Nobody's Angel

Chapter 8

It was now sundown; we were still heading toward Nevada with non-little help from a gas station that was at the end of the desert, the man behind the counter looked like he was so zoned out of it as if he took a big hit of any drug he could get on, which annoyed Brennan and Cameron just chuckled at the man, it surely was something I didn't quite expect. Still, despite all that, there was a nagging thought that never left my mind, Am I too late? Did I fail to save the one which I missed dearly? The thought went away quickly when I heard Brennan talk at last " I can't believe it, we made it" Astonished I looked below me to see the city lights of Nevada welcoming us, from the height we were at we saw all the tallest hotels and Skyscrapers Nevada had to offer. Once we all stepped on the concrete sidewalk we all felt a rush of relief as we can finally rest our wings from the travel we had, we then came up with a plan that Maya will go out and find any weapons we might need, Cameron will rent a car as Brennan, and I was looking around for any clues or any other supernatural people just like us with helpful and needed information. It was surely tiring to try and find more information about my parent's whereabouts. Still, at least Cameron had got us a very nice car in the least so we wouldn't have to worry about constant walking around the whole city. Still, I was worried about Maya, for she hasn't come back yet, so we decided to stop somewhere to eat with the money we had together that was still left from our last meal for now until we head into Oregon, "Are we pretty much covered?" Cameron asked toward Brennan with an unknowing glance, " We are here, after all, we just need to head into Oregon and find her parents, there shouldn't be any reason for us to stay here any longer " I could tell he was anxious, he seemed to want to get things over with, despite how many times I try to reassure him, he has another comment to add to put me on my nerves, " Stop Panicking, I know what I am doing, you just need to focus on who is ' Suspicious' around here" I kept quiet, Brennan and Cameron seemed to have a huge quarrel that I didn't want to be part in, despite that we are a team on try to find my parents. Once that quarrel ended they pretty much didn't talk to each other for a while, oh who am I kidding, they don't even talk to each other regularly for whatever reason they had, maybe Cameron was still paranoid on thinking that he tried to harm me or whatever reason, Brennan, however, had once told him on our trip that he was annoying, making Cameron even more pissed at the time; still, the lights in Nevada looked as bright as ever, many cars passing by and the noise surrounding the area made thinking hard, that is until I saw a certain picture that made my blood run cold. It was a picture of a missing sign, it wasn't any of the orphans, it wasn't Courtney, but the missing person, was me of all people and all things, I stepped closer to the missing posters of me, trembling while thoughts of worry were crossing my mind, " What the hell is this!?!" Cameron yelled while getting a few stares, "You're not missing at all! who would make these posters?!" " M-Maybe, its some kind of mistake" " Oh yes, a sick twisted mistake for sure!" Cameron tore down the missing poster in front of him, gaining another guy's attention, a guy with light brown hair and green eyes as he stepped toward us, mostly toward me with shocked eyes, " Are you, Angelica? Thank god I found you first" I was in a state of shock, I had no idea what just might happen next, I then heard Cameron's cough to gain his attention, " And may I ask what business you have involved with Angelica?" Cameron snarled at the guy, his eyes darkening, which made me worried, " Look no need to go crazy; in fact, every single one of us Angels is looking for her" Every Angel?? What was that supposed to mean?? I stared at him in bewilderment, " Every Angel?! Goddammit!" Cameron yelled, gaining more attention as the other guy covered his mouth to silence him, " How about you shut up before you get us tracked down." The guy's name was Owen, he was another angel, another Archangel, which means that he had to be the other person I need, my mind went back to Maya wondering how she was doing after knowing about my situation, " So what do we do, you obviously know much about her, I don't trust you one bit" " Well shush that mouth of yours, and I will explain more" That made Cameron scowl but kept quiet, " Now the reason why I know this, Why everyone knows this, is because your parents are one of the most well known and legendary Pureblood Angels, they know about your bloodline, and they want to take you to see them" " So we pretty much have an army of our kind?" I asked curious " Yes, we can even say we are at war, now we must-" he then stopped, all serious features left his face, now replaced with rage and determination, " We need to go now" before I asked anything, he picked me up from my seat and walked out of the diner that we were in, " Hold up! What the hell are you thinking?-" " Shut up and get in the car, their here" Cameron then became serious, he went in the driver's seat as I took the passenger seat, with Brennan and Owen behind us, in an instant, I saw the other angels we have encountered before, Cameron took no time and stepped on the gas pedal and went straight for it. It became chaos, a mad car chase, the burnt winged angels were in other cars driving after us, shooting at us with guns in hand, I ducked trying to avoid the upcoming bullets, " Cameron keep on driving and look ahead, I will take care of this" that's when Owen held up his gun and started firing, shooting bullets at the ones that were driving as Cameron tried to avoid hitting any other car that we pass by that became a blur, just then, we heard a loud bang on top of the car as if someone had landed on top, " Brennan check it out now! We can't afford anything to happen to Angelica!" Cameron yelled at him as Brennan then went out of his window, disappearing while being on top of the car, didn't take me to long to realize there was a battle on top of the car, the guns shots kept going, I needed to do something fast, I climbed out of my car window and tried to climb on top of the car, seeing Brennan was getting a beat down, on reflex I used my right foot to stomp on the other angel's hand, making him grunt in pain as I finally managed to get next Brennan, " My Angelica, You surely did grow up" I growled as I then tackled the other angel, non stop punching him as he threw me off him before he had the chance to harm me Brennan picked him up and threw him onto one of the cars that were chasing us making the car stop and get into a crash as the angel had fallen off and bled out by the damage. Still, it surely didn't stop the other cars as Owen kept shooting at them with more bullets, at least with his last ones " Fuck! I'm out, Cameron go faster!" He yelled to him, " Everyone hold on tight!" Cameron stepped on it nearly having me and Brennan fall off the car, Brennan holding onto me in place as we passed many cars from Cameron's speed driving, that is until another figure stepped in front of us holding a rifle shooting at the other drivers after us one by one, each one crashing and turning away as we escaped them, finally looking up to see a familiar face, " Long time no see Angelica, now let's get the hell out of here" it was Maya! I then smiled happily to see that she was ok. Brennan smiled too as we saw her determined face with her badass rifle.
