Chapter two: The Feather

The rebuilding started that afternoon. Everyone was holding up pieces of wall. Crowley was one of these people holding the wall up. Celena was worried about him. She noticed him struggling to hold it. She knew a normal person can't hold up that much wall. Especially when it ways that much. It's also stone. So it must be really heavy. " Do you got that Mister Crowley?" Celena asked wondering if he does. Or if he needs help holding it. " No I got it." Crowley said knowing he can handle holding it. Celena nodded understanding he can do this. A few adults came over to fix the wall while Crowley it.

Celena got bored of watching them rebuild. So she decided to walk around where they were rebuilding. She walked around looking around for something. She soon found somthing on the ground. It was a black feather. She picked it up to observe it. It didn't look like a bird feather. It was too big to belong to any black bird. Like a Crow. Or a Raven. But she did wonder where it came from. She knew just the person to tell her about this. Crowley can tell her about this stuff. She ran back to him quickly.

Once she got to him she saw they were done rebuilding that part of the wall. She smiled as Crowley cracked his back. She stopped in front of him ready to show him the feather. Crowley noticed her and gave her a smile. " What you got there Celena?" Crowley asked wondering what she was holding in her hand. Celena showed him the feather. Crowley gasped. He was surprised and scared to see the feather. Because it was his feather. It must have fallen off while he was flying Aziraphale to safety last night. He must have not noticed because he was in a hurry.

Celena noticed the gasped. She wondered why he gasped. She shrugged it off though. She just continued talking with him about the feather. " Where did this feather come from?" Celena asked wondering if he knew. " Where did you find?" Crowley asked hoping to trick her. Kids can be gullible. So he hoped she would be. " Among the rumble around here." Celena said knowing that is where she found it. " Then it must have fallen off a bird while it was cleaning it's feathers." Crowley said hoping she would believe that. She had to. She is only eight or nine.
---------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Okay. I'm gullible but I've stopped falling for things like this. But seeing as this Roman girl is smart and stubborn. Like Aziraphale. She won't fall for this. Okay. Back to the story.
---------------------------------------------------------

But Celena didn't believe it. She wasn't a dumb kid. She was smart. She read about animals in her life. She's studied every animal she's come across. She knew about all the birds that came around their city. So she wasn't going to let some adult tell her that this feather belongs to some bird. She took a deep breath and let it out.

Then she decided to counter his comment. " Well it's not a bird. The feather is too big." Celena said knowing it was. Crowley could see she was right. The feather was too big for it to be a birds feather. Bird feathers are smaller than that. He knew it was his. He just doesn't know how to tell her about it. But Celena continued to ask the question she started with. " So what creature does this feather come from?" Celena asked wondering about that still. Crowley decided to take her to his house to tell her.

So he went up to her parents to ask if she can come over for lunch. They said yes to that. That was they can continue rebuilding. Once he got that answer he took Celena's hand. He took her to his house. Where Aziraphale was resting.
