Chapter 9

I scanned the faces around the room and notice that Dad and Van weren't there. Come to think of it none of the Chaos Council is there.

I raised an eyebrow and some of the council shifted awkwardly in their seats, avoiding my gaze. What the fuck is going on?

I look at Arron out of the corner of my eye and see a frown on his face as he stares across the room. I follow his stare and see where the Angels of Chaos are SUPPOSED to be sitting and find no one there.

What….?

"I was to come here, after retrieving my sister and her recruits. So I did, now where is everyone?" My brother demanded coldly with a glare that made several Angels cower back in their seats.

"Some thing came up and they were called to Chaos HQ, and you will be leaving for there shortly. I see you got miss Ricada and the wolves without any problem, congratulations. I expect you wont try anything like this again?" Chakris, the Angel of Light, asked from his spot from the table. He looked at me expectantly like I was just going to give in to him.

Fat chance.

"I wont leave again unless the circumstances call for it." I said shortly glaring at the council. "I have 10 wolves and the mates of 3 of them that are going to help us in return that we protect their village. We are going to place them on one of the special op squadrons. Its not an option."

Surprise flickered briefly across their faces before the masks came back on.

"I see. We will be having a meeting with you later to discuss your departure. Meeting adjourned."

They stood up and swiftly walked out of the room. People started to depart as well shooting me suspicious looks.

I looked at Arron and the pack. "That wasn't bad. Surprisingly."

"Hey Ridaca!" A deep voice called out from the crowd. The owner of the voice was the Angel of Sacrifice, Sebastian.

"Do you think you can just waltz back in here like you never abandoned us? Like you didn't leave when we desperately needed extra help?" He demanded angrily. He stopped about a foot away from me and I bet he would have gotten closer had Arron not been standing there. Everyone had stopped leaving and were now staring at us.

"Um yes actually I do and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. I left because we were getting blamed for something that was not our fault. We were created to protect yall and we do. And for what? For everyone to spit in our faces when one thing goes wrong? Does that seem fair to you because I know it doesn't to me. So unless you want to fend for yourselves I suggest you keep your mouth shut and stay the fuck out of my business." I spat out at him and raised my voice for everyone to hear better. "And that goes you all of you! What I do is none of your business. Leave it alone."

Some looked slightly guilty and I turned my gaze to Tori.

"You are always saying that chaos angles are different like we are not from the same race, when the only thing different between you and I is that the holes in the knees of my jeans were made that way. Not ruined from certain activities."

Some people started snickering and she stood there with a pissed and slightly embarrassed look on her face.

"You better watch your back Ricada, things have changed. And it looks like your best friend ratted out your hiding place. How does that feel? You cant hide behind your brothers forever and when you stop ill be waiting." She sneered.

"Bitch please. I've seen bunnies scarier than you. And I don't hide behind anyone in case you have forgotten the Italy incident." I said arrogantly. She growled and stormed out of the room and I saw Christi trying to sneak out the door.

"Well this has been fun but unfortunately she's right." I started walking towards Christi and she widened her eyes and took off running.

"Bitch get your ass back here!" I hollered, running after her.

"Fuck no!" She screamed back, going even faster. She started skirting around the edges of the cliffs that the building were positioned on.

Everyone had gathered at the doors now and were watching us with a fervor. I locked eyes with Jake momentarily and he looked concerned but nodded at me. With that I fully put myself in the chase.

"Then you better run fast because if I catch you I'm roasting marshmallows while I dance around your funeral pyre!"

She jumped over a boulder and tripped over a groove in the rock. I dived after her and landed on her back. I held her down and began questioning her.

"Why did you tell him?" I demanded.

"He was going insane Holly! We were worried fucking sick about you. And I didn't tell were you were, Jacelyn did so don't you blame it on me! I love you and I want you to be happy but we need your help. You need to go see your dad, things have happened you need to know." She pleaded with me trying to twist around to look me in the eyes.

I sat there and pondered for a minute.

She does want what's best for me.. Something weird is going on here. Chaos angels are always at the meetings and the one time we weren't was during the fall of the Roman empire. But I don't think America is bout to disestablish…

Maybe its OUR council. Those asses have been fighting forever. One way to find out.

"Alright, but I'm still mad at you." I said stubbornly getting off of her. She grinned at me and I rolled my eyes and held out a hand to help her up.

She grabbed my hand and I pulled her up. She pulled me into a bone crushing hug and whispered into my ear, "I understand why you did it, but if you ever leave me alone with your crazy ass family again I'll kill you."

"Good luck with that." I scoffed. I started toward the door where everyone was still watching.

"Shows over everyone back to work!" I commanded. Everyone ,minus the pack, scrambled back inside as fast as they could.

Jacob looked at me surprised with his eye brows raised.

"What? Food chain darling, natural order of things. I say jump they ask how high." I drawled and stopped next to him. Arron scoffed and mumbled under his breath.

I reared back and punched him in the arm.

"Oh shit!"

"Fuck" Arron and I cursed at the same time rubbing our arms where I hit him.

"Well that wasn't my best idea." I muttered. Jacob grabbed my wrist and tugged me over to him, enfolding me in his arms.

Arron glared at Jacob and I and scowled, "No shit, it doesn't work any other time why would it start now?"

"Well love you too." I said teasingly and stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes at me and turned around to call the other Chaos Angels over to us.

Christi was doubled over laughing, gasping for breath because shes seen me attempt this on many a time. Black curls spilling over her petite shoulders. She was about my height , curvy, and weighed 120 soaking wet. She had a angular face with a tiny nose and bright green eyes. Oh and she was pale. Very pale. Paler than me.

Poor girl, I mean shes the angel of desire so shes pretty but that girl is vampire white. I would always make fun of her for it and said she was the definition of white trash. She didn't get it until a year before I left.

*Flash back*

A few of us were waiting on the training field for some of the Angels of light/dark to come for a class. We were training them for war, well we mostly taught them self defense and how to use long-range weapons seeing as probably none of them would ever get close enough to a Mendel in a battle to actually need it. The ones who would were given special training.

I ran the covert operations and intelligence part of the Angelic Army so even though I was one of the best fighters I just pretty much leaped out at them from nowhere and attacked. Because apparently that's what is most likely to happen to them according to statistics and someone with a gift for sneaking should do it. I work with the strategists and brainiacs to help find the best way to go about things and this just sounds stupid to me. I mean really, most of them are going to be snipers or some kinda shit if someone's coming they'll be dead before they get a chance to attack. Hopefully.

They finaly came in and Will and I taught them how to escape from a hold, demonstrating the exact maneuvers.

Arron doesn't usually come for training because hes so busy with keeping everything in order. I guess you could call him our manager, the chaos council runs the army along with the department heads but Arron is our unofficial general. I think because of his power it would give us an advantage over the other side. Or its because he scares the shit out of everyone….yeah im going with that theory. Because hes the angel of death, everyone is naturally wary around him, their instincts telling them hes a threat, a predator. He rarely shows emotion and when he does its usually either rage or disappointment and that's not exactly the personality people want to be around. He also got tired of all the pretending and just isolated himself from everyone. So that combined with the fact that he looks threatening and bada-bing-bada-boom, you got yourself the dangerous man of the supernatural universe.

So when he waltzed in while I was training with someone I was surprised.

I had a angel fairly new in his reincarnation cycle, in a choke hold and was telling him that widening his stance would help through an attacker off when the gate to the d training field banged open. I glanced up in annoyance getting ready to yell at whoever was disturbing our class but my expression quickly turned to shock when I saw it was my brother. He looked very aggravated and was stalking up to my place by the trees.

Oh god what happened now? I thought wearily.

I glanced at Will and saw he had the same look of confusion as me and in that split second the angel in my hold had managed to twist my arms and throw me off his back, sending me sailing through the air. Before I could hit the tree Arron caught me in his arms and scowled at the poor boy that threw me.

Okay, so maybe I wasn't allowed to fight. Because of the empathy link, fighting was ten times harder because every time one of us got hurt it would add to the injuries we already had. So one of us fights while the other is at home is how we usually work it out. And by one of is fighting, I mean Arron. And when I say one of is at home, I mean me. I know, fun right?

"I-I-I-im s-s-sorry." The boy stuttered looking frightened. Arron snarled at him and I rolled my eyes.

"Its fine. Put me down dumbass." I said. The boy looked at me with relief in his eyes and ran off. Arron glared at me then promptly dropped me on my ass. I scowled at him and picked myself off the ground.

"What is it that you wanted exactly? To frighten people."

"No, you idiot. Your damn extraction team just got caught and we have no way of getting them out." He growled.

"Van was in charge of the extraction not me." I said looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"He told me it was you!" He exclaimed, exasperated.

"Well that's what you get for trusting him." He looked ready to kill someone so I just pointed in Van's general direction. He started to head that way but Christi jumped in front of him and began questioning him about the naming ceremony. Which is basically when you are formally accepted as whatever angel you are. And since we have so many angels re awakening we are just going to have one big one soon.

"I don't know! I am the fucking angel of death! Do you think I would be in charge of that you piece of trash." He hollered at her and stormed away to track down our

Christi stood there with her jaw on the ground looking very insulted. She turned and looked at me accursedly. "Trash. White. Angel of desire. White trash. Really, are you kidding me whore?" She exclaimed waving her hands in the air.

I busted out laughing and gasped between breaths, "I. Cant. Believe. It took. You that. Long to figure. It out."

Her 4 inch heel went flying past my head.

*End flashback*

I chuckled and everyone looked at me with a funny expression on there face. I just

waved my hand at them.

Arron came back with everyone else and addressed everyone. "Alright everyone lets go to Chaos HQ to see what the fuck is going on. Were taking the SUV'S for this one. I suggest you ride with people who don't aggravate you because its going to be a long drive."

We started walking to the front to get in the cars and it was unnervingly silent. Jacob must have sensed my discomfort and pulled me further into his side and rubbed my arm.

Everyone piled into the cars and we started the eight and a half hour drive to Chaos HQ.
