_Yes, you may have ripped out my wings, but that doesn't mean I'm not still an Angelle,_ Basil thought, glaring at wherever the creepy and mysterious voice was coming from. &quot;You won't find us, Basil. You shall never see us. We will always remain hidden from you, and you shall only know us as Protectors, and that is all,&quot; the woman's voice said again. _&quot;I can protect myself!&quot;_ Basil shouted back angrily, his voice raw and cracking. &quot;My species evolved before yours! That's why we live in the skies, to get away from the likes of creatures like _you!&quot;_ &quot;There is no need to be upset,&quot; the woman's voice responded calmly. &quot;Everything is going to be fine. You will be let out soon. Everything is going to be just fine.&quot; _You don't have to repeat yourself and speak to me as if I'm a child,_ he thought. _I'm a full-fledged Angelle. I understand, okay?!_ He walked over to the wall and tried to lean up against it without cutting his back open even more. 2008-05-08T23:15:36Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29741 <p>Ooo, I&#8217;m liking this series! :)<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/29741?basename=61077 2008-05-08T23:15:36Z paper flowers http://ficlets.com/authors/paper_flowers
