Snippet #2090342

I crawled along in the shadows, careful to stay a safe distance away, and followed the injured Angel to his small sleeping space in the rubble. As he went inside, without checking the surrounding area first, silly mistake she observed.

I don't want to hurt him I told myself, Just want him to be healed enough so he'll be entertaining to follow

As she neared the entrance, she heard a noise in the distance. She turned her head towards the noise, flexed out her wings and pushed up with just enough power so she could glide on the wind currents going the direction the noise came from. Flapping her black wings, she stayed still in the air for a bit, listening for the noise again, then changing her course and ended on top of some rubble and looked down at the scene.

There were 7 people huddled around a small fire, 2 males, 3 females, and a young child. The 2 males were still holding onto the body, and one of the females looked distraught. The body was the girl from earlier. So she had a company to come back to...

It was obviously the distraught female's cries that had caught my attention. She looked similar to the dead girl, some form of relative?

"Be quiet, we don't want to attract attention to us, do we??" The elder man hissed in a gruff voice, "Calm down, okay? We'll do some sort of burial for her and move in the morning"

Too late I though when he said the 'attract attention' part, he was the leader of the group, that much was clear.

"He's right, she must be in a better place than this now anyway" The other female told the distraught one in a calm, soothing voice

The distraught female nodded and started to calm herself down

Now this seems more interesting than the injured Angel at the moment I smiled inwardly Now to watch this unfurl and see how much chaos I can cause Smirking I stalked across to a place hidden in shadows, sat down and watched this new drama unfurl.
