Sabrina: Chapter 4 yes! I'm so proud of myself! Only, I'm afraid I might have trouble with this one because I'm fresh outta ideas… Cross your fingers and hope for the best.
…………
I awoke to the sun hitting my face. I looked to see myself snuggled against Abel as if I was a teddy bear.
I think he thought I was a teddy bear because I tried to wiggle myself out but to no progress. I was trapped in the claws of the sleepy Priest. I wagged my tail though, thinking about last night. And one thought kept coming back.
'Had really meant what he said about spending years saving people?' Abel seemed Human to me enough, why did I feel so strange around him sometimes. He wasn't a vampire, definitely not. So what was this priest… what is he?
I attempted to wiggle out again, but again… no luck. An idea struck my mind. I lifted my tail up to his nose, and began to move it back and forth, tickling My masters nose. I got the result I needed… but it didn't turn out too pretty…
"ACHOOOOOO!" He flew back off the bed releasing me in the process. Of course he hit his head on the floor, and of course I felt bad.
"Master! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to…"
"Its ok Angel. I'm fine, Like I said, I'm always hurting myself." He gave me a reassuring smile.
"Ok. That's good. But I'm worried about your head master…"
"What's with the honorific 'Master' title?" He looked to me still smiling.
"Well, you did agree to it last night, so, I should call you master." I said as a 'matter of factly'
He laughed , sat up, and slid my upper body to his lap, as he began to pet my back, making my ears and tail calm down and relax. "Well, it doesn't mean you cant call me Abel. You were once human Angel, you at least have the right to use humans first names." He gave me a warm smile and slid me off his lap.
"Of course Mas- I mean Abel." If it weren't for my black fur and wolfish form, you would probably see a blush.
…………
After Abel was dressed (I didn't watch!) we promptly headed to Caterina's office. Abel then pulled out a list of things… all of which involved something to with me.
"Dog bed, food, vest…" Caterina rubbed her temples and I sweat-dropped.
"Vest?" Me and her said in unison.
"She might get cold!"
"Abel, I have an inch of thick, sun absorbing black fur. I think I'll be fine." I sighed and padded my feet over to Caterina. "Your eminence?"
"Yes Angel what is it?" She asked, still a little annoyed with Abel.
"Can I be Abel's partner?" She looked at me in shock and pointed over to Abel.
"You want to work with him?" He was now struggling with the long list, attempting to fold it up, but with no success. I laughed and nodded. She sighed. "Abel, if there is one scratch on this wolf girl, your in trouble."
"Yes your eminence! I promise, we'll be good! We'll be good!"
"So, I'm giving you money to head into town," Caterina stated as she reached for the envelope.
"YES!" Abel jumped into the air.
"BUT YOU CAN'T BUY CANDY!"
"Awe man…" Abel pouted and I laughed. He really does remind me of a kid. His childish grin, his behavior. Though I cant help but feel something strange about him, something otherworldly…
"ANGEL!" Adrian boy screeched running to me. "H-HE TRIED TO SHOOT ME!"
"What wrong Adrian?" Caterina asked Adrian boy with a concerned look on her face.
"I-I guess he didn't know who I was, s-so Tres shot at me…"
"Tres? The android?" I knew him from the day before, after feeling his robotic presence.
"YEAH!" At that moment, Tres barged into the room, guns cocked, and red eye flaring.
"Target unidentified. Subject to termination." His icy robotic voice called out.
"Tres! NO! He's no threat! He's staying here for awhile! Don't kill him!" The android put away his guns at the sound of the Cardinals voice. I sighed in relief at this, and me and Abel slumped to the floor.
"Oh thank heavens…" Abel sighed out as my tail wagged and my ears perked up.
"Urr… Glad to see you Tres, how've ya been since yesterday?" I got no response. "Great so then we'll see you later… C'MON MASTER!" I grabbed Abel's collar with my teeth and dragged him out.
"NO! WAIT DON'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH THE PROFESSOR! IM GOING TO EXPLODE AGAIN! ANGGEEEELLL!"
………
I sighed as we walked the streets attempting to locate our destination. Abel yawned.
"How far is this pet store from the Vatican?"
"Well since were walking, 20 minutes tops…"
"20 MINUTES! HOLY PUDDING-PACKS!" I yelled exasperatedly.
"Excuse me?" Abel had an eyebrow raised. Great. Now he thought I was weird.
"I used to say it all the time before I was like this…"
"Oh! Well its very cute." He grinned and ruffled my head fur.
"Umm, Thank you. Now the place should be right down this street here… as Caterina said of course, I hope we're not lost."
"We're not, don't worry, oh there it is!" Abel pointed to the shop as we headed inside.
…………
Oh hello Abel! I haven't seen you since you brought in that stray cat." The shop keeper smiled widely at Abel, and came to the front.
"Cat?" I said looking at him with an evil glare. I really do HATE cats.
"Yes… But don't worry, I found it a nice home afterwards… don't forget, I couldn't TALK to that cat." He made a sweet smile and patted my head. I wanted to scream a 'HOOHA!' but the shopkeeper probably would have wet himself.
"Ok so you want her tag made up?"
"Yes. And I need a dog bed, food, and a dog vest."
"Vest?" The keeper said. I seriously wanted to bite Abel in the butt, but restrained myself from doing so.
"Yeaup! I want my little fluffy-angel to be warm through the winter!" He ruffled me again. 'Master, you're walking on thin ice now…' I thought as I gave him an evil glare. He flinched back, and returned to the keeper.
"Ok, Name?"
"Angel Whitewater." He said very excitedly, and with great emphasis.
"You gave her a last name?… Forget it, none of my business." The keeper laughed and returned to asking information. Soon the tag had this information:
Angel Whitewater
AX AngelCry
Vatican
And that was all it needed. Once the collar was done, Abel promptly slipped it back on my head. And I looked at the tag with honor and vanity. The sun glared off it, making it shine with pride.
Abel then picked out a Yellow dog bed with blue trimming, bought some weird dog food (I didn't like.) And then he bought me… A vest. A White dogs vest with blue trimming, similar to the Nun's Habit. 'Oh well, at least its not pink.' I thought as Abel paid and we headed back to the door.
…………
So…
I started, noticing the walk home was a little too quiet.
"So…What?" He said back looking down at me questioningly.
"Nothing, just wanted to start a conversation." I looked at all the sights and people we passed. I took in the scent of the new spring flowers and the slight tinge of cold to the breeze.
"RACE YOU TO THE VATICAN!" He yelled before I could realize. He was running with the bags of items we just bought.
"NO FAIR YOU FIXED IT!"
"NO, YOU WERENT PAYING ATTENTION!" Of course within a minute I was 20 feet ahead of him. 'Thank god for my wolf speed.' I grinned as I thought.
When we finally reached the door, Abel collapsed.
"Your… too… fast…" he said between breaths.
"And your too slow, we gotta work on that master." I giggled and trotted my way inside.
"ABEL! WHY CANT YOU CALL ME BY MY NAME!?"
"I'm sorry, what was that master?" I giggled more as I trotted away from the fallen Abel, bags hanging out of my mouth.
…………
(A/N: The song she's is about to sing is At the beginning from Anastasia )
I sat in Abel's room for a while before dinner, thinking over the day. My tail wagging happily at every good memory. Most of them involved my recent friend and master Abel. 'Abel… What an amazing person. I really do wish I was human, then maybe we could dance. Well, maybe we could sing, I could sing now but… I don't think I sound very good. Maybe since no ones around…' I thought and then began to sing to myself…
"We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you-
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start-."
I heard footsteps near the door, but decided to ignore them…
"And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you-."
The presence now standing outside of the door I took no notice of…
"We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you-
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you-."
The door opened, and I didn't hear, nor see…
"I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart-
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you-"
Near the end of my song I was approached but didn't realize it.
"In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you."
I was then embraced by a sobbing Abel. My ears pushed back, and I desperately whimpered. I couldn't hold him back…
"What's wrong Abel?"
There was a pause for at least a minute, when Abel's sob was un-silenced from the fur of my neck.
"How are you so strong Angel? How do you, hold so much in…" His head was down, tears falling to the floor.
"I don't Abel, I let it out, that's what I've always done. But now…" I began to cry myself, "Since I came here… I'm happy. " We stood there for what seemed like hours which was actually only a few minutes.
"Angel… there's s-something I want to tell you…"
"I'm crying, but I'm listening, go on." I smiled as the tears wetted the fur on my face lightly.
"I-I'm not Human, Angel. Did you realize that?"
I sighed and looked down, "Yes I've noticed things, but I wasn't brave enough to ask you…"
"Do you know what I am Angel?" his sobs became louder.
"N-no…"
"I-I'm… a monster." Abel dug his face deeper into my fur.
"Don't say things like that Abel, your not…"
"I'm a Crusnik. I'm a vampire that lives off vampires blood… how can you not call me…"
I couldn't take it anymore. Abel, was sitting here crying, putting himself down. The sympathy left me, and anger replaced…
I bit him hard in the shoulder. He yelped and pulled back to look at the now torn robe.
"I'm sorry Abel. But I had to do it. Your not a monster. A true monster Is like the person who made me immortal. A true monster is the ones that harm people for there own pleasure… You, are none of those things. You're an amazing person who can do amazing things, and you help people, I probably wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you…"
"But, sometimes I hurt helpless vampires, and i…"
"THAT'S JUST YOUR NATURE! Its your natural instinct. It has nothing to do with feelings or emotions… Abel…"
"Yes…" he looked at me, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"I have yet to see your Crusnik form but I know what you are…
You are no monster…
You are an Angel… My angel."
Happy tears replaced the sad, and we sobbed together, not realizing that we had missed our meal. We just sat there, till our eyes became heavy from crying and we fell asleep there. Me, I was smiling, my tail wagging, my ears slit back with comfort.
I was in my Guardian Angel's arms.
