L'appel du vide

{''« Meraki Chapter Three »''}

Angell’s eyes opened slightly, stilll having fuzzy vision. She kept passing out on and on, before long she fully woke up. Her eyes widened, looking around. She didn’t recognise the area, groaning at the sight of the lights. Her hands were in pain. She tried to move her arms, feeling them tied. She looked to them then around the room, spotting Liz. She felt tired, eyeing Liz. “I’m gonna kill you.” She managed to speak, her eyebrows furrowing before quickly going back in place. Liz sighed, walking over. “I’m just here to watch over you.” She moved Angell’s hair out of her face. “Don’t touch me.” She hissed at Liz, watching her back away. She eyed Liz intensely before figuring out she might not know. “These ropes hurt.” She murmured, purposely adding a tint of pain in her voice. Liz looked at the ropes tying her hands. “Can you take them off? You know I’m no harm when I’m hurt.” She quickly added, Liz walking over to one arm. “Please Liz.” She pleaded. Liz slowly undid the one rope. “I still need to watch-” Before Liz could react she got kicked by Angell’s leg, Angell quickly swinging over to the other side and undoing the rope. She walked over to Liz who was gripping her thigh in pain. She picked Liz up, slamming her into the wall. Liz tried to fight against her, Angell pressing her arm against Liz’s arm. Liz gasped out, squirming beneath Angell. Angell used her hand to close Liz’s nose trills, stopping her from breathing completely. Liz kicked her leg when her breathing got cut off, trying her hardest. Angell groaned, remaining in place mostly. Within a few moments Liz stopped moving, Angell letting her go. Liz immediately bit onto Angell’s hand, Angell gasping and almost screaming as she shook Liz off. She grabbed Liz and grabbed the rope, Liz coughing. She tied the rope tightly around her neck, immediately grabbing her legs and wrists behind her. She forced Liz onto her stomach, tying her ankles and wrists together. She leant down, grabbing a key from Liz. She looked around, spotting a door. She took a few moments before walking over to it. She unlocked the door, spotting a few harbingers half asleep. She chuckled quietly before quietly sneaking past, knowing they won’t pay most attention. She managed to get to a door, opening it. She noticed it was light, sneaking back inside. She found a few umbrellas, taking one. She walked out, quickly putting the umbrella up. She held it over her body, almost running.

She looked back, figuring it was the harbinger head quarters. She walked with some pain, grunting now and then. She noticed the manor barely, quickly trying to run there. As soon as she arrived she bashed the gate with her fist until someone opened it. “I know I’m not suppose to be here but I really need to talk to Damon.” She quickly walked off to the throne room before the person could say anything. She opened the door, immediately seeing Damon and ignoring everyone else. “For once can you actually do what others say and go help Val?” She huffed at Damon who was glaring at her. “I thought you had a reason to do with it.” He murmured. “Can’t keep yourself away from him.” He mentioned with a smirk. She rolled her eyes. “I’m fucking tired, just do it for Lucians sake. I think you owe him big time.” She hissed weakly, in desperate need for blood by how her eyes remained the blue color. She remembered about the custodian heart. “I know of the harbingers and of that custodian heart you want so badly.” She watched as Damon immediately stood up. “What?” He asked. “The custodian heart. I know where it is.” She muttered. “I’m not telling any of you about it unless you help Val.” She looked at the umbrella, pulling it down. “Obviously we will get him, he’s one of the three you dumb bat.” Damon rolled his eyes. “But, you give us that custodian heart in return.” He folded his arms. Angell stared, thinking. “I’ll give it to Val. Gilli or whatever he’s called scares me and Darios is a creep.” She murmured. Darios glaring at her confused. “You smelt me, that’s weird. Don’t care if your a dog.” She huffed. “Either way. The harbingers took me to this stadium thing. They said it’s a yearly tradition. Lycans and hellhounds fighting, I even saw a vampire there.” She mentioned the vampire. “Clearly, you guys are weak.” Damon shrugged. “Didn’t you ask me, a vampire to help you?” She raised a brow before continuing. “A Lycan came out then Val came out. I was on a balcony and I couldn’t do anything then because they would tie me to a cross like you fuckers do to get hellhound blood.” She scoffed. “Who told you that-” Damon got confused. “None of your business.” She huffed. “Listen, I can drive you there. But Val was injured, I found his cell and-” She stopped, remembering about Viktors dungeon. She frowned immediately. “I gave him wolfsbane to help but you need others to help him.” She murmured. Darios looked. “We were attacked, mind. So that could be where Val is. I don’t think she would lie about Val..” He murmured, Angell not even reacting. She frowned even more, clearly still in thought about Viktor. She looked down, gripping the end of her shirt.
