L'appel du vide

{''« Estelle Chapter Two »''}

Angell appeared in a black jacket which went to her knees, walking with heavy boots. She noticed they seemed casual about her being around, simply shrugging it off. She walked along until she found where the custodian heart was held. She walked to the door, unlocking it with a key she had. She closed the door behind her, not locking it. She walked over to a podium with had a mirror box on top. She saw the custodian heart there, walking over. The alarms didn’t go off as she was known there. She had black gloves on so they couldn’t define it was her. She walked to the mirror box, lifting it up almost delicately. She placed it on the floor, grabbing the custodian. She had a satchel, placing the custodian in the satchel. She heard the door creak, immediately looking. The custodian barely in the satchel at the moment. “What are you-” A harbinger said before seeing the custodian. The harbinger ran at her, Angell pushing the custodian into the satchel and kicking the harbinger into the wall. She held the harbinger there, having a tight grip. The harbinger tried to scream, Angell immediately covering her mouth. She slammed the harbingers head into the wall a few times until she saw blood and that the harbinger passed out. She took the gloves off, opening the door before she did. She walked out, seeing the harbingers acting normal. She shrugged it off, eventually running.

She let out a sigh, locking her house behind her. She pulled the satchel off, bringing it with her to her room with Jose quickly following. “Hey kitty kitty.” She cooed. She put the satchel down, Jose hopping onto the bed with the satchel. He curled up on the bed. She walked into the bathroom, changing. She soon walked out in jeans and a shirt. She walked to the satchel, pulling the custodian heart out. She looked at it, thinking. She grabbed her phone, calling Darios. “Hey, I’m coming to the manor. Can you do me a favor and tell Val? I got a surprise.” She murmured. “Okay, what’s the surprise?” He asked. “Wouldn’t be a surprise if I told. You’ll just have to wait and see.” She murmured. She hung up before he could say anything. She walked to the satchel, Jose meowing. “Not now boy.” She sighed, bending down to gentle pet him. She got back up to make some quick food and water. She placed the bowls down beside his car bed. She petted him again before walking to to the front door. She locked it behind her, quickly walking along the street until she got to the manor.

She opened the front gate, closing it behind her loudly. She walked up the steps, sighing. She stepped along pathway, finally getting off the staircase. She walked to the doors, swinging them open. She sighed out, walking along. She had the satchel on her, pulling the custodian heart. “Look what I got.” She chimed, showing the heart to Damon who immediately got up. “Give it.” He said in a demanding tone. She glared. “Half.” She hissed. “What? That’s not-” He got interrupted. “Half or none. I have half and you have half.” She smiled. She eventually gave him half, forcing him to agree. “Vampires-” He murmured whilst Angell turned around. She heard, turning back to him. She grabbed his wrist with the custodian heart in the hand, hissing at him loudly. He stared. “Go on, I dare you.” He huffed. She smirked. “Oh, shut up. I’m going to go tell Val.” She put the other half in her satchel, turning around to walk off. She walked quickly until she got to Val’s room, happily opening it. She closed it behind her. She walked to Val, almost hopping.

“Look, look.” She smiled widely, grabbing her satchel. She pulled the other half out, showing it to Val. His eyes widened at the sight, Angell noticing a worried look. Her smile faded, stopping in place. “What’s wrong..?” She muttered. “Where did you get the information about the custodian?” He asked. Her eyebrows furrowed, confused. “I thought you’d be happy.” She said under her breathe. “We’ve only given half to normal hellhounds, not the three.” He had a panicked tone, Angell being confused by it. “Relax, I’m sure everything will be fine.” She took the satchel off, putting it down. He ran his hands through his hair. “Val, calm down, I’m sure everything will be fine-” She stopped, watching him. He gave her a look. “What if it kills me or something?” He had a panicked tone. “Woah, woah, it won’t. I’m sure it won’t. I wouldn’t get it if it would hurt you.” She murmured. He sighed. “Can I see it?” She nodded, grabbing the custodian heart. She handed it to him. He examined it, Angell feeling her mouth turn wet at the thought of blood. Her eyes flashed the eletric blue color. “It’s a normal custodian.” He looked at her. She shrugged. He noticed her eyes. “Thirsty?” He asked. She slowly nodded. “It doesn’t matter about me right now.” She sighed. He handed the heart back to her. She put in the satchel. “Did they hurt you?” He motioned to the mark on her head. “I told you. I walked into a wall.” She chuckled. “I know but I just wanna check.” He murmured. “I am fine.” She smiled. “Do you wanna do this though?” She asked. He looked to her then the satchel. “I-” He stuttered before going quiet. “If something bad happens, I will let Gillian kill me for it.” She tried to reassure him. “But nothing bad will happen, unless you stay in my house. My cat likes to meow a lot.” She sighed. “Well I’m a dog, would it like me?” He chuckled. “I mean. Not really.” She laughed a bit. “Alright, you don’t gotta do it mind.” She looked to his ears. He nodded slowly. She noticed this, seeing him nod a bit quicker. “Yeah?” She asked, a cheerful tone appearing. “Yeah.” He chuckled, seeing her eyes lit up.
