolm, not today asshole, I push Malcolm away and the spear pierces through my chest, Malcolm kills the demons around us and rips the spear out of my chest.

I start to cough blood and he picks me up, he runs me back to the gates and rests me up against the wall, "Sean I told you not to be a fucking hero!" he says holding my face in his hands with tears threatening to slide.

"I couldn't...just watch, you die, Malcolm," I say lowly and hiss in pain as I try to move, my vision goes blurry from all the tears in my eyes.

"Sean!" I hear Allison, Susan, and Simon scream as they see me bleeding out and my white clothes staining with blood.

"I-I'm fine..." I breathe out and try to calm myself, I see Signe and Robin race over and kill the demons in their way or coming towards them and us.

"Sean, Sean, we can fix you, just hold still we can fix you," Malcolm says trying to look through the first aid Robin took from the front.

I put my now bloody hand on his and smile, "it's alright...just go, I'll be fine" I smile at him with tears rolling down my cheeks, I close my eyes and rest my head against the brick wall.

"No, Sean please, don't leave, no please Sean don't do this" Malcolm cries as he holds my face in his hands.

I smile and my eyes start to close, I can't hear anyone and my heart starts to soften its pace. Suddenly my eyes burst open and someone picks me up. It's Malcolm "if you're leaving us, then your only leaving Heaven, if your down at Earth, we can watch over you and make sure you're okay...just know that we love you, goodbye Sean..." Malcolm says tears spilling down his cheeks. You want to know how I know he has tears, is because the tears were spilling down on to me.

And with his last words to me, I felt my body become cold and naked, I was falling between Heaven and Earth.

A new life to be lived, my wings will have to be hidden, easy, I know how to hide them underneath my skin. New friends, a shorter life, even more, harder than a battle between angels and demons. I feel my body hit the ground and I don't remember much more beyond that, I was unconscious.
