**Angelic**

I couldn't believe it was morning. I couldn't believe what had happened last night! Goddess I feel like such an idiot! I'm such an idiot for kissing Damian! Sure he kissed me, but I'm an idiot for kissing him back!

IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT!

I would have screamed it out-loud, but there were other people in the house, and the last thing I need to do was make a scene. God I can see it now.

"You kissed Damian Blackthorn? You Trader! GET OUT!"

Goddess would that suck monkey ass. You know, I now know what I'll do! I'll forget it ever happened! It never happened, it never happened, it never happened, it never

IT HAPPENED! I KISSED DAMIAN BLACKTHORN!

Oh my, what am I gonna do? There is no way in hell I'll gonna march down there and tell them what happened! Heck, I'll just keep it to myself. I'm really starting to dislike this whole soulmate thing. At first it was like: Cool! I got my soulmate! Then it was like: OH man! My soulmate is evil and hates me! Now its like: I WISH HE'D DIE! Goddess why can't I make up my mind?

Okay, all this worrying and fretting are doing me no good. I'm gonna get dressed, and go downstairs and do something fun. I decided. I pulled off all my cloths and then pulled on hip hugging, faded jeans, an extremely tight pull over blue tank top, ankle-socks, and tennis shoes.

As I was leaving the room I stopped and looked in the mirror. I didn't look that bad. I have semi-large blue eyes, twisted curly blonde hair it goes a little bit past my shoulders, an oval face, lightly tanned skin, full lips, a full chest, a perfect completion, I'm about 5'4 ½ , and weigh about 100 pounds. I have my ears pierced four times on each ear, no tattoos, no other piercing. I don't wear glasses; I could be the most popular person in school if I wanted. But I don't.

I smiled and walked downstairs. I had no problem with how I look. Sure I don't look "witchy" but there was no law saying I had too! I walked into the kitchen grabbing a glass of orange juice the sat down.

Jez, Morgead, Keller, Galen, Ash, Quinn, Rashel, and a few other people were all up. Doing who knows what. Honestly I didn't care. It was too early, and the only reason I was up is because there was no way in hell I could go back to sleep after. what happened.

Some guy, Quentin, was mumbling something about "bloody mornings coming too soon" but for me, the morning hadn't come soon enough.

"Did you hear the news?" Rashel mumbled not looking up from the stack of papers she was looking at.

"No. What happened?" I asked.

Rashel stopped and looked up. "Some guy broke in last night. Didn't take anything, hurt the guards at the front gate though. Tore up the front yard. And scared the shit outta Illiana, though we know a bit about what he looks like." Rashel said then went back at the papers.

"What does he look like?" I asked, hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.

Jez looked up and around. "Okay, he's somewhere around 6'2, 6'3, muscled, semi-long black hair, dark green eyes or maybe black eyes, his bottom lip and eyebrow were pierced, and a tattoo, but Illiana couldn't make it out." Jez said.

I was right, it IS Damian!

"Okay, I can't think of who it is right now, but I am going shopping. I'll catch ya'll later." I said getting up and walking out to one of Thierry's cars. I borrowed the BMW convertible. First think I did was put down the hood of the car.

I drove to the mall. I wanted to buy a reviling outfit. Then I was gonna go visit good ol' Damian.

I went into the mall wearing my jeans and tank top. And came out wearing a short, short black mini skirt, an extremely tight pale blue tube top that was really small, knee high black boots, and black sunglasses. My blond hair was down and glimmering.

I tossed the bag with my original clothing in the back and got into the silver BMW. I knew where Damian lived because of that damn soulmate connection.

I turned on the radio and played: 'Down with the Sickness' by Disturbed.

Looking at my own reflection

When suddenly it changes

Violently it changes

Oh no, there is no turning back now

You've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

Open up your hate and let it flow into me

You mother get up, you fcker get up

Madness is the gift that has been given to me

I can see inside you the sickness is rising

Don't try to deny what you feel

It seems that all that was good has died

And is decaying in me

It seems you're having some trouble

In dealing with these changes

Living with these changes

The world is a scary place

Now that you've woken up the demon in me

As I drove I put on dark red lipstick and silvery-blue eye shadow. Then I pulled into his driveway. He lived in a mansion with his parents. But I could tell they weren't here. But I could tell he had some friends over, vampires obviously.

I got out of the car slowly. And then walked up to the doorway. I rang the doorbell, and almost instantly a butler answered the door, he was a werewolf.

"Is Damian here?" I asked silkily. The werewolf blushed. Obviously the guy was not experienced. But hell, either was I, I just could put on an act.

"Yes, Miss, they're out back." He said and invited me in. He walked me to the back then walked off. I leaned against the doorframe crossing my ankles. I watched the guys. They sat around talking and laughing. I raised one eyebrow.

~ Damian. ~ I called in his mind slyly. He looked up, so did half of the guys, I knew they were all strong telepathically and that they all heard me. I smiled at them. Some of the guys were checking me (and my incredible legs) out. I still had on the sunglasses so in one fluent movement I took moved them to the top of my head.

Damian had a look in his eye. He wasn't going to move, and neither was I. Finally Damian got up saying, "I'll be right back." He walked toward me and I turned and walked forward. "My room." He hissed in my ear.

Damian some how got in front of me and led the way to 'his room'. He went in a room and I followed. I noticed he locked the door. His room was messy and painted black, and he had a few posters up. He had a queen sized bed, and a huge stereo system. If it weren't for the weapons scattered everywhere, it would look like a normal teenaged boys room.

I sat down in a chair and crossed my ankle. Damian sat on the bed, facing me though. "What are you doing here?" He practically growled.

"Why did you destroy Thierry's front lawn?" I fired back.

"Cause I hate him. And he deserved to be hurt." He growled at me. I opened my mouth angrily. Well, at least he was honest.

"He did nothing to you! I live there too you know! I can't believe you! You and your stupid.. stupid childish games!" I said in dismay. I can't believe he hates Thierry; Thierry is the most loving, nice person I know!

Damian leaned forward so our faces were only inches apart. "He did many things to me. More then you can imagine." Damian hissed in my face.

"What? What did he do to you? And what did Illiana do to you?" I asked him angrily.

Damian grew very serious. "You wanna know what he did to me? He took you away from me! And Illiana just got in the way." He hissed. I didn't know what to say, I was stunted. "Yea. If he and those tree huggin, animal- humping Daybreakers weren't there, you could be mine."

"Damian, I would never be yours! And I happen to be one of those 'tree huggin, animal humping Daybreakers'! I wouldn't be yours if you were the last man/ vampire whatever on earth! In the universe!" I cried angry. How dare he think that way! Goddess I hate him!

Damian lashed out and grabbed my hip and dragged me over to him. Oh shit! Then, to my surprise, he. kissed me. Suddenly I was thrown into his mind. Seeing flashes of him and his life. He had the same to mine.

~ Damian. ~ I started to say but he silenced me.

~ Don't talk. ~ He said. I searched his memories, while kissing him. He was blocking something from me. But I couldn't see what. But then I was blocking stuff from him.

~ Damian, what are you hiding? ~ I asked him. I was straddling his legs, and if someone walked in, we'd look like a normal 'couple' scary as it was.

~ Angel, what are you hiding? ~ He fired back. He got me there.

I tried to think of something. ~ I'll show you, if you show me. ~ I said.

~Fine. ~ He said, and I let my boundaries go, he did the same.

I could see the way he first saw me, I looked like an angel. I had on black pants, a white button up, my blond hair was pulled up with a few pieces framing my face, I had one hand on my hip and the other in my back pocket. I never realized that's how he saw me. I searched a few others of his memories. When suddenly I was thrown into one!
A small boy crouched in the corner; he pushed himself back as far as he could. I was diagonal from him. I walked over to him and sunk to my knees I stroked him cheek, and pushed his face hair out of his eyes. Oh my goddess, it's Damian. I thought. He was bruised badly, and scared, he was in some sort of dungeon. Suddenly a big huge guy walked in, he looked a lot like Damian.

He reached down; a wooden chain was in his hands. He had a bit of it curled around his hand and the rest dangling down. He pulled his hand down and sent the free part at Damian, it hit Damian hard dint he back. Damian cried out and tried to get farther in the corner. But the guy, I think it's Damian's Dad, kept hitting him with the chain over and over again. After about five, ten minutes of it he stopped. He grabbed Damian by the throat and slammed him into the wall once then left the room. Another guy came in. This one looked nothing like Damian.

He grabbed Damian by the throat. "Damian, I heard you've been a bad little boy." The guy purred. Oh my goddess! I hit at the man, but he didn't even react. Damian squirmed trying to get out of the man's grasp.

"No! No! I didn't do anything this time! Really!" Damian said. There was so much blood everywhere.

"That's not what your Dad told me. He told me you were bad, and now your gonna be punished!" The guy said. Damian's eyes were wide and he struggled to get away. But it didn't work.

The big guy started ripping off Damian's cloths and pushed him down on the cot, the he started to un-dr..
Suddenly I was ripped out of the memory. I was gripping onto Damian, my nails digging into his skin. I hadn't realized how hysterical I was! Damian was holding me. We were just sort of rocking. "Oh my goddess! Damian!" I said hugging him, burying my head in his chest.

"Shh. Shh. It's okay, it's not as bad as it seems." He said rocking me.

"Yes. yes it is! Damian that's horrible! No kid should have that done to them! None! Oh Damian, I'm so sorry. I. I didn't know." I said holding on to him. He just rocked me.

"It's okay, Angel. Really. I didn't mean for you too see that anyways." Damian whispered.

"But Damian! That's horrible! I don't even have that bad of memories! Nothing like that! Damian I'm so sor." I started but he cut me off by putting his finger against my lips.

"Don't worry about it baby." He said. His dark green eyes held pain. They made me wanna cry. I donno why, but they just did.

Suddenly I through him into one of my memories, without even meaning too.
I was six years old. I walked into my house skipping. "Mommy! Daddy! I'm home!" I called skipping. I just got home from kindergarten. It was so much fun! My teacher, Miss. Carter, was so nice!

The house was quiet.

"Mommy? Daddy?" I called again walking into the living room. Suddenly two huge guys and a lady threw Mommy and Daddy into the living room. I jumped behind a chair peeking out just enough to see. My eyes were wide. It was so scary!

They hit mommy and daddy. "Heard you had a little brat. Where is the lil thing?" One of the huge guys asked Mommy. When mommy didn't answer he hit her. I heard a loud crack and mommy didn't move again.

Tears ran down my cheek.

Daddy tried to move to get to Mommy, but the big man hit him in the chest, I heard a loud crack. "Where is the little brat!" He yelled. Daddy just shook his head. Though I saw his flash over at me.

"ANSWER HIM GOD-DAMNIT!" The lady screamed. I jumped when she screamed and she slammed her heal into Daddy's face. Tears were running down my face.

"Lets just kill him and blow up the house. That way if the little turd is here, she'll blow to pieces!" The other guy said.

"Yea." The lady said kicking him so hard Daddy flipped over and landed by Mommy. The other big guy slammed his foot down on Daddy's chest then they left.

I ran over to Daddy and Mommy. "Run, sweetie, run and don't ever come back. We love you. And we'll always watch over you." Daddy whispered slipping a necklace around my neck.

I stood up. "I love you too Daddy, I love you Mommy." I said then I grabbed my teddy bear and ran. I didn't know where I was going. I didn't care. But I had to do as Daddy said. And I would! Because I love daddy and mommy.

I hear a loud explosion, but I refused to look back. I just kept running. I wouldn't stop till I was safe. So who knows when I would stop.

By nightfall I stopped running, but was walking. I went into an alley. Everything was scary. I saw a big guy, but not the one from earlier. "Oh look, a snack. I was getting hungry." He said moving closer to me.

I gripped my teddy bear and stepped backwards till I was up against the wall. The guy kept coming closer. Then another guy was there! He had blond hair. He stepped in front of me and then he did something, he slammed a wooden thing into the guy and the big guy fell dead.

The blond hair guy turned to face me and crouched down. "I'm Thierry. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm gonna take you home, we'll take care of you." He said picking me up. Thierry saved me!
I jerked Damian and myself out of the memory. Damian had his arms around me. Tears, which were a pale blue and pale purple, ran from my eyes. ~ Looks like neither of us have parents. Well I got em, but I don't want em. ~ Damian said in my head. He took his hand and wiped a tear away.

~ Thierry saved me. That's why I'm a Daybreaker. Please don't try to hurt him. I'd be dead if it wasn't for him." I said tears still slowly falling off my face.

Damian didn't answer right away. ~ I won't. ~ He said finally.

"Damian?" I said aloud.

"What?" He asked.

"I don't wanna leave." I said surprising myself.

~ Then don't. ~ He said in my head.

~ But I got to. But promise me you'll never leave me. ~ I said.

~ I won't leave you, if you don't leave me. ~ He said still holding me.

I smiled and cuddled up against his chest. "I don't think I can." I answered honestly.
