Thank you for the review minim0a!

I noticed a lot of Fanfics on Hush, Hush seemed more like a twilight fanfic, over playing the mind-reading, and really over playing Patch's protective side of his character and making out Nora to be completely dependant and submissive to Patch. My aim in this fanfic is to make sure the true essence of the characters are still there, Nora's independence and Patch's charming but inappropriateness.

Chapter 2: A Deceived Warning

There are many times when I loved to wake up to see Patch cuddling me, but this morning was one of those days where I woke up to him lying on top of me. I felt instantly and I was too tired and weak to push his lightly snoring body off of me. Instead I laid there, struggled to get my dead arm out I eventually managed to wrap my arms around him and thought about his story last night. It surprised me how an Archangel became so intent, so obsessed to destroy God. I thought through words Patch said reliving images, "you'll be surprised how big of a part he plays in your history without even knowing" I imagined the swastika, I imaged a long blonde haired man, beautiful with crystal sea-blue eyes and but with an eerie smile, behind the notorious german leader, mouthing every word before Hitler himself spoke of them.

"What up Angel, you got me on top of you before I even woke!" Patch had broken my thought. Sending me smiling.

"No, it seems like in your sleep, you see me as a comfy mattress, I can't get your big fat body off of me!" I joked back.

"Wow, you've left me with so many innuendo opportunities there." As he kissed the side of my cheek.

"In-your-end-o" I said in a sexy way, cringed at my attempt.

"Well, well, Angel, looks like I'm rubbing off on you, your mom wont like that."

Our kiss was interrupted by the melody Ne-Yo's latest song from my phone.

"Vee!"

"We're going shopping today, don't you dare bail on me." Her cheeky laugh was a sound I liked to hear.

I looked back softly at Patch, I vowed to myself not to be a friend that ditches her friends for guys.

"I'm outside by the way." She cut my train of thought, there was no getting out of this anyway. I had let her in and left Patch and Vee together while I showered. Vee was of course wary of Patch, but in true Vee fashion she got over that. It wasn't in her nature to hold a grudge and I think she actually liked him as a friend, although, she looked uncomfortable whenever the three of us hug out together, which is understandable I guess.

Me and Vee went clothes shopping while Patch went to buy some things for his apartment. He never stuck around when Vee was with me, he felt like he was intruding, and he probably was, as much as I was in love with him and how I longed him to be around me, I did need some girl time with Vee, to make me feel like my life was normal again.

After trying on clothes and buying some new shoes me and Vee decided it was coffee time and went to our favorite Cafe.

"I'm just going to pop into that store over the road, did you want to come with?" Vee asked.

"No, I'll get our coffee and find a seat."

"I wont be long babe." Vee hurried across the road. It was a nice day so I decided to choose some seats outside. I had got my coffee and mixed some sugar in the whipped cream and started to spoon it whilst checking my blackberry for any messages.

"Angel, I've gne home nw. Tell me whn ur at home n I will meet u ther." The text message read, I'd only just got used to the lack of kisses in his text messages. He was one of those who just didn't, anyone going through my phone would think Vee was my partner.

I started to message back, but was distracted by a weird feeling in my stomach, it was cold, I felt a sense of danger coming from somewhere, it was a feeling reminiscent of when I was followed last year, but this was different, worse. A terrifying feeling come over me like I was about to have a panic attack… Maybe I was having just that? I looked around almost expecting to see a hooded figure but there was nothing but a few shoppers lugging around bags. Then I noticed a man on the opposite table, he seemed out of place. Not the type of guy that would go to a cafe by himself. He was muscly, tall, hard-faced. In a lot ways attractive but he was dirty, like a construction worker taking a break, but dressed dark clothes, he looked like how Patch used to look. I thought to myself maybe he was a fallen, a lost angel wanted to get his rank back.

The feeling went and I'd noticed Vee crossing the road holding a few more bags. I shook my head, thinking to myself, how I felt sorry for her parents with a high maintenance child like Vee.

She crossed the road and a car came swerving around the corner, it all happened in slow motion and lunged myself over the table screaming Vee's name, as the car came closer to her. Throwing Vee like a ragged doll to the ground. I stood in shock, no words came out of my mouth, not even a scream. People starting running into the road towards her lifeless body as the moment slowly sunk in through the shock. I ran as fast as I could to her. Someone tried to push me away claiming to give her space.

"Move!" I screamed at the person. I kneeled down to her body, blood trickled from her mouth, I didn't know what to do, didn't know what to say, my mind was just blank, it was in shock. My whole body was being lifted, I kicked, pushed, scratched the guy picking me up he slammed to the floor outside the crowd. No one in the crowd seemed to noticed the guy pulling me away. They were to transfixed on the body… way to transfixed. It took me a moment to realize that no one was saying anything, no one was calling the ambulance, they all just stared at her, not even with shocked faces, like they were watching a TV.

This wasn't real. Some one was in my mind.

I looked up at the man who pulled me away, he had the palm of his hand open, like he was waiting for a high five, in the palm of his hand he had a tattoo. It was dark and blotchy but it looked like a small snake tangled on an upside down cross. He smiled at me, the toothy grin was hardly gentle, it was frightening.

"Is this you're doing?" I asked the man. My emotions were much easier to control, I was terrified but I didn't let it show, I couldn't if I was looking at more mind attacks, especially with Dabria on the prow.

"Is what my doing?" Vee said.

I was back at the Cafe, in my seat. I searched around to gather my bearings, Vee was sat next to me, it looked like she had just come back.

"I tried waving but you were so zoned out, whats wrong? You're sweating like my cat on heat."

"Nothing just a bit hot." I took in my surroundings quickly to see if I could see Dabria I couldn't only shoppers and a few children playing. One thing I did notice was the man had gone from his seat. He was no where to be seen, could he have been the one who played with my mind? Or someone else using his image in my mind.

After our coffee's a bit of chit chat we headed back. We were outside my farmhouse.

"Would you like to come for dinner Vee? Patch makes some really tasty taco's!"

"No thanks. I best get back, I told my mom we would watch a film together." She sighed and rolled her eyes. Vee wasn't the family girl like I was, I suppose with my experience, I learnt to cherish moments with family. Vee seen them as a pain more than anything.

"Thanks for dropping me home."

"Anytime, babe thanks for shopping with me, we will do lunch next week yeah? And maybe some more clothes shopping in time for the start of our new year at school."

"Sure thing. Bye!" I gave her a parting hug and waved to her as she drove off. Not long after putting my bags down the door knocked, a thrill went through my body, it must be Patch of course. My mum was out, Vee had gone and we let Dorothea go to keep the farmhouse.

When I opened the door a shiver went through my body. It was Patch, but it wasn't it looked like him, identical, but the feeling he gave was completely different.

"Hey." I said, he stared at me. "Patch? What's wrong?"

"You look just like her." He said pan-faced and monotone.

"Like who?" I went to hug him but he pushed me off gently.

"Your in danger, you can't trust anyone, not even Patch. You will be deceived." Who the hell was this guy? I thought to myself maybe another mind trick, but it didn't seem like it, as surreal as this was, I felt like I needed to listen to him I was drawn by what he was saying.

"Patch wouldn't deceive me."

"He can and will deceive you. He can change every thought and every desire in your mind."

"Who can? How do I know you're not deceiving me now. You look like Patch, this could be a mind trick."

"I am not trying to deceive, this is a mere message, a warning. Listen if you will, but if you don't there will be consequences." I noticed in the palm of his hand the same tattoo that the man in the Cafe had.

"What's your name? Why are you here? Drop the mind trick so I can see your real face."

"I am Patch and this is my real face." He said again monotonously. A rage burst through me.

"Liar!" I spat.

He came at me so quickly, he brushed his lips against mine, he felt just like Patch but the kiss was different, I felt, less warm, unmeaning but he was trying so hard to be passionate, it didn't feel right. He parted away from and I opened my eyes and I was blinded by lights coming towards me. The fake Patch had gone, but real Patch was driving in. When he came out of his car I ran towards him and thrusted my arms around him.

"What happened? What's wro-" I interrupted his talking with a hard and passionate kiss.

"Mmm, Angel, if this is how you're going to greet me every time I see you, that will would be perfect." He smiled at me.

"Come on let's get inside." I grabbed his hand and hurried us both inside and quickly locked the doors behind us.

"Nora, Angel, are you sure you're OK?" I didn't quite know how to answer that, I was OK, but I was shaken. I just stared at him not sure what to say. I didn't want to say it out loud, I didn't want to look like I am going crazy.

"You're not crazy, I am going to find out who that is." His face stern and harsh, he looked like that night when Dabria and Jules put me on there death wish.

He was about to head for the door before I grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

"Don't go, not tonight, I'm scared, I don't want to be alone." He looked at me questioningly.

"Angel, you will be fine, I'm your guardian I can sense when you are in danger."

"Please, stay I'd feel a lot better if you stayed, especially after the events of today." I cradled myself to him.

"Events?" He asked emphasizing the plural.

"Look into my mind."

A small amount of time passed as I could his presence in my mind, searching through todays memory. I bought the memory of Vee being ran over, but he still kept searching.

"Patch, I'm thinking of it already, you don't need to look further."

"I can't see what you're thinking now. The picture is blank." He frowned, and for the first time he looked generally spooked by what he had just said.

"OK, I'm staying with you tonight, don't worry." The sense of worry in his voice was strong.

"What is it Patch? Why can't you see my mind."

"I can see your mind Nora, just not that memory, which means its a blind to me."

"But why?"

His eyes searched the house and windows. He let go of me and started to pace around the rooms, I followed him trying to stop him but he wouldn't let me.

"Patch, tell me why!"

"Angels and Fallen Angels can't create a blinded illusion. An Illusion that is hidden by other Angels, to cover their tracks using a human mind."

"I don't understand."

"It was a power created, when a certain Fallen Angel, needed to manipulate a human without the knowledge of any Angel's and God himself."

"You mean Lucifer visited to me!" The shock that I, Nora, would have been payed a visit by the most evil thing in all of the universe. I was close to fainting.

"No, I can't see any reason that he would bother himself with you, there would need to be an extremely big reason why he would. There are few others that have learnt this trick, some of his Demons, Nora."

"Why would they want to do this to me, I don't understand." I sat myself down on the bedroom we are in, knowing that I couldn't move anymore out of fear, panic.

"I don't know that's the whole, if they used a blind illusion, they know that I am with you. So I can't see their plan. Tell me what happened in this illusion."

I told him everything, but this seemed to confuse him more.

"Maybe encrypted so you can't consciously see it. I don't know, these Demons are very clever and come in many forms." He grabbed my head knowing I was in hysteria. He placed his strong over my face.

"Don't worry yourself ok. I will find out what's happening. I will protect you." He held me in his arms, but I got the feeling he wasn't just telling me, but he was also telling himself this.
