I didn't want to be anywhere near that self-righteous Vampire as I appeared within a courtyard. My neck stung like a son of a bitch as it was torn skin. It was torn but it was healing. At least that much.

I angrily swiped the tears from my eyes and cursed aloud for ending up within yet another courtyard. I sniffled and looked around the darkened area but found no one. I was glad of that because I knew that I would only make a fool out of myself if I cried in front of someone, let alone Mark.

I damned myself for it countless times. Why did I have to cry and, let's use Jay as an example, she would argue and fight back. But with me, I remained silent and took it all until I snapped. And that was no way to go about this but what was I going to do?

I always got hurt and that made me wonder if I was a fucking magnet, attracting no one but shitty people.

I then felt a rush of cool air behind me and I spun around, wide eyed. I didn't want it to be him but boy, was I the lucky one tonight.

"Come back inside, Angie." Mark said deeply.

"No, you self-righteous ass. You… You violated me! And I'm just supposed to be okay with that? I don't think so." I said and turned.

He grabbed my upper arm, his iron grip bruising. I flinched as it only grew tighter. I turned my head and looked up into his eyes as they were black as night.

"Stop being irrational. Now I order you to obey me, woman."

My eyes grew wide and I tried to wretch my arm from his grip, but it wouldn't budge.

"Let go of me!" I cried, suddenly feeling trapped.

He growled, "Never!"

Then Jay suddenly appeared beside me, her eyes sparkling like the stars as her aura was a deep purple. Whenever her eyes began to sparkle, and her aura turned a deep purple, she was angry. She now looked pissed off and who could blame her?

Her body glowed, her touch as hot as fire. She was now considered a wrathful Angel and I couldn't be happier for this interruption. She grabbed Mark's hand and he yelled out as his skin began to burn.

But do you think that would stop the Vampire?

Nope. He grabbed me close, wrapping his arms tightly around me. I grew wide eyed as Jay's sparkling gaze narrowed.

"Shock him, Angel." She said, her voice a pitch higher and tinged with electricity.

Glenn had appeared with her and still looked uneasily around himself. Who could blame him?

"I can't, Jay. I'm not strong enough."

"You can and will. Look into your Angelic side."

I nodded then concentrated. I could feel the unmistakable heat rising from within my soul and throughout my body. When I thought I would give up because I was using a lot of power, Jay put her hand on my arm, giving me the power I needed. She game me the encouragement and the 'umph' I needed.

Mark thought he could withhold me, but it would cost him.

Jay pulled her hand from me and smiled as my eyes began to sparkle like hers.

I grinned as I hiked up the power to one hundred percent…

Mark's body quaked as I continuously shocked him. His large body quaked but he wouldn't let me go. Jay smirked as her eyes changed back to their faded blue color as her skin dimmed to its natural complexion.

Glenn stepped beside her and watched on as I put all of my energy into shocking the hell out of the Vampire king.

"Angie!" He yelled in agony.

His forehead lay atop my head as his arms remained tight around me. I quickly ran out of juice and stopped his punishment as his big body sagged in relief. I looked up at Jay, who nodded once.

"Now you know that you can do this, Angel. If he fucks with you again, give it to him. I am very proud of you."

I smiled weakly as Mark lifted his head and looked at Jay like she was crazy.

"Hey, it comes with the package." She said, buffing her claws.

"Thank you." I said and fainted…

Mark could still feel those unmistakable shocks of electricity throughout his entire body as he paced/flitted about his room. How he had recovered so quickly was because Jay had healed him, much to his surprise. So maybe she didn't hate him as much as he thought but he was still wary of her.

Angie's sister must have brought out the wrathful Angelic side of her, but he refused to let her go. He was afraid that the Angel would have taken his female away from him but then if she had, he would always find Angie, no matter how long it took and where she was.

He would always find her.

What had possessed her to lash out at him so? Could it be because he had fed from her when she clearly told him, in a few choice words but mainly in actions, that she didn't want to be bitten? Then why did she look so… heated?

Her eyes were like two hot liquid orbs of turquoise as they bore into his very being. He felt like he couldn't hid anything from her as he remembered the way she looked at him, so innocent and needy, and that was his ultimate undoing.

Would she still be angry with him for biting her? Then his eyebrows furrowed. He was a Vampire, needing blood to survive. So how could she hate him for doing what came natural?

He sighed and stopped his pacing, running a hand through his unruly hair. Did she despise him for what he was? Was that why she lashed out the way she had? He couldn't help what he did or what he was and if she couldn't see past those facts, accepting him for who he was then nothing would ever change for him.

Suddenly feeling weary beyond his years, he decided to lay down upon his bed, slowly falling into a restless sleep after nothing but tossing and turning…
