Angel of Mercy
The pain was blinding and it was everywhere. Leon tried to open his eyes and could only manage an unfocused squint.

He could see a hand on his shoulder with pink painted nails. Under the hand was a bloody gauze.

“It’s all right don’t move. Help is on the way. I know it hurts but they will have you good as new in no time at all.” The soft voice said.

Leon closed his eyes and let the blackness surround him.

Two days later, he woke up in hospital. The room was bright and smelled of antiseptic. He was alive but he didn’t know how.

He looked around and saw a nurse standing there. He looked at her hands there was no color on them.

“Well hello.” The nurse said.

“Where is she?” Leon whispered hoarsely.

“Who?” The nurse looked confused.

“There was a woman. She helped me. She saved me.” Leon said.

“Are you looking for me?” A familiar voice asked from the door. She walked over and put a hand over his.

The pink nails were the ones he remembered. He turned his hand to intertwine his fingers with hers. He gave it a squeeze.

“Who are you? Are you an angel?” Leon asked as he looked at her face for the first time. “You look like an angel.”

“I’m Mithian and I’m no angel.” The woman said with a smile.

“You’re wrong!” Leon said. “You’re my angel!”
