Demon-in-my-view13

Yo peoples what's up? Sorry it's been so long. But I'm going my best.

SpoonGirl1- Haha. Yes I do love my cliffies. Don't worry Gabriel is 'a comin'! And thank you. I am happy to say that my friends did admit that I didn't do anything and that they were really mad at the other person but took it out on me. So anyway things are better...not the same...but better.

Azira Morrgaine Vida- Yes it is very odd. I will explain why he is blind in this chapter. You read Amelia Atwater Rhodes I'm guessing? Vida as in the Vida line? I like Shattered Mirror but they are all great.

Young Wiccan- Thank you I try. Van Helsing is coming soon..if not this chapter then the next!

Deaths Favorite Toy- Yes a lot of people have been saying that. But one cannot control the heart can one? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ok on with the Story!!!

Wings Of Shadow

Anna stared at Aubrey in disbelief. She moved her finger back and forth in front of Aubrey's eyes. This was the first time she noticed that Aubrey had one ruby colored eye and one cobalt colored one. His pupils did not follow her gestures.

"You don't have to test it. I'm telling the truth." Aubrey said grabbing her hand.

"How did you know I was doing anything? How did you know my hand was there?" Anna questioned.

"First of all, I could hear you and second, sixth sense." Aubrey replied. "Now can I please have my coat?"

Anna pulled her hand out of Aubrey's and picked his long, leather coat up. She put it into his out stretched hands. Aubrey fiddled around with it until he found the pocket. He sat up and shifted so he faced Anna. He knew she was there because of her scent. Anna saw him pull out something that looked like two glass circles attached together with a piece of metal. Then there was two other, longer pieces of metal coming from the outside part of the glass pieces. Anna knew they were glasses but there was something wrong with the glass part. It was black instead of clear.

"What are those?" Anna asked, curious.

"Sun glasses. For people who aren't blind, it protects their eyes from the sun. But I just use them so people don't get skeptical."

"Why would they get skeptical of you?" Anna wondered.

"Well for one, I am always staring into one direction and never move my eyes. Two, if you haven't noticed yet I have one red eye and one blue one. Three everyone stares at me." Aubrey answered, pointing to his right eye which was they red one. Anna just realized that she had been staring at his ruby eye the hole time he was talking. Aubrey put his glasses on and broke Anna's eye contact with him.

"So...what now?" Anna asked looking around. The cave was huge and the water reflected on the walls.

"Well I don't know about you but I'm gonna get some shut eye...no pun intended."

"Pun?"

"Never mind." Aubrey moved over to the bank on the opposite side of the little stream. He folded up his coat and used it as a pillow. Anna lay back but did not close her eyes. She just stared at the top of the cave, waiting for something to happen. But nothing came...

Aubrey opened his eyes to find that he still could not see. He looked over in Anna's direction. He heard her breathing. Small inhales and exhales of air. Soon she wouldn't need to breathe at all. The fact that she still needed to breathe showed that she was a young vampire.

Aubrey whispers, "Anna, are you awake?"

"Yeah"

"Is the sun almost down?"

There was a moment of silence. Aubrey felt the glasses come off his face, and then there was a shuffling sound. Seconds later he felt the glasses being put back on his face. " Yes. It's almost all the way."

Aubrey smiled and took his glasses off. His vision was extremely hazy; he could barely make out Anna's figure even though she was less than two feet away. He stared in her direction for a long time. Little by little he could make out her beautiful face. The sun, he could tell, was down low enough to travel safely. He motioned to Anna that it was time to leave. He got out of the cave and heard Anna coming out behind him.

Anna stood up to find herself a little bit dizzy. She almost fell backwards until she felt Aubrey's arms around her. She felt the coldness coming off his skin. He had saved her from danger many times now. She knew she felt something for him, something keeping him in the warm spot of her dead heart. Him and Gabriel Van He-

"You! Stop!" came a very familiar voice.

Aubrey vaguely saw the figure of a tall person wearing a hat and a short one following after him.

"Anna!" Gabriel and Carl shouted in unison both in shock.

Aubrey, out of age-old reflex, changed into his hybrid form. The sunglasses falling off his face, his oddly colored eyes turning to completely black. He let out a loud roar.

Gabriel held out his hand and Carl passed him the crossbow. He had never seen a creature like this before, but it had been holding onto Anna. ANNA! Anna was supposed to be dead and yet her she was standing in front of him. He would not let this...beast hurt her. Not now that he had finally gotten her back....

Gabriel pressed the trigger and a dozen stakes pierced Aubrey's bare hybrid skin. Aubrey let out a loud roar of pain. He shook himself and the stakes fell out. Even in Aubrey's blindness, Gabriel Van Helsing's scent was hard to miss. He pinpointed where it was coming from and lunged at Gabriel.

Gabriel's eyes widened. His stakes did not work and he had a feeling they weren't going to no matter how many he stuck in this beast. Not only that, but Gabriel would never survive hand-to-hand combat with this thing. Not how he was anyway.

The full moon rose and Aubrey's vision returned fully. Suddenly he wasn't hurling himself at Van Helsing, but a huge black Were Wolf. Aubrey extended his claws and hit Gabriel in the abdomen. The wolf let out a loud growl.

Anna saw Aubrey land behind Van Helsing. Every one of his moves was graceful yet dangerous and deadly. Gabriel had the same blood lust in his eyes that he had when he killed her. She never wanted to see that stare again.

The Werewolf turned on Aubrey and brought a massive paw down for a killing blow. But Aubrey was to fast. He was there and gone in the blink of an eye. He jumped up and landed on Gabriel's back. Aubrey clawed Gabriel, who let a loud roar and charged. Gabriel did a flip and landed on his back, and Aubrey.

Aubrey got up and faced Gabriel. Both of their sides heaved and the snarled at each other. Aubrey was just about to charge Gabriel when Anna came between the both of them with her hands up and out to her sides.

"Stop!" She yelled. "Keep going at this and both of you are going to die before there is a winner!"

Anna, out of instinct walked over to Aubrey. She touched a cut on his hybrid chest. He flinched but did nothing more.

"Are you okay?" She asked him, clearly concerned.

"Fine. Anna, you do realize that that's Gabriel right?" Aubrey asked pointing to the Werewolf.

Anna whipped around to look at Gabriel. He was changing back now. He walked over to her.

"...But...but the curse...?" she stumbled.

"Don't worry. I figured out how to control it. Most of the time anyway...it's just on full moons that I need help controlling it. Where...where have you been? And, who is this?" Gabriel pointed to Aubrey.

"He's...he's my guide. He helped me find you" Anna said touching Gabriel's face.

Aubrey cast a worried glance at the cloud covering the full moon. He knew it was not going to stay there. It moved slowly, slowly, slowly out of the way. Aubrey turned his head to Gabriel and could see he was fighting to keep control.

"Anna back up" Aubrey asked.

Anna looked worriedly at Gabriel and did not budge. Aubrey tried again. "Anna back up, now!"

Gabriel lost his control and was now transforming into a werewolf again. He looked at Anna with a wild bloodlust in his eyes. He raised his paw and was about to slash her but Aubrey, in his hybrid form, rammed into him sending him flying. Anna ran and took cover with Carl as Aubrey and Gabriel launched themselves in battle.

"Don't hurt him!" Anna called out to Aubrey.

Aubrey obeyed her, knowing how much Gabriel meant to her. He played defensive, sending Gabriel flying across the field every now and again.

Anna was impressed with Aubrey. She had never seen him fight before. Gabriel was so much larger than him and yet Aubrey was barely breaking a sweat. His hybrid form was so strong.

Aubrey kept Gabriel on the defensive all night and by the time Gabriel had calmed down, both of their sides were heaving. The moon dipped down and the sun was just about to come up...and no shelter from it could be seen in the field....
