Demones Y Angels

Part Dos

For once, John Constantine was not dreaming of Hell, Gabriel, a young woman he knew virtually nothing about, or why Lucifer had made him mortal. No, tonight he was having a very pleasant dream about Angela.

Angela however, was not faring so well. Her dreams were vivid with her sister Isabel. Suddenly there was a break in her dream and the body of a young girl was plastered before her. The girl had long blonde hair and wide stormy green-grey eyes. She was wearing a simple white dress with bloodstains and what appeared to be burn marks. She was lying in a pool of blood and there was a demon composed purely of lightning kneeling over her.

"Shit!" Angela cursed as she shot up in her bed. Her cat curled around her and Angela stroked her gently. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she remembered the horrifically violent death. "John..." She whispered as she jumped up and put on a button down shirt and black slacks. Angela drove her vehicle over to John's place, the tears had stopped but tear trails were still evident on her face. She walked slowly up to his apartment and knocked gently on his door.

John stirred as he heard the knocking at his door. Damn! He thought to himself. He got out of bed, slipping on black pajama bottoms over his black silk boxers, tugging his black t-shirt on , and stumbled to the door.

"Hullo?" He asked still in a sleepy daze, but he was snapped out of it as he beheld Angela standing in his doorway, looking very small with tear trails on her face. "Come on in."

Angela walked in, gently cradling her hand against her face. Her eyes closed a flashback of her dream came to her.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked curiously, he'd just seen her but a few hours ago. He was helping her with another case and she had seemed fine when she left.

Angela's eyes were still closed and she tried to shut out the images that flooded before her. She shook slightly and Constantine placed his hand on her shoulder, he asked her cautiously:

"Angela what's wrong?"

"John, I could see her so clearly, it was just like I was there." Angela said quietly.

"What do you mean Angela?" Constantine asked puzzled, she wasn't making a whole hell of a lot of sense.

"There was a murder, if feels older but the body's just going to be found. It was just so vivid, so much blood, why would anyone summon that...thing?" Angela asked herself more than him but he answered anyway.

"Angela, come now, sit down and you can tell me exactly what you saw." John said leading her to the couch to sit down. She was still not use to the Sight he had helped her achieve, it would most likely make her psychic dreams more heightened and able her to see the demons causing the deaths. "Now just take a deep breath and tell me what you saw."

Angela did indeed, she took a couple in fact, they were shaky but she did begin to speak, eyes filled with tears.

"There was a young girl laying on the ground, looked about fifteen, sixteen; She had long blonde hair that was matted with blood and a plain, simple white dress that came just passed her knees. The most beautiful stormy green-grey eyes I have ever seen she had. But, there was a demon standing over her, made entirely of lightning. It looked like it had sent its electricity through her body because there was burn marks on her dress. Afterwards, I felt an overwhelming sense of bone wracking grief, it felt like I wanted to kill myself. God, what's happening to me?" Angela asked herself more than him once again.

"Angela listen to me, there is nothing wrong with you. You're different than all those sheep out there, this is just part of you being special. Now lay down, sleep, I'll be back in a bit, I'll see if I can find out who she was. Call me if anything happens." He said and left the apartment.

I walked into Papa Midnight's office, he was with a client, demonic and I had to fight down an urge to maim and kill, but I waited patiently until he was finished. My hand tightened on my gun as the demon went by, stopping to glance over me hungrily as if he wanted to posses my flesh, once again I had to fight down that urge. I growled low in my throat as a warning, his eyes flashed yellow as if in defiance, mocking me to pull the gun. Quick as lightning the gun was on his forehead my finger tight on the trigger, the slightest squeeze would blow his head off and send him back to Hell.

"Rokar, our business is finished, I high recommend you leave before you do something you regret." Papa Midnight said watching me carefully, he had strict rules about fighting and I didnt' particularly feel like breaking them, but I was a coiled spring ready to attack anything, this was not a social call after all.

Rokar turned and left, finding it more prudent to leave than test my limits. I felt Midnight's eyes on me, I knew he was curious as to my demeanor, but I was highly upset, and past caring.

"Juliana my dear, such a pleasure to see you." His pleasing voice rang out.

"Yeah, I wish I could say the same, love." I said disappointed as I laid a strange coil looking object on his desk.

"What's this?" He was confused, I could tell, and I wasn't too damn happy about the answer I had to give him.

"That's the center of a Karkion!" I yelled at him.

"Karkions? But those haven't been sight for--"

"--Six years, I KNOW! So why in the hell are they here now?" I continue to yell, I couldn't help it the anger was just pouring out of me.

"I had merely heard rumors of their return, nothing else." He said and that infuriated me to no end.

"RUMORS!! Jesus Christ! Why would you not inform me at once!?" I raged.

"I simply did not wish to worry you." He replied placatingly.

"WORRY! YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO WORRY!? MIDNIGHT THEY MURDERED CARLIE!!!" I screamed at him, a thousand different emotions raging through my body at once.

"I know." He said softly, caring eyes upturned at me.

"I MEAN I--" I began but was cut off as he pulled me into his lap so I was straddling him and my red leather pants creaked from the sudden movement.

" I know they killed her Jules, I know. But you've got to calm down and think if you go in there like this you'll be dead in a second." He said as I softened and he brushed a stray brown curl out of my eyes, those same stormy green-grey eyes Carlie bared. " I just don't want anything to happen to you. I love you Juliana." He whispered softly.

"As do I. My big Papa." I chuckled at my own joke and found his lips pressed against mine, which I gladly returned with fervor. I slipped my tongue agains this and his hand grabbed the nape of my neck, kissing me passionately. As my hands wrapped around his nape and I began to give passion of my own into the kiss, I heard the door open and someone cough uncomfortably, I sighed to myself and cursed. "Dammit! Why does this happen every time we kiss?" I turned to look at the man in the door way with contempt. "What in the hell do you want, who in the hell are you?" I asked and heard Midnight chuckled beneath me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Constantine knocked on Papa Midnight's door thrice, he really did not want to be here, but if anyone would know about the demon in Angela's dream it would be Midnight. But after knocking three times and getting no answer he just barged in. Unfortunately he busted Midnight and an extraordinary hot young woman with her tongue down his throat. He coughed uncomfortably and he heard her curse and turn around presumptuously and ask who he was with contempt.

"John Constantine, as if its any of your business." He said in that sarcastic manner he did so well. "Midnight maybe you can send your call girl out so we can talk." John said and before he could form another sentence the barrel of her gun was pointed at his forehead.

"I'm not some bitch" she punctuated this by pressing the gun into his forehead farther. "that you can order around. I banish demons for a living you bitch. And I've been with my love for a year, so don't say that shit about me." She bit out angrily, finger tightening on the trigger minutely.

"Juliana, come here and let John speak." Midnight said attempting to calm the volatile brunette, when she climbed back into his lap he addressed John. "And as for you John. NEVER refer to what is mine that way again, or next time I will let her shoot your ass, and believe me, she will." Midnight warned and beckoned for John to sit.

"Well Angela--"

"The girl again huh?"

"--Angela has had a vision, a dream about the death of a girl, older death, she was about 15. Long blonde hair, eyes exactly like hers, I've actually been dreaming about someone like her but I digress, she had on a white dress that came just passed her knees." John explained.

Juliana completely tensed up in Midnight's embrace, she was trembling and her breath came out in shakey gasps. However, this went unnoticed by Constantine.

"She says there was demon encompassed of pure lightning kneeling by her and there were scortch marks on the dress." John finished.

Juliana ran and locked herself in a room adjacent of the office. Midnight attempted to open the door but to no avail.

"Damn!" He yelled as he walked over and sat on the front of his desk in front of John.

"What was all that about?" John asked confused.

"The young woman you described was her sister, she died three years ago. The demon Angela saw was a Karkion. Back then, Juliana was into devil-worship and witchcraft. She raised the Karkion Keeroge, he is the master of all Karkions. It killed her sister Carlie and she managed to banish it back to Hell. But as a consequence the man who taught her all she knew stabbed her in the back, literally. But she cannot enter Heaven for the life she took and is not damned enough to enter Hell. Sound familiar? She blames herself and kills any demon she can find in repentance, but she fears that Keeroge's trying to achieve manifestation again." Papa Midnight explained.

"Oh sorry didn't know." John said and then his cellphone rang. "Sorry. Hello? Angela what happened? SHIT!! I''ll be there momentarily. DON'T. MOVE." He yelled at seemed to fly out the door.

"What is it?" Papa asked and he thought he heard something like Gargoyles float back to him.
