Angel Protector Chapter 20: The Secret Revealed

The morning light shone unto the princess' face and someone walked into her room quietly.
"Good morning sleepyhead, time to wake up."

The princess opened her eyes slowly and rubbed her eyes.
"Let me sleep a while more father, I felt like I didn't sleep at all."
"Now my daughter, you're going to be late for your lessons."

The princess sat up slowly and got dressed. She walked out with her father and stopped him for a while.
"Father, I would like to go somewhere today."
"Where would that be?"
"I want to visit Sakura and Ayumi."
"The two girls you helped?"
"Yes father..."
"I don't see any harm in visiting them; you may go after your lessons."
"Thank you father."

The princess was anxious to finish her lessons and rushed her teachers to end it early. Even though they were rushing through the lesson, the princess still answered the questions correctly. After everything was done, she got into the car and asked her driver to go to Ayumi's house.

Ayumi and Sakura had just finished school and were walking to Ayumi's house; Sera was beside them. They were talking about their familiars.
"What type of familiar is yours, Sakura?"
"It's a fairy, her name is Wy."
"Wow that's so cool, all I have is an oversized bird who eats like a pig."
"Haha, but it seems strong."
"But Sakura, you seem like you have a lot of experience."

Sakura kept silent for a while and replied, "I had training..."
"Training? By who?"
"My Guardian..."
"Guardian, you mean...?"
"Yes Sera, a Guardian like you."
"Where is he? Why isn't he with you?"
"He got killed while protecting me..."
"What?"
"It was a few years back, we were going home from training and suddenly we got attacked by what looked like a human with a bull's head."
"What happened?"
"It charged at us with incredible speed and power. I was taken by surprise and was open to his attack; my Guardian risked his life to save mine."
"And what happened to that beast?"
"I destroyed it, I was overcome by so much anger, I fired my deluge cannon at full power without knowing it."

Silence filled the air as Sakura told her story. As they reached Ayumi's house, they saw a big car pull up in front of it. Wondering who it was, the girls stood there expecting someone to get off the car. Joy filled their faces as the door opened and they saw the princess step out. The princess looked slightly surprised to see them there and ran to them.

"Sakura! Ayumi! It's so good to see you again!"
"Princess Evie! What are you doing here?
"It's been a long time since we saw each other so I decided to pay you girls a visit."
"Please come in princess."
"Please make yourself at home."
"Don't worry about me. I'm the one that bought you this house after all."
"Both of us are really grateful to you for doing all this for us." Sakura bows humbly to the princess.
"Have a cup of tea, princess." Ayumi brings a hot cup of tea to the table.
"So this is the princess huh?" Thought Sera.
"Please girls, do not be so formal with me. You can call me by name."
"But you're the..."
"I've looked upon both of you as my friends; please call me by my name."

The two girls nod their heads as princess sipped slowly from the cup. Sera stood behind and saw some scratch marks on her neck.
"Ayumi, the princess has some scratch marks on her neck."

Ayumi nods her head to Sera and continues to join in the conversation.
"Princess, I notice you have some scratch marks on your neck. Did something happen?"

Hearing this, the princess hurriedly covers her neck with her hands. Sensing something was amiss; Sakura walks over to her and removes her hand. Sakura gasps in shock as she sees he marks.
"These weren't made by humans were they?'

The princess didn't answer and looks to the ground.
"Princess since you see us as your friends you must tell us what happened to you."

Sera thinks for a moment and whispers something to Ayumi. She looks shocked after hearing what Sera said.
"Were those marks made by a werewolf?"
The princess looks up in surprise and stares at both of them.

After a while the princess nods her head and the two girls open their mouths in shock.
"Why?"
"How?"
"Before I answer you, I must ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Are both of you angels?"

Ayumi drops her cup and Sakura nearly spits out what she was drinking.
"How did she...?" thought Sera.
