How will she adjust to this change? Well read below to find out!
Chapter Thirty-Three
What did you do?
The Disciples watched as Angela screwed her eyes shut and clenched her taloned hands.
Seth and Diablo stood around her trying to keep her calm, but Angela was deaf and blind to all around her as she tried to take it what had happened to her.
"What have you done to me!?" she cried, then her voice got shriller and louder "What the fuck did you do?"
She looked at Seth and Diablo who both looked worried as well as ready to pounce on her to stop herself from causing damage.
"Angie." Seth said "Trust me when I say, I didn't want to do this! But…but we had to! It was the only way to save you! Just like how I had to be saved!"
Angela looked at her hands then at Seth.
"You consented to this?" she demanded.
Seth nodded.
"Just as you consented to me being mutated because you didn't want me to die!" he said.
Angela then remembered when she had agreed to let the Disciples mutate Seth so he would live, and now the same thing had happened to her.
"Why? Why did you do this?" she asked, "Why did this have to happen."
"We have an explanation, as well as those to blame Angela." Diablo said and Angela turned to face him, glaring daggers at the Raven.
Diablo was taken aback by her look, but he continued to speak.
"As you started to leave the Baseball field, a speeding car knocked you down." He said, "You were beyond help by human ways."
"Indeed yes." Chastity spoke "You suffered damage to your brain as well as broken bones and even spinal injury, so by a miracle you did survive, you would be a vegetable."
Angela went pale as she listened.
"You were lucky to even make it." Diablo continued "We gave you the water, but then, you made no movement, and we believed we were too late, but then luckily the mutation took place and now you are one of us."
"One of you?" Angela asked "One of you? You expect me to join you after you did this to me?!" she demanded.
The Disciples winced a little and Seth looked awkward whilst Diablo looked appalled.
"Well." The raven frowned "What are you going to do? And where will you go now you are this?" he asked gesturing to Angela's form.
"Good question actually!" Ravage muttered to Lamia who nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, he's got a point." She spoke.
Angela glared and was about to answer but she couldn't think of what to say back.
"You're now a mutant." Diablo said, "And the humans will not accept you, you are safer here with us, and we can look after you."
Angela stared at Diablo and blinked then lowered her head as it started to fully sink in.
She was no longer a human, but now a mutant, and she had to accept that reality.
She sat there for a long time taking a few deep breaths as she tried to think about her situation and about her parents.
She wondered how devastated they would be about her situation, and what had become of her.
As much as she felt lonely and that she couldn't talk to them or tell them anything, it didn't mean she didn't love them.
And what of her workmates at Subway? They would start to wonder what had become of her.
As Angela sat there in silence, the Disciples watched her and wondered what she was thinking.
Regan looked up at Chastity and pulled on her top to get her attention to which the dove looked down.
"Is she alright?" the Vampire bat asked.
"I hope so little one." Chastity replied, "She's just very upset right now, just as Seth was when he first mutated, yet he had no-one to go back to as his family was lost in that fire, Angela is a different matter."
"She's lucky to be alive." Regan said.
"Yes, but because of her new form, she has to make a lot of changes." Chastity said.
"That is very true." Samson said, "We all had to make the change, although some of us embraced the change faster than others."
"I know I did!" Ravage said as he looked at his extra hands "Best thing that happened to me!"
"And to me." Lamia said, "Even though I lost out on what could have been a bright future when I was human, after I was almost killed, I was grateful to be alive."
Rex nodded then looked back at Angela.
"It will take a while, but hopefully she will come around and we will give her support, if she allows us."
Angela sat on the floor resting her head in her hands and she felt the tears fall.
Seth and Diablo stood nearby and watched.
"Do you need a moment with your thoughts Angela?" Diablo asked.
Angela didn't answer but kept her head down and her wings automatically wrapped around her as she hugged her knees.
"I take it as a yes." Seth hissed as he looked at the Raven.
Diablo sighed and nodded then looked over at the other Disciples.
"We must give her time." He said to which the others agreed.
Diablo then frowned as he looked over at the drunken boys, both still unconscious and tied up.
"So, these are the kids who were in the car?" he asked as he flexed his talons.
Samson and Rex nodded.
"Far too young to be driving!" Rex growled "If I didn't know any better, they decided to get drunk and steal a car then go on a joyride!"
"How can some kids be so stupid and irresponsible?" Samson asked.
"Sometimes they think they're invincible, or just don't care when it comes to other people's welfare and safety." Lamia said "They live only in the moment!"
"Well." Diablo smirked "They have had a thrill this evening, but it's about to turn sinister! As they will wish they never committed such an act tonight!"
Seth nodded as he knelt to the two boys.
"I agree!" he said, "They destroyed a young woman's life, and now they will pay the price!"
As he spoke, one of the boys started to wake up and groan.
"Ah, perfect timing!" Diablo smirked.
"Uhhh, ohhhh uggghhh, my head!" the first boy said as he opened his eyes and tried to move but found his wrists and ankles were bound tightly.
At the same time, his companion was also stirring, and he too found his wrists and ankles bound.
"Oh man…what happened? Where are we?" he asked, then he looked up.
"Rise and shine little shits!" Diablo's voice was heard and the boys both blinked and through their blurred vison saw the dark shape of Diablo hovering over them.
"What the? Who are you?" they asked, their voices still slurred.
Diablo glowered and looked at Samson and Rex who nodded and lifted the boys up by the backs of their shirts.
Both boys cried out in shock then shook their heads as they saw Diablo before them.
"Sobered up yet you little pricks?" Diablo hissed.
The Boys blinked then as they vision cleared, they saw the black featured face of Diablo as well as his flashing moonstone blue eyes and they yelled in fear.
"The Raven!?" they cried.
"Correct!" Diablo snarled "The one you saw on the news! The one who punishes sinners who commit the worst crimes!"
If that statement didn't sober the boys up, then the terrifying look of Diablo certainly did as they soon remembered the news speaking about the Raven who had been targeting sinners, mostly the hate groups within the area.
"What the…?" one of the boys cried "What…. why are we here?"
"For a couple of reasons!" Diablo spat "One, you are young stupid kids who decide to get drunk and drive a car! And two! You killed someone!" he cawed the last part out loudly.
The Boys stared at the raven in shock and fear.
"What?" they cried, then one of them went pale is he started to remember.
"Oh God! No!" he cried then looked at his friend "The Car! Mum's car! We went for a drive in it!"
The other boy looked confused but then it came back to him.
"We drove it! We went speeding!" he cried.
"Exactly!" Diablo hissed "You decided to go speeding in a car that didn't belong to you! And you were under the influence! Do you realise what you have done?!"
Seth also glared and joined in.
"You thought it would be cool to get drunk, be a big man! Impress your mates by behaving dangerously! Well, no-one will be impressed now, and what your parents will think of your disgusting behaviour!"
The Boys looked terrified.
"No! No! Please!" they cried "What are you going to do to us?"
"Much!" Diablo hissed "You're going to be paying the price when we return you to the humans and drop you off at the police station! No doubt your prints and DNA will be on the car! The police will think you tried to run away from the scene, but running away never works! Little idiot thieves like you always get caught! And we will make sure of that!"
The Boys stared at the Raven in fear, both too scared and shocked to speak.
"But first!" Diablo spoke again "We will give you our own kind of punishment! For it is what you deserve!"
Regan smirked as she watched and licked her lips hoping she would get her chance to taste the boy's blood.
Diablo then lifted his talons and went to the first boy before tearing off his shirt and exposing his chest.
The second boy watched in fear as the Raven placed a sharp talon on his friend's skin and pressed hard before he started to move it down causing a deep cut!
The first boy gritted his teeth as he tried to hold in his screams as well as squirm, but he was held tightly by Rex whilst Samson held the second boy.
"You're next!" he growled in his ear.
As Diablo was torturing the boys, Angela looked up from her knees as she heard the boys' cries of pain.
As she looked behind her, she saw Diablo standing before the boys being held by Samson and Rex whilst the other Disciples watched.
She was alarmed as well as curious to what they were doing, and she stood up and went over.
"What? What are you doing?!" she cried in horror seeing one of the boys had a couple of cuts given by Diablo on his chest and stomach.
The Disciples instantly looked over in shock.
"Angie?" Seth asked.
Diablo turned to Angela and stood to the side so she could see the two boys.
"See these two shits?" he said "These are the lowlifes! The stupid drunk boys who ploughed into you! They were two drunk joyriders with no care for anyone's well-being and their stupid actions killed you!"
Angela gasped as she looked upon the two young boys.
"They killed me?" she asked.
"That they did!" Seth said, "They were speeding in the car!" he pointed at one of the boys, the bloodied up one, "His mothers' car! Whilst drunk! And they killed you when they ploughed into you!"
"And now we have them at our mercy!" Diablo said, "And If you wish it… you may give them punishment!"
Angela stared with her beak open, and she looked at Diablo then at the two boys….
As anyone would have guessed, Angela didn't take too well to her mutation, and she's really upset and shaken.
Meanwhile the drunk boys driving the car that injured her so badly have woken up and Diablo and his Disciples are in the middle of torturing them, but Angela's stepped in.
Will she join in the torture or will she be against it?
