The building was in perfect condition, but books had been tossed aside and lay open on the floor. There was a thick layer of dust which made it so he could see where Flower had went, she had gone to the library according to William. Vince followed her footsteps as he made his way to the library, there he found her she had a book open, Love stories over the ages, She was scanning through it.
"I always wondered why they had that book in the library.." Will said crossing his arms and seemingly leaning back on something. Flower ignored him and continued to flip through the book, she found what she was looking for and set the book down. Vince walked over to the table and saw what she had flipped the book to. It was talking about a Sela and Fred Spring, how the two died fighting for the people they loved.
"Will, Who woke up first Spring or Fred?" Flower asked, Will paused and thought for a second.
"Spring, he scared the crap out of me..." Will replied and Flower flipped the book around and pointed to the text at the bottom, Which read:
Sela died first, a few minutes later Fred Followed the same fate.
"Well Fred did wake up a few minutes after Spring..But Spring considered Fred older..." Will said, while Vince looked at the illustration, realizing that the pictures didn't look like what Lilly or Flower had described.
"But the Illustrations don't look like what you or Lilly described.." Vince pointed out, Flower smiled and flipped the page back one and it show the Illustration of Sela, near a purple haired man, who had a gray boar hound at his side.
"But do these two look familiar?" Flower asked and put her hand on the dog and the whole scene change around them. They where in a forested area as the Purple haired man was following the dog behind him followed the man that Lilly had described. Sela and a man that looked like him, behind him trailed a woman in a buckskin dress, she had one of her eyes closed. She stayed beside Sela, and the image faded away. Flower lifted her hand, and closed the book, she picked it up and went back to a shelf, and pulled out a different book. She opened the books and the pages swapped themselves around, she closed them and put the Love Stories over the Ages back. Picked up the other book and took it back to the restaurant, Vince followed she set the book down on the floor of her room. "You do realize you can't tell anyone about this?" he nodded, and she left him alone in her room, he left and ran into Spring who was trying to get Plushtrap out of the rafters.
"Come on, Get down!" Spring called and the child responded by climbing higher, Vince smiled watching the little plush disobey his father. He stretched his wings out and flew up into the rafters, he dat down on one of the beams and the small plush crawled up to him and he let him crawl onto him. He slid off the rafter and glided down with the little plush in his hands. He handed him to Spring, and Spring scolded the small plush, Before looking at Vince curiously. "How did you..."
"I look like someone he knows, That's how." Vince replied, and Spring looked curiously at him.
"And Who's that?" Spring asked, and Plushtrap crawled out of his arms, and went back to climbing up Vince. Vince surprised him by letting Plush do that,
"I'll explain later, Meanwhile we need to figure out what we are going to do with your kid." Vince replied letting Plush climb on him, Spring was more surprised that Vince didn't mind the kid on him. Plush didn't mind Vince moving him every so often either, which completely surprised Spring.
"How about we find Mangle?" Spring suggested, and Vince shrugged
"Sure." They walked around a little bit and soon Violet saw Vince and smiled.
"You look exactly like Tech!" She said and Spring flicked his ear at the name.
"Shh, please I finally got him to sleep," Vince hissed at his sister, and Spring realized he was right and was cradling the sleeping Plush. "Anyways do you know where Mangle is?" He asked quietly, and Violet nodded.
"She's at kid's cove with Maggie, they've converted it into a room for the kids." Violet smiled and Vince nodded, And walked off towards kid's cove, Spring trailed behind him. Mangle was just exiting the room as Vince walked up. She opened the door, and he walked in, she shut the door behind her half expecting the kids to run out. Vince emerged and quietly shut the door behind him, he walked off and the robots followed him. He walked up to Violet, Spring followed him.
"Okay now will you explain?" Spring asked, and Vince shrugged
"I look like Tech, the Angel of technology..." Vince replied calmly, and Violet smiled.
"His grandfather" She said, and Vince looked at her confused
"My what?" ((Vince))
"Your GrandFather Vince, he told me so." ((Violet))
"But he's not Will's, so he's Sarah's Father?" ((Vince))
"Yea.. I thought you knew." ((Violet))
"But Flower said I wasn't related to him" Vince said and Flower walked over to him,
"I never said that, I said you weren't related to Argos' Master, not Tech" Flower shot at him, "But other than that Violet is correct, You are related to Tech."
"See even Flower Agrees with me, plus you really do look like him." Violet suggested and Flower nodded, She jumped and landed as a cat and slid across the floor. She ran up to Lilly and pawed her leg, Lilly looked down at the cat version of Flower as she ran off. Lilly changed into her dog form and chased after Flower. Who ducked under a table, Lilly stopped and laid down, wagging her tail she spoke in her strange language. Flower jumped out from under the table as Lilly tagged her, she stopped for a moment, and was letting Lilly get a head start. Then she shot off, "I have a feeling they are playing tag.."
"They are.." Vince replied as a white deer came prancing in quietly, it surprised Harry as it weaved around him, the two stopped and was looking at something. Vince saw it and looked at what the where looking and stopped, it was Whisp. "What is Whisp here for?"
"I would run if I where you...She's possessed.." Said a voice, and Vince looked around, it was Tech.
"But how is that possible? I mean your Angels.." Violet said, at this point Spring could see Tech in greater detail, he did look like Vince sort of.
"Kid, look, just because we seem invincible, doesn't mean we are..." Tech replied as Flower shot out the door and pounced on Whisp, and was yelling something at her. Whisp calmed down, but began coughing, Tech's eyes widened, "Pollution, Its the opposite of the Northern Wind.." Tech said breathlessly, and Vince looked at him. "If we can't save her she will die..."
"Tech Calm down" Vince said and the angel's attention snapped back at him.
"How can I? This is the Brother's first Angel daughter!" Tech shivered, but Flower was losing the battle outside, she resorted to using her fire to protect herself. Vince looked outside as Flower was consumed by her own fire, there was a bright flash as something replaced Flower. It was large and covered in scales, Tech gasped, and the thing lowered its head down. And picked Whisp up in its mouth, and began to walk away. Tech disappeared and saw where it was heading, he turned to Vince. "She's heading to the mansion.."
"We have to stop her!" Vince disappeared and reappeared outside the mansion's property line, Tech appeared beside him as flames lit up the sky. The dragon version of Flower had crawled up and wrapped itself around the top of the mansion. It spread its large leathery wings and launched itself off the top of the mansion. Something inside Vince told him to help her, he was surrounded by ice as his body began to freeze over and change. Beside Tech now stood a white and snake like Dragon, Vince could sense that something was after Tech, he flipped around. A multicolored demon that flickered and glitched out, Tech turned around and saw the demon, his eyes widened, and he spread his wings. But they locked up, Tech struggled to move, as Vince realised that there where two demons after Tech. Tech was struggling against the one holding his wings, the dragon version of Vince swatted it off him. Tech's wings where the demon had held them had begun to corrode, Tech seemed worried, but also ready to fight. He clicked his hand and a sword appeared out of nowhere, but Vince had decided that he wasn't going to let the angel fight, and Froze him. Vince begun to attack the demons, breathing Ice he froze the two of them but they disappeared before he could do anything about them.
--With Whisp and Flower--
Flower had finally managed to take the possessed angel out of the sky and held Whisp in her ((Flower's)) mouth. But she wasn't bitting down, she was just lightly holding her. She stopped and went to Whisp in the mindscape, Whisp was of course there and saw Flower. She was scared, but Flower walked calmly up to her.
"For my plan to work I need your full trust, I need you to put all of that in me, You cannot doubt me at all or it will not and you will die." Flower said calmly, and Whisp looked at her terrified,
"How can I put my trust in an Impure?!" Whisp demanded, Flower seemed upset by the Question but did not let that slip into her voice.
"Tech has, Even some of the other angels, I have my full trust in them, because they have their full trust in me." Flower replied and Whisp looked at her before coughing on her own breath, "I can help you, please you just need to understand that this requires trust and not a hint of doubt." Flower said stretching out her hand, Whisp looked at her skeptically, before sighing and taking her hand. Flower's eyes lit up, and she disappeared, Whisp looked around confused. Flower in her dragon form held Whisp in her jaws, and took a deep breath and breathed fire, Over Whisp. Something flew out in the fire, and disappeared, Flower stopped and set Whisp down on the ground as she turned and faced the large mansion. She sat down and wrapped her dragon wing around Whisp, as a figure appeared beside her. A angel that she recognized, but she kept her eyes off him and on Whisp. He stood on the opposite side of her and was looking at her, he stabbed a small dagger into her right eye. But she didn't care, she kept her eye on her wing. Tech ran over followed by Vince ((Who is now normal)), Tech stopped when he saw the other angel, Vince did to as the angel's bright green eyes landed on him. Tech looked at Flower who was curled around something, but he couldn't see what.
"Insanity Leave her alone." Tech growled, and there was the sound of mechanical whirring behind him. He smiled as Flower fell limp, her head lay on the grass. Vince could see her eye was missing, and that she was exhausted. Insanity laughed,
"Oh dear you know she killed Whisp?" Insanity smiled kicking Flower's limp wing. Tech jumped back,
"You're wrong, she would never!.." Tech exclaimed, and Insanity nodded, as Flower lifted her head and wasn't looking at the two Angels, but behind them. Walking out of the forest was a woman, she had no facial features, only bright white eyes, her hair was blowing in her face and she wore a long dress. Flower lifted up her wing and Whisp was there, Tech straightened up and bowed his head. So did Insanity, the woman looked at the two angels and nodded. The two angels, picked up their heads and she walked up to Flower, who watched the woman with weary eyes. The Woman raised her hand and Flower pressed her Face against it, Whisp was still alive and the woman helped her up. Whisp looked okay, the woman watched as Flower rested her head down on the ground. The blood was dripping out of her empty eye socket, she closed her eye, but her blood pooled beneath her head. The woman kneeled down and put her hand on the Dragon's face, stroking it.
"Rest Peacefully, for you have saved your kin." The woman said but the voice didn't come from her but from the wind around them. Vince watched in awe as all four angels dissapeared, Flower returned to normal and kept her eye closed but blood was still dripping form the wound. She looked tired, and she stumbled out of the property, and disappeared, Vince followed her and reappeared in her room at the restaurant. She fell asleep leaning against a wall, Vince left the room and walked back out of the saferoom. When he ran into Violet, she hugged him and messed up his hair with her hand as always. She looked at him, with his left eye still closed after the encounter with their uncle.
"I saw that there's an abandoned town behind here, I kinda want to go and look around." Violet told him, and he smiled
"Sure Maybe I'll take you." Vince replied, and Violet smiled,
"Knew it." She said, apparently she had been guessing his thoughts, he put his hand on her head,
"Of course you did." He said and she pushed his hand off her head. Spring was watching to two siblings react to each other when something caught his eye. Something on Vince's wrist, but the rabbit didn't dare ask, because he knew what it was. Violet dropped Vince's hand, and smiled,
"Because I know you way to well," Violet said, and Vince rolled his eye, ((Since he has his other closed))
"Says the Assassin." He said and she looked at him and hit him lightly on the arm,
"If you want to go that way, then, says the person, who at the age of ten killed Seven people. At the age of eleven killed four more people, and saved me. At the age of twelve killed two people, aswell as the age of fifteen killed six more. And at the age of 18 killed five kids." Violet retorted, and Spring had begun to add up how many that actually was ((31 people)).
"Yeah Thanks for restating my entire criminal record, You are no help." Vince shot back and Violet smiled
"That's what I am here for!" Violet replied, but then looked at him seriously, "But about my record, The first one down was a preacher's son, and the last one down was an Englishman."
"Wow.. Our family is strange.." Vince replied, and looked at his sister curiously, "How would you kill them? I dunno, I'm just curious." Violet smiled and patted her brother on the shoulder, and winked. "You did not!"
"Well no.. But I used a gun, other than that I had to mostly kill men, so you can pretty much guess where that headed." Violet smiled, and Vince's eye widened, she laughed at his reaction, "Mostly I would meet them at bars, drunk as all hell, so they where easy.. But your way was much more difficult.."
"How many? Since you restated mine, You have to restate yours." Vince smiled, and Violet thought,
"20 I think.." She said, as two kids ran up to her, she hugged them. And Vince waved,
"Hey, Emily, Gabby, How are you two?" Vince asked and Spring was surprised by his reaction to the kids.
"I'm good," Gabby replied, and Emily nodded, Vince nodded. Violet looked at her brother.
"Yeah I forgot to mention, I'm keeping these two.." Violet said, and Vince patted her on the back.
"Looks like you are now a mom, Good luck!" Vince said smiling, Violet rolled her eyes,
"Yeah, I guess so, But I don't mind, Trust me when I say I'm going to teach them to fight just in case..." Violet said, putting her hands on the girls' hair, "In the meantime I have been staying at a house near Harry's, So I don't have to worry about that."
"And Money?" Vince asked,
"Being an assassin had it's perks, I got plenty don't worry." She replied, as Emily and Gabby walked off, Vince's eye landed on Spring, who was leaning against a wall in the hallway that connected to the one he and Violet where in. And realized that the rabbit most likely had heard their whole conversation. He said good bye to Violet and walked past the rabbit and into the reading room. He found the box of flash drives, and pulled one out, it was labeled, Spring and William. He quickly put the drive back into the box, he didn't know what to do. The rabbit soon walked in, and picked something off the shelf and sat down. Vince couldn't see what it was until the rabbit had set it down. His employee file, Vince didn't want to look at the file, until Spring pushed it at him.
"You might as well read it, your not alive anymore." Spring said, but Vince shook his head,
"No I'm good." Vince replied pulling out the old sketch book that he had found in William's house.
"Why not? It's your file." Spring asked, And Vince glared at the File,
"I'm betting that all my Adoptive parents put in there is good things, and I prefer not to remember those." Vince shrugged, and Spring cocked his head, "Especially since they are both dead."
"Why does it matter? I mean so are you." Spring said and Vince ignored him, Vince put the sketch book back, "You're afraid of something aren't you?" Vince looked at him and looked shocked.
"How did you?.." Vince said trailing off in shock, Spring shrugged,
"You act the same way as Will did when he was afraid." Spring replied, and Vince seemed uncomfortable. "Plus I didn't know about the criminal record thing, but at this point I really don't care." Vince sighed, and Spring looked at him curiously. "I had no idea that you liked kids."
"I do, but Issues from my past don't completely allow that.." Vince sighed, and pulled a different book out of the shelf, "Huh...That's new..." He flipped it open and scanned through it, it was a bunch of guides on The Hall of Memories, and people in it, as well as Bloodlines for the angels. He flipped it to Tech's bloodline section, and began looking through the names, he saw that Tech's name had a line down from it that lead to Sarah's name. Which then connected to Will's, and a line that lead to Vince's name. "Huh...I didn't know that I have living relatives...Sarah's sister's son.." Vince said absent mindedly, and Spring looked over his shoulder, and saw the lines, and the name that Vince was pointing at. Vince set the book down and opened it to the Brother's Bloodline, and saw that Flower Had been recorded differently. She wasn't connected to any of the other lines, her name just floated freely. Kaynine's name was connected to Mary Ann's but after their kids, ((Cooper, Gary, Luna, Sunny, Sam, and Megan)) it hit a line and continued to Lilly. Vince for some strange reason didn't like how that Bloodline was set up.
"Nice of them isn't it?" Flower said from the door way, and Vince shut the book. He looked at her, she sighed and walked away. Spring looked as if he wanted to say something but didn't get the chance. Vince put the book back, and followed her, she was talking with Violet of their trip to the abandoned town. Saying that since she had lived there that she could help.
"But you look...well not modern.." Violet said and Flower smiled, seeming like a whole different person she said,
"Don't worry about that, I got it covered, plus if Vince is coming we'll have to bring Spring." Flower replied, and Vince walked up to them,
"Oh..yeah, I forgot about that.." Violet mumbled, "But how are we going to take a giant mechanical being, out of the restaurant and into withered away houses?" Flower smiled at Vince, as the two shared a private joke.
"He won't like it but, We have a plan." Vince answered, and Violet smiled, "But since it is the weekend, we can head out during the day tomorrow."
