Angels and Saviors and Whatnot

It was day 7 out in the woods with CC and we had somehow managed to survive for this long. CC knew more about the wilderness than I did and he had found some edible berries and leaves here and there. But, we were tired of berries, and we went hunting for meat.

“Remember, stay low and don’t make a sound,” I remember him telling me. We were hunting for anything on four legs and we had make-shift spears at our side. The gun used to kill the zombies had run out of bullets after many failed attempts to kill a deer, and the little spears were all we had left.

“The animal can sense your vibration in the ground. Don’t move too fast or they could run away. Always keep your head low and don’t over shoot the spear.” He crouched low to the ground and pulled me with him.

“Don’t step on any twigs, but don’t lose sight of your target,” he whispered. CC was looking straight ahead at the deer that was feeding on the grass that stuck out through the dead leaves. He gripped the spear so hard his knuckles turned white and he scrunched up his nose trying not to breathe too heavily. He raised the spear above his head and threw it, crouching back down to see his result.

“Direct hit!” He yelled, chasing after the spear with myself hot on his heels. The deer was lying on the ground, the spear jutting out of its lifeless body. CC grabbed the spear and pulled, leaving a blood trail behind it.

“Right in the heart too,” he said, holding up the spear triumphantly, almost shoving it in my face. On the end of the pointed rock was a jumble of the deer’s heart, bleeding and squishing its way down to the bottom of the stick.

“CC that’s nasty, get it away from me,” I said, pushing the heart away from my face. He smirked and waved it around my face, yelling “Come on! It can’t be that bad!”

I swatted the organ away from me and ran away from the deranged psycho with a deer heart. I looked back and saw CC laughing and skinning the deer. I shuddered and kept walking, making sure not to get too far away from CC.

“Where are you going?” CC asked, sounding concerned.

“Just for a short walk, I have things to think about.”

“Don’t think too hard, you’ll hurt yourself like last time,” he said, laughing as I gave him the finger.

I smiled and hummed to myself as I walked. I was lucky to have CC around, otherwise I would be dead. I felt grateful and in debt somehow. He saved me from the zombie monster who tried to kill me, more than once. And I needed to repay him. Maybe a new set of drums? He’s always liked to play, he’s just never devoted himself to playing. Hm…

The sound of flapping wings caught my wandering mind, and I looked up to see if a bird was caught in a tree or something. The flapping got louder and louder until I saw them.

Big. Black. Wings.

“Andy?” I whispered, too astonished for any other words.

“Allison! Allison, are you here!?” His deep voice rang through my head and sounded like beautiful church bells, at least to me.

“Andy! Andy I’m right here!” I flailed my arms above my head, trying to give him some sort of signal as to where I was. I saw the wings make a parachute for his body, and he landed a couple yards away from me. Andy turned around, his crystal blue eyes aimed at my green ones, and he ran towards me with that lop-sided grin of his.

“Alli Cat! God I’ve missed you so much!” He wrapped his now tattooed arms around my body and I hugged him back, breathing in the familiar smoke and Axe. He lifted my face and kissed anywhere he could get to, lips, chin, eyes, nose, everywhere. I gave him my ‘look’ that said ‘Kiss me you idiot’ and he brought his snake bit lips down to mine. He knew exactly what I wanted, nothing more than a long, simple kiss that stated “I love you more than I can ever scream.”

“I’ve missed you so much Andy,” I said, pulling away from the kiss and burying my head into his muscular chest. I looked up into his blue eyes and smiled, seeing that they were a deeper blue than the last time I saw him. They were a mixture of sapphire and turquoise and it was the prettiest thing I have ever seen. I noticed that he hadn’t retracted his wings yet, but I didn’t mind, they were sexy.

“Come on, I need to introduce you to the guy who saved my life, multiple times.” I smiled and grabbed Andy’s hand, leading him towards CC’s direction.

When we got back to the sight of the deer murder, I found that CC had started a fire and was cooking the meat from the mammal. When he looked up and saw myself and the Angel, his eyes got wide and he stood up immediately.

“Alli, who is this, they could hurt you,” he said cautiously.

“CC. This is Andy. My boyfriend.” I said the words slowly so he could understand the situation. “He’s an Angel, a Fallen Angel. He was sent here to protect me from my father. Remember that ‘made up’ conversation I was having in my head? Yeah, they have telepathic powers.” I looked up at Andy and said “Andy, this is CC, the man who saved my life.”

Andy bowed and spread his wings far out behind his back. He stood straight and put a fist over his heart. “I am forever in your debt CC. Thank you so much for saving Allison.”

“No problem, nice to finally meet you.” CC walked over and stuck out a hand, indicating for Andy to shake his hand. Andy gladly took it and smiled down at the skinny boy. CC smiled back and let go of his hand, going back to cater to the cooking meat.

“Andy, how did you find us all the way out here?” I was curious to know how the hell he knew where to find two lost teenagers in the woods.

“Jake tracked Sandra’s phone. We’re somewhere in the middle of Montana,” he explained, sitting down on a convenient log next to the campfire. “Don’t ask how Sandy knew, she said she could feel it in her bones.”

“I miss her,” I stated, no emotion in my voice or on my face. I had shot my best friend in order to keep myself safe. What kind of selfish person does that?

“What exactly happened? All I heard was Sandra talking in a weird voice and a gunshot.” Andy looked at me with a worried expression on his face and held out his arms, seeing the look on my face. I stumbled over to his open arms and collapsed on his lap, trying not to cry in front of him.

“The Zombie that tried to kill Alli bit Sandra. She herself started to turn into a Zombie, and the only way possible to keep Alli safe was to shoot her. I’m just sorry she had to do it herself,” CC explained, giving me a sympathetic look. I nodded and held in the tears. I was sick of crying, and I felt that it only made me weaker. Andy lifted a hand and stroked my tangled hair, rocking us back and forth slowly, humming Carolyn in my ear. His deep voice comforted me, and I relaxed into his lap.

CC turned the meat on the make-shift rotisserie he had made and pulled it off of the stick.

“Dinner’s done,” he said quietly, and we all sat in silence, eating the deer CC had cooked and exchanging hopeful glances of getting out of these stupid woods.
