Okay, even though I needed three reviews two is enough so here's the next chap along with another one. Hope you like it.
CHAPTER FOUR:
" Are we really going to go to a bar?" Angela asked as the two of them were on the road.
" Yeah, and it's no ordinary bar. You're going to see wings and a hell of a lot of demons." Constantine replied," Now look Midnite's a sorcerer with some sort of telekinetic powers. He's almost like you except for one detail."
" And that would be?"
" He's also was a demon excorcist that worked with my friends and me."
" Was?"
" He took the oath of nueterality but he's helped me several times because demons and angels have broken the rules and abducting one of God's angels is definitely breaking a major rule."
" And what would that be?"
" No affiliation with the other side. Angels can't kill demons and demons can't kill angels much less abduct the other side." Constantine explained," Turn left. The bar's right there."
He pointed to a place at the corner of a street and she nodded and parked a block away. The two of them walked together.
" Anything else I need to know?"
" Yeah, never leave my sight. This is a haven for those who rise and those who fall. And they're trying to bring a hell of a lot of innocents to their side."
" Ah, the influence peddlers,right?"
He smiled as he pushed the doors open," That's right.
The two of them walked down the stairs and toward a guard that held up a card.
" Two ducks in a cloud." Constantine said and the man let him through.
Angela slipped his hand into his as the lighting for the bar became red and music blasted through the halls. Something about the place gave a bad vibe to her and was starting to scare her.
" It's alright." Constantine whispered and she gave a nod.
As they reached the main room the music was on full blast now and Constantine was trying to navigate his way through the room. She caught several people staring daggers at her mostly angel women and some demon women. As they passed a man, a demon, grabbed her free arm.
" Now what's a pretty girl like you doing here?" he asked.
Constantine having stopped mid-way turned and punched the demon in the face," She's with me, asshole."
The demon turned and flashed a smile at Angela and stared daggers at Constantine. The two of them moved on.
" That's why, I want you to never leave my sight." he shouted but in the music it sounded like a whisper. They continued to walk through the crowd until they came to doors at the end of the room.
Constantine pushed through the doors and the two entered to see that a man sat at a round table. His skin was dark and do was his personality as she sensed.
" Hello, Midnite." Constantine greeted.
" Hello, John. Long time no see." Midnite said returning the greeting.
" Tell me about it." John muttered.
" And is this the girl?" Midnite asked.
" Yeah-" Constantine started before he was interrupted.
" I thought you said it wasn't about the girl." Midnite said.
" I said it definitely mostly was not about the girl.'' Constantine replied defending himself.
Angela stared at him but Midnite stood and inclined his head slightly to her," Good evening, Seer. I've heard a lot about you."
" Good evening, Midnite." she replied and raised an eyebrow at Constantine," That's funny because I've never heard of you."
" Well that's just like John to leave out-"
" Alright, alright." Constantine said," Look, Midnite we need help. The silver winged angel-"
" Jaina?" the sorceror asked.
That got a stare from the two of them.
" You already know her?" Angela asked.
" She's a regular here. I've taught her several of the fighting techniques she knows. Her and Chas because they were forbidden to go to you until the time was right." Midnite replied and pointed at Constantine with the last bit.
Constantine stared," Who forbade them?"
" Who else has the power to forbid the angels from going to help an excorcist as they are meant to do?"
" Alright, that was rhetorical."
" Didn't sound like it."
" Look, demons took Jaina."
Midnite stared at him alarmed," What? How?! Demons cannot touch her because she's protected by divinity because of what she is. You do know what she is?"
" Half demon and angel basically a half-half breed." John said.
" Not at all Constantine. She's a full blooded angel and demon. Because the rules only forbade full blooded angels and full blooded demons. It couldn't prevent her since she was part of both in one person. She cannot be touched by demons. Not even angels can catch her."
" Well, then someone caught her because she's in the Underworld." John said.
Midnite stared," That's what changes things. You see angels lose all power unless taken through their own portal to the Underworld. If she was abducted I doubt they took her through the angel portal."
" There's something else." Angela added and got a stare from Midnite," Chas went after her."
" That rash hearted young fool."
Angela knew what he meant but she turned to Constantine.
" That's his way of saying," What a dumbass." " Constantine replied with a joke in his voice.
Midnite smiled," I heard that smartass.''
That got a smile from Angela before the seriousness in the air returned.
" Look, he gave one look at the painting and jumped out the window."
" Well, it wouldn't be stange since he is her protector."
" What? Chas protecting her?" Constantine asked.
" That's was my same reaction and exact same words." Midnite laughed," Look, if they took her to the Underworld and rash hearted Chas went after her then you'll have to take the portal in the back."
" That's what we came here for." Angela smiled.
Midnite gave a she's-really-smart kind of look before he led them through some secret passage.
" I had the wall removed because the paint was starting to glow so I tore down the wall and made a wall in the room." Midnite explained and led them to the certain area.
There was a large circle imprinted in the wall with all sort of intricate drawings inside and a star in the midst of all of it.
" Never saw this." Constantine commented.
" Told you. Just put in. Now I need your power John. Yours too Angela." Midnite said.
Angela stared," I don't really know how to use my powers."
" You don't always know. But once certain powers are activated around you, your body and ability will activate." Midnite explained and then turned to John," What's the explanation for you?"
" Don't have any powers except muttering incantations."
" That will have to do."
That was when a wind blew through the room when no windows were not open. Symbols around the circle glowed and Constantine read them aloud. Midnite seemed to muttering something, too. And Angela's hands began to glow.
" John! Midnite!" she shouted.
The two turned to her.
" John, don't make a move." Midnite instructed as John stayed and kept with the incantation.
" Guys!" Angela shouted.
" Relax!" Midnite yelled as the wind started to pick up," Just let the powers flow."
Angela closed her eyes and felt the wind blow strongly in her face. She felt like she was falling. She tried to scream but no voice came out. She opened her eyes. The cave was some sort of bronze colored walls like in the painting in the book. She stared at the hall and saw it-
" The staircase." she muttered.
She looked around for John but he was nowhere to be found. If she was to call out, she'd be caught and might end up the victim to demons. The eerie sounds from the place didn't stop as she went on. There were howls in the cave and in the halls and alone she walked through, but occasionally turning after a pause thinking she heard footsteps following her. She finally got to a ground level where there was barely any light unlike the passageway she just went through which was lit by torchlight.
" Chas? Jaina?" she whispered and her voice echoed in the room.
Suddenly she heard a voice.
" Angela?" came a girl's voice.
" Jaina, is that you?"
" Yes, get out of here." she whispered as Angela found the girl's silhoutte.
She ran to her side and placed a hand on the silver wings. There was something that oozed through her fingers and in the scanty light the liquid was crimson red.
" Jaina, what happened?"
" It's-" the girl gasped," It's a trap!"
Sorry guys no Chas but he's in the next. Review and read on please.
