Nobody's Angel

Chapter 9

After that car chase we winded up stopping by in an ally way to make sure no one else was following us, it sure was a hell of a long ride, even if we didn't know someone was there, we still probably will have trouble along the way on the road. " Is everyone ok? No one got injured badly?" Maya asked the group as Brennan, and I were breathless but still replied with a nod, Cameron and Owen got out of the car too to feel more relaxed and to stretch their muscles only for Owen to gasp lightly at the sight of Maya, " Maya? Is that you?" Owen looks at Maya astonished he then hugged Maya tightly and from what I can tell they were close, " I haven't seen you since you've been abducted by the Dóite angels, Maya, you've been long gone for a while" " I'm so sorry Owen, I worried you and possibly others, I had no idea that would happen, but I'm happy now to see that your still well" Maya sighed in relief as she pulled away a bit from Owen, but Dóite Angels? Are they another kind I haven't seen in Mrs. Tatum's book yet? " I'm sorry, but what is a Dóite Angel, were they the other Angels that are after us?" It sparked my curiosity, an angel I yet have to keep tabs on since Maya has been abducted by them, it made me remember her state of mind, how dull her eyes looked when I saw her, it gave my spine shivers by the thought, I shook my thoughts away and started to listen to Owen who was now talking to me, " Dóite Angels were exactly the ones who were after us, they don't necessarily take any side of bad or good, they pretty much make their own rules unless a side has a wager for them at the end, in all honesty, they are even called Assassin Angels" Hearing that made me feel disgusted, of course, that's why their after us, so these assassin angels have another name and their getting paid or getting some kind of payment for trying to hurt us, " That's awful, who is originally after us? I just don't understand why their doing this" I finally got off the car and on the concrete floor and brushed myself off, I then felt the uncomfortable silence between all of us, I looked up to see all eyes on me, It felt uneasy, it felt unreal, they were all looking at me with guilt, with uneasiness, I had no idea what was to expect they were just staring at me, all seriousness had me so stressed like if I was taking a quiz back in school, " Angelica...You didn't know?" I turned to see Maya was the one that was speaking to me, " What are you talking about?" I was unsure if I should've even asked that, " The reason we are getting chased..." Owen then spoke to me as I stared at him, intently, "...Is because someone is after you." Last night I couldn't sleep at all due to Owens words, it sent shivers down my spine and made my heart race, we were in our now shot and shattered car to Oregon, there was a couple of stops for food and gas purposes, and yet none of that seemed to matter, the words, the reason for it all...was because of me, and I was honestly terrified, not for myself but Mrs. Tatum, the orphans. For Courtney, the thought then became distant as I faded into a deep slumber. Slowly I woke up, it looked like bright daylight possibly around nine o'clock I looked out of the window to see many trees and the bright blue sky, I sat up straight and rolled the window down, it was a small town, very peculiar, I came to notice a church in the middle of the town, " Morning Angelica" Owen called to me on the driver's seat as I looked at him. The others I didn't realize were awake, They all seemed to be more refreshed with sleep and without the need to use our wings " Welcome to Oregon, Baker City." We stepped out of the car as we examined the town, it wasn't necessarily crowded and yet it wasn't a complete ghost town, we walked down the streets as we looked for any needed information, I glanced at all the people, it made me wonder who were all angels here instead of us five, to think of it, we looked like we didn't belong next to each other, A complete Jock, a distant genius, a preppy badass, a mad skilled shooter and a damsel in distress leader, at least we weren't getting odd stares in the least, Owen then lead us to a little antique store , it looked a bit more fancy then old from the movies I have seen, " I'm looking for Raven please" Owen said to the cashier as they nodded and went to the back of the shop, I am not going to lie, but the shop honestly looked beautiful, I started to look around as I noticed many chairs and different types of beautiful lamps were placed, I then came to notice a mirror, it was clear and it had a golden frame as I looked closely I came to notice everyone was behind me waiting for the so called Raven person, I looked at each of them but I came to realize something, in the mirror, I saw something like auras around them, Maya's was white, Owens was Green, and Brennan's was Blue, what I didn't realize was Cameron's aura, it wasn't there, I tried to examine him closer, still not seeing any aura, maybe...he hasn't expressed his true being? Just then talking interrupted me, " I will let them know you're on your way thank god you came here, the news just came here today, so they'll be happy to see her in good care " I turned around to see a man with long black hair tied in a ponytail, he had sharp features and enticing blue eyes, I eventually gained his attention, and he smiled warmly, " Welcome back Angelica, it's been so long my dear" I widened my eyes a bit, he was aware on who I was? Do more people know me? I then made eye contact with Cameron; his face was hard to read, even seemed emotionless as I gazed into his dark, unreadable eyes. We left the antique store as we headed into the neighborhood, there were so many beautiful houses it made me a bit Jealous, this could've been my home, this could've been where I grew up all my life, but instead, I grew up in an orphanage that I so very loved, grew up with many friends, loved my only guardian in life and having someone that means so much to me, has been taken away in a place I will never know, as I walked and daydreaming I bumped into Brennan as he stayed put, " Shit I'm sorry Brennan, I'm just out of it" Brennan nodded in understanding, " We are here" " What?" I then looked up to see a beautiful blue and white house, it was honestly, in my opinion, the prettiest house I've seen, just then Owen had knocked on the door. A couple came out, both had brown hair and looked a bit tan, the woman was gorgeous and the man was very handsome, it made me wonder who they were, " Yes what is it, we are a bit rushed" the woman said as she glanced at her Husband, " Angelina, Uriel Wyers you don't have to worry anymore" Wyers? As in My last name!? I rushed past everyone as I glanced the couple intently, can they be...my parents? the Woman named Angelina widened her eyes as she came closer to me, my heart raced as I looked closely, she had my eyes, my features, that man Uriel came close behind her as he stared at me in wonderment, happiness, Millions of things were running through my mind. Still, my heart Is telling me that my joy was bigger than any words; they now embraced me tightly as I cried onto my mother's shoulder, I have finally found, my parents.
