The Alpha's Fallen Angel

Falling from Heaven

Celine's P.O.V.

"How did I get here?", this is the worst day if my existence. Michael really treated me so rudely and accused me of deserting my post, when I just did what he told me. My room suddenly feels so cold, like it is not even mine anymore.... (Memory flash back)

"Celine!! Are you there? Please open up, it's me", Michael knocked really hard on the door and sounded really impatient. Celine opened the door just as he was about to knock again. "Michael! Hi, sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone today, so I slept in." Celine looked at him sheepishly, feeling the need to explain her tardiness to open the door. "May I please come in?", he asked suddenly feeling like he is about to vomit.

"Sure, sorry. Are you ok? You look really pale?", As usual, Celine felt very protective of her closest friend. "I am good thanks, just didn't get any sleep last night. Listen, I know it is your first day off in along time, but I really need you to cover the western border for me in the next hour for about 6 hours or so.", he said trying to swallow the bile rising from his stomach. He hated doing his, he told Gabriel it wasn't right of fair. Why did he have send his best friend and the only other angel he loved in the way he loves her away. He turned away, being unable to face Celine, knowing what he is about to do.

"Yeah sure, I don't mind helping you out. You know I like spending time with you patrolling the borders." Celine said with a frown etched deep into her forehead. "Are you sure that you are ok? You really do not look well, and you are acting very strange," she pushed again, concern evident in her voice. "I will be fine, just really exhausted. The lack of sleep has me feeling a bit sick, but as soon as I have gotten a few hours sleep in, I will join you at the western borders," he answered while walking out of her house and with that he was gone. No goodbye, no see you later, no be careful, just …. gone. Celine decided not to dwell to long on it, and went to her room to freshen up and get ready to go on patrols like she was told to.

1 Hour later....

"Hey guys, what's going on? Why is no-one patrolling?" Celine asked with authority, as she was the highest ranking angel at the border post at the moment. But being the only female warrior angel with such a high rank, most of the male angels didn't really care much for her or what she had to say. " Just what we want to, there is nothing going on, no threats, so what is your problem? Aren't you supposed to be on leave or off or something?", one of the older angels asked with great disgust in his voice. "Michael asked me to come and patrol the western borders until he got back. Not that I need to explain myself to you." Celine angerly but sternly pointed out. Just then, one of the younger rookies got up, and offered to go with her. He almost looked like he was feeling embarrassed about the way the other angel to and about her. 

Celine and the young rooky started patrolling the western borders. All she could like about was what was wrong with Michael. He acted very strange and sounded really off. What had she done that could have offended him so much that he would act like that towards her. "Excuse me ma'am, why do we need to patrol the western borders, the intruders are targeting the northern borders?", the rooky asked, very hesitantly, not wanting to upset his senior even more then what she clearly is. "Michael gave me a explicate instruction that this border needs to be patrolled. It was my first off day in a very long time, but Michael knows he can trust me to do what is needed," she answered him with so much pride that the rooky could not help but smile and nod his understanding. "Wow, I actually can't believe that you get to speak to him in person. What is your name again, if you don't mind me asking?", the rooky asked, feeling more confident. "Celine, and yeah, he trained me, and we worked together for a very long, and have become really close friends. He was promoted to Arc Angel, and I was promoted to First Lieutenant, and since then I have not really taken a day off. It has been a few centuries since then. So when he makes time for a personal check in to give a direct instruction, I always do what I am told to." Celine spoke as if she was reminiscing about a romantic time that was long forgotten. "I wish I could meet his, or any of the Arc Angels, just once, you know, just to see if they really as big and tall and awesome as everyone makes them out to be." The rooky spoke in awe, almost tripping over his own feet. ….. (Flash back ends) 

All I did was exactly what he told me to do. Why would he place me under house arrest and charge me with insubordination. Why won't he even talk to that rooky that did the patrol with me yesterday? He didn't even show up like he promised. What did I do to him to deserve this? It feels like I was setup, but I just don't know why. The worst of it is, that he is insisting on the court marshal to happen tomorrow morning, first light. 

Michael's P.O.V.

"Gabriel, you can't be serious?! You can't send her down there, not to that place, she won't last one minute down there? You can't do this to her!!!" I swear if he is serious about this, I will rather fall from grace then see it her being torn apart down there. She won't last without me, we have always worked so well together, and we have become really close friends, though sometimes I wish I had the time to tell her how I really feel about her.

"When you are done ranting and raving, I will explain everything to you." O man, Gabriel always thinks he is in charge of everyone, just because he is second born, who now stands as first in line. We all know why, because our older brother, first born, just could not stand to do what he was told. And here I am, doing the same. But this is different, they weren't trying to send away the only other angel he ever loved, like are doing with me. "Michael, are you listening to me? Did you even here a word that I said?" Uuurrrggghhh, Gabriel just stop. "No, I didn't, because I am just not in the mood to hear this. She did nothing wrong, she always follows orders, and hardly takes time for herself. Hell, she has not even found her one true match yet! But you want to send her to earth? To do what? Be torn apart?"

"No Michael, just hear me out, please? When she was born, it was decided by Father and the Moon Goddess that when she is of age, and the time is right, she will be sent earth to the live she is destined for. She is meant to be with the Alpha King. It was written and so it shall be. But we can't just send her down there, she has to believe that was cast out, otherwise she will never sever her ties with you. For her to be successful at being a warrior and a queen, she needs to let you go. She needs to feel what a broken heart is. Her one true match is the Alpha King." …. "Michael...NO! DON'T!!! MICHAEL!!!" Wow, that felt good, it has been a long time since the last time I slugged my brother. But he is right, it was written and so it shall be. There is nothing I can do to stop this. "Fine, but I will be the one get this started, in person, not one of your lower ranking idiots. If she needs to feel what a broken heart is, I might as well break my own at the same time. But I will never stop loving her....EVER."

A little later that morning....

Her house looks so pristine and so much like her, beautiful. NO STOP IT MICHAEL!! How am I going to do this? I can't even knock on the door. But if I don't, Gabriel will send one of those i***t to do something else that might just get them hurt or killed. Ok, here goes nothing..."Celine!! Are you there? Please open up, it's me." I really hope she can forgive me for this one day...…

Celine's P.O.V.

Gabriel said he will see what he can do for me, he won't be able to get off the hook as Michael has too many so called eye witness's, but that he will try his best to get a lighter sentence for me. All I have to do, is just tell the truth, even though I can't prove anything. And no one knows who the rooky was that went patrolling with me, no one can find him. Maybe Michael got to him first, or maybe those guys from the border post got to him and threatened him when they heard about what is happening with me. No one here really likes me, very few people do, and just because I am one of the first few high ranking female warrior angels. 

I hardly had any sleep last night since I was arrested for treason and put under house arrest. My home doesn't feeling like home to me anymore. It feels cold and empty. Maybe I should try and get some sleep in, before they come to fetch me for my trial, though I don't even know what time it is anyway.

"Celine, are you awake? It's me, Gabriel. Can I come in?" O man, already? Geez Louise, I just want to get at least one hour's sleep in. "Yeah, come on in Gabriel, I am awake!!" Though I wish I was not here. "Hey, how are you holding up?" Wow, he looks like he actually really cares, he has never really taken time to get to know me, but yet he still looks worries and sounds like he really does care. "I am as ok as can be, considering I am being set up for treason, which I did not commit. I just don't know why Michael would do this to me? What did do to him?" O great, now I'm crying like a school girl who found out her biggest crush doesn't like her. Urgh, this is so not my day today.

"Hey, it's ok, please don't cry. I am sure he has a good reason for doing this. Besides, I could pull some strings, so you can get a fair trail. But I won't be able to represent you though. The deal is that you get a fair trail if I agreed to be judge and jury." Why are his eyes sparkling? Should I be worried? What is going on? O man, my head really hurts. This is just too much to take in, now I have lost everyone who could have helped me out of this mess. "Wow, that is a lot to take in. But thank you for letting me know in person. Guess it's better then being stabbed in the back." I really need to get myself some tissues, wiping my nose with my sleeve is so not looking good right now. But who cares, I am one judgement away from loosing everything I know, maybe even my life. 

" Are you ready kiddo? I need to go, but I have arranged for one my best warrior to take you to the hall and ensure that nothing happens to you on the way. He is a good guy, just  bit stiff nd well new. So he follows instructions to the T." I am not sure if I should thank him, or laugh at him. Was that some kind of low blow towards me? I hate this. "Why don't we play nice for now, huh?" "Wait who said that?" I am going crazy now too? "Umm, thank you Gabriel, that is very kind of you." Aaannnddd fake smile through the tears...nailed it. Good, he's leaving, now I can figure out who spoke to me? Clearly Gabriel didn't hear a word, so I hope I am not going crazy.

"Ok, who said that? Who is there? Come out or face the consequences." Good grieve, I really do sound crazy. "You're not crazy, you really heard me, but you just can't see me yet. But you will soon. For now, lets call me your conscience, ok?" Wow, ok, I think I have officially lost it. WHAT THE … WHAT OR WHO WAS THAT?! " Will you relax, like I said, you are not crazy, you will get to know me soon, for now, just act normal because you are normal. Well as normal as a hybrid like you can be." Huh? "I am a what?" Right, so now I calling myself names. 

"Ma'am, I don't mean to intrude, but it is time to go. Best we leave now while no one suspects us to be on the way. Less chance of anyone trying anything stupid. With you and me both, they might not survive." O...k... friendly for a stiff new guy. But hey, rather friendly then judging. "Thank you, and you can call me Celine. Though I am not sure I will be worth the fight." A small smile will hopefully make him turn around and walk outside. I hate the way he is looking at me. Sympathy was never something I have asked for from anyone. "Well then, let's get going. I will be right outside the door." And with that I am alone one last time. Time to say goodbye to everything I know.

A few minutes later...…

We're here, and so is just about every single angel in Heaven. Father, what I did do wrong? Please grant me this one wish to know what it is that brought this down upon me? I know He won't answer me right away, but maybe soon I will get His reply. "Ok, well here we are. I will stay with you right by your side the entire time Celine. No-one will come anywhere near you. I promise. Good luck with the trial." He actually looks like he means it. I think a hug will do to say thanks. "Thank you, you didn't have to do this you know. So really, thank you. I am not sure that I would have made it through this without anyone standing by me, even if it just to hold off the others." A hug actually feels really nice right now, and he is actually hugging me back. Think I just made a new friend. "Hey, what's your name?" O man, I just blurted that out... Idiot.... "My name is Luke, I use to be Luke Moonstar. But that was in another lifetime." Moonstar, wow, what cool second name. "Pleased to meet you Luke Moonstar." This time I give a real-all-teeth-showing-smile. 

Inside the great hall.....

There he is, my so called best friend and my betrayer, Michael, he won't even look at me. Luke and I had to fight through a group of 5 angels to get inside. It was the same group of male angels from the border post. All except the rooky. Where is he? Why won't he testify for me? "Good luck Celine, I am right here next to you if you need me. Ok?", good grieve, Luke just startled me right out of my thoughts. "Thank you Luke, you feel more like a friend to me then what Michael does right now," and I mean that, he does. I just wish he would stop looking at me with that look of 'you don't know this now, but it will be ok and someday you will understand' look in his eyes. It makes me miss Michael so much and it hurts deep in my heart. He broke into a million pieces. I need to concentrate on what is going on, otherwise I am going to break down and I never break down.

"Celine, you have been brought before the council for a fair trial as per the charges of treason brought against you by Arc Angel, Michael. How do you plead?", Wow Gabriel sounds so formal, and cold. But he did warm me that he had to chair the trial in order to give me a fair one. "I plead not guilty," I sound confident, but I don't confident. Well here goes....

"Michael, please present you case. Celine, you will have a chance to challenge any accusations and evidence being brought against you after Michael has presented his case," well, Michael won't even look at me, so guess I just nod and let him begin. "I am charging Celine with treason due to leaving her post and following instructions during a time where Heaven is under heavy attack. She was called upon on her off day to help out and patrol the northern borders to ensure non of the intruders break through. Celine was not at her post when I arrived at the northern borders. Intruders had broken through and we were under heavy attack. We lost three of our best warriors in the attack. After we secured the borders again, I started enquiring about the whereabouts of Celine. I was advised that she was seen by the western borders, walking about with a rooky. After questioning the rooky, it became evident that Celine deliberately disobeyed my instructions, due to being called in on her off day. She had asked the rooky to walk with her long the western borders and to cover for saying that I had told her to patrol those borders instead of the northern borders." He lied with his eyes wide open, though something in his voice makes it sound like he wants to vomit. No-one else might hear it, but I do. What is going on here. 

"Is the rooky present to testify to these allegations?," I don't see him, and if I do, I will rip him a new one. How can he just lie like that about me!! "No, he is not. He asked if he could rather give a written statement instead, out of fear for Celine. he has heard about her warrior skills and he knows what he rank is. He feels that should she attack him for telling me the truth, he will not be able to make out alive." WHAT THE ….. WHAT UTTER NONSENCE.!!!!! "Keep your cool Celine, you loose your cool now, they will banish you to hell." You again... But you are right, I need to stay calm, Gabriel can't help me if I loose my cool. "Celine, do you have any questions?," Ok, time to prove my innocents. "Yes, I do, thank you. Michael, on the day in question, you came to my house to ask me to patrol the western borders. Why did you not send one of your subordinates to pass on these instructions to me? Why did you send me to the western borders, when you knew the northern borders were under attack? Why are you doing this me?" Ok, now I am getting emotional, and I need to keep a clear head.

"I came to your house myself, as the subordinate that I sent there earlier said that you did not want to open up your door. When I arrived there you were still fast asleep. Yes, I know it was your day off, but the point is that you refused to get out of bed for a lower ranked warrior, but not when I knocked. I specifically told you to go to the northern borders and assist where there intruders that bridged the borders. You agreed to help out, and advised that I do not need to worry about anything, that you will meet me there." He can't even look at me when he lies, he knows he is lying. " And I am not doing anything to you, except bring you to justice for the treason that you have committed." Ok, now he going too far. "Celine, do you have any other questions," Gabriel looks almost sick, what is going on here? "No, Gabriel, I do not." I hope the sadness in my voice cuts Michael's heart wide open.

"Would you like to state your case?," really Gabriel, like anything I say can help me now. "No, thank you Gabriel, but I fear anything I say, will just do more damage then good." Maybe my tears will prove to Michael how broken I am right now, and all thanks to him. "Very well, we will take a 30 minute reses, after which I will pass my judgement. Luke, please Celine inside the great hall, I do want a repeat of the attack on her like earlier." Thanks Gabriel, because I don't think that I can walk right now anyway. "Yes Gabriel." O, he really sounds so formal when he speaks to Gabriel. maybe because he is new here.

30 Minutes later...…

"It is with great regret that I hereby find Celine, warrior angel, First Lieutenant of Michael's regiment, guilty of treason. After careful consideration, due to your good name and record here in Heaven, I have decided that you are sentenced to live out life on earth. You will not be stripped of you grace, but you your wings be taken. We don't want you to be torn apart, but we do not want you to be able to use your wings either. The less the humans see of you angel side, the better. You will be banished to earth with immediate effect. This is the final decision of the council." Speechless, that is what I am for the first time ever in my life, speechless. "You are all dismissed, except for Michael, Celine and Luke." Well at least I get to say goodbye to Luke, and look Michael in the eye one last time, so that he can see what he has done to me.

"Celine, I am so sorry, but at least you be defenseless, you will still have your grace to help you along with your amazing skills." Luke hugs me tight and I can 't help but to cry. "Thank you Luke, at least you care." As I turn around Gabriel is standing there with Michael. he looks from me to Michael and just sighs. "I am sorry Celine, the council wanted to banish you to hell, but I managed to talk them out of it. We will send you to a forest close to civilization, so that no-one sees an angel fall from heaven, but close enough for you to find shelter quickly. I need to take your wings now, it's going to hurt, but I will leave your grace with you." And with that, my wings are ripped from me, I feel so naked without them. Gabriel gives me a tight hug and whispers something in my ear, but I can't hear what it is, I am in too much pain. Michael just looks at me, tears filling his eyes and walks away. With that, I falling, falling from Heaven, falling to earth....

On Earth..... Celine's P.O.V.

O man, how long have I been laying here? My back hurts, my eyes are burning. Wait, where am I? It's so dark here, a lot of trees, which is nice I guess, no humans around that could have seen me fall. Ooo, a lake, I can wash my face. Ouch, it burns it 's cold. Why do I feel like I am being watched? I don't see anything in the tree line or in the water. Ok, time to leave and find some shelter. 

3 Hours later..... 

As Celine walks through the forest looking for shelter, she has a strong feeling that someone is watching her. She finally finds a cave, checks it to make sure there are no animals and finally sits down to gather her thoughts. She has no idea what the time is, no idea how long she has been on earth. All she remembers is seeing the look of final betrayal in Michael's eyes, tears forming in them and Michael finally walking away from her without a goodbye or even a reason why he betrayed her. Her body is sore and tired. All she wants to do was sleep, but she is to scared to sleep in the cave. The feeling of someone watching her is still with her and her senses are on high alert. 

Finally, she gives in to the exhaustion and closes her eyes, praying for her own safety. The voice in her head is gone. So now she is completely alone. With that thought, she falls asleep. … As light fills the cave, Celine startles awake, aware that there is a wolf sleeping in the entrance of the cave. It is so big, that she is sure it is not a normal wolf. Very slowly she gets up from where she was sleeping, tip-toeing as quietly as she can past the wolf and out of the cave entrance. As soon as she outside, she starts running as fast as she can, but she feels week and light headed. This is a new feeling for her, but decides to push on. If that wolf gets whiff of her smell, it will surely follow her and tear her apart. Any head start she can get is a better chance of her making it to safety.

Suddenly Celine hears a high pitched howl, and she can feel her heart racing in her chest. "O no, it's awake, I need somewhere to hide or at least climb to safety. I do not want to be wolf food, not now," is the only thing going through her mind. "Hey, up there, by that patch to the right," it's the voice in her head, it is back, and actually helping her. "Ok, I am really loosing my mind, but it can wait until I am safe." Celine pushes up the path and finds a small little cabin that looks abandoned. "Hallo!! Anyone home?! Please I need help, I am being chased by a huge wolf!! Please!!" Doesn't look like anyone is home. "Go inside, close the door and keep quiet, your shouting surely alerted the wolf to where we are." The voice says annoyed. "Hey, don't get cocky with me, you are the one that told go up the path. Why am I talking to my conscience anyway, it's not like your real, I am just going crazy. I blame Michael for this." Celine stomps her foot on the floor of the cabin.

She can hear the wolf howling in the distance, it is getting closer to the cabin. Within minutes, she can hear it growling at the door, while clawing at it. The wolf backs off, gives one last howl, and runs off. Celine plonks down on the cabin floor, sighing in relieve. With her head in her hands, she gains her composure and convinces herself to check out her surroundings. Her stomach starts rumbling, and she feels very weird. "Your hunger,  that sound is your stomach telling you that it wants food." The voice is so annoying. "How can I be hungry, I am an angel, we don't get hungry." Celine starts looking around, but feels light headed. "Your not Heaven anymore honey, your on earth, here you are as good as human, with super powers", it almost sounds like voice is kind of proud of that fact. Which part of it is not clear to Celine though.

Celine finally finds some canned food and something to open the cans with. After the fourth can of food, she puts down the spoon she found to eat with and wipes her mouth. "If that is what food tastes like, I would much rather starve. That was gross." rubbing her stomach as she speaks she felt good, but wasn't going to say that. "Your say it is gross, yet you ate four cans of food. I'd say you are being full of it, since your hungry has been satisfied." The voice was making fun of her now. But it was ok, at least she had something to eat, now she just needs a proper night's rest, then she will have enough energy to go out the next day to look for someone to help her. With that, she lays down on the bed and falls straight off to sleep. Her dreams are haunted by Michael and what happened in Heaven, and the friends she had to leave behind. The next morning she wakes up, feeling better, but not 100% rested. It was better then sleeping in the cave. She checks to see if she can see the wolf from the previous day before setting out again to find help. As she runs through the forest, she suddenly hears a loud growl. It was so loud and deep that she froze right there. Too scared to look around, she moves closer to a tree at the edge of a small pond. Across from the pond is a small hill that forms into a cliff. If only she had her wings, she could have flown away. But no, they had to rip it off. She will never forgive Michael for that. The growl came closer, almost right behind her now.
