AN: OMG!!!! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooorryyyyyyyyyyy for leavin' you guys hanging!! I've been really busy lately and I was sick a few days ago. Not fun, I don't recommend it. Well, anyway I just want to say Thank you to 'Ghost In The Snow'. You gave me the idea for this chapter. You're awesome! You were the one who got me off my butt and back to this story, thank you.

Nora's head snapped up. "What's wrong?" She said worriedly. She'd never seen an expression on his face that was so worried, except when she was suffocating And when she nearly died when she jumped off the rafters at their old high school.

Patch swallowed, as if thinking about the best way to tell her something bad. Nora hated how freakishly accurate her intuition was. "It's about Dabria." Nora's eyes widened, she opened her mouth to speak, but Patch cut her off, "It's also about Shana and Ash." Nora froze, she didn't move at all, her chest barely even rose and fell with each breath. Patch kneeled down next to the chair she was sitting in. "Nora, babe?" he pecked her on the cheek. "Ewww!" giggled Shana. Patch tried to smile at her, but the smile looked forced, and it was.

Nora's breathing started getting more ragged. "Shana and Ash?" She gasped. "What do Ash and Shana have to do with that...that bitch!" She hissed.

"Well, Dabria somehow got wind of the two people she hates most in the universe having two children, now she has four enemies," he said cautiously ,"Now, she's coming-" Nora cut him off "-What does that hag want with our children! How dare she!"she ranted, "Wait, how could she get wind of it if she's not an angel anymore?" "It's not that she's not an angel anymore, she's just fallen." "Yeah, but you could've hurt me just as much when you were fallen, in fact you could have killed me, and you nearly did, didn't you?" Nora demanded. Patch looked away, Nora knew it was a hard subject for him.

"And I thought you 'took care of her?'" Nora added. "I ripped her wings off, I didn't kill her." Nora slowly breathed in and out. "Maybe we should leave this place, she doesn't know we know. We can leave, and she won't know. We'll get away," she said softly. "But, Mummy," came Shana's soft, melodious voice, "Me and Ashy have friends here, we don't want to leave." Nora looked between Patch, Ash and Shana. "Well, I'm sorry, my dears, but you won't have any friends if you stay here, trust me, and it'll be alright."

Nora grabbed both their hands and whispered something indistinct in their ears. They ran up the red velvet steps and returned moments later with their suitcases. "You got them to have suitcases, in case this ever happened?" Patch asked, raising an eyebrow. "I was being cautious!" she snapped.

"Patch, are you ready?" Asked Nora quietly. Patch nodded, Nora already had everything. They stepped out, into the cold weather. Even though it was Summer in Maryborough, which was a small town in Australia, near the East coast, it was raining in buckets. Nora towed Ash, while Patch tugged along Shana. "Shh," whispered Nora, placing a finger over Ash's mouth, when he stepped on a stick and it cracked, breaking the tense atmosphere and making all of them jump. Patch helped the twins into the gold ute, buckling their seatbelts and kissing them both on the forehead, before climbing into the front seat with Nora.

"Where are we going?" he asked curiously. "Anywhere but here," came the reply. Then Nora gasped when a dark shadow fell over the car, but it was only Rixon. "She already knows," said Patch. Rixon nodded. "Oh, so...I wasted my time?"

Patch could only nod. "Yup, bye now." Nora drove off, leaving Rixon in the dust and rain. When they'd gone, the illusion of Rixon was gone, Dabria stood in his place.
