An Angel's Demon ~ *sequel to A Demon's Angel*

Chapter 7

Return Arc-Glossy Leaves

It was happening again. Drew heard the hustle of feet on the floor above him. Something was going on. And they weren't going to tell him what. Drew sighed. Why does this keep happening? Could it be...someone was trying to...save him?

"That's foolish to even think about!" He scolded himself, the May-is-doing-something-stupid-for-him feel rose up in his stomach. "May can't do a thing! She has no idea where am I-if she even knows what happened to me-how to find me, and what to do when she finds out!"

He let out a long sigh. "I miss her." The Demon slowly pulled his knees to his chest. "A lot."

She stared at the barren landscape, pushing a pink-red strand of hair behind her ear. It was happening again. She watched the jail guards switch out. Bile rose in her mouth at the thought of what they were doing in there.

The Angel turned slowly and walked to a far wall. There was only one picture on this wall. One small picture.

A picture with five people in it. A woman with long pink-red hair with a baby in her arms. Two other small children looking over at the infant.

A tear fell from the Angel's eye.

The last member of the once happy family was smiling at the infant as well, his own hair color showing up in non of the children-though neither did the mother's.

Solidad reach out and ran a finger over the three children. An icy hand gripped her heart.Her children, what happened to them was a something she did not know. All she knew was that their fate was her fault. She slipped to her knees, crying.

"My dear Harley," She spoke quietly as if the spirit was in the room. "Could you forgive me for doing it?" No one answered her heart broken question. "My children, would you forgive me for what I did to keep us together?"

"Can we come! Can we come! Can we come! Can we come!" Laramie, Moe, and Yippy chanted for the one million seven hundredth and eighty fifth time.

"NO!" Timble roared. "You can't go! You're a liability! If something happened to you, who do you think is going to get in trouble?"

"Um," Laramie thought is over. "You?"

"Yes, so no, you can't go," Timble took a breath to calm his nerves. The little one sighed, sulking back to the house. Everyone-Demon and Angel alike-stood outside waiting for Ash and Misty to return with the portal to near were Rogue lives.

May gulped. Everyone knew about Solidad. She asked for exile from Heaven found guilty for raising zombies instead of death. They say Solidad was trying to raise an army against Heaven. Though May could recall a million rumors about it flying around at some time or another.

"What is taking them so long!" Paul grumbled.

"I have a guess," Leaf grinned.

"You do? What?" Dawn blinked.

"Well, seeing as-unlike Gary-Ash has the family jewels-" Leaf was cut off by the handle of a scythe blade hitting her head.

"You where saying?" Misty growled.

"Gary! Go get your honor back and protect me!" Leaf pushed Gary in front of her. The Demon blinked but did nothing. "I can't believe this! I didn't kick you that hard! Come on!"

"I know where my victories lie, and they're not with Misty," Gary paused. "Though being with the Grim Reaper would be one Hell of a night." The Demon chortled. Ash glowered, grabbed the scythe from Misty and brought it down on Gary's head.
