Fallen Moon

Chapter 10: Ultimate Betrayal (Part 03)

The Sun began to rise, as a precaution. Angel climbed out of bed. He was careful in his movements. He did not want to disturb Raven while she slept. He slipped on his solid black boxer briefs. He reached into his pants pocket taking out a single dose of Sun Repellant IX. Just as he was about to take it. His mind caught flashes of a girl. Brunette hair, navy blue jacket, blue jeans, dark blue eyes. Werewolf. She went by the name of Claire. She must have triggered the curse he placed on the boulder blocking the entrance. The question is how did she find them? Was she a threat? Wait, didn't Raven mention that she had a sister and that she too knew of this place. If that were the case then, I guess it's time to meet the sister. This should be interesting. -huh?-

Angel's mind caught another flash. Claire was carving a wooden steak. Her intentions became known to him right away. He saw an image of that steak piercing his heart. He couldn't kill her, Raven would be mad. He caught another flash, -Brandon, he's with her.- Confusion set in, why was he helping her? It wasn't like Brandon to work with a werewolf. The boulder started to move, Angel took the sun repellant and placed a curse on the ground with his bare foot.

"You're mine," Claire rushed in taking out the steak. She went to stab him in the heart. However, the curse Angel planted triggered. The curse stopped her movement and forced her to freeze in place. "What the-," She kept trying to force the steak forward being only inches from Angel's heart. "Why can't I-," Angel casually knocked the wooden steak out of her hand and pushed her back. The effects of the curse faded allowing her to move again. "What did you do to me?"

"That's none of your concern," Angel picked up the wooden steak and threw it outside. "The point is you were trying to kill me." He stated as a fact. He watched as Brandon stepped into the cave.

"Holy shit," Brandon's eyes wandered the cave. "What the hell happened here? The place is a total wreck," He picked up a piece of ripped up cotton from the torn pillow. "Angel, buddy, did you do this?" He showed Angel the small handful of cotton he picked up off the floor.

"Well um," Angel tried to answer. Before he could Claire drew her claws and attacked him. He quickly moved one foot forward creating another curse and stopping her in place once more. Claire growled trying to force movement. Her feet were straining to move but were despite her efforts. She was stuck in place. "I'm not like the others," He stated as fact. "I don't want to kill you. Your sister is fine, see for yourself." He motioned toward the bed. Raven was still sound asleep. "I don't want to wake her so please," He released the curse allowing her to move. "Hear what I have to say before acting blindly."

"You want me to listen to you." Claire argued, "Look at what you did," She picked up a piece of broken wood from the armoire. "Not only that you," Claire began pacing back and forth. "This can't be happening," She took several deep breaths. "Please tell me, this isn't what it looks like," She threw the broken wooden piece from the armoire down. "Tell me, you aren't this stupid," She accused. "It's okay, even if you were. Surely my sister wasn't. Who am I kidding?" She groaned. "Of course my sister is dumb enough to do something like this."

"What this?," Brandon picked up Raven's bra off the floor. "Now Angel buddy, I'm not trying to jump to conclusions here but," He dropped the bra on the floor and picked up Raven's white lace panties. "I'm pretty sure you had sex with her. Now, when I looked the other way so you could talk to her. This is not what I had in mind," He dropped her panties on the floor. "You see, this is why I told you not to do this. I look away and this is what happens. Though, I got to say." He put his hands on hips and nodded to himself. "I love what you've done with the place. You broke everything but the dresser." He walked over the wooden dresser. "This dresser is a survivor," He smirked, placing his hand on it.
