The two girls both were back at the hilly farm. It gave Amber a little chill. She looks over to her house. The lights were still on and the sliding door was still open. It would be like that for another three days until her dad came back to a missing daughter and broken shotgun.
While Amber thought of how her family would react, Jayleen calls to her from the work shop.
"Come on! Someone built this stupid thing over the burial sight."
As Amber obeys, she finds her self moving faster than she ever has before. "Whoah."
Jayleen just smiles. "Yeah. Being really strong and fast are a thing too."
The two stare at the front door of the shop for a minute, neither going in.
Amber breaks the silence. "So that sword's under there?"
Jayleen nods. "Mhm."
The two continue to stand at the door for another minute before Amber finally asks, "Why aren't we going in?"
The other vampire sighs and palms her head. "Vampires need permission to enter a building that isn't theirs. If we want to go in and no one lets us, we just sort of stand there."
Amber frowns and stares at the door some more. "This sucks."
"Maybe digging under doesn't count?" Jayleen suggests. "Have any shovels?"
".. In the workshop."
Jayleen goes quiet and rests her forehead on the wall.
As the two brain storm, a voice snaps them to attention. "Hey, vampire. We wanted that human's sacred gear first."
Jayleen and Amber look to the source that came from above them.
A mature looking woman with bleached blond hair and jet black wings hovers above them, with a short black haired boy and matching wings.
The woman wore black shorts and a white tank top while the boy wore a black karate gi. He hardly looks over thirteen.
At that moment Jayleen grabs Amber's hand and begins to run, the world around them turning to a blur.
While Amber tries to keep up, the two angels begin to glide after them, both of them with spears of light in hand.
"My skirt doesn't have pockets, so I didn't bring a cell phone! Fuck!" Jayleen shouts to Amber while trying to keep her pace.
The two are stopped as a spear impacts the ground in front of them, exploding right after. "That girl is monitored by the Grigori! You have no right to her!"
The woman above them shouts while pointing at them and, the boy in the gi hovers next to her with a cold and nervous stare at Amber.
While Amber looks at the angels in a daze, Jayleen enters a cautious stance. "Those.. Are angels? Are we going to die?"
The girl asks while Jayleen returns a shout to the flying pair. "Well, your job's done! I'll be watching her forever now!"
A laugh comes from the woman angel, "Kyle here was supposed to keep watch on you, Amber! But when he saw you about to confront the vampire, he got cold feet when he should have intervened!"
The boy shouts back in an indignant tone, "I blessed her ammunition! I thought she'd be able to hit the vampire!"
While the angels yell at each other, Amber and Jayleen both look at each other and begin to back up towards a bush, the rustling of the leaves catching both of their attention. "Hey! Don't think we forgot about you!"
Amber and Jayleen both stop instantly.
"Give me Amber and I'll kill you quickly, vampire!"
Jayleen frowns and holds an arm in front of the girl. "You're not taking her! She's my slave, she's my responsibility, I'll protect h- RUN!" The vampire shouts in the middle of her sentence, dragging Amber along again who struggles to stay attached to the ground.
"Wait, if they take me, are they going to kill me?"
Jayleen shouts right at Amber, "Yes! If they take you, they'll kill me! They'll probably kill you after! They have some messed up idea of forgiveness and purity!"
The boy in the gi lands in front of the girls and enters a martial arts stance of some kind while the other angel watches from the air. "I'm sorry, but I have to do th-"
He's cut off by Jayleen punching him in the face and stumbles back. Blood pours out of his nose while he grabs it. "H-Hey! Shit - Ow! You broke my nose!"
Jayleen steps forward again and launches a kick at him, though he manages to react in time, blocking and then grabbing it.
"Don't touch me, filthy angel!" She shouts while the boy tries to head butt her.
In almost a blink of the eye, Jayleen's body cracks up and shatters into dozens of small bats before reassembling into her a couple of feet away.
"I'm not the filthy one, vampire!"
While the two fight, Amber turns to the flying angel. "Can we please not do this? I'm not important at all! We'll go home and never come back!"
The mature angel rubs her forehead and sighs. "Can't do that. The last thing we want is for your sacred gear to be in the hands of the vampires."
Amber looks back to Jayleen for a second while the woman lowers to the ground.
"Come with us, you can be taught to use it.. And won't be tormented by that vampire."
The sound of Jayleen screaming and thumping against the floor makes Amber turn around entirely.
Kyle was walking towards her slowly.
"No-no-no! She might be a bully, but she's nice too! She's not a bad person!" Amber's eyes tear up as the boy manifests a spear of light above Jayleen.
The vampire groans and tries to hold up her arm, it turning into bats that begin to bite harmlessly onto the angel. He stares at Jayleen with hesitation and fright, his arm locked in place.
"NO!" Amber shouts. Before she can even realize what happened, a blue line pierces right through the boy's stomach and knocks him down. Something in her heart felt like it just popped free.
"Wha-?" He utters while pressing his hand against the wound before passing out entirely, falling to the ground.
A cold revolver appeared in Amber's hands. On the sides of it's barrel were golden holy crosses. Her finger was squeezing the trigger without even realizing it.
As Amber turns to the remaining angel, a panicked fluster enters their voice
"Oh - Oh fuck, this is bad." She begins to fly off while Amber takes aim. "They said it was Blade Blacksmith! What the fuck is that?"
Amber squeezes the trigger again, another blue line whizzing through a wing.
"Nonononono!"
Before she has the chance to fire again, the angel throws a spear of light at her, it hits the ground a few feet from Amber, and makes the girl flinch.
Once she looks up again, the angel is gone and a few black feathers flutter to the ground.
Oof. Author's notes time. I've written up to this point around three times now, there's going to be a wait beyond this point. I've never written 'action' before, but I did my best to avoid choppy sentences and repetition, and overall cringe. If there's any criticisms, I'd hope it's for this chapter most of all.
