Rescue (Angra)(mature)

[Celeste]

A book in her hand having recently gotten yet another one from the library downstairs, Celeste walked through the halls of the arcane academy completly enthralled in her book. She wasn't looking where she was going nor looking at who exactly was in the halls. She was only concentrating on reading and turning the pages in the latest magical origins book.

Suddenly however her world changed. She was grabbed from behind a gloved hand placed over her mouth pressing so no noise would escape. Her crystalline blue eyes widened in fear as she was pressed against the captor and taken into a small alcove. Shoved up against the wall the person moved in front of her and pressed her against the wall holding her there.

"Such beauty.. " he whispered as he pulled a knife out of his belt and held it to her face.

"Tis a shame." he chuckled as his gloved had ran up underneath her dress carressing her inner thigh.

"I...I...." she tried and the man just laughed as shining crystaline tears fell from her eyes.

[Angra Mainyu.]

Angra had a small smile on his lips, as he watched the thing unfold before him. He had to say one thing, the man was right the girl was rather beautiful. A shame to let that go to waste by such a petty criminal who didn't know the subtler things behind true pain. Or wouldn't know it until now. He yawned bored of the whole ordeal when he saw his next move. A rapist, he should've guessed the whole thing already. He shook his head at the scene, Angra who wouldn't mind destroying both of them for the mere fun of it. Or wouldn't mind watching the man rape her until she was sobbing loudly and then he would enter to end her life. Among all those things he would prefer to do, then he instead simply smashed his left hand into the right side of the mans throat with a simply karate chop. Not bothering to use Pain's touch yet. Instead, he reached down to the girl. Grabbed her closest arm. Then pulled her away from the wall and up behind him. He could feel her soft skin, and a part of him couldn't wait to have his personal torture of someone, this... Innocent looking.

Having miscalculated the pain the man could take, Angra felt something plunge deep into his left shoulder while the right hand was trying to pull the girl away. He felt the wonderful pain run through him, overloading him with it and he felt stronger than ever, and in deep pain at the same time. His right hand let go of the girl. Swung over and struck the man at his temple. Pulled the knife out after that and threw it at him and simply watched with a twisted smile as it pierced through his soft stomach. Blinking twice as he staggered back. How could he have been this stupid? He had let his mind wander with the torture once and that part had been exploited and now he was badly wounded.

"... Quite a rescue, huh?" He said while he couldn't feel his left arm, the knife must have cut something important when it had struck him. "You shouldn't by any chance be able to help me?" He added after some seconds of silence.

[Celeste]

A hand grabbed her when the attack suddenly stopped for a moment. Her eyes which had been closed now opened to look at the man saving her. The man that was placing her behind him like a protector. She stepped back slightly when he let go of her arm. Watching but not wanting to be in the way in case he needed to make a move. Tears had finally stopped falling because she felt no longer in danger yet worry tinged her face for the man in front of her.

STAB

Celeste cried out when her rescuer took a knife into the shoulder. All her fault. However, would she make this up to him? The other man took the knife back into the stomach and it seemed that he was no more. Her savior turned to her and Celeste moved quickly. She lifted his uninjured arm and placed it around her shoulder taking his weight. Her genetic profile allowed her a bit more strength in normal circumstances when she needed it and using her mana she boosted it a bit. Taking his weight she began to walk.

"I can, sir. Lets get you out of the hallway first." she said in her soft angelic and melodic voice.

Her room had not been far from the attack. In fact three doors later and the white haired girl stopped. She opened the door having nothing to steal anyway it was rarely locked. Greeted by a very happy Azure, a small mechanical beetle her brother had given her, and Celeste couldn't help but smile. One of the best gifts ever. She moved to the bed. The soft white covers coming up to carress the man as she pulled back the covers and lay him down on the sheets.

"Azure get his shoes while I heal." she told the little bug. Azure only too happy to have something to do ran over to the man and began untying his shoes so that he could fully lay down and comfortably.

She had dressed specially made with low and bare backs for one reason alone and this man was about to find out. Her eyes watched him as they swirled from the crystalline blue to the deep red as she thrust back her shoulders and her white angel wings burst forth into the room. An almost wall to wall wingspan of about thirteen feet. She flapped them gently allowing herself to raise into the air a few feet over the man that lay bleeding on her bed.

Prayer of an Angel

A healing rain of light fell from the ceiling down upon the man healing his wounds easily. The gaping hole from the knife wound was no more and the skin was seemless once more. However, she did not have the power to replace the blood he had loss but she had plans for that. Once sufficiently healed she came back down to the floor the man's shoes having been removed by Azure she helped the man lie fully on the bed and she pulled the covers up to his shoulder. Her wings disappeared and her eyes again were blue.

"Rest now, you are safe here. And it is the only way to replenish that which you have lost." she said softly. "Would you like anything? Please.. anything you need. Ask. And thank you for saving me."

She moved forward and placed a gently kiss on his forehead before moving back again and patting his undamaged shoulder.

"Rest now." she said softly and turned to the desk to read while he slept.

[Angra Mainyu.]

Saviour turned into the saved one. At least that would be the thought, he hoped. He felt his right arm go around her and she started to carry him along, for the medical wing or something like that probably. Unless she was one of the healing students. But if she were, then she wouldn’t take him away, then she might as well simply just heal him right here. Right? However, he were proven wrong when she stopped in front of some door that he knew wasn’t the medical wing. Her own dormitory, or perhaps somewhere she knew someone who could heal him. He didn’t know, nor did he react to anything but following her through the door where some mechanical thing greeted the girl. From the looks on it then it was some sort of beetle like thing. He was gently placed down on the bed and for a second he was wondering what she was going to do. She might be grateful, but this would be a bit too much. She said something about healing as his shoes were removed. Then her white wings unfolded. What an angel, literally. He felt a nice warmness from his left shoulder as he could see, actually, watch as the wound grew back in together and the tissue and what not that the knife had slashed was reformed again. Taking his eyes away from this work of magic and up on the girl/angel floating gently above him, finishing her work of healing on his shoulder before she landed again.

~Just imagine Angra… This girl. I need this girl to become mine, in one way or another. For now I shall stay here and befriend her. ~

Her wings disappeared and her eyes turned to the blue colour again, he had actually liked the red one more, it had given her a more powerful look. Then she talked a bit and he listened to her intently, he would just have t ask her if he had needed anything. He wouldn’t have minded getting her name before she kissed him on the forehead and demanded him to sleep. Still a bit struck over the kiss, never had he received one anywhere before. He smiled and would brush the matter away if his hands weren’t trapped underneath the blanket.

“For that kiss, then I am the one to be thanking you…”

He said before closing his eyes softly and let himself relax while listening to her and his own breathing and the mechanicals beetle’s movement around the room. He had lost a lot of blood, so he were feeling a bit dizzy at the whole thing. Just wondering what he would wake up to see.

[Celeste]

She heard his words about the kiss and she blushed a red color crossing her pale cheeks as she stook touching his shoulder gently before stepping away from him. He soon fell asleep and she knew that he would need it. She placed his shoes over by the door so that they were out of the way and looked at the stack of recently acquired library books.

She picked up Azure off the floor and fed him some of her mana gently the little bug lived off of the stuff and she loved this little guy. He was like her pet and she had never really been able to take care of one properly. She picked up a book as the little beetle sat on her shoulder.

She began to read silently and fast. Her eyes absorbing the knowledge it usually took her about twenty to thirty minutes to read a full five hundred page book and memorize it. She picked up the next book and started on it her eyes checking on the boy in her bed. She still didn't know his name but there would be time enough for that later. When he woke she would ask as for now he needed his sleep to heal. She just read waiting for him to stir.

[Angra Mainyu.]

Dreaming in a colourless world, to see everything in black and white were only something the naive did. Angra was dreaming that now, a world where it wasn't black and white. It was pain and non-pain. images of people in horrible pain, his victims flashed before him and he was literally spasming in the dream, it began to turn white around his mouth as the spasms reached it's peak and the victims turned to randome people not in pain. Those he had passed on the streets, those who he had not harmed in a horrible way. Suddenly all the images were gone and everything turned pitch black. Lying for some moments, he just stared into the inside of his eyelids before it came to him that he was awake right now. He didn't want to be awake now, he wanted to go back to the images of his victims. Groaning in dismay he finally opened his eyes and just stared into the ceiling just listening to his own heartbeat and the shuffling of pages from somewhere in the room. The image of an angel flashed before his eyes. An angel flying at the ceiling in the sky before him. He blinked, wondering if he had seen the true thing. But it was soon gone again and Angra realised where he were.

His head turned and looked at the girl he had saved from a rapist earlier. The things coming back to him instantly and he smiled softly at her, oh those images of her he had imagined in his mind. He tried to lift his left shoulder but still felt it weak after the blood loss, he merely groaned again. It seemed that life wasn't fair, he had finally found someone completely innocent, and then his body wouldn't allow him to harm her. Closing his eyes again he rested for some seconds before opening his mouth slowly and let his tongue roll around the front of his teeth.

"Nothing like waking up with a numb left arm... How is the angel doing?"

[Celeste]

She heard him groaning from the bed and she looked up from her book. Yet, his eyes were still closed and she assumed he was dreaming or having a night mare and so she didn't say anything but resumed her reading. It was a bit later she heard his voice and she looked up with a smile seeing him awake.

She stood up slowly and closed her book setting it on the desk before she moved over to him. She sat down on the edge of his bed and smiled gently pulling the white covers back just so she could take his left arm out before covering him back up again.

"I'm Celeste. And I'm fine. The real question however, is how are you?" she asked with a smile as she looked into his eyes before her pale hands began to massage the muscles of his arm gently.

"Try to get you some feeling back." she said softly as she continued to massage his arm gently. "And now that you know my name, what is yours?"

[Angra Mainyu.]

She left the comfort of a desk and the depth of a book to go over to him. Took his rather useless arm out of the white blanket and the wrapped him in again. Was this what a mother, father, sister, loved one would do to you? Angra didn't know, but he didn't mind it one bit. She spoke to him, telling her name, Celeste, a rather nice sounding name.

"I am doing fine, I am sure you patched me up fine when you spread out your wings, little angel..."

She continued to massage his arm and he felt he could feel the soft touch, or else it was something he were simply imagining to himself. It was incredible, he indeed wanted to taint this one. Reaching up with his right hand he placed it on one of her hands and gently took it to his mouth and placed a gentle kiss on the top like an old fashioned man.

"Angra... Sorry for being blunt, but are you a true angel?"

[Celeste]

She looked down at the boy in her bed as she massaged his arm gently. She was trying to work the feeling back into his arm her fingers massaging the muscles in his arm. She blushed at his comment and how he called her little angel. Even her eyes had that shy innocent look.

His hand on hers made her stop massaging as he took it away gently and kissed the back of it. Her blush deepened as he introduced himself and her blue eyes locked on his gaze.

"I'm afraid not. Though I am about as close as it gets." she said softly as her free hand began massaging again. "I was.. created by a corporation. Genetic hybrid is what they said." she said softly as her eyes shifted back to his arm.

"So.. basically yes. I suppose so. Though I'm not from heaven or some such like that. I was created in a lab and born of a mother. I can pull my wings in or out at will and if I call on my powers my eyes turn red. I escaped from the corporation and was rescued by the academy." she said not even slightly afraid to tell this new friend a bit about her past.

"Where are you from, Angra?" she asked softly letting her eyes look back into his.

[Angra Mainyu.]

Angra listened to her as she spoke, this must be one of the longest conversations he had had without him gloating or killing the other member of the conversation. He wanted to smirk at this, but she was telling about her past and from the sound of it then she didn't seem too happy about it. Or she shouldn't be that happy about it.

"I am just a drifter from Germany." He said absent minded as he was thinking a little and looking at he blushed cheeks. "They created you in a lab? ... I wouldn't mind to hear more about it, but I am sure it must be hard for you to talk about it."

[Celeste]

Celeste slid her other hand out of his grasp gently as she could massage him easier if she used both hands. She moved up and down his arm gently and firmly massaging the feeling back into his arm and his hand hoping this was helping. For the next few minutes as she thought about what to say she continued to massage trying to help him. Several minutes later, she let his hand go gently for a moment his hand in her lap as she looked up at him and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind. But, I want to make sure you healed well. So.. I'm going to remove your shirt." she said softly as her hands reached down and began unbuttoning his shirt slowly chewing on her bottom lip in nervousness and a blush on her face.

"As for my creation I don't mind telling you. It isn't really a secret. I was created given human and avian dna." she began as she unbuttoned more of his shirt.

"And I grew up living in the basement of a huge building of the Nephilim Corporation. Everyday was.. filled with tests of sorts. Mind, body, and willpower. As well as the tests they did once they found out I not only had wings but developed magical powers as well." she finished unbuttoning his shirt and she pushed the sides back and looked at his shoulder her hand running over where the scar would be had he not healed completly.

"So unless, I was ill or unconscious due to some test they had performed that was my life. It was.. rather painful.. physically truth to tell." she said softly as she let her eyes meet his again and offered him a smile.

"Sit up for me please?" she asked softly.

[Angra Mainyu.]

Angra listened to her, lifted an eyebrow when she told she would have to remove his shirt. If wasn't careful then she might end up taking advantage of him. The irony was too much for Angra not to notice and when she started to unbutton his shirt he laughed shortly at the look on her face.

"Hmm, I preferred when it were your eyes and not your cheeks that were red..."

As she would unbutton him, she would uncover a well-trained body, not over trained, but still quite buff. She told about her past while she unbuttoned the rest of his shirt. If Angra had been, any sort of emotionally, he might have felt sad for her. For now, he only saw a possible opening. He felt her gentle fingers touch his shoulder and he noticed where his left arm was resting at the same time. His right hand went up and gently but firmly wrapped around her hand that trailed down his shoulder and moved with it down. When she asked him to sit up he followed through, holding her hand against his chest all the time as he reached full sitting position.

"... Don't you ever feel angry for them performing those tests on you?"

[Celeste]

She felt his hand enclose over his hand she smiled at him. She didn't know what to think about that. He talked about her eyes and she smiled brightly. Most people thought her red eyes were a bit freaky. A little weird really because well.. they were red. She bit her lower lip and let her eyes swirl to purple before they turned red again.

"Most think they are scary looking." she said softly as she looked into his eyes again.

He began to sit up and he held her hand to his chest. Her breath for some reason caught in her throat as he was very close now it seemed to her. Not that she minded he seemed like a very nice man. It was just close. Well it was about to get closer. Her eyes now red looked into his eyes.

"Of course, it's one of the reasons I ran away." she said softly as she leaned over him slightly and checked the back of his shoulder with her fingers gently feeling nothing but smooth muscular shoulder she pulled her free hand back gently as he was still holding her other hand.

"I had to attack some of the people that worked there to get out. Use magic they didn't know I had to get out. They had put me in a sensory isolation tank for days. So after I recovered I was a bit.. mad I guess." she said softly as she looked into his eyes still rather close his hand still holding hers. "But I'm out now. And it's nice here."

[Angra Mainyu.]

They were actually rather close now, Angra hadn't noticed it, and he had been too preoccupied with other thoughts to notice. He just looked into her eyes as they changed from red to purple and back to red again.

"Might be, but I like them in any case." He said lowly, perhaps she couldn't hear it, perhaps she could. It was the whole point of it being low. She spoke some more and began to touch his back, her touch was soft, and he didn't mind it at all. Actually, it was rather nice to feel her hand, but she stopped eventually and she had also stopped the massage of his arm. She was incredible close to him now as she leaned over to check his back. Once she was done her hand retreated, he was still holding her other hand. Angra’s left hand had returned to feeling again, there were a small pulsing of pain from it once in a while, otherwise it seemed to be in order. His thoughts would have betrayed him if anyone could have read his mind now.

“Do you think I will live, my little angel?” He said softly before turning the subject to something else entirely. "I am glad you are out of it, but I can't help to think that they need to get punished for what they did... Don’t you think?”

[Celeste]

Her eyes still red opened a bit wide as he said he liked her eyes this way. She had never had anyone say that they were beautiful. The irises now the color of rubies from the brightest to the darkest facets of her eyes. She looked into his eyes and decided right then to keep them red for now. For him they would stay red. Something about him seemed .. attracting.

He was still holding her other hand to his chest and she'd be lying to say that she minded. His hand was warm and his chest was toned and it made her want to blush yet she didn't there was something very intriguing about this man. She smiled as he called her 'my little angel'.

"Yes, you've healed completly there is no scar. You'll be just fine. I can't thank you enough for saving me. I'm terribly sorry you got injured. I''m just glad I could heal it for you." she said softly her eyes locked on his she couldn't move or take them away she was lost. She heard him ask if she they deserved punishment.

"Honestly, just the thought of them doing it to anyone else makes me ill. But.. what can I do? I only have a few attacking spells and it was hard enough to just get out of there. What could I do.. I'm just one girl." she said softly looking deep into his eyes.
