This Love Only Brings You Pain (COMPLETED) ✓

Chapter Twenty Six

Plan Bernadette was in full swing. At seven o'clock in the morning, an old married couple with their three year old exited one of Berlin's more musty apartments. The husband was a fisherman, obviously not paid very well from his evidently stained dungarees, trousers and charred cap. Vincent and Jensen's eyes also trailed that of the wife's, scanning her floral dress as she wearily picked up her children and entered the ice cream parlour. They deemed this common family as not worthy of their suspicions, but made a mental note just in case.

What they didn't realise was that the married couple and their child was in fact Otto, Mary and Rylan, hidden by the shapeshifter's magic. Rylan, after many awkward apologies to Ava and a scowling Beatrice, had went in search of their missing friends. They'd found Lilith and Camila huddled together in an old wine cellar underneath a chapel on the outskirts of the city. The demon had then slipped back to Otto's home to inform the others, where Plan Bernadette was put into place.

Adriel had said they had until the next full moon to give him Ava, which was tonight. They were fully aware Duretti and the fallen angel would have eyes on Camila's cousin after discovering his identity, so they'd hatched a cunning solution. The previous night, Otto had delivered a tray of biscuits and Albtier, an old beer that originated in Dusseldorf to his neighbours. Beatrice had grounded some sleeping pills into the beverage, which knocked the couple out. The child had been Rylan's solution for their fake identity.

So under the cover of daylight and disguised, the three were to sneak into the wine cellar through the sewage system, where Ava, Dylan and Beatrice would meet them at the chapel. They were to ride in the back of a van delivering bread to a local bakery, then sneak into the pipes. The halo bearer would then phase through the wall into the cellar, pick the lock on the cell, and bust Lilith and Camila free as soon as the halo blasted a path through the wall (the brunette had been working hard on controlling her powers, despite Beatrice's protests that she should rest).

It was a most ingenious plan. Expect something had to go wrong.

"Oh shit," Ava cursed as she desperately tried clawing at the metal of the pipe, but to no avail. She just couldn't squeeze through. "Oh my dog. Beatrice?"

The nun, who'd gone in behind Dylan, looked back over her shoulder with a frown. "Ava, what's wrong? Are you getting cold feet?"

"No, I'm not nervous," the brunette denied and then hung her head in embarrassment. "It's just....I can't fit my butt through the pipe."

"Oh," Beatrice dead-panned. "Of all the worst scenarios. Can you scoot back out? I could push you in from behind, but you'll have to let me out."

"Oh, but there's really no need," a booming voice echoed from behind, until all three of them heard a gun being cocked. "Please, get out. My boss wouldn't want you lot meddling in his affairs."

"Jensen," Beatrice hissed as she caught sight of the bald man's smug face behind the barrel of his Glock. "You slimy bitch!"

*I'm updating again tonight so don't worry. Sorry it's been so long, I've been dealing with my lesbian love crisis. But I'm like her best friend and I don't want to ruin shit so I'm just gonna try and get over my feelings lol. But that's gonna be hard because she's really pretty and cute but I don't know if she likes girls. The gay struggle.
