Silas was almost happy as the pain in his chest stared to fade and his vision became hazy, he’d always hoped he would die in the service of God, though he knew the way he had been forced to carry out that work hadn’t exactly been Christian. He could only hope and pray that God would forgive him for the people he had killed and for failing the Bishop as everything went black.
Paige knew there was something wrong, she’d been hearing the jingling in her head all day but had struggled to pin point exactly where her new charge was, she clearly still needed to learn how to use her whitelighter powers. Finally as the jingling became more and more frequent and urgent she located him, somewhere in England, she wasn’t sure where precisely but just hoped her powers would take her to him. Appearing suddenly in a rainy park she looked around to make sure no one had seen her then ran, looking for the man she knew she had to help, blinking several times at the large white mound contrasted against the vivid green grass she moved forwards and crouched down by the semi naked man wincing at the sight of the bullet hole in his chest which was still leaking blood. She closed her eyes concentrating hard on the task she knew she was about to have to perform, she’d only done it once before, with Leo’s supervision and not in a life or death situation like this. Taking a deep breath she placed her hands just above the wound and focused as a warm yellow light spread from her hands, she watched carefully as the bullet was pushed out of the man’s ghostly white chest and the flesh knotted together, leaving only a small patch of dried blood.
Silas gasped for air, waking suddenly as he looked up at the woman kneeling beside, an angel, I am truly a ghost “Is this Heaven?” he asked quietly in an accent Paige couldn’t quite place.
Paige gave him a comforting smile and shook her head, “no not Heaven Silas, you aren’t dead.”
Silas looked up at her confused, surely God hadn’t spared him after everything he’d done. “But...how?” he managed to ask, his fingers moving where the wound in his chest should have been.
Paige bit her lip, the first rule of being a whitelighter was not to let your charges know who you were. “It’s...a long story.” she said raising and offering her hand to the large man laying on the grass. Silas took it gratefully as he stood, towering over the woman that had apparently just saved his life. “It is a secret?” he asked.
Paige smiled glad he wasn’t pressing her for answers, “Something like that,” she admitted still holding on to his hand, “we should probably get out of the rain now, you’re still not safe.” she said pulling him out of the park towards the alley where no one could see them. She took a deep breath and looked up into his red eyes, forcing herself to ignore how much like a Hawker demon he looked, she knew this man was human, she could sense it, he was her charge. “You have to trust me okay? I’m going to take us somewhere safe.” she told him softly.
Silas merely nodded, his mind reeling at what had happened, wondering what had happened to the Bishop, if perhaps he had been saved too, he deserved to live more than Silas did after all. “You’re my guardian angel, of course I trust you.” he told her finally as the pair disappeared in a haze of blue light.
