Angel POV

Adam's last words send shivers down my spine. I look over at Husk to make sure he's alright and I see marks and scratches all over, but nothing too bad... at least that I can see. He looks past me and I turn around to see Neveah rushing towards me- relief in her eyes as she checks me for wounds.

"Angel! Thank the stars you're okay!" As surprised as I am to see her- I'm actually kind of happy she's alive. She brings me into a hug.

I hug her back slightly and she quickly pulls away, tugging a loose piece of hair behind her ear, "Sorry, I forgot you don't like hugs," she chuckles apologetically.

"It's fine. Are you okay? What are you doing here?" I look her up and down to see that she's scratch-free.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay, you've been so busy lately and I haven't gotten to talk to you much, either," She explains, "although now isn't the best time, I just wanted to see you safe. You've helped me so much!"

"Not really, just some tips." I shrug and she rolls her eyes in disbelief.

"More than that!" She fiddles with her hands worriedly, "But this time, I want to help you- you need to-"

"Amorcito!" I hear Valentino's voice and Neveah immediately stops talking pleading me something with her eyes. I turn around to see Valentino coming towards us.

I tense up, my hand going to one of my guns. His stupid smoke fills the area around us, building into a large manipulative cloud. Memories flood back to me and I have a hard time finding control of myself.

"What are you doing here?" I sneer, watching as Valentino's eyes run over me.

"Oh, I'm here to end all this bullshit."

Suddenly there's a loud bang and angels somehow come out from nowhere- it's almost as if they were disguised...

"Get off me!" I hear Husk shout. My gaze snaps to him. I see him being attacked by what is supposedly Velvette and Vox. They don't look like themselves, though, as I'm they look like their skin is melting off.

Husk's eyes roll to the back of his head as Velvette smacks his head with a bat made of angelic steel. I gasp at the cracking sound that his head makes and I flinch. I feel Valentino latch onto my arm.

"HUSK!"

His hot breath comes to my face as he squeezes my arm enough that I just know it'll bruise tomorrow. "I got you now, Angel Dust," I scream in his ear and that distracts him for a moment.

I jab him with my elbow in the stomach and get away.

"FUCK YOU ANGEL! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" I grab a gun and point it at Val.

He holds his hands up in surprise, "Heh, you wouldn't dare, Angelito."

I laugh in annoyance and anger, "Oh I definitely would. Maybe not back then but now? Oh, Toñito, you've changed everything I ever thought about you." My finger hits the trigger and the bullet digs into his shoulder, I fire another at his foot but miss as he steps away.
