Chapter 49 - Back to the healing room

"Alright, you need to be resting, Newlaw said that you can't go into court until you can walk with or without the crutches and not feel pain" Silva explained, "you can rest in your home or back at the courthouse".

"Inshal darling your house is closer, you should return to it" Elea suggested, 'what's with all of the darlings?' Inshal asked herself, it's not like her mother she has always shown light tough love.

"Yeah, it'll save me a trip" Inshal got up but couldn't hold back a hushed scream. Wing beats caused Inshal to look up and she saw Newlaw.

"So I hear your father was here, gone now?" Newlaw asked, "Inshal I would like it if you stay at the court house until you heal, just in case something happens".

"I don't think I can make it that far" Inshal complained honestly, "I can barly stand" she explained.

"I can arrange sometime to transport you over" Newlaw suggested, "you can wait at your house or here" he then gave a strange expression to Silva.

"Alright, I'll be in my house" Inshal then stumbled all the way to her house that felt like years ago since she last been there. The door opened and nothing changed and she felt like passing out on the soft bed that she didn't use when she was a crow. She slept the day away as Silva sat on the desk near the front door, "Inshal" she whispered softly in her ear as she snuggled into her back, "your ride is here" she informed and Inshal blinked awake.

"Ok ok I'm awake" Inshal walked out and saw a beautiful cart with a gorgeous horse pulling it. The ride was calm and quiet, enough for her to feel such peace and absents of threat that she would feel with demons and out away from proper protection. It didn't take too long for them to arrive at the courthouse, they went straight to the healing room but Newlaw stopped them half way there, "can I see you for a while" he asked Inshal.

"Sure" Inshal followed him to his office, Silva followed as well. Newlaw looked the door, unlocked one of his drawers and pulled out a very long bloodstained, claw made of quartz. "What is that?" Inshal asked, it's definitely not organic.

"We don't know, it was found in your uterus when Silver did surgery on you" Newlaw explained, "we think that it's a furry assassin sent after Marlos unborn child and one of the extentions fell of" he explained his thoughts.

"So this happened before?" Inshal asked with her head tilted.

"No but we know that every single wife that Marlo had died to assassins or unbelievable coincidences" Newlaw explained his evidence. "But for now I want you to stay here, we still don't know if these claws are poisoned or not" Newlaw ordered and Inshal nodded and waited until the door was unlocked and she went back to the healing room. The bed was just perfect for her, 'Silva must have made like that for me' Inshal felt something similar to the feeling she would feel when she was with FunPup, but it was a little empty this time.

She put the crutches to the side and sat with the pillows so she could lean back but not is a laying position. An angel with a missing wing was in the other room, he sat clearly in pain. "What happened?" Inshal asked with concerned, "here I think I can help until Silva comes" she offered and he sat in the chair closer. Inshal directed her energy to her halo and he relaxed into the chair.

"Thanks that helps a lot" he smiled, "I think Marlo thinks you've been kidnapped" he then explained.

"What makes you say that?" Inshal asked, with an obvious concern expression.

"Well Marlo, I'm guessing it was Marlo, attacked me and another warrior" he began but seemed to have to stop, Inshal put more energy into her halo, "he killed her and did this to me" a tear feel.

"Oh" Inshal had to bite her lip as she pit the connection that that was his lover that Marlo killed.

Inshal kept her halo going and enjoyed the effects that it put on her as well. "Hello" Silva walked in and gave a little surprised expression when she saw her using her calming power to help him. "You are aware that you're only tricking his brain that there is no pain and not actually helping his heal right?" Silva asked with a strange look.

"Yes that's the point, to lift some of the pain until you can help" Inshal nodded feeling a bit of pain herself.

"Ok, Klive try this if that isn't working" Silva handed him a fresh leave that smells amazing and Inshal found herself mesmerised by the smell alone.

"What is that?" Inshal purred with the softest tone of voice she has ever did.

"I thought you were a fox?" Silva asked, "catnip shouldn't affect foxes".

"Catnip?" Inshal echoed as she continued to purr.

"Yes" Silva gave her a hand full and she recoiled herself back into her bed. Nibbling on one as the room seemed to get warmer and comfy, any stress she had is now gone and the best feeling she has had in a long while flushed over her. They sat there for a while, Inshal basically high on catnip and Silva working every injured angel that walked in.

"That's a lot of demon attacks" Inshal commented, feeling guilty as she knows that it's her fault that Marlo has ordered so many attacks.

"Yes, can you report this to Newlaw" Silva asked in a rather calm voice, "he should know".

"Sure, I think the catnip is a pain relief" Inshal added as she grabbed the crouches and slowly walked to Newlaws office. She knocked on the door to no reply.

"He's called an last minute meeting just now" a warrior explained seeing her knocking on Newlaws door.

"Oh thanks" Inshal smiled and walked to the main meeting hall, where she has her own seat.

She knocked once more and heard Newlaw answer, "come in" he spoke calmly and rather happily. Inshal walked in and she saw his confused expression as she's not ment to be in court any time soon. "Something wrong?" he asked and Inshal took her seat, it just felt right for her.

"Silva wanted you to know by how many demons attacks has been reported" Inshal explained and he gave a quick look of concern.

"How many exactly?" Newlaw asked with a nod.

"I counted 20 at least" Inshal silently twitched her tail under the table that was connected all around.

"I think we need to put the hevens under a lock down, if Marlo believes that we took you captive then we should make him believe it" Newlaw nodded a little looking for the others expressions.

"So you want to start a war?" Essa asked with concern, her heavy accent still confused Inshal of where she's from.

"No" Newlaw exsadirated, "we are gonna send Marlo a message, we are gonna let him know that he can't just attack us and get away with it".

"You sure Newlaw?" Anchor asked with a tone that made him second guess himself.

"Well what do you think?" Newlaw asked everyone, "I think we need Marlo to know he can't just go around and destroy".

"Your right" Drin agreed with him, "that demon has caused some of the worst we have ever seen and if he has a dragon egg we need him to know we will fight back".

"Yes I agree" Bran (number 7) nodded.

"I to agree" Kala spoke up, "but we don't want a war and I believe that the rest of the heavens will agree".

"Of cause, we just want to send a message and not an aggressive one just enough to scare him of" Newlaw explained his plan further, "Inshal any thoughts?".

"Do we really want to lose an eye within Marlos kingdom, keep me out of it for now, who knows when we need to know what's going on?" Inshal explained, she has made a few friends and she couldn't imagine fighting them, except for Zeven.

"That is a good point" Essa nodded with a smile.

"Alright, Inshal can not be mentioned and we can tell everyone that she's a prisoner" Newlaw explained and everyone seemed to agree.

"But the angels know that I'm not, right?" Inshal wanted to clarify, that would be awkward to explain when they see her about.

"Yes of course" Newlaw nodded and looked as if a big wait has been lifted from his shoulders.

"So that's sorted" Anchor looked around and everyone nodded, even Drin who had a somewhat of a dissaprovle expression for half of it.

"Inshal you can head back to gey some rest or you can stay and return to court as you seemed to have done" Newlaw spoke after a quick pause.

"I'll stay" Inshal could feel that even her tail was excited and happy to actually do some court work for the first time.

"Right so regarding the war" Newlaw began and explained every little detail that they have managed to get to gether.
