Chapter 2

"Yes I am. I'm Slaughter. I didn't die that night. If you want proof I'll give you some. But I rather do it inside. The cold will get to my...friend." Slaughter said taking a step forward. "You attack us then ask for a room?!" Qhuinn exclaimed. "Shhh! Kid!" Tohr scolded.

"Please it was my idea. She was just following orders." Slaughter said. "Wrath growled as he looked over at the creature. Her wings were still out and one of them was bleeding. "Vio go get a crash chart. No on is to touch them or say anything to neither of them until I'm finish speaking to the both of them got me?" Wrath ordered turning to face his brothers. They nodded and stepped back.

Vio and Doc Jane should arrived with the crash chart. Vio lifted the winged girl on the chart. She looked pretty bad. Her friend make over to her. She squeezed her hand. "It's alright Angel. They're going to take care of you." Slaughtered said leaning over her so Angel could see her. "Her name is Angel sir." Slaughter informed Vio.

"Alright, we'll take care of her." Vio said wheeling into the mansion. Wrath walked towards the house and Slaughter followed, with the brothers behind her. This made her a little uneasy but kept her eyes on her brother. He took her into his office and locked the door.

What proof do you have?" Wrath asked getting straight to busy. 'This would be easier if he till had his eyesight.' She thought taking a deep breath. "What the hell did you just think?" Wrath growled. 'Oh crap!' She thought grasping. "Sorry, but my eyesight is also deterging so I know you're must be pretty bad. If only you could see me you would know." Slaughter said.

"I have poof of several documents, birth records, dental, you name it." Slaughter said sitting in one of the extremely small chairs and crossing one leg over the other. "Those documents can be forged and faked. "Then a blood sample perhaps. Seriously do you think I could tract you down without some kind of bound. This place isn't easy to find." Slaughter said folding her hands together. Wrath flipped his lens off his nose

"Fine show me the papers and I'll get someone in here with a kit." He growled. She removed several papers from the inside of her leather jacket. He opened the door and growled at Vishous. "Go get me a blood kit, two of them then get your ass in here with a magnifying glass." He ordered. A secret smile slide across Slaughter's face.

"She's already losing conscious. Get her on IV sat." Jane ordered Vio. They began to race around Angel. "Can you remove a bullet from her wing?" Vio asked as he got the IV secured. "It went though her wing, there's nothing to remove. We just have to stop the bleeding." Jane informed him. "Since do wings bleed like this?" Vio asked as he handed her a needle and thread.

"Since when do vampire's have wings?" Jane retorted. The machine beeped quietly as they worked. Vio took care of her healing wounds. He noticed several of her bruises were getting darker. "Odd." Vio muttered. Jane removed her mask after a half a hour. "I bandaged the injured area. Did you say she retracted them before?" Jane asked washing her hands.

"Yeah, well I know she didn't have her wings when the chase started two hours ago, once we cornered them the emerged and they took flight." Vio siad drying his hands. "Are you guys sure she's a vampire?" Jane asked raising an eyebrow. "Yes, she smell of vampire and she has fangs." Vio said sitting on a stool.

"Yes but that doesn't mean anything,... Mhhh I can't draw blood without her permission so it's a mystery until she awakes." Jane said going over the chart and looking back over her handy work. "Oh and to answer your unasked question, that was the first time I've worked on a wing." Jane said not looking up from her charts.

Vicious looked up from the desk and up at Wrath then Slaughter. "They're real, all these papers are genuine. The signatures match perfectly. This is your father's signature on her birth certificate." Vio said looking straight at Slaughter. He was trying to read her mind. But it seems everything he ask she was telling the truth. He got no vibe she was lying or misleading them.

"Is there still a need for a blood test?" Slaughter asked tilting her head. Wrath look over to her. "How did you escape the massacre?" He asked kneeling beside her. He put his hands around hers. She had been so tiny last time he had seen her.

She was only a child barely 10 at the time. "My Angel of course." She said sounding wistful. "What? What do you mean?" He asked feeling her face. The transition had been good to her it seemed, but he could feel the wear of time as well. "My friend Angel. She lead me though a passage only she and her mother knew of. It lead to the attic." Slaughter explained putting her hand on his.

"Oh sweet virgin! Slaughter!" He said hugging her. He hated to get this emotional, she did she but,...this was an exception. 'It's alright I'm back that's al that matters." She coughed the male in the room bothered her. "Yes of course. You have to met my shellan oh and your nephew." Wrath siad standing to his full height. "I have a nephew?!" Slaughter exclaimed standing up.

She nearly came to Wrath's shoulders. She reminded Vicious of the bodyguard at ZeroSum. 'Virgin their could be cousins.' He thought as he gathered his supplies. Slaughter wasn't tiny, she looked like she took take any male, maybe even a brother. Vio excused himself from the room to be attacked by the brothers.

"Ask him, it's his news to tell. I thought it would be obvious from the lack of gun shots." Vio growled. They looked at his back then towards the office. "First can we check on Angel?" Slaughter asked as they exited the office. "The winged one?" Wrath asked. "Yes, she's ,my friend and my Ahstrux nohtrum." Slaughter said.

"Father made sure you were well taken care of didn't he?" Wrath asked as he lead them towards the clinic. "She might not have looked it last time you saw her but she's a great protector. She's fiercely loyal and over protective." Slaughter chuckled. 'She probably not accepted in many places. Wings usually mean angels and not all angels are good.' Wrath thought.

"She's not an angel, or that's what she says." Slaughter said. Jane was the only one left when they arrived at the clinic. "How is she?" Slaughter asked going over to Angel's body. "She'll be fine as long as she doesn't try to fly. She should be up by dawn." Jane siad putting the file down. "Jane this is Slaughter, the patient's friend and my sister." Wrath said smiling.

"Ahhh I see. Well then I leave you, Slaughter, in charge. She'll need help with the bandaging." Jane said handing Slaughter a roll of bandages. "And welcome to the family." Jane smiled at her as V appeared behind them. Slaughter went over and took Angel's hand. Angel unconscious squeezed her hand. "No you rest, you deserve it." Slaughter whispered.

"Do you want to stay here until dawn?" Wrath asked slowly approaching the bed. Slaughter stared down at Angel as if to guard her reaction. "No, she would want me to see the rest of my new family...our new family." Slaughter said letting go of Angel's hand. She pushed a patch of white hair out of Angel's eye.

Wrath lead her up the stairs to the main house and up to the second floor. "This house is pretty big." Slaughter commented. "It gets easy to get around once you learn the lay out." Wrath chuckled. He knocked on the door before he opened it. "Come in!" A female voice shouted.

They went in and a beautiful creature greeted them on the other side. "Why did you knock?" She asked raising her eyebrow until she as Slaughter. "Leelan this is my sister, Slaughter. This is my shellan Beth." Wrath said sidestepping so Beth could get a better view. "Nice to meet you." Slaughter said holding out her hand.

"You too." She said looking back and forward between the two. "My you two look a lot alike." Beth said. "Thank you." Slaughter said smiling. "Hey guys last meal is being served." A young male said coming up. 'He look like his father.' Slaughter thought. "This must be your son." Slaughter said grinning. "Yes, this is Darius." Wrath said.

"He looks just like you did when you were younger." Slaughter said peering at the boy. "I thought you said your eyesight was bad. "Wrath said. "Yes, I can't see nearly as well as most vampires but I still have most of my sight, besides the similar is too strong not to see." Slaughter said.
