Angel Monarch

It turns out the woman's body wasn't the only problem. Her mind probably broke on that roof, whatever happened it definitely left a scar much deeper than any wound on her body.

Bea was spending her free time watching over her. She didn't know why but felt responsible for her. And even a little afraid for her health.

'Why do I feel like this for someone I technically haven't even met? I don't know but it's...'

She couldn't finish her thought because suddenly a groan came from next to her. Bea nearly jumped out of her skin from the sudden noise. But then she turned toward the woman, her eyes were fluttering open. The color of her iris was unlike anyone's she ever saw, they were a magnificent golden color.

Her eyes focused on Bea who smiled at her. After a second, some awareness appeared in those bewitching eyes and in the next she began to move. She must have very overestimated her state, because instead of jumping out of the bed she couldn't even turn on her side.

After trying for a couple of seconds she finally gave up, and something very different appeared there. Instead of the dermination and will to fight, there was only acceptance, sadness and fear.

It broke Bea's heart to see the change and she was reminded of where they found her, on a roof in an ocean of blood.

'What happened there before they arrived? Knowing Nightmare and his gang it must have been horrible.'

Then she heard the beautiful woman's voice and what she said broke her heart even further.

"Please... Please just kill me... Please... I don't want to be raped..."

Her voice was very hoarse, because she was in a coma for weeks. And she began crying as she asked to be killed, instead of suffer. Bea started to become very angry at that patrol and whished she could kill them, but much more slowly.

She got her anger under control when she realized it would increase the girls fear even more. Instead Bea gave her the most sincere smile she could muster.

"I think we began on the wrong foot my name is Bea. What's your name?"

The girl didn't belive her, Bea knew it but after a couple of minutes answered her question. In barely a whisper she said "Seraphine".

"Seraphine, what a beautiful name? How old are you Seraphine?"

"18"

'18 years old... And already so hurt by this world...'

"Where are you from Seraphine?"

She looked into Bea's eyes and said the one thing she was afraid of hearing.

"Newber-City"

'Fuck, she actually survived the destruction.'

Bea was very stunned by that answer and that seemed to take some of the tension away from Seraphine's eyes.

"Can I ask a personal question?"

"Weren't you asking them all this time?"

Bea took that as a good sign and asked the question she was dying to know.

"How did you survive the Newber Destruction? We saw the corpse of the city and the actual corpses of people, none could've survived that."

She didn't realize her mistake until it was too late. Suddenly anger appeared in Seraphine's mesmerizing eyes. One second she was lying in bed, the next two incredibly beautiful pair of angelic wings appeared out of nowhere.

When Bea realized that Seraphine transformed it was already too late. She was pinned to the wall. Seraphine's face was centimeters away from hers and her eyes were full of pure rage.

"You fucking asshole! You saw my city getting destroyed, the city where all my friends died, where my parents died, where every single person I knew died and still dare to ask how I survived? Who the fuck do you think you are?"

Instead of answering her question she only said: "I'm sorry for your loss."

Bea made a gamble with saying that but after a second she realized it was the right thing to say. Seraphine stopped pressing her against the wall and fell down on her knees crying.

Looking down at her she decided to make another gamble and hugged her. Seraphine didn't care about it and just cried for minutes. After finally stopping, Bea released her from the hug and looked into her eyes, they were so sad and red from all the crying.

She sniffed once and then said: "You know Bea, I'm the only survivor of Newber. I was making my way to Castleburg and found people. But imagine the first person you meet after losing everyone in your life tries to rape you. How would you feel?"

She began crying again and Bea hugged her again.

"It's going to be alright. No one will hurt you here." Said Bea while trying to hold back her own tears.

She couldn't imagine how it would feel like to lose everyone and the first person you meet try to do horrible things to you. Yeah, she lost a lot of people including her family at Copen, but she still had other people to rely on.

So she decided that from today on Seraphine will have people to rely on.

The sound of crying decreased, until it stopped and her breathing became even. She fell asleep in Bea's arms. With a sigh she rose and put Seraphine back in her bed, those breathtaking wings were nowhere to be seen.

Bea sat next to the bed for over an hour thinking about nothing and just watching Seraphine sleep.

'I should probably tell the others about this meeting.'

But looking at her she was reluctant to leave. Right before deciding to get up, the infirmary doors snapped open and Lucy ran in.

"Oh Lucy, I was just about to find you..."

She fell silent after seeing Lucy's face full of anger and fear.

"What happened?"

"It's Nightmare and his servants, they are coming to teach us a lesson. Those fucks think we killed their patrol. He even sent Deathbringer."

"Shit, when do they arrive and how many?

"If they take the fastest route they will be here by dawn tomorrow as for how many I think it's about seventy personal 10 Evolved and 60 regular. But Deathbringer is worth all that put together."

The situation seemed pretty much hopeless. They couldn't take on that many in an ambush, but then she remembered something. Bea turned to the bed where Seraphine was sleeping and laughed.

"Does fools don't know we have an ace up our sleeve."
