Fragile Heart (Niam)

Chapter Ten: Hot Pink Flames

Warning: things are going to get messy. Also once you get to the foreign language part this is not Latin Google translate says it's "Purgatory burns sins."

----------

I've been played. Smith is an abstract male who is a real female named Sophia. I have to focus in order to keep myself from collapsing on the floor. I point my gun at Sophia, even though I know that it is a dumb move; the woman has the ability to stop projectiles.

"Put that gun away," Sophia sweetly berates. "We both know that those human bullets don't work on me. Besides, I know the question you really want to ask. And I think I might have an answer."

I look away, jaw clenched tight. I hate that she knew.

"I did my homework on you, that's why," she answers my unspoken question. "Your name is Liam Payne. Sixteen years old - your birthday was a month ago. A demon, a very powerful one at that. You live with your father because your mother dropped you off at his doorstep when you were born." I can feel my pupils expanding until there is almost no white.

"Your killings skyrocketed about three months ago. Don't know the reason why but do not fret. I will find out the reason," she sing out in a high pitch.

The blood running in my veins stops cold. Niall. She can't know about him. She said she doesn't know the reason, but she cannot know about my angel. I silently growl, the primal instinct to lunge and rip her throat very hard to distract.

"If you plan on killing me, you should do it now," I bite back. Sophia raises her eyebrow before putting a finger over her lips to stop her silent laughter. That doesn't stop the bitch's shoulders from shaking, though.

She flips her hair back and stares back with her deadly brown gaze. "Because killing you is not my mission. And even if it was, it wouldn't be all that fun." Of course, me being filled with one of the deadly sins of pride, my ego takes a hit. What the hell do you mean I am not worth it? I'm gracing the bitch's presence right now. The anger inside of me bubbles and bubbles until it flows over. I pull the trigger repeatedly until there are no more bullets and all I hear is the silent clicking of the gun. Like I predicted, each bullet defies gravity at the wave of Sophia's fingers. However, before she can drop the bullets like the first time, raw dark energy collects itself around me. I snap my fingers and growl out another incantation: "Infernum in caveam."

The floating orbs of dark energy surrounding me catch fire and all at once they surround the woman before exploding into a spinning inferno of Hellfire. I breath out a sigh of relief. That should hold her for a while until I can make my way to Louis and Harry.

Immediately, a loud feminine laughter rings out of the flames and throughout the cabin. Damn it, less time than I hoped for. The fabric of matter rips apart and repairs itself when I find myself at the first rendezvous point: the tree Louis climbed.

"LOUIS!" I yell out. Immediately, one of the trees rustles and Louis hops out from one of the branches. Letting out a shaky breath, I can't stop myself from pulling him in my arms and roughly patting his back.

"Umm, are you alright?" he reluctantly questions. I push him away from me and place my hands on his shoulders. "I'll explain everything but we need to get to Harry." Before the vampire can protest or question, I grip his hand tightly, close my eyes and then RIP! When I open my eyes, Louis and I are at the point that Harry probably is. Damn him being a nature manipulating werewolf. I turn around and see the vampire hunched over with his hands on his knees.

"Next time, warn me before you tear apart the universe to travel," Louis lets out with a shaky breath. Ignoring him, I run towards the opening where I think Harry hid himself and start to rummage through the knee-high blades of grass. I scavenge through the foliage by the side of the road for what seems like forever. Frustrated, I scream out and kick a tree.
