I am not to sure where this story's going. But it's something I've wanted to do for a while. So I hope it turns out alright. Enjoy!

Jack smiled as the vampire beside him seemed to be enjoying their little walk. It was a cool Friday night, and Jack had decided to bring the prince out so they could escape from all and any scare school dramas. It was obvious the stress of scare school was getting to everyone, but it would be terrible if Fatch were to have a melt down. The vampire had Juan Carlos' blood in him after all. If he were to break down, things would get ugly.

Jack smiled led as the boy took a sip of his diet dr. pepper. Fatch of all people didn't need to go on a diet, hell he could do with putting on a few pounds. But he claimed he enjoyed the taste to it. So the demon wouldn't press the issue. Besides, he himself had a few strange taste buds. He WAS a demon after all.

To be honest, Jack was also trying to patch up his relationship with the young vampire prince. Since he was still legally adopted in his name, Jack wanted to rekindle the trust Fatch had for him when they first became a family. He knew things would never be the same, since he DID terrorize him for a few years. But he had to at least try.

Fatch sighed, lowering his drink.

" It's a rather nice night, isn't it? "

Jack smiled at the boys attempt to be civil and friendly. It must have been hard, considering all he'd put him through.

" Yes it is. I do enjoy a nice, starry night. "

Fatch smiled weakly before looking away. It was obvious he still held a bit of resentment towards the shadow demon. But years of abuse would do that to a person.

Suddenly the prince froze up, nose crinkled up in what looked like disgust. Jack was about to ask what was wrong, when the boy suddenly took off running. The demon remained frozen for a moment, seriously wondering why the prince just rushed off like that, before taking off in pursuit, wondering what could've made the vampire just take off like that.

Silently thanking Flash continuously for his gift of super speed, the shadow skidded to a halt once he had caught up with the prince, who had stopped in front of something. Not being able to see what it was, Jack moved over to the left side of the boy, and he couldn't be any more horrified by the sight.

There, lying in the mud, with no wings to speak of was his angel friend Merek. The angel was absolutely COVERED in bruises, some cuts, and, again, his wings were gone. It looked as if he'd been through a lot.

Jack immediately bent down at his side, placing a shaky hand on his neck. Luckily the angel had a pulse, and he was alive. ' But he might not be if we don't get him some help.' He thought sadly, gently taking the angel into his arms. Fatch looked up at him questionably, obviously demanding an answer.

" Fatch, go back to school. "

Jack said firmly.

" I got this. "

" I'm not a little kid Jack! "

Fatch retorted, clearly offended by the fact Jack didn't want him to come.

" You're not my dad either! I'll do what ever the hell I want! And I want to make sure Merek survives! "

Jack sighed, seriously wishing Fatch hadn't gotten so independent, if that was the right word. He really wanted to argue his point, but upon hearing a pained moan from the angel in his arms, he decided it wasn't worth it. Merek's welfare came first. Motioning towards his left, he took off running, Fatch following close behind.

Luckily, due to both of them having super speed, they made it to the hospital rather quickly. Jenette had brought the wingless angel into the room rather quickly, and left the demon and the vampire in the waiting room. The prince was sitting on the chair closest to the window, whilst Jack was pacing the room, truly not remembering the last time he'd felt this scared.

His friends life- his best friends life- was now hanging at the balance. He didn't even know what happened though, THATS what scared him. Some the big was going on, something big enough to do this to an angel. Now he just needed Merek to him what was up. Tell him who did this to him so he could kick it in the pants.

" You're taking this well. "

Fatch said sarcastically, appearing to be sharpening his claws. It was obvious this was the best amount of comfort the shadow demon was going to get out of him. Jack mustered a small smile before letting it fall, crossing his arms.

" Well, I've known him since we were kids. I just hope he's alright. "

The prince smiled softly, one leg crossing over the other.

" If he's anything like you, I'm sure he'll be fine. "

" Like me? "

Fatch smirked.

" Willfull and stubborn. "

" Ah. "

Finally, after what felt like an eternity for the shadow demon, Jenette came rushing out, her hair sticking up a bit. She looked absolutely frazzled. Due to fear of what the news would be, Jack immediately looked at her in her violet eyes, pleading to hear the news. The woman panted a bit before finally speaking up.

" It's like... nothing I've ever seen. "

" Jenette, what's wrong? "

Jack pleaded. He was truly terrified at this point.

" Well... he IS alive, but... well... he's totally human. "

Boom. Xb

Just so you know, Merek is going to be doing some pretty stupid stuff as a human. I hope no one takes this story too seriously. Enjoy!
