Disclaimer: I only own Arianna

Chapter Six:

Morning came; Nuada slowly began to wake from his peaceful slumber. He wanted to sleep more but his body and his mind would not let him. All feeling soon returned and Nuada felt warmth beside him. His eyes slowly opened and the golden orbs looked down and his sleeping angel.

She looked so peaceful it almost broke his heart to have to wake her. Softly he reached out and moved a strand of hair out of her face with his fingertips. Once his fingers brushed up against her soft skin she inhaled deeply and began to awaken. She snuggle her face further into the pillow causing a smile to form on Nuada's face as he placed a kiss upon her shoulder. Arianna smiled happily and her eyes opened. Nuada once again felt himself becoming lost in her soft blue eyes. Gently he caressed her face, "You are so beautiful."

Their lips met and Nuada's arms wrapped around her body pulling her up against his. The kiss slowly deepened and Arianna's fingers found their way into his soft pale locks. As Nuada's lips found the skin of her neck his fingers found her wings. She gasped in pleasure as her back arched off of the bed, but Nuada's weight kept her pinned. She moaned as his lips kissed her neck finding that sweet spot of hers while his fingers gently caressed the soft feathers of her wings. The feathers were so soft he couldn't resist touching them.

Arianna was in pure bliss as Nuada's lips began to trail down her body, his fingers still playing with her wings. "Nuada," hearing her moan his name sent a shiver running through him.

"Arianna," he whispered her name as he came to kiss her lips once again. Their passion continued to grow but came crashing down when a rapid knocking came at Arianna's door.

"Who is it?" She called out, now thoroughly annoyed.

"Arianna is Agent Myers. You better come quickly." Nuada and Arianna jumped out of bed and with lightning speed they were both dressed. Due to the urgency of Myers voice it was urgent. The two followed the nervous agent down the halls and to the library. In the library stood Hellboy, Liz, Abe, Manning and a few other agents. Arianna noticed that Abe was standing off to the side looking over what looked like some type of object. Yet she could not see exactly what it was.

She kept her focus, trying to see it as all those around her kept talking. Abe placed the object down before he returned to the group.

Arianna's eyes widened in horror as the familiar pyramid object finally came into her line of vision. Every fiber of her being was trembling with fear. "Where did you get that?"

All eyes were now on her, "Where…did you get that?" she asked a little louder and more forceful this time.

"We found it." Hellboy stated as he took another drag from his Cigar.

"Get rid of it."

The coldness in her voice sent shivers down all of their spines. "Ari what is wrong?" Abe asked now concerned.

"Get rid of it. No good can come from this thing."

As Arianna spoke to the group, a cocky and all be it not so bright agent, picked up the pyramid. He held it in his hands inspecting every detail. From the ancient hieroglyphics to the decorative symbols and pictures which pictured a horrific scene. A scene of people having their souls sucked from their bodies.

As he held the pyramid in his hands one of his fingers hit a small dome like button. To the agents horror the symbols, hieroglyphics and pictures began to glow and eerie and frightening screams erupted throughout the room. Arianna's head snapped in the direction of the agent who was still holding the pyramid.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

As she screamed those words and beam of light came shooting out of the pyramid hitting Arianna square in the chest. Though this action was only a mere matter of seconds, the damage had been done. The beam of light disappeared, and Arianna fell to the ground. Nuada managed to catch her in his arms before she fell completely.

"Ari!" everyone ran to her side. And once her eyes opened they gasped, now only a mere dull pale blue they held no sign of the angelic grace she once had.

The room began to shake and rattle and a blinding light erupted from above their heads. Three bright lights came from that single ball of light landing in front of the group. When the light cleared away standing there before them was none other than Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Only this time dressed as though they were normal humans than the great arch angels.

Michael came forward and looked over his fallen 'sister'. "What's wrong with her?" Nuada asked as he held the very weak Arianna in his arms.

"Michael."

The angel looked up and his eyes grew dark and sinister. "How did that get here?" His voice was filled with anger as he turned to look at the frightened agents. "HOW DID THIS GET HERE?" Michael's voice boomed throughout the room causing things to shake a little bit. Raphael and Gabriel assisted Nuada in placing Arianna on the couch. She was very weak and could barely move.

"Nuada," her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Amin naa sinome amin liy." (I am here my love.) He was by her side instantly. She was so pale, she looked so weak. "What is happening to her?" He demanded as he locked eyes with one of the Arch Angels.

Gabriel exchanged looks with his brothers. Their faces fell as a solemn look came over them. Michael sighed "She is dying."

"What?"

"How?"

Gabriel sighed and looked at Michael before continuing. "The object you found…is of pure evil; belonging to a creature of unknown origins and no known name. The pyramid is the source of its power, with it the creature can suck out the souls of the young and the innocent. It steals the souls so it may forever stay young." Gabriel sighed once again "An Angel's soul is their Grace. Without it, we are as strong as a mere human. Our powers weakened almost to nothing. Due to the fact of how old we angel's are, if Arianna's soul is not returned as soon as possible. She will continue to age rapidly until she dies."

Nuada looked back down at his beloved; her hair was already starting to change. White strands began to appear mixing in with the honey brown. Slowly her eyes opened, and the dull blue orbs looked at him from behind hooded eyes. "Nuada…" her voice was raspy and weak.

"Save your strength my love. Don't speak." He placed a kiss upon her forehead, "What must we do?"

Raphael spoke, "We must kill the creature."
