Angel Among Us
A Covenant fanfic
Chapter 5: Guardian Angel
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later during swim class waiting for class to start, Angel and the Sons of Ipswich were chatting. Tyler brought up Nicky's in one of their conversations which sparked an idea in Reid's head, a smirk gradually appearing on his face.
"Hey, you should come with us next time, Angel." Reid suggested.
Angel looked up at him. "Come where?"
"Nicky's. We go there often as a main hangout spot, a lot of the school does, actually. I'd love to take you there." Reid clarified.
Angel smiled. "Is it a restaurant or something?"
"A bar." Tyler answered.
Angel's eyes widen slightly in surprise. "A bar? We're all too young to enter bars, though."
"This one is a teen friendly bar. The owner, Nicky, allows underaged people to enter, he just doesn't allow them to drink. You should really come, you'd have fun there." Caleb stated.
"Okay, I'd love to go." Angel stated in a smile.
"Sweet! How about we go tonight? You can ride with me and Tyler. Is that okay, baby boy?" Reid asked.
Tyler smiled invitingly. "Sure."
"Okay, I got no plans today, so sure." Angel agreed. He could use a distraction from that worrying vision that keeps butting into his thoughts.
Caleb smiled. "Alright, Pogue and I will meet you there."
The bell rang then, signaling the beginning of class.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later that afternoon, Angel was at his house in his room picking out what to wear to his night out at Nicky's with his boyfriend and new friends. He was in his walk-in closet – which was basically a hallway that was 25 feet long – looking through clothes and shoes to come up with an outfit fit for tonight. He settled on a long sleeved shirt that was white on the torso with two thick black lines going across horizontally in a crooked position, and was black on the arms. He got out a pair of skinny blue jeans and some cute little gray boots that cut off at the ankle and had a thick black 'X' on the base of the tongue and had white fake fuzzy fur around the tongue and top of the heal for warmth. He then got out of his walk-in closet and shut the door behind him before looking at his bookcase that held all his accessories. He skimmed through them till he found the one that would go great with his outfit. He picked a brown leather necklace tied to a silver, metal, ring sized hoop that hung two metal, finger length feathers; one silver, one gold.
Once he put all that on, checked his hair in his full length mirror that hung on the door to his walk-in closet, went to his bathroom and sprayed some fragrance on his shirt, and then walked to his bedside table to put his phone, wallet, and house key in his jean pockets, he was ready to go. Angel walked over to his full length mirror again to look everything over one more time. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and opened them.
'Just have fun with the Sons of Ipswich and try not to worry about that vision for now. Everything will be okay.' He pep talked mentally.
Angel has been psychic practically his entire life. He started experiencing it at 8 and it hasn't stopped ever since. He was a very gifted child, and his friends Eddie and Chelsea knew that obviously and so did his parents. They support him in everything which makes his friends and parents the greatest ever. The doorbell eventually rang and his mom answered it before calling up the stairs a minute later.
"Honey, your boyfriend's here!"
Angel smiled and exited his room to go downstairs. When he was in view of the foyer, he saw his parents and Reid talking.
"-ell, if this bar is as harmless as you say, then alright. Never leave him alone in there for too long, though, just incase." Angel heard his father say to Reid and saw his mother nod in agreement.
Angel blushed at the embarrassing babying his parents were advising.
"Yes, he is a beautiful boy. And being in a place like that can surely cause some unwanted situate-"
Angel stopped his mother right there by voicing his presence.
"I'm ready!"
His parents turn around which caused Reid to be in view of Angel, who was a few short feet from them, and his jaw dropped. He couldn't agree more with Angel's parents, he was indeed a beautiful boy. It's even more emphasized when he dresses like this. Angel's parents smile at their son.
"Oh, sweetie, you look stunning." His mother commented proudly.
His father smiled as well. "As our Angel always does."
Angel smiled and walked to stand next to Reid who was wearing a black short sleeved shirt with white splatters at the whole top of the shirt as the print. He had a black open jacket on that had red buttons and a red skinny line running down both of his sides and was also red on the inside of the collar and had red Base London Aldaniti shoes. Reid was still staring at Angel in awe.
"Thanks mom, dad. We're going now, see ya later."
"Be safe and have fun you two!" His mom called as they walked out the front door.
They got into the hummer, Tyler driving and Reid getting in the back for once to be with Angel. Reid still hasn't said a word since he saw Angel, he just looked at him…all over him...taking in everything. Angel was amused by it and finally voiced his curiosity.
"You okay?" Angel asked in a grin softly so he wouldn't gain Tyler's attention.
"Hell yeah, I am," Reid answered softly as he looked from his body to meet his eyes slowly, blue eyes shining in intense approval.
"God, babe…you turn me on every time I see you in clothes like that," Reid said before scenting the air.
"And smell like that." He continued softly, Tyler not hearing.
Angel was flattered by that and smiled.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"This is Nicky's." Tyler stated to Angel after they stepped through the door.
Angel looked around and could immediately understand why this was a common hangout spot for Reid and his friends. It was fit for lounging and had a nice and cozy feel. Tyler and Reid led Angel over to where Caleb and Pogue were which was at one of the tables sitting.
"Hey, guys." Tyler greeted Caleb and Pogue.
The two oldest sons smiled at them and stood up. "Hey," Caleb greeted the three then met Angel's eyes.
"So…what do you think?" Caleb asked him.
Angel smiled. "It seems nice and comfortable. I can see myself enjoying this place."
Reid grinned and grabbed his arm. He would grab his hand, but he didn't want his friends catching on that they were a couple, so he went with the alternative.
"Let's do so then." Reid said as he led Angel to the game section of the bar.
Reid walked over to the foosball table, Angel looking it over. "Wanna play some foosball?" Reid asked him.
Angel smiled happily. "Yeah."
Angel got on one side while Reid got on the opposite side and they started the game. After three rounds, it coming out close, Angel won, winning twice; Reid winning once. Angel cheered and Reid sighed from disappointment of the loss, but smiled in amusement from how excited Angel was at winning.
"Yes! Ha-ha! I won!" Angel cheered happily towards Reid.
Reid smirked and took a wide step over and grabbed Angel by the waist with his arm from behind in a fast movement and tickled his side with his other hand, causing Angel to break in a fit of laughter, him moving away from Reid in the process. Reid put his hands on his own sides in triumph with a smirk.
"Serves you right to mock me," Reid stated.
Angel grinned up at him and giggled, his cognac brown eyes sparkling in mirth. This dazzled Reid into staring at him with turned on eyes. Reid blinked himself out of his dreamy state and regained his composure.
"So…you beat me at that game, but you won't beat me in this game." Reid said confidently in a smirk as he walked over to the pool tables, Angel following. Tyler walked over at that point with their drinks.
"Hey, got you guys some Coke." He said as he set Reid's and Angel's on a spot of the bar counter which was behind the pool tables.
Angel and Reid looked over at him. "Oh, hey, thanks, dude." Reid stated as he took a sip of his drink before walking back over to a pool table and setting up a game. Tyler observed as Reid set up.
"Mind if I join in?" Tyler asked.
Reid smiled. "Yeah, if that's okay with you, Angel."
"Yeah, it's fine. How would we do it with three people if there's only 2 kinds of balls?" Angel asked.
"You can split it into light or dark colors. The extra one or two people can claim dark colors or light." Tyler explained.
Angel's eyes gleamed with understanding. "Oh, okay, neat."
"I'm solids." Reid stated.
"And I'll be the light colors of the solids." Tyler stated.
"Kay, guess that makes me stripes." Angel said in a smile.
Few minutes later, Reid won, who smirked. "Told ya you couldn't beat me at this." He said to Angel, adding onto his previous comment.
Angel smiled. "Yep, you are really good at it."
Tyler grinned. "You have no idea," Angel looked at him curiously at that. Tyler met his eyes then clarified.
"No one has been able to beat him. I've only ever come close. If you ask me, he's too good for his own good."
Reid glared at Tyler playfully. "Aw, you're just jealous."
Tyler rolled his eyes fondly. "Well, I'm hungry, so I'm gonna go get some food. Ya want any?"
"Nah, thanks, man." Reid answered.
"No thanks." Answered Angel.
"Kay, I'll be at our table with the guys then." Tyler said before walking away.
Reid closely watched him go. Once he was ordering his food, Reid suddenly turned and grabbed Angel's hand and fast-walked to the bathrooms. Once inside, Reid dragged Angel behind a stall, Reid locking it and then looked at Angel with dark, hungry blue eyes. Angel looked up at him curiously, not completely sure what was up.
"Damn, babe….all that bendin' over you did back there during pool….turned me on so damn bad." Reid said in a sultry voice.
Angel blushed at that and giggled. At that laugh Reid loved, Reid shot his hands up to rest them against the wall of the stall they were in, trapping Angel between his arms. Reid looked down to his lips and descended upon them. Angel accepted and kissed back, wrapping his arms around Reid and resting his hands on his back and shoulder. After the deep and intense kiss, Reid moved to Angel's neck, moving his shirt collar over.
~A few minutes of making out later
After Angel regained his breath, he spoke. "That….that was amazing!"
Reid smirked triumphantly. "Really? Sweet! Never done that before."
Angel looked at him in surprise. "You…you mean you haven't…"
Reid shook his head. "No…none of it, actually, despite popular belief." He huffed a laugh at the end of his sentence.
Angel blinked in pleasant surprise. "Wow…that's great. I haven't either...any of it."
Reid's eyes widened. "Whoa, what? Are you saying you've never felt sexual pleasure before?"
Angel blushed and nodded. Reid let out a breath in amazement. "Wow! I've at least done that." Reid stated.
Angel looked at him in confusion since Reid said he's never done anything with anyone before. Reid caught on and explained.
"My hand, babe." Reid said in a smile.
"Oh, right." Angel blushed at his ditziness just then.
Reid laughed then leaned in to kiss him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Couple days later, in science class with Chelsea and Eddie, their teacher was giving a lecture about how certain types of matter effects each other when there was a knock on the classroom door. The teacher announced for the person to come in, and when they did, Eddie's eyes widened.
Chelsea, who sat next to him, wasn't paying attention to whoever walked in, too focused on the notes she was writing down from the lecture, so Eddie tapped her shoulder repeatedly.
"Ch-Ch-Chels! Chels!" Eddie whisper-yelled.
The person that walked in handed the teacher a slip of paper and the teacher took it, reading it over. Chelsea looked over at Eddie after he tapped her and called her name multiple times rapid fire.
"What?" She whispered back.
Eddie pointed to the front of the room with wide intimidated eyes. Chelsea frowned her brows and looked forward. When she saw who it was, her eyes widened in dread as well. It was that guy that Angel's recent vision was about.
"A new student, eh?" The teacher mused. "Alright…now where to seat you."
Eddie leaned closer to Chelsea a bit. "Brown hair…" He whispered.
Chelsea nodded. "…Brown eyes…" She listed as she stared at the new boy.
"…Fair skin…" Eddie listed next.
"…Dark colored clothes…" Stated Chelsea.
"…Long jacket." Eddie finished.
"Oh my God, Eddie….it's that guy…that guy that tries to kill Reid and his friends!" Chelsea whisper-yelled in shock and fear.
"Left side, fourth row up." The teacher instructed the new student when he found an empty seat for him.
"We're gonna have to warn Angel." Eddie whispered to Chelsea. She nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, we have a new student to join you, Chase Collins. Mr. Collins, we are taking notes on-"
Chelsea and Eddie discreetly kept their eyes closely on Chase as class continued.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At lunch at a table, Chelsea and Eddie tell Angel what they saw a few seconds after they sat down with their food.
"Ang…bad news, dude." Eddie stated.
Angel paused in bringing the fork loaded with food to his mouth and frowned at him in caution.
"What?" Angel asked warily.
"That guy you saw in that vision?..." Chelsea then looked over at Eddie worriedly and looked back over at Angel.
"He's here." Chelsea continued.
Angel's eyes suddenly filled with worry. "Now? Where?"
"In our first hour science class….just came in this morning. They said his name is Chase Collins." Eddie stated.
Angel leaned heavily back in his chair and sighed deeply. "Can not believe this…..sometimes I wish you or Chelsea were psychic so I can be the one to say, 'so…what are ya gonna do?' "
Chelsea and Eddie nodded in understanding in a pause before speaking.
"So…what are ya gonna do?" Eddie and Chelsea asked.
Angel closed his eyes and huffed out a laugh. "The only thing I can think of is try to protect Reid and his friends from him when he tries something. This Chase guy obviously has some kind of magic since I saw him literally change into somebody else and his eyes can go black."
Eddie hummed in thought before speaking. "Ya know…..what was the vision showing according to surroundings? Maybe me and Chelsea can help you keep them outta danger by, I don't know….putting them in a different place. You won't be able to always observe Chase's actions at school since you have different classes and other places to be. Between the three of us, you'll have a better shot at keeping them safe."
Chelsea nodded. "Yeah, Eddie's right. When you can't be around him, we can."
Angel looked at them unsurely. "That's a good idea, but….I don't know, are you sure? That could put you in danger."
"He won't try anything if people are around, especially if he has magic, we'll be fine." Chelsea assured.
Angel looked between them as he thought about it then nodded. "Alright, if you're sure. The first scenario I possibly can't always get to is the dorms. He used these spiders to make Kate and Sarah sick and in a coma. With Sarah, Chase went to her dorm at night, changed into Caleb and entered her room. With Kate….it's unclear since it didn't show me how he approached her, but I'm sure he was around her a lot in order to get a spider to her."
Chelsea and Eddie nodded. "Okay, so all we have to do with that is keep Kate busy from hanging out with Chase, and be observant of who is going to Sarah's dorm at night, got it." Eddie said.
"The next one is Pogue speeding down the road on his bike at night and Chase waiting for him in the middle of the street."
Eddie and Chelsea thought hard on this one. "What could he be rushing to? If we knew that, then we could occupy him from having to rush off." Chelsea stated.
"Yeah, I wish I knew. My vision didn't give me that information….oh…wait….if Kate is injured, then maybe he got word of it and tried to go to her? He didn't look like he was speeding to just anyone." Angel reasoned.
"Yeah, good call. If my girlfriend was injured and I wasn't with her, I'd be rushing to her blazing fast." Eddie stated.
"Okay, two down." Stated Chelsea.
"The last one was at an old looking, huge barn. It was raining out, an all-out storm. Caleb and Chase were in front of it having a full on battle it looked like." Angel explained.
"Okay, so we stop Caleb from going to the barn, or at least not on his own." Chelsea said.
Eddie nodded. "Yeah, sounds good. We're all set."
Angel took a deep breath. "Alright…be careful when around him, we don't know what he's capable of. Come get me if the situation seems too serious if I'm not with you." He advised.
Chelsea and Eddie nodded. "Kay, we will. You be careful too." Chelsea stated.
Angel smiled in comfort, and then they continued eating their lunch.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In fourth hour English, Angel and his friends, including his new ones and his boyfriend took their seats after coming from lunch and waited for class to start which was only in a minute. The teacher was also waiting for class to begin, sitting at his desk. Then Chase walked in. Worry filled Angel when he saw the guy from his vision standing right there. The teacher pointed out a seat for him, meaning he was a part of the class. Angel sighed as he saw Chase walk over to the empty seat the teacher pointed out which was quite a few seats from him, thank God.
"Great." Angel whispered to himself. 'Well, now I can monitor him during school at some point, so I guess that's a plus.' He thought.
Chelsea and Eddie noticed Chase too and they met Angel's eyes, Angel meeting theirs back in silent communication that the three of them didn't like that he was actually here. As English class went on, Angel looked over to Chase every now and then, analyzing him, making sure he wasn't doing anything magic related. Feeling eyes on him, Chase actually looked over the room near Angel's direction. Angel looked away and faced his eyes toward the teacher quickly and acted casual. Once he noticed that Chase stopped searching around the room, Angel sighed in relief.
'That was close. Guess I gotta be more discreet even when watching him.'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Two hours later, now in swim class, they were in the last few minutes of class and were doing meaningless fun races, the students choosing who they want to race against. Chase suggested he'd take on Caleb since he's the captain of the swim team.
"Come on, it'll really challenge me….and I always love a good challenge." Chase urged Caleb.
Caleb looked at him as he thought about it then agreed. "Alright, you're on." He said in a friendly smile.
Angel was standing with their group, nearest to Tyler and was sucking on his bottom lip in nervousness since this seemed to be leading towards that one part of his vision. Angel wouldn't do anything yet, though. He'd wait until Chase showed signs of making a bad move. Angel watching closely, Caleb and Chase dived in the pool at one of the coaches' whistle and were now speeding through the water in a propeller stroke. Some of the class cheered them on while some just watched.
As they were coming back, he didn't know if anyone else saw, but Angel saw Chase's eyes go fully black, just like in his vision. Angel's eyes widen, that's when Angel acted. Quickly he muttered softly under his breath, no one next to him being able to hear it from the loud splashes of the water.
"Bankorok, santak, Mantorok."
After Chase's eyes turned black, nothing bad happened to Caleb and they tied. Chase gazed over at Caleb discreetly from his peripheral in wonder and confusion at his spell not taking effect. When Chase and Caleb hopped out of the pool, Caleb patted Chase's shoulder once and smiled.
"That was a great race, you're pretty good."
Chase looked at Caleb and nodded, disappointment going unnoticed except to Angel.
"Yeah, good race." Said Chase.
Angel took a deep breath to calm himself after the close call. 'Geez, that was too close. Knew he would try something eventually today! Gotta figure a way to stop him for good instead of just temporary.'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Four and a half days later, Angel was at Nicky's with Reid, just the two of them on Monday night, no Tyler, Caleb, or Pogue in site. He and Reid were sitting next to each other at a table, holding hands intimately under the table in a conversation.
"-nd we lost em, rounded behind them and saw them looking around for us with these confused faces!" Reid said in a laugh at the end.
He was telling Angel the story when he and his friends got caught having a bonfire on private land by the cops and how Reid got them safely away from getting in more trouble than they wanted.
Angel grinned in amusement and shook his head. "Little troublemaker."
Reid's eyes shined in mischief. "You know you love it."
Angel smiled. "Yeah, I do."
Reid smirked and looked around them, making sure no one from school was there watching them before leaning in to kiss him. The kiss was brief given the surroundings, but passionate and intense.
"I'll go get us something to eat." Reid said, Angel nodded before Reid got up and walked over to the bar.
Angel gazed around the room as he waited for his boyfriend to come back. As he did, he spotted Kate over at a table that was against the wall in the back on the other side of the bar near the jukebox….Chase with her. They were sipping on their drinks while talking. This put Angel on edge. Chase hasn't done anything since Thursday in swim class when he raced Caleb, and Angel hoped it would stay that way. He watched him with Kate closely right then, though, just to make sure he wasn't doing anything suspicious. And sure enough, Chase casually put his arm across her shoulders, black flashing across his eyes for a split second before a spider came out of his hand and crawled on Kate's shoulder. Angel quickly tried opposing the spell.
"Nethlek, aretak, Ulyaoth." Angel muttered softly.
The spider then disappeared in a soft flash of blue. Angel sighed in relief, but that was short lived when he saw Chase look at the spot his spider was once placed in confusion and annoyance, and decided to cast another one on her. Angel frowned and casted his own spell again, making the spider disappear once again. That's when Reid came into view with a tray of their food, sitting back down next to Angel.
"Got ya a burger and fries. Can't go wrong with that, right?" Reid asked in a smile, wondering if what he got for Angel was going to be accepted.
Angel looked down at his food and smiled. "Right, thank you."
"Not a problem, baby." Reid grinned before starting to eat his food which was a quesadilla and fries.
Angel looked passed Reid and back over to Chase and Kate and saw Chase with that disappointed face again.
Angel smiled. 'Succeeded again. Good guys, three. Bad guy, zero.' Angel thought happily.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next day, in Angel's Chinese class, he was working on some spelling of some Chinese words on his paper when suddenly he felt that rush of energy again before his hand seemingly had a mind of its own and started rapidly drawing an image. When his hand came to a stop and the spiritual energy left his hand, his eyes widened in horror down at his paper. It was a sketch of Tyler and Reid in Tyler's hummer. It showed Tyler stepping on the brake pedal at a stoplight of a 3 way intersection.
Then it showed them going in the intersection and getting hit by a pickup truck from the left side. The truck held a propane tank in the back which flew forward straight towards the hummer and exploded at the harsh impact, implying it killed Tyler and Reid. Off to the side of the explosion part of the drawing was a sketch of Chase in the bushes with a chilling smirk on his face. Angel quickly flipped the paper over so it was face down and he let out a breath in dread, very thoroughly disturbed. He just did a psychic drawing of the brakes failing in Tyler's hummer as he and Reid were trying to stop at an intersection and them….dying. Luckily Reid, who sat right next to him, didn't see it since he was asleep, and neither did Eddie or Chelsea since they were focused on their paper. Angel shook his head in an attempt to calm himself.
'I won't let that happen…I won't! I'll follow Reid and Tyler if they go outside to the parking lots and stop them from getting in the hummer when Chase enchants it.' He thought in fierce determination.
Later that day after school, Angel was walking to the buses. He stopped walking when he heard Tyler and Reid's voice. He looked around himself and spotted them walking to the parking lot towards Tyler's hummer. He also saw Chase across the school yard and was looking at the hummer. He couldn't tell when his eyes went black, but he knew they did since after looking at the hummer, Chase left. Angel looked back at Reid and Tyler and started quickly going towards them. When he was closer to them, he called out their names. Tyler and Reid turn around to look behind them and smiled at the sight of Angel.
"Oh, hey, Angel, what's up?" Tyler greeted.
Angel acted casual like nothing big was going on…or about to. "Hey, umm, where you guys off to?"
"Gotta stock up our dorm, we're getting low on drinks and snacks. Wanna come?" Reid asked.
"uh, no, no thanks. I heard the grocery store is packed right now, what with Halloween coming and all…people planning parties…so today might not be the best day to go." Angel said then sucked his bottom lip.
Tyler furrowed his brows in confusion. "It's not packed. It doesn't get packed for Halloween till next month."
Angel unnoticeably deflated. "That's what I was told by someone…" He said then sucked his lip again before speaking again.
"Why not go tomorrow?"
Reid looked at him with questioning eyes. "We gotta go today. There's only two bottles of water, a packet of ramen, and a bag of chips. You're doing that lip thing an awful lot…something got you nervous?" He said, worry bubbling up at the thought of something bad possibly happening to Angel.
Angel's eyes widened a bit in surprise at Reid catching on that something was wrong. He tried to throw them off the trail.
"No, no, just habit….How about I get your groceries." He thought out of the blue, desperate to not let them drive in the hummer right now.
Tyler blinked in surprise and Reid turned his head slightly and furrowed his brows, even more confused.
"You….get our groceries? Why?" Tyler asked, not understanding why Angel was suggesting that.
Angel rapidly tried coming up with a good reason. "Uuuh…to get it off your hands. Ya know, a show of gratitude…for…inviting me in as your friend and treating me so well, heh-heh." He briefly laughed nervously, hoping they bought it. Geez, he was a terrible lier.
Tyler looked at Reid, who shrugged feeling just as confused as Tyler did. Then Tyler sighed. Tyler knew Angel was trying to distract them from something, but Tyler couldn't figure what, so he dropped it.
"Alright, if you really want to. I got the list here on my phone, you can copy it down." Tyler said as he got out his phone.
"Great." Angel said in a relieved smile, Reid observing him closely, really wanting to know what was up, since he felt something was wrong just from how Angel was acting; all jittery, nervous, and…almost scared.
Once Angel got the grocery list down in his BlackBerry and put it away, Tyler patted Angel's shoulder with a smile.
"Thanks, kid. We got more time to do some things we planned now that, that's out of the way." He stated in gratitude, despite how suspicious it was.
Angel smiled up at him. "Yeah, no problem,"
After Tyler and Reid passed Angel, Angel looked towards the hummer and muttered softly.
"Antorbok, magormor, Chattur'gha."
The spell casted by Chase on the hummer's brake system that made it broken and no longer work was now fixed. Since it was relatively quiet out, and Tyler and Reid weren't out of earshot yet, they heard what he said and turned around to gaze at him.
"Did you say something?" Tyler asked Angel, who turned towards them and blinked in surprise.
"Eh, no, I didn't say anything really. Just mumbling thoughts out loud…ya know." Angel said, and then sucked on his lip.
Reid gazed at him contemplatively. "Okay, see you later." He said as they walked away again towards the dorms.
Angel waved. "See ya!" When it was clear they were no longer focusing on him, he sighed.
'I can not believe how close that was! If I knew how close they still were, I would've waited to cast the spell. I'm just glad I stopped a tragedy, that's all I care about right now.' Angel thought as he walked towards the buses again.
A ways away now, Tyler spoke to Reid as they continued to walk to the dorms.
"You did hear what I heard from Angel as we were walking away, right?" Tyler asked.
Reid nodded. "Yeah, I did happen to hear that. It was very strange words. Antorbok, mago- something."
"Antorbok, magormor, Chattur'gha, I think….whatever that means." Tyler stated.
Reid shrugged. "It may just be another language we can't identify. Probably a language he picked up. He does like foreign languages, so…"
Tyler nodded. "Yeah, you're probably right. Awfully strange, though. He seemed really eager to stop us from getting in the car and going to the grocery store, that plus the weird language….it raises a few suspicions. I like the guy, but something went on there that he's not telling. That was just too weird for an everyday quirk."
"It wasn't. I know him well enough to know that was not his usual antics. He's never spoken that language before or acted so jittery and nervous and desperate. He even seemed almost scared…like something bad was about to happen. Something was definitely up with him, and I intend to find out later." Reid stated.
"I'll ask Caleb and Pogue about the language, see if they can make sense of it…or at least track down what language it is." Tyler stated, Reid nodding.
