Fallen Angel [Oceanwolf]

[Angel]

Guns, the sound of bullets firing made the young girl duck, hiding in the bushes and staying as still as she could. She had made the mistake of going out alone and now she was paying for it. Maybe this time, her life would end. A cry escaped from her lips as she crawled, catching her wing on a branch and ripping feathers. As she stood up and brushed the dirt off her pants, Angel began to run again, zipping through the trees and opening her wings to fly. [bockquote]Flight would help her, it would get her to safety. She believed in that and as she flapped her wings to rise into the air, something ripped through her wing, making her fall like a stone, landing in a heap on the ground. Blood gushed from the wound and Angel knew she couldn't fly with her damaged wing. "Uh oh." Angel whispered as hot tears formed in her eyes from the pain. Quickly, she started moving again, her wing feeling like it was on fire.

Hiding behind a tree, Angel knelt down and grabbed her wing. "Target has been shot and unable to move. The bullet went through her wing." Angel looked around at the voices owner, a male in army gear with a gun in his hands. Max. Angel thought, wondering if she would ever get to see her mother figure and sister. And the rest of the flock, her family, what would they do if she never came back? Angel didn't want to die. She couldn't! Silent sobs came from the young girl as she held onto her wing, wishing she could fly.[/blockquote]

Like she did almost every day Oceanwolf strolled through the forests, looking for any sign of trouble. This was usually around the time when she turned back but that was when she heard bullet shots and a strong scent of blood in the air. This was not a good thing, not now, not ever. The wolf girl ran towards the source of the scent, hoping she could get there before it was to late.

When The wolf girl came upon the seen she backed off a little bit,seeing a little winged girl bleeding from her wings. Her scent was similar to that of Xelious and other Avian Hybrids from the labs so Emerald identified her immediately as such. The little one couldn't be any older that 6, she was so small an helpless and she was crying.

Oceanwolf could clearly smell gunpowder and when she gazed over at the man in army gear. He had a gun and it was still smoking, she thought about the girl for only a second before a smile crept across her face, all of her wolven teeth showing.

"I will be right back pup, I'm just going to take care of something." The wolf girl told Angel, smiling sweetly.

She the started a slow deliberate walk towards the army guy, who seemed a bit preoccupied with telling his squad on the walkie talkie what a good job he did. When he finally did see the wolf girl it was when her fist collided with his stomach. Emerald then grabbed his arm and ran with him full force at a tree, breaking his arm almost completely off. The man screamed in pain, holding his arm.

Emerald glared at him for a moment, but then forgetting about the gun, he shot her in the shoulder, causing her the snarl in pain. However, with her anger it didn't take long before she charged at him again, this time, she grabbed him by the throat with her teeth, morphing into her wolf form. Just like that, Emerald bit down hard and broke the mans neck, killing him almost instantly.

After turning back into her human form she took one of her various old bandannas from her pocket and wrapped it sloppily around her own shoulder. Then She took out her tea thermos, which was filled with water and drank a little bit, trying to clean the blood out of her mouth.

Now, Emerald walked back over to Angel, tail wagging back and forth slowly. She keeled in front of the child with a concerned look on her face.

A kid...how dare someone try to hurt a little one. She couldn't have done anything wrong enough or that moron to shoot her. I'm glad she didn't see any of that, I don't want another child to be scarred for life. I hope she isn't scared of me like all the other people I have met lately. Emerald thought, smiling lightly at Angel.

"Hey Pup do you want some water? " She asked before holding out one of the bandannas she had soaked in the water. "Do you want me to clean up your wound for you?"

Though despite the fact the girl hadn't yet answered Emerald started cleaning her up anyways. It was strange to see the big bad wolf girl this caring about someone, but this was only a child. A child who needed to be cared for and not experimented on by some psychos. She put pressure to the wound to try to get it to stop bleeding, but not to much.

[Angel]

I’m glad she didn’t see any of that, I don’t want another child to be scarred for life. I hope she isn’t scared of me like all the other people I have met lately. Emerald’s thoughts came in loud and clear as Angel huddled on the ground, her teeth clenched together, trying to fight off the pain. “Don’t worry.” She gave a short laugh that sounded more like a moan. “I’ve seen worse.” She gave a toothy grin that fell quickly. Max! she cried in her own mind. Where are you?

It wasn’t unusual for Angel to be hurt, she was a member of the Flock after all and she got in just as many scraps as her brothers and sisters, but never had she been so hurt and alone and so very far away. She didn’t even know where she was anymore, the men had chased her too far into the forest.

Angel watched the wolf girl, though Emerald was a wolf-hybrid, Angel was hard pressed to call her an Eraser, still, she could help but suppress the shutter that ran through her small body as the girl advanced on her. There wasn’t a single bad thought running through the wolf’s mind, yet old habits die hard, and it was with guarded reluctance that Angel took the water bottle and allowed her wing to be looked at.

A child who needed to be cared for and not experimented on by some psychos. Again the thoughts filtered through Angel’s mind. She couldn’t help but giggle even as she winced away from the pressure. ”I can take care of myself.” she said proudly, she gave a scowl that would make Max beam. “I could have taken those guys if I had wanted to.” Her big, blue eyes watch the wolf with curiosity, she didn’t seem too bad, still, Max had always taught Angel to be cautious of strangers. ”I’m Angle.”

The wolf girl smiled lightly at Angel, actually believing the little girl could take care of herself. Em had seen younger kids take down idiots like him so she wouldn’t have been surprised if Angel had taken the guy down in a few quick Arial punches. She took one of her old blue bandana’s from her pocket and wrapped it around the girls wound, making good as a makeshift bandage for her.

”Nice to meet you Angel, the name is Emerald Lupin,” Emerald responded, her tail wagging back and forth. Her grin widened a bit, a clearly playful wolfy look.” I know you could have taken care of them, but you have to let me have some fun now don’t ya?”

It was quite obvious that Emerald had no idea that Angel was reading her mind, ethier that or she didn’t really care considering the fact that she loved kids. This was a rather odd thing, considering the fact that Emerald looks so rough and tumble as well as a little scary that she was really a big softy for little ones. In truth, Angel sort of reminded her of Ruby when she was younger, which made the she wolf get slightly more attached to her.

“Hey kiddo, what are you doing out this far away from town? Did you just escape the labs or something? “

The thought of the labs made the female pull her denim jacket closer to her body a little, shuddering at the thought of them. The scars on her back from the punishments a constant reminder of where she came from and the pain she had suffered over the years.

“Do you have…somewhere you need to go to be safe? Because my place isn’t to far from here and if there are more guys looking for you, it would be the safest place for you to go at the moment.”

Emerald felt intense worry and protectiveness for the younger girl, though she was a bit paranoid. Most of the time when she walked up to kids, they were kind of scared of her wolfish appearance even if she didn’t wag her tail or morph. She hated it, she always had and always will. The wolf girl didn’t want Angel to be afraid of her, she just wanted to help.
