Angel Protector Chapter 15: Sacrifice

An angel knocks on the door of Michael and enters with a flask of cystal clear water in his hands. Michael looks up expectantly at him while he puts the flask on his table.
"Michael, this is the water from the fountain of youth."
"Well done, you may go now."

As soon as he leaves the room Michael opens the screen to call Christine. She's sitting at the couch watching tv.
"Christine, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking after both of them of course."
"Never mind that, we've got the water from the fountain of youth."
"That's fast. But we still need the blood and feather from another elemental seraphim."
"Contact Uriel and find out Sakura's condition from him."
"You do know Sakura wont have a high chance to live if we put her through this right?"
"Yes but what other choice do we have?"
"(sighs) you're right. Ok i'll contact Uriel."

Michael closes the screen and Christine opens her screen to contact Uriel.
"Uriel, they've got the water, all we need now is for Sakura to wake up."
"Sakura hasn't woken up yet."
"Uriel you're the angel of death. Tell me honestly if they all can live."
"I won't know, I only can tell humans life span, not angels."
"But Ayumi and Sakura are both humans now rght?"
"For some reason i can't see their life spans."
"Maybe because they have the blood of the angels."
"Yes it could be, I'll let you know if she wakes up."
"Ok."

The screen closes and Christine turns off the tv. She walks to the side of Ayumi and Sera.
"All we can do is wait and hope for the best. I feel so helpless."
Uriel turns back and sits beside Sakura again.
"Sakura you must hurry and wake up, Ayumi needs your help."

As Uriel talks to her, in Sakura's mind she hears his voice.
"This voice...whose is it? Its so deep and warm."
"Ayumi's in danger? I must save her."

As these thoughts ran through her mind, her eyes start to open. A blur image of Uriel forms but slowly she sees him clearly. Uriel smiles as she opens her eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Uriel, the angel of death."
"Did you save me?"
"Yes."
"Is Ayumi in danger?
"She's been bitten by a vampire. She'll lose her angel powers and become a vampire soon."
"What?"
"You must relax, or you won't recover in time to save her."
"You're in no condition to save her now."
"I must save her!"
"Just rest for a while."

Uriel opens the screen to Christine.
"She's awake Christine."
"That's pretty fast."
"She keeps saying she wants to save Ayumi."
"Let me see her."

Uriel walks to the bedside of the very surprised Sakura.
"What's this?"
"Its how we angels communicate." says Uriel
"wow..."
"Hmm, her condition is still pretty unstable."
"Who's that Uriel?"
"She's Christine, the chief healer."
"Please let me help Ayumi."
"You might die if you save her now. Is that worth it?"
"You don't understand. We went through everything together."
"We know of both your pasts..."
"Then let me save her!"

Christine sighs and opens another screen showing Michael.
"Michael, she's awake."
"Is her condition ok?"
"Its still unstable but she wants to save Ayumi now."
"Did you tell her that she might die?'
"Of course, but she's a stubborn one."

Sakura pouts upon hearing this.
"Whos that now Uriel?" asks Sakura
"Thats Michael, the one in charge of running Divinia."
"Divinia?"
"The place where angels live."
"I see..."
"What do you think Michael?"

Michael thinks for awhile and looks seriously at Sakura.
"Do you really not mind dying for Ayumi?
"Yes! let me save her."
"(sighs) We have no choice, let her go through the process."

The look of Uriel became worried as he heard this but he kept quiet. Christine sighed again and nodded her head.
"I'll see to everything then, send the water to me."
"I'll send someone to send it to you."

Michael closes the screen and Christine looks back at Uriel's screen.
"Ok Uriel, bring Sakura here."
"Ok."
"Thank you Christine." says Sakura
"You don't have to thank me."

Christine closes the screen and sits patiently waiting for the water to come. An angel soon came and gave it to her. She puts the water beside Ayumi and Uriel arrives with Sakura in his arms.

"Ok are you ready?"
"Yes."

Christine summons her staff and soon the whole room is filled with a bright blue light.
