Chapter 5
"So Angel. It looks like you found a way to fit in real fast," Corinne noted, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Corinne, you know I had to move before that social worker found me."
"Anyway. Since we're going to be working together, we should get to know one another," John pointed out as the others nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you handle the introductions, Angel? You know everyone," Amy told her, looking around at the other group.
"Okay. I'll do you guys first. This is Corinne and Alan. They're our instigator and speed-demon, respectively. Corinne is also co-leader with Alex now." Corinne flipped her hair behind her head when Angel said her name. "Next to them are Alex and Amy. Alex is a made-vampire and my second- in-command. Amy is a witch and a made-vampire. They're soulmates. This is John and Patrick. Tyrna made John, and then John went and found his best friend, Patrick. It's kind of what you want to do to Peter, Sage."
"Oh, okay," was Sage's comment. Angel continued the introductions.
"This is Matt and Tyrna. They're lamia as well. Tyrna is like a mother to everyone, and Matt is our best fighter. He and Alan are brothers."
"Who in this group doesn't have a significant other? Kat asked, giggling.
"Look kitten, we have more couples in this group then they do, so don't start," she said as Amber and Luke started to laugh. Kat hated being called "kitten", but Angel was the only one who could do it and get away with it.
"So who are the members of your new group, Angel?" Tyrna wondered, always ready to meet new people.
"We call ourselves Circle Starlight. This is Bobbi and Mike. Bobbi shifts a bobcat, and Mike shifts a mountain lion. They're soulmates. Over there is Sage and Lilli. Lilli is a falcon 'shifter and a witch, and Sage is an Old- Soul and a werewolf. They're currently dating. Jake and Kat are over there. Jake is a werewolf and Kat is our resident witch. Again, they're dating."
"Okay, one question. Who among you doesn't have a significant other? Besides Angel, of course?" Matt asked, knowing full well that Angel would've mentioned a boyfriend if she had one.
"Peter is the only one who doesn't have a soulmate. And Matt, say what you're thinking, and Tyrna will be scraping you off the wall with a spatula!" Angel replied as Matt started to say something. Alan whacked him on the head, and Corinne laughed. Even Sage started laughing as Peter turned bright red.
"So that means that you two are probably dating," Patrick guessed, pointing to Amber and Luke. They merely nodded their heads.
"Guys, meet Amber and her boyfriend, my cousin Luke," Angel introduced as the Night Raiders looked at Luke with respect. He must be a tough vampire if Angel admitted being related to him.
"So Amber, are you a vampire too?" John asked.
"One hundred percent lamia," she replied as Luke put his arm around her.
"Good. Now that we're all friends, can we figure out what to do next?" Peter asked. Everyone turned to look at him.
"And what would you like us to do?" Alex inquired, eyeing him.
"We have to figure out a way to get Peter into the Hunter's group. Then we need to keep a close eye on him so that we know what their movements are," Sage replied, telling everyone the plan.
"Here's an idea. Why don't we work in groups. This way, there's more of us covering one section," Lilli suggested as the others agreed.
"We can go in fours," Bobbi added, wanting to get to know Corinne and Alan a little better. They seemed to be like her and Mike.
"That seems like a good plan. So what are the teams, Angel?" Amy asked, looking at her friend.
"Why are you asking me? Can't you guys find partners yourselves?" As soon as she finished her question, they all moved. Alan and Corinne smiled as Bobbi and Mike came to join them. Amy and Alex sat down next to Kat and Jake. Sage and Lilli smiled as John came over and sat down near them. Matt and Tyrna went to stand next to Luke and Amber. Suddenly, Angel realized who she was teamed with. "Oh no. No, no, no. I am not, repeat not going with Peter and Patrick. I'll kill one of them. I know I will!" she yelled as Peter and Patrick looked at each other and then at Angel. Both of them had weird smiles on their faces. Angel proceeded to back away from them.
"Don't worry, Angel. We won't do anything," they said together.
"You promise?" she asked cautiously. The two boys nodded their heads.
"We promise!"
"Do you really? Because I won't hesitate to kill either one of you, you realize that." They kept shaking their heads.
"Scout's honor," they chorused, plastering smiles on their faces. While the rest of the group laughed loudly, Angel groaned.
"Goddess, why me? I've tried to be good, really I have! Why are you punishing me?" No one answered her. Angel looked at the two boys who she had to work with. "Rule one- No touching Angel. Rule two- No bothering Angel. And rule three- Angel makes all the rules!" The smiles remained on their faces. With a sigh, Angel turned to go outside. The others jumped up and raced after her.
"Finally, some action on this dull trip!" Alex yelled, as the Night Raiders gave a war whoop. Angel and the other members of Circle Starlight joined in. This would prove to be interesting!
"So Angel. It looks like you found a way to fit in real fast," Corinne noted, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
