When Angels Meet Devils
Plot Summary: What happens when Lock, the devil costume wearing boy from Halloween Town, meets Elle, an out of place angel girl from Valentine City with a not so lovely life? They're two different people, from different worlds. But then, why does Elle feel so drawn to Halloween Town? Why does it seem so familiar to her?
A not so pleasant visitor
A few days after the incident in the Kitchen
Normal P.O.V
It was three days after what had happened in the kitchen. Elle and Lock were still too embarrassed to look Sally and Jack in the eyes. (Did I forget to mention that Lock and Elle were staying with The Pumpkin King and his lady to keep Elle safe?) Now that Elle was all healed up, save for the broken wrist, the two couples (well one full on couple and one that wasn't sure what they were to each other yet) decided it might be a good time to go into town to get Elle acquainted with everyone since it seemed like she'd be staying in Halloween Town for a while.
While Jack and Sally were talking to the vampires, under the shade of the blood bank of course, Lock lead Elle towards the side of the store where they could be alone. (Oh, what's he gonna do now?)
Lock's P.O.V
Heart pounding, palms sweaty, and cheeks slightly flushed, Lock took Elle into the shadow of the building while holding her delicate hand in his gently. He was more nervous than he ever had been before in his entire life. Stopping, he turned to look at Elle in her beautiful blue eyes and took a deep breath.
"Elle... I know we just met and everything, but I want you to know that I..." Before he could finish his sentence, something hit him on the back of the head and Elle was jerked away from him roughly. Her frightened scream filled the air as Lock whipped around to see a boy an inch or two shorter than him with black hair and glowing green eyes standing in front of him, holding his beloved Elle in a tight grasp. (Three guesses as to who this is?) The boy, like Elle, had white feathery wings, which meant this could only be the jackass Trevor who had harmed his beautiful angel.
Lock, fuming with rage, took a step towards Trevor and Elle, but froze when he saw something glitter in his hand. The sick prick held a blade against Elle's slender throat. He saw tears run down her frightened face as Trevor pressed the blade tighter against her throat, causing her to scream again. This time in pain. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned to see Jack, Sally, the vampires, and a few other people standing a few feet away with shocked expressions on their faces. Trevor just grinned manically as he made a show of showing the town's people the knife against Elle's throat and the blood he'd already spilled. The vampires were immediately detained as Sally held Jack back.
Lock was just as angry as the Pumpkin King as he clenched his fists. He had to get Elle away from him without hurting her. Looking from Elle to Trevor, he growled. How am I supposed to get her away from him? Wait, if I can trick him into fighting me, then Sally can grab Elle and Jack and I can take this sick bastard down. Lock smiled to himself before looking to Jack and nodding slightly. As if understanding his plan, Jack nodded again before Lock looked back at Trevor.
"What do you say we settle this like men, Trevor? No rules, no weapons, nothing but our bare fists. Winner gets the girl. That is, unless you're too chicken to fight me." Just to provoke him further, Lock did a fairly good impression of a chicken. Trevor's face was red with anger as he threw Elle to the ground and tossed down his knife before running at Lock with his fist cocked back. Lock dodged his hit then threw one of his own, knocking Trevor flat on his ass.
For the first time in years, Lock let loose his inner psycho.
Elle's P.O.V
Whimpering softly, Elle touched the bloody spot on her neck as Sally came over to her and pulled her away from the fighting boys. She watched Lock and Trevor fight while Sally cleaned her up before putting a soft bandage on her neck. She bit her lower lip at the pain as she clung to the rag doll woman for comfort while tears ran down her cheeks.
Pure terror filled her entire body as she watched Lock become someone she didn't recognize. The loving, playful boy she'd fallen in love with was replaced by someone who radiated evil and malice. His yellow eyes were no longer warm and happy, but cold and angry. Instead of being a boy that simply dressed like the Devil for the hell of it, he had become the Devil right in front of her and that scared the crap out of her. Fear gripped her body and froze her on the spot as she watched the fight continue just a few feet from her.
Both boys were injured already. Trevor's nose was bloody and his eye was starting to swell shut, and Lock had a bruise forming on his cheek along with a busted lip. The crowd was trying their best to hold back the vampires who were in a frenzy from the scent of blood in the air, but if the fight continued any longer then the vampires would break loose and have a feeding frenzy.
Seeing Trevor falling to the ground again, she watched as he grabbed his blade from the ground and rushed Lock. Elle did what was pure reaction and screamed. Jack saw Trevor's blade and so did Lock. Lock barely dodged the blade as he slammed his fist into Trevor's stomach, sending him flying back into a wall with a crash. The blow seemed to knock Trevor unconscious, but Lock didn't stop. Elle swore time slowed down as she watched Lock pick up the fallen blade and walk over to Trevor with deadly intent visible in his eyes. Right as he was about to kill Trevor, Elle pulled away from Sally and stood up before running over to Lock to stop him. But when she grabbed his arm, he turned around and slashed her cheek, causing blood to spill down her cheek.
Pain radiated from the spot as she let go of his arm to clutch her cheek after crying out. She saw the insanity fade from Lock's gaze as he stared at her then the knife that was now dripping with her blood. He dropped it as if it burned him then reached out to her, but Elle was already too afraid of him. Backing away from his touch, she ran past him and pushed her way through the crowd, sobbing. No one tried to stop her as she heard Lock scream her name. But she didn't stop, she just ran.
Please RXR! No flames please. I wonder what Lock was going to tell her? Find out in the next chapter, my lovelies! I'll try to update sooner. I don't own anyone except Elle and Trevor.
