Fallen

The fallen angel lays on the ground, wrapped in his black wings. It was cold and he had no shirt on. He looked up and the collar on his neck slightly moves to rest at the base of his neck comfortably.

His eyes were gray and he had a look of sorrow on his face. He wishes to be forgiven. He prays to The Lord, and he wishes to be freed.

He slowly stands on shaky legs. His wings wrap tighter around him.

A girl slowly walk towards him and he remembers why he fell.

He had fallen in love with a human, he raised her higher than the rest.

The girl lays her hand softly on his cheek and a tear trails down his face.

He wants nothing more than to keep her safe.

He opens his wings, just enough to where he is able to pull the girl to his chest. He wraps her in his wings keeping her warm.

She rest her head on his chest and relax in the comfort of him.

There is a rustling of wings behind them and the girl turns around to see a man with golden wings.

"We can not permit him to live, he has broken the laws." The arc angle said as he walks towards the fallen angle.

"Xavier, you are to be put to death immediately."

"Please no." She says, tears choking her voice. She clings to Xavier and she can feel the love that she has for him swell up.

"Please, I love him." She said

"I am sorry, he has broken the laws." The angel says.

"Gabriel, please not in front of her " Xavier pleaded.

Gabriel holds out his hand and a sword of fire materializes. She try's to hold back a sob but it is no use.

She can't stand to see her one true love be killed.

"Please Gabriel, if you kill him you kill me." she said as she clings to Xavier.

A look of pure fury passes over Gabriel's face as he points the sword at the girl and Xavier.

Her heart leaps to her throat and a scream is ripped out of her as Gabriel brings the sword back.

She wants Xavier to know how much she loves him, as Gabriel swings the sword towards them the girl kisses Xavier one last time putting as much love into the kiss as she can.

She hears a grunt and turn around. Gabriel is on the ground his wings sprawled out from him trying to catch himself.

There was a glowing globe around her and Xavier.

A strangled cry came from Xavier as she sees his wings grow and turn a gray color.

Gabriel stood slowly and said in a bitter tone "The Lord must favor you both, or your love is too pure. Xavier you are permitted to live but only as long as your love for rose is pure." He says.

Rose looks at Xavier and she sees the collar go gray and loosen.

He is free, free to be with her and free to live.
