The Fantasy War:Angels .v.s. Demons
Hi my name is Saphira Collins. I am a half demon half angel, my brothers and i were the only ones to survive the Fantasy war. I got to start on what happened on my 16th birthday which for our family is called day of the demon i was an angel up to the day of my 16th birthday. The day of my 16th birthday was the day i gained my demon side her name is Brittany. I have two twin brothers both alike and they have that freaky telepathic thing. I was born on July 4th 1997 in the angel world i have fire orange red hair and ice blue eyes. I am the twin of a girl on earth her name is Briana Messier. Very few people are born human and if they are they are paired with an angel for some safety reasons. I hear there is going to be a war between angels and demons and that its gonna happen before i die.
My brother, Jonathan and his twin brother Nick were both born on earth, two years before me. Jonathan and Nick have that weird twin connection. Other than their beast traits you would not be able to tell them apart they are weirdly alike scary right?!?! Yeah i live with it everyday of my life. They both have bleach blond hair and they both wear the exact same clothes color patterns brands. Jonathon had all black eyes sclera black eyes completely black whereas nicks eyes are all white no pupil. Jonathan is a full demon and nick is full angel. They swore to protect me after our parents were killed by a fallen angel nick still has a scar from protecting me. I have a protector mark from both of them. The one from Nick is a red heart with white wings coming out of it and a guardian sword in the middle.
The mark from Jonathan is a red heart with black devil horns and a black tail with the point at the end and a guardian sword in the middle my brothers are amazing protectors. My parents were attacked and killed while everyone was asleep at our house. Nick and Jonathan were 8 yrs old at the time, i was 6 yrs old and me and my brothers shared a room. i screamed and ran over to nick’s bed curled against him shaking and i'm crying lightly. The man who killed our parents walked into our room. My brothers woke up. Nick first, then he got slashed across his chest. Johnathan, by then, had snuck up behind the fallen angel man and killed him.
I have stayed with my brothers ever since, I mean, they are all I have left anyways. I do have a couple more people in my life. My boyfriend, Alex Thomaston. He has a brother named Tommy. Tommy is a close friend of mine. They are half-demon, half-angel. Alex and I are always spending time together, if I’m not training with Jonathan and Nick, trying to fight for my life. Alex and I go fallen angel hunting together. I felt the demon side enter me as I was blowing out the birthday candles on my cake. I gasped and then collapsed to the ground holding my chest, screaming in extreme pain.
Alex, Nick, and Jonathan all ran to my side, yelling my name as I growled at them. Alex and Jonathan yell “Nick, get back! It’s her day of the demon!” Nick backs away saying things like “it will be ok” and “the pain will stop soon, don’t worry.” I growl, my fangs are growing in. My hair that’s normally as reddish-orange as fire is turning pitch black. My normally ice-blue eyes are black as night. Jonathan yells “hit the ground!” Nick lays on the ground and Alex follows suit. Tommy opens the house door. I scream and this nuclear bomb type wave of dark power runs through the air. It hits Tommy at full blast. He is thrown out the doorway.
Tommy is then thrown against the side of my car in my driveway. I fall to the floor unconscious and shaking terribly. Alex runs out to Tommy screaming his name, and Tommy falls off the side of my car. Tommy says, “little brother Alex, help me up now! Let me guess, Saphira’s day of the demon is today?” Alex says, “Yes, big brother, her day of the demon is today.” He helps Tommy into our log cabin. Nick layed next to me as I slept, so he could keep guard over me. He yells, “Everyone, come in here!” They come in, and say “Nick, what is wrong?” He says, “First off, I’m full demon now.” He points to me as I’m biting him. Jonathan gasps in complete and utter shock.
I say, “What’s wrong, everybody?” I am now fully awake. Jonathan, ignoring me, says, “we are now exact twins, Nick.” Nick looks at Jonathan, shocked. He says, “Oh my gosh! Yes, we actually are.” I say, “Guys -- hello? Can anybody hear me? Why are you igoring me?” Alex says, “Hey babe, how do you feel?” I say, “Oh look, someone’s listening. And to answer your question, I feel like crap. Everything I do or say is painful.” Tommy says, “That is normal after your demon appears, because your body must get used to the new amount of power.” I nod, and try to stand, but fall down to my knees, weakened from before. He tells me to stay down and rest. Jonathan says, “Bro, you’re shaking. Go take a walk and calm down for me. I will watch her, just be careful.”
Nick walks out and goes for a walk in the woods, outside the log cabin. Angels surround him; Light is everywhere as he screams in pain. He holds his hand out straight at the angels. They then turn to ash. He looks at his hand, shocked, that this just really happened. Jonathan heard Nick yell and scream. I run with Tommy, Jonathan, and Alex, even though I am weak. We follow Nick’s yell and run to his side when we find him. He has burn marks from all the light that surrounded him. The burn marks are everywhere. I place a hand on the burn mark that is the worst, and it starts to heal. The black in my eyes comes back and I clutch my chest, saying, “Nick, don’t leave me! Hang on! I will heal you.” My hair turns black as Jonathan pulls me away, and forces me to sleep.
Jonathan carries me towards the cabin. Nick walks behind him, as he is now able to since I healed him. I groan in pain and feel extreme hunger. I hear Nick come up behind Jonathan and me. I say to Jonathan in a whisper, “Turn around slowly.” He does so, as I pull out my sword, and we turn to see as my sword is against Nick’s neck. I scream, “Nick! Drop the sword and hug him,” and then say, “Nick, I didn’t think I could do it, I was scared I would lose you.” He kisses my forehead, and says, “Little sister, thank you for helping me.” I just mumble, “You’re welcome.” I collapse and Nick catches me. He carries me inside, bridal style, slow and cautious, like he’s afraid I’m going to break. He says to Jonathan's mind, “Bro, you guard the door. I’m going to go lay down with Saphira until she falls asleep. Give Alex and Tommy our guest bedrooms.” Jonathan and Nick have the weird twin telepathy thing. I never get away with anything because I have telepathic twin brothers. I curl tighter into Nick’s arm, for some reason. He has always loved watching me sleep. I guess it makes him feel like I am safe. Jonathan says to Nick’s mind, “OK, I trust you. We’ll keep our little sister safe.” I smile, happily, when he said that, because they both call me “little sister.”
The next day, the Fantasy War started, and we were not in it at first. We are a family of half-demon, half-angels. You can not make us take a side. I cringe, then wake up. Nick had fallen asleep, laying next to me. So much for guard duty. He wakes up and says, “Oh, good morning little sister.” “Good morning, big brother” I say. “How did you sleep, little sister?” “I slept very well, big brother.” Johnathan runs in and screams, “Nick! It has started! They killed Tommy! He’s a pile of ash on our doorstep!” I scream, “What!?” I hear Alex scream out in agony for his lost brother. Nick, Alex, and Jonathan say at the same time: “Let’s join this.”
Alex says, “The angels killed him.” I scream, “Angela! Get out of me now!” She gets ripped out of me, and I start screaming at her. I say, “How dare you? You let them hurt Tommy, Angela!” I say, “I trusted you when you said you would protect them until my death.” She says, “Saphira, I’m sorry. I tried to stop them, but they knocked me unconscious, and one of them ripped out my wings.” I say, “Awwww. Well, guess what? I don’t care, get out!” She says, “I guess I am no use to the likes of you. As you can see, I’m a fallen angel now, so I have no life light to live off of anymore.” I collapse to the ground, weakened that my angel I’ve had since birth is gone.
Nick runs over and picks me up. Nick says, “I am also not your real brother; Tommy and Jonathan are. I’m Alex’s real brother. I’ve also wanted to tell you, Saphira, I have a huge crush on you.” I gasp, and say, “Oh my gosh!” I say, “I have felt the same way about you, Nick, for so long.” I walk over and he kisses my cheek, as I cry in agony, saying “Tommy, I’m sorry, I could have stopped them from killing you, big brother. If only I had been there to save you.” Nick says, “Saphira, shhhhh. It’s okay. You still have Johnathan left, and I promise you, he isn’t going anywhere.”
Alex says, “We were planning to tell you today, but later, because I was worried you would be angry.” I say, “Alex, I am not angry. I’m shocked. I just found out my brother is not my real brother, and that my real brother is dead. I also found out that brother who isn’t my brother, likes me.” I say, “I just need to rest.” I lay against Nick and fall asleep as he plays with my hair. Alex says, “Bro, is she going to be okay? She seems depressed or upset.” Nick says, “She will be fine, brother. She has just found out a lot of information at one time; That’s a lot of pressure.”
Alex says, “Lay her in bed, then we have to go.” Nick lays me on the bed, and says, “Here’s the plan: We go out there and destroy those angels, because they are the ones trying to hurt Saphira. We must protect her at all costs. Her powers, when released, can destroy an army all at one time.” They walk out of the cabin doors, Alex first, and then Jonathan. Nick is standing on the roof. His now black wings are open.
He yells, “Those who stand against the Collins’ and the Thomastons will be destroyed. You must go through the three of us before you can see our beloved Saphira Alice Collins.” All the angels gasped when they heard my name. They all start whispering to each other. Johnathan’s blonde hair turns black along with Nick’s and Alex’s. Their eyes all turn fully black, and their demon tails poke out from above their waists. The two vampire-like fangs grow in. The angels say, “Are you guys done yet? That Saphira girl is a monster. We will destroy her.”
Nick says, “Not if I have anything to do with it!!!!” A ball of burgundy light surrounds Nick’s fists. He says, “I would like to see you try to touch my girlfriend.” Lime green balls of light surround Alex’s hands. Jonathan has golden balls of light around his fists. He says, “Sorry, weakling pains-in-my-butt, you can’t have my sister.” The angels say, “Oh really? We are pure light, and you are pure darkness. There is no way you can win.” Alex says, “Where there is light there must always be dark. It is the grand shadow of the world.”
The angels say, “You’re outnumbered by a lot. We have about a million troops. You are only three; You don’t stand a chance.” Nick, Jonathan, and Alex yell, “We don’t care! We will protect her with our lives.” The angels say, “Then prepare to perish.” They shoot all light at the house. I appear in front of the house and yell, “I don’t think so!” I absorb all the light, scream, then collapse. I’m in pain, and in a sort-of daze. The light is all throughout my body, and even surrounding me. Nick jumps down off the roof, and starts to run to my side, but an angel picks me up before he can get to me. The angel’s name is Gabriel, a long-time enemy of Nick’s. Gabriel and Nick were best friends when they were little. Then Gabriel found out that Nick is what is called a fallen angel. They are like fallen angels except they still have wings. Dark angels bond with darkness instead of with light. Darkness doesn’t mean evil, just as light doesn’t mean light either. Nick and Gabriel were always fighting as little kids to see who was the stronger one. They eventually became enemies and then they started fighting each other all the time. Gabriel became one of the queen’s royal guard as Nick became one of the Collins family. He pretended to be Tommy so that he could be near me to protect me. He was told i was his only assignment when he was little. He has been near me ever since. Gabriel carries me into the middle of the angel army.
I hear Nick yell my name as Gabriel carries me into the army. Jonathan, Alex, and Nick start fighting. Nick uses that power he has with his hands: whatever he points it towards turns to ash. Jonathan and Alex use their best technique: sword fighting. Nick reaches me and Gabriel. I’m unconscious and twitching on the ground as he drains my powers. His hands are glowing. A black mist is leaving my body and all I can feel right now is extreme pain. I scream, as the last bits of my power go into Gabriel, terror in my eyes. What Gabriel doesn’t know, is I can and will destroy him.
Nick pulls me out of Gabriel’s arms and I mumble, “Nick, ground.” Angels pull me out of his arms, they then restrain Nick. They pull his hands behind his back. I open my eyes. They’re blood red. I say, “You angels never leave us alone. It’s so frustrating. Now you will pay for what you have done to my friends and family.” Nick yells, “Bro! Johnathan! Hit the ground!” But sadly, the angels grab them and restrain them both. I scream and release my greatest power: my demon soul. It moves through the angels like a wave. Dead angels are falling to the ground and turning to ash, everywhere.
I hear and see Nick, Alex, and Jonathan fall to the ground. Then my eyes close, and I slip into a coma. Gabriel falls to the ground, but had been protected from the blast, because he had my powers. Nick, Alex, and Jonathan all run to my side. I can hear their feet hitting the ground. Nick says, “She is breathing, but faintly.” Gabriel starts to get up and walk towards all of us. Nick looks at him with a very angered face. Nick just holds his hand up towards Gabriel and watches in happiness as he turns to ash. Then, Nick crawls to my side. He is now very weak. My powers leave Gabriel and flow back into me. I am then able to wake up; I slowly open my eyes. They are my once normal blue. Nick just mumbles, saying, “Alex, is she awake?” Alex says, “Yes, she is. Don’t worry. She’ll be okay, brother.”
I say, “Brother.. Help… So much light….” Jonathan walks over and lightly touches my arm, and pulls the light right out of me. I grimace a little, but then I’m fully healed. I sit up and say “Did we win? Are they gone?” I see Nick lying still on the ground. I freak out and scream. I say, “I can heal him. Don’t worry guys, he’s going to live.” I start frantically trying to heal him. It works, and he wakes up, full of power and fully healed. He stops me from healing him any more. I stroke his black wings as I fall into a peaceful sleep. Jonathan says, “The war is over. It was the last four demons against all the angels in the world. The demons won. What do we do now, Nick?” Nick says, “Now we can finally live a normal life.” Angela walks up and says, “Not if I’m still alive.”
I say, “Let me handle this one.” I stand up out of Nick’s arms and pull an enchanted bow off my back. I wrap pure darkness around the arrow. I notch it, and just let it fly. It hits Angela’s wings. They start to turn to ash. She looks at me with the same terror that Tommy had when he died. I say, “Well, guess what? It’s your fault you didn’t protect my friends. Now you shall meet the same fate as my brother did.” Seconds later, she’s a pile of ash on the ground, just like every other angel. I say, “Now our lives can be sort of normal.” Alex says, “What do you mean by sort of?” I say, “We’re a family of demons. Our lives can never be normal, because then we would be humans. Also, even at that, humans aren’t normal. They’re all unique, different, or special in some type of way. Tree bark would be normal compared to anything.”
“Angels, Demons, Halflings, and even Humans have something they fight for, someone or something they live for, The only difference between me and them is that I actually found out what my someone or something is.”
