Vengeful Love

Chapter 10

(Sorry about the delay in updates everyone. :] I know I've got a few trusty viewers and I thank you to high heavens! Keep commenting with support and I'll be sure to crank out the chapters! :D And honestly because it has been so long since I did an update..I don't remember what I was originally planning…so some of the following chapters might change from where it seemed to be going…)

"You have a phone call…Naomi…" Francesca said softly. "I'm not sure who it is though…" She looked concerned, but Naomi took the phone and held it to her ear.

"Hello? Yes, this is her….Uh-huh….Wh-" Naomi's eyes went wide and she dropped the phone, her knees giving out from beneath her, her mouth gaping open.

"Naomi!" Francesca cried out, kneeling down and grabbing the phone. The other end had already hung up, and when she looked at Naomi, tears were streaming down the girls cheeks, her eyes red and her body shaking. "Naomi, what's going on…"

"Naomi! What's wrong dear!" cried Francesca, instantly worried about the girl on her knees.

"My parents…" gasped Naomi, eyes wide still, her body shivering. "Dead….murdered. I don't…I don't even remember who they are…but…but they're gone. I didn't even get another chance to learn who they were since my memories left me…I…They said they will kill everyone…just for me…" she burst into tears, her arms wrapped tightly around her shaking frame. Gabbe had not yet left completely for lunch and rushed over to kneel by Naomi, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Shhh…Naomi…Shh…" she tried to comfort as she looked up at Francesca with distraught eyes. If someone had killed Naomi's parents then they were sending a warning. They were coming for Naomi now, and they had to make sure she stayed safe. It was going to be difficult to hide Naomi because of her growing power levels; they would be easily sensed from a great distance. Who was after her? It wasn't known yet, but there was a good chance that they were all going to find out soon.

"Gabbe can you take Naomi into the back room…I'm going to call the others…" Francesca asked with a frown, walking away. Gabbe pulled Naomi gently away from the floor, trying to calm her down at the same time. "I'll be right back…" she murmured before disappearing.

Gabbe pulled Naomi into a chair in the back room and shut the door slowly, "Shh Naomi…it's okay…Don't cry…It's going to be okay…"she cooed as she sat at her knees, patting Naomi's leg.

"No…it isn't. These people are dead…and it's my fault…I am the reason they are dead…It isn't…It isn't fair…" Naomi whispered in a hushed tone. "If these monsters want me! They can have me! This is wrong!" She stood up shakily and clenched her fists together, walking to the door quickly. "I'm done…I'm gone…I will not put others into danger because of who and what I am…"

"Naomi! Don't!" Gabbe cried, standing up and following the other girl out the door. "You are safe here…"

"Yes..but nobody else is!" Naomi snapped angrily. Just as she was ready to storm out of the building, Francesca returned with the whole crew, all with surprised looks on their faces.

"Where are you going, Naomi?" she asked softly. "You can't leave here…you'll get hurt…" Francesca scolded lightly. "You are weakened right now and would stand no chance against the powers that are after you…You would be foolish to go anywhere alone right now….Now let us go back in here and sit down and talk…"

Naomi groaned in frustration and shook her head,"No!" She snapped, pushing past Francesca, and through her friends until strong arms grabbed her and held her tightly. Cam was looking down at her and shaking his head, "Let me go Cam…I can't stay here…They..they will kill you…all of you...Just let me go!"

"No….Don't you think we understand how dangerous it is to keep you here? We understand the risk and we don't care…We all care about you Naomi…we can't let you get hurt…" he reasoned quietly, leading her back the way she came. "You have to stay…at least until you unlock your powers….."

Naomi's anger continued to rise as the others tried to tell her what she could and couldn't do. It was bordering on rage when they started to discuss what to do with her without even asking her opinion. But she sat quietly in the back room while they all spoke, trying to control herself. But the longer she sat and boiled, the worse it go until she gasped. All eyes fell on her and she felt her heart beat frantically in her chest. Hands came shooting out to her, eyes were wide and mouths moved but she heard and felt nothing but the pain in her chest. Naomi stood up and stumbled a few steps until her knees met the floor and she cried out. Something was happening, but because of her memories she didn't know that it was okay, that it had already happened once to her. She was coming back into her powers, not only were her memories coming back, but her full potential as an Angel was awakening.

Her skin began to glow a soft creamy hue, and her power rippled around her as her human body was shed. It was really happening this time, no halfway change, no partial memory, she was finally as she was destined. But her true destiny was one she did not yet know. Nobody did.

It felt like hours had passed before she could finally hear the voices around her, and when she came back to reality she was lying on a bed, her eyes cast up a the ceiling. When had they moved her to bed? She felt a little sore, but otherwise she felt like a new person. Naomi pushed the hands away from her and moved her legs over the side of the bed, looking around with a new sense of awareness. She now knew who each person in the room was. She knew their story, and what side they had chosen when war had come upon the heavens.

"Fallen…Thank you for helping me…" She murmured quietly. Her eyes fell on Cam across the room, who seemed nervous and ready to flee, and she laughed quietly. "I'm not going to chase you away again…not like I did a few months back when I awoke the first time…" she murmured. "I was…surprised..." She looked at Francesca and frowned. "It seems my irritation in my human form cracked the control over my power…and it all rushed out at once…I know this was not intended to happen this way…it is a bit more…traumatic…" Naomi said with a soft grumble. "I do believe this transformation as supposed to occur over several months and even years…" Slowly she stood up and brushed the front of her pants off, "Now…I will decide what to do about these criminals…"

"Naomi…" Francesca started to argue but Naomi lifted a graceful hand and shook her head.

"No- I am an Angel…you are all Fallen…if I cannot help myself…you all can't hope to do any better…"she reasoned. She did not mean to be rude, but by the faces on a few of the Fallen it seemed to be taken as offensive. "I am sorry…But I do not wish for any of you to get hurt…I need to figure out why I was reincarnated in this life….I was not aware I would have another chance at life…" She looked up at Cam and frowned. "A life for a life perhaps…" she felt her body tense when she thought of it and she saw Daniel step in front of Cam. "You do not need to protect him…Yet…I have other things to worry about right now…" she murmured, "Vengeance can come later…"
