Children of an angel
Chapter 4: the intruder

The two walked into their house, and where greeted by their mother. "Hey, I want you to meet someone" she said enthousiastic, and she pointed to a man.

"Hi, you two must Crystal and Ricardo" the man said in a friendly voice. He looked rather nice, he was tall, had brown eyes and brown hair. He also wore glasses.

"Who are you" Crystal said a bit rude.

"I'm sorry, I'm Matthew Winther, and I know you're mother from work" the man said.

"So,...has our house become a meeting-room suddenly?" Ricardo asked.

Jewel smiled, "No, Matthewe helped me with something at work, so I invited him over, to have dinner. You know, to thank him".

"I see" Crystal said in a weird voice, it sounded like she wasn't to happy having Matthew over.

"Well, since you two are here, let's eat". Jewel said.

During dinner, something became obvious for the twins. This wasn't just a thank you dinner. Matthew liked their mother. And she liked him, they kept on talking together, they smiled at each other in a way usually only people in love do, and worst of all, Matthew took Jewels hand during dinner. And Jewel let him.

Crystal didn't want to see it anymore "I'm going out" she said.

"Out...h...honey, where are you going" Jewel asked stunned at her daughter.

"Out" Crystal said, she grapped her jacked and walked out of the door.

Jewel was shocked, ~what's up with her?~ she thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Crystal walked with angry big passes. ~How, could mom do this!!!!!!!!~ she yelled in her haid.

She walked to the cemetery, she knew exactly where she was going. She's benn here a lot for the past eleven years. Crystal stopped before the big grey stone. "Hi dad" she said.

Crystal placed her hand upon the stone. "I missed you" she whisperd "It's all so fucked up here dad" Crystal sat down next to her father's grave "You wouldn't believe what mom did, sorry that I have tot tell you this, but you should know, mom she.....she's in love with someone else. Some jerk from her work. How stupid is that? She's betraying you dad" Crystal sighted.

"I'm sorry, but I need you.....I really do" Crystal said.

She kissed the stone, and walked of. Crystal didn't saw the woman suddenly emerging from behind the stone. "You get stronger every day angel's child, but darkness is coming towards you" a weird voice said.

Crystal walked trough the streets, she didn't feel like going home. Not with her mother betraying her father in there. She kicked a poor stone that dared to cross her path. Suddenly she saw a bunch of dark figures coming towards her, they surrounded her. "Great, Oni" she said.

"Artemis....how are you pretty thing" a voice said.

"Good, until you got her Arawn" Crystal replied.

"Feisty" the leader of the Oni said "Artemis, i have a problem, a couple of my best men have been busted, and now, we might get busted to"

"Aww to bad" Crystal said sarcastic.

"I wouldn't be so tough if I where you Artemis, you don't have you're gang here now, and well, some revenge before I get arrested is a good thing" Arawn said.

Crystal took a fighting stand. "What do you want Arawn"

"That was enough intvite" Arawn smirked. And the Oni started walking towards Crystal with weapons.

"Great.." Crystal sighted.

The Oni attacked, Crystal could fight them of for now. She had been doing all sorts of martial arts since she was a kid. But she knew that she couldn't handle them much longer.

"Give it up Artemis, and I might spare you" Arawn laughed.

Crystal simply lifted her middle finger. And she continued to fight. But the Oni had to many men. Crystal's arms where grapped from behind, and she was stuck. Crystal tried to break free, but with a couple of guys holding you back, that is a bit of a problem.

Arawn walked towards Crystal. "Well well well, what have we here" he said.

"That was the worst cliche in the history of bad cliche's Arawn" Crystal said.

"I know another cliche....goodbye" Arawn said, and he pointed a gun at her.

Suddenly the gun was pulled out of Arawns hands by an invisible force. The gun flew trough the air and was consumed by a white light. Everybody was to shocked to know what in the name of the devil just happend so Crystal had time to break free. When she was out she lifted her arms and the same light forced the Oni to fall. "What the...." Crystal said. "What did I just do?" She couldn't awnser it, but the Oni where onconsious, so Crystal ran home.

The same woman from the cemetery emerged again. "You are stronger than I thought..." the seer spoke "I'll try to contact Jonathan".

But someone else was also watching. From the shadow's very close to the fight. A mechanical sound was heard and something came forward. A strange man that looked like half a machine watched the damage Crystal had made. "Perfect" he smirked and he flew off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Crystal wasn't sure how she got home after the fight. She just knew that she walked trought the door. Seeing a note on the table.

Sweety, I don't know what's wrong with you. But we'll talk in the morning I haven't called the police cause matthew said you'll be home soon.

I'm going to bed now.

Love, mom

~Great, now that son of a bitch Matthew is already more important than me~ Crystal thought.

The next morning, when Crystal got out of bed, she felt like shit. She hated that Matthew, how dae he try to hit on her mother. She also rememberd the strange events from last night. She had no idea what that power was, it scared her, but at the other hand it excited her.

Crystal took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs. Everybody was still asleep, when she was down she heard noises coming frm the kitchen, ~what the....mom and Ric are stil asleep.....burglars, they'll be sorry~ Crystal walked into the room softly. When she got to the kitchen she jumep and pinned the intrudor to the wall, in a quick movement she grapped a knife from the kitchen sink and held it by the intrudor's troath. Crystal looked up to see the frightnend face of Matthew.

~WHAT~ Crystal thought "What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked him.

"Er...do you mind letting me go first" Matthew asked, he was obvious scared to shit by Crystal's attack.

"Yes, I do mind, now why are you here?"

"I didn't leave last night, I staid with Jewel, she was worried about you".

This pissed Crystal off, "So you thought that you could chase me away and screw my mother" she said in a very angry voice.

"No I...look I'll explain but please let me go" Matthew nearly begged.

Crystal smirked, she moved the knife away from his throat and put it back, after that she let Matthew go. Matthew was still in shock.

"You're a good fighter" Matthew said. "But you could've killed me".

"I wouldn't, it would make a mess on the floor, but if you where a burglar or something, I would've". Crystal replied.

"Why do you hate me so much?" Matthew asked.

"You're hitting on my mother" Crystal simply replied.

"Do you think I want you're mother, and replace you're father?" Matthew asked.

Crystal glared at him, "You know..you're brother doesn't hate me" Matthew continued.

"Ric would never show his emotions, if I don't like someone I say it, Ric doesn't do that" Crystal said.

"Look,...I didn't screw you're mother, I wouldn't do that just after one dinner, but I like her alot, and she was worried about you. But I know you kids, and you'll be back, you just needed to cool down." Matthew said.

"What are you, a psychiatist?" Crystal said.

"Yes, I am" Matthew replied. "So I know what's wrong with you, you see me as a treath, someone that wants to be you're dad and stuff but I'm not."

"And I was thinking you where one of my mothers patients" Crystal sais sarcastic. (A/N: their mother is also a psychiatrist, but she's more a researcher, and matthew is specialised in child and youth psychaitry, hope that clears things up)

"Crystal!" Jewel walked into the kitchen watching her daughter and Matthew having a 'coversation'. She was worried Crystal might kill him.

Crystal glared at her mom.

"Hey, Jewel, I was making breakfast, but erm, I think my noise woke up Crystal" Matthew said.

"I woke up myself" Crystal said in a I-don't-need-you-for-this-or-anything- else kinda voice. "I heard you whenn I was down and I thought you where a burglar, so I decided to defent the house".

"Sorry Matt, did she hurt you" Jewel said.

"Neh, I'm still alife" Matthew replied. He didn't say anything about the knife.

"Crystal could you please drag you're brother out of bed so we can eat?" Jewel asked.

"Fine"

Crystal walked up. When she got into Ricardo's room she heard him snorring, and his feet stuck out of bed".

"Riccie" Crystal said in a sweet soft voice.

"Ricardo, dear brother...."

"RIC, GET YOU'RE LASY ASS OUT OF BED NOW!!!!!!!!!!"

"Huh?????" a voice came.

"Take a shower, and put on clothes, the intruder has made breakfast" Crystal said.

"Owwwok" Ricardo said yawning.

During breakfast, Matthew turned out to be not such an ass afterall. He talked alot and he was very funny ~Mabey he's not so bad~ Crystal thought ~But he's still not my father~.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

"I have to go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jonathan practicly yelled with a sound that could wake up the entire hell.

"You can't and you know that" the seer said.

"But Crystal is in trouble, and this darkness you spoke off, it's coming closer" Jonathan said.

"I can forsee things, but nobody can change fate" the seer said.

"Screw fate" Jonathan said "You can make you're own fate."

"I know Jonathan, but this darkness that comes towards you're children. I can't stop it. No one can. And you must imagine, I saw that darkness already 11 years ago, maybe this is ment to be. I'm sorry Jonathan. But you're children are strong, and especially Crystal. They'll be fine. I promiss" the seer sighted, she wished she could help.

But it was impossible, the darkness had nearly found the twins. And it couldn't be stopped. It would come to the two kids soon, a little while after their 17th birthday. The seer didn't know what it was, but she could feel that it would change the lifes of alot of people, in a huge way...........

A/N: End of the chap. Please tell me what you think.
