Leo had been unable to sleep throughout the night in the mountain after their encounter with the half Nadri. He had been worried for Sheila who, for the first time since he knew her, had shown weakness, which made him to wonder what exactly must have happened between her and the Nadir in the forest after he had escaped. He had stayed awake, watching her sleep soundly and had made two trips to the stream to get her some water and back up to the mountain. The water had helped a lot.
Now as he watched her get ready to fly back down into the forest, he could almost not believe that she had been the same Angel who had been so weak and unable to walk properly last night. She had woken up first even before him this morning and was her regular strong self, telling him that she would be going back into the forest to get back his cloak which she had dropped last night."I do not understand why you need to go back." Leo protested against Sheila leaving the mountains to the forest toLiam made his way to the stream after a conflicting decision to leave Leticia behind at his place, but he needed the water from the stream for Leticia's wounds. They were not healing but rather they made her sick.As he dropped down to the ground and went into the water, his mind went back to what had happened last night, he was still unable to explain how it had happened but he knew for a certain that something was wrong. It was all wrong.* * * * *Liam had still been awake when he had heard a cry of pain that night, it was a cry calling out his name in utmost desperation. That voice had belonged to Leticia. He had bolted upright immediately and ran into the house and into the room, only for him to be met with an empty bed. Leticia was not here. She was gone.Again the voice called out for him and he raced out of the house, taking to the skies even before his feet could touch the ground. He followed the voice, flying closer to the forest and feelin
Sheila and Liam who had quietly been watching Leticia, saw her fall and on impulse, they both reached for her immediately to catch her from falling. Liam caught her quickly and carried her in his arms, placing her back gently on the bed "Liam, I do not think that the water would do much for her." Sheila said as she stroked the girl's hair, she was very worried for her."The injury sizzles when it comes in contact with the water." Liam said and Leticia stared at him in surprise and shock. She watched him twist the cap off the bottle and pour the water on Leticia's wounds, it sizzled like it was boiling and Leticia gasped and wiggled in pain."Liam..." Sheila called, her lips trembling a little."If it sizzles, then it means that it is cleaning off the wound but it has been quite a while since she had the injury. How long would this take?" He asked Sheila but she was not exactly thinking of that right now."The water only repells demons and anything unclean." She s
Liam focused his attention on Leticia who laid motionless on the bed asides from her heaving chest as she struggled to breathe. Her body was no longer warm to the touch, her skin was pale and her slightly parted lips were a shade of blue, her eye lids quavered in her attempt to keep them open. Liam clasped her hand in his and brought it up to his chest, as he watched her, he could see Sharon, his human and he could see Phidian, the demon girl she had become. He battled in his mind to stop himself from imagining Leticia as a demon girl. He was going to save her at all cost and he would never allow what had happened to Sharon to ever happen to Leticia. There was only one place he could think of to take her to. Only one person he could think of that could help him and in all honesty, he wished there was another better option."There is one place I have in my head to take her to." Liam suddenly spoke up, not looking at anyone but Leticia."Where?" Sheila and Leo had chorused,
Liam watched the demon retreat away from him slowly with a look of shock on his face and he knew immediately that something was not alright. He had seen something concerning Leticia, something disturbing and it pricked on Liam's curiosity. He wanted to know. He needed to know."What did you see?" He asked."You can not save her Liam." He said matter of factly. "There is no way you can save her. She will become a demon and there is nothing you or anyone can do about that." He walked back into the darkness of the house when he finished speaking, leaving Liam standing clueless with the girl in his arms.Liam looked down at Leticia who still whimpered in his arms and his heart broke but he did not believe what Krane had said to him. There was a way to help her, there was a way to cure her and he would find it. He would not allow her go just the way Sharon had left him. He turned around and heading for the door, out of Krane's dark house.* * * * *Ben sh
Renard flew fast as he gained speed in the air, accelerating and shooting through the air like a bullet. He flapped his darkened wjngs aggressively as he thought of Liam. He thought only of Liam. The renegade had always been a barrier to some of his plans although not directly, but now, he was trying to stop him from getting to the mixed blood. Liam wanted him to be swallowed up by this corruption, he wanted him gone.He fumed and seethed as he flew. Although he did not know where exactly to go in order to finds Liam but he just flew, hoping to maybe spot him somewhere. Then he caught sight of Smokes, the demon bar. He knew Liam frequented the bar, he had been told severally by Ben, he never thought he would actually have needed the information at that time but now he did. He smirked and flew low, slowing down his approach and landed very softly on the ground right in front of Smokes.It was getting dark as the sun was already setting, he knew it was by this time tha
Sheila, Leo and Phidian stood by quietly as they watched Liam walked back to a closet which they did not know had been there because its door blended in well with the walls, he reached in and brought out his sword, unsheathing it to look at the blade, it glimmered in the dark, catching the beams of moon light that filtered in through the window.As he weighed the sword in his hands, his mind went back to the last time he had had to use it, and that was when he and Leticia had come across the demons in the forest and that overly pompous Nadri, he had been engaged with another demon at the time that Leticia was bitten, if he knew that bite would lead to this then he would not have let that happen. He blamed himself more because he was supposed to be her guardian Angel and the duty of a guardian Angel was to guard but he had not been able to do so much on that day. But at least he had kept her safe and away from that Nadri, that was a plus.He never thought he would hav
"Why do you think I called you to meet me here?" Dan had said.Liam thought on it for a while but he could not make much sense out of it, if Renard had called him here for them to settle their differences once and for all then he would gladly oblige, he would end everything here and now. He took a defensive position and walked round as the two Angels slowly circled each other.Renard smirked as he watched Liam, the Angel was clueless as to why hee had called him to come here rather than to fish him out. He had wanted Liam as far away as possible from his own place, he had wanted him as far away as possible from the mixed blood female with him, he had done his part by bringing Liam out, now the rest was up to Dan to complete."Maybe I will have to kill you, I will have my way and I will have her and there will be nothing you do about that!""I dare you to try renard." Liam fumed. Renard lifted his sword and charged at Liam with all fury.Bot
Liam panicked, he hesitated for a second wondering if he had heard clearly. It was her voice and she had called out to him for help. He stumbled backwards but caught himself from falling, Renard stared at him for a while before bursting out into a laugh."How gullible." He said. Liam snapped and charged at him in anger. Renard slipped off the sofa just in time as Liam's sword cut clean into it but he did not attack Renard any further. They both stared at each other for a while, Renard in shock and panick at his near death escape and Liam in pure anger."I will come back for you Renard, and that is my promise to you." Liam said and rushed out of the house, taking to the skies immediately.Renard, a little bit shaken from Liam's last action, stood up from the floor and adjusted himself. He should get going now to the Nadris and he would inform Master Krane too about this so that he could begin the process of making the potion. Finally, after these long years, he would b
