Jack looked into the room with the siblings and muttered “what bothers me is that she looks familiar...but I can’t place her face. Does she look familiar to any of you?”

North was trying to keep Serena from moving while tooth work on the wing, Buunymund handing Tooth the tools she asked for. Bunnymund looked up and said “Snow, and both jacks, we could use a hand. Her wings are moving just as bad as the rest of her”

Serena was tossing on the table, sweat pouring down her face as she muttered weakly “they are in danger...the children are not safe...the darkness will wrap around. Their souls...I can’t let that happen...” north raised an eyebrow and looked over at the three by the door.

“What did you two find out there?”

To hear her friends call for them, Snow slowly released herself from Jack’s embrace, looking at Jack once more and, taking his hand, she walked to the other room, only to see the angel writhing on the table. Hearing Skellington and North, Snow walked towards the angel, and gently place her hands on the sides of the young woman’s head, as well as her forehead, allowing her cold aura cool the individual down, and keep her calm.

“Apart from all of the interesting characters we’ve seen throughout the years, I can’t say that we have ever seen an angel before”, she commented. “She was being attacked by some kind of creature we have never encountered before. My first thought was Pitch”.

Skellington nodded and said “but it wasn’t sand like pitch...it was ooze...nasty stuff. She warned us not to touch it...that’s what damaged her wing so badly...” Bunnymund was looking at the other wounds and said “they are swallow...just bleeding a bit...and burns. Tooth, is she as bad as she looks?”

Serena opened her eyes slightly and saw Snow above her. “Protect...the children...the souls...infected...”

“As one with wings, myself, I would highly recommend her not to fly for a while, which would be just about right, in order for them to start healing”, Tooth informed, just as she about finished wrapping the wing. “Now, I don’t know how long, but I can only say, for about a while”, she added, as she finished tying the appendage off.

Snow looked at the agony in the young woman’s eyes, and kept her hands gently on the angel’s head. “How can we do that?”, she almost whispered, soothingly. She wanted to know how.

Skellington moved over and said “she will need rest as well....we may need Sandy’s help to get her that. She has a fever from what I can tell”

Serena looked at Snow and said “have to...pull the infection out...Magic...but have to get there in time...right when they are...infected...” she flinched and closed her eyes a moment.
