Becker's P.O.V.

Cole has been back at the ARC for a couple of weeks and we are rarely apart. We've also been alternating between who's apartment we'd be staying at. I love her and I never want to be without her. About a week ago my parents gave me a call and they reminded me about the weekly Sunday lunch and I have to go because I missed last weeks. Oh did I mention that my parents have a lot of money and when I say a lot I mean so much so that they are two of the richest people in the United Kingdom. When I moved out they gave me access to my trust fund so I have like £500,000 pounds sitting in my bank account, I don't really use it but seeing as today is Coles birthday I spent quite a bit on some presents for her.

So the morning of her birthday I got up a little earlier to make her some breakfast. I made her a traditional breakfast (bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs instead of fried, hash browns, French toast, beans, mushrooms and beans) I also put a glass of orange juice on a tray with a birthday card ready to take into Cole when all of a sudden I heard her voice

"Why are you up so early?" I turned around and saw her walking out if the bedroom rubbing one of her eyes. I sighed and said

"I got up to make you breakfast but you're up now so" I put the plate on the counter with the juice and card. She sat down and said

"Thank you" I went to sit next to her and as I passed her I kissed her cheek and said

"Happy Birthday" she noticeably tensed up and her face dropped. I then said

"What's up"

"It's my first birthday without my Dad"

"Oh my god I totally forgot"

"It's okay. Im not going to let it ruin today. I'll go to the grave later anyway".

"Do you want me to come with you"

"No, it's okay". She then took a bite from her food as I said

"You sure?" She just hummed telling me that she was sure.

After a couple of minutes I said

"So, every week my parents do a Sunday lunch and I have to go because I missed the last few, do you want to come"

"You want me to meet your parents?"

"Yeah and my sisters, I love you and want them to meet you"

"Are you sure"

"They'll love you. So is that a yes"

"Alright then, I'll come with you and meet you parents". I smiled and then pulled a box with a red bow on out under the table. I put it in front of her and she said

"What's this"

"One your many birthday presents"

"How many have you got me"

"You'll have to wait until after work. But this one you can open". She put her fork down and undid the bow. She then opened the box and pulled out a car key. She then said

"A key for a Audi R8?"

"A key to your new blue Audi R8"

"Are you serious"

"Yep"

"You brought me a car"

"I brought you a car" she jumped off her chair and into my arms. And kept saying over and over

"I love you"

Coles P.O.V.

Shorty after breakfast I got showered and changed. Today I was wearing all black. A black v neck top, black biker jeans, black combat boot and a black leather jacket obviously. Before leaving I grabbed my bog tags, gun, combat knife and com earpiece. We then drove to the ARC in my new car. However the second we stepped into the ARC the ADD alarm went off.

The detector lead us to a junkyard. At first we didn't see anything but I heard something

"Guys do you hear that" Danny answered e

"Hear what" a loud crash then echoed through the yard and I said

"That...Come on". We all ran towards the sound. We ran past some cars and not only found the creature but found a man sitting in a crane chasing the creature around with the grabbing claw. I recognise the creature from stories my dad made when I was little, it's a Dracorex. The man was trying to catch the Dracorex in the claw but when that didn't work he resulted in picking up cars and dropping the around the creature. He began to cage her in.

I jumped up on a car and said

"He's gonna kill the Dracorex" Danny responded with

"You know what it is"

"My dad told taught me about it when I was little. Anyway, It's a Dracorex, herbivore, late Cretaceous. They are docile creatures only really attack when they feel threatened" Abby then said when another car dropped

"He's gonna kill it"

"Agreed... Becker, Danny get him out of that crane". they ran to the crane whilst Abby jumped off the car to get a better look at the creature. Sarah then said

" whats wrong with it"

"theres something stuck in its side"she got really close and when the Dracorex shook its head i said

"abby they only attack when the feel threatened" it then charged at her and knocked her back. i then muttered "told ya".

"not funny" Danny then slammed a car bonnet and began yelling. we all joined in and we managed to push it back towards the anomaly. However connor had to say

"that was easy" i sighed and said

"why on earth did you have to say that" he looked towards the creature and said

"whys it coming back" the dracorex turned around and ran back. we pressed our backs up against the cars and after it ran past a knight on a white horse came from the anomaly and said

"Infernum hoc est mea quest continues onto gloria". when the knight was gone danny said

"well we've got a dragon and now a knight, a damsel in distress would be nice".

on the way to find the dragon or the knight abby asked

"what did he say anyway" sarah was the first to respond

"my quest for gory continues into hell" then danny had a go

"To me it sound like, This is hell my quest for glory continues". i then looked at him and said

"danny you know Latin"

"what a cop cant have a classical education"

"im not saying that, its just it was more like. This is hell my quest continues onto glory" Connor then said

"You can speak, write and read Latin but math you failed". i brushed my hand over the long scar on my lower right arm and said

"can we not bring up my school life please" danny then said

"you dont like talking about your childhood much" i walked ahead saying

"what childhood".

after deciding who was going to do what, connor, me and Danny headed into town to look for the knight. But as connor walked ahead slightly Danny said to me

"whats going on with you, today"

"its my birthday"

"and?"

"its my first birthday since my dad died"

"sorry Nic... Cole". a biker then ran out of an ally way and he was absolutely terrified. danny then said

"our knight"

"so what happens when we find him"

"sit him down an actually talk to him. like rashile human beings, yeah"

"yeah"

"yep". after not having any luck in the streets we decided to look in the back alleys.

and low and behold we find him digging through a trash can holding a toy baby. he then said

"stand back, demon" danny looked at me to say something but i i gestured for him to do it instead

"we are not demons. we are flesh and blood just like you"

"you are demons and i am in hell" connor then said

"technically its london. but you know its an easy mistake to make" i then said

" we can help you get home"

"my only way home is to slay the beast and to complete my quest" danny then said

"killing the dragon will not get you back" connor then said

"its not a dragon. we can help you" the knight then lowered his sword slightly and the boys walked forward slightly. but then the knight picked up the bin lid and hit the boys on the face. despite how amusing it was i picked up a pipe that was next to me and was ready to fight the knight. but when he was infront of my he said

"i do not fight a beautiful lady such as yourself but i will if i have to"

"suit yourself. but we can help you get back to your time. to your home" . he swung his sword at me which i blocked with the pipe. i then kicked him in the stomach and he stumbled backwards out of the alley only to have his sword scrap across my side. it was only a small cut but it was going to scar and it hurt like hell. the knight ran off just as the guys woke up. the first thing i said was

"if either of you tell Becker i will kick your arses".i moved my hand and saw some blood on my fingers. before Danny or connor could speak i said

"ill be only a small cut. lets go fin him".

-at the Green man pub-

Whilst out in town i ended up speaking to someone who had heard about some kind of altercation in a pub just around the corner. so assuming it was the knight we headed down there only to see a bunch of people running and screaming out of the pub. we ran inside only to see 4 grown biker guys hiding under a pool table. Danny placed a hand on my shoulder and said

"let us handle this one darling". so i took a step back and watched Danny and connor make complete fools out of themselves.

first danny thrpugh a bootle at the knight causing him to say

"see how your master cowers before me"

"we have never seen that guy before"

"how many demons must i slay this day" danny then said something to connor but i couldnt make out what it was. connor turned around and went to the bar as he passed me he said

"we may need you"

"figured" danny then said

"cant we talk about this" me attention was brought back to the knight that was approaching danny. danny then said

"thought not, whats that up there" the knight looked up and danny punched him in the stomach, idiot. he did it once more and then said

"thats just made you cross hasnt it" danny was then punched across the face and connor smashed a bottle round the knights head. i sighed before stadning up straight as the knight turned to face connor. who said

"you are to feeble a man worth killing but do not try my patience again. that goes for you too little girl" he left and we ran after him. back out into the parade we did actually loose him but it was so hard to find someone dressed as a knight when others were dressed up too. i then said

"now what"

"come on" so we followed danny further into the crowd.

after not finding anything we stopped outside a coffee place when someones phone rang. we all checked but it was mine

"its me" i answered the call from sarah

"sarah"

"the knights name is William de mornay. now he was a worrier, a mercenary who fought all over Europe. for whoever paid him. hes killed a lot of people Cutter. and hes looking for redemption. and he thinks killing the dragon is going to do it"

"care to tell me how you know all this"

"its my job to research so i researched"

"well you are very good"

"Better than you think"

" we have to find him. hes lost in a world he doesn't understand. been there, done that. its not nice"

"well in that case there is the ruins of the old Paris church by the river. im sending you the map reference, now"

"okay get becker and meet me there"

"he cant at the moment, hes helping abby"

"why whats he doing"

"they are operating on the dracorax"

"alright well wait for him and come meet me at the church"

"well i can come now"

"no sarah you do not leave without back up. thats an order do you understand"

"i cant hear you cutter. youre breaking up" she then hung up and i said to danny

"sarah is spending way to much time with me". connor then came out carring 3 coffees saying

"whats going on hows Abby"

"shes fine shes trying to save the dragon"

"really. do you know what i should be with her maybe i could help" danny then said

"well go on then" he took the coffees and connor ran back to the junk yard.

danny and i found william crying by a stone grave. danny spoke first

"William. i know none of this makes any sense but we can explain. you just have to trust us". william then said

"are you the devils champions" i then said

"No, we only want to help". William drew his sword and stood up. i then said to danny.

"do you want to handle this one"

"i did it last time"

"thanks" william swung his sword at us just missing. we split up but william only focused on me.

"i dont want to fight you"

"because you are a coward"

"thats a bit hash" i then did a flip on a wall causing him to run into it.

"you are an infernal imp that was sent to torment me my sole"

"you know you sound just like my crazy mother" i ran and picked up two pieces of metal to use as weapons. i blocked all his movements until my back was up against a wall. thats when sarah and danny reappeared saying

"william stop" he put his sword sown and we followed sarah back to he graves

"do you know what this is william"

"it is my grave. i am dead and gone to hell"

"youre not dead yet. look here. you have many years to live"

"then why am i already in the world to come"

"look closely"

"and my wife lay here beside me. but i have no wife"

"not yet. but you will when you get back. Lady Elizabeth Langly"

"how do you know her"

"you will marry her william. you will have 3 children together"

"i am just a wondering knight. fsr below her rank" i then took over.

"you must have done something to impress her William. you will live a long and happy life together. its written here in stone. its your fate, your destiny. if you let us take you back"

"my only way back is to kill the beast"

"no its not. the creature is injured, weak and likely to die. honour is satisfied "

"you know where it is" he grabbed my jack and demanded

"take me to it" danny went to help but he held his sword up and said

"take another step and dispatch her without mercy"

"you wont hurt me william" William then picked me up and threw me over his shoulder before heading to his horse. he put me on the back and went back ti the junk yard.

when we got back connor had his back to the door and i william was holding me close.

"it ends at last move out of the way boy"

"no" i then said as william pressed the sword agiant his throat

"connor move out of the way. you too abby. trust me". they bother stepped out of the way and as william got closure i elbowed him in the stomach and when he let go i stood in front of the creature.

"you show strange courage for a demon"

"you aint seen nothing yet". i then did i high kick knocking the sword from his hand and then a couple of spin kicks across his face. he kicked me in the stomach and i fell back. sarah stood in between us saying

"william. Elizabeth is waiting for you. you have my word of dragon will never come to your village again. your quest can end"

"i am weary of killing"

"i know"

"i crave only rest and the pleasures of peace"

"and they can all be yours" he got up and so did i.

"i have to kill the beast"

"i will not let you harm this creature".

"then i will cut you bith down"

"cutter get out of the way " becker then came in yelling

"drop your weapon and get down on the ground" sarah and i both said

"becker no"

"what"

"if you kill him the history changes. his children will never be born. for all you know they could be coles ancestors or maybe even yours. he has to go back"

"no hes going to kill cole" Becker raised his gun again and as william placed his knife at my throat he looked into my eyes and said

"So much pain, anger, sorrow. for such a young. youre not frightened"

"death hasn't scared me since in was 19, since i lost my best friend, my father. so do it set me free from all this pain. i just want to be free". i looked over and everyone was shocked by my words. danny then said

"this is not how demons behave is it william"

"no this is some sort of trick"

"no trick. and in your heart you know it. we are humans, like you"

"youve done enough, william. your quest is over". he held his sword close to his chest before yelling out and swinging it in my direction. but instead of putting in in my he stabbed a nearby oil barrel and fell to the floor crying. i too fell to my knees feeling sick to my stomach. that was the first time i had admitted what i was truly feeling. when william did calm down we got him back to the anomaly but before leaving he said to me in private

"things get easier with time. just let life take its course"

"thank you, william"

"no thank you Lady Nicole Cutter". and with that he went through and the anomaly closed behind him.

Becker's P.O.V.

When we got back from the ARC Cole sat down on the arm of the sofa and said

"About what I said at the junkyard" I stood in front of her and held her hands. I then said

"You scared the shit out of me today. I thought I was going to loose you again" she moved one of her hands so that it was in my hair. She then said

"I'm not going anywhere again. I'm going to stay with you". She then kissed me. I moved closer to her with one of my hands on her back and the other on her thigh. With one hand in my hair the other snaked around my neck and she pulled me closer. I lowered her down onto the sofa and I was hovering over her. Before things went any further I broke the kiss and just looked at her. I cleared some hair off her face and i said out of the blue

"Move in with me"

"What?"

"I want you to buy a apartment with me"

"Seriously"

"It makes sense, I mean we spend every day together and basically live together. I want to have an apartment together. What do you say". Without warning she pulled me back into a passionate kiss. I pulled away and said

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes. Yes I'll move in with you" I kissed her again and let's just say the night ended fantastically.
