Jennifer laughed to herself at the sight of her old comrade Peter and his possible girlfriend. Not once had she imagined Peter coming to her. Especially when it came to those tarot cards that she pulled in front of him. The death card was one of the items that she remembered. It had only happened a few days ago but at least she had said in the matter. Of course, the death card was either going to mean Peter's demise or it could mean the angels. Tarot cards were mysterious, but the second card was about the devil. One way or the other, Lucifer was going to come out from hell even if that meant she found a way around it.
"Funny you show yourself in these... conditions," Jennifer chuckled.
The look on Peter and Althea's face was priceless, she could deal with things like that. Something that she always cherished. What else could she have done anyway?
"Where are they?" Althea asked.
"Oh, someone is an eager beaver," Jennifer said. "If you mean the angels, they were here but then they weren't,"
Jennifer watched Althea's hand clench. She rolled her eyes but the minute she looked down at Althea's hand something appeared in it. Mostly out of thin air. The dagger's handle was small but not only was the weapon in the shape of an I, but the dagger also was made entirely out of bone. Jennifer grew even more surprised. Althea had conjured not only a dagger but was able to keep the weapon solid.
The dagger extended to a point.
"What is this?" Adam said.
"You kidnapped my angel and my friend's angel," Althea said. "You'll pay for that!"
The servants reacted easily as Peter and Althea attacked them. Summoning their own weapons, the three landed in a tussle. But Jennifer was one step ahead, as Althea came racing at her, with a quick swift move of her hand she flung Althea against the wall. Althea groaned as she recovered from the attack. Peter on the other hand wasn't haven't much luck since he was going up against Alex and Adam his two former friends. Alex snuck up behind Peter, but he had easily fought back and knocked him into Adam.
Althea groaned and stood; Jennifer walked over to her slowly.
"You know what's sad?" Jennifer said.
"The fact that you'll lose?" Althea questioned.
"No, the fact that we stole your angels right under your noses," Jennifer chuckled.
Anger flooded throughout Althea's blood as she swung her dagger and struck Jennifer in the arm. Blood started pouring out of the wound as Jennifer screamed from the blunt attack.
"You'll pay for that!" Althea exclaimed.
*~*~*
Abigail Attacked Mammon, who avoided her attacks at whichever chance he got. The demon wasn't expecting Abigail to become stronger. How else could he even expect the girl to get stronger. But he knew how to get around this, demons always did, all you had to do was get inside their head.
"I'm surprised that you're willing to go up against a demon," Mammon said. "Didn't think you had it in you,"
Abigail ignored him.
"I mean first, you felt useless like you were the only one who couldn't do anything," Mammon mocked.
He evaded another attack.
"Now you're beginning to get stronger, I wonder where you learned that from," Mammon watched as that seemed to have cut through her skin.
Summoning his own weapon, a double-edged sword and fought back. Swords clanged together causing sparks to fly off the blades. Mammon didn't care, all Abigail was, was another thorn in his side. Not willing to continue fighting with such a useless fighter. He stepped back and kicked her in the stomach. Knocking the air right out of her body.
"I don't have time for this, take your angels, but just remember," said Mammon. "You will not see the end of me."
In nothing but black smoke, Mammon vanished and traveled to a better location where he would be able to summon his brother.
*~*~*
Abigail sighed in relief as she only delayed the process of Mammon summoning his brother. But something was off, she couldn't figure it out yet however, she wasn't about to let something like that get in her way. She raced over to the angels who were surprised to see that she'd been able to summon her weapon.
At the same time, they were proud of her. Instead of her doubting herself she at least kept her spiritual weapon solid.
"Abigail that was a very stupid thing you did," Emily stated.
"It's nice seeing you too," Abigail said. "And your welcome,"
Emily rolled her eyes.
"Watch it missy," Abigail responded.
"Okay can the two of you argue about this later?" Ezra asked. "Abigail just gets us out of here,"
Abigail nodded and began to fiddle with the lock. However, when it did not budge, she stepped back held up her katana and slashed the locks. Sparks flew from them while it broke and freed Ezra and Emily. Although, when she looked at Ezra, she noticed that something was off about him. His eyes weren't as determined and protective as they were before.
"Ezra?" Abigail questioned.
"Nothing," Ezra responded.
Abigail hesitated. The angel began to look human. She didn't know what else she could do. Especially since his skin was paler than usual and he began to look like the guy from a television show. Abigail shrugged that off as Emily didn't give her a chance to ask questions, she zapped them out from the open and made their way to Peter and Althea's location.
*~*~*
Still stuck fighting the servants, Peter and Althea found themselves close to losing. Despite the many times they were going up against them. Jennifer kept getting inside Althea's head, Alex and Adam were fighting Peter basically making him exhausted. Alex used a spell to keep Peter in place before tossing him into a wall.
Peter groaned in pain as he pushed himself to his feet and made his way over to Althea. Who just get struck with a blade against her skin.
"Well look at that," Jennifer said. "I wonder if you recall those Tarot cards Peter, wasn't one of them the death card?"
"What Tarot card?" Althea asked confused.
Jennifer chuckled.
"Oh Peter, you didn't tell her about your reading?" Jennifer asked.
"Peter?" Althea said.
"It's nothing!" Peter exclaimed.
The last thing Peter needed was a damn witch trying to screw things over with a girl that he liked.
"Wow... I'm shocked at you," Jennifer stated. "Here, I thought you had said something to her," she continued. "Well... I guess that means..."
Before Jennifer could finish her thoughts, a flash of lightning struck near her feet, causing her to jump out of the way and into her friends. Right before them, she could see Abigail and the Angels standing before them.
