Dark Angel: The Light Within the Dark

Chapter 6

"We get to ride in a limo?" Dean says happily. "Sweet. I like this job more and more by the second."

"I'm glad to hear that since you'll be protecting my ass for the next two weeks." We all pile into the car after Deyvon slides in. Dean immediately starts drooling over the interior and pressing buttons. Boys and their toys. As we merge onto the freeway the hairs on the back of my head stand on end. I look out the window to observe the surrounding cars.

"Abby put a shield on the car."

"Is their someone following us?" She asks as she begins working her sorcery. Blue sparks begin coming out of her hands and surrounding the car.

"Just being extra cautious. You can never be too safe." I say continuing to eye our surroundings. It has to be a random demon nearby. There's no possible way anyone could know we are here.

"Don't be so paranoid. There's no way someone is tailing us. Your plan is bulletproof." Abby reassures me.

"I know. I just had a feeling that something might be out there. I'm sure it's nothing. We should be at the hotel in half an hour." I lean back and watch the buildings as they go by. These next couple weeks are going to be really interesting. Protecting the prince when we know that someone is after him and making sure Zach doesn't get himself killed. He may have done well helping with the Nosferatu but if we run into a pack of demons that's a whole other situation.

After sitting in a ton of traffic the driver finally pulls into the private parking lot of the hotel. A young gentleman opens the car door for us.

"What room would you like me to take your bags to." He asks after closing the door behind me.

"Penthouse suite, we'll be up as soon as we check in."

"You must be Mrs. Davenport. We are delighted to have you staying with us. If there's anything you need feel free to ask. I'd love to show you around our beautiful city if you have the time."

"Thanks for the offer, sweetheart. I'll be sure to keep it in mind." I wink at the handsome man making him grin even wider.

"Poor guy thinks he's actually got a chance with you," Dean says laughing to himself as we enter the building.

"He would if I didn't have a job to do. A man with dark hair and light eyes is my weakness. I bet his body was to die for too."

"He was beautiful," Abby says sighing softly.

"Hello, dark hair and light blue eyes standing right here," Dean says pointing at himself.

"True." I laugh. "But I said a man and you're still just a boy."

"Ouch." Deyvon manages to say through his laughter.

"If you gave me a night I'd show you-."

"Not going to happen," I say smiling sweetly at Dean.

"I can help who's next." The young women behind the desk says perkily.

"Jade Davenport checking in."

"Can I see your I.D. please?"

"Of course. Here you go." I place the plastic card in her outstretched hand.

"Is everyone in your party here."

"Yes."

"Alright, then you're all set. Here are two room keys. To get to the penthouse take an elevator to the top floor and then there is a private elevator to your suit. You'll have to swipe the room key to access the elevator. If you have any questions or need anything feel free to ask. Their's someone at the front desk at all times. Enjoy your stay."
