Friends or Foes
I opened my eyes wondering if I was dead but instead I hear a girl screaming.
"Get off of me, you freakin' spirit. Where the hell did you come from." Maria was on the ground trying to fight off a feline-demon.
"You are going to have to go through me if you can hurt my mistress and her friend." Wait was that Lucifer.
"Lucifer! That's enough." I said coming out of the closet trying to help Ren out.
'Mistress, I'm so glad that you're safe. I would have come earlier but something was blocking me from coming. Thank you for calling me; don't worry I'm make sure this pigeon doesn't hurt you again."
"It's okay, but thank you for coming. You better go back to the spirit world."
"no can do ma'am. Ren is clearly hurt and not well enough to protect you, so I'll be here for the time being. Also I don't trust you being close to that pigeon."
I pet Lucifer on his head and her transformed back into a normal cat. I never realized how scary he looked until he turned back to normal. His pupils were small to give off an insane look and his teeth about the size as large swords and not to mention that he was around the same size of a bus.
"Alright someone explain to me what's going on and also for your information you dumb cat I'm not a pigeon, I'm an angel!" Maria yelled with frustration.
"you don't seem like it." Lucifer said quietly.
"That's enough all of you, you're acting like a bunch of kids."
By the door was General Cara looking pissed off and disappointed.
"Clearly Maria didn't know anything about this and I now see why you didn't tell her, but keeping people in the dark is never a good idea."
Cara sighed then continued, "This is Luna and Ren, I recruited them so they can give us more man power in the battle field. It also might be a good idea to have a shadow knight and some witch magic around here too."
"She's a what!?!" Maria screamed.
Selena shrunk herself to the size of a pixie and hid in a hole in the wall.
"and where do you think you're going?" General Cara said
"Fuck this shit, I'm out. Have fun with this drama." Then she hid in the hole.
"Why are you letting a witch and a shadow knight come here! Don't you remember all of the deaths they causes. I thought we killed them all, we had to kill all of them. How are you not dead, there were hunters everything!"
General Cara walked next to me then said "She wasn't killed because her brother was fighting in the front lines. They never killed anyone and they are certainly not evil. You may have a thing with them, but not all of them are the same. So get over it already Maria."
Maria stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her.
"I better watch over mega bitch and make sure she doesn't break anything. Selena help heal Ren then bring him to his new sleeping quarters." Cara said following Maria.
Selena flew out of her hiding spot and grew back to her normal size. "Ryder, Jace can you bring Ren to the infirmary please? I'll meet you there in a bit." Ryder moved his light blue hair out of his face and ran up to Ren's side and Jace waving hi to Leia joined Ryder to bring Ren to the infirmary.
"Um... is it okay if I come with you? He's a family friend so I want to see if he's okay."
"Sure, it's fine with me, follow me." Selena said
As we walked to the infirmary all I could think about was Ren holding me even though he was bleeding and losing his hp fast. That moment just repeated over and over again in my head. I didn't want to lose anybody else, I didn't want to be alone. I didn't want to lose someone special again. Deep down I wished Luke was there to help us and stop Maria from hurting Ren.
"I'm sorry about Maria, she didn't mean to do it."
I looked at Selena not understanding what she meant.
"It's not your fault that she attacked us. She did it out of her own will."
"She never acted like that before towards anyone. She's really nice and a natural leader but she can be stubborn and a hot-head if she doesn't get her way."
I still didn't understand why Maria hated witches, something must of happened if she was willing to kill someone who was even called a witch.
When we got to the infirmary it was pretty much like a nurses office from a school, but instead there were potions and a lab where the medicine would be regularly.
"There is a chair next to the bed. You can sit there if you want. It'll just take a minute to make the healing potion."
Ren was laying on the patients bed asleep like a child after playing outside all day. He looked so peaceful with his angel winged hair scattered everywhere on his pillow case and his gentle, warming eyes closed from the outside world. I felt bad that he got hurt and I just did nothing but stood there like an idiot.
"Why did I just stand there, you could have died because of me." I shed a few tears as I said that. I held Ren's hand squeezing it with all me strength, nit wanting to let go.
"Don't worry mistress, it wasn't your fault."
From the end of the bed was Lucifer trying to cheer me up. "My god, I've completely forgotten about you, I'm sorry. You really shouldn't see me like this."
"Please don't cry, all of this wasn't fault. It was all because of that pigeon, it was her holy magic that didn't let me come faster. She was the reason he got hurt in the first place."
"I know, but all I did was nothing, I just stood there, frozen."
Lucifer put his paw on my hand then said "Well you called me and I was able to save the both of you." He said, trying to comfort me. "Look he's alive and that's all that matters."
I looked towards the bed to watch Ren opening his eyes little by little.
"Luna what happened? When did I get here?"
Without a warning, I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. He smiled and hugged me back. Lucifer was right, all that matters is that he was alive. Everything happens for a reason right, even Luke's death. I knew I had to let go of him soon, but right now I never want to let go.
"Thank you"

I told Ren everything that happened, even about Maria. Selena came back with the potion and said sorry about Maria. He said it's fine but I could tell he was upset. Selena gave Ren the potion the he fell right back to sleep. She said he'll feel better in the morning, I thanked her then Lucifer and I left. Right outside of the door was Maria leaning against the wall.
"I'm sorry about your friend, I'm really sorry for acting like a dick." She said in a sarcastic tone. I know she only was only apologizing for Ren, but I'm not buying any of her bullshit.
"Next time you mess with anyone of us, you will regret it. You may be an angel, but I can still kick your ass in a matter of minutes." Then I walked away with Lucifer following me from behind.
She can act like a bitch to me all she wants, but I'm not going to let her mess with my family. Even my new brothers and sisters that I just met.
