Fallen Angel


Sera enters a city that once sprung with life in every corner of every street. Never sleeping for any part of the day. Now has become a silent friend with death. Searching for subsistence in a world torn away from itself. Walking with extinction every step of her way. Staring at remnants of life humans had created for themselves to live in. Old colonies fuel fires reaching toward a black sky. She has to search not only for the survival of the human race but also for herself. To give her comfort if and when she finds one who is still themself and not one she is going to have to kill for no reason but for her own protection. Someone who has survived a bombardment of flying destruction in a shell. A creature willing to make life for the safety of it's own race.

Sera began to move with nearby warfare on the other side. Running through uncharted territory a sniper clips her shoulder from behind. Bleeding Sera ran to a nearby crevice and tore part of her shirt off to wrap around her wound. Pieces of shattered glass from an old mirror slightly cut her hand when she dove for cover. Steadily rising the glass around the corner she could see the sniper take out a family trying to escape. With the sniper occupied, an opportunity opened. Sera held her pistol with ease and took one shot. A body fell from the tower plummeting to the ground. Coming out of the hollow she rushed to the family on the ground. A father lies dead and a mother with her young child in her grasp crying. But a wound deep inside the mother's body, is bleeding endlessly slowly taking her life. The mother said, "Take my child and keep him safe." Now holding an infant in Sera's arms, she began to cry. Having no remorse to kill has become weakened. Realizing her emotions she had held down for so long that used to be a faint memory in the back of her mind. But knowing her emotions could possibly kill her if she became too weak with them. For Sera has faced emotional distress before and puts it behind her once again. But now with a responsibility to keep a young child from the hands of death.
