Angel Protector Chapter 19: Raphael

Heavy breathing came from under the table as the princess continued to shiver in fear. The door was getting pounded and it caused the princess to cower in the darkness. Despite the constant beating, the door didn't seem to be on the verge of breaking. After a while, the pounding stopped and the princess looked at the door with caution. She got up from under the table and walked slowly towards the door. She raised her hand towards the door knob slowly, her hand still shivering. Just as she was about to touch the knob, it turned by itself slowly and eerily. The princess' eyes widened in fear as the door creaked open slowly. The princess backed away from the door as it opened; expecting someone to walk through it. The door opened fully but there was no one in sight. Seeing that there was no one in sight, the princess gave a sigh of relief.

"Looks like that thing is gone...I wonder if that soldier was killed."

The princess walked towards the door, going to check on the soldier that she saw. As she walked closer and closer to the place she saw him, the sight that she saw made her look away in disgust. There was blood splattered all over the walls and floor and he was missing an arm, clearly it had been bitten off.

"What's going on here..."

The princess looked around her and suddenly felt something drip on her head. She looked up and saw two bright red eyes staring at her. Those jewel like eyes stared at her intently with an evil aura. Slowly, she saw it move towards her, but she still could not make out what it was. The princess took a step back with the creature still on the wall, inching forward slowly. Suddenly the princess dashes away, the creature was irritated by this and growled loudly, giving chase behind her; running on the wall and jumping from wall to wall.

"Help! Someone help me please!"

The creature was much faster than her and jumped in front of her. She screamed the moment the moon shone its light upon the creature; it was a werewolf. Its claws grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against the wall, growling as he did that. Fresh blood dripped from its fangs as he breathed unto the pale face of the princess. The princess struggled frantically to loosen it grip on her but to no avail. Just as the beast was about to bite her it suddenly let go of her and it dropped dead on the floor. The princess fell to the ground with a thud and she saw a pair of legs in front of her. Curious to know who saved her, she looked up and saw an archangel. He had shoulder length hair and his blood glimmered in the moonlight.

"What..are..you?"
"Is that anyway to talk to someone who just saved your life?"
"Are you an angel?"
"Can't you tell?"
"You're pretty rude for an angel..."
"And you're pretty useless as a princess."

The princess glared at him and got up slowly from the ground. The archangel didn't seem to care about her and looked away.

"What was that thing anyway?"
"What do you think it was?"
"It looked like a werewolf..."
"There you go, it was a werewolf."

The princess glared at him again but the angel looked away again.

"Why did it attack me?"
"Because..."
"Yes?"
"It found you irritating."
"Huh?!"
"I should have let it kill you if I knew you were so irritating too."

The princess suddenly stopped and pulled out the angel's sword from its shaft. She pointed it at him and stared at him coldly. The angel was slightly taken aback but gave a small smirk.

"Now answer my question."
"Fine, I'll answer your question. Do you remember the two girls whom you helped at the destroyed village years ago?"
"Sakura and Ayumi?"
"The demons want both of them dead. And somehow they found out that you were the one helping them."
"Demons..."
"What are you so surprised about? You're looking at an angel in front of you."
"Hmmm."
"Now return my sword."

The princess stretched out her hand and the angel grabbed his sword back from her quickly and put it in the shaft.

"Now my little princess, we should clean up this mess."
"It's surprising no one woke up from all that noise."
"That's because I set up a barrier to block the noise, if more people came out, they would have died."

The angel closed his eyes and concentrated on saying some spell. The blood stains disappeared and his body disappeared as flickers of light.

"Wow..."
"Now princess Evie, back to your room."
"*pouts* I'm not a small kid."
"Yes you are, go on now."
"Fine I'm going, I'm going, but before that tell me your name."
"My name is...Raphael."

He flies away into the night sky but turns back for a moment to make sure princess Evie has returned to her room.
