“So, if they think we’re angels…real angels…what do they want from us?”

Her arently crossed over her chest, and she stared at the floor once again, her beautiful face tight in sadness She rubbed one of her arive them…for their sins”

There was no knock before the door opened

A wo herself with a posture so rigid, she didn’t seem real

I’d been sitting on the bed when she’d barged into my quarters There were books around me because I wanted to understand why they’d left thee people who thought I was literally froripped one of the books in my hand, ready to slam it down on her skull if she came too close to me

She was roughly ainst the ith two chairs, so she set the wooden tray on the surface She looked normal, a petite woman who didn’t cover her face with a skull But if she were normal, she wouldn’t be in a place like this

Whatever the fuck this place was

She straightened then turned to me, her hands clasped in front of her waist She stared for several seconds, regardingin -sleeved black shirt, dressed the way the rest of the er she looked at ether in a distinctive frown Without askingmy voice, she’d decided she hated me

Loathed me

“You aren’t in white”

I glanced down at -sleeved purple sweater I’d been wearing when I was taken There had also been a scarf, but that had disappeared I had just been relieved to see I was still clothed when I woke up, that someone hadn’t touched me without my consent

Her anger intensified “Change”

I looked at her again,at the command

She took a step closer to me, her eyes fierce “Discard your earthly form and embrace your ethereal truth”

Total nutjob

“You don’t need to hide your identity here We know exactly who you are” Her voice lowered, and not once in this standoff did she blink As if she’d put nu medication in her eyes, she didn’t need to close her eyes to fight the dryness “Don’t be afraid”

“Don’t be afraid?” I knew I should hold ue because I was at the mercy of this situation and it wasn’t s, but her statement was absolutely ludicrous “You’ve taken me from my home and locked me up in here—”

“Your holy”
