DA: Here's chapter 3. I don't own anything that has to do with Trinity Blood. I only own Nikki my Oc.

Chapter 3

Nikki walked down the hall to her room and sighed. She really hated lying to people but she had to. She loved her tovarige but she had to protect her friends from "him". After all the time she lived on Earth "he" was still alive. She had known for some time but didn't tell anyone about it. Tomorrow for sure she was going to tell Seth about what she saw when she followed his trail to the Vatican. "Why after so long are you still alive Cain." She walked into her bathroom and started to draw water for a shower when she heard a knock at her door.

"Who's there?"

"Its me." Able had come to her room to see her. That was a first.

"Just a minute Father." Nikki hurried into clothes and stopped the water. She walked out into the room and opened the door to let Able in. "Please sit down Father Able."

As Able sat on the chair next to her desk Nikki sat on her looked around and saw the black carpet on the floor as well as the blue walls. He knew those colors from the Mars colony that him and his tovarige lived in. Her walls were the same shade of blue. When he looked back at Nikki he saw her brushing her long red hair. In a way she reminded him of Lilith. She always had.

"I wonder why go by the name Angel when you don't like it."

"What are you talking about Father?"

"I know who you are. Why would you lie to me Nikki."

"So you did remember. Well that's good. Oh I almost forgot Astharoshe Asran will be here tomorrow morning to get you and the others. I have other business to attend to. I'm very sorry for lying to you Able but the Empress needed me to so that we can protect the people here. Oh please don't let Ion go to his home. His grandmother is dead and the order is trying to frame him for it."

"You mean the order of Rosenkreuz?"

"Yes. They have found a way into the empire and it is my job to take care of it. The Empress will know as soon as it is done."

Able knew about the order but if they had found some way into the empire than things were going to get a lot worse. "Nikki, I'm sorry for leaving you like I did. I shouldn't have..."

Nikki grabbed her wrist and pulled him to her. Able knew this from somewhere and closed the distance between them. Their kiss lasted for a short time when Nikki heard Ester calling to Able.

"You better go I have to get ready to leave for the palace anyway. I'll come visit you at Astha's after I talk with the Empress."

"Ok. You better not be lying to me Nikki."

"Now how can I do that Able. You saw through one lie you should be able to see through any lie that leave my lips my tovarige."

Able walked to the door and opened it slowly. "You know I never really told you how much I care about you."

Nikki blushed and that was a rear sight indeed.

"Nikki I love you and will do anything to keep you safe from them."

"Thank you." With that Nikki ran out the window before Ester could see what happened and she ran straight to the palace to finish the order that the Empress had given her.
