Okay so without further ado here is the next chapter, once again I'm sorry for the overdue update and hope you enjoy.
Chapter thirteen Look Who's Out And About
It was now morning outside, not that Phoebe had really noticed the change in light that much. She had been sitting at her breakfast table all night long, since she had taken Billie to the quest room and put her to bed, when she had fallen asleep on her sitting on the sofa. She hadn't wanted to go to sleep just in case the young blonde had a bad dream and needed her, but luckily she had slept soundly all night long.
At least she's had one good nights sleep, Phoebe thought to herself while taking a sip out of the newly poured cup of coffee, which was sat in front of her on the kitchen table. Phoebe looked over to the microwave, which has a flashing green 24-hour clock displaying on it. It read the time 9:30am.
Suddenly Phoebe's attention turned to the quest room, which now had a completely open door as Billie was walking out of it. She was rubbing her head as she walked into the room still wearing pyjamas; she looked almost as tired as Phoebe, if that was even possible. I feel shit, Billie thought to herself while noticing how hot her head was feeling under her hand. She looks as bad as I feel, Phoebe thought to herself as Billie neared the kitchen table slowly.
"Come here sweetie." Phoebe said holding out her arm for the blonde approaching her to walk into. Billie did so, not really feeling up to fighting against it, not that she would have done anyway. She was still very nervous and needed as much comfort as she could receive from her friends around her. Billie happily walked into the offered hug and rested her burning head against Phoebe's chest while wrapping her arms around Phoebe's waist.
"Wow, you're burning up!" Phoebe said as she pushed some of Billie's blonde hair out of her face so that she could see the young blondes face. Her face looked hot and clammy, her eyes droopy. She really did look ill. Billie leaned against Phoebe in the hug for a short while before Phoebe got up from her chair and guided Billie to sit down on it.
She walked behind the chair over to a cupboard in her kitchen, opening it she took out a temperature reading thermometer and brought it back to Billie. "Okay, put this in mouth for me until it beeps." Phoebe said handing the thermometer to Billie, as Billie was taking the thermometer there was a loud knock at the door, which made her jump. Instinctively she grabbed on to Phoebe's hand tighter as her whole body flinched.
"It's okay, I'll be back in a minuet." Phoebe said while bending down to Billie's level to give her a kiss her forehead, to try and calm her down a bit noticing the fear that seemed to ripple through her body as soon as she heard the knock on the door. After feeling sure that Billie seemed settled, as she had now let go of Phoebe's hand and was about to place the thermometer in her mouth, Phoebe made her way over to the door.
However when Phoebe opened the door she had not expected to see who was there standing before her - Darryl.
"Darryl?" Phoebe said dumbstruck. "When did you get back?" she continued happily, it had been a long time since she had seen Darryl and the last time they were not on the best of terms that was for sure. She smiled to Darryl and moved out of the way of the door so he could walk through.
"I got back this morning, I was in the station for two hours and already they have assigned me to the newest freaky case." Darryl said half jokingly and half seriously. Phoebe raised an eyebrow to this comment. I don't think he's here for a social call then, she though to herself, wondering what his new freaky case could be about.
Phoebe was about to reply when she felt someone's arms wrap around one her arms, she looked down and noticed Billie stood next to her with the thermometer in one of her hands. Phoebe unwrapped her arm from Billie's arms and placed her arm gently around the young blondes back and waist, knowing that her friend didn't like to be away from her too long at the moment. Phoebe had gathered that Billie felt safer when she was closer to her or her sisters.
Darryl watched the two as Phoebe took the thermometer out of Billie's hand with her spare hand and read the temperature off of it. Seeing the condition of the young girl he decided not to anything yet, even though he knew he would have to soon enough.
"102.1." Phoebe stated. "You must have got a fever from being outside in the rain so long." Phoebe said to Billie. If this gets any higher I'm taking her to hospital again, Phoebe thought to herself. She knew that Billie would not go willingly at the moment, as she hated hospitals and so did Phoebe.
"You must be Billie." Darryl said while stretching out his hand for the young blonde to shake; however the response he received was not one he was counting on. Instead of shaking the hand offered like most people would Billie jumped back in fear, as she had no noticed him standing there beforehand.
Billie flinched while edging backwards so she was standing behind Phoebe using her as a live shield almost. Her arms became wrapped around Phoebe's once again as her body started to shake. She didn't even know this man but already she was scared of him, she didn't really understand why she was scared she just knew that she was.
Phoebe concerned at how badly Billie reacted turned around to her quickly and hugged her trying to calm her shaking friend down by rubbing her back gently. "It's okay honey, Darryl's not going to hurt you." Phoebe said in a further attempt to calm her friend.
"Sorry Darryl, she's not usually like this. She's been through a lot recently and gets nervous." Phoebe tried to explain whiling holding the quivering blonde in her arms.
"It's okay Phoebe I know about her uncle, they assigned me to the case involving Billie. It's the reason why I'm here." Darryl explained knowing that it was better to just tell them what was going on than to drag it out.
"Billie's case is your freaky case?" Phoebe said confused as she turned herself and Billie back around to face Darryl, Billie still clinging to her tightly wrapped in her arms. Darryl simply nodded in answer to the question. "Why don't we sit down?" He said pointing to the sofas. Phoebe nodded and leaded Billie and Darryl to the sofas.
Phoebe and Billie sat down on one sofa next to each other, while Darryl sat across from them past a coffee table, which separated them. "I have some bad news involving the case." Darryl finally said breaking the silence that had endured since they had sat down.
"What kind of bad news?" Billie spoke up nervously, clinging tightly onto one of Phoebe's hands. Even though she was trying to act strong, Darryl could see from the look in her eyes how scared she was, he didn't want to have to put her through anymore but knew she had to know.
"It's David. He's escaped from the cell we were holding him in…. there is no way he could have got out that cell unless he had help. The other officers think someone on the inside helped, but I think it could have been a…"
"Demon." Phoebe said interrupting Darryl's speech. She looked over to Billie to notice the blondes breathing had become short and frantic, she looked terrified. Quickly Phoebe repositioned herself on the sofa and wrapped her arms around Billie again, protectively, attempting to calm her down by whispering reassurances in her ear.
"We have teams searching for him as we speak…were doing everything we can to find him and if he is here we will find him." Darryl said trying to help Phoebe calm the young blonde down, to little advantage though as she was now to scared to even hear him.
Suddenly Darryl's pager rang, showing he had a message. Darryl took the pager off of his belt and read the message, sighing he looked to Phoebe. "I'm sorry I have to go now." Darryl said getting up off the sofa.
"Thanks for coming to tell us in person." Phoebe said getting up off the sofa pulling Billie up with her. She lead Billie still wrapped in her arms and Darryl to the door, which she opened for Darryl to leave through.
"Hopefully next time we meet it will be through social reasons instead of work." Darryl said smiling sympathetically to Phoebe, who still had Billie in her arms.
"That would be nice." Phoebe replied smiling as Darryl left down the hallway. Phoebe slowly closed the door. She parted from the young blonde who was in cased in her arms and tried to get her attention so that she could make sure Billie was listening to what she was saying.
However Phoebe noticed when doing this that Billie was staring right past her back into the condo, she looked afraid, terrified even. "Billie? Billie what's wrong?" She said trying to get the girls attention but she had little luck, Billie was completely frozen in fear.
Confused at what could be scaring Billie so much, Phoebe slowly turned around and was faced with something she did not expect. Over thirty demons were in her condo, but what drew her attention the most was the man stood slightly forward, in the middle of this group of demons - David.
"I believe you have something that belongs to me." David said grinning as he gestured towards Billie.
Oh my god, were in big trouble here, Phoebe thought to herself moving in front of a frozen Billie to protect her once again like a live shield.
