THE FORSAKEN ANGEL

Episode 23-Leaving Everyone Edgy.

Helen wouldn't stop paving after abandoning Crystal thinking them leaving her would draw Demons away from her but no demons came after them she got extremely worried.

"Will you just relax she's going to be fine?" Pearl tried to calm her down in her own way but she got snapped for it.

"How on earth am I supposed to calm down when I'm feeling I might have left her to die" Helen snapped angrily making everyone sitting with them in the sitting room with the same edgy look make an attempt to calm Helen down but she doesn't look like she wanted to calm down.

Since they arrived back at the base she had been like that, angry and bitter. She had taken her anger out on literally everyone in the base except her mate who was now upset after snapping at Pearl. Morgan's inability to tell where and how Pearl is made everything worse for Helen and she felt horrible for abandoning Crystal again.

"It was your fault, we could have waited and do something" Helen muttered under her breath blaming Pearl for their inability to protect Crystal.

"Yes it was my fault for trying to protect you. Mia told you the same why can't you blame her as well?" From Pearl's tone it was obvious she was also upset with Helen.

"Yeah, I blame-

"Helen!" Alex snapped angrily at Helen who flinched at the loud call of her name by no one but her mate.

Alex grabbed her by the hand and led her up the stairs.

"You need to calm down!" Alex gritted trying not to raise his voice at her again as he instantly slammed her back to the door after he had close it.

I

"I'm trying to" Helen muttered apprehensively.

"Try harder" Alex insisted and Helen sighed heavily.

"You are exhausted and tired...you need some rest" Upon saying that, Alex lifted her into his arms and moved her to the bed where he immediately placed her after removing her gown and leaving her in nothing but her underwear.

"Now get some sleep...please" Alex pleaded and Helen nodded but patted the space next to her for Alex to join her. Alex get rid of his shirt and immediately climbed on the bed right next to Helen who snuggled next close to him and placed her head on his chest and willed herself to sleep.

Alex watched her fall asleep, his eyes tracing her beautifully sculptured still finding it hard to believe such a perfectly made woman was his, his hands brush off few strands of hair off her face and she watched as she leant to his touch, the spark of electricity between their touches have heightened over the last couple of days, all of them could feel the mating season drawing closer and closer. Alex sighed softly and sink his head into the pillow he had tested his head into.

But then, Helen started to sweat, fisting his shirt as she struggled and whimpered lightly.

"Helen" Alex shook her carefully but Helen refused to wake up driving Alex to panic.

Not so long after Helen fall asleep, she was drawn out of her subconsciousness by her sister who seems to be in shock about something.

"What is it?" Helen asked wanting to leave already as she really needed her rest.

"I'm in the body of a girl...a human girl I suppose" Angelique told her and Helen froze shocked by her revelation. She's a tall slender girl, probably human and couldn't be more than 18 year old, she has a warm beige skin tone, prominent ocean blue eyes. She has a chocolate cherry straight hair that reached her mid-back, thick fringes and thin brows.

"Are you sure about this?" Helen interrogated. While studying her sister's expression.

"I know what I saw, I don't where she is but she's human, I can't believe my mother trapped me inside the body of an human child, if she dies I die...she knew better than that what in Aegues name was she thinking" Helen was quite and this had Angela slowly turning to her.

"You knew" Helen's heart dropped to the the deepest pit of her stomach.

"You knew didn't you?" Angelique stood from the corner she had sat with her hands wrapped around her legs which was heavily covered by the white garment she was swearing.

"What are you talking about?" Helen tried to fake clueless but her nervousness was giving her away.

"You knew about the vessel I was in, that day you came here on your own by accident, I'm assuming you met the girl and that day I asked for you to save me, I'm assuming you did as well...you knew all along-

"I...I-

"How could you know and stand still, you knew how I was trapped how could you!" Angelique raved choking Helen until she was red and pleading for her to stop.

"Mother is dying" Helen managed to say after Angelique release her.

"Like father she was also poisoned, she was carrying a child, that's why she had weakened but now more than ever. She's at her weakest state-

"That's why my consciousness was briefly returned, because mothers life is at stake" Angelique frowned. She hate her mother but wanting her death wasn't something she could do, she didn't want her to die.

"The girl was almost taken by demons yesterday-

"I knew it, mother gave us an order to guard her, and you until we can figure a way to let you out-

"Why isn't she doing it herself?" Angelique frowned and Helen paused for a minute.

"Like I said, she's poisoned she's weak right now and she was pregnant so she can't-

"No, it's way more than that I'm sure. Mother is far too powerful for a poison or child birth to suck her aura. Something is going on and I can feel it. What aren't you telling me?" Angelique looked up into Helen's face with an interrogating gaze that seem to be intensely trying to search her mind.

"Mother asked you to guide the vessel I'm in? That's strange, it's the strangest order mother could give if mother ask you to guard me, Angels or demons must have figured out-

"No, no one has figured out" Helen instantly retorted.

"Then what is it? What is it you're not telling me Angela? You're keeping something from me, do you possibly think you not telling me will stop me from knowing, I saw the girl I was in yesterday, it wasn't for me we'd both be dead-

"We left because we didn't what to draw Demons to you, they were after us" Helen froze realising what she had just said.

"Demons were after you Helen? Why would they ever think of going after a royal Angel? That's suicide" Angelique narrowed her face but Helen looked away.

"It's way more than that...what is going on!?" Angelique screamed at Helen in frustration making her instinctively cover her ears as her scream echoed loudly hurting her ears and before Angelique could torture the answer out of her she was revived. She was soaked in her own sweat and her hair glued tightly around her forehead, cheeks and chin. Tears were seemingly escaping her eyes and her body was shaking tremendously making it impossible for her to hold the cup of water someone had hold out for her so Alex brought it to her mouth and have her gulped it down slowly in an attempt to calm her down.

Helen started sob and Alex instantly pulled her into his chest in a warm embrace to soothe and calm her.

"Anytime she's like that, just prick her finger with a needle, that way she will find her way into consciousness" That voice, Helen thought instantly turning towards the direction of Lily. Helen sprouted to her feet and ran to give her a warm hug.

"You're back" Helen exclaimed hugging her warmly.

"Yeah I am, took a while though. What's going on with you and the princess?" Lily asked casually and Helen turned towards Alex who was guilty to have told Lily but he needed to in order to help her, Helen didn't scold him though, she just looked away.

"She knows, she has figured the body she was trapped in and she knew I knew about it. She's outraged, she's starting to ask questions, sooner or later she's going to figure out what's happening-

"I don't know what to do" Helen confessed and Lily sighed.

"Tell her if she's curious-

"But mom said we shouldn't let her know about the war, she might not want to help" Helen hesitated.

"The queen said that not because she might not want to help, the princess is a warrior and would fight for whatever is right? She isn't heartless but the queen's plan is to have Princess Angelique claim her body and run for Angel Bay for revenge on her, she's powerful enough to outtake everything. She didn't want to be involved, and for Princess Angelique to get her revenge she will have to stop Vera first but I doubt that plan is going to work now. You have to return the princess consciousness to her, beg her and have her come to aid. Only then can Angel Bay be saved, she's been forsaken for far too long...getting her to help might be a difficult task" Lily voiced her opinions and Helen got even more confused.
