Chapter Nine: An Angel's Battle Part Two
Those eyes... Fang recalled seeing them somewhere before, but it was too late to call out the name of the owner of those eyes. Fang was right though to look around before disappearing into the portal. When he saw those eyes he felt hurt, almost ashamed. Why though? Why did he feel hurt when nothing had happened?
The sight of those eyes was the thing that haunted his dark realm called his mind as he lost consciousness from falling for such a long time. He felt like he was floating rather than falling; then again, to him, it was the same feeling.
It seemed like he was wrapped in unconsciousness for a very long time as Fang opened his eyes to a marvelous sight; a clear blue sky and a blazing sun. He slowly sat up and found himself sitting in a meadow of tall grass.
As he looked around for a long moment, a frantic question ran out of his mouth.
"Where's Angel?!" he practically shouted out as he looked all around him for the little white haired butterfly.
"Who's Angel?"
Fang swiftly turned around to see a young wolf wearing a white robe that was customized with bright pink designs.
"Who're you?"
"You shouldn't ignore my questions like that. If you answer my question then I'll answer your's... okay?" the young wolf asked in a voice that belonged to someone pure and innocent.
Fang sighed, "Angel's a little butterfly. White hair... um... about this tall," as he said this he motioned how tall Angel was. The clueless look in the wolf's eyes made him make the quick decision to stop before he confused her anymore. "She's missing though..."
"Oh. And now I answer your question. I'm Shira Li and I was seeing if you were awake yet."
"Awake?"
"Yeah, I got scared that maybe you were..."
Shira shook her head quickly and grabbed Fang's hand.
"What is it with these kids dragging me all over the place?!" Fang's mind shouted with slight annoyance.
"Come with me please. Brother wants to see if you're okay. He's sort of the medic in the family."
"Medic?"
Shira nodded and she started to drag Fang up to his feet. Fang got up and put a hand on the hood that covered the wolf's face. Shira swiftly slapped the hand away and seemed scared.
"What?"
"I was just curious as to what you look like... sorry."
Shira pulled her hood down and revealed that she was pure pink and there were black on the tips of her ears. As she blinked, her brilliant pink eyes appeared to be foggy and unfocused.
"Um..." Shira seemed like she was about to say something but she pulled the hood back over her head and resumed dragging Fang along the meadow, toward a distant house that appeared almost abandoned.
Even with Shira's fragile and weak appearance, she was able to open the door to the house with ease. The inside of the house seemed very spacious and empty; except for the three people that were sitting around a small table.
"Brother! I got him!"
"Fang!"
Fang was met with a hug from Angel whose arm was wrapped in a lot of bandages and Angel's left eye had a large cut running down it. She smiled at Fang and released him from the hug.
"Shira Li! Where have you been!?"
"Sorry brother... I was trying to help," Shira quietly said as she bowed her head and hid behind Angel.
"Sorry doesn't cut the worry in half!"
"Yo Soren, calm down. She didn't mean any harm. Besides, I told you she would be back, didn't I?"
Angel shivered as she looked at the figure sitting the farthest away from them all. He was a pure black chameleon with red eyes... one that mimicked-
"Rogue! Shut up! You have no business getting involved in our own affairs!"
Soren stood up and Fang paid close attention to his attire; a midnight black robe with strange blue designs and he had the most soft spoken blue eyes that Fang had ever seen. Soft spoken however wasn't the word to describe Soren's voice though.
"Shira! I told you a hundred, no a thousand, times never EVER run off like that!"
While Soren and Shira were arguing, Fang looked at Angel and thought of numerous questions.
"Where... um... when are we? Isn't this Rogue guy the person we were running away from before? What are we suppose to see exactly because all I see are three people that don't do a very good job getting along and-"
"We're a lot farther back than I thought we would be," Angel thought as she looked guilty, "I think we're more than three hundred years in the past. Um... yes Rogue is the guy we were running away from, but apparently in this time he's not after us... and... for the last question-"
"So you're Nack?"
Fang jumped a little as he turned and saw Rogue looking at him with childish red eyes. They weren't as demonic as they were back where the duo came from, but instead they just held a child-like appearance that made Fang calm down.
"Yeah, what of it?"
Rogue tilted his head, "I know you."
"Of course you do Rogue! You met him in another one of your visions right?"
He looked at Shira who was smiling hopefully. Rogue nodded.
"Yes. That's how I know him."
"See brother! I told you that Rogue knew him!"
Soren growled and stormed away from them. Shira walked over and seemed to force herself to smile.
"I'm sorry if Fang caused you any trouble," Angel told Shira as she shifted uncomfortably on her feet. "I'm just curious, how old are you guys?"
Rogue blinked and stared at the duo as though they were morons. Of course, Shira tapped Rogue and motioned him to answer.
"I'm thirteen and Shira's twelve."
"... And how old are they back when we come from?"
"Would you kill me if I answered almost a thousand years?"
Fang held back the look of irritation as Shira smiled, "Rogue, you have to watch these guys while brother and I get more food for our guests."
"I knew you would win the argument."
Shira skipped out of the house and Rogue's blood red eyes stared at the duo who just stared right back at him.
"So... what would you like to do?"
"I'm going to kick his a-"
"Don't! He's probably not evil in this point in time," Angel's thought echoed in Fang's head.
"I'm not sure. I guess, if it's alright with you, we'll just wander around and see where exactly we-"
"Haven Fields."
Angel looked sad as she glanced at the ground and her hand covered her mouth as though she had said the wrong thing.
"What's wrong Angel? What's the big deal about Haven Fields?" Fang asked quietly as Fang got on his knees to get eye level with her.
"Haven Fields is the place between Heaven and Hell..."
"So we're at the cross-"
"Cross roads of life and death? Yes," Rogue said as he took a seat and smiled. "Come sit with me. I sort of need someone to play with me... y-you will play with me right?"
Fang felt like he should be killing Rogue right about now, something made him almost run up to him and destroy him. Angel however smiled.
"Sure... we'll play with you."
"Are you sure about this Angel?"
Angel nodded. She walked over to Rogue and she sat down beside him.
"What are we going to play?"
Fang rolled his eyes; there was no way in Hell or Heaven... or in Haven Fields was he going to play with anyone. He walked out of the house and sat down next to the doors just in case.
Angel looked at Rogue who took out a crystal ball and held it with both of his hands. He smiled, "it's called truth or dare."
"With a crystal ball?"
"Yep. You just touch it and if it turns blue then you have to do a dare, but if it turns green you have to tell the truth... and if it turns red then it means you're lying."
Angel nodded, "sounds fair enough... are you a prophet?"
Rogue wagged a finger at Angel.
"We didn't start Angel. You start and we'll work through the game and try to understand each other."
Fang listened to that and he sighed. You didn't understand a person any better by playing a dumb game like truth or dare. Rogue... even if he was younger and probably didn't have a bone of evil in him, he still felt horrible being around him.
Soren and Shira though... there was something about one of them that made him want to scream. He wanted to know how Angel's battle ended, how she wound up dead, but he knew that he would have to wait for a long while for it to happen. He could only come up with conclusions.
This demon Cecelia probably killed her when she found out that Angel was alive. Maybe Angel tried to protect Charmy but died? Fang wasn't sure about what could've happened or what did happen. He was just more concerned about Rogue.
"ROGUE!"
Fang's ears twitched as he darted in to see Angel crying and Rogue's clawed fingers gripping her wrist and held it away from the crystal ball. Angel was whimpering for Rogue to let go but he wouldn't.
Fang took out his pistol and gave a warning shot. Rogue's eyes widened and his grip loosened and Angel ran toward Fang. Fang watched as Rogue dropped the crystal ball and at the last minute a pure white pillow appeared out of nowhere. The crystal ball slammed into the pillow and white feathers flew everywhere.
Angel sneezed and rubbed the feathers away only to see that the feathers were melting away and the crystal ball safely made it on the hardfloor ground and rolled toward Shira.
"Shira!" Angel cried at the same time Rogue did.
"Rogue... why would you hurt her? What did she do?"
"N-N-Nothing!"
Shira walked over to Rogue and gave him the ball back and frowned, "I thought I could trust you. If I didn't come here then bad things would've happened."
"You don't understand though! THEY'RE FROM THE FUTURE!"
Rogue's voice echoed and the last sound that could be heard before the dead silence was Shira whispering, "what?"
---
Okay guys, this idea was a bit strange to me. So Angel's plan to go back in time sort of failed, but they met up with Shira, Soren and Rogue... a strange little group of demons wouldn't you say? Anyways, so how will this work out for Fang and Angel? And how did Angel mess up with going back in time? These questions will be answered soon. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I hope you guys will tell me what you think.
