Strange Creatures

Bad Boy Not So Bad Boy

We flew to Ireland for about 15 hours. We landed in Dublin at 6pm local time and rented a car. It was late so i suggested to stay somewhere for the night. Andrew agreed and luckily we found a quiet motel on our way out of Dublin. We checked in and found our way into our room. 

The room was nothing special with wooden double bed, small tv, bathroom and old furniture and wallpaper.

''I hope this room works out for you.'' Andrew opened all the drawers and doors like he wished to find something.

I smirked and sat down on the bed. ''Dear Andrew, I couldn't care less what this room looked like. I'm only here for one thing.''

''Is that me, Angel?'' He smirked.

I got up from the bed. I felt like he tried to irritate me for a reason and wanted to slap him but left the thought right there. ''You are not allowed to call me that and there was a good god damn reason i wanted to come here alone. I need air.'' I left the room and "super" ran a few miles away from the motel, but of course he followed.

''Damn you're slow.'' He laughed and stopped me by taking my hand.

''Andrew i really need to be alone right now and the last thing i need is you around irritating me.'' He managed a slick look on his face and walked behind me, put his hands on mine and i could feel his breath on my neck.

''Am i making you nervous... Angel?'' I turned around to face him and made a shy face and when he believed it i punched him so he fell down. ''Why do you act like you own the world.'' Having said that i left.

I opened my eyes in the morning at 5am. I looked around and saw that Andrew had made himself comfortable on the floor. He was still asleep. I quietly put on my black ripped high-wasted jeans and white shirt, black knee-high boots and a leather jacket. I took my stuff and quietly left the room without waking Andrew up. I walked up to the black BMW G30 that we had rented. I started the engine and took off to the palace. I knew Andrew was only here so he could stop me but i'm not gonna let him and for sure am i not gonna have him come with me.

I can't risk anyone getting hurt.

Andrew's P.O.V

I woke up by the sun shining through the curtains right into my eyes. I leaned on my elbows and tried to make my eyes see clear again. I searched for my phone in the pockets to check the time and it was 8:26am. I got up slowly and i was ready to say good morning to Hope but she wasn't in the bed. I looked the bathroom but it was also empty. I then tried calling her but her phone kept going to voicemail.

''Fuck!'' I yelled sliding my hands through my hair. I now had to do something i least dreamed of doing. I dialed Damon's number and pressed call. 

''To what i own the pleasure of YOU calling me?'' Damon sounded quite calm, which made me nervous for the first time ever talking to him.

''I can't believe that i'm saying this, but ahem... i need you and asap.'' I sounded pretty freaked out.

''Whoa, okay, why should i help you?'' 

''You're right you don't but you have to stop Hope!'' 

''What did you do?'' His voice lowered and he asked it with anger.

''The day you had found all the journals and stuff she took some of them home and she found something which she is after right now. The morning after i was kind of following her because i felt like she was about to do something and i saw her rushing to her car and everything so i tried to stop her from doing anything stupid but she wouldn't listen and said that she was going to Ireland. I convinced her to take me with her so i could protect her. I hoped that i could stop her going to Charles but it didn't work out. I woke up this morning and she was gone with her stuff and the car... i'm so sorry but I need you to fly to Ireland with the next flight. Maybe she listens to you. She's going to get herself killed Damon.'' This was the first time I was actually scared of what he would have to say.

''Why didn't you tell me the moment you knew she wanted to go to Charles?'' He was mad. ''It's kind of late now darling, by the time i get there she might already be dead, you HAVE to find her or at least buy me A LOT of time. But you're dead anyway.'' He hung up after having said that.

I quickly ran to the nearest car i could see and just broke into it. I hoped my necklace would give me a sign if i was near her.

Hope's P.O.V

The Nephilim live near Blackvalley. Their palace is invisible to the eyes of the mortals. Since there is no exact map to the location i just circled around the area to find the castles. 

I had read from the journals that Nephilim use rare flowers called Tacca chantrieri, also known as Black bat flowers, around their palace to protect themselves and their home. The flowers have been there since the palace was built and contain magic because usually given flowers can not tolerate such climate and live as long as thousands of years.  The flowers can not be torn from the ground or destroyed but should it ever happen, it is believed that the palace will collapse and Nephilim will seize to exist. But I will use them as my guide.

Driving around in a car didn't get me anywhere so i decided to stop by the road to go on by foot. The mountains were breathtaking and mysterious in a sense, as if they were keeping secrets. I walked along a path which went uphill and along the path i saw the Tacca chantrieri flower in its full glory. I knew the palace needed to be around the corner so i kept walking. When i reached the top of the mountain i saw a beautiful set of palaces lay in the valley. It had a black lake in the middle of the courtyard.

I stood there for about 10 minutes thinking about my past life for a moment because i wasn't sure if i'll ever get out alive. At this point i had even forgotten why was i doing this. But i wasn't planning on leaving without confronting Charles.
