Dedicate this chapter to the person that comments the most on this story lol (bav326nAq) thanks for all your wonderful comments!

They found me? Already? Wasn't this supposed to be a safe place? "What do you mean? How?" Instinctively I reached for my dagger. I felt a little safer holding it in my hand. I just hope I know how to use it now as well as I did back then. 

Draco's eyes darted back and forth between the door and windows, like he was expecting them to bust in at any minute. "I'm not sure, stick close and be ready."

I gulped, feeling panic seize me once again. I so wasn't ready to confront my parents. At least I knew Xavier was safe. "They couldn't be attacking already, they're here for another reason." Thanatos walked over to stand next to me. Lucifer nodded coming to stand in front of me, Ares to my back. They made a makeshift circle around me. I once again felt safe, my grip loosened on my dagger.

I jumped when the front door was kicked in. My grip tightened once again, on second thought. I looked around Lucifer, since he was the one blocking the door. Standing in the doorway was a middle-aged lady. She didn't look a day over thirty, and I could instantly tell that she was my mother. I always thought my adoptive parents didn't look like me. Now facing my mother, I realized I was right. She had the same dark hair as me, her eyes were a mixture of purple and blue. She stood there with no weapon in her hand, yet every guy around me was tense. She had her hair pulled into a tight ponytail as she regarded us coolly.

"Where's my daughter?" Her voice rang out solid and strong. I shivered from the power behind it. How strong was she exactly?

"You're not coming near her." Draco called out before running to attack her. She rolled her eyes as he darted forward, sword at the ready.  When he was within a foot of her an invisible force flung him against the wall. He landed, no longer moving. My eyes widened, I didn't even see her hand move. Did she use her mind? I'm so dead.

"When I say go you teleport yourself out of here, got it?" Thanatos lowered his voice as he faced me. I looked up at him. There was genuine fear in his eyes. It took me a while to realize it was fear for me and not my mother.

I shook my head. "I'm not leaving you guys, plus I can't use my powers." He growled, I assumed he forgot that little detail.

"Relax Thanatos, I only wish to speak with her." She smiled brightly at me. I looked across the room to see Draco still knocked out cold. Four against one, the odds were still looking good.

Lucifer took a step forward, cocking his head at her. "Are you dumb or just crazy?" He asked lazily. Her eyes snapped to his, narrowing. I watched as her mouth slowly started lifting into a grin, right as he doubled over coughing up blood.

"What the hell!" I slipped passed Thanatos outstretched hand as I dove on the floor next to Lucifer.

"G-go...bac-k...to thana." He continued to cough. Blood slowly started running down his eyes. She was going to kill him! I growled as I stood up to face her.

"Leave him alone!" I curled my fist at my side.

She faced me with a glare. "Then you'll listen to what I have to say."

"I'm not listening to you!"

"Shame...then I guess your lover will be dead soon." I looked down at Lucifer noticing he was shifting slightly from the pain. His horns appeared, and his eyes were shifting from red to normal. I heard a snap and looked to my left, Thanatos laid in a heap on the floor, with a broken neck.

Anger like never before consumed me. I could feel the rage burning in me. She has hurt everyone I cared at about in less than ten minutes. I let out a scream of rage, causing the glass to break. I felt a burning sensation against my back. When I looked over my shoulder, big orange flaming wings were behind me. The dagger in my hand was also alive with flames. I faced my mother feeling the rage in me intensify. For the first time since she got here I saw worry in her eyes. I twisted my hands pulling her to me.
