Even Angels Fall Sometimes

The next three days were calm, and there was only one minor encounter with the Wabaku. Angel was recovering rapidly, and her side, once they had re-stitched it, also began healing quickly. After being in the hospital for three days, she’d finally gotten the approval to go home, and now she was waiting for Selene to come pick her up. Sathe was with her, and they were sitting on the edge of her bed, talking and laughing.

Suddenly, there was an evil laugh in her head. Well, well, well, Princess. I see you’re still alive after all. Kane will be so disappointed.

Yazmina, Angel snarled, and from the look of hatred on Sathe’s face, she was projecting into his mind as well.

All day long, she replied, and Angel could just imagine how she’d toss her thick black hair back over her shoulder. She was so fond of that little gesture. So, how’s your mom? Have you talked to her in the past twenty, thirty minutes?

What do you mean?

There was another laugh, dripping with hate and malicious glee. I do believe you’ll have to find another ride home.

Angel jumped to her feet, her star glowing. If you touched a hair on my mother’s head…

I’ll just say this, your Majesty…history repeats itself, Yazmina sneered, then her voice faded out.

“Did she just call me your…?” Angel asked out loud, and Sathe could see the blood draining from her face. Mom?! she called out frantically, reaching out mentally as far as she could.

The voice that came back was weak, as if calling from a great distance. Angel frowned, able to pinpoint Selene’s location, and it wasn’t that far. Angelina?

Where are you? Are you okay?

I was on my way to pick you up, but a car blew through their red light and slammed into me. Someone had cut the seatbelt almost the whole way through, and it broke the rest of the way in the accident, Selene explained, her voice seeming to grow even weaker. Angel asked if she was okay. Everything is in your and Sathe’s hands now. It’s up to the two of you, and the others to save our worlds.

Tears filled Angel’s eyes as clouds suddenly gathered outside, rain sprinkling down gently at first, then it suddenly came pouring down in thick sheets. I can’t do this without you.

Of course you can. It’s in your blood. Her voice began fading even faster. I love you, Angelina Storm, Princess of Solaris. No matter what happens, never forget that. The greatest joy I’ve had in either life was seeing you, my precious daughter, grow into an amazing young woman.

Angel bowed her head. I love you, too, Momma.

Selene’s presence faded completely, and Angel screamed in rage and despair. Lightning flashed and forked across the sky, thunder roaring as she hit her knees, the light from her star blazing, lighting up the entire room in an eerie glow against the sudden black darkness outside. Every Solarian on the planet felt the pain of the Queen’s passing, and Sathe heard the crying out in the halls.
