Retribution and Sins

Chapter 20

Even before the official start of the battle cries, the sounds of armour clashing was already being heard. Both Adam and Azrael stood back to back their game faces on. Bared fangs already showing silver against the lightning and the now falling rain. This was going to get messy Azarael thought in her mind, but she had to call it.

" Adam. We have to split up, we can't do this all together. I am going topside." Azrael left flying upwards. She started chasing Anthony and a few of his chosen down off the rooftops.

Adam as firece as he could was wiping them out one by one. The apartment he came to know as home was bombed, gone. Oh...Eve...I am sorry, it has come to this... My private Sodom and Gomorrah. He looked around seeing nothing but destruction. Letting the madness slowly eat into him. With eyes black, and speed to full throttle he charged into the battle. Like a dragon he was out for blood, fire. and vengence.

Azrael was on the rooftops wrestling her own demons. She loved Adam, and knew that they would make a great team of hunters, but times had changed him, atmosphere had changed him, love had changed him, he was not the fierce killer she once knew. He was a shadow of that, and she would not not force him into being a hunter. All this, she was thinking as she broke the neck of a hunter. He slid off the roof and on to the pavement . She ran back to where the fighting was fiercest. Watching she was amazed at how well Adam was doing. He looked up and she saw the blood running from his mouth. The smell of iron from the rainsoaked air made her horny for him. But, her thoughts were suddenly interupted by Anthony dropping down. That meant the battle was now central to this area only. A step behind her proved her point.

" You can't hide forever, my child." Johnathan smiled and chided her. " It seems the odds are now against you. There is no where for you to go but down." with that he hit her squarein the face with hilt of his sword. She fell off the roof, trying to use her Chains of Hades blade to catch her fall, but she landed hard on the pavement, part of blades going into her chest and arms. She heard laughter. Struggling to her feet, she spit blood onto Anthony's boots. The group moved back into a circle, as a hand reached forwars to help her up. Seeing Adam she took his hand and stood up, embracing him, crying silently. He licked some of her blood, and kissed her deeply.

" We can finish this..." Adam said wiping a tear from her eyed. Azrael only nodded yes. For she knew the real answer.

" NOOOOO!" Azrael yelled, uncoiling her whip, killing two guards.

" HOLD HER!" Johnathan yelled back at her. " OR THIS WILL BE YOU!"

Azrael just stood in open mouthed shock as ashes of her lover, her soulmate, the father to her child, fell on the rain soaked ground. Azrael broke free from the guards and ran to the spot. She fell crying and cursing. She saw his amulet on the leather thong, and hid it in her pocket. Anthony bent forward and put loving arms around her. Instead grabbing a sword she ran and plunged it into Brian. All were shocked when he simply pulled the sword out,

" Bring her!"

Six months later:

Azrael is looking out of the window of her bedroom holding her new brand new baby. The sun is shining. Her scars have healed, but there is one scar that refused to heal, Adam. The real, father of the baby. She was held in prison for four months, then married Anthony, who she agreed was a better match for her. He loved her and the baby. They chose the name Kaine. For he was the first one. It wasn't that long until they had a baby that she named Abell. One day she was cleaning her room, when the leather thong fell froma mirror. She crawled up in a ball on the bed, and cried. For Where there was Sin there was a Retribution.

Epilologue:

All was quiet in the halls as Kaines snuck around the grounds. He and his mom Azrael had escaped this place, and was living in her old place.Johnathan had given up chase, either he was to old, or he didn't care. Anthony didn't care to come see her, although he mourned as if she died. Of all the nerve! All he cared about was revenge for his father, Adam. He was doing it for him and his mother. At sixteen he was already a gifted hunter. He knew what he was doing. After laying the ground work, he snuck inside, he snuck up to the third floor apartments, found his mother's apartment, Anthony had no time to defend himself, he was gone. Abell was next.

" I am your brother." Abell said.

" I am not your keeper." Kaine answered.

Kaine jumped from third floor to first floor and crashed through the office door. Johnathan just sat there.

" How you are just like your mother. Fool hardy. Hot headed."

" How touching. I'm not here for a reunion, old man." Kaine remarked.

" I know." Johnathan said, not caring. " I find your impatience tiring and amusing."

" Well... amuse tthis Johnathan didn't even see it coming. His head rolled across the table.

" THis was for my father!" Kaine said. Laying the sword across the dead body.

There was a huge explosion from the building as Azrael went to her window and looked out.

" OH SHIT!" Azrael said. She open the door and ran down the steps.

A big motor, a big black car, a tatooed black man with fangs, pulled up to her. He swung the door open

" Get in. "

Azrael started to turn away, but the door stayed open.

" Kaine has gone his way. Now you are done here."

Azrael grabbed her blade, got in the car, and left everything.
