The Forsaken Angel

Episode 56

........

After they rescued Crystal and was called when she woke up, Helen used the opportunity to introduce her to the queen but was quite surprised by Crystal's reaction though the queen looked rather calm about it and didn't say much.

"Crystal is something wrong?" Helen asked turning to meet her eyes that kept dancing in confusion and fear.

"My mom won't hurt you" Helen assured but Crystal was not convinced.

"She hurt Angelique, how the f**k am I supposed to trust her?" She retorted glaring at the queen in total distaste.

"You must have gotten into my sister's memory...did she you everything or only that part where mom removed her soul?" Crystal didn't expect Helen to know about that but what's there not to know, Angelique could even communicate to her in her sleep...it's just right she knows.

"I've seen into my sisters memories Angelique and both are at fault, my mom...and my sister" Helen didn't mind the queen presence as she talked and the queen didn't mind either in fact she find the young girl amusing and kept smiling.

"You have?" Crystal asked and Helen smiled.

"Yes, I have...I know my mom removed her soul...but that was because she was so angry that she froze the entire city the only people that were able to stop her were my mother and father" Helen's explanation had Crystal looking at the queen again.

"But why was she so mad in the first place?" Crystal further interrogated.

"Because her child and mate were killed...but not by my parents" Helen smiled but the queen was looking rather distracted this time, she had zone out and was full of thoughts as she watch Helen reasoned with Crystal for acting strange.

"I'm sorry...I just, I just feel so sorry for your sister" Crystal confessed and Helen smiled.

"Me too" Helen smiled before she brought her forward to the queen.

"Mother, Crystal is the new friend we made...you have us look for her and we eventually found her, she can be a hothead but she's a nice kid-

"A nice kid...how old are you?" Crystal laughed.

"I'm 22 but will be 23 this year" Helen smiled and Crystal's eyes bulged in surprise.

"I have chosen a nice shell for my oldest daughter, I chose well" Crystal frowned at her terms and Helen bite down on her lower lip afraid the queen might have used an old term.

"Mother we don't address her by that, I apologize about that Crystal...she can be a little old fashioned. She's pretty old-

"I'm just three hundred" Crystal gasped out on hearing what the queen said while Helen and few members of resistance laughed.

"Their kind don't have that long of a lifespan mom" Helen reminded and the queen pouted in realization.

"I see" The queen smiled while giving Crystal a faint smile.

"How old is your sister?" Everyone froze by the question because Angelique was pretty old, older than all of them.

"My mom had her when she was around 40...she's probably around 270...she's the oldest" Crystal's jaw dropped but hide her surprise.

"It's really nice to meet you queen..." Crystal paused not knowing the name to address the queen.

"Angelite" The queen completed for her and she gave a wry smile in response.

"I believe you've met most of my group, you've met my mate...I mean boyfriend-

"Just call him mate, Angelique told me all about it" Crystal shrugged with a smug expression on her face; she was pretty contented by the fact that she knew so much about the angels...it was pretty different from what she learnt in Bible school but she was willing to go along with it.

"This is Garnet" Helen pointed to Garnet who was sitting at the closest sofa to Helen and Crystal. Garnet was muscler and built more than anyone in the group so Crystal quickly picked his appearance.

"What can Garnet do?" Crystal got curious.

"Well-" Helen paused wondering if it was proper to show her that much but everyone shrugged indifferently in a way that announced that they don't mind.

"He control earth...meaning sand, rocks" Helen explained and Crystal smiled.

"Cool, can I see you do that?" Crystal requested and Garnet met her eyes as well as the queen's seeking permission to show his abilities and they all gave him a go ahead. They knew they have to win Crystal over before they tell her the whole deal because whole she was asleep; what she they were all talking about was how they were going to remove Angelique's soul from Crystal, she ahs to be willing because the process could be pretty painful.

Garnet walked outside and control few rocks to float making Crystal exclaim.

"This is Amber, Garnet's mate" Helen further introduced pointing to the girl with wavy Havana brown hair, midnight blue eyes warm ivory skin, heart shape face with small heart shaped lips...she was of average height and weight and it made Crystal wonder how old she is.

"She's from the Aaero family which means she can will air to her command" Amber smiled and control hair to roll around Crystal floating her air for a while before she watched the wave disappear into the atmosphere.

"I'm sure you've met Morgan, he's an angel of time" Helen pointed to Morgan who had his hand folded as he rested his back against the door frame.

"What's an angel of time?" Crystal enthusiastically but in all curiosity.

"That's what he controls, that's his lineage...he can see into the past and future" Helen filled in and she smiled.

"So I can as well say Garnet is an angel of earth, while Amber is an angel of air?" Crystal asked and Helen nodded.

"Yeah, and I am an angel of water...you've seen me use my powers a couple of times I suppose, so...you've also met Ruby and Rose. Angel of animal and plant" Helen pointed to the two who were sitting at the dining and waving at Crystal.

"Animal and plant?" Crystal quirked a brow only to see a snake dancing by her feet.

"What the f**k!" She screamed out in fear but Helen was chuckling.

"Quit playing with her Ruby" Helen scolded and the snake slithered away.

"She can control animals?" Crystal gasped out in shock.

"Yes, and Rose can-do that" Helen pointed at the roses that instantly sprouted in front of the house.

"Wow" Crystal exclaimed.

"Then there's my mother's personal advisor and head warrior Lily, I don't believe you've met" Helen turned to Lily who was now seated next to the queen discussing.

"She's like my aunt...my guard too, she's not good with people but she has the same power with Rose" Helen explained after Lily didn't give them a second look.

"Why haven't you mentioned me?" Jasper walked forward to have himself introduced.

"Hi, I'm Jasper Fotia and I can-

"He's a jester" Helen filled in and Jasper frowned for not being properly introduced making few laugh.

"They controls fire-

"You can make fire?" Crystal sounded astonished and it only made Jasper feel more good about himself.

"Don't inflate his ego" Helen warned and Jasper shot her a scorn on response.

"But he shares the same power with Alex, her mate is Pearl, the second most beautiful amongst us all-

"But who's the first?" Amber forced from the sofa chair she was seated with a frown on her face. Well, Crystal did find her very attractive...I mean, judging from her diamond face, small round lips, prominent steel blue eyes, armpit length diamond hair with fringes, prominent hips with steep Arched brows...'she is gorgeous' Crystal concluded in her head.

"Yeah who's the first?" Jasper was suddenly curious.

"You're really asking?" About four members voiced turning towards the direction of Hematite.

"That's Hematite, angel of love...known for their good looks that could easily charm-" Helen paused looking at Crystal who was lost in watching Hematite. Yeah, it was the aura they gave off...Angels of love could easily charm anyone without even knowing it, Hematite eventually raised her head from the cards she was stacking only to find out attention had finally turned to her.

"Crystal" Helen called out loudly wanting her to snap out of her daze.

"Yes" Crystal flinched turning her attention back to Helen.

"That's Hematite and she can bewitch and control you with or without knowing like what just happened" Helen warned in advance.

"Hey, that's not nice" Hematite defended herself.

"She's human she's more likely to get easily compelled by my aura" Hematite said in her defense when Crystal still think she was the most gorgeous thing she's met but Helen turned her away so she wouldn't be compelled by her charms.

"She's not supposed to be compelled by your aura since she has Angelique soul in her" The queen stood up all of a sudden and walked hastily to her by holding her hands and closing her eyes.

"I can hardly feel her presence-

"Mom what do you mean by that?" Helen worried.

"Angelique...is lost somewhere inside her void, she isn't close" The queen voiced out the only problem that could have happened. We will never be able to extract her soul if she isn't drawn out of that void-" The queen paused.

"Someone have to get her" She concluded and everyone's shoulders sagged.
