A Twist of Fate

Chapter 15: What's a Sirex?

"A dark angel" As these words left Cordelia's lips, Angelo's wings became white again. My jaw dropped at this act, I couldn't process how he changed his wings' colors. Emily was still wriggling out of the ropes but failing miserable. Muffled screams were coming from her duct taped mouth, probably screaming profanities at us. Angelo ignored her and walked towards us to release us. He opened the cage's door and let us out.

"I'm sure you all have questions, but we have better things to worry about right now. Cordelia and Amanda examine the reservoirs." We both nodded and got to work. He then turned to Malefica and said, "As for you, use your strengths to trace the past maybe you'll find out something useful to prove Adam guilty."

"What about you?" Malefica said astonished.

"I'm taking care of this angel hunter." He said as he kneeled down to be face-to-face with Emily, who was now glaring at him. Angelo had shocked us all. It's like in the movie Paul Blart Mall cop, at first u see him as an innocent Veck Sims who is as creeped out from Paul and everything as a fly caught by a spider's web, and then BAM!! SUPER BADASS GANG LEADER with the leather jacket and all.

Nonetheless, Cordelia and I searched the endless potion shelves. So far we collected a truth serum, we thought it might come in handy later. We searched some more but couldn't find anything but poison potions. I sighed and looked at Cordelia only to see she wasn't beside me anymore. I turned around and I saw her studying an empty flask, I took slow steps towards her and she looked at me and whispered.

"This is what your father used on your mother." I scrutinized the flask and then gave it back to her, this thing killed my mother, and I didn't want anything to do with it.

"Guys you won't believe what I found, come quick!" Malefica yelled. Malefica had found a parchment it was my father's biography but what shocked me most was the following part, "It is said that Cornileus has had an affair with a Sirex during his confinement and apparently has given birth to another child."

"What's a Sirex?" I wondered aloud.

"A Sirex is a female creature known for its beauty but also its wickedness. Sirexes usually mate with demons and dark angels, and give off human off springs with supernatural powers. They absolutely fear fallen angels and obey their every command. However they feed on human souls and sometimes their children's" Malefica replied.

"My dad had an affair with THAT? WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!!"

"He wasn't, he's always been very spontaneous and irrational in his life." Cordelia smiled sadly as if a thousand memories had just crossed her mind.

"Well besides this parchment I think this place is pretty useless. We should go back and rest we've all had quite a day." Angelo concluded.

"What about her?" Malefica said nodding her head towards Emily. Angelo smirked and said, "I think she needs some alone time with her grandfather." I saw Emily's eyes widen and she started squirming in her seat.

"We can't leave her here Angelo, we need to report her to the higher council, what if she escapes and gets us in more trouble." Malefica said in a panicked tone. For once Malefica was the frantic one and Angelo the laid back one. It was strange seeing the tables turned. However, Malefica was right we couldn't leave Emily here.

"Don't worry I've already taken care of it. They'll come and fetch her from here tomorrow."

"What are you talking about the council has no authority here, they can't even enter these grounds." Malefica questioned.

"Philip Morris" Two words from Angelo made Cordelia and Malefica gasp. This is getting infuriating who is this guy and why can't I understand anything in this world. They have too many hidden things, too many myths, too many legends, too many mysteries. Angelo must have noticed my silence and studied my facial expression and figured out my internal rant. Yeah another thing I don't like this telepathic thing. Angelo laughed okay so he was straight up reading my mind now. So I shouted, in my mind, STOP READING MY MIND

"Why the glum face?" Angelo asked in a teasing way. Was he not reading my mind after all? Gosh this is so confusing!

"Who's Philip Morris?"

"One of our best warriors also the head of the dark angels. Only he has the right to navigate in these grounds and that is only to bring back weapons or material to fabricate weapons." Angelo finished his explanation and I nodded. "Well then if you're all done with your questions let's go" everyone was silent as we got back. No one asked Angelo about anything and he didn't bring it up either.

*Uknown's P.O.V.*

I walked in to the reservoir to find Emily all tied up and a tape over her mouth. It was hilarious to be honest but I was mad. Our plan had failed again, Emily was too weak for anything. Hmph and she brags about being an angel hunter.

I started clapping to grab her attention, she jumped a little but then she saw me and she stiffened instantly. She was gazing down at the ground, it's like she was fascinated by her shoes. I don't blame her I wouldn't dare to look at my direction if I were her either. I approached her, raised her head and ripped off the tape quickly. She screamed loudly almost startling me so I slapped her. I wasn't usually violent but hey I'm pissed and she was the reason.

"So a little birdy told me YOU FAILED!!" She didn't answer instead she lowered her gaze. "ANSWER ME DAMMIT! HOW DID YOU LET THEM ESCAPE AND YOU DO REALIZE HOW EMBARASSED I AM BY YOU"

"I'm sorry it's just..."

"YOU SORRY?? SORRY'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH NOW IS IT?? IS YOUR APOLOGY GOING TO BRING THEM BACK AND IMPRISON THEM IN THAT CAGE?? IS YOUR SORRYGOING TO BRING AMANDA BACK TO ME??"

"Is this what this is all about? You getting Amanda and that's it. What about us? Do I even mean anything to you?"

"I told you to not fall in love with me"

"Well then I hope you know that your precious Amanda is in love with that dark angel Angelo"

"WHAAAAT???!!" I yelled as I approached her in a threatening manner. I looked her dead in the eyes and said as slowly and in my lowest and most threatening voice. "Amanda is mine and she will always be mine. No one will ever take her away from me" With that I left her there tied to her chair, ignoring her screams and pleas to take her with me. Hmph should've thought of that before mentioning a dark angel. Wait a minute Angelo isn't a dark angel? What's that stupid bitch talking about? I should investigate more..pfft
