Chapter Eight
Sikowitz stood in the tattoo parlor waiting on Jade and Tori to return. He looked over to Allison as her and Alex looked over different tattoos he had done. They all knew one thing, it was taking far to long for their students. Jade and Tori should have been back an hour ago. He feared that maybe there was more to the attack than he knew.
"We should go and look for them" he said gaining attention from the angels.
"They need to prove themselves" Alex replied looking at him. "No one came for us when it was our time" he finished looking to Allison who just looked back at him.
"True, and if they are the ones pure of heart like we think they are they will be fine" she said looking to Sikowitz.
Suddenly the door to the tattoo shop flew open an Jade stood there. Her face was bloodied and bruised and tears flowed from her eyes. In her arms was an unconscious Tori with a bloody arrow sticking out of her chest. They three adults ran to them and quickly took Tori from Jade. They moved her on her side and laid her on the table. Sikowitz moved back to Jade.
"What happened?" He asked as Alex and Allison grabbed a medical kit.
"We fought the demons and vampires. We were loosing, the leader was some vampire named Dracula. Then the Death Angels showed up and attacked us" she explained sobbing as she stared at Tori. "Is she going to die?" She asked moving forward.
"I don't know" Allison said. "The arrow pierced her left lung" the angel said examining the wound. Reaching over she took a pipe cutter from Alex. Carefully she cut the arrow around he broad head. Tossing it aside she started to pull the arrow out. Looking down she watched as blood flowed from the wound. Reaching into the med kit she pulled out an alcohol wipe.
She gently started cleaning the wound. She looked at the ragged flesh around the wound. Reaching back into the kit she grabbed some thread and a needle. She started to stitch the wound up taking care of the wound. Once she was done she took some bandages. Placing them over the wound she nodded to Alex. They watched as he picked her up and moved to a back room. Jade tried to follow but Allison stopped her.
"You can be with her in a second. What exactly happened?" Allison asked looking at her.
"Like I said, some vampire was there named Dracula. He kicked our asses however before we could finish our fight the Death Angels attacked. They wounded Tori" Jade explained looking between Sikowitz and Allison.
"Are you sure his name is Dracula?" Sikowitz questioned making her turn to him.
"Yes, I'm fucking sure that's what he introduced himself as" Jade snarled looking at him. "I don't see the fucking problem with one vampire. Four humans just attacked us and nearly killed Tori. They should be at the top of our list" she growled looking at both of them.
"Look we don't kill humans you know that Jade" Allison said making the younger angel look to her.
"They're not humans, they're fucking monsters" Jade snarled walking away leaving Sikowitz and Allison standing there as Alex walked in.
"Did she really just say the vampire was named Dracula?" He asked looking at both of them.
"Yes, if he's truly back then there is something big going to happen" Allison said with a sigh as she walked over to a sink and started to wash her hands.
"It can't be a coincidence that he returns just after we find out they're the ones pure of heart" Alex stated making Sikowitz look to him.
"Agreed, which means he might be working with Lilith once more" the werewolf said with a slight nod. "We need her help" he stated making both angels look at him.
"No, she said she was done with out petty war" Allison said looking from Alex to him.
"She won't pass up a chance to try to kill Dracula. This is her chance" Alex said agreeing with Sikowitz.
"Okay, we leave in the morning" Sikowitz said watching as the others nodded in agreement.

The lights flicked on to an office. Samuel stood there looking at his office in his recording studio. He was alone in the building, everyone had gone home for the day. His eyes looked around the room before he slowly walked to his desk. Moving behind it he looked at the framed picture sitting on the corner of his desk. Reaching forward he picked it up carefully.
He looked at the picture of him and his family. The picture was taken just a week before his wife was killed. He missed his wife terribly, not a day went by without her in his thoughts. A tear moved from his eye as he started to cry softly. His free hand went up and covered his face.
"I miss you Michelle" he said softly.
"You ain't the only one that misses her" a voice said from his office door.
He looked up to see Drake and Summer standing there. They walked into his office and looked at him as he sat the picture back down. He looked up at them as they came around his desk. Summer walked over to him and hugged him tightly showing she loved him. He hugged her back before looking up to Drake. "Where is Nikki and Cale?" He asked looking at them.
"Nikki is with Ashley right now and I'm not sure where Cale went. He's having one of his days" Drake replied looking at him.
"Well, we better find him, if anything we know where he's at" Samuel said standing up.

The city lights glistened across the ocean. Waves lapped gently onto the beach. Cale sat on a boulder looking out across the ocean. In his right hand he gripped onto a bottle of whiskey. In his left was a picture of his adoptive mother. She had been more of a mother to him than his own druggie mother. He closed his eyes remembering the horrors he had endured at the hands of his blood family. Opening his eyes he took another swig of the liquor.
He missed her, she had always been so good to him. She loved him, told him it everyday. He put the picture away and turned his attention to a rocky point. On that point he heard seals barking and braying. He remembered when his mother would bring him here to listen to them the calls they made always seemed to put him at ease. Taking another sip of his drink he stood up.
"You know a seal mother will defend her pup to the bitter end" Nikki said from behind him.
"Yeah, mom used to tell me that" he said turning around to face his sister as he took another swig of his whiskey. He looked to see Nikki but she wasn't alone. He saw back by the road was the rest of his family.
"This is the only place you come when you're not doing good" she said moving over to his side.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with Ashley" Cale questioned closing the distance to her.
"Summer texted me told me you were having troubles. Ashley is back up there with them, we made it here first" she said glancing back to the group. Looking back to Cale she watched as he took another drink from the bottle. Her face dipped into a frown as she reached up and took the bottle from him. This in turn caused him to look at her. "Mom wouldn't want you doing this" she said looking at the bottle.
They both turned to see Summer, Drake, and Ashley walking up to join them. "Where's dad?" Cale asked.
"He said he'll have a talk with you when we get home. Right now he felt it would be best if it was just us" Summer said looking at him.
Drake started to move driftwood around into a pile. Cale moved over to help him. After about five minutes they had a small fire going and were sitting around it. Cale looked into the fire thinking about his mother once more. He looked over to Nikki who still held onto the bottle.
"You're not the only one that blames them self for her death" he heard Drake say making him turn to look at his brother.
"I know, you guys just deal with the pain better than I do. I keep thinking I should have done something" Cale said as he leaned back on the boulder.
"Than you would be dead, and we'd be without you" Summer said softly. She looked up to see everyone looking at her. "We love you big brother, none of us want you dead" she said looking to Cale as he lit a cigarette.
"Given my past and the memories I have to live with. Well death doesn't sound bad. At least you all would still have her" he said exhaling the smoke.
"Well her death brought us closer together and made us what we are today" Drake said looking over to his brother.
"Can I say something, I know it's about your mother, but I feel like I need to say something" Ashley said making the siblings look to her.
"Of course love" Nikki said looking at her girlfriend.
"I can tell she meant a lot to you all. Hearing you guys talk about her makes me wish I had a chance to meet her. I can tell she loved all four of you" the blonde said as she held onto Nikki's hand.
She looked at them as they each looked at one another. Drake and Summer looked back at her. Cale just tipped his head down. Nikki leaned over and gave her a tender kiss as a lone tear slipped from her eye.
"She would have loved you" Cale finally said earning a look from Ashley as she looked back to him. "You make Nikki happy, that's all she ever wanted. She wanted all of us to be happy" he finished as he looked back to the fire.
"That's right, and she wouldn't want you doing this" Nikki said as she handed the bottle back to Cale.
He took the bottle from her and looked at it. He looked back to her and then to everyone else. His attention went to the bottle once more. Standing up he looked to the ocean. With a powerful heave he threw it into the ocean. Turning he looked back to his siblings who were all smiling.
"We're proud of you Cale" Nikki said with a proud smile.

Seattle Washington, Next Day.
Sikowitz and Allison walked though the city. They had arrived in the afternoon and had checked into a motel. The sun was just setting and they had left from their room. They were there to get help, help from someone very powerful. They made their way to a night club. Looking at it they looked to each other. They had taken notice of the long line in front of the building. Moving forward they were stopped by a bouncer. The muscular man looked them over before arching an eyebrow.
Allison took note that he was human. She looked to Sikowitz who just nodded. Looking back to the man her eyes started glowing a bit. This caused the man to gaze into them deeply. Shaking his head he smiled and opened the door for them.
Allison smiled back to him as they walked into the club. The bass rattled their eardrums. It bothered Sikowitz more because of being a werewolf. They walked up to the bar. They looked as a beautiful black haired woman was serving drinks.
She had an athletic body type with slender arms. She was as tall as Allison and moved with grace and elegance. They watched as she poured shot after shot for people. Her head turned in their direction and when she saw them she had a scowl appear on her face. Walking down to them she looked at them.
"Get the fuck out of my club" she yelled over the music.
"We need to talk to you" Allison called back.
"No, fuck off. No immortals allowed in" the woman shouted back before motioning to have them removed.
"He's back, Dracula is in Los Angeles" Sikowitz shouted making her stop.
The woman looked at them just as two bouncers appeared behind them. She held up her hand making them stop. She stared at the angel and werewolf before her. She motioned them to follow her. Together they walked into the back room drowning out the music. "Talk fast" she ordered crossing her arms.
"Last night we sent two of our students out on a proving mission. Well Dracula happened to be there. We think he's working with Lilith. They are planning something big" Sikowitz said watching as the woman tipped her head down in thought.
"It's not just them we have to deal with. The Death Angels are in LA and they seriously wounded his student" Allison said looking between Sikowitz and the woman.
"First off, I said I was done with all aspects of the war. Second off I don't give a shit about four humans. Finally what makes you think I give a fuck about your problems?" She questioned looking at both of them.
"Because we know you want to kill Dracula. You want him dead after what he did to you. Actually what he did you your mate. Why pass up a chance when you know where he is?" Allison asked watching as the black haired woman looked at her.
"You're right, I want his fucking head" she said pausing as her fingers ran through her hair. "Okay, I'll help, but I'm only helping to kill Dracula. Your fucking war and pesky humans are your problem" she said pointing between them. She smirked as they nodded in agreement.
"Thank you Carmilla" Allison said looking at her as she shook her hand.

Jade laid in the cot that held Tori. Her left arm was wrapped around Tori's abdomen. Her wing was wrapped around her too. Her eyes stared at Tori's tanned cheek. The thought of loosing the werewolf haunted her. She couldn't bear the thought of not having Tori around.
Her mind jumped back to them escaping the museum. The confession of love from Tori still rung in her head. A part of her thought she was just delirious from the blood loss. However another part thought that it was a genuine love confession.
The moon shone on them making them both seem to glow. Jade continued to stare at Tori as her left hand moved up. She gently stroked the unconscious girl's cheek, feeling how soft it was. She smiled slightly, a lone tear dripping off her cheek.
"Please don't die Tori, I love you" she said softly.
A few soft cries escaped her lips as she continued to caress the tan cheek. She then started to remember the Death Angel that shot Tori. The blonde seemed different than the rest. She seemed like one that could be reasoned with.
No, they can't be reasoned with, they're monsters, she thought to herself.
Suddenly Tori shot up gasping. Reacting quickly she shot up, her hands on the panting werewolf's chest and back. "Tori, it's okay" she said in a soothing voice. "Alex" she shouted back into the building.
It didn't take long for the fellow angel to be by her side. He carefully removed Jade and sat on the bed. He looked at Tori as her head turned to him. He started to examine her bandages. He looked to see the wounds still hadn't fully healed. Reaching over he grabbed the med kit. He started to clean the wounds before bandaging them again.
"You were shot with silver Tori, it'll take a few days to heal. Just rest" he said offering a small smile to her. He helped her lay back down. Once she was laying he carefully covered her still nude figure up to her breast he turned to Jade and nodded to her.
She let out a relieved breath before nodding to him. She moved back over to the bed and looked down at Tori. The Latina werewolf looked up at her and gave her a weak smirk.
"How do I look?" She asked looking at Jade. The angel was staring down at her. Her wings were folded against her back. The moonlight was caught by the black feathers making them glisten. She could see a look of concern in her face. "I'll be okay Jade" she said softly.
When she said those words Jade broke down. Tears poured from her eyes. She climbed into the bed crying as her arm went around Tori once more. Her left wing wrapped around them both.
"Jade, what is it?" Tori asked in a tender tone.
"I almost lost you" Jade said nuzzling into the crook of the werewolf's neck.
Letting out a soft groan of protest she wrapped her left arm around Jade. She clung to her giving her a reassuring squeeze. Her eyes stared at the ceiling of the room. She listened to Jade cry softly. "I'm never going to leave you Jade. I'm in love with you, there's not a force on earth that will take me from you" Tori vowed making Jade stop crying.
Jade pushed herself up and looked down at her. Tori looked back at her giving her a tender smile. The goth angel looked at the Latina werewolf who looked at her. Hazel eyes met blue eyes. Just then Jade's eyes started to glow softly as Tori's turned green with slit pupils. Slowly Jade leaned down, moving closer to Tori. Their lips brushed together both waiting to see who would make the first move.
Jade finally pressed her lips to Tori's. Their lips moved together and slowly their hands started to stroke their cheeks. Jade's wings wrapped around them and the bed. They were cocooned in the warm soft feathers. Finally Jade pulled back, both taking a breath. Slowly Jade tipped her head to Tori's.
"I love you Tori" Jade said softly as she gave her another kiss.
"I love you too" Tori said softly as she smirked a bit. She looked as Jade laid next to her once more. She reached her right hand up and stroked the soft feathers. "I love your wings" she said softly. "So what now?"
Jade laid their before looking up to Tori. They looked at each other before Tori saw the look in her eyes. "We're going to catch a Death Angel" Jade said making Tori's eyes shoot wide.
