Angel Protector Chapter 16

As Christine summoned her wand; she started to say some words which even Uriel did not even understand. A bright blue light filled the whole room as she said the spell. Ayumi and Sakura were now being lifted into the air by some unknown force and the blue light now slowly engulfed them. Cuts appeared on Sakura and her blood flowed out. Her blood floated in mid air as Christine now opened the vial of water from the fountain of youth. The water tried to mix with her blood but it was not happening. Christine crushed the feather and fine particles mixed into the two liquids, now mixing it. As the blood and water mixed together, it now flowed into the bite marks on Ayumi. All this time Sakura was awake and felt all that was happening, she grimaced in pain as her blood still continued to flow out. Uriel looked away when he saw the pain Sakura was in. After all the blood had flowed into Ayumi, she closed up Sakura's cuts and laid her down on a chair. Ayumi still lay unconscious on her bed as Sakura took one last look at her, smiling before she fainted, too weak from the whole process.

"Christine! Sakura has fainted, will she be fine?"
"Don't worry, the process went well. She's just too weak now."
"Thank goodness..."
"Sakura risked her life to save a friend, i don't think heaven is so cruel to let her die."

Uriel said no reply to this and just walked to the window and gazed into the sky.
"I should be going back to my duties now that Sakura is fine."
"Move along then, you can leave her to me."

Uriel flew away and Christine opened the screen to Michael.
"Michael, the process went well, both of them are fine."
"That's good to hear."

Michael heaved a huge sigh of relief and slumped back into his chair.
"How about Sera? Is he getting better?"
"He is recovering well, you don't have to worry."
"Very well, has Uriel gone?"
"Yes he's gone back to his duties."
"I'll leave all of them in your care then."
"You can trust me."
"Make sure nothing bad happens now."
"Yes yes Michael..."

Michael closed the screen and Christine rolled her eyes.
"He's becoming more of a nag..."
"But that's what nice about him." smiled Christine as she thought of this.

Sera opened his eyes and tried to get up, Christine saw this out of the corner of her eye and quickly rushed to his side.

"Sera you're finally awake."
"What happened?"
"You were controlled by Melissa."
"Did i do anything?"

Before Christine answered he saw the lifeless body of Ayumi lying on the bed beside him.
"Did i do that to her?"
"Well...yes."
"Will she be ok?"
"Yah, you don't have to worry, just rest for now."

Sera now saw Sakura lying on the chair.
"Sakura? What is she doing here?"
"You know her?"
"She's Ayumi's friend isn't she?"
"She's the seraphim of water, she fought against Melissa and Krysta after both of you dropped from the sky."
"How's that possible?"
"We're trying to find out...in the meantime, we should let her rest."
"Ok."
"And you should be resting too."

Christine forces Sera to lie down, but as he lay down, an archangel came to the room.
"Gabriel? What brings our favourite messenger here?
"Christine...Divinia is in trouble."
"What? Is it under attack?"
"How many are there?" cuts in Sera.
"One...only one."
"One?"
"Lucifer?"
"No...its Melissa."
"What is she thinking? She may be strong...but not strong enough to take down Divinia."
"Normally yes...but she brought the book of darkness with her."
"What!?" shouts both Sera and Christine.
"Yes..she's creating havoc as we speak."
"We need to go!"
"No Sera i need to go...you stay here and rest."
"But!"
"Ayumi and Sakura both need someone to look after them anyway."

Christine flew off with Gabriel as Sera looked at them.
"Good luck both of you."

Sera went beside Ayumi and gazed upon her lifeless body. He gave a deep sigh and sat down.
"I'm sorry Ayumi...if only I didn't fall into her spell..."

Back at the gates of Divinia, Melissa was wrecking the whole place. As wave after wave of angels charged at her, she easily sent them back with her sword like nails. Christine reached Divinia and tended to the many injured angels. After a while, Melissa opened the book of darkness and started talking in an unknown language. A huge wave of phantoms and spirits came forth from the book and attacked everyone in the way. Michael steps through the gates of Divinia and stood before her, his sword preparing to attack her.
