Nobody's Angel

Chapter 10

After mine and my parent's heartfelt moment they invited us into the house, and it was just as beautiful inside, I couldn't believe my parents had lived here for all my life, in a small town and a beautiful house, I honestly thought that they could live the dream they have always wanted, and now that I'm here with them finally, it's a dream come true for all of us. We were all in the living room on each couch as my mom kept staring at me, clear affection was in her eyes, and it made me feel wanted to be by her side, after all this time my parents were here, it made me want to know about them more, I want to know about their adventures and what they like, " How did you know we were going to find Angelica?" My dad asked as he looked at my group of friends intently, " I think you should look at Angelica, she was the one who pretty much made it happen" Maya said, she and Brennan were the ones that explained pretty much everything to my parents on what had happened during our journey as Cameron and Owen sat on each side of the couch they were on, " So Angelica, you knew you needed to find us?" My dad asked, he looked stunned, proud of my actions for coming this far just to find them, " Honestly, if it weren't for Mrs. Tatum, I wouldn't have come so far " The thought of her made me sad, knowing she is probably still in the hospital all alone, knowing that the children she took care of are now all gone,"-I wonder if she is ok at this moment, maybe I should have visited her before she sent me on this hellish adventure, trust me it's so worth it right now, I just hope she is ok, if I knew she is recovered I would be more at ease" I looked down at the ground, hesitant to look up, I knew all their eyes were on me, I knew they felt guilt for me having to go through that, even if it wasn't their faults they show sympathy, I guess that's how all Angels see things, for any crap people have gone through they'll always feel sorry for you no matter what the cause of it is, and that's all they will need, I looked up and met eyes with my parents and the crew but Cameron, he was staring at the floor, could it be he felt way more sorry for me? Lately, I have been having a hard time reading him, he was so open once I met him, so it did make me wonder why he isn't as open he once was, it was so odd, " Look Angelica dear-" I looked up at my dad, his eyes showing that he felt awful about it, "-You being here now is enough for your mother and me to able to sleep with a smile on our faces, I'm so sorry for all the trouble you've gone through darling if it makes you feel better, once we settle in, we can take you to meet her" I smiled up at dad as I felt a similar feeling, care, and protection, I sure missed feeling it " I will like that a lot, thank you, dad." My parents were kind enough for us to stay and clean up, we all had the same clothes on more than two days, and it honestly felt nice being in a cold shower and having a new pair of clothes to wear for the rest of the day, We were finally relieved that we were all ok, at least I thought that way, for I am sure everyone was relieved for me instead, A few hours went by, and I was in the new room that my parents gave to me, the room beautifully decorated and there were pictures of them when they were younger all around on my walls. The bed was quite soft that felt like it was all cotton; it can honestly put me to bed in an instant, my thoughts were interrupted when I heard a knock on the door, " Angelica? May I come in?" " Yes, you can," I said with a smile as I heard my mom's voice, she came in with a small smile on her face " We all are going to a party dear" " A Party? For what?" I asked as I turned around facing her, " Well the word is out that you made it here safely since you are aware that everyone knows that you are mine and Uriel's daughter, so this is the towns way to celebrate for us three" " Oh I get it, so everyone in the town will be there" " Absolutely, and it looks like you're ready, so we can go ahead and be on our way" she said while stroking my hair, I can tell I got it from her for sure, being with my parents is new. Still, I am happy to say that I knew who they are now. A few hours passed, and the celebration had started. Everyone and I mean everyone was so kind, everyone at this celebration was an angel, it's crazy to see that so many of us were here in such a small town and to think there are more of us around the world. However, it made me wonder and paranoid with everything going well so far; I couldn't help but feel that at any moment, something, someone will ruin this joyful moment, " Angelica?" I jumped a bit and turned to see Maya as she had concern written all over her features, " What is it, Maya, everything ok? Sorry that I-" " Listen carefully" I was shocked a bit and yet I listened to her, I listened carefully around me, I heard Glass cups clanking against another, I heard the chatter of friends and family together, and the classical music that was in the air, then it made me realize, one thing, in particular, was wrong, everything I heard was surrounding me, but the air was cold and silent that made me put my guard up. For the first time, I was more ready than ever to fight, I turned around, and in a matter of seconds I saw the Dóite Angels taking charge flying right at the scene of our party, " Everyone gets down!" I yelled at everyone as I ducked from the Dóite angels from attacking me as everyone followed my actions. Then it became a frenzy, every one of us and my parents were going all out on the Dóite Angels, I was right to feel unsettled, and now I just about had it with these assholes. I had charged at the ones who were in front of us, Maya pulling out a handgun as she shot them one by one injuring them, as for I had a one on one with the same girl from before, " Looks like your little party has been ruined Bitch" she sneered as I held her fists from punching me anytime soon, " You can go to hell for all I care" I sneered back as I kicked her stomach and uppercut her, she coughed as I stared down at her, kind of pitying the fact that she is doing this for a stupid wager, " I-Is that all you got? Your pretty lame, you know that?" I was about to punch her one more time, but something caught my attention, it was a man, with a brown jacket and a black hat, I then remembered my little memory back at the station when this adventure began, " You were the one I saw at the station...Weren't you?" I asked the man, there was no doubt in my mind that man was the one I saw, " My, you sure are quick, I'm so happy to see you again, Angelica" I glared at the man, was he stalking me all this time?! Just who was he? " Dameon!" I turned to see my mother, her eyes were wide with fear, and she knew him, she must've known him, the man Dameon had walked over to my mom with a cruel smile on his face as he stretched his arms, a sick gesture for a hug at this moment, " My dear Beautiful sister, did you miss me? Come and hug your older brother" just then memories were flooding back to me, things I remember coming out of Mrs. Tatum's mouth when I was back at New Jersey, at the hospital she was in, her telling me who I also had, " So, you are my Uncle?" I stared at him in complete shock, this sure was one family meeting alright, he then chuckled, he sure seemed proud to get recognized, " My, my dear Angelica" he then turned around, his eyes were cold, and his smile was dark, " Welcome home my dear Niece."
