Amnesia

Chapter 16 Sébastien

Those men look like professional killers.

I am surprised you have not figured out the truth about Apple.

Angel, leave me alone.

No can do, French Boy.

You are a pain.

I appreciate your compliments dearly. Now, how can anyone be so dense as to not realise the truth about your companion... no, your lover.

Shut up, Demon Breath.

No, you had no right to be her lover.

I had every right. Who are you to say that I had no right to do so?

You had no right. If only you knew the truth, maybe you would not even wish to be with her.

I was sick of Angel not telling anything about her past and using my ignorance against me. We were stopped for the night, setting up camp. Apple was out collecting firewood and Angel and I worked side by side.

Angel looked at me, a smug look on his face. That little smirk of his really pushed me over the edge. I was done with his bullshit. I stood up, turned to Angel, and punched him in the face.

Angel turned to me with a glare, "How dare you do that, French Boy. I am the son of Satan."

"I am not afraid of you, Demon Breath."

Angel growled, "I will tear you apart limb from limb."

"I am growing tired of your empty threats. You keep threatening to do that to me, yet you never do. Maybe, the son of Satan really is not as bad as he makes himself out to be, are you?"

"Excuse me? How dare you insult a prince of Hell. I am a Hell of a lot older than you. I was born almost immediately after my father was cast out of Heaven. I have hundreds of thousands of years of experience on you. I can kill you in an instant if I so chose to. I suggest you not cross me, French Boy if you know what is good for you. If you do not heed my warnings, I hold no responsibility for your death."

"All I hear from you is empty threats and empty promises, Demon Breath. You always talk like that, but you never act on your words. I am sure that I can do anything I wish and you do nothing since you do not want to upset Apple."

I knew that I was provoking the demon. I did not care though. I really was sick of his empty threats, trying to scare me into obeying him. I was not afraid of this demon since he will not do anything to cause Apple depression.

Angel lunged at me, knocking me to the ground. He held a knife blade to my neck, gritting his teeth. I struggled to free myself, but the demon was a lot stronger than he appeared. I could hardly move under his hold and could not breathe at all.

Then, he was knocked from me. I gasped for breath and sat up. I noticed Apple and Angel wrestling. Apple seemed to be the one who had the advantage. She had a blade pressed to Angel's throat, just as he had done to me.

Angel hissed, trying to wrestle the petite, yet strong, Englishwoman to the ground. Once he managed to do that, he sat on her lower abdomen, pinning her to the ground. Apple moved so fast, I was not able to catch it. She flipped the demon off her and flipped herself to her feet.

"Impressive, Amnesiac. Your abilities are coming back to you."

"Shut up," she growled, "You will not touch him again."

"He started it. He provoked me to attack."

"Do you really think he has any idea what really does and does not provoke a demon to act in such a hostile manner?"
