~~ AZRAEL'S POV: ~~
I smacked Barakiel out of the way grabbed my sister from his tightened grasp "are you okay?" I asked feigning worry more for Barakiel's sake then my sisters, I knew what had happened because I'd seen her shocked face, I thought because we'd been cast down from that the visions would stop but I guess Father didn't want that to happen "Have you eaten enough today?"
"I had an apple at lunch" she mumbled following my lead and putting on the innocent act perfectly.
"You keep forgetting that you're in a human body now, humans need sustenance" I looked at Barakiel who was still staring shocked at Laoel "I'd thank you for helping keep her upright during her dizzy spell but that would mean being nice to you and I can't be bothered to waste the energy on that" my snap forced him out of whatever thoughts he was stuck in and he glanced at me.
"Oh... umm... yeah" he took a step back but his eyes were trained on Laoel like she'd sprouted another head, "I thought I saw something, in her eyes" he looked closer at her but I stepped in his way.
"It was probably her eyes rolling back into her head thanks to your demons interrupting her lunch" I growled, making sure my eyes didn't flash black like they usually do when I'm pissed off.
"Right, that was probably it" he turned and walked away from us and I followed his movements before looking down at my sister.
"Are you alright?" I asked her, she just nodded her head stiffly and met my eyes slowly, like she was afraid of me "I'm going to be home late tonight, I got detention because Beelzebub was getting a little too grabby during my English class" I smiled as I remember the feel of his nose breaking under my fist.
"Oh okay, want me to cook dinner?" she asked as she fiddled with the hem of her shirt.
"No, we'll order in" I mumbled with a smile "how does pizza sound?" I wanted to make, whatever had her shying away from me, better so I decided bribing her with her favourite human food would work. It did.
"Really?" she asked with a smile, meeting my eyes fully, worry still lingered in them but it was pushed back thanks to the lure of food "can we get some desert with it as well?"
"Sure, we'll have whatever you like" I smiled "remember to lock the doors and make sure you stay out of the woods" I kissed her cheek and walked away from her, something happened during her vision, and that something couldn't be good.
~~ Hours Later ~~
Detention that's what I get for protecting myself from a Handsy Devil, no warning just a big, fat boring detention and don't get me started on that Vampire teacher, he stalked me all day, making snide comments about how good my blood would taste. Slipping out of the school's main doors I headed to the shortcut through the woods to get home.
halfway through the woods, an anguished scream reached my ears and being the curious Angel that I was I took off running towards where the scream had come from "This is for not joining Z and his cause" there was a snap of bones and a females scream was heard again.
"Hey assholes" I shouted as I stepped into the clearing where the demons and wolf pack stood, I moved in between them and put my back to the wolves "don't make me rearrange those shitty little demon faces of yours" I said with a menacing smile, most of the 8 demons scoffed "Just like I did for your little ring leader, Z is it?" I chuckled when the demons looked at each other.
"Fucking kill her already" the demon bitch from lunch shouted as she stepped closer to the leader of their little group "bitch broke my leg and hurt Z"
"Oh, sweetie" I cooed with a sickly sweet smile on my face as the demons ready themselves to charge at me "know when you're beaten, that's the first rule when fighting an Angel" with a snarl the demon bitch charged forward and collided with a large black wolf. 'Oh, I've been waiting for a good fight for a while' with that thought ringing in my head I ran at the nearest demon and slammed my fist into his face. This was going to be fun.
~~ Home ~~
Sighing I removed my clothing gingerly and threw my tattered shirt into the basket, blood and bruises marked my once pristine skin, the demons punches had landed on every major organ and weak spots on my body. I'm sure I looked like some horror movie reject, my back was black and blue, my face was swollen and my left eye had turned a milky blue because the Demon Bitch had been wearing a ring.
Licking my bloodied lips, I leaned against the bathroom basin and turned on the shower, sipping the whisky that I had brought in with me I shivered as a gust of air rush throughout the room and my Fathers face floated behind me in the mirror.
"Here to watch me suffer?" I rasped out blinking the dried blood out of my eyes, I watched him as he moved forward and touch my back "Please take a seat I'll have one of the staff make you some popcorn" I mumbled bitterly with an eye roll, well a partial eye roll, only one was working now, I put down the empty glass and turned to him.
"I'm not here to watch you die" he mumbled patting my head gingerly so he wouldn't hurt me, light flooded the room and my wounds healed almost instantly, my eyes turned back to their normal icy blue and dried blood flaked off of my skin and fell to the floor "you have a job to do and I'm making sure you can do it"
There was a banging on the door and I knew without a doubt it was Laoel "Az!" another bang happened and the door rattled on it's not too sturdy hinges "Seriously open the door, I saw and heard you come in. I know you're covered in blood" there was yet another bang and dust filled the room "Godammit" she shouted from the other side of the door.
"She's been with you for too long" Father mumbled with a wink "she's beginning to sound like you" with that he disappeared right as Laoel smashed the door off the frame.
Stumbling into the room, she rushed over to me and started to look at my now healed skin "I thought" she mumbled with a frown, a smile tugged at my lips and I shook my head we were roughly the same age, our Father made us only minutes apart but it was still a shock to see her fussing over me like she was older "no I saw your wounds" her eyes widened when they met mine and I grinned harder.
"I'm fine" I swatted her hands away from me and glanced down at my undressed figure "You wanna step away so I can have a shower, I kinda smell" I moved her away but she stubbornly stood in the room as I undressed and stepped into the shower.
"Tell me what happened" she demanded as I put my face under the water to wash off any leftover dried blood.
"Just a fight between wolves and demons" I replied as I began to wash my hair with my organic shampoo "good news is the Wolves owe me one" I paused and washed the soap suds out of my hair "bad news is that the demons now want to deliver my head on a silver platter to their demon king Beelzebub" I turned off the water and opened the shower door "pass me my towel?" the black fluffy towel that I favoured was thrown at my face.
"What do you mean the wolves owe you?" she asked as I stepped out of the cubical with the towel around my body.
"I mean I saved their Alpha from certain death, they owe me quite a lot" I grinned, I wasn't going to make them go into battle for me, it was more like I wanted answers and they would have to give them to me "are you going to tell me what that vision was about today, or are you going to keep trying to distract me?" Laoel glanced at me with shock clear on her face and I just smiled kindly at her.
I had to know why she looked at me like I just slaughtered an entire village again.
