Hell's Angel (Book 2 in the Dark Angel series)

Ariel, Guardian council

Chapter 2

Ariel POV

I can't believe I over looked that part of the vision, I was too focused on that bitch Anna and Lucifer, I never thought of it again, til now. It all came flooding back when the guardians started to hear about a group building in size. Right now me and Brax are waiting for the guardian council, well it use to be only guardians but places have been given to demons. They have been trying to find out everything they can about what they gathering for. I know nothing good is going to come from this meeting, I can feel it.

"Ariel, Brax there all here now" Leo the councils leader said.

Brax and I stood up and followed him into their meeting room. I knew by all their faces I was right. This isn't good. We sat down opposite the council and waited for them to start.

"Ariel, Brax nice to see you again, sorry for the wait, we were just getting the last bit of information, its not good, this group still thinks that demons need to be killed, they have gathered alot of other guardians and vampires who think the same, Ariel your the main target" Leo said.

"What's new, I knew it would take time to build an alliance, but I didn't think they would go as far as to gather others to help them fight, who is leading them?" I asked.

"That's where it gets worse, its your mother Ariel and somehow Lucifer has managed to insert himself as the other leader, Ariel there coming to kill all the demons, your mother has completely lost it, she is planning on killing anyone who means anything to you, especially Faith, she wants you broken like her, Lucifer is pushing her to take everything you love away from you" he said.

I looked at Brax and saw the same rage in his eyes that I know is burning in mine.

"Like fuck she will, I will rip her apart before she gets near my family. The bitch really has lost her fucking mind if she think she can come for my family and survive it. She is lucky its me and not Faith coming for her. There just pawns to Lucifer, he will use them as a distraction, he is coming for his soul and once he gets that he will fight for his throne" I said.

"We will need Faith in this fight Ariel, you are extremely strong but you can't kill Lucifer, Faith is stronger than most of us put together, she is strong enough to stop Lucifer getting his throne, do you think she is ready for a fight like this?" he asked.

I pictured so many ways to kill Leo in that moment. The thought of my daughter fighting Lucifer, makes me sick. Yes she is strongest fighter I have ever seen but that doesn't mean I am any less protective of her, she is my baby, regardless of what age she is.

"Does it have to come to this, Faith fighting?" Brax said through gritted teeth. He is every bit as protective as me.

"I'm sorry for asking, I truely am, but with the numbers they have and Lucifer, we will need her to save us all" Leo said genuinely.

I looked at Brax, he knows aswell as I do once Faith hears this she will offer herself to fight and that is what kills me. The guardian, demons and vampires have accepted her, even the pack members at my age range, but those bastard s her age treat her like dirt. She has never done anything to them, I feel like I have passed a curse down to her, I get accepted and she is rejected. The first day I saw how they treated her after her strength started to shine through, I wanted to rip them piece from piece, I went all psycho mom and went for them, unfortunately I was stopped. The boys are jealous because she is stronger and doesn't pay them any attention, only to Alex and Seb. I know that the reason because I can hear their thoughts, not one of them isn't attracted to her, the girls are jealous because they know she is beautiful and strong. So they make it their mission to try break her. But one thing I have passed onto her, is been tough, to not change herself so other will accept her and now she will fight to save their ungrateful, judgemental asses. Alot of the demons found their mates are werewolves, so their is no way we are going to be allowed to fight without the pack helping.

"She hasn't killed anyone, at her age I had already killed more times than I could count, in the wrong yes, but we didn't know that at the time, she has never had to do that. She can fight better than all of us, her powers are unique, but were still working on her control of the stronger one. She has most of my power and all of Brax's. I just dont know how she will be after she kills for the first time, it could make her stronger when she knows its to protect or it could completely break her. But I know I won't be able to stop her fighting once she hears this" I said.

"I just hope this doesn't break her Ariel, she is a young girl with a great future ahead of her" Leo said.

"But that could all change, we all know what it means if she fights Lucifer for the throne and wins, she will have to take his place and rule over hell, what life is that for her? what about her mate when she finds him? we could be taken her whole life either way" I said, Brax took my hand in his.

"I know, but if he takes the throne he will do everything he can to destroy who means the most to you, he is out for revenge but he is playing this as a game and waiting for the right moment to make his move" he said.

"I know we dont have another option, but it doesn't make this any easier, I wanted her to have a better start in life than what I had, I will tell her about this, but not til after her birthday weekend, I want her to enjoy it without having this hanging over her head. The embarrassment of having to tell her that her grandmother is the crazy bitch leading all of this" I said.

"Okay Ariel, we will wait til then, but we will send our best trainer to you to help her get control over all of her powers and make sure she is prepared for what will face her, maybe it will be a good idea to project your fight with Lucifer to her, so she knows what he looks like and what he is capable of. It would be to easy for Lucifer to seduce a young woman of her age" he said, but the last part lower.

"If he so much as touches my daughter I will rip him apart, its bad enough he tried to take Ariel from me but if he tries it with Faith I will find a way to kill him" Brax said with anger clear in his voice.

"You and me both" I said.
