Mark of a warrior

chapter 10

Nate’s POV

Thinking of the night before as I woke up I thought it had all been a nightmare. How could I have let my demon side take over? How could I have shouted at Lex like that? Remembering the fear in her eyes made me put my head in my hands. Why did I do that?

“I'm such an idiot…” I said to myself.

I need to apologize to her. I walked into her room expecting her to be asleep but found her bed untouched. I put my trainers on and started walking to Angelus’ house. I knocked and waited for him to answer.

“Oh hey Nate, you ok?”

“Not too great, is Lex here?”

“No, she isn’t. Wait, does that mean you don’t know where she is?” I'm pretty scared of this guy right now. He is practically her father.

“Yeah err she’s not at home. Don’t worry I'm sure she's just gone to the library or gone shopping or something like that. See you later Angelus” I waved and he closed the door.

I need to find her, even though I said she might be at the library but where would she have slept? I jogged to the gates where Raph was.

“Hey Raph, have you seen Lex?”

“Not today but last night she was on the beach. And damn she is powerful”

“Powerful?”

“Yeah she was testing what kind of powers she has and...I think I might let you find out for yourself” he slapped me on the back and started to walk away towards the guard tower. Before I walked away too, he turned round.

“Wait, why are you asking where she is? Have you lost the most powerful angel ever already?”

“I wouldn’t be surprised…”I said to myself. “Yeah I haven't seen her since last night”

“Hmm” he said before he walked off to his tower.

So, the beach? And she was using her powers? Maybe she is there again? I started jogging again and as I got over the hill I spotted a body lying in the sand.

“Lex?!” I started running towards her and dropped in the sand next to her “Lex?” I whispered. If she is dead I will kill myself.

“Yeah?” she whispered tiredly. She turned her head towards me and opened her eyes. As soon as her eyes adjusted they widened in fear and started shuffling away from me.

“Stay away from me” shit.

“Lex, it’s me, the real me not the demon me, I'm not going to hurt you” I edged closer to her and before I could register what was happening I was flying through the air, the ground quickly speeding towards me.
