Guardian Demon.

Chapter 3: Rat In A Cage

Steve woke up when he heard a foot tapping. He looked up and saw the angle tapping his foot impatiently.

'' Morning Darling! Brought me breakfast? '' Steve joked and smiled at it.

'' No time for games filth, get off this holy ground. NOW! '' The angle spat back angrily.

Steve sighed and grabbed his magnums and ammunition before standing on the edge of the tower '' Can you tell me one thing? '' The angle rolled his eyes and nodded and Steve turned around and looked it in the eye '' Why are you an angle, when you have so much hatred. ''

The angle clenched its fists '' Get out now! ''

Steve smiled and jumped off the edge and landed on his feet and started to run towards the scene he was yesterday. He had to be stealthy and careful, the Dark one where afraid to send too many demons on day time but he wouldn't let that stop him if he had to.

With Claire

Chris where holding Claire's hand and walked through the hospital '' Can't wait to get my hand on those who did this to you! '' He said loudly.

Claire rolled her eyes and Chris almost dragged her to the car and when they got inside she started to speak '' Chris! Those that did this to me are dead! They were ripped to pieces in front of me! Have you seen the crime scene? '' Her voice got stronger and stronger while speaking.

Chris looked at her and where speechless for a second before he explained '' I where the one that found you, I saw it, it was brutal. Are you sure that's what happened? ''

She nodded and glared at him '' I'm not a kid anymore, I know what I saw. ''

Chris started the car and started driving '' Claire, nothing in this city could have done that, the way kills where is not human Claire, and no animal wouldn't get so far into the city. You are confused and need sleep. ''

She gritted her teeth and looked out the window. She still remembered his face and hair. His skin darker shade of red than the hair. She still remembered her, as he called it, guardian demon.

With Steve

Steve jumped from roof top to roof top, his hair where floating in the wind. He smiled, it was good felling fresh air instead of that stink pile they called air down in hell. He took a giant leap landed four buildings before the child's room. He heard a screech and took out one of his magnums and aimed it into the air, just as he thought another gargoyle. It where flying down at him with its claws first. Steve closed one eye and aimed for its head, before it was half way down to Steve, he fired and hit it in the head. Steve moved two steps to the left and the creature body fell with a big splat where he had just been standing.

Steve looked at it '' Can't let it be seen '' and he smiled a wicked smile. He went on his knees and ripped off one of the arms of the gargoyle and started eating it. Slowly devouring it to the bone before he took another body part and ate it to, slowly he had eaten the entire creature.

He picked up the bones and threw them in random directions. Then he started walking to the block where he had seen the kid, he stood the same place that he had been sitting for a day ago. He sighed and started to climb down until he reached the kids room, as the other day the window was open. He jumped in with his eyes closed and opened them to see nothing, nothing at all. It where just an empty room with white walls, nothing else. Steve cursed and got out again, he went to the front side of the block and noticed a big sign : Raccoon City Liberty Hotel.

'' FUCK! This can't be happening! He yelled in frustration. He sighed and jumped into the ally and did what he hated the most, he turned into his human form. He gritted his teeth and looked at his body, just the same as before he was killed. He pushed the wall and left the ally and walked into the hotel.

Inside the hotel where many people, there was a disk right on the other side of the wall and in the middle where many chairs where people where sitting and waiting for something or just relaxing, on the left where the elevators and on his right where the dining hall.

Steve walked to the disk and the disk lady smiled to him and started to speak '' Welcome to Liberty hotel! How can I help you? ''

Steve coughed and smiled back '' Yeah I wondered if you knew the name of the family that where here yesterday, they had a small baby with them, can you tell me their names are you kind? '' He looked at the girls name tag '' Ashley Graham. ''

He smiled more and thought to himself '' Long time since I have had ham, I could get some soon

Ashley nodded and Started to search in the database '' They left yesterday? ''

Steve nodded and Ashley wrote down two names '' Here you go sir! '' she said and beamed.

'' Thank you pretty lady '' Steve said and kissed her hand before he left, leaving Ashley blushing.

'' He didn't have a shirt '' She thought and laughed to herself.

Around 19.00

Steve smiled, he knew where to go, but he had to hurry if he were going to make it in time with the Dark one's soldiers on his tail.

He looked at the window in front of him, inside the room that the window showed Claire sleeping on her bed with headphones on her ears.

Steve jumped on the wall where the window was as silent as he could and he got a grip on the wall and started to pick the lock on the window with one of his nails. He heard a click and got inside. He looked at the girl on the bed with careful eyes. He slowly started to walk towards her and he got on his knees and brushed carefully the hair away from her face. He had to admit, she was stunning, and her hair fitted her face shape. He didn't think that was the best way to describe her beauty, but he couldn't see her eyes, at least not yet.

He looked at the headset and slowly took it off her and placed it on his head. He heard the lyrics and smiled.

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

'' So even someone like you can feel like that I guess ''

Her phone rang and Steve looked up and ran out the window and started on his journey.

Claire woke up and answered the phone '' Hello? ''

'' OMG CLAIRE YOU WONT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY! '' Ashley Graham yelled into her ear.

Claire rolled her eyes '' Yeah yeah, just tell…. ''

Ashley started babbling but Claire looked at the window, she had closed it before going to sleep.
