Random Writing part 5

Abel rammed Felix again this time hard enough that the big wolf lost his balance and fell next to Rune. "Cain, i can hear her! She's hurt!"

"Rune go get her you know where she's at!" Rune nodded and stood up. He got a running head start before leaping into the air and letting the breeze catch his wings.


Onyx followed the smell of burnt flesh and saw Sam, his brown hair up and his golden eyes open but not in terror he had accepted his death. He was tied to a stake, this wasn't because he was Seer everyone knew that it was because he had wanted to help Emilen. Onyx bowed his head to the ground for a moment in a silent show of respect and darted off toward the smell of smoke.


He saw the smoke first before the fire, he didn't need anyone to tell him what was going on because he knew. He ran up the steps to the cottage but was pulled down, he looked back to see people with worried expressions on their faces. Chains were in their hands as they lassoed him like a bull and pulled him back. 'Emilen.... I've failed you. I'm sorry.' He thought as he was dragged back so he could watch the burning.


Rune flew the forest he didn't have time on his side and he knew that. The forest thinned out and left him hanging in the air as the smell of death assaulted him. He flew past not knowing what was going on but the smell of fire kept him going and that was enough.

"Mother!" Emlien whimpered. She curled into a ball as the last of the exits caught fire, she was stuck in this house and she would burn along with it. She looked to the roof willing it to disappear so she might see the sky once more before she burned with the house. The roof broke in splinters and she saw wings descend and feet touch the ground, it was Rune.

To much smoke made her cough and sputter, "Rune?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm right here. Come on lets get you out, can you stand up?" He questioned. Emilen shook her head and Rune gently cradled her in his arms. He jumped up and let the wind take hold of his wings, he got them out of the house and close enough that Onyx would see he had Emlien but not so close the people would see. When he was able to settle down and set Emilen down without her falling they both saw something that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Rune's hand snaked out and he covered Emilen's mouth as she let out a scream that quickly turned into a sob. Her mother lay broken on the ground dead, and Sam was tied to a stake and burned. All because of her and what she was. Rune wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her to him, as she tried hard to escape and run to her mother. "No Emilen! They'll see us and we'll get hurt!" Rune said as he tried to drag her away.

Emilen's hands went up and her nails bit into Rune's hands, he let go but not before slapping her. He didn't have time to register what happened because she was on the ground next to her mother, crying and holding the dead woman's hand. "Mom, mom!" She screamed her words coming out hysterical.

Rune looked around for something to knock Emilen out with before they got caught. He heard the voices and tried to drag Emilen away but nothing would get her away. "Leave me alone!" She screamed. "Let me die with her!" Rune didn't say anything more just bowed and walked off leaving the girl he once loved to face death alone.

She looked up and seeing the men she smiled at them, it was one of pain and insanity. "I want to die." She giggled having lost all control of herself and everything around her.

One of the men reached out to grab her when Onyx burst through the men and stepped in front of her followed by Abel and Felix. Cain was last his shoes were gone and he made his way to Emilen, he helped her up and led her away while the wolves guarded there backs. Somewhere along the way Emilen's vision began to swim and she heard faint voices in the background strangely one sounded like Abel.

The water was dark and murky as she placed one toe in, looking closer she saw why that was. This wasn't water... it was blood. She looked around and saw her mother and father and Sam all dead and broken because of her. Rune was there and when she tried to talk to him he only slapped her away and called her a beast. He had no wings, that was she supposed when she realized she was dreaming. She woke up and felt Abel beside her, "Abel!" She whimpered pulling his arm up and scooting close enough so she could bury her face in his chest.

"I'm right here." He whispered pulling her to him.

"Don't leave me!" She cried. "Please, Abel I'm sorry please don't leave me!" She continued to sob. "Don't leave me! Don't leave like mom and Sam and Rune! Please!" She continued to sob into his chest.

"Shhhh. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here for as long as you need me." He whispered sitting up enough to turn the beside lamp on. He rocked her back and forth whispering comforting words to comfort her.

"He left me." She said finally as she looked up into Abel's eyes.

Abel thought he knew who she was talking about but decided to ask. "Who?"

"Rune." She whispered her finger tracing the bruise that began to show under his eye. "What happened?"

"Nothing, Onyx and i were just messing around." Abel lied. That seemed good enough and Emilen settled back into the comfort of Abel's arms. In truth he had caught up with the pathetic excuse for a angel and they had gotten into a fight. Abel left with a black eye and Rune... he left with hurt pride and a few broken bones. Though he could easily heal he knew he had damaged his pride because he had Emilen, and he actually cared for her.

"Is she sleeping?" Felix asked as he poked his head in the room. Abel nodded and Felix padded in, "What if she wants to forget? Will you let her?" Felix asked knowing that there was a strong chance Emilen might want to forget.

"Yes." Abel replied squeezing Emilen's sleeping form a little tighter as he said it. And he meant it, "I just have to believe that if i let her forget... she'll still be my Emilen and she'll still love me as i love her."

"What if she doesnt?" Felix quizzed knowing that once Emilen forgot the pain she would forget the wolves as well.

"Then i did what she wished. I want her to be happy." He said. Emilen whimpered and her grip tightened around Abel, she had heard but she knew deep down the first time she had forgotten it hadnt been all because of her dad... Rune never really loved her like she did him and that hurt. She just wanted to forget the pain, like now she wanted to forget the pain, but knew she couldnt forget it without forgetting Abel... and she couldnt live without Abel or Felix. Or her whole family for that matter, sleep finally came to both of them Able's arms were still wound around her and he held her all through the night. The nightmares would come and go but Abel would stay... right? She could only hope.
