Sorry this chapter is short. I've got tons of work to do. I will try to update sooner this time. Thank you my few but beloved readers! Please read and review. If you have any questions ask. I'll answer.
Mephistopheles smiled and said, "Don't worry, she didn't do anything with Blackheart." Audrey could feel her anger subsiding. Mephistopheles took advantage of the small silence by saying, "Blackheart wouldn't let her."
The look on Audrey's face was of shock. He couldn't still love me, she told herself. She thought of something to say to Mephistopheles.
"will you please stop sending them? Now that you know for certain that he will not be interested in any of them?" Mephistopheles chuckled darkly. "Do you want me to quit?" Audrey's demon almost shone through.
"Just don't send any more to my husband." She said it with authority.
"Okay," Mephistopheles started, "You have my word."
Mephistopheles and Audrey both looked up. They both sensed the demons were coming back. Mephistopheles then said, "Well, I must be off." He disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Audrey waited for a moment and the demons reappeared.
She looked at the three of them. "Did you find anything?" she asked. Flame, who was the furthest away from her, nervously shook her head. Audrey fought back a smile. Apparently she had not forgotten about earlier.
Audrey looked at Flusso. He said, "No milady. I have not found anything." Audrey looked to Tierre. He smiled. "Actually milady," he kept the smiled on his face, "I have found a small something." Audrey raised her eyebrows.
"And what may this something be?" Tierre's smile turned into a grin. "I have found a place where the Rider goes often." This time it was Audrey's turn to grin. She looked at Tierre. "Well, that is interesting."
"Where may this place be then?" Audrey asked this with a hint of laughter and doubt in her voice. This can't be this easy, she thought, No it's not going to be easy at all. Tierre, still smiling, said, "It is a bar and grill on the outskirts of town."
"Anything else?"
"I had a very reliable source tell me he goes there every night. But also, every night he leaves at dark. Right after twilight. They say he orders food in the grill area of the resteraunt."
Audrey looked at him all of the sudden and asked, "Is this source still alive?" She knew demons a little too well. Tierre smiled sadly and nodded. She smiled, glad that no one had died, yet. She stopped smiling hoping that no one would die on this mission.
She remembered on Blackheart's mission a lot of people died. She looked at Tierre. "Take me there."
While Mephistopheles is talking to Audrey and afterwards:
Blackheart sat looking at the picture in the book. He had gone to the library to look through some books and find some information. He was waiting for his father to come back also. He was sitting at a table with books around him.
He looked at the picture. It showed an angel and a demon at a fighting stance. He flipped forward a couple of pages. He looked at the picture he now found. This one showed the same angel and demon now hand in hand, a moment of truce.
He shut the book and reached for another one. He thought about him and Audrey. The pictures reminded him of her. He started flipping through this one. He always thought of her as an angel. She was in his eyes.
To him she could be as dangerous as one. The essence of innocence. Blackheart smiled to himself. She had never hurt him though. He hurt her though. His smile disappeared. Agony and pain ripped through his dead heart.
He found another picture. A demon and an angel that were hugging. They were together. The angel would have fallen. He flipped forward again. A new picture. This time it showed a demon and a human. They were hand in hand. A sign of love.
That was exactly like him and Audrey. He was scared for her soul though. He knew if she stayed down here for so long it would be in danger. It could be damned. He knew she was Innocence. Maybe that would save it. He hoped it would.
He shut this one and stood up. He walked to a shelf and pulled the very last book off. He opened it. This book was four years old. He hoped Audrey would never see it. He flipped to right page the first time. He knew exactly what he was looking for.
This was a colorful picture. It showed a demon in human form being married to a human. He looked and smiled at their expressions. They were happy. He closed the book and put it back on the shelf. He walked away.
At least he and Audrey had been happy then.
Thank you for reading! Please review!
