Hey guys and girls

Yet again, it's been too long since I've updated Scarlet Heart and I'm extremely sorry and thank you for waiting for the next chapter.

Another point I'd like to make is that I'm starting to use Microsoft Word 2007 and the default font and font size goes back to 11. So I'm not sure if my chapters are going to be longer or shorter and I'm depending on you to tell me. Thanks xx

Have Fun.

Take Me Away

Vee's POV

I was in my Aston Martin, being driven home by Rodes, who carries on insisting that he stays with me. I know its all part of the Carnet protection thing, but I also think, since we're boyfriend and girlfriend, that he's becoming extremely clingy. I wonder how on Earth Nora puts up with this when it comes to Patch. Speaking (well, thinking) of Nora, I noticed the way Alaric was looking at her.

"I suggest you get that out of your mind, Vee." Rodes changes gear and continues to look ahead. I twiddle with my fingers and blush. I'd completely forgotten that Rodes, like other Haza, have psychic abilities. There is a long silence. Rodes leans over and switches the radio on. The song 'A Girl Like You' by Edwin Collins came on. I smiled with relief. It's a song I know from a film. That film would be…oh dear, pardon the pun…Charlie's Angels. I giggled at the thought of God being called Charlie, Charles…funny stuff.

"You noticed it too?" I turn my face slightly towards Rodes. I could see from the corner of my eye that Rodes gave a nod.

"Sirera and I did more than notice it. Alaric was basically shouting his thoughts with panic and confusion. Behind that whole meeting, us three were trying to sort out the situation." Rodes clears his throat as if to stop the subject, but I have a small hint of where this is leading. I'm, of course, not going to tell Patch anything, but I'm definitely talking to Nora about this. I could possibly help.

"What's the situation? Don't you dare lie to me. Me and Nora are best friends and this angel business has brought us to our closest friendship point yet." I look towards Rodes, putting my gaze in full force and I swear, I was pulling off my legendary scowl that could make a grown man crumble.

"Alaric and Nora are Carnets. They have the bluebell symbol. That's one of the strongest you can get. Stronger than ours and Crimsons with Sirera. Alaric and Nora have the symbol of everlasting love and gratitude. For that symbol get on the torso's, they must've…" Rodes trailed off. I looked away. I know for a fact that Nora loves Patch to bits, but I could never imagine her cheating on him with Alaric, yet again, she cheated on him with Crimson but they never went the whole nine yards. Could've Alaric and Nora really had sex?

"Nah, Nora wouldn't do that to Patch, she loves him too much. They must've made out on the floor or something. You know? Something…I don't know…something passionate." I realized what I said, fits in with the scene perfectly. I knew it from then. What I said was the truth. I looked down when I realized I'd said passionate. Passion is love, or complete admiration and determination for something.

"You're right. That's exactly what happened actually. Vee? Please don't screw things up for Alaric or Patch. I'm trying to separate them as much as you want to. Patch is a good friend and I want his relationship to work. Alaric doesn't need drama in his life at the moment, and he's like a little brother to me, I don't want him getting his face smashed in." I could feel the roar of the engine from the Aston. Rodes was speeding up. I looked out the window and saw we were next to a forest. I look at Rodes.

"Can you stop here? I want to walk back to mine. I'll be alright on my own. Promise." I could see Rodes about to protest. I put a hand up to stop him. "I need time to think for Nora and Patch and Alaric. Can you give me that? A little privacy?"

"I'll drive to yours and wait in your room. Be careful." Rodes kisses my hand and I pull the lever and the door clunked open. I stepped out and slammed the door shut. I turned to look at the forest and started to walk within it. As soon as I was next to the closest pine tree, Rodes sped away. I could feel the ache from him being so far anyway. I kept walking forwards, slowly, for about seven minutes until I knew I was in no Haza's range of psychic annoyance.

I ran like lightning.

Ever since that night I encountered the Avenging Angel, I've been healing quicker, remembering everything, stronger, running faster…very fast.

Not to mention, I weighed myself and took a photo of myself yesterday and today. I'm losing weight, and my features are becoming bolder. It's like I'm becoming absolutely, the purest beauty possible.

I stop next to a pond and splash some water in my face. I have no idea what's going on with me, but I want to find out. This is why Nora is the only person I'm telling about this. If I tell anyone else, they'd just become paranoid, especially Rodes. I sprang and continued to run.

I finally come to a stop when I come to a small open clearing. One side has tree covering while the other side is wide open space. That space has a ridge, a pointed rock that you could sit on and over look the lakes. This ridge is at a cliff, and the point reminded me of 'The Lion King'. That is probably the main reason I chose it.

Maybe I should snatch a cat and hold it up in the sky. I giggle to myself and sigh. I sit on the ridge and look at the beautiful view of sunrays bursting through the cloud covering. I reach to my pocket and pull out my phone with relief; I actually didn't know it was there. I'm actually quite surprised it didn't fall out with my running and stopping.

I grab the earphones and place them on, switching the music player on and swaying in time to Michael Jacksons 'Earth Song', which, actually, matched the current mood, I was in. Not too happy, but not sad.

It is as an English teacher said. It's ambiguous.

It means confusing.

I take a deep breath and whistle to Michael Jackson.

Avenging Angels POV

There is the girl. How stupid of her to come alone. I could break her neck in a few seconds, but what good would that do to me. She is a huntress; a woman of pure intent chosen by God to protect anything and everything. If I snap her neck, all that would happen is it would snap back and she would get a gush of air in her lungs with the shock of dying briefly. Yet all I would do is continue to snap it, until she begs to die, which God would grant. That's the problems with huntress.

They are immortal, and can only die when they want to and request it. They must truly want it too.

I crouch lower as I see the girl swaying to obscene music. My brothers have requested me to watch her, since one was close to killing her, if you can call it killing. I hear a snap of a twig and spin round fast. I see a blur of white and follow it.

My brother summons.

"What is thy bidding?" I see my brother in arms, in a sorrow face. We are miles away. Yes, that is how fast we travel in mere seconds.

"Report!"

"The huntress is oblivious to her race. Her friend is Carnet to the youngest Haza, yet she loves the Guardian. A complicated mess. All our brothers fault. We must thank him." I bow in respect to my higher brother.

"Crimson was close to finishing us all off. There are only three brothers left now. The time for thanking is non-existent. We must continue to watch and learn about these brats that call themselves lovers. You stay…no…we go back today. He is getting suspicious. Bribe someone to do the work for you." I see a flash and my brother is gone.

"Brother." I bow and turn running back to the girl. I crouch and watch her.

She will not live long. It is my primary target to make her suffer and die.

But for now, I watch. I smile with anticipation.

Keep your friends close and enemies closer as they say.

Although this girl, will not be the first to die.

Dun-dun-duuu!
