Angel's PoV

Song- If I Die Young by The Band Perry

I sat in the guest room staring at the box on the end of the bed my eyes just unblinking and staring at it like its poison, tears continued to fall in silent trickles as I hiccupped slightly rubbing at my puffy face to dry the tears that made me feel like I was weak. I could tell that Damian was worried but he didn't push me, he kept his distance and waited for me downstairs.

I looked up at the wall before my eyes trailed to the door, intrusive thoughts running through my mind, Anubis was to blame for all this and whoever hired him was gonna pay. I let out a breath as I began to address the pain like Damian had suggested.

Before I could control myself an angry blood curdling scream rose from my chest as I curled into myself, my heart I could feel was broken and in pieces that I couldn't even collect myself if I tried. My baby was gone, the animal I rescued and loved to much was gone.

The door burst open as Damian and Sherlock came in, I could feel the concern flowing off of Damian in waves as he approached me like a wounded animal as I laid in the middle of the bed, I felt the bed shift as he sat down on the edge and it shake slightly as Sherlock jumped up.

"Angel...?" Damian called out softly his voice soft and warm as I opened my eyes, he was laying down now his eyes meeting mine as he laid on his stomach. I adjusted my vision to see Sherlock laying next to the box with Crow in it as he nudged it sadly, before my eyes moved to Damian again.

"Sorry... Just the pain and the anger and..." He shushed me gently shaking his head.

"Its okay Darling, I understand sometimes you just have to let the pent up energy out" He assured and I smiled sadly at him as I let out a shaky breath, all I saw was his hand slowly reach out and I flinched away slightly and he looked at me confused.

"Sorry, instinct not used to being touched..." I admitted, he looked at me like he didn't believe me before I sighed and looked down.

"Cody... Whenever he got excited he couldn't contain it and had to hit something... Majority of the time that something was me" tears slowly streamed down my cheeks again as I explained the situation. A deep angry frown made its way across Damian's face as he studied my eyes knowing I was telling the truth about this. I had never told anyone.

Suddenly, out of no where Damian's phone went off and I cringed slightly as he looked at the lock screen and sighed unhappily.

"Sorry Love, work calls" He huffed in annoyance.

Butterflies blew up in my stomach whenever he called me 'Love' or 'Darling'  I nodded gently my eyes watching him as I sat up now, I didn't want to leave the room anymore as I sat, back against the headboard now. I watched Damian as he stood up and read the notification from whoever about the work he had to do, I still had no idea what he did for work it was all a mystery to me.

"Damian?" I called out to snap him out of his stupor of looking at the text.

"Hmm?" He hummed in response as he looked up at me to let me know I had his full attention.

"What do you do for work?" I asked and he frowned and hummed slightly like he knew I was going to ask this.

"Well... Uh... How do I explain this..." He bit his lip slightly swallowing hard as he opened his mouth to speak but he couldn't find the words.

"You don't have to tell me yet... I was just curious" I explained and he visibly relaxed before sighing.

"No I should tell you" He said and let out a breath.
