War of the species

I stand in my brother's office in the middle of the room saluted. I've been standing here for about an hour. At least that's what I think. I've been counting the seconds after I got tired of reading the covers from the books he has in here. But once again he picks up his glass cup of water and fills it with the metal pitcher of water that's probably empty by now. I stare at my brothe rtrying my best not to get mad as my legs and arm hurt. Looking up once again I find my favorite book 'How to kill them' 'It's such a good book, wonder if he'll lend it to me.' I think to myself as my brother clears his throat. Making me flinch and loose my train of thought. "So," He starts "How did your last battle go? Did you lose anyone?" He asks looking me in the eyes. I nod my hair as I stare back into his golden eyes seeing. "The battle went ok, we were able to push them back, but we lost 6 soilders. And nine are injured." I say as I look away from him disappointed in myself and how he stares at me with that look he gives to the people he's mad at or feels bad for. "Did you get hurt, I doubt it though. Demons like you rarely ever get hurt bad enough for-" He stops looking me up and down making sure I'm actually not hurt. I take his distraction as an opportunity to ask a question. "So, brother how much longer do I have to do this? Work with a squad I mean. Like when can I work on my own. I'm capable,". I stop saluting then take a step closer to his desk raising my voice slightly . "Why can't I just fight alone, or at least with one person, a person I choose. Instead of working with people that barely listen, get eachother killed, and completely ignore their commaning officer" He looks at me annoyed then smiles, amused. "So you wanna work alone do you, Special officer Death. My baby brother." He asks staring at me with disdain. I take a breath the air around me becoming thin making it hard to breathe as I stare my brother in the eyes. I stand up straight and nod. "Yes, I wish to work alone. Or if it makes you feel better, 'Brother'. Then I'll work with somone you choose." Looking at my older brother hopefully I smile hopefully. He looks at me and looks away from me. Standing then walks to his window. "Special Officer Death, I," He turns around to look at me then sits back down folding his hands across his desk looking down, then back up. "Corperal Angel Grant you permission to work alone. I'll also request for you to be relocated." Angel looks up at me the shoos me away, I start to walk away then stop turn sound and point to a book. He looks at the book and nods "Go ahead" I snatched the book off the shelf thank him then speed walk outside, the sun hitting my face. 'Can't wait to read this' I think to myself as I grip onto the book for Dea life, spread my wings and fly away to where I'm currently stationed.
