Angel of Darkness

Shit...

Christopher finishes nailing up a large board over the now broken window while Evermore sweeps up the glass and Evangeline looks over the arrow. "I don't understand... How did he find out? He had left you guys before my father came to you so it's not like he was in there with you guys" I say as I sit at the booth, trying to figure all of this out. Evangeline looks up at me and frowns. "There are very few times that I leave this place unattended. One day, shortly after your father visited me, I left to come get some herbs from a witch a few miles away from here. When I came back, my door was slightly open. I ran downstairs and I didn't see anything disturbed but I knew someone had visited. Someone evil. I felt the presence of a demon but I was confused because I have wards all over this place to keep those bastards out' she paused for a moment and set the arrow in front of me 'Someone had disrupted the ward sigils that I had put down. I looked through everything but nothing was taken. I didn't think anything of it. Jake must've sent a demon to collect the information on you and your father" She sits on the ground and starts to wiggle her fingers as small neon green sparks flew from her fingertips. I pick up the arrow and sit in front of her on the floor. "I still don't get it. How would he have known to look for stuff on my father... How would he know that I, who was yet to be born, was who he was looking for?" I asked, so confused on all of this. "Elizabeth... you must understand that Jake is so much more powerful than you would think. Granted, He's not as powerful as you could ever be... but he's still really powerful. You've seen his magic. You've seen how easy it is for him to manipulate the mind. What people see, hear, felt, even their memories... he can manipulate and twist them." Christopher says as he sets the hammer and remaining nails on the counter.

I look down. "So what do we do now? He still has my mom and best friend at that warehouse place. I have no idea what he wants from me" Christopher stops me. "Actually... you do know what he wants' I look at him confused 'one of the times he created the illusions that I was the bad guy... he told you that he wanted you as his bride, whether you wanted to be or not" I look at Christopher stupidly. "So he doing all of this" I motion towards the window and arrow 'because he wants to marry me?" I ask. "You're the Tenebris Angelus. When you marry-' I interrupt rather quickly "Who says that I'm getting married to anyone?' I ask with an angry tone. "Well the Tenebris Angelus usually gets married and we they do, their partner gets part of your power" I laugh a little. Like anyone would marry me for love. Evermore looks up at me for a moment but quickly looks away. "So he wants more power? Well if he has to get married to me to do so, then he failed because he can't force me to do that... can he?" I ask but my question was not answered for several tall robed men appear out of no wear in a flash of blue light.

One of the robed men begins to speak. "Ruin Pilin' you are to be taken to the elvish court to be judged by our king and queen. Your father, an elf, and your mother, a mundane, commited a crime in creating you, a discraceful half-breed. Come with us in peace or your mother shall not be treated as kindly as she has been so far." Shit...
