L'appel du vide

{''« Veles »''}

It was a dark and rainy night. Angell was a bar with David, a normal thing for the two. The bar went quiet to exit door swinging open. David and Angell immediately recognised the smell of blood, David waving to the bar tender as Angell made her way through the crowd as they carried on dancing. David quickly followed. David walked out, closing the door behind the two. Darios stood there, the three being transformed. Gillian and Val. David stared, casually stepping behind Angell as he figured they wouldn’t hurt her. He looked horrified, whispering to Angell. “What’s going on?” He moved back slightly, seeing Val growl. Darios transformed back. “This fool came running at Val, bloody harbingers.” Gillian could be seen jolting at the harbinger, the harbinger flinching whilst Gillian was clearly having a good time. David went quiet, staring at Gillian. Angell noticed Val staring intently with a open scratch on his cheek. Angell looked to the harbinger, her mood clearly ruined. “Don’t be too rough Angell, the harbingers got two big dogs on it.” David sighed. She rolled her eyes. “What do you want?” The harbinger gulped as Val and Gillian transformed back. “Mr J-” She stuttered before sounding strong, Angell clearly not approving of it. “Mr J requests a meeting with you immediately.” The harbinger gripped her stomach. Angell stared, folding her arms. “Can I come? I fear they’ll tear me apart.” David spoke quietly to Angell, a bit scared of Gillian and Val. The harbinger laughed. “An elder scared-” The harbinger yelped, Val growling at her. Gillian snickered. “Scaredy cat. Or well, bat.” He laughed slightly. David and Angell stared. Val looked. “Are you two siblings?” He asked before his nose started bleeding, turning away. She noticed the sudden turn, immediately getting curious. The harbinger stood up, Angell quickly pushing her back down. “Stay down before I tie you to a stake.” Her nose scrunched as she hissed. She looked back to Val then to Darios. “Make sure he gets that fixed, I need to sort out this thing.” She paused, looking to Gillian. “Don’t scare David whilst I’m gone, he’ll have every right to make me kill you and I will.” She joked. “Seriously though, don’t scare him.” She sighed, looking to the harbinger. “I’m taking same place as before?” The harbinger quickly nodded, getting up slowly. “Alright.. We both know you ain’t as tough as the way you speak though.” She smiled, before it quickly faded. She looked to Val, frowning. “I’ll be back soon.” She put a gentle tone on, David raising a brow at it. She looked, rolling her eyes when she saw the raised brow. She walked off.

As soon as Angell arrived, she let out a heavy sigh, practically expecting a rough encounter. She walked to the door, going to open it. She watched the door handle move downwards then the door swing open, Mr J stepping out and leaning close to her. She glared at him. “Angell, Angell.” He grimaced, moving his face away. “Scar face.” She grimaced back. “You took the custodian heart.” He moved his hands behind his back, Angell stepping backwards. “Don’t deny it. It was for that Valentine, was it not?” He questioned, an irritated tone showing. “You are very smart. Maybe let whatever caused that scar to hurt you a bit more and you might be the smartest fool alive.” She folded her arms. “Watch your tone, I have you know, I could kill you right now.” He hissed. “I would love nothing more than to be away from you and your harbingers.” She spat on his shoe. “That’s not very lady like..” He groaned. “Tough luck.” She huffed. “You can take your go at me all you want. I’ll outlive it.” Mr J snickered. “Killing you would be too easy..” He murmured, Angell watching as he moved his hands from his back. Immediately he went to grab her, Angell kicking his knee and punching his head to the side. She ran backwards and then jumped onto a small roof above him, chuckling. “I’m older than you and got more moves.” Mr J stared up at her. “I’m keeping my energy, simple as that.” He sighed. She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah.” She hissed before watching him jump up. She jumped back down, Mr J quickly following. He suddenly slapped her with his stick, Angell immediately cupping her cheek out of confusion. “A stick-” She wheezed. She saw him go to hit her again, immediately catching the stick and throwing it to the ground. She pushed him to towards the wall.
