Thieves

Angel of Death

Hayley and Caitlin both woke up, to see that everything was dark again, the candles nowhere to be seen, but even in the darkness they saw a tall figure towering amongst them.

-Who are you?- it said.

-No, who the heck are you?- both girls tried to get up as fast as they could.

-Why is it so important to know?

-Becouse...

-You can call me angel of death,- the dark haired man bowed in front of them.

-You serious?

-Nah, i think that guy has got a fever.

-Where are your wings?

He turned around and they saw a pair of long, black wings on his back.

-I am here to collect, what is rightfully mine,- he then spoke.

-Yours? What?

Angel pointed behind them.

Both girls gasped, seeing Matheo lying on the cold ground.

-No way dude!

Both Hayley and Caitlin ran to Matheo, and stood covering his body.

-He is dead.

-No, he isn't, - Caitlin whispered.

-What?

-He isn't! - now Caitlin shouted.

-But, dear girl, he is. Can't you see how peaceful he looks? Now step aside and let me do my work.

-How can we see you anyway?

-Well, dearie, that's a question i don't have the answer to. Step aside.

-No.

He came closer, whispering enchantments, closing his eyes. Both girls saw bright light surrounding Matheo, and his spirit walking towards the angel.

-Oh, God, please don't leave us,- Caitlin whispered, -we need you.

His spirit turned to see Caitlin, and he just watched her closely. In a matter of seconds, angel was gone and so was Matheo.

Caitlin run to his body, got on her knees crying.

-Please, don't leave me, please,- she whimpered, - i need you.

Hayley was not sure what to do, when she saw how her friend cried. Hayley had never seen Caitlin in so much pain as she was in now.

-Please,- Caitlin hold Matheo's hand,- i love you.

The following was something both girls saw for the first time in their lives- again. It looked like Matheo breathed in, really heavily. He opened his eyes.

-Why didn't you say so?- he spoke clear and loud. He hugged Caitlin, and kissed her fully on her lips.

-You are an ass!

-Well, thank you, as your mate, i insist you get a spank!- he laughed, one of his hands gently spanking Caitlins bottom cheeks.

-Let me ask you a question,- Hayley was surprised, - what a fuck!

Matheo was trying to cope with what just happened, but he felt alright.

-I think we should tell her.

-Tell me what?

Caitlin stood up, together with Matheo, they were holding hands.

-I am a werewolf.

-So?

-Your dear friend is my mate.

-What?

-Werevolves imprint on their mates, when they see them, they know that they belong together.

-And Caitlin is yours?

-Yes.

-How come you are alive?

-Long story short, it is hard to explain, and i do not wish to experience anything like that again.

-Ok. When did you understand she is your mate?

-I wasn't sure, that it's her, until we stood next to each other, and i saw that i had to protect her.

-To be honest, that sounds like serious bullshit, and believe me, i don't want to know more. Thank you for sharing...

Hayley walked away.

-Hayley, wait!- Caitlin run after her,- im sorry i didn't tell you.

-You are a douchebag!

-Am i? How about you liking the ass wipe? He's a vampire, for Crist sake!

Hayley stopped.

-How do you know that?

-Do you think im blind or what? Everyone can see that you have reciprocal affections...

-So? Are you jealous?

-I think we are even.

-I don't think we can call it- even,- Hayley shrugged a little bit.

-Guys?- that was Matheo who spoke.- i don't mean to stop in a girl talk, but shouldn't we talk about Eunika?

-What about her?

-Yeah, where is she anyway?- Caitlin remembered seing the witches face, just before they passed out.

-She's dead,- Matheo said quietly, remembering her face, before she died.

Hayley finally turned around to hug her friend, holding her close. They had never been in this deep trouble, not even before. Both girls were still too young

-I don't want all this to destroy our friendship.

-You know that only gods above can separate us, so...

-Yeah, i wish.

There was a long pause, when Matheo spoke.

-Where is the dagger?

-Hayley has it,- Caitlin said.

-No,- Hayley spoke,- i don't have it, it fell out of my hands, it's somewhere there!- she pointed to the place, where Matheo was lying.

All of them went to look for it, and Matheo was the first one who found it.

-Guys,- he said,- you need to see this. The grave was empty, and Eunikas body was nowhere.

-What the...!?

Both girls then looked around, to find the dagger, and when they saw it, dagger was scattered in pieces.

-Oh my god!

-I will be his blood bank after all...- both girls stood still, watching the thing, their boss dreamed of having for centuries.

-We're screwed!
