Chapter three: The Raven's song
I want to thank Dark Angel66, thanks a lot for reviewing my story, sorry it took me awhile to update, but heres the next chapter! = ) Disclaimer: I don't own any Angel characters, I do own Kim/Raven, and Jake. Ok, heres the next chapter, enjoy!
Chapter three
Angel saw a very large and dark bruise covering part of the girls stomach. But what surprised him was that it was not fresh, it was rather old.
"What happened to you?" He asked as he stood up and looked at her.
Kim wrapped her arms around herself again.
I-It's old, somthing that happened a long time ago that left me with some, um, side effects. It hasn't done this in awhile though, I must have moved the wrong way or somthing."
Angel looked at her some what skeptically, he could sense she was hiding somthing. Kim suddenly turned around, grabbed her bag, and began to walk out the door, waving over her shoulder.
"Thanks for your help, but I'd better get going before my friends start a search party for me."
As she walked down the hall, her slim figure swaying, Angel used his hyper speed (AN:When he moves really fast, lol don't know what to call it) and stood firmly in front of Kim. She rolled her eyes and tried to walk past him, he blocked her. She stood there for a second, and then gave him a look that could freeze hell over. But Angel had seen way scarier things, and it didn't bother him much.
"I have another reason I'm here, are you in any danger?"
Kim looked at him as though he was crazy.
"No, not that I know of, now please move."
"No, somthings going on, you're hiding somthing. I'm a private investigator by the way, but I speacialize in things the police can't handle."
He handed her a card, and she looked at it.
"Angel Investigations, ok if I need you, I'll call, Thank you for your help."
Once again, Angel blocked her path.
"By things police can't handle, I mean-"
"You mean vampires, demons, and all the other creatures of the night, right?"
Angel looked at her, clearly surprised.
"Hey, after living on the streets for awhile, you kinda figure things out, and have to defend yourself."
"Well, then I can tell you that my friend had a vision and your in danger. Raven."
Kim had gotten past him and was walking down the hall, but when she heard 'Raven' she stopped.
"What did you say?" She asked, her voice shakey.
"Raven." Angel repeated, knowing what she meant.
Kim turned around, a brief flash of fear crossed her face, but vanished quickly.
"I don't go by that anymore, my name is Kim, and how the hell did you know that?"
"I told you a vision, and Raven, why did you change your name? What are you hiding from?"
"I'm hiding from nothing, listen, you don't know me, or anything about me, so leave me alone."
"No." was Angel's simple reply, but Kim was already out of the back room. He simply walked to the place he had been earlier, near the door, and watched Kim. She was with her friends, laughing and talking, and then she was pulled onto the dance floor with them. They all started dancing to the punk rock band now on stage. He stood there, patiently waiting until they all left through another door. He walked out the door he had come in through, and walked out into the chilly night.
Kim was walking down a alley, alone heading back to the old abandoned apartment she stayed in. It had running water and electricity, so she was happy. All her friends were somewhat jelous she had found that place before them, so she shared it whenever someone had no where to go. There may be a lot of holes in the walls, cockroaches, and rats, but it was after all better than the street. All of a sudden she heard someone's voice, and saw someone standing in front of her. She screamed, startled.
"Hello again." Angel said, standing in front of the young girl. She jumped slightly and and screamed. But when she saw who it was, she rolled her eyes.
"What do you want, I told you to leave me alone, are you deaf?"
Angel shrugged.
"No, actually just the opposite, I have really good hearing."
Kim looked at him crossly.
"Well that's good for you, now move."
"Na, don't feel like it." Angel looked at her, and smirked.
"I don't think this is funny, what are you? Some demented stalker?"
"No actually, I'm a vampire with a soul."
Kim stared at him.
"Your what? And you just come right out and say it? You don't seem like the type of per-, uh, vampire to do that."
Angel looked at her seriously.
"Well, I want you to be able to trust me, and you said you already know about vampires, you would have found out sooner or later anyway, if it had been later and I didn't tell you, then you'd probably get scared." Angel explained.
"Ok well thanks for your honesty, but I need to get home, and if I have to I swear to god I'll scream."
"I'd have your mouth covered before you could even open it." Angel said slightly threatening.
Kim blinked, but wasn't to detirred.
"Just get out of my way."
Kim all of a sudden dashed past him, but before she could get another step away, he spun around and grabbed her arm. Kim turned around, quickly looked at her arm and up to his face.
"Let me go."
She tugged on her arm as hard as she could, but Angel still had a firm grip.
"Go to hell." She hissed.
"I've already done that." As he said this, Angel picked her up and put her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Kim immediatly went crazy, and he put her down, but still held her arm.
"Guess that's not going to work." He thought out loud.
"Guess not." Kim spat.
"Let me go."
Without warning, Kim kicked him in the groin before he had time to react. He immediatly fell to the floor, holding his you know what. She grabbed her bag from the ground, and looked down at Angel who was kneeling on the ground in pain.
"I don't care what you are, vampire or human, you're still a guy, and that always hurts. I may not be the strongest, but I do know a few things. Now stay away from me."
With that, she turned her heel and walked out of the alley.
~*~
After a few minutes, Kim reached her 'home'. She walked in and switched on the light, closing the chipped door. The room smelled faintly like rotten eggs, and there were cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. She walked into a small room, and turned on another light, revealing more white chipped walls and a torn dirty matress on the floor. A old broken dresser with a cracked mirror stood against another side of the wall. It had taken a week of searching through dumps to find it, and then a whole day to get it into the apartment, but she had her friends helping her, so it was a lot easier. She threw her bag onto the matress, and slipped off her shoes. She stood in front of the mirror and lifted her shirt up, revealing the bruise. It was still throbbing. 'Damn him' she thought. She hated him, blamed him for everything, but she also blamed herself. If only she had been there, then she would still be alive. The bruise, permanant they had said, internal injuries, only surgery could fix it, and he did this, and caused her to have to live like this. 'Damn him to hell! ' She thought.
After a few minutes, Angel got up, and was fine. 'I wasn't expecting that.' He thought, 'and that hurt.' He walked out of the alley, quickly caught her scent, and followed it. He walked about two blocks before coming up to a old apartment building. Her scent was stronger, still following it, he walked into the building.
Ok that was chapter three, hope you enjoyed it, I'll post more soon. Thanks again, bye for now!
