Wings

Chapter Four

You were sitting with Jacob though he was a few stools away. His leg was shaking unable to believe he was about to give away his body. He's accepting it holding his stones in his lap. You decide to give him a few of your own hoping it'll get him into the back. You could always have sex with him if he needed though you were hoping it wouldn't come to that. You're afraid it'll get in the way, and he'll form attachments. It's hard for him to do that with someone he'll never see again. You watch as someone lands a hand on his shoulder it being Joshua. Oh hell. You can't hear as the two made small talk though you were proud of Jacob's secductiom and coolness. You were almost glad for it though he's just using him for information. At least you three were all on the same side though the appearance of the two are dangerous. The last thing you'll want is for him to be killed. You'll have to give him a briefing though on keeping his mouth shut on the safe zone. You plan on keeping the two worlds separate: the elite and the Hunters. You don't even know if they know the term of you guys, and that's what you respect most. You glanced in their direction to find them gone behind that door.

You suddenly have company Valentine taking a seat beside you. You nodded in his direction as you down another shot. He calls for one himself and another for his friend. He gets out the citrine he took from you and put it in between you two. You glanced down at it not ready for this conversation.

" Where did you get it?"

" The store."

You take the drink as he laughs. You could see the irritation in his eyes as he didn't get the right answer. He looks back at the door where that boy disappeared into and turns to you with his eyes flaring red and appearing snake revealing his own demon his tongue forking as he gets closer to you. It brings out a growl in you alerting whoever heard. He looks into your eyes going deep into your psyche to reveal your worse memories as a punishment.

" Let me go! Let me fucking go! I'll kill you all!"

Screaming goes all around in your head begging for the ritual to stop. You suddenly growled at Valentine for it to stop not able to control yourself as your eyes began to bleed black it dotting the bar's counter. Valentine pursed his lips not liking what he's seeing. It suddenly goes quiet in your head.

" I told you I would kill you. *laughter* Now look at you. You fucked with the wrong girl, and now, you're all burning in hell. *insane laughter*."

" Well, aren't you a survivor. Now don't make me dive any more deeper. Tell me where you got it."

" I survived the massacre of my occult and took it."

" Which. One."

" The Scriptures."

" How?"

He was looking at you with such a serious expression.

" Easy. Poison can't kill me."

You asked for another drink, but he grips your wrist a bit pissed.

" You don't seem mornful for them."

" I had been wanting out."

" So you became a thief?"

He spits at your feet.

" Those children would of been thrown away, and you know it. I did a favor."

" Where's the rest?"

" At home."

" You will bring them to me-"

" Or what?"

You hated the situation you were in, but what the hell do you do? He brings back out his eyes when someone makes their way behind you clinging to your arm.

" Are you going to take me to the Red room now?"

" No. She.... Diana. Stay away from her."

Well, this is a surprise. It was the healer from the safe zone, and she gives Valentine pleading eyes making him blush. Holy fuck, is she fucking the elite. Well done. You were impressed. Her golden locks shined in the bar's light her green icy eyes taking on their blue once again.

" Trust me Valentine. She means good."

" Darling, why don't I take you to the Black rooms instead. I know how your body ticks."

" But I promise this Goddess I give her a good time."

" As long as you promise that I'm next."

The bartender serves you another drink feeling like you needed it. You down it easily Valentine calling you a drunk before walking away with miss Barbie the rock still in hand. You smiled actually relishing the fact he was walking away. The bartender comes in close suddenly causing you to sit up straight.

" Don't get yourself killed kid."

You just nod deciding to pay your tab and leaving. You waited outside for Jacob hoping Diana won't be mad at you standing her up. It was for your safety along with the hunters. You see the boy come outside his hair a mess and him blushing. You smirked as you tell him to hurry along not wanting to be spotted together. He nods the walk to your apartment silent. You finally asked the question you wish someone asked you after your first time.

" Are you okay?"

" Y-Yea. It wasn't bad. Thanks for asking."

" Get use to it kid. You have to do it to blend in, and after a while, you kind of want to for the stones."

He nods before you two say your goodnights leaving you alone once again.
