Mia Theresa Valenti's Journal

The vision of an angelic couple sneaking off for a tryst had started out almost enchanting in its beauty, the first blush of young love enhancing the divine glow which bathed the winged couple as they drew together in a passionate embrace.

So sudden and overwhelmingly savage was the attack, that they never had a chance to defend themselves, to even react. Talon and fang ripped gleefully into flesh, blood raining down on carefully manicured gardens.

The attack changed, the beasts' form seeming to shift with its intent. A glittering crystal blade appeared in the predators grey fist, its movements becoming more deliberate as it dismembered the angels, the blade, bathed with blood, seemed to glow red as it caught the light. Devouring and sculpting with grotesque artistry, it began to rearrange the parts, transforming a miracle into an abomination.

Mia sat bolt upright with a gasp as she jerked awake, her eyes huge and dark with horrified shock. The smell of blood lingered heavy and metallic on her tongue, and she clapped a hand over her mouth. Stumbling out from between the sheets, she staggered into the en suite where she collapsed to her knees, and retched into the toilet, tears rolling down her ashen cheeks.

At long last the sobs wracking her body subsided, and she stood up, clutching onto the vanity until she was sure she would keep her balance. She rinsed her mouth, trying to rid herself of the taste of blood and bile which lingered even now.

Finally, she reached into the cupboard, withdrawing a container of salt, and walking into the bedroom on unsteady feet, she drew a ring of salt on the floor and cast a protective circle. Only then did she sit down, and cast her spirit from her body, seeking out an Angel she knew well...

Returning to her body a while later, Mia sat on her floor for several long moments, becoming used to the feeling of being back together again. Finally she rose, broke her circle, and, picking up her phone, sat down on her bed to call Denver.
