THE FORSAKEN ANGEL

Episode 34-Helping Damian

Angelique hastily walked back with the claws in her hand but she didn't meet Damian where she had left him so she decided to look for him somewhere else then she saw a group of student gathered in front of a particular section of the school which she figured was a school clinic passing through the crowd she realized the boy's colour was slowly changing to purple, once it completely turn...his heart will stop....it made her really mad, his eyes fell on Andrea who wear the same worried look on her face, Angelique know just what to do so...she walked past the crowd again as doctors attended to Damian, they were getting ready to shift him to a proper hospital. This was her chance she thought, the students were distracted so she could assure herself safety while she tried to force herself into slumber.

Finding the most quiet place she could which turns out to be the library, she walked into the array of books and chose a nice spot to lay the girls body as she forced her consciousness to sleep, it didn't take much time before she opened her eyes in the space her mother created for her in the girls mind, then she concentrated her energy into drawing her sister out of her own consciousness but she has been pretty much learning how to fight her...but she needed her more than ever...putting more energy into the task made her bled, and she knew it was going to affect the body she was put in as well but she really didn't pay much attention to it because her sister found herself right in front of her with a concealed frown on her face.

"There isn't much time to waste, right now the boy name Damian has been poisoned and has just few minutes left, I've got the claws of the demon that poisoned him but the only person who can make the poison is-

"A family member of the Prasinos, Zoa and a normal physician" Helen filled in almost immediately while her expression slowly dissolved.

"There isn't much time" Angelique told her but then Angela noticed her bleeding nose.

"Are you alright?" Helen questioned and she brushed it off sending Helen right back to her consciousness with a push of her hand but she was too weak to take control of Crystal's body anymore, then she slowly fall asleep.

Crystal woke up with a storming headache and she was shocked to realize where she found herself, what was she even doing in the library, she mentally questioned herself as she raised herself to her feet ready to leave butt then she found something in her hand...claws? She freaked out and dropped them in shock before running out of the library to look for Damian after recalling she was poisoned. After returning back to the empty cafeteria, she didn't find anyone but the sound of the ambulance caught her attention and she immediately ran for it, she saw them wheeling Damian out while trying to put everyone away from him, since they have no idea what was up with him.

They put everyone behind a do not cross line in an attempt to quarantine the whole school and see if any other people was affected since they claim it was a virus. Crystal tried to fight her way through but the doctors who were in preventive kit, an overall that covered them from head to toe, Crystal could have made a scene if she didn't see Angela standing not to far from the line and all of a sudden she was gone, just as soon as someone passes and obstruct her from Crystal. Crystal gave up trying to get out of the line and started to look around for Angela but was stopped by someone instead.

A girl with a round chubby face, she was short and slender and had her ruby hair in Bob but with fringes.

"Hello" she greeted politely.

"Do I know you?" Crystal asked but not too politely, she just wanted to be free from the strange girl but then two other people appeared, a guy and a boy who was dressed in a way that was definitely not from her world.

"Who are you people?" Crystal inquired.

"We mean you no harm" The second girl that has appeared that had green strands of hair and a lot of eye-shadow lacing her green eyes voiced.

"Then what are you-

"They are here with me" Helen appeared out of nowhere and slowly walked up to her.

"You are...Crystal, right?" Helen asked and Crystal instantly throw her a black look in question.

"I just want to be certain your body isn't controlled by my sister right now...Andrea told me you've been acting strangely" Helen explained.

"She did take control of me...I woke up to find myself in the library...you have to get her out of me-

"Believe me, it's not that easy. We're trying...and thank God she did because she alerted me of the trouble you face, why would the demons poison Damian?" Helen asked but Crystal wore a sullen look.

"That's not important right now, the most important thing is we are here to make an antidote but we need the claws my sister manage to retrieve from those demons that are responsible-

"Wait? What?" Crystal interjected with a sounding a little confused.

"When my sister communicated with me, she said she has retrieved the claws of those demons and Damian doesn't have much time. I can't get into details but I need those claws...we don't have much time left Crystal, these three people here are my friends and they are very powerful angels that their aura would draw Demons to you...our combination here is terrible but I have no choice because we have to save Damian now I need those claws" Helen explained with clenched Jaws.

"They were in my hands when I woke up actually, but I dropped them because I was so shocked...they'll be in the library" Crystal filled in and Helen said just about to head towards the library.

"Wait" The guy that had came with them voiced while blinking repeatedly.

"They are here-

"Who?" Crystal chipped in.

"About 20 demons...they are closing in and more are still coming" The guy relayed glancing up at Helen who immediately wear a worried look.

"Andrea" Helen called the new girl who had just joined them.

"You will have to take Crystal out of here immediately we found the claws-

"I'm not leaving you" Crystal frowned.

"You're vulnerable here and it's my duty to protect you...I can't let anything happen to you...please follow Andrea out of here, we'll deal with the demons. You hear me?" Helen assured and Crystal agreed reluctantly before leading all of them to the library to find the claws which was later found after some minutes of search.

"I'll deal with the demons, you guys make the antidote, Crystal it's time for you to leave-

"The three of them...who is going to help you fend them off?" Crystal worried.

"You really underestimate me Crystal" Helen smiled but after Crystal smiled with assurance the windows shattered and shelves in the library fell by before the shattered glass could harm Crystal, Helen spread her wings and covered her up before the glasses it and by the time Crystal opened her the eyes she has no idea she closed she found herself staring at Helen who was now smiling at her with white feathery thing all around her.

"Don't get get seen, find a save place and get down" Helen instructed and pushed Helen to the middle of the other shelves standing.

"Rose, Ruby...any luck?"

"I've extracted what I need in the claws...I found a flower plant not so far from here, I need to grow the roots and shrubs I need could you please get it?" The one which Crystal assume was Rose questioned and Helen nodded using the water she controlled from a close bottle to move the flower pot to Rose who nodded and immediately set to work but Crystal had no idea what she was going to do with it still.

"What are you still waiting for? Go" Helen urged Andrea who still stood looking a little terrified but was immediately drawn into the dark corner by Crystal by pulling her hand.

Helen watched as Helen's eyes slowly changed and her hair slowly bleach out leaving white...a sudden c***k of thunder that flew right through the library window and struck about three demons made her jump from the corner that she was, making a little squeak escape from her and leading to her squirming deeper into the shelves she'd hidden with Andrea but she could still watch Helen where she stood.

She saw her hands raised and about seven demons frozen in place and she did the unspeakable, as she roll and twist her hands it was obvious she was doing something and she had no idea what it was until the hearts of the demons attacking her forced its way our of their chest leaving them leaving them bleeding. But then one fo the Angels shouted nooo but it was too late as Helen collapsed after what she did and before the other demons attacked the guy among them ran to stop the attack of one demon who blood lacing his lips.

The hand of the man hang right in air before she could land the claws on the guy but everything had slowed down.

"Morgan what did you do?" Ruby demanded as she walked up to him but she also has no idea.

"I don't know....but I felt my Phoenix back...have you made the antidote" Morgan asked raising Helen into his arms.

"Yes, but why would Helen use that technique? She can't even control her powers yet" Rose joined them with a purple vial in her hands.

"Well she's leaning every day, we have to get her out of this place but can you stop this?" Ruby asked and Morgan sighed.

"My Phoenix spirit said it takes maximum concentration, I have no idea I could will time to my use...only my other family members have been able to do that...I have never been able to utter time, all I can do is see the future" Morgan sound terrified of his power and Crystal was kinda worried.

"Let's get the antidote to the boy, but we'd have to find him first-

"He'll be at the state hospital" Crystal immediately come out of her hiding place but Andrea was still fixed in place.

"Maybe he time stopping is a good thing, Damian is dying" Crystal worried.

"Let's get going then, Morgan...return the princess home, Ruby and I will deal with the rest" Rose said stepping forward and growing a huge gigantic plant out of the flower pot was immediately picking off the demons one by one.

"Thank you for your service" Rose smiled at the plant and watch it rot away after it was done.

"Think of how to stop this right after we save the boy" Ruby met Morgan's eyes and he nodded in understanding.

"Now let's go" The two said grabbing Crystal hands. One by each before they let out their wings and leaped into the sky earning a scream from Crystal, it took quite a while before she stopped really...it was from up the sky that they realized that time has been stopped across the whole city, this isn't good.

"We have to save the boy quickly...this could upset the balance" Ruby shout over the air so she could successfully communicate with Rose.

"What balance?" Crystal got curious.

"Balance of life...bad things tends to happen when time is altered" Rose muttered her response.
