《Looed and Lost You 》_Chapter Twenty-four: My Angel_
Advertisement
"When did you say Loki was getting back?" I asked a few days later. Balthazar leaned on the kitchen table.
"He never said. But it's been longer than he planned I know that."
"You think something could have happened to him? He's not answering my calls or texts." Balthazar shrugged. "I don't think he would have put himself in harm's way. Maybe try calling him again." I dialed Loki's number and put it on speaker.
It rang until his voice mail rang through the phone. "Hello..."
"Oh thank you Loki. We've been-"
"Haha! I'll bet you started to tell me your problem." I shook my head as Balthazar looked at the phone angrily. "Anyway. I'm not answering because I find you annoying. So don't call. Ever."
Rolling my eyes at the phone I started to hang up. "See. He's not-"
"But if your Candy press two." I looked over to Balthazar. "That wasn't there yesterday." Pressing two we waited. The sound of loud banging was heard. "Cansas! If your hearing this I've been captured. I'm wounded! The angels found me. Get Balthazar and come help me!" Then the call ended.
We stared at the at the phone wide-eyed. "Cansas..." I looked over to Balthazar to see he held an angel blade. "Take this." I did.
"You think you can hold them off while I go and get others."
"Yeah."
"Alright. You go. But if there are too many come back here." I nodded and in the sound of flapping wings, he was gone. I took a deep breath and disappeared as well. I reappeared outside of an old warehouse.
Quietly I walked around to the front of the building. Shouting could be heard from inside. Standing at the front door were two men. I held my hand up and made one of the angels fall to the ground. "Maroth. What happened?" The other angel said walking over. The angel on the ground stood up and took out his angel blade.
"I think it's the Cambion of his." The other angel took his blade out and they got ready to fight. I then made them both fly into a dumpster. As they were getting up I ran over to them.

"Sidriel! Look out!" Maroth shouted but it was too late. I bought the down into Sidriel's neck. Bright blue lights shot out of his mouth and eyes as he screamed.
When they went out he fell dead to the ground. I stood back up only to be punched in the face making me fly back and hit the ground hard. I looked up to find Maroth eyes were blue. He seemed to be in some kind of trance. But that didn't last long. Two other angels appeared in the sound of flapping wings behind me and one kicked me back on the ground.
They held me down as Maroth walked over holding a silver ring. When he got closer with it I could see runes I didn't know engraved in it. The ring-opened and I realized too late that it was a collar. He clasped it on my neck and the two other angels got off.
I stood up fast and tried to get it off. It made me feel weak, helpless. When the collar didn't come off I held my hand up at them. Nothing happened. I looked at my hand. What happened to my power?
The angels before me laughed. "I'm shaking in fear. Oh please, don't kill us." One of the angels said with a smirked. I looked to see my angel blade on the ground between us and I made a dive for it. The one angel kicked me in the face and I flew back. That hurt more than last time.
With a groan, I tried sitting up but another angel kicked me down. He kicked me once more and I lay there in pain. "W-what did you do?"
"We blocked your powers. All you have going for you at the moment is your humanity." The first angel said. Maroth then picked me up by the tuft of my shirt and dragged me towards the warehouse.
The doors opened and he dragged me in. "Is that the Cambion?" A voice asked.
"Yes, sir," Maroth said lifting me up so I could see the face of what I believed to be his leader. "Good." He smirked.
"Put it over there and chain it down." Maroth nodded and dragged me over to a corner. "C-Cansas? Let her go! You can have me just le-" The voice, which was Loki's, said but was cut off when he growled in pain.

"Shut up."
Maroth chained me down and walked over to his leader. I looked over to see Loki's arms chained above him. He was covered in blood and cuts. But what made me freeze up was the six golden brown wings that came out of his back. I know those wings...
Loki-or Gabriel looked over to me. "Cansas-" He was cut off when another angel punched him across the face with an angel blade. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. How the Hell could he!
"Well. Isn't this sweet. A little reunion. You two must be so glad to see each other again. Oh, wait. You two haven't left each other's side." The leader said with a smirk. "That must hurt. To know he was there the whole time. He lied right to your face."
I tried to blink away the tears but it didn't help. Gabriel's face was guilt-ridden and sad. The leader of the group walked over to me and grabbed a handful of my hair. He pulled me up and I hissed in pain. I tried to bring my chained hands up but they were stopped.
"Is this the thing you were trying to keep safe, Gabriel?"
"Elyon. Don't you dare." Gabriel growled.
"Oh but I think I might. She's killed two of my flock members. And it would be so satisfying to see your face once I kill her." I tried pulling away but without my powers, he was stronger than me.
"It's alright. I'll make it as slow and painful as I can." He then plunged the blade into my side and I screamed. Blood ran fast.
"NO!" Gabriel shouted trying to get out of the chains he was in. But he was stopped when an angel punched him. Elyon smiled at this and plunged the blade into my side again. I screamed again and when he pulled the blade out I whimpered in pain.
"Please! Please stop!"
"It's alright Gabriel. It's almost over." Elyon then brought the blade over my heart and started to dig it into my skin. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but it only made it worst.
Before Elyon could kill me the doors to the warehouse were blasted opened and in ran Balthazar with several other people. Elyon growled as he watched his flock try to fight them off.
"Retreat!"
He let me go and I fell to the ground in a bloody heap. I rolled over onto my back in pain and looked to my bleeding side. It was the worst of it. I placed my hands over the wounds and heard several wings flapping. The fighting stopped and someone ran over to me. It was Balthazar.
He knelt down next to me. "Oh, Cansas." He took the collar off and I instantly felt somewhat better as my powers flowed over me. "Is she going to be alright Balthazar! Tell me she's not dead." I heard Gabriel shout over to him. I bent my leg up as an uncomfortable wave of healing washed over my wounds.
Gabriel sighed heavily. Balthazar helped me sit up. "Is there any way I can help with the healing?" He asked placing a hand on my back. I shook my head. "No. No just help me up." He looked at me concerned and then helped me stand.
I turned to see Gabriel was being held up by one of the angels that had come in. "Cansas-"
"How dare you," I said angrily. I had to fight back the tears that came to my eyes. I tried walking but winched in pain. I used Balthazar as support. "If I could walk I would kill you here and now." Gabriel's eyes seemed to water up.
"YOU LEFT ME!"
The ground shook with my rage.
"Why?"
My voice breaking as a wave of sadness washed over me. It was eerily quiet in the room. "F-for you..." Tears ran down my cheeks.
"Then why did you come back? Why didn't you say anything? WHY?" My sadness and anger clashed with each other.
Gabriel slightly pushed the angel that was holding him up so he could stand on his own.
"I-I told you...I said I would come back..."
The memory of the day he left rang through my mind. It was all too much. And my wounds weren't helping. So I let unconsciousness take me over.
"Cansas!"

Survival Recommended
The universe is destroyed and its inhabitants are thrown into Existence. Eli finds himself in a new world, with a new body, and a System that's more interested in how he'll die. Follow him on his journey of survival in Realms above ours. The story is already completely planned as far as major plot elements go, and it's LONG, chinese novel long. The premise isnt exactly the most original, but after a couple chapters you won't mistake it for any other novel. Be warned this has little in the way of childish wish fufillment and lots of characters are going to die, so don't get too attached. As this is my first attempt at writing, the begining will probably be a bit rough. Please don't shy from criticisms, and I plan to rewrite most of the begining chapters as I get better.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
