~Silver P.O.V~

I felt myself getting woozy and unstable as I took a huge step back before I would take off sprinting.

Instead I felt something press against my back, and a very loud growl echoed from behind me. I yelped and stumbled forward, Ven continued to push me along, until I was in the large area in the middle of the surrounding trees.

I felt my stomach twist in multiple directions.

Being with them and surrounded by people was fine, but now, alone, knowing their secret, and they wanted something to do with me, this was definitely not fine.

"Come on Billy~" Catherine stood up and stretched. "No need to be rude to our little guest~"

"She's not my problem," He glanced at her, then back into the fire, moving onto another book and beginning to rip out more pages. Catherine huffed as she finished stretching.

"So you leave all the fun to me~" She laughed. Bill glanced at her again,

"If that's how you'd like to think of it as, fine."

Catherine rolled her eyes with a hand on her hip, but now she completely turned her attention to me. "Now, what do you think you're doing here~" Nothing came out of my mouth for awhile, I managed to get out a long 'um' but that wasn't helping. "Did you and your little mystery buddies come help you investigate earlier? And you hadn't figured out? Sweetie, I hate to tell you, but I was honestly expecting more out of you~ How disappointing..."

"I was just walking home!" I blurted out. "I-I g-got c-curious. T-that's a-all!"

"Curiosity kills that cat you know~" She smiled. "Or in this case, curiosity kills the kitten~ But it is expected, kittens are quite curious." Catherine paused for a moment, her smirk growing wider. "Kittens tend not to know what they get themselves into~ Do they~?"

"W-What?" I blurted.

"You're really disappointing me..." Catherine shook her head. "I thought I could have some smart fun with a smaller one for once."

"W-What?"

"Honey, I know there are more words in your dictionary~" She chuckled. "But I suppose you not understanding is, acceptable. Need me to explain? I mean, who are you going to tell?" Catherine paused with a smirk. "My brother and I-"

"Mostly you," Bill cut in.

"-true, but we have a hobby. A really fun hobby~ Wanna take a guess sweetie?"

I didn't say anything. To be honest I had no idea, but I might as well say something. "K-k-killing?"

"DING! DING! Looks like we've got a winner~"

Wait. I was right!?

"H-Huh?"

"Well, partially~" Catherine paused for a moment. "To put it in a simple way." She shrugged. "We kill angels for sport~"

Oh.

No.

I guess my fear was very obvious...

"We travel place to place looking for them~ Most of them are hidden though, by announcing a certain spell at the end of the week, we reveal them. We can tell that they act off, and that's how we find them~ Then it's bye-bye~"

I swallowed harshly, "O-Okay..."

"Might you know about a location of one? Possibly one yourself?" She tilted her head with a smirk.

I tried to shake my head as slowly as possible. "N-No."

She gave me a look, I didn't know how to describe it, but it wasn't a good one. Catherine quietly nodded and all of a sudden I felt claws from behind me slash through my clothes on my back. That stupid tiger!

Ven began to rip through my sweatshirt and shirt. He pushed me down to ground, holding me down with one paw as I felt his teeth grab a hold of one of my wings, pulling it out to show to Catherine.

I heard her walked over and just stand in front of me. She lightly ran her hand up and down one of them, plucking a feather out and examining it. I heard her giggle as she looked down at me. "You shouldn't have lied, kitten~ It just makes everything worse..."

"Let g-go of m-me!" I shouted.

"And after you've been so nosy? Looking around in our things. Messing with our stuff. Do you honestly think we didn't know what you were up to?" She chuckled. "Telling everyone just how you felt about us. We aren't evil, kitten, if that's what you're implying. We just don't appreciate you angels getting in the way of our plans~."

"F-f-for what w-world d-domination! T-That's e-evil!" I screeched.

"You're trying to sound confident but when face comes to facts, you're really not. You're scared out of your puny little mind, kitten~. Why don't you go ahead and tell me I'm right~."

"N-No!" I retorted.

I felt three of Ven's claws slash into the wing he was holding up. I howled in pain but as soon as he got off and backed away, I shakily stood up, gripping my back.

I looked up to see Catherine hovering over me, her shadow completely castes over myself and my own shadow. "Say it. Tell me you aren't afraid, kitten." She demanded.

"I-"

"No stammering, please."

"S-stammering d-doesn't matter, I-I'm not a-afraid o-of y-you!" I hissed, my heart continuing to race as blood pouring out from my wing down my leg and to the ground.

"Stammering. Does. Matter. Welcome to the game, kitten-"

I shook, the smirk growing wider on her face.

"-and I make all the rules~"
