Appearances can be deceiving
As Angela walked out of the bedroom, Constantine caught up with her. He wrapped his arms around her as he nuzzled her neck and smelled her hair, fragrancey; he thought. As he did so, he saw the dried blood through her nighty.
'That looks sore' He whispered; 'Did that god damn demon do that to you?' John asked, not really expecting a reply.
Angela nodded.
'Well be careful out there ok? I'm gonna let you go out since you protested so much. But where the amulet I gave you a while back. For me ok?'
Angela turned around and cuddled him. She was fearful for going out due to that half breed but with the amulet hopefully it shouldn't be a problem. So she thought for now. She wasn't going to tell Constantine about the incident last night because if she did, he'd only get all 'protective' over again and ban her from going out all together.
She quickly got dressed and washed and told John she was going out to get some groceries. He offered to escort her, but she refused.
She made her way down the same path that she got attacked yesterday. Her senses sensed danger, but she was wearing the amulet. She hurried to get to Wal-Mart but while doing so, she smelt sulphur. She turned around and saw a handsome man staring back at her with his dark, deep and deluging brown eyes. She was getting flustered and he stepped closer. He reminded Angela of someone but she just couldn't figure who. Then it clicked. Balthazar.
He walked closer until there was no distance between them.
'Angela…' He talked. No hissing, just plain 'human' talk if to call it.
'Y-yes?' She replied, she wasn't sure whether this was a half demon but he was so…. She didn't know but there was something in this man that appealed to her.
The stranger leaned in for a kiss and kissed her deeply, searching. Angela's eyes forced closed. And while doing so, she got visions. Her eyes flickered, still kissing the man, she dropped her bag and broke the kiss. When she kneeled down to pick it up, the man stood over the top of her. He reached for the amulet and tried to rip it off of her neck. Her mind was swirling and she kept going in and out of consciousness. She screamed but it was muffled when the stranger bent down to put his hand over her mouth.
'Angela!' Was all she heard when she finally broke down and fell down unconscious.
She awoke to see her back in her bed, still wearing the same clothes as before.
'John?' She shouted, and repeated his name over and over again.
He came into the room and hushed her.
'What's the matter?' he asked while sitting next to her.
'I had a bad dream…didn't I?' She asked, not knowing what she went through was actually a dream or reality.
'Angela…this demon. You forgot to tell me a little something about him didn't you' Constantine was now being serious and Angela could see this.
'I'm sorry John but I wanted my independence. I wanted to go out, if I told you you would of kept me in this apartment and I don't want that'
A familiar animal walked into the room.
'Duck! I thought he was lost! He escaped after I left my old apartment' Duck meowed happily and got on the bed to be fussed by Angela.
'Did you get him?' She asked.
'No, he must have followed you here. Quite a clever little cat' John then began stroking him, remembering the convosation they were having.
'Anyway Angela, this Demon was Balthazar regenerated. You can regenerate fully twice, the second time is fatal. You're lucky I followed you. He's dead now Angela, gone.'
Angela raised her eyebrow.
'You followed me? After all what I said!' Angela was beginning to shout.
'For your safety'
Angela thought about the incident and remembered how full on her and the demon was.
Before John left the room, Angela thought it was best to tell him.
'Err, John. I kissed him'
John swiped his head back.
'You did what?' He replied, shocked. He saw the demon standing over her but didn't realise they kissed.
'John, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, I—I just, I just don't know what came over me. I'm in such a state John that I'
She was shutted up by a full on kiss by John. He understood that Balthazar had forced her upon him and it wasn't all Angela's fault.
When he broke the kiss, he winked at Angela and said;
'Save me the rest'
