Chapter 17: It's all coming down together

The Tarrytown forest, 2:15

The cold water started filling the car, it was a marsh… Angela opened her eyes with discomfort. What happened a moment ago? She tried to remember… Chaz, or was it really him? Latin words… car crashed, weird character mash up in fast paced dreams coming together at the same time these events take place.

She tried to focused and let her "inner special" energy escaped from her mind and to freely wandered around her body; she closed her eyes and kicked the glass that broke off easily…she swam out, her clothes were wet and weighted a ton….she has to get to John Constantine right away…she touched the mushy ground with her feet and took a moment to realize that she has just escaped a car wreck unharmed, she looked up and …is that normal? Is it possible to survive such an accident? The rain started to pour hard on her…it was a storm and since she was from sunny L.A, this wasn't her thing…she looked at her wristwatch but couldn't figure out the time…she was so messed up because of the lack of sleep, Midnite, John, the dreams… and the eyes of the devil, she would never forget those eyes…

She saw lighting and a couple of seconds later heard a thunder explosion only a couple of hundred yards to her left or was her right? She felt a little dizzy and the nauseating smell of gasoline wasn't helping much….it wasn't an ordinary lighting that she could easily tell…her inner self was telling her so…and that John was that way.

She got up and started running that way.

Liz Sherman haven't been able to concentrated in the whole day, she couldn't get Hellboy and Abe out of her head so she felt like going to her room until she calm down or everything might got on fire…she came inside the bathroom and the towel jus caught on fire…she got the burning towel and shove it inside the toilet…she has to make another excuse to her roommate and possibly go to Wallmart and buy spares…she quickly grabbed a couple of pills and a glass of water, she has to keep her nerves under control…or something very bad would happen.

She threw herself into the bed and closed his eyes for a moment, she remembered that Hellboy told her he would never give up on her…she might as well pay off her emotional debt…so maybe, just maybe move on with her life…she turned the pager on…the distance was 100 milles north…she took a map…it was a town called Tarrytown, doesn't ring a bell and she doesn't have a car…the only thing she knows is that she has to get there on time by any means possible.

Somebody knocked at the door and blue fire started emanating from her hand, she looked around and asked: Who is it?

-It's Matt, you remember the guy that took you to the movies the other day- The kid responded.

-I'm kind of busy Matt and I have to see a friend out of town- Liz replied from behind the door while watching her hand glow blue, every time that part of her became active was pretty difficult for her to control it...she wanted to be the fire…not only the fire starter…

-Ok, I'm sorry to upset you…but you now if you want I can give a lift to the station?- Matt's voice sounded sincere.

-I guess you can, give a couple of minutes- Liz went inside the bathroom…after all he was really cute.

Five minutes later they were on their way to the town of Tarrytown.

H.B. has seen monster come out of grains of salt, saw creatures come together from clay but never in all his years wondering the occult has ever seen a girl toasted away a rouge Angel with just one command…whatever she is, it belongs with them…he moved closer and John was showing signs of recovery.

-How you doing sport? - Hellboy asked John who was looking for something inside the rag that he called his jacket.., and old bible that had a bullet smash against his cover…he had trouble breathing…definitely broken ribs.

-Being better- Constantine answered in almost inaudible voice…he tried to roll over but the girl was on top of him…her skin was cold and yet smoke came out of her body...Can you help me here?

-Sure- H.B got the little girl over his shoulder and with the free hand helped him get up, his legs were shivering but he was strong enough to stand up on his two legs… or proud enough, Hellboy wasn't sure.

-What happened? - Constantine could not remember anything beyond the moment he felt the shots…that happens when you are in a lot of pain.

-I got here just in time to see the girl made an enchantment at your friend- Hellboy did not mention the fact that he got his ass kicked again…this time by an Italian model.

-By friend you are referring to the crazy guy who shot me a couple of times…help me out here- Constantine sarcasm was instant but his life force was diminishing fast.

-Another bullet?- Hellboy asked while watching a whole over John left armpit soaked in blood…

-Yes but it went trough and through…must be waiting for us on the jeep- John was having his worst day ever…

-Lets get to the jeep, it's already dark…- Hellboy began to articulate but someone was getting closer and drew the Samaritan out.

-Do you have room for one more? - The voice was unmistakable…it was Angela.

-Now is official, it the end of the world!- Constantine said while looking at Angela, he tried to smile but quickly fell to the ground…the rain and the wet ground was making very difficult for them to move fast enough to the vehicle…Hellboy sensed something was approaching.

Hellboy tried to help him but Angela caught him off and hold him in her arms….he opened his eyes and muttered: My fair princess…If we get out of here I'll be you flowers!

-I don't picture you as the flower type- Angela was overcome with tenderness…it was all worth it, he need her….but she has to keep him alive.

-Then will move in together, my apartment is not very pretty but it has a lot of space- John was sensing an entity approaching…

-Sorry to break off the romance, but I think we have company- H.B left the girl on the back of the jeep and helped John and Angela inside the vehicle….Angela got in the drivers seat and asked Hellboy…was it that sound?

-A horse….- Hellboy said.

-Not a horse, a headless horseman- Constantine added.

Some monster doesn't know how to stay dead.
