Angelus
A POV

I ran. I don't think I've ever ran so fast in 3000 years. But I was too late. I expected to feel tears streaming from my eyes when I saw her lifeless body on the ground.

'No.' I screamed 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'

I cradled her head in my lap. I had only known her for a day and I didn't even know her name, but she's my daughter. I love her. To my great joy, her eyes flickered open. I could have cried.

'Heaven?' she murmured

'No meus carus, this is not heaven.' She was alive; now I had to convince her to live. Her face crumpled.

'Hell. I might have known.' A single tear trickled down her cheek.

She thought she had gone to hell. I held her tighter in disbelief. How could see have thought that?'

'You haven't gone to hell. You could never go to hell. Please filia you have to believe me, you are alive.'

'But I don't want to be,' her eyes flashed open wide 'I have nothing to live for.'

Well, that could be resolved.

'Live for me filia, if you cannot live for yourself then live for me. I... I love you.'

She burst into tears again, her tears soaking my shirt.

'Why are you crying?' I hoped I hadn't offended her.

'You love me,' she said, her voice thick with tears 'You must be an angel.'

The idea seemed to give her so much joy I couldn't help but play along with her.

'Sic. Ego sum vestri angelus.'

'Angelus I want to sleep'

'Then sleep filia. I will keep you safe, I promise.'

I scooped her up so she was resting against my chest. By this time we had attracted quite an audience. I glared around at them,

'Learn your place. None of you will speak of this, or I will have your head. Understand?'

They nodded in sync and returned to their duties. I carried her back to my chambers. Her chambers.

B POV
As strange as it sounds, that night was one of the best of my life. Meus angelus told me he would always be there for me, that he loved me, and he wanted to look after me. He actually wanted to look after me! He wasn't going to leave! I rejoiced. I told him about me, my name and my life. A lower point however was when he was horrified to learn about him.

'Why did you want to die filia?'

My voice shook 'He left me. The rest of the Cullens didn't even say goodbye.'

'Oh filia.' He sighed. I had told him about the Cullens and my relationship with him.

'He put you through so much pain. But if I may, your relationship with him sounds extremely unhealthy, he took advantage of you. Edward Cullen...'

I screamed. So loud it hurt my ears and burned my throat.

'Oh filia I'm so sorry I didn't mean to offend you I'm sorry are you hurt? What's wrong?' The fear in meus angelus voice felt like a blade.

'His name... it still... hurts.'

He very gently stroked my hair. When he spoke, he sounded like he was crying.

'What has he done to you?'

I knew he wasn't talking about leaving me in the forest. He spoke softly, yet determination ringed out of every syllable.

'I will never let anything hurt you again. You have suffered so much. But now you have me.'

He looked me directly in the eyes.

'Let me look after you, you don't have to do anything, just let me control you. I will keep you safe and happy I promise. Let me in filia.'

I wasn't frightened; I just wasn't sure what to say. I told him I didn't want to lose my independence, and he reassured me that he would allow me to contradict his opinion if I thought it was wrong. But after a while I decided I didn't want to be independent. I can think for myself by all means, I just don't have to.
It's perfect.

AN- What do you think? The chapter are getting longer. Feel free to add any suggestions!
