Read and Review everyone…

This was wrong; every fiber of my being knew this was wrong. I wanted to flee, to run away from all of this, but Scott wouldn't let me. As I fuss around, behind Daniel.

Daniel led the way towards Dabria's office, we were at a worn out apartment complex, its red brick walls showing its old age, as the dark hallways grew dimmer and dimmer, away from the shinning sunlight of Monday. All I thought was ' I can't believe I'm skipping School for this..'

'will you stop it Nora…we're here to see Dabria, remember?' Scott said in my head, this was hard, cause every conversation we had was heard by Daniel, and he mustn't know of our motive of this visit. After all, fallen angels were stronger than us, if Daniel would find out that we were here on Michael's orders, he wouldn't hesitate on telling Dabria, even if he's dating my best friend, and Dabria wouldn't hesitate on hunting us down either.

My heart was pounding, as I fish my pockets for my iron pills. given my clumsiness, I suddenly trip on a lump from the stoned floors, as Scott caught me in his arms. I felt my heart skittered, and cheeks grow warm.

His touch was unbearable, it was honey on tea. Simply too bitter sweet for my life, as I felt his warm breath tickled the nape of my neck. I heard him whisper

"relax sweetheart, you're going to be just fine."

I felt his arms loosen me as I righted myself, his hand making its way towards the hand I still had in my pockets, as he held his hand with mine and grabbing a hold of my iron pills.

My breath hitch at the contact we had, as I felt sudden butterflies at the pit of my stomach. Making me forget everything, everything but his warm embrace around me and his lips inches closer to my neck, I could feel his breath there was my body grew warmer, my skin growing sensitive.

Before I could say anything, he swiftly let go of me, gave me my pills and slip the bottle at the pockets of his jacket. "Keep moving, we're losing Daniel."

As I found myself trying to catch up with Daniel, who didn't seem to care if we were lost, as I regained my position, following behind him, watching his hair, bouncing from each step he took.

Then he suddenly came to a halt and cleared his throat, turned towards my direction, giving me a cheeky smile.

"This is as far as I take you, knock on the door when you're ready...your sure she knows your coming? She never told me anything from the past few days."

I smiled at him shyly and nodded " yeah, uhmm… Jev, made the appointments, if I am correct I think he'd be catching up with us in awhile…" I sounded more convincing than I thought, I had been running that lie at the back of my head for almost three hours, but I was still unsure of this task we were doing, as my hands trembled from my nervousness, I could feel my palms starting to sweat.

Daniel just nodded at us, frowning a little as we said our good bye. Our shoulders brushing as he made his leave and whispered in my mind ' make sure you know what you are doing Nora..I don't know what you're up too..but I don't think Jev is going to approve of this..'

Before I could come up with a good retort to his statement, he was gone.

"Well, that was interesting. You think he knows?" was all what Scoot said before going for the door knob.

"What do you think you are doing? He said to knock first"

" ahh…Nora, in case you don't remember, she isn't here.."

"sshhhh…someone might hear you…"

Scott just look oddly at me and shook his head, "you'll never learn will you? That heart of yours is pure innocence.." He gave a smirk and came closer towards me till or noses touch " I bet everything about you is innocent.." as he leaned forward our lips almost touching, I simply didn't know what to do, his breath was mesmerizing, the smell of mint candy.

Before I could even hesitate, deny him, I felt his warm lips touching mine, as I closed my eyes and leaned further into our kiss. Molding his lips to mine, feeling all desire, as our lips locked into a passionate kiss.

I intertwined my fingers at the nape of his neck, as his fingers slowly travel around my waist. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think, because all that was in my head,was this is incredible.

As I tried to deepen our kiss even more, I heard a distant sound, I opened my eyes, and before I knew what I was doing, I gasp in shock, my eyes growing wide as I pushed Scott away from me, feeling anger making their way .

"What the Hell..Parnell?"

"Oh..now you noticed? I thought we were doing quite fine…you liked it Nora, don't tell me you don't, because if you didn't you wouldn't have kissed me back!"

It was true, I did like it, because for once. It didn't feel awkward, he could feel what I did, physically feel me, and it made me realize how much I just betrayed Jev.

Because I wanted it.

I just stared at Scott, as I fought back tears, the same sound made itself known again, it was close, and it sounded like a cat's purr. I looked passed Scott, ignoring his death glare at me. I saw a cat, the creepiest cat I've ever seen. It wasn't ordinary, because the cat was the side of a dog, it was dark grey and had white eyes, blank white eyes, it stare right at me, as I took a step backwards, pointing at the cat.

"Sco….oooo..ott..t….be..hi..hined..y…you"

"Oh' don't give me that crap Nora..you know full well I won't get fooled with that..its just a cat..get over it.."

I just shook my head at him, as I saw him sigh and turned around to see the cat. I saw Scott jump a little and felt him grab my hand, as I stared at the giant cat. Stalking towards us, as Scott quickly opened the door and drag me in with him. He immediately slum the door shut and locked it.

As I just stood there panting; my heart racing from the adrenaline as my held my arms close to my chest

"what was that?"

" a cat…." Was all he said, " now let's get moving..I got a band practice by five…" as if nothing had happen, but I could still hear him panting.

In truth I knew what that cat was, it was a cougar, and I knew it because I met it once. It was one of Dabria pets, and upon first meeting with it, I knew right then and there, he and I would never get along, he tried to eat me then, I don't think it won't now.

The room wasn't much, it was like any other office, a desk at the middle with what looked like a crystal ball in the center of it, and cards laid out, it was like any other fortune tellers office, only it was bigger. As I saw Dabria's picture from behind the desk, staring right at me with piercing eyes.

I just gulp and took a deep breath as I made my way around the table.

" it's in here.."

As Scott followed behind me, "what is?"

"the thing we're looking for..its here.." was all I said as I lifted the painting off the wall and gave it to Scott.

" Here..hold this will you.."

As I looked into the number pads of a giant safe attach to the wall, I pulled out the paper I had in my pocket and red the numbers, typing it on the key pads, as the safe made a hissing sound and opened by itself with a loud click.

And there lay the key Jev wanted, I quickly grab it, closed the safe and returned the picture to its previous position.

"Hey' Check this out..She has piranhas for pets.."

I saw Scott stood beside the aquarium that was at the far side of the room. He was tapping the glass as the fishes tried to grab his fingers through the glass. I gave out a sigh and walk in closer, standing beside him, I looked at the fishes and found myself caught with a very odd sight.

In the aquarium, lay a silver briefcase, I didn't know what gotten in to me, but I wanted it. I felt allured to it, it was as if I was magnet and it was metal, I wanted it in my arms.

"Hey. Scott...do you see that?"

"What?"

"That case in the aquarium? Don't you find it odd that Dabria would leave a case in an aquarium and fill it with piranhas?"

"hmmm…I guess so…" he face me and had a concern look on his face " you want to get it don't you?"

"well…it might be important"

He just sign and stared back at the fishes. Then suddenly he turned towards me and had this weird grin plastered on his face.

"I got it"

" got what?"

" how to get it.."

I just watch him as he walk around the office and came back with an umbrella.

" uhh..I don't think that's such a bright idea"

" what? We can try can't we?.."

"alright..you're the boss.." raising my hands up in surrender

With that said and done, he took the bottle of feeds that was beside the aquarium and fed the fishes, while the evil little fish tales grab their chow, Scott hurriedly deep the umbrella , its handled hook grabbing hold of the silver case and quickly pulled it up.

When the case was at our hands, we made a dash out of the office and drove our way to my house. Wanting to open the contents of the case, as we went on our way, I couldn't help but think about the kiss I just shared with my first in command.

I was conflicted; in my mind I kept telling myself that I love Jev, that he would be back after all of this. But in the end, I feelings would lean towards Scott, because he was the one here right now, but then. He I didn't feel the same way I felt for Jev, and it was making my mind into jumbles of wires.

Who is it Nora…really? Is it the one and only man you ever love? Or is it the one driving you home right now? The one who's fun and full of surprises and would break your heart within a month...or is it the one that loves you all the same, takes you seriously and protects you twenty for seven?

As I ponder in my thoughts, I felt my phone vibrate. I dug in my pockets and read the message.

' waiting for you at home. Your mom texted me that you were alone tonight, thought I could sleepover…did you get what I ask?'

It was a message from Jev, and my heart fluttered at the thought of finally seeing him again. But I still had a problem, as I glanced at Scott.

Should I tell Jev, what happen while he was gone?
