The Fallen Rebellion

Darkness was all I saw. I knew something was wrong. I couldn't wake up. I needed to get back. I just didn't know how.

Images kept playing in my head. The cave with my love and his brother. The sight of both of them with their wings. The trip to Greece. Then darkness.

Sam. I need to get back to Sam. Now, he needs me I know it.

Slowly I could feel my eyes opening.

The rain was letting up. After days of being in Greece, after. . . she. . .had fallen. . . It was all the Earth could seem to do here. But I tried not to notice it to much. I still had a job to do. I sighed and headed back inside the warehouse, where the sound of a screaming man came to my ears.
"Please. I-I-I don't know anything, I'm jus'. . .AHH!" He screamed louder still as I watched the long knife go in deeper, each barb adding more torn flesh to his body.
I set a hand on his shoulder. "Vince." I breathed. "3 days under torture is long under any demons trust. I don't think he knows anything. KIll him already." Vince nodded and sighed, turning back towards me he said, "You do it. I can't stand to look at him anymore." He spat at the man and walked away.
"Habitus validus in volo" I said. I felt my wings come forth, chattering and happy. I opened my hand and my sword was there. "By divine right, and the winged. . ."
"No!" He screamed, he started to cry. "I don't wanna. . ."
"Unless you have information. . ." I said
"I do I do!" He breathed in deep and cried more. "I know why, Good and evil have never gotten one over the other." He said.
"Start talking."

Sam, where are you?

I sat up slowly and looked around.

Where am I?

I didn't recognize the room I was in. Everything was a blinding white. The walls were bare, the dresser across the room held a vase of white roses. The windows were covered with white blinds. My eyes shifted around the room and rested on the opening of the door just across from the bed.

Sam!

What I saw wasn't Sam. A small blonde haired boy passed through the door. He didn't look much older than eleven. He was short and skinny. His blonde hair was short and messy. His eyes were a pale, ice blue.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"My name is Elijah. You can call me Eli though. I was asked to keep an eye on you," he said, a small childlike smile on his face.

"Where's Sam?"

I didn't know if the information I just gotten was reliable, demons hardly told the truth. But, since we didn't have anything else, we needed something. As I made my way back to the camp we had setup, the sun was getting ready to set. I can let the blinds down. . . Full moon tonight too, I think she'd like that I thought to myself. I shook my head. I kept doing that. I kept making it sound like she was still awake.
I nodded to Mike at the door, he knew that I would not talk about what I had learned until I had gone in to see Rosaline. Hand on the door knob I heard Eli. He may be old, but his body still screamed child, so even when he tried to be quiet he was loud.
"Eli? Who're you talking to? Shouldn't you be watching. . ." I'd walked into her room, this time she was awake. My sword and daggers dropped. "Rosaline." I whispered, it had been so long since I had said it. I dropped to my knees and hugged her. "Rose, you came back to me."

I started crying in Sam's arms. It had been so long since I had felt his embrace. His warmth enveloped me like an old blanket. I was finally back where I belonged.

"Sam I missed you so much," I choked out between sobs. "I just kept thinking 'I have to get back to Sam. He needs me.' I was so scared I would never see you again."

I held her cheeks in my hands, I kissed her hard, then stared back at her, my forehead against hers. "What happened?"

Aphrodite · #7 (**permalink**) 10-17-2010, 06:50 PM

I was crying so hard I was shaking. I didn't know what had happened. I wasn't sure why I had collapsed and blacked out for so long. I just didn't understand.

"I don't know. I really don't Sam. I'm just so happy to be back in your arms."

Apollo · #8 (**permalink**) 10-18-2010, 07:49 AM

"it doersn't matter." I said, I took her back in my arms, tears almost coming out. "You're back, you came back and you're here."
"Sam you're so happy." I turned to see Eli still sitting there and I laughed a little bit. I gave him a nod.
"Can you give us a minute, let Mike and Vince know too?" He smiled back and headed out. All I oculd keep saying was thank god, but I have a feeling it wasn't him.

I curled up tight in Sam's arms and let his embrace comfort me. I stopped shaking and relaxed in his arms. The tears slowed and I looked up into his eyes.

"Why did you send Eli away? I actually kinda like him."

Apollo · #10 (**permalink**) 10-30-2010, 08:31 PM

"Because I wanted this." I stated, I looked down at her, face buried in my chest and eyes a little blurry. "You and me together again. . . I wanted it to be just us for a little bit." I brought her closer again and just sat there, playing with her hair and trying to tell myself this was real. We're not goiing to have much time now so I want to make this count. . .
