Hi there!

So ... First fanfic huh? Please be gentle! I am a very fragile person! ;) :P

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Strange Angels. Lili St. Crow does that. ;)

So just read, enjoy, and review! :D ;) :P

I'm sitting in my room drawing. It's five in the afternoon, and i've just finished eating a whole pizza. Dad is sitting downstairs in his chair propably loading clips, or sorting the weapons. He's going out. So i'm sitting in my room, trying to spent my time. Not much doing in an allmost empty house in the middle of nowhere. But drawing will do.

I sit there drawing the outlines of my closset, untill one hour has gone and dad comes up. He stares at me for a while. Doesn't really say anything. I continue drawing.

Then he sigh.

"Dru ..." I look up. He has a hesitant look on his face, and he sighs again, "I - Would like you to come with me tonight." Tonight?

"I thought you said -"

He interupts me before i get to say it, "I know what i said, but i just need you to come with me."

I stare at him. Then i jump up. "Sure," I grab my backpack with for special occasions and emergencys, and jump down the stairs two steps at a time. At the end i stand and look up at him. " You comming?"

He gives a small smile and follows my lead, out the door.

When we sit in the car, on the way, he in the driverseat, and me in shotgun, he sighs, and suddenly stops the car. Assuming we're there, i sart to jump out the car, but his hand reach out and stops me before i can do anything. Right. Him first.

But he doesn't go out. He just sits there, again, staring at me. Finally when i can't take it anymore, i slump down in my seat and stare at him back.

"What?"

He sighs. Again. Then he suddenly looks serious. "Dru ... It isn't a normal trip we're on today. This ain't any normal hunt. We're going to meet the counsil of the ... Of the real world."

I stare at him. Again. The counsil? What counsil? We have a counsil? I voice my thoughts.

"Counsil ... We have a ... Counsil?"

"Yes Dru, the counsil. A group of very respectable people, you have to control youself around. And we're going there now." He starts the car.

Then i think of something. "Who the hell calls their counsil 'The counsil'? And what are we doing there?"

Dad laughs, but doesn't say anything. Nothing else then, "Later Dru. Later." Yes, very mysterical.

We go on and on driving in the snow, when we suddenly stop at the school. And i stare. Again.

And questions. "This is the counsil?"

But guess what? My dad being dad, doesn't answer. He just walks out the door, and starts towards the school. I also jump out the car and follows, but he's allready gone. Assuming i'm supposed to be just staying in the car, i do just that. And wait.

And wait. And wait. And wait. - When suddenly he comes. With a boy. A boy from school. Graves his name is i think. Dad has a hand on the boys shoulder, and is pushing him forward. The boy looks a little scared, but otherwise seems fine. Are we rescuing him?

Again, he seems fine, but you never know.

When he pushes the boy inside the backdoor, i doesn't say anything. But i do give my dad a glare. He doesn't say anything either, and just drives.

We drive in total silence, until the boy breaks it.

"Um, sir? Could you - Could you please tell me where we're going? Look i know i'm not exactly leegal but -" Dad interrupts him.

"You'll see son. You'll see." Gosh. I'm gonna hit him the next time he says that ...

Finally we pull in on some weird looking courtyard, and parks the car. The place is dark. Really dark. As in really creepy dark.

We step out, and in front of us is a castlle. And it is big.

A lady comes out of the front gate and runs towards us. She has dark clothes, a long skirt and a thing longsleeved t-shirt. Dark dyed hair, and a lot of makeup.

And then she runs right into the arms of my dad. Who suprisingly hugs her bag with bigforce.

"Oh Lucy," He laughs, and puts her down, " It's been a long time." Lucy laughs too and smacks his chest.

"You are quite right about that Robert. How long has it been? 20 years?" Dad laughs with her, "Oh well it doesn't matter. I'm just glad your'e here. And your children i see!" And she is hugging me. What is it with this woman? Who is she? And how the hell does she know my dad?

"Um ... hi," I says awkwardly and pats her back, " I'm - I'm Dru ... Dru Anderson."

She laughs. "Oh yes, i've heard quite a lot about you. Your'e dad truly is a talker!" She laughs again and i stare dumbfounded at her. Dad. A talker? Nah ... Must be somebody else. Right?

And then she walks over to Graves. He too gets a hug.

"And you are son? Your'e dad didn't tell me he had two kids," she turns to dad, "You've been busy, huh Robert?" She laughs it off.

"Oh well. Some people has it in them. Oh that reminds me -"

"Luce," Dad comes over and takes her off Graves," The boy here, Graves i believe it is, is'nt my ... My son. He is one of the chosen."

Lucy stares at him then Graves. "Oh," she nods her head, "Well come along then. This is very important matters."

She starts to walk away and i stare questionly at dad. He nod briscly, also suddenly serious, and walks ahead. Graves and i follow him.

We walks into a big hall with big marmor stoned floor and and walls. There are mirrors alongside the walls, and big pictures of, propably, important people. Lucy is walking ahead of us and has stopped to talk to a man. A guard i think, from the looks of his clothes. Suit. Earpiece. Deffinately a guard.

The guard nods at Lucy and opens a door. Lucy goes through it and so does dad. Again Graves and i follows. Inside the door is another door and another guard. They does the same procedure, and we, again, follows through a door. Into a dream room. Again there are marmor floors, and the walls are tinted gold. In the middle of the room is a big table, and around it sits 7 people, 4 teenagers, and 2 middleaged guys. In the middle sits a redhaired woman. She is beautiful. The table is also beautiful, made of glass. But that isn't what i'm watching. It's what's on the table. Food. I imediately start towards it when dad grabs the hem of my shirt and gives me a warning look. I sigh, pouts, and cross my arms.

Dad nods aprovingly at me and steps forward. He bows at the seven people who nods back. "If milady would give permision to introduce ourself?"

The redhaired woman - milady presumeably - nods. "Go ahead." And she smiles.

Dad nods toward me. I stare at him and the food, shifting between them. Dad sighs. Then lowers his head and whisperers, "You can have food later Dru."

And then i sigh and steps forward. "Dru. Dru Anderson." And i step back.

Graves also sighs, and then introduces himself. He doesn't say any surname.

Milady nods. "Now. We are all here today, for very important matters." She snaps her head at Lucy," Lucinda. Step forward."

Lucy smiles, and does just that. She has a box in her hand. "Good. As milady said, we are gathered here today because of very important matters. We have recieved," she opens the box and takes out the content, "a book."

And then i stare. Everybody else doesn't seem to say anything, and i'm not quite sure if she's joking or not.

She smiles at all the speechless faces. "This book is very extraordinary. It contains something we have never seen before," She does a dramatic pause, and then ...

"The future."

There Ya' go.

Well Like i said ... Review! ;)

-Sofie. :D :D :D :D
