Damn, I'm an asshole. I realized I left you guys on a cliffhanger for a month... sorry.
Suolo runs in first, and is pulled back abruptly by Noct as he seems to notice the mood in the room. "I'm sorry Amare, I know this probably isn't the best time." Noct says calmly.
"No shit Sherlock!" Shura calls from the back. I laugh despite myself, and Suolo tackles me in a hug.
Bon suddenly speaks, "excuse me... AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES THOSE GIANT ASS WINGS, OR ARE WE ALL JUST IGNORING IT?!"
Noct looks over at him, a slight scowl present on his face, "damn, I hadn't noticed brat."
"Excuse you?!" He yelled, now on his feet, Shima griping his arm in case he felt like trying something.
"Now now Noct, don't get upset." Suolo coos, and pats him lightly on the shoulder.
Yukio clears his throat, "I assume you have a reason for coming?"
"Now let's not get ahead of ourselves children, we haven't yet heard the classes answer to our little dilemma." Mephisto calls from the back of the classroom.
"Oh, you must Mephistopheles, one of seven princes of hell, pleasure to meet you." Noct snarls at the demon, "and what might this dilemma be?"
"Why the fate of our dear Amare here of course. Now make your choices class, is it life or death?"
"We have more pressing matters than your pitiable test of loyalty." Noct grabs my arm and forcibly drags me out of the class room.
We get outside, and the smell of something burning immediately attacks my senses. Large letters have scorched into the grass of the lawn. The class follows us out, and I take off into the air to read what it says. My eyes widen in shock and horror at what I see, and I settle on the ground and fall to my knees. Etched on the ground is 'Bring the fallen angel to us, or we take her by force'. They've already found me.
Time skip
I must have passed out, because I open my eyes to find myself on a nurse bed. My wings hang off the bed, and Shura's hand is gripping mine tightly. I sit up a bit, and notice all of my classmates are in the room with us, most of them asleep, so it must be night. Were they all that worried about me?
Shura wakes up besides me, and pulls me into a tight hug, "we'll be okay Amare," she whispers, "I promise." I nod wearily, and look into her red eyes. They are heavy with exhaustion, but they hold a confident gleam that I'm grateful for. She brushes her hand against the base of my wing, stroking the soft downy feathers, and hums a soft lullaby. I scoot over on the small bed, and she gratefully cuddles up beside me, resting my head on her chest. I let the quiet humming and dull thud of her heart beat draw me into a deeper sleep.
Hey, so I know this was really short, and I wish I had a better excuse. Basically there was a supposed "threat to reenact columbine" you know, the massive school shooting? Anyway the two who were accused are my best friend, and another close friend of mine. I knew they would never do anything like that, but none the less we had to go through metal detectors and gun powder dogs that day, while my friends were forced to stay at home. Thankfully they've now been released from charges since they was no evidence against them. The fbi is tracking the IP address of the anonymous (now deleted) account that started the rumor, so I really hope they go to jail for a long time. There's more to the story, but I won't waste your time, and I promise I'll make up for this next chapter.
