Chapter 4
Angel's POV
My parents were pissed when they found out that I wasn't at the school where they were supposed to pick me up. That got me pissed off since they were over two hours late to pick me up any way. When I brought this up in our 'discussion' I just got yelled at more. I am now grounded for three weeks. That suites me just fine. As I sit on my bed I think about Nightmare. It still feels like a dream when I say that. I didn't even know that vampires really existed until a few hours ago and now I'm a mistress to one.
Lying down I roll over and opened the top drawer to my bed stand and pull out my diary. It's a dark red color that reminds you of blood with a block of black for the middle of it. Pulling out a black pen from the same drawer I close the drawer and open my diary to a fresh page and begin to write.

Dear Diary,
Hey Diary, What's up? I had the craziest day that not even you would believe and we both know that that is saying something. Today started just like any other day of my god-forsaken life, complete with my mother's bitching first thing in the morning and a case of get off my back from Mr. Doom my teacher.
He gave out the test from last week and even though I got ever single question right he STILL gave me an A-. He said it was because he couldn't read my handwriting that well. Bull shit! Any way once I was freed from my torture that we are forced to call school, mom was late again. This time a whopping two hours. But then this morning something else happened.
When I was coming out of the house I saw a girl across the street. Her eyes were red. Pure bloody red. As soon as I made eye contact with her she disappeared. Vanished. Gone. It was like a Houdini. But then I saw her when mom was late to pick me up. She was just standing across the street looking at me. Then she comes up to me and calls me mistress. I was freaked, but it only got worse when I found out that she wasn't even human.
Her name is Nightmare and she is a vampiress. She is now my guardian. She says it is because of what I am. She says I'm the reincarnation to a fallen angel and every 700 years hell is given the chance to break free from the depths of hell and take the human world. Why they are given this chance is BEYOND me! And from what I've seen her do I don't doubt her for a second. She says that she was told to protect me from both good and evil. From good because even though I am and innocent I am still a reincarnation of a traitor and to keep evil from getting me, have to kill me. IT'S NOT FAIR!! I didn't know that I was a reincarnation and I have to die for it? That is such crap!!
Any way from what I have seen so far, Nightmare can walk in sunlight, has super speed, teleporting and from what I can tell, she is a born fighter. I don't know what else she can do yet so I should be careful. Even if she was assigned to protect me, you cant be to careful around those who aren't of this world. I have to go. Talk to you soon.
Love,
Angel.
Sighing, I closed my diary and put it back in the drawer. Standing up I walked over to my dresser and pulled out my pjs. Pulling them on I laid back down on my bed and turned on the TV to watch the news.
And in other news, there have been more reports on the giant robots in Mission City that has been reported as a terrorist attack. Here is some footage of the attack that was taken by an off duty cameraman. As you can se-
I quickly changed the channel. Now stuff like that was obviously a load of bull. Settling the channel on CSI I decided I should probably keep my mind more open then that. I mean come on, I now a vampire, who's to say there aren't actually giant robots out there that destroyed Mission City?
Nightmare's POV
As I teleport away from my mistresses house I have to smile to myself, she was such a cute kid. Just a child who was lost in this world. My smile soon fades as these thoughts come to mind. Sighing, I decided that I should go home and grab my heavy artillery. When it comes to demons, you can never be to prepared. I decide that I would walk and get a chance to collect my thoughts together.
Finally I reach the house and walk through the gate. Walking up the steps that I had walked up only the night before I enter the house. Walking up the stairs, I was stopped by Jake and another woman I had never seen before. Looking at the woman for a moment I turned my attention back to Jake. He was the closest thing that I could call a friend.
"Hey Jake, who's this?" I asked him. He smiled at me before putting an arm around the woman's shoulder.
"Hey Nightmare, I would like to introduce you to my new mate Katie." He said as the woman held out her hand. Shaking it I turned to her.
"Nice to meet you Katie." She smiled at me again before replying.
"The pleasure's all mine."
"Well I actually brought her here yesterday to meet you but you weren't here. By the way where were you today anyway Nightmare? Sierra's been going around telling everyone that you got cooked since you didn't come home before morning." I felt my blood boil at the thought of the stupid bitch. I answered Jake.
"Well you know I went out for a snack and I didn't realize how early it was. Ended up staying at some abandoned house for the day. Met this cute kid their to. And about Sierra you can tell that bitch to go back to hell." At those words Katie giggled.
"I take it I should probably stay away from Sierra huh?" she asked. Smirking I answered.
"Yeah but if you do run into her, just tell her to roll over, it seems to work with all of the guys." She giggled again as I made my way up the rest of the stairs and entered my room. Walking over to my nightstand I pulled out my diary.
May 3, 2009
Dear Diary,
Well, I met Angel. Sweet kid. I hate to think that good is trying to hunt her down. I'm certain that Daydream has something to do with this, I just don't know what. I'm enrolled in in her school so I can keep an eye on her. When I was out in the light, it was like I was reborn again. Its just been so long since I've seen the sun. It truly was beautiful.
I met Ironhide again. There are two humans that know now who I am because they are in relations to Ironhide who is apparently part of a group called the Autobots. I'll have to learn more about them. It's getting late. I will report more later.
Nightmare
Ironhide's POV
I can't believe it. We lost her again! And the only lead we have is the two black roses that Nightmare left behind. I just don't get it. Who is her mistress anyway? Is it someone who she carries out her orders from or just a family member? Sighing I turned my attention to my cannons. They always had a way of calming me down, but this time I was still agitated.
We had been able to find a fingerprint that Nightmare had left behind, but when we ran it through the systems no one popped up. It's like she never even existed. Maybe what Sam had said about these legends was true or maybe I haven't gotten enough recharge lately.
Suddenly Sam's head shoots up. "Now I remember!" he exclaimed. I looked at him strangely before asking him.
"Remember what?" Looking at me he begins to talk rapidly.
"I remember where I've seen black roses before! There's this really old house on 14th street. In the front of the house there are a bunch of black roses growing." We all looked at Sam with surprise.
"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Mikeala asked. Sam rubbed the back of his head and grinned sheepishly.
"I actually forgot until just now." he said, but I barely heard him. Grinning like a maniac I thought. 'Well Nightmare you can run but you can't hide.'Looking at Optimus he nods his head.
"Then this house is where we should look." Transforming he drove away as the rest of us following and again I grinned. Soon I would find her and soon she would pay. Then we would find out who is the better fighter.
Third person POV
The next day at school, word had spread about what had happened to Trent and his friends. Nightmare inwardly smirked as she heard the students and teachers whisper in the halls and in classrooms. She had decided to go back to school, even though Ironhide knew about her location.
She had sensed something on her way to school and was certain that the Autobots knew about the mansions location as well. She sat in class, staring blankly at the board. She could feel Sam and Mikealas minds whirrling and she could smell the delicious scent of their fear. As the bell rang for lunch, she gathered her things and exited the classroom before going to her locker.
After depositing her things she went outside and spotted Angel under a tree eating her lunch, almost completely hidden from sight from the rest of the school. Quickly moving in front of her mistress she sat in the shade beside her.
"So what am I going to do know?" Angel asked as she put her barely touched sandwich down. Nightmare looked down at the shorter girl. She had been wondering that as well.
"I think it would be best if you stayed at the mansion with me where I can keep and eye on you and protect you." She responded. She sat back against the tree trunk and stared up at the sky that showed through between the branches. Then a new scent assaulted her nose. Looking back in front of her, she saw the Autobots. They had all assembled in front of her and her mistress, the rest of the school oblivious to the tension between the two groups.
She growled silently to herself. She looked down at Angel and could smell the rich scent of fear flowing from her pores. She knew something was going to happen and was terrified. Nightmare growled again. No one made her mistress feel fear. No one.
Angel's POV
Who are these guys? Are they going to try and kill me? I feel my heart beat faster as I watch the men come closer. I've never seen these guys before. One wore a black leather jacket with flames, had blue hair and dark blue jeans who was in front. After that came a military guy dressed all in black and a police officer and what looked like an ambulance driver.
Then two guys who looked like twins, one with black leather pants, red jacket, and red hair wearing sunglasses and the other wearing black leather pants, yellow jacket, and blond hair. A short guy with black jeans and a silver stripped shirt came next with sunglasses and black hair with silver streaks with a guy with black jeans and a yellow black striped shirt with yellow and black hair. They all had the same electric ice blue eyes. Then I spotted Sam and Mikeala. I had seen them in the hallways, but had never gotten close enough to meet them.
The guy with blue hair steped up first.
"Nightmare, you are under arrest, step away from the girl immediately." he demanded. I heard Nightmare growl. Apparently she knew these guys and that they were bad news. Nightmare narrowed her eyes and practically snarled.
"And what pray tell, right do you have to order me to do anything Prime?" I could see the surprise flow through the group at the name.
"How did you know-"
"Your name? Same way I hear everything else you're thinking before you even think it." she said. Abruptly she stood and stepped in front of me, hiding me from view.
"I am asking you once more, step away from the girl Nightmare." Prime said.
"And I warned you that you shouldn't go looking for trouble." Nightmare retorted. I shivered as I peaked out from Nightmare. I caught the military guys eye and quickly hid back behind Nightmare with a little eep. What is wrong with me? I wouldn't have acted like this before, so why act like this now? Well it might have something to do with them might being here to kill me, but that's beside the point really. I decided to just sit back and let Nightmare handle this.
Ironhide's POV
Ah watch the youngling hide back behind Nightmare out of sight. Why would she be afraid of us? We were trying to save her from a murderer! She shouldn't be afraid of us. Maybe there's more here then we know.
From Nightmare's body language, the femme seems pretty important to her. Could this be her mistress? She's younger then Mikeala and Sam!
"Yes, this is my mistress." Nightmares voice pulls me from my thoughts with a jolt. That youngling was the master of this human, or vampire, or whatever she was?
Nightmare shifted so she blocked the girl even more with her body who had stood up. I ran a quick scan and learned that the girl was unharmed but the moment I did the scan, both the girl and Nightmare jumped, though Nightmare hid it extremely well that I barely noticed it. Nightmare narrowed her eyes as they flashed dangerously.
"What do you want?" she finally asked after a moment of us all standing in silence. I stepped up beside Optimus.
"We wan' ya ta step away from the youngling." I said. Nightmare shook her head.
"That's not gonna happen Ironhide. I will not let you take her and I will not step away from her. She is my mistress and until she orders me away, I cannot do anything." she said. This is becoming interesting. I looked back at the girl behind her. Who was this girl? Running another scan through the school databases I found her name.
Angel Maybel
Age: 15
Grade: freshman
SEX: female
Angel huh, how ironic. I stepped even closer. "Nightmare, Angel, we might not have to fight if ya explain to us wha's goin on here." I see them both tense even more as I say Angels name. Nightmare seemed to take this into consideration for a moment before turning to Angel who had stepped out from behind her so we could all get a good look at her.
She was small with blue and purple highlights. she wore dark blue jean with a black shirt with a band of some sort displayed on the front. Her eyes shifted over us before turning to look at Nightmare, but before she could respond, the bell rang. Angel looked relieved before turning to stare blankly at us. She picked up her books before she turned to Nightmare and the both of them started to walk towards the building. Then Sunny stepped up and grabbed Nightmare by the arm.
"Listen femme, we told you to tell us to do something you should be smart and do it." before any of us could react she had turned around and slammed Sunny into the tree.
"Never. Touch. Me. Again." she snarled before moving back to Angel as the two made their way into the building.
Nightmare's POV
The school day had ended and to avoid any more confrontation, I warped us out of the building to Angel's house. She was a bit nervous about the entire thing and who could blame her?
She grabbed a few clothes and wrote a note telling her parents that she was spending the night at a friends since no one was home, much to her relief. I warped us to the mansion and then we finished up the homework the teachers had appointed us.
When we were finished I decided it was time that I went down stairs to get some blood. Grabbing a glass of blood I hurried back up the stairs. As I reached my bedroom though, I saw the door open. Fear gripped my heart as I bolted for the door. When I got to the doorway though I relaxed. It was just Jake and his mate. They heard me and turned to look to me, Jake and Katie with big eyes.
"Nightmare. Who is this." Jake asked, voice cracking a bit. I cringed a bit.
"You know who that is Jake." His eyes, if possable, got even bigger.
"You can't be serious!" he demanded as I nodded. He whistled. Turning to Angel, he and Katie bowed deeply. "It is an honor to meet you!" he gasped out once he had stood back up. Angel blushed slightly.
"Pleasure to meet you to." she said. I grinned before turning to the window. The sun had long set and the stars had come out. I looked back to Angel.
"Hey, would you like to go to the park?" I asked her. She perked up at the thought of leaving the room, before nodding enthusiastically. I grinned before grabbing her. She waved to Jake and Katie before holding on to me for dear life as I jumped out the window.
When we reached the park, she sat down on the swings and started kicking, rising higher into the sky with every push of her legs. I watched her from afar for a moment before I heard engines. I turned around quickly looking for the source. No one was in sight. When I turned around again, humans came out of the shadows. I growled. Hunters. This was no good.
AN: Thank you all my patient viewers. Sorry for the wait but school is hell and I'm doing STAR testing tomarrow. Hopefully the next update will be sooner. Thank you all who decided to press the pretty green button. Press it again!
