Authors Note:

Chapters may change since the last time you read them as they are in the progress of being fixed. To make my story better I would like to draw information from reviews. So if you see a mistake please tell me. I would also like some input on what to write. Since this is the first time I have ever tried to write something.

Also, I'm currently fixing the point of views so it sticks to at least one characters point of view for a whole chapter.

Part One: The Dark Angel

Chapter One: Lone Wolf

"It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,

it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,

we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way"

- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

"Mana, we're almost to our assignment" said Nick. He was short for his age. Though that did not stop him slashing through the necks of the tallest of downworlders. But, his tousled brown hair was constantly used against him since he refused to cut it. At least he kept it pulled back out of his clear grey eyes. "Hey, why don't you watch where you're going. You're going to end up running into one of those filthy mundanes. And you will have to take a shower to wash it off. Cause there's no way I am getting close to you until you do." snickered Mana.

"Heh, there's no way I will run into one of..." Nick's sentence was cut off as he tripped over a boy causing them both to fall. The mundane fell in surprise. " Ouch" he whimpered. Astonished, Mana thought that this was a very decent looking mundane boy. He had a pale white hair with a slight curl that balanced nicely with his fair skin and radiant blue eyes with a tinge of green. "Sorry" he said as if he done something terribly wrong. As he glanced from Mana to Nick. At first she and Nick thought he could see them. Was their glamour still working. But, then the boy kept glancing warily around before, mumbling to himself as he got up patted himself down and went back into the tavern.

"Wow that's a pretty mundane" stated Nick. "Wait! Does this mean I have to take a shower when we get home" he said with a straight face. "Oh, shut it let's just finish our task and get out of this unsightly place" said Mana. Their assignment was to capture or kill a rogue werewolf named Denis Clamornox, he was killing mundanes everywhere and then, leaving what's left of them on their front porch of the institute. It was recently found out that he owns the tavern were both mundanes and downworlders alike could go. They lifted their glamours and walked in. They strolled in and sat at the aged wooden bar. "Would you like anything" someone asked. They looked up and realized it was the boy Nick ran into outside. He didn't seem to recognize them or notice the downworlder who was licking the side of his face as if he was a sweet treat. "We would like to talk to the owner" said Nick. "Okay, I will be rate back." the boy responded promptly. After the boy disappeared into the back Mana heard a crashing noise surrounded by the shattering of glass. A few moments later the boy came back. He had some new features with a long scratch across his arm dripping blood and a bruise on his neck. Though the boy did not seem to mind. "I'm s...sorry for the wait" the boy stuttered then went back to work. He was followed by the werewolf they were targeting.

The werewolf was tall with well defined muscles . His blond hair stood out under his black fedora. And his white shirt gripped to his skin showing off his abs. His eyes were a pale green that matched the design of his pocket watch that he had hanging from his pants hooked on a loop. "Nephilim, I see you got my message" he snickered. "Yeah, and now it's time to deliver the message from the Clave" stated Nick happily "we came to take you in or kill you Denis Clamornox" I prefer the last option I said as I swung my blade into his chest calling out "Michael" as it landed in his chest. It sizzled as it ripped open his chest. He howled and took a step back. But, his wound was already healed before he made his attack and clawed at her with his hands full of wild furry.

"How is that possible" Nick said as he took a fighting stance " werewolves do not heal that quickly." Nick jumped at him and swung at him with his long sword. It sliced evenly across his chest, ripping his shirt and staining it red on the edges. As soon, as he made the wound the wound was gone. Denis took this opportunity, to attack, and slashed at him catching at his shoulder and dragging downward through his chest and stomach, slicing and tearing it open. Nick doubled over as he was then kicked back.

"Nick!" Mana cried in alarm.

"I'm okay" he said to calm her.

"Gah..." someone gasped. While Mana was looking at Nick, Denis grabbed the boy who was working at the bar. He was flailing try to move as he choked on his breath. He was panicking. She thought it was because he realized he was unable to move and didn't know why. Mana thought the boys eyes flashed red for a second and his head flopped down. Moments later the boy flung his legs in the air. Using a silver knife he pulled from his sleeve he slashed at Denis who was holding him. The knife made a nasty sizzling sound as it caught and sliced off Denis arm that was wrapped around the boy, who having successfully set himself free, landed softly behind the werewolf. Mana couldn't believe any mundane could move that flawlessly.

"Cadell" yelled Denis. Mana could see Cadell flinch with terror in his now red eyes that held an intriguing purple flair in them.

" I will whip you later for that" said Denis with a frown.

"By the way" said Cadell with fear stricken eyes " I gave you a lethal blow in your back, when I flipped over you, I left the silver knife in your back even with your trinket it will take time to reverse that."

Denis completely forgetting about Mana and Nick stalked over where Cadell now stood. Causing Cadell to freeze where he stood. He forcibly tilted his head back yanking it upward causing Cadells face to twinge with pain. Then Denis lightly kissed Cadell on the lips softly he had a disgusting grin on his face afterwards. " I guess I will have my fun with you when we get back my pet" snickered Denis. Cadell eyes flickered with terror as they faded from red to purple to blue. Mana could tell he was prettified with fear as Denis snatched his arm and yelled " it's time we go I will play with you later my dear Nephilim." As he started to vanish into thin air Nick snatched Cadell by the collar and ripped him back. Denis reached for Cadell but, was too slow to react and vanished leaving Cadell behind.

Cadell whimpered " he's going to kill me he is so going to kill me" as he stared at Mana and Nick.

"Not until he has had his fun" stated Nick in a whimsical tone.

Cadell started to tear in the eyes. "Nick" yelled Mana " you're scaring the poor boy." Cadell relaxed slightly when he laid eyes on Mana. She was slightly shorter than him, had long lightly curly brown hair tied on the side of her head in a ponytail. Her eyes calmed him even more because they were the color of the sky at his hometown which he barely remembered.

While the two were bickering Cadell decided to sneak away. So he slowly inched backwards before turning to the exit finding Nick already there. He turned slowly back the way he came and Mana was standing there.

"Where do you think your going" said Nick as he placed his arm around Cadell's neck. Causing him to stiffen. He hated to be touched. "Probably to my death" whispered Cadell under his breath.

His eyes flashed red. "Nick, watch out" screamed Mana. But, it was too late. Cadell stomped on Nicks foot getting him to loosen his grip. Then head butted him before giving him a roundhouse kick that sent him across the room.

"How did you know that was coming" said Nick.

"His eyes flared with anger perhaps " said Mana in reply.

"Please don't touch me" whined Cadell as his eyes faded back to blue "I hate being touched."

"Well, you didn't have to kick me" moaned Nick as he got up.

"You scare me and people who scare me usually hurt me or ..." stopped Cadell as Mana flung herself toward him. Cadell pulled himself out of the way like he was playing dodge ball. Angrily Mana yelled "well, what are you waiting for Nick catch him!" Nick yanked his whip off from around his neck. Cadell thought it was just a flashy silver necklace before it was being whipped at him with great force. In terror Cadell jumped behind Mana and pushed her toward it. Mana got caught by the whip faster than he could react and now he had to pull it and swing at Cadell again. But, Cadell was already in front of him and he came down one his his hand with a hot cup of coffee causing Nick to wince and drop the whip. Nick could not believe he was disarmed by this mundane or whatever he is. After a few more minutes they were exhausted from chasing after Cadell and being disarmed.

Cadell staggered for some odd reason. Mana wondered if he reached his limit's or realized something else. "I give" he told Nick and Mana " I will go with you if you protect me from Denis." Nick and Mana were astonished. "Okay fine" yelled Nick who was clearly frustrated " I swear on the Angel to protect you from Denis." Just then Cadell's eye's flashed red and he gripped his chest in pain.

"What's wrong now" asked Nick.

" Well," grumbled Cadell "I don't suppose have anything to drink I'm thirsty do you?"

"This is a bar there's plenty to drink" said Nick.

"Not wha..." Mana could see his face pale before a fell and collasped.
