Chapter 17 Losing Everything

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

31 August 2015

Noelle

I have no heart, just ice and stone, made up of nails and teeth and bone. And I know exactly what I'm for: to hurt and destroy...nothing more. If it's true that I was made this way... I still don't know if I can change. But something has stirred. A beast has awakened, opened a door. There's no mistaking, it's waging a war. It's fighting inside of me.

Alexis

Michael looked stern as he stood before me. It had been a month since Noelle had been lost to us. Gabe was certain that she was still alive. But we all were starting to feel the absence of the feisty brunette. I glanced to where Vergil read in his chair, keenly aware of the conversation I was having with my brother.

"I will not waver on this. The Creator may not have requested it. But I am telling you that you are being pulled off the case." Michael growled.

"I told you. I won't leave my sister behind. Sage is safe here. I am safe. Noelle left of her own accord." I folded my arms over my chest.

"I don't give a flying feather! You will return to the Island. As will Sage and the other Valkyrie. Where we can keep you safe." Michael snapped.

"Speak to her in that tone again, and I will pluck your fucking wings." My lovers voice cut through the office space.

Vergil's book snapped shut, dropping to the coffee table with a soft thump. My lover stood with ease and grace, his coat still laying on the arm of the chair. He walked down the steps to stand before me, one arm gently pushing me behind him. He had become quite volatile in regard to me lately, even the slightest thing setting him off. It was mostly Michael that made him angry.

"You come preaching safety. No place on earth is safer for Alexis or Sage. We would die before we let them come to harm." Vergil sneered.

"This doesn't concern half breeds like you." Michael started.

"The fuck it doesn't. She belongs to me. She is mine in every way." Vergil cut him off.

"Are you threatening me, Son of Sparda?" Michael asked grimly.

"I do not threaten. I make a promise. You asked me to protect her. I have. And I will continue. I'd kill for her. If you wanted to keep her pure and safe, you should have chained her up in heaven. But if you try to take Alexis from me, I will rip off your fucking wings and fuck her on a bed of your feathers." Vergil's voice was even, but even I heard the hiss of his demon in them.

Michael glared at my lover before disappearing in a flash of warm light. I took in a sharp breath as my lover turned to me. He took my hand and pulled me close. He tucked his face into my neck, licking my pulse point as he breathed me in. The glow of his demon in his eyes faded.

"Let them try to take you from me. If they want a monster, I'll give them one. But you are mine, my little dove. And I will not tolerate the disrespect of what is mine." He murmured, pressing a kiss to my hair.
