Chapter Sixteen


Paul slowly opened his eyes, he couldn't remember what had happened to him or why, it was all a blur in his mind. All he could remember was being grabbed as soon as he arrived home. "Urggh.. Where am I?" He groaned, slowly opening his doe eyes.

Looking around, he found himself in an unfamiliar location, but he could tell it wasn't heaven. His vision was still blurred from being passed out for so long, but eventually two figures came into his vision. "Oh Paul! I thought you were never going to wake up, it's been almost an entire day since John and I found you."

"F.. Found me? But how did I even get here? I was with George, both of us were supposed to be in heaven. George!! Did he wind up here too?"

"He's back in hell, don't worry. But he's just as shocked, looks like the both of you were knocked out pretty bad."

Looking at the bedside mirror, Paul nearly jumped out of his seat. "Ah!! What happened to my wings?!"

"Whatever got you both must have torn them right off. Needed an entire spool of thread to stitch you back up, that's not even getting into all the dirt and blood we needed to wash off." John explained, wiping his claws off with a wet wipe. "Had to soak ya for five hours just to get the smell out. Don't worry about a thing, we're going to find out who did this and you can bet your ass they're gonna pay!"

"I.. I hope.. I don't know what to do without my wings, I just feel so empty being stuck here. The other six virtues probably miss me so much! They must all be wondering where I am right now.."

"I'm sure they miss you lots, but in the meantime you can stay with us. We got clothes your size and plenty of recipes you can try out."

"Th.. Thanks, but won't I be a burden for you two? I mean you are gonna be having a baby after all."

"It's no trouble at all, it's the least we can do after everything you've went through. We'll help you find a way back up into heaven and make sure George is able to see you up there too, he talks so much about you whenever I contact him on the mirror."

"Can I use it? I need him to see that I'm alright! Well, sort of alright anyways. I still wish I had my wings."

"I know it'll be rough without them, but I'm sure it won't be long until you regain them. Stick with us and everything's gonna be alright. It gets better all the time y'know?"

"Guess it can't get much worse can it?"
