"Half demon," Bethany cried. Araya smiled and nodded "Yep that would be dear old dad."

"So your mother is an angel," Bethany asked trying to let what she just learned sink in. Araya nodded again, "Yes she was."

"Was?"

"Um Bethany maybe you should let Araya explain a little," Serendipity suggested giving Araya a hopeful look. Bethany nodded numbly as Araya nodded and began. "When my mother was an angel she made friends with a lot of mortals, so when they began to die she decided to become mortal her self. Therefore, she asked God to let her become human and God gave her, her wish. So a week after becoming mortal and being on earth she ended up meeting my father who…"

"He was a demon," Bethany asked interrupting then realizing that she already knew that apologized. "No it's ok," Araya, said smiling enjoying that Bethany was that into the story. "Anyway my father was a demon who got a week end pass with a… um package. So he met my mother and they had a little fun and a week later low and behold she found out she was pregnant with me."

"But she knew he was a demon," Bethany asked. Araya nodded, "Yeah well she was a mortal know why would she care what he was. However, she forgot about one thing and that was that her angel powers would not go away until a month after becoming mortal. Therefore, her powers and my fathers came to me as soon as I was conceived. So to my mother's dismay she was to give birth to as the angels call it the Protector."

"Why to her dismay?"

Araya gave Bethany a small sad smile "It's hard for us because were different. It's kind of like Romeo and Juliet's families the angels hate the demons, and the demons resent the angels. Therefore, if they had, had a kid it would have been like us. We have no place to go really because ether side hates the other half of us."

Bethany shook her head "That's… so sad," she whispered. "But wait," she said realizing something. "How is that you have um… all of your anatomy." Araya smiled, "My mother was still a mortal as I grew in side her, so I formed as a mortal."

"But wait if you formed as a mortal will you die as one?" Rufus and Serendipity gave Bethany a small pained smile. "No one knows the last Protector died 1,000 years ago and they say he died at 81," Rufus said shaking his head sadly. "But Araya is a lot stronger then the one's before her by a lot so Metatron thinks she can live as long as angels and demons can," Serendipity said sounding atomistic. 'Wow,' Bethany thought, 'They must really care about her.'

Araya smiled, "Yeah but there is a downer if I get hurt really and I mean really bad then I die." Bethany shook her head in disbelief, "How can you smile when you say that?" Araya looked thoughtful for a moment, "I don't know maybe because it will take a lot to actually kill me or maybe the possible fact that I could see my mom." Bethany saw the pained expression on Rufus and Serendipity faces. "Ok," Araya said "Any more questions?" Bethany nodded "Yeah just one why the name Protector?" Rufus smiled then, "Well that's because their job is to protect the um people that are on these missions. And that's just the proper term for it."

"The proper term?"

Serendipity nodded, "Yeah but me and Araya like the name your kind gave them."

"Which is?"

Araya smiled, "Dark Angel which is what I like and am normally referred too but I have to use the proper term with introductions. Now are there anymore questions?" Bethany looked at Rufus and Serendipity and saw that there wasn't. "No," she said. Araya stood up and smiled, "Ok then well I think we better get going."

"Hey," every one turned to see the man with the long blond hair that Araya had seen earlier the one named Jay walk up with the other one. "They made me and Silent Bob part of the gang," he said pointing to his red bandana.

BANG the bathroom boor exploded causing Bethany, Serendipity, and Rufus to jump up from the table. The odor that followed after was horrible; Bethany and Araya plugged their noses. A creator made of shit walked out roaring as he did so. "What is that thing," Bethany asked practically yelling over the roaring. "An Excremental the Galgothin," Serendipity yelled. "What," Jay asked.

"A shit demon," Rufus cried. ROAR the demon cried. "Friend of yours," the leader of the gang asked Jay. "Hey is this smelly fuck with us," Jay asked turning toward Rufus. "He came for Bethany," Rufus answered. Bethany and Araya looked at each other. "Smoke that mother fucker like it ain't no thing," Jay answered the gang leader. The gang leader nodded then charged in with his gang. As Araya and the others watched them get the shit kicked out of them she smiled a bit. 'Oh boy,' she thought, 'This is going to be fun.' BAM the last person fell. "Quick go to the bar," Serendipity cried grabbing Bethany and pulling her with her over the counter of the bar the rest dived over the bar after them. SMASH! Araya looked up to see a pile shit hit the mirror behind the bar shattering it. "Holey shit," she said as she looked at Bethany to make sure she was ok. Serendipity put a cloth in a bottle of scotch as the creator walked closer to the bar explaining to Jay and Bethany how it got there. All of the sudden Silent Bob stood up. "Bob get down," Bethany cried.

"Matches, matches," Serendipity yelled as she and Rufus groped for matches. Araya looked up to see Silent Bob pull out a can of something and then sprayed it in the shit monsters face. "Aaah, aaah," the monster whimpered then fell to the floor with a disgusting mush. Araya motioned for the others to stand up as Silent Bob walked around the counter to look down at the monster with disgust. Araya and the others did the same. "What was that," Bethany asked gesturing to the can in his hand. Silent Bob showed her the can. "Nock strong odors out."

"Way to go biggey," Rufus said smiling.

"Why would you need this," Bethany asked as Jay bended down to get a better look at the creator then farted. "Oh," Bethany said disgusted as Silent Bob sprayed the air behind Jay then hit him on the back of the head when he straighten up. "What," Jay said looking at Silent Bob. Then he turned and looked at Araya, "Who the fuck are you?" Araya rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Got a little mouth doesn't he," she said looking at Silent Bob. He gave her a small smile and nodded. "Well I'm Araya," she said turning back to Jay, "The Dark Angel." He looked at her up and down and then smiled "Sweet, nice body. Do you…" WAM! Silent Bob smacked him on the back of the head again this time harder. "What," he yelled rubbing his now sore head, "I was just giving her a compliment." Silent Bob shook his head in dismay then looked at Araya and gave her an apologetic smile. She nodded her thanks, "Ok well then what know," she asked looking at the others. "I suggest you get the princess out of here," Serendipity suggested looking at Rufus and Araya. "I'll try to get more out of poopie boy here. I'll let you know if he tells me anything."

"Ok," Araya said turning towards the door "Thanks Ser." She waved goodbye as the others walked out then, as Araya was almost halfway out the door, "Araya."

Araya turned back to look at Serendipity, "Yeah?"

"Please be carful," she said with a look of concern on her face. Araya laughed then shook her head, "Don't worry Ser you should know by now I'm always carful." Serendipity sighed, "I know but please just try a little harder." Araya nodded, "Ok Ser I'll try. Is that all?" Serendipity shook her head "If you see Metatron try to be nice." Araya sighed, "I'll try ok, but I can't make any promises."

"That's all I ask."

Araya nodded then left. Serendipity sighed, "I wish you could see why he has to do this Araya," she whispered shaking her head sadly. "He loves you so much."
