"Home..." Celeste whimpered, writhing painfully on the ground. Her leg was pulled out of the joint and her wing was broken and twisted. If she tried to move, agonizing lightning shot down through her body. Somehow though, the demon Queen came over. She told Celeste to go, setting her free. Had Kitra finally realized that she was useless? No, she was just using Celeste to get Lilim to safety. No doubt once Celeste thought she was finally free, Kitra would find her and drag her back. "Can't... move." Celeste whimpered but Kitra wasn't listening, she left Lilim beside her and then took off in search of someone to fight. "Celty!" Mizuki was there, she grabbed Celeste, pulling her into a hug. The young angel cried out in pain and Mizuki loosened her grip. "Oh Celeste," she saw the broken wing, the blood, the dirt, and had to stop herself from crying. "Home?" Celeste questioned and Mizuki nodded. "Yes, we're going home."
In that moment, Celeste passed out. Mizuki gathered her sister in her arms and an angel soldier picked up Lilim. "Don't worry, you're going home, we'll fix you." The rest of the battle, as they say, was history. Heaven's gate closed and for the first time in history, three demons were on angel territory. Mizuki carried Celeste, Raphael Lilim, and Cambion Kitra. "You'll be returning her home soon I presume?" Gabriel asked quietly as they passed. "Yes," Mizuki confirmed. "Celeste has no place in this battle." Witht that they took off, having to leave their brother, Michael behind. He could handle himself though, no doubt with the news that his sister was free, he would break out and return home with Ami and Fin in tow. "Michi," Celeste whimpered in her sleep.
The angel awoke next laying on her stomach, tied down. She screamed and struggled against the bonds, believing everything to be a far too sweet dream. "No, no! I was so close"! Celeste was clearly panicked. Someone ran in, there were tubes sticking out of her back, where her missing wing was. "Princess! Please don't move around like that, you'll injure yourself!" Celeste didn't listen though, she didn't want to be tied down like this and used an experiment for the vampires again. "Let me go!" She screamed, her voice feeling hoarse already. Someone else came in, someone tall in strong, blonde hair half braided, half down, her dress swishing like a set of their own wings around her. "Celeste," the girl could feel it, the eyes on her, a blue or purple that changed depending on her mood. A woman that could be as violent as a storm or as loving as a cloud.
"Mommy," Celeste felt tears prick her eyes. Her mother undid the binds, taking the girl into her arms. "It's okay, you're with me now." She stroked her hair, soothing her daughter. "We're trying to regrow your wing, isn't that what you want? To fly again?" Celeste nodded. "Are we home? Can I see Dad?" Callisto shook her head. "No, we're at the rebel base in the north." Celeste could see a window then, she had assumed white curtains had been drawn but the opposite was true, there was a blizzard outside. They were in the mountains, the farthest point of heaven from the capitol. "Look at that, I can already see your feathers getting their shine back." Her mother was warm like the sun, she had a protective grip on her daughter, being careful not to disrupt the tubes and medicine. "You're anemic, your light levels had plummeted so much the doctors were afraid you wouldn't come back."
"How long have I been asleep for?" Celeste inquired. "Two days, you were in such a fit they had to tie you down." Two others ran in, smothering their little sister with hugs. "Celeste!" Mizuki had tears in her eyes, Raphael was holding something. "I found her on the battle field." He handed Aries to her, the stuffed rabbit that had been her friend all throughout her lonely childhood. "What happened to the others?" Celeste asked, hugging the rabbit to her. "Gabriel returned to Father's side, Michael is still in custody of the demons, Lilm and Cambion have joined our side and the demon queen is our captive." Celeste's eyes widened quite a bit at that. "Kitra is here?" Their expressions darkened. "Yes, but don't concern yourself with her." Celeste looked at her lap, twisting the fabric of the hospital gown in her hands. "She saved me a few times," Celeste admitted. "But she hurt you even more and for that, she'll never be forgiven."
