A/N: Sorry, I haven't updated in a while guys. You all probably have been waiting, and I had minor writers block and I've had to do a bunch of school work. So here is Chapter 16 and I hope you enjoy it.
Blythe POV:
I was listening to Nora cry over the phone. I knew that she was having trouble telling me something, but the fact that it upset my daughter so much. It was quite frightening. She kept repeating that I was going to be so mad at her. She hasn't stopped crying for the past hour.
I've never heard my baby girl cry this hard since Harrison died. She suddenly stopped crying and didn't say a word. She made no kind of sound except for the soft breathing against the mouth piece of her fiancé's phone.
"Nora? Nora, are you alright?" I asked. She was honestly scaring me. She hadn't really made a sound for the past five minutes.
"Mom?" I heard her say very softly.
I pushed a lock of my hair behind my right ear, "Yes, baby?"
She inhaled and then exhaled, "I'm pregnant." She said it so quietly that I barely understood her. I never in my right mind would ever get married to a man like Patch Cipriano, much less get impregnated by him. But, it was my own fault for not doing something about it over three years ago.
I sighed, "How far a long are you?"
I heard Nora gasp over the phone. She hesitated before answering my question, "A little over three or four weeks. You're not mad?"
I placed the phone between my shoulder and head while I cleaned my dishes, "Well, Nora, there's nothing I can really do about it now is it? And I can't exactly be mad at you seeing how I basically did the same thing as you when I was your age."
She sighed, "Well, no. There's nothing you can do. But, there's a difference between you and me. I'm getting married to the baby's father. You didn't get married to my biological father. And I'm glad you didn't. It's a good thing he's dead too."
I took the phone away from my ear. I stared at it thinking about what she just said. Never in my life have I heard my baby girl say that she was happy someone was dead or anything of that nature. In my opinion, this was her spending too much time with Patch.
I let the fact that she just told me that the man I had once loved, she was glad that he was dead. I then changed the topic to her wedding, "Linda, Mrs. Sky and I are half-way done with planning your wedding."
I could feel her smile through the phone, "That's great, mom. Have you heard from Vee? She's still on her Honeymoon and I haven't heard from her. It's been too long."
I sighed, "No, honey, I haven't. Maybe she's having a really good time. You shouldn't worry too much about her. She can take care of herself."
Nora stopped talking for a while until speaking again, "I just can't help but to think something is really wrong."
…
Meanwhile in Paris:
Vee Sky and her new husband, Gavin, were walking down the street from the Eiffel Tower back to their hotel, when a man pulled a gun on the both of them. He spoke in French and wore a mime costume. Gavin held his hands up in surrender, but Vee did no such thing. The man pointed at her with the gun and then up at the sky as if telling her to put her hands up in the air.
Gavin whispered to Vee, "Honey, put your hands in the air."
Vee shook her head, "No way. I will not be pushed around by a mime. I will do no such thing." Vee stepped towards the man and held her hands out in front of her with her palms raised, "Sir? Let us by and I'll do you no harm."
The man pointed angrily at her and gestured to her purse and held his free hand out as if wanting something. Gavin reached into his pocket and retrieved his wallet. He gave it to the mime, "Vee do the same thing. He can't use any of it unless he's in England."
Vee turned towards her husband, "I'm not going to be pushed around by a mime. I was bullied all throughout high school; I'm putting an end to me being bullied."
"I understand that, but do you want to be killed by a mime, Vee?" Gavin all but yelled at Vee.
Vee gasped, forgetting that an armed mime was staring at the two of them. "Why are you getting mad at me for standing up for both of us?"
Gavin grabbed her shoulders, "I love you! I do not want my newly wedded bride die right in front of my eyes. I lost my mother to cancer and almost lost my father. I do not want to lose you."
Vee looked at Gavin and back at the mime. She raised her arms in surrender. However the mime had other plans. The mime grabbed Vee's arm and pulled her away from Gavin. Gavin shot forward in an attempt to retrieve his wife from the mime. The mime raised his gun sluggishly and shot Gavin in the chest.
Vee watched as her husband fell to his knees. Gavin glanced down at his wound and back at Vee and whispered, "I love you."
Vee screamed, "NO!" She resisted against the mime without revealing her true strength. She pulled one of her arms free and touched her necklace, the necklace that Scott gave her.
She whispered, "Scott? Help me. I'm in trouble. Scott…"
…
Scott's POV:
I felt an awful pain in my head and then a female's voice. It sounded very pained and distant. It seemed very similar.
I could only make out a few of the words, "Scott? Help me… Scott…"
I glanced at Patch to see if he heard it, but he was sitting in an arm chair resting his chin on his folded hands like he was waiting in a waiting room for bad news. I attempted to speak back to the voice, but it didn't hear me. It got louder and then did I realize who it was…
I ran out to the balcony and unfurled my wings. I was about to jump when Patch stopped me. "Scott? Where are you going?"
I turned towards him and shrugged, "Honestly, I'll know when I get there. Vee's in trouble."
He looked skeptical, "How do you know? You're not her Guardian."
I sighed in agreement, "I know. But, she has my necklace which she can call upon me when I am needed. She just summoned me for help. I can't ignore a summoning."
Patch nodded in agreement, "Go. I got it covered here."
I nodded in farewell and jumped off the balcony. Now if I was a regular Nephilim I would have not been stupid enough to do this. But since I was an angel, I had no worries at all. The summoning was getting stronger as I neared Paris, France.
It was like a homing beacon. Vee's summoning was very strong in a park near the Eiffel Tower. I dropped down in a group of trees and saw a man lying on the ground and the new angel of death hovering above the man.
The angel pointed past him towards a lamp post where a mime was holding a gun to a blonde woman's head. I realized that the beacon was coming towards her. I willed myself invisible and reached the couple.
I reached the couple and saw to my dismay that Vee as being taken hostage by a mime. If it wasn't very serious, I'd probably be laughing, but it was quite serious. Vee seemed to be struggling and she grabbed the necklace around her neck and screamed my name. Her shout rang in my ears, her summon brought me forth right in front of her from where I was in a blink of an eye.
I spoke to Vee via mindspeak, 'Vee, use your true strength. I am right here, in front of you.'
Her eyes widened and whispered my name, "Scott?"
I nodded and mindspoke, 'I'm here, Vee. I'm here. I won't let you go. Not this time. But I can't lay a hand on this man unless you do something. You are now my charge along with Patch and Nora's baby. You have to at least attempt to save yourself, only then can I intervene.'
Vee nodded and used her full strength to rip her arm away from the mime. As if on instinct she elbowed the mime in the throat and kneed him in the groin. Which I know has got to hurt. Vee seemed to have found her second wind because she then threw the mime into a lamp post and made the post fall over.
I made myself visible and looked at the post and at the mime. I whistled, "Damn, if I didn't know better, I'd say that you were pissed."
She gave me a look, "I am pissed! He shot Gavin!" She then ran over to the body on the ground. The death angel was hovering over the body and gave me a farewell gesture, and nodded to the body, signaling that he was dead.
Vee was at the man's side attempting to wake the man up. I walked over to her placed my palm on her shoulder.
Vee rose to her feet and sniffled, "He's gone," she turned to me; her eyes red with holding in the tears, "He's dead. The sonofabitch killed Gavin." She reached into her purse and reached the French Police. In a matter of 20 minutes, the police and paramedics were at the scene interrogating Vee and asking how the lamp post was broken.
Vee lied her ass off about the lamp post and how the guy ended up at the post. She asked for Gavin's body to be sent to his parents in England. After the paramedics took Gavin away from the scene, Vee fell into my embrace. I held her for what seemed like forever, which I was perfectly okay with.
She whispered into my chest, "Why does everyone I care about have to be ripped away from me?"
I ran my fingers through her hair, "I'm here, Vee. I'm here, and I can't leave unless you order me to. I'm your guardian angel now. You can't get rid of me even if you really wanted to. I love you, Vee Sky."
She nodded and pulled away, "Take me to Nora." I smiled and nodded.
A/N: And ladies and gentlemen, I have finished chapter 16. Took me a while to upload, huh? Well, I guess now you're going to have to wait and see what Chapter 17 will bring.
