Jenny's thoughts wandered to Julian as she stared at his carbon copy. Other then his hair color and eye color, he was a dead ringer for Julian. Eerily so.
"I didn't bring you here on purpose. I was trying to bring back another shadow man."
Angel tilted his head to on side charcoal hair falling in his eyes, " Jenny, Jenny, Jenny. Did it ever occur to you that you'd need this other shadow man's runestave? Instead of buying some knock off imitation." A knowing smile marred his features.
"Well, it brought you here, didn't it?" Jenny resorted heatedly.
"You do have a point. "Angel said to her, eyes twinkling with unknown mischief.
"Okay, now that I have 'summoned' you what are you planning on doing to me?" Jenny said slowly edging towards the runestave.
"Nothing Jenny. You summoned me. I am yours to command. And as my first act of obedience I'd like to help you get...," He gestured vaguely.
"Julian. His name is Julian." She supplied edging closer. In another step or two she'd be able to reach it.
"As I was saying I'd like to help you get this Julian back."
"But how would we do ---" Jenny trailed off as realization struck her. "You want to go to the shadow world?"
"That was the general idea, yes."
Angel grinned sardonically as Jenny glared at him.
"I am not going back their with you."
"As opposed to going by yourself, with no protection, against the other shadow men." He sent a disapproving glance her way. "Stupid Jenny, really stupid."
Jenny crossed her arms over her chest, "How the hell do you know my name anyway?"
"How could I not, your blood created me, brought me into existence. I know everything their is to know about you, Jenny Thorton."
"Well, isn't that endearing, and if I were to decide to go along with this plan of yours...?"
Angel smiled and walked over to the runestave. He held it by the tip of the flat branch and moved it away from him an expression of disdain on his beautiful face. Angel's emerald green eyes lit up as if by an inner light and the runestave disappeared before jenny knew what had happened. Smoke wafted from his fingers seemingly from nowhere. "Now, with that out of the way we can get to business."
Jenny swore under her breath silently chiding herself for having let him get his hands on the runstave.
"If you go along with this plan, we, you and I, go to the shadow world and exchange a game for Julian's life. But the shadow men would never agree to just you as a pawn in the game, so we give them Julian too."
"But all the shadow men can do to Julian is carve his name out of the runestave. They can't punish him. He would be a shadow man feeling no pain. What fun would having an untorturable victim be?"
"Well, if we bargained in, Julian giving up his ---, " Angel stopped as if looking for the perfect word.
"Shadowiness, " Jenny supplied.
"Yes --shadowiness-- then the shadow men would not be able to resist. You of course win, with my help, and you and Julian can live happily ever after. "
Jenny eyed Angel suspiciously, "Oh and what do you get out of the bargain?"
Angel stared at her innocently one perfect eyebrow arched artistically ," All I want is my freedom, and of course to stay here in Midgard."
Jenny stared at Angel. If she let him stay on earth what kind of havoc would he reek? His eyes seemed to reflect a horror worse then death. She knew that if she let him stay he'd be worse then the other shadow men, he'd have no boundaries, no limits. What it really came down to was, was Julian really that important to her that she'd be willing to unleash Angel on this world?
Jenny hesitated for only a fraction of a second, "Okay you have a deal. I get Julian and you get to stay here."
"Good. Well, we'd better get moving." He walked to the warehouse door and turned almost as an after thought. "You might want to bring food though, we might be their for a while."
Jenny followed Angel out of the abandoned warehouse.
"Where's your car?"
"Why? Why not just do that shadow thing you guys do. You know POOF." Jenny said snapping her fingers.
Angel groaned and took a sidelong look at Jenny through dark lashes. "That is nothing but a cheap parlor trick to scare the kiddies. Besides, " he paused eying the Jag. "I prefer to travel in style."
"Keys," he said holding out his hand.
"What?" She stared, dumbfounded, as Angel took the car keys from her and jumped into the driver's seat, starting the engine. Jenny rolled her eyes heavenward.
I had to go and create a shadow man that had a thing for expensive cars, she thought shaking her head.
Jenny stared up towards the horizon as dawn broke an impossible blue radiating seemingly from nowhere. She pushed back tears and stared out the window as Angel pulled out onto the highway. I'm coming for you Julian. She suddenly remembered the story that Aba had once told. her and her freinds. I'm coming for you even if I have to kill Iblis himself to do it...
