Angel of Darkness
Chapter 1
"Beep Beep Beep" A pink alarm clock went off flashing the numbers 7:40 am. The beeping then stopped as an arm reached out and slapped down on it making the annoying noise shut-up. A sleepy muffled moan then escaped from under the fluffy black confider with green veins and pink flowers on it.
A young girl just then came out from under and went out into a small, ugly bathroom that had some missing tiles on the wall. She had a shower, got ready for school, and then grabbed a piece of toast and a glass of orange juice. "God, I'm tired." She said to herself as she looked back at the clock and all most choked on her drink. "Oh my god, I'm going to be late!"
With that she ran out of her beaten-up apartment well, placing her baseball cap on backwards. Then took off running down the busy streets of down town Tomoeda.
As she ran down the streets she checked her watch to see it turn on to 8:03 am. 'Shit I'm late again…' She cursed as she turned down another street and then down an ally way and into an old, rusty back door.
"You're late!" A male's voice hollered, 'Oh, great. Just great…' She signed.
"Yea, yea. Sorry, woke-up late." He growled, "You always wake-up late." She shoot him a death glare, as she walked up to his desk, waiting for him to give her, her packages. "There. Oh," He said after he gave me my packages, and reached down under the desk and brought up 2 more packs and then went into the back and brought out 5 more. "You are going to be doing Miss Deska's delivers too, with yours. For she isn't with us anymore, so you have to do her delivers until we get someone else."
She eyes widen, "WHAT!! Why me? Why can't someone else do it?" "Because one; you are the closest to her root, and two; 'cause this is your punishment for being late." He said keeping his 'I hate all you stupid kids' look on, as he pushed up he's glasses.
She growled and muttered "Four eyes is trying to keep his cool again. I wonder if he ever passed he's exam for this thing? Nah…Doubt it."
"I HEARD THAT AVALON!" He yelled in anger, as she opened up her locker took out some things and then gathered up her packages and Deska's packages, then took off out of the old place to go do some delivers.
As she rode down the long street and crossed onto another one she turned on her MP3, just to hear one of her favourite songs blast in her ears-Missing by Evanescence.
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
As it keep going she started to sing in a low voice, not even noticing what she was doing.
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Chorus:
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Chorus
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Chorus
The song then just ended right on time, as she stopped her bike and looked up at the apartment. "Ok, just do Deska's first then go do yours." She thought out loud to herself. "Then by the time you are finished it would be around 3.pm."
With that she got off her bike and walked into the apartment building. Once done, she delivered the others on the time they where supposed to be delivered and was done by 3. But to her not knowing, she was going to have a bigger job once she got back.
Back at the Post
"So you won't a job, huh?" The manager said, as he pushed up he's glasses and looked at the guy in front of him. "You don't really look like the type to be working here…but if you won't to then sure be my guest. You can have Miss Deska's job."
"When do I start?" "You can start tomorrow. I already had someone do miss Deska's root today and she should be back hear any minute. So she can help you out Mr…?" He asked pushing up he's glasses again as they fall onto he's nose again.
The man in front of him was tall and well-built. But didn't look like a person to work with delivers. He smirked, "Li. Li Syaoran."
"Well, Mr. Li she should be here any moment-" He was cut short as a bike rolled down the ramp and stopped by the wall. The rider got off and started to walk away without talking to anyone. "Miss Avalon!" He said but failed as she kept on walking. 'Why do I even brother with her. She never listens. sign I should just firer her, but she is the best here. Kami…' He took a deep breath. "AVALON!!!"
Miss Avalon's POV
I got off my bike as I stormed into the post not even noticing a new face in the crowd. I felt lots of people's eyes on me, but I knew they wouldn't say anything because 'mostly' everyone was scared of me hear at the post.
As I walked I didn't hear anyone call for me. 'Cause I was listening to music-Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence-and plus, I was ignoring everyone in the post.
Until "Avalon!!! Avalon!! Grr… AVALON!!!" I stopped, turned around and saw four-eyes all red with steam coming for his ears. I raised an eyebrow, and pull out the earphones.
Normal POV
She raised an eyebrow at him and took out her headphones. "What?" She growled simply as if nothing happened, her emerald as cold as ice.
"Get over here, NOW!" He demanded, really pissed of because she already was on his nervous this morning and know was only making things worse, she thought as she walked over and leaned ageist his desk just then noticing the unfamiliar guy next to her. She looked him up and down with confusion written' all over her face then looked towards Mr. Senai-Four eyes.
'Please, no. Please. Kami, I need some help hear. 'Cause I know what he wants, so please Kami help…' "Miss Avalon, I wont you to show Mr. Li hear around the place. Also show him the ropes and his root." 'Kami, thanks alot for your help. WAIT!!! LI? Li?? Oh my god' Her eyes widened as she looked up at the well-built man with messy chestnut hair, unemotional amber eyes, blue pants, a black muscle shirt, and a black leather jacket.
She then just opened her mouth to say 'No', but Mr. Senai bet her to it. "And I'm not taking a no for an answer, Avalon, this is a order." And with that she sent him a death glared-which would have someone drop dead on the floor if glares could kill-and then walked away keeping her unemotional form up.
She turned down the two rows of lockers and opened hers. She placed some of her things in there then took out her brown book bag.
"Damit." She cursed as she slammed shut the locker door and felt 'his' presences. "What do you wont, Li?" She growled as she turned around and came face-to-face with the one and only Li, Syaoran.
He didn't more, "Well, you are supposed to show me around." "Yeah, like I really care." She muttered as she walked past him towards her bike as will as placing her backpack on over her head. (One of those side book bags)
She stopped and turned. "If you're coming then hurry-up, would you? I'm not going to wait forever." She said as she hoped onto her bike and waited.
And in the time limit of 1 minute he was ready and they took off. Avalon showing him his root, showing him some sort cuts, telling him the rules which where really simple.
1: Don't get the manager-Mr. Senai-or so called Four eyes by Miss Avalon who ALWAYS disobeys that rule.
2: No eating on the job. Which everyone disobeys.
And 3: No one and I mean NO ONE GOES INTO MR. SENAI'S OFFICE.
Everything like that…
"So that's all?" "Yea. Why you thought you didn't have to get your hands so much dirty, Li?" He smirked, "No not that, I just thought there would at least be some guide or something."
She raised an eyebrow. "A guide. This isn't some fancy tour guide were working here, Li, we deliver packages and letters to people. Not guide." And with that she took off down the road and disappeared in the distance.
"What is her problem?" Li said as he road off in the other direction.
The next day was great. The sun was out, the cool breeze blew gently across the sky making flower blossom pedals and leaves dance with the warm wind, and the birds sang happily. Everything was quite and peaceful… "KURA!!!!!"
Avalon's eyes widened in shock, but then turned cold as she turned around only to get tackled down to the ground by her so called 'Friend'
"What do you wont?" She growled as she shoved her off and got up. The girl pouted and got up. "Kura-chan you are so mean. I came here to work and to see you!" She squealed and Avalon or so called Kura covered her ears. "God you are SO loud." With that she walked off only to bump into…Syaoran. Kura groaned, "Kami, this is going to be one long day."
Hey, back again. Chapter 1 is complete and chapter 2 is on its way. RxR
