Chapter 13

All was still, and silent.

"Y-you're a what?" I barely whispered.

Kaine had pressed so close to me that our bodies were fully pressed together, his face resting against my neck.

I could feel him smile as he started to explain, "A vampiric angel is, I guess you could call us vampires with wings. We are former angels, some of the fallen who . . . evolved over time, letting our more, demonic, instincts take over. We are, in essence, where the legends of vampires came from." He paused moving his head so that his lips grazed my jaw. "We, are every teenage girl's fantasy, and everyone's nightmare."

My eyes widened at this, how could that even be real? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, seeing as how angels did exist, but my mind couldn't comprehend what it was hearing.

"And soon," Kaine continued, "You will be one too, and we will be together . . . for eternity."

I was still frozen in shock, not being able to move until I felt his hand slowly trailing up my thigh, snapping me out of my frozen state.

I finally managed to push him off me, because of his surprise that I moved at all, "NO!" I yelled at him, shaking slightly in anger, my hands balling into fists and panted slightly. "I WILL NOT BE YOUR GODDAMN UNDEAD GIRLFRIEND YOU BASTARD! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I punched him in the jaw as hard as I could, using his surprised to run down the passage he came through, leaving him and the darkened room behind.

(A/N: If you remember, chapter 1 started with a flash forward, and this is where it flashed forward to. So it may sound funny because it was written to give more info at the start of the story – meaning I'm too lazy to re-write it a little and am just copying and pasting it from chapter one – on with the story ^_^)

I was running through a dark tunnel in an old run down warehouse on the outskirts of Delphic Seaport. I sprinted as fast as my extremely long legs would allow. Someone, no, something was chasing me I could hear his footsteps getting louder, and louder, and . . . closer. I saw a dim light, marking the end of the tunnel and I made my legs carry just that little bit faster.

I heard my pursuer suddenly fall slightly behind, whether that was because I was faster than him (which I highly doubted), he gave up on me because I was near the end of the tunnel (I also highly doubted this), he wanted me to see who or what was at the end, or, he wanted who or what was at the end to see me.

I kept running at the same speed and reached the end of the tunnel. I saw a dark, bloodied figure hanging from the ceiling upside down, wrapped in chains. A sudden realization hit me and I was shocked beyond belief (which was pretty hard to do since I learnt the truth about angels of all kinds – whether it be fallen, guardian or otherwise – being real).

"P…Patch?"

(A/N: that is where the flash forward in chapter 1 ended, now I get to write more ;P)

I was standing on a platform, with a skinny ladder coming off of it that lead down to the ground, and was connected to other platform type walkways. The walkways followed the wall, making a square and in each corner there was a new walkway leading to the middle of the room where Patch was hanging, making an 'X' shape.

"Patch!" I yelled.

That caught his attention and he turned his head to face me, making the chains jingle slightly. When his eyes landed on me he flinched in shock, "Nora, what . . . are you d-oing here?" he asked as he struggled to get free of his chains. "Go! Run away NOW! Leave before he comes back!"

"He's already back! I ran here to get away from him!" I said, panicking slightly when I realized that he was chasing me just before. So then, why hadn't he caught me yet? I'd been standing there for at least 2 minutes now and he was right behind me before.

I cautiously turned around and looked back into the dimly lit tunnel, not seeing him anywhere.

"W-where'd he go?" I asked quietly, slightly hyperventilating.

"Why, I'm right here love." Kaine said. I turned around and saw him holding onto the chains that were dangling from the roof, smiling. He also looked slightly different than before, his hair was slightly longer, his eyes glowed an eerie crimson, he had fangs poking out from his lips and, did I mention the massive ass black wings with crimson streaks?

"Ah, I forgot to tell you something about us vampiric angels," Kaine said as he dropped to the platform a few meters in front of me.

"O-oh really?" I asked, stepping away from him.

"Yes," he trailed off, "I forgot to tell you, that running away from us, your predators . . . only makes it that much more fun before we catch you." He finished with a feral grin, lowering into a crouched position.

"RUN NORA!" Patch yelled, and for once, I listened to him without hesitation.

I could hear Kaine launch himself off of the platform with a menacing growl. I could feel the wind of his wings against my back as I ran around the platforms to get to the other entry into the room.

"You cannot escape from me." Kaine whispered in my ear, lightly placing his hands around my waist, before he was suddenly ripped away.

"DON'T TOUCH HER YOU TAINTED DEMON OF HELL!" Patch yelled as he pulled Kaine back and stood in front of me protectively. He stepped back so that we were almost touching, before handing me a small dagger he had been hiding in a holster on his belt. I gladly took it, without Kaine noticing and put it up my sleeve.

"You're one to be talking about taint, you are after all, one of the fallen." Kaine said as he stood up, still with a feral smile on his lips.

"Not anymore I'm not." Patch growled out.

"Oh yes, you're Nora's 'Guardian Angel'. I must say you are doing a very poor job." Kaine replied smugly.

Patch growled again and griped one of the chains hanging around him tightly, moving it into an attacking position.

"We'll see," he said as he rushed at Kaine, holding the chain so that he could strike Kaine with it.

Kaine just jumped up out of the way, over the top of Patch and came rushing towards me. I stumbled back a bit when he was a meter in front of me, I pulled out the dagger and, just as Kaine grabbed my waist, stabbed him in the back, embedding the dagger deep between his wings and left it there. He howled out in pain and dropped me to the platform.

Patch came rushing over to me and helped me up, looking for any injuries. "Are you ok Nora? You're not injured are you?" Patch asked concerned.

"No, no I'm fine." I said as I gave him a tight hug before he winced. "But it seems you're not. Come on let's go while he's distracted." I said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him back the way we came.

As we made our way back through the passage way, we could still hear Kaine's pained howls.
