Thanks to anyone who reviewed and read my story. Sorry it took longer than expected to update. I got a little caught up in things. This week is homecoming for my school, so I'm giving you a double shot, two chapters, cause I'm not sure I'm gonna update this week. Depends on how this week goes. I know, I know, it's flipping short. I'm sorry for that, but together the two's word count is about as much as I usually make it. I just have been so incredibly distracted and I've got all these ideas for another story that I'm thinking of putting up. No, it's not a Charmed fic, so don't feel cheated or anything. Anyways, reviews are loved and help me update faster, but like I've said before, you don't have to if you don't wanna.

"The night will come

and rip away

her wings of innocence through every word we say

maybe it's time to spit out the core

of our rotting union hopefully before it chokes

us to our senses."

She had been sent to find a group of humans who had been caught assisting the rebellion. She knew where to find them. He'd had them kept locked up in their building. She sat outside, crouching behind a bush and watching, waiting. For an hour she waited for the right opportunity. Finally, the demons got cocky and shimmered out. She wasn't one to sit around and wait, so she took on her wolf form and ran forward. It would have looked strange, a black wolf with the chocolate brown eyes of a human running through the city, if anyone had of been on the streets.

She jumped with ease through a broken window, landing with a soft thud on the concrete floor. The building used to be a school, before Wyatt had them shut down. She sniffed the air and found her targets. Taking on human form again, she ran quietly through the halls. The room was an old classroom, clear of all desks and other things. The people were huddled at one end of the room, the women speaking soothingly to their children. She shushed them as they spotted her and motioned for them to follow.

Everyone stood, hesitantly following as she led them through the halls, sniffing for demons. Since the rebellion had known about them, she and Chris had been sent to the building, and together they did a spell that created a secret passage under the school. But as she led them through the school, she caught the scent of a demon. Turning around, she came face to face with several. She turned to the nearest woman and whispered to her.

"Find the boiler room. In the back is a trap door. Open it and go down into the tunnel. It will lead you as far away as you want to get." The woman nodded and gathered the others, running down the hall with them. A flick of her wrist sent the demons flying into the wall. One stood, an energy ball ready in its hands. As it came flying at her, she dove out of the way. The next one she sent back at the demon, vanquishing it.

Finally, she stood alone in the hallway. The faint sound of shimmering filled her ears again and she turned around. Her eyes met with a pair of baby blue eyes she had hoped to never see again.

"Swim in the smoke

the hero will drown

intoxicating beauty tears everything down

but still our hands

are bound at the wrists

the romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist

in a sea of fire."
