Radiant Shadows 8: The Truth

Lightning's P.O.V:
I don't look at Lia. She gives me a look which says, "I know what you are hiding, and you know I know." I kick at a stick on the ground. Lia crosses her arms across her chest, and raises her eyebrow at me. "You going to tell me what's up, or do you want me to get Alexa to force it outta ya?" I open my mouth to reply, but then there's screaming. "JAX! WATCH OUT!!" I whip my head around, and see someone screaming at Jax, the person has an arrow sticking out of where her right lung is.
JAX'S P.O.V:
I whip my head around, desperately looking for what I have to watch out for. I catch a glimpse of Kamaria whispering to Galaxia, and a spilt-second later, Galaxia knocks me to the ground. A thing with wings swoops down one second after she pushes me down. Several Angels (by several, I mean 10) are handing from the ceiling. The one that tried to grab me points at me while talking to the others. They nod, and start swooping down one at a time. I'm crawling backwards in an attempt to get away. One Angel dives faster than the others, and grabs my arm, but before she could fly away, a green potion flies towards her and either kills or knocks her out, since she stops flying immediately. Good thing I was only 5 feet off the ground. I look around, wondering where the potion came from, when I spot someone with an armful of potions. 
He has a light purple witch- or I guess, sorcerer's or wizard's hat, with a golden star on the tip of the hat - black fading to dark purple hair, eyes that appear to be missing, but he has small light red crosses that I'll assume are pupils. The rest of his eyes are completely black, with black lines that look like cracks coming out of them onto his cheeks. He has folded black Angel-looking wings, and a red shirt with a purple coat that goes down to his knees. The sleeves are ripped, which I'll assume either means it's old or it was always like that. There's a black, fading to purple, somehow fading to dark red cape that's attached to the coat, which is also ripped at the bottom. He has dark grey pants, and - you guessed it - purple and maroon shoes.
He runs over to me, flinging potions at oncoming Angels. I remember I still have the galaxy-looking dagger, so I start slicing at Angels that come too close. "Hey!" The guy says, standing next to me. "Not too bad for someone who's not used to using weapons!" "Thanks, uh..." "The name's Moon!" Moon says. "There was a full moon on the night I was born, well, you could barely tell from the pink and purple explosions, and the lightning. Oh, you're probably wondering why you can't hear the lightning. That's what's weird about the lightning here. It's completely silent, but can still cause fires." There's a blur of colour, and another hybrid shows up. She has horns like a ram's, emerald green hair, rabbit ears, and unnaturally blue eyes. Her clothes (short-sleeved shirt, skirt, boots, knee-length socks) appear to be made out of grass, leaves, bark, and twigs.
"That's Celest!" Moon yells, still throwing potions. Multitasker PRO over here... "Shiva himself doesn't usually show up, it's mostly behind-the-scenes." I drop to the floor to avoid another Angel. When I'm getting up, the Angel I tried to avoid suddenly teleports behind me again, and holds a knife to my neck. I automatically freeze, I do NOT plan to die anytime soon. The Angel starts talking. "If ANYONE here moves, I will take Jax and you will never see him again." Everyone freezes, and Philo, who is in the air, starts speaking slowly. "Listen, Angel." Her voice is slowly becoming even MORE demonic with every word she speaks. "If you leave Jax alone, we won't hurt you, and you can leave without a SCRATCH." My eyes widen, and I stare at Philo, feeling surprised of how fast Philo went from protective of everyone, to super, super, SUPER protective.
I hear the Angel behind me chuckle darkly. "Ooooooooh.. you thought I'd leave him alone. What's funny is that..
I'm taking him anyway."
Blinding white and golden mist appear in front of my eyes, what makes it worse is that it sparkles. The light is so bright that I pass out...
LIGHTNING'S P.O.V:
"NOOOOOOO!! JAX!!" I scream, attempting to jump into the teleportation, but face-plant into the ground. "JAX!" I scream again. Philo drops to the ground, and pats my shoulder. Instead of getting hysterical, like any other girl, my colours darken, and even Philo backs away. I stand up, my eyes fading to black. "We. Are. Getting. Jax. Back." I say slowly. Alexa steps forward. "I'm all for getting him back, but we aren't sure where the Dark Light's base is." I pick up an Angel feather, and channel some of my energy into it.
It floats up, and start floating away. I snatch it back, and look at Alexa. "Any other questions?" She nods. "Just one." "Yes?" I ask. Lia cuts in. "WHEN ARE YOU AND JAX GETTING MAAAAAARRIED!?" My face must be as red, since she continues. "OOOOOOOOH, IS IT SOOOOOOOOOON?!" I laugh nervously. "T-that's ridiculous, we're just friends." Philo shrugs. "I dunno, you do seem to hang out all the time. And look at your reaction to Jax leaving. Hmmmmm?" Alexa hates sappy stuff, so she clears her throat loudly. "ANYWAY..." Alexa smiles darkly.
"When are we going to make time to make Angel cake with fresh Angel wings?"
JAX'S P.O.V:
I wake up in a cage/jail cell. I slowly stand up, and the cage shakes. I back up and grab onto the bars. I look outside, and realize that I'm in a cage HANGING FROM THE CEILING. I touch my right arm, and it explodes in pain. You know when you get a shot, and your arm really hurts for some reason? Yeah, it's like that. I check my pockets and realize that they had taken everything I had on me, including the food for some reason. They took the backpack too. "So." I hear an angelic, yet threatening voice say. "You SWEAR this is the right person?" "Yes, ma'am." The Angel that attacked me earlier says. "He... kinda looks like you? And from the tiny blood test we ran, it seems you and him have the same DNA.. sort of."
"SORT OF?!" The voice screams. "IT'S ONLY SORT OF?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT MAKES IT SORT OF AND NOT PRETTY MUCH FULLY!!!" "W-well, y-y-you're an Angel, so you have different DNA." There was several beats of silence. I could feel my heart beat, and it feels so loud. "I'll let you off the hook this time, Everest." The first voice says. "You are dismissed." There's quick footsteps, and silence. "Now..." Something rams into the cage, which sends it shaking and moving. Something stops it by tightly gripping onto the bars and holding it. I get a good look at the Angel. I kinda recognize her, but when I stare for a bit longer it finally clicks.
"Y-y-y-y-you're my-"
"Mom. Correct."
My mouth hangs open. "They said you died..." She rolls her eyes. "Oh, of course I died. How could I have gotten WINGS?" "Uhhhh.." "Why aren't you happy to see me?" "Well, for one I never saw you, two I don't remember you." "Makes sense." "Anyway, why did you bring me here?" "To tell you the truth." "What truth? That you secretly didn't die?" "Nope." "That this is somehow a weird, twisted dream?" "Wrong-o." "That I'm in the hospital in a coma and this is a dream?" "Pretty much the same as the last one, no." "I took some really weird d- I mean candies, and I'm hallucinating?" "Thank you for the YouTube-protection, but no." "Well, what is it then?"
My "Mom"/Diamanda smiles evilly. "Your friend, LightningFire?
She's an Angel."
