At that thought both Gabriel and Zacarias' head snapped up. "Amor, what did you think?" Why would you think anything like that, your soul is not black, it can't be. You are a woman, women are of the light. "Angel, you are wrong you are of the light, I can see it in you," This time he took her hand and held it to his heart, so she could feel it beat harder at her presence.

"I'm no ones light; I lost my light a couple years ago, both of them. I can't be your light I'm all darkness." Angel started to tear up thinking of her lost loved ones. "I can't go thru that again; I'd rather not love after I've lost my loves." She got up and walked out toward the porch of the Inn. As she walked she saw men staring at her, she turned and looked to glare at them. As she continued to walk Skylar caught up with her to see she was crying.

"Angel, Angel, what's wrong? Did he hurt you?" She was trying to get her to stop but Angel kept walking until she made it outside.

"I shouldn't have agreed to meet him. I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't. It just reminds me of the bond I shared with Jason; it makes me miss him, and my baby." She sniffed as she sat down on the porch so she could breathe in the cold night air. She heard some of the men come out to see what was the matter.

"Angel are you alright? Your lifemate didn't hurt you, did he?" Gregori had been one of the men that came out.

"No he didn't hurt me, I'm just upset." She didn't look up she just looked out to see life happening. As Gregori went back in, a De La Cruz brother came to sit next to her.

"Hello little sister, how are you this evening?" He was gentler then Zacarias. "I'm Riordan; I'm the youngest of the five of us. I hope that my big brother didn't scare you too horribly." He smiled as she looked up.

"No, he wasn't too bad; I just don't think I'm cut out to be anyone's lifemate. I've lost my ability to love. It died with my Jason and Amelia died." She looked back down and felt Zacarias stir in her mind.

"Well I've heard about Jason, but I don't know about Amelia, would you like to tell me about her?" He moved closer to her, close enough to take off his jacket and put it over her shoulders.

"I guess I can. Amelia was my baby, mine and Jason's but she died right after she was born, a couple weeks after Jason died. She died of SIDS and I was so upset. My boyfriend had died then six weeks later, I lost my baby. My ability to love died with little Amelia." Angel had tears streaming down her face. Riordan went to pull her into his arms, but Zacarias was out to them in an instance pulling her into his arms.

"Shh… Pequena, it is okay, we can show you that your soul is not black, it never has been." He pulled her back into the Inn in front of the fire. He pulled off Riordan's jacket and handed it back to him. Zacarias sat Angel in his lap rocking her back and forth, trying to calm her down. "You need to calm down, Angel; you will make your self sick." He kissed her temple and whispered into her ear how beautiful she was and that she was too beautiful to be so hysterical. It seemed to work she quieted down and just sat in his arms as Gabriel came over to check on her.

"Angel, honey, how are you doing?" He looked over her to make sure she wasn't hurt and could try and calm her down.

"I don't know anymore Gabriel, I just don't know." She had tears in her eyes when she looked up at him.

"Well you have family now; they will help you to figure it out." He smiled and kissed the top of her head and left to go stand with Francesca and Skylar.

"Do I have family now, Zacarias? I'm not sure anymore, about anything really. Will you help me to figure it out?" She looked up and in Zacarias' eyes she looked so lost.

"Of course I will help you, we all will. The whole family, me included, will help you figure it out. We are good at solving problems you will see that." He held her closer, just liking the feel of her in his arms. He kept her close until she started to squirm around for him to let go. When he did Angel got up and walked around. She looked so lost walking around not knowing where to go. "Gabriel, I think that it would be a good idea for her to come home with me tonight." Zacarias said as he watched her walk around the room.

"Yes, I agree. She needs to get to know you and your family so she will feel comfortable with them. She doesn't like people, you will need to be careful, do not back her into a corner. You will not like what happens." It was a warning, Zacarias could hear it quite clearly in Gabriel's voice.

"I understand," was all the reply Gabriel got as Zacarias moved to intercept Angel. "Angel, Gabriel and I spoke we believe it would be a good idea for you to come home with me." He watched as she backed up a little and thought it over.

"I guess I can do that. I'd like to get to know you but I have a bad feeling about tomorrow. But you can take me away for the night." She smiled as he took her hand and put it in the crook of his arm to led her out of the door.
