The spawn of original sin

Chapter 4:

Masquerade

''

Jeane ran as fast as he could. He didn't know what was chasing him in the dark garden but he knew it wasnt good.

Who hurts you. The voices howled in unison.

'leave me alone!' jeane cried out as he tripped over a tree branch. He looked up to see once again the tree of knowledge gnarled and rotted. This time the apples were completely gone replaced by fruit with eyes in them.

Who hurts you. The voices call from the distance.

The eyes turn toward jeane boring into him making the boy feel the weight of their gaze.

'go away, no! I don't want this.' Jeane curled up in a little ball and began to cry.

Suddenly a song was heard that calmed him as he felt a hand touch his back.

'my child, what brings you such pain.' his mother liliths voice asked.

Jeane needed her right now. He leapt up and held her close and began crying.

'Mom! Is it true! Am I… not your little baby… did you just… find me.' He sputtered out. Lilith wiped away his tears and smiled at him.

'You silly sweet boy… you were always mine… now wake up.' Lilith kissed jeanes turns away and he opened his eyes to reveal he was in bed wrapped up in plenty of blankets.

The boy first realized that he could sense everyone in the hotel and their emotions. He could feel angels horniness, sir pentious pride, husks annoyance, and the plethora manic emotions from nifty and knew their exact locations… he also knew when they interacted their emotions shifted.

He felll off the bed it was too much… it hurt.

The boy grabbed his head.

'make it stop.' Jeane called only for another hand to touch his back.

'Focus on yourself my dear boy.' Alastor said with an uncharacteristic seriousness about him.

'Whats going on… it was never this strong before.' Jeane called.

'the product of our deal jeane. I gave you plenty of power now your apple has graduated from infant to adolenscence… it is ready to be trained into a full power.' Alastor exclaimed in his radio voice.

Jeane breathed heavily feeling the emotions weigh on his head. 'jeane, try this excerise… start at 1000 and count backwards by decimals of 7'

Jeane did so and it almost drove him mad trying to keep it on track but despite what he thought about the radio demon it worked… he couldn't feel them all anymore.

'Whelp while the others are doing show and tell… I think we should get to showing and telling you how to train up your powers.' Alastor said clicking his staff against the floor.

Jeane nodded his head as he and alastor were engulfed in shadows. Alastor took jeane to the roof of the hotel.

Alastor then turned his back to jeane. Jeane could tell his apple was summoned as jeanes chest was glowing and it had grown twice as big as yesterday nearly engulfing his whole breast.

'how come I couldn't sense you when I was having an overload.' Jeane asked getting ready for anything.

'because apple users can learn a technique to conceal themselves from detection even from other apple users.' Alastor then showed jeane his tendrils.

'now jeane im going to need you to focus on me im going to show you my killing intent and I need you to pinpoint that so that you can properly dodge my tendrils.'

Jeane was taken aback opening his senses to alastor but feeling nothing. 'what are talking about.'

Jeane then felt a rush of red hatred and in an instant a tendril shot forward jeane jumped back and nearly fell off the roof Only to be grabbed by the collar as alastor smiled. The radio demon threw demon back onto the roof.

'it seems the infusion was a complete success.'

'my reflexes, my body.'

'the apple has enhanced your physical abilities by a considerable amount and will do so as you grow stronger.' Alastor said sending out another killer intent.

Jeane dodged again this time not overshotting.

The pair continued this excerise for an hour before jeane was completely tired out. 'I I feel beaten.'

'Your coming along quite nicely. Your almost ready for the metamorphosis.' Alastor said laughing.

'What?'

'That apple of yours has been changing you for a while now and its almost ready to take the next stage…. Your going to awaken to what you really are jeane… and its gonna happen sooner rather then later.' Alastor then turned from jeane and began to summon shadows.

'Wait what am I changing into… why was I sent to hell… who are my real parents.'

Alastors evil grin sent chills down jeanes spine 'So many questions but the answers will come in due time.'

the shadows engulf jeane and the radio demon then they both appeared In the lobby watching as angel was arguing with husk.

'hey fuck you… this won me an adult film award!' He exclaimed at the kat bar tender.

'bullshit, you complain about these films all the time. The acting is terrible too.' Husk said too.

'who the fuck are you to judge my work.'

'your work… you don't even believe In it.' Husk and him stared at each other.

Jeane stepped between them. 'guys stop, were friends arent we. Lets talk about this.'

Husk scoffed then saw the radio demon and turned away. 'im not your friend and this fake pricks.'

'fake, im the genuine article asshole.' Angel flipped him off as he walked away after getting a call on his cell phone.

Jeane frowned as he felt the emotions of fear and dread in angel as he looked at it… jeane knew it was val again.

'hey I gotta go. Val is calling an emergency shoot.' Angel said grabbing his coat walking away.

Charlie stepped between him and the door. 'angel we have a lot of excerises today… can you reschedule.'

'Charlie I know this hotel is important to you but this is my job and I cant keep him waiting. Don't wait up.' even though angel wore a smile jeane knew it was forced. Val always had that effect on jeane. Jeane could feel hatred bubbling inside him as he thought about how valentino treated angel and how angels emotions were distorted and broken after a bad day with him.

Jeane gulped then looked up at charlie was curled in a ball leaning on the door. 'Ugh, why cant angels boss see that we are trying to redeem him. I wish we could get him to let angel have time off so he could spend more time at the hotel.'

Jeane then noticed vaggie. 'Uh charlie… there may be something you can do… you are the pricness of hell.'

Charlie looked up interested. 'so.'

'And you don't really use that authority. Which I love. But you could just demand that valentino give angel time off for the hotel.' Vaggie suggested.

'But thats so mean.' Charlie winced to herself.

'its not mean. Its… aggressively nice… your helping angel by applying some force. I promise it will work out.' Jeane meanwhile felt something telling him it was a bad idea.

Jeane was gonna say something when alastor whispered to him. 'you should go with her.'

'she wont let me go with her to a porn studio.' Jeane whispered back.

Alastor smiled and pointed to vaggie. 'vaggie dear.'

The grey skinned one eyed girl glared at the radio demon 'what is it alastor.'

'if charlie is going into that den of ill repute then may I suggest she take jeane… for safety.' Alastor suggested.

Charlie shook her head. 'no way am I taking jeane into that terrible place.'

Vaggie placed her hand on her lovers shoulder. 'charlie, hes not a baby anymore… he… he can help you if things go south… just for me ok.'

Charlie nodded her head tears in her eyes as she took a straight face and looked at jeane. 'you stay near me and if anyone touches you ill burn them to ashes.'

Jeane nodded his head. The boy followed his sister.

The pair sat in the car on the way to the tower in silence for the first bit.

'so vaggie tells me your not eating… is everything ok.' Charlie asked concerned.

Jeanes mind flashed to the dead sinner and the burst of white light. 'im just not hungry.'

'jeane, I know it seems like I don't want you to be happy but I really want to keep you safe…. Mom tasked me with your safety and I cant let anything happen to you.' Charlie sounded on the verge of tears.

'sometimes I still hear her voice charlie… where is she… why isnt she here… why… why did she abandon us… was I not good enough.' Jeanes mind raced to the idea that he wasnt the son of lucifer and lilith anymore and that could be why she left.

Charlie scouched toward him and leaned on him and cuddled with him.

'what are you doing?'

'your being a gloomy rommie… so you get the cuddle bug.' Charlie cooed in a baby voice bringing a smile to jeanes face.

Jeane placed his head on his much taller sisters shoulder as they cuddled with each other in silence until jeane broke it.

'Charlie… if I wasnt your blood brother… youd tell me right.' Jeane asked needing to know.

Charlie paused for a few moments until the car stopped. 'well talk more after the meeting with valentino promise.' Charlie then opened his door and the pair got out to the porn studio of vee towers.

The pair of them walked up the tower unimpeded and jeane could feel a flood of emotions both positive and negative… it was terrible.

The boy felt sick and he leaned on charlie who held him close.

The pair walked up and entered a room where they saw angel on a bed surrounded by a camera crew filming.

'charlie, maybe we should wait.' Jeane said but before he could grab her to turn back they were spotted by angel.

Angeldust rushed to them. 'jeane, charlie what the fuck are you doing here.'

'we are the heirs to hell angeldust we go where we want.' charlie said in a high and mighty tone. Then leaned in with a friendly whisper. 'we came to talk to your boss to give you more time off for the hotel.'

'no you cant be here. Val will skin all three of us if…'

'angel baby… whats the hold up.' a hispanic accent said in a sickly sweet voice.

Jeane could feel a hundred different emotions from him and if it wasnt for alastors training the boy would probably have fainted from sheer strength of vals emotional depravity. Jeane could see images of what he wanted to do to angel, his sister, and even him.

'ooo, the prince and princess of hell to what do I owe the pleasure.' Val said. The purple skinned moth demon was dressed in a red pimp coat with white fur lining that had red hearts sown into it. He grabbed charlies arm. 'you don't want a part do you… I could make us both a lot of money… maybe even a scene that invovles you and your brother.'

'fuck no!' Charlie pulled her arm away when the moth demon licked it making her cringe.

'Uh mr. Valentino. I would like to request that you give angel dust some time off so that he can work more on his redemption… please.' Jeane watched val look at him with a predatory look in his eye then make a forced smile.

'hey, why don't we talk about it after the shoot… feel free to wait around enjoy the show. Angel ill see you on set.' Val said calmly but jeane could feel the storm of rage inside the moth pimps heart and it sickedned the boy.

Jeane could tell that valentino wasnt the monster angel made him out to be… he was far worse.

They watched as the show was started but as soon as it was starting jeane lost track of charlie who immediately started talking to a lighting guy.

Jeane ran to her 'charlie stop, your ruining the shot.'

'cut! What the fuck!' Valentino turned his gaze to the pair and narrowed his gaze then forced a smile.

Jeane then frowned as charlie waved at him jeane grabbed her 'we cant ruin this for angel. We have to go… please.'

'jeane, its ok… we arent in danger here.' Charlie said as she suddenly slipped on a camera cord which caused a chain of events which started a fire.

Everyone was going crazy and the fire grew fast charlie was terrified but grabbed jeane and tried to pull him away but jeane saw angels bed was on fire and pulled away breaking from his sisters grip rushing to angel through the flames and grabbing him.

'jeane? What are you doing?' Angel dust asked.

'angel… im sorry but please don't be mad at charlie… she just wants the best for you… im gonna get you out of here even if it kills me.' the fire was about to touch jeane as his body began to glow white.

A flutter of wings resounded and a gust of wind rushed through snuffing out the flame causing everyone to stop in fear instead of panic as they watch valentino loom with his wings out. The pimp stands threatening then reaches into his coat and pulls out a long cigarette and puffs on it with a smile.

'angel… a word.' Valentino said his voice teeming with sickly sweet venom as smoke leaks out of his teeth.

Angel gulped but jeane grabbed his hand and looked at him with fear. 'angel don't go… please.'

Jeane could feel angels hesitation and fear. 'I have too. You shouldn't have come.'

The boy then decided to try something… angel was right because of him and charlie valentino was gonna do something terrible but jeane could make sure that angel wouldnt suffer alone.

Jeane focused on the emotional connection between him and angel and found that he could experience everything that angel could not just emotions but thoughts, senses, and even predict his next actions.

'I know angel… im sorry.' Jeane said.

Angel walked off and jeane stayed with charlie.

Jeane watched the door close and could hear what was being said.

Angel felt fear as he talked to his boss. 'Val im sorry.'

A strike, a surge of pain and a renewal of panick of fear… jeane could feel his cheek redden and knew if he was taking the full force he would be knocked off his feet.

'angel do you like making a fool of me.' Vals voice echoed in jeanes head making the fear rise with a flash of anger whether it was his or angels the boy didn't no.

'no val.'

'do you really think that spoiled bitch and her twink brother are gonna be able to help you. Did you think I wouldnt notice you trying to get out of contract.' Each word cut like a knife.

'val I wasnt, please she just gets invovled in things that don't concern her.' another strike making jeane feel pain this time knocking him back. The boy felt something wrap around his neck.

'ive killed bitches for giving me less lip then you angie… your just lucky that your mildly amusing and you make me a lot of money.' Val stated and jeane could feel him pulling on what was on his neck.

'val please.'

A slam against the wall sent waves against jeanes body as he fell to his knees and then the worst happen as he felt hands on him.

'don't forget angel… I own you.'

'val please.'

Jeane could feel the pain in his body even this little bit he took from angel was too much for him and he could feel more anger flooding his body… he looked at charlie who was hyper focused on the door.

Jeane could hear barely anything for a second then the sound of three women singing.

Who hurts you. The boys eyes widen.

'no… please not now.' Jeane felt his body glow.

Who hurts you. The voices sing as the glow begins to brighten.

'1000...993…986…98...no…979' Jeane counted backwards and the glowed slowly disapited until it disappeared.

'if I tell you your fucking 200 guys before lunch you say.'

Angels fear was prevalent 'Yes valetino'

'if I say your working all night in the studio you say.'

'yes valentino'

'and if I say get those two royal twats out of my studio before I cut them in half you say.'

Angels heart dropped and he could feel absolute dread form him. The boy felt his heart nearly. Stop.

'Ill take care of it val… I promise.'

Jeane could feel the light fade as he looked at charlie. The door opened to reveal a beaten angel, a black eye and little blood pooling down his lip.

Charlie began to take full demon form.

'How dare you do that to him!' Charlie was about to charge the smirking val but jeane but grabbed her arm.

'Dont charlie!' He screamed out.

'Jeane why! He hurt angel. Let go of me.' Charlie said.

'No charlie, hes right… you shouldn't have come here. I told you not too, now you made it worse… I know you want to fix everything but you just cant… now grab jeane and go home… now!' Angel commanded and even with the soul link jeane could feel the pain in his heart and in charlies as well.

The boy picked himself up and lead charlie away.

'Were sorry angel… we wont bother your work again.' Jeane lead charlie away.

The pair left the studio and returned to the car. Jeane immediately leaned against the window as he felt his connection with angel still there… the boy decided not to cut it… he would take angels pain all day today… maybe then he could help him.

Charlie began crying to herself.

'charlie?'

'I fucked up big time… didn't I.' She said in her tears. 'I got angel beat up by that horrible boss of his.'

'that wasnt completely your fault.'

'jeane, I just want to help people but I cant even help angel get time off his work because of valentino… what if im just an idiot who cant save anyone.' She hid her face.

'Hey! Don't say that!'

'but its true! Heaven wont listen to my plan? Extermination is in 4 months… and my own brother doesn't even need me anymore.'

'charlie… what makes you think that.'

'don't you think I notice how much you hate being kept at the hotel. I try to make it comfortable and homey but I kow how much you hate I there… and I know you can do great on your own but I don't want to risk something happening without me there to save you.'

'charlie… just because im growing up and becoming an adult doesn't mean I don't need you… ill also need you… your my big sister… weve slept together… bathed together… played together… we are a family.'

'But I have to protect you… how can I do that if I let you wander free… without me there to save you.'

Jeane placed his hand on his crying sisters and held her close. 'you have to trust that I can save myself… youve taught me well charlie… and I know if I ever get in over my head… I have the greatest sister in hell to help me out of it.'

the pair cuddled close as they reached the outskirts of the city.

Charlie cleared her eyes then chuckled. 'youve grown so much… I guess… I always wanted you to be that little guy who would grab at my pant leg and beg for treats from the kitchen.'

Jeane chuckled too. 'too be honest, I could use one of moms devils food cupcakes right now.'

Charlie dabbed her brothers arm with a smile 'you used to eat so many that youd get a stomach ache and id have to snuggle with you and rub your tummy all night.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'remember when we found vaggie and brought her home… how scared she was.'

'she took to you almost instantly.' Charlie admitted…

'I don't know why.' Jeane admitted the pair remembered finding vaggie during an extermination with her throat slit and her eye missing. Charlie began fixing her eye while jeane kept look out. Charlie had gone out to find jeane because he had run off to look for their mother… scared of not having her.

The night they found vaggie after they healed her she instantly pointed her spear at jeanes neck before he raised his hand and froze scared but then she looked in his eye and something took over her. She grabbed him and pulled him to her side.

Vaggie had laid on top of him while holding her spear not letting charlie or any one else get close until morning. It was jeane that was vaggies connection for the longest time before it was found out she and charlie had a connection and they fell in love.

Vaggie never grew out of her love for jeane as she would constantly let her animalist side come out and hold him close to her whenever there was someone dangerous close by.

'Remember when that one lady called me an ugly little twink.' Jeane began laughing at that.

'Oh god, vaggie kicked her ass until she had to regenerate from bits…. She never could control her temper when someone she loves was insulted.'

'shes a lot like you in that regard… thats what I love about you both.' Jeane said.

The pair entered the hotel arm in arm.

'Jeane?'

'yes sis.'

'I think im ready to let you have a little more freedom.' Charlie said with a smile.

'Really how much more.'

'How about 4 hours a day without supervision and you can even go into the city without my permission.' Charlie said.

'You really trust me that much.' Jeane was surprised by his sisters change of heart and cuddled with her.

'yeah, youve shown me In the last couple months that you really are an adult… and its time I treat you as such… now go wash up for dinner.' She ordered and jeane smiled.

The boy walked up to the bathroom then felt a flash.

He could hear angel singing and feel the pain, anger, and fear from his heart.

Everything that was happening at the studio was destroying angel from the inside out and jeane was doing his best to take it on but even he felt it.

The boy took on angels pain and felt a need to save him.

After it was done jeane cut the bond and fell to his knees knowing he left angel to his faint without him.

'angel… im sorry… fuck… im so sorry.' He sobbed softly into his knees.

The boy felt someone walk up behind him. 'why you crying kid.'

It was husk with a bottle in his hand.

'Angel… I got him in trouble with his boss… now I know hes in pain and its all my fault.'

Husk took a drag on the bottle. 'did you want to cause him pain.'

Jeane shook his head.

'did you try your best to make a psycho see reason.'

Jeane nodded his head.

'then you did more then any sane person would dare too. Want my advice stop caring about angel, he doesn't care about himself… hes just fake and will eventually lead the hotel to ruin.'

'Husk… your a slave arent you… like angel.' Jeane said… making the cat demon freeze.

'How do you know that… did alastor.'

Jeane shook his head. 'when you talked about angel I felt a sense of empathy particularly when you brought up valentino… husk… im sorry.'

'well don't be… I made my choices and it lead to this and I don't need you to save me… not that you could… you cant even save yourself.' Husk turned from jeane, took another long drag from his bottle and flipped jeane off on the way.

The boy stood in the hallway feeling terrible when he felt someone tugging his leg. He looked down to see nifty with bathroom cleaning supplies.

'jeane will you give me a hand cleaning all the bathrooms please. They are really backed up today with sir pentious.' Jeane smiled at that. 'Sure thing nifty'

Jeane walked with nifty to the bathrooms and started cleaning with her. 'jeane do you think im crazy.'

'I think we all are nifty.' He admitted wiping down the counter.

'most men who I interact with are weirded out by me and don't like me but you treat me nice you and everyone else.'

'of course nifty… your part of the family.' Jeane said helping clean the bathroom.

'Thank you jeane.' She hugged him and then looked behind him. 'if anything happened to you… id kill a million souls to save you.'

Jeane smiled and patted her head. 'well lets pray for those souls that nothing happens.'

Nifty nodded.

'jeane help! She is gonna kill me!' Sir pentious cried out slithering closer.

Jeane stepped out of the room to see sir pentious running with a crate while vaggie chase after him speeding toward him.

'Help me… she wants to kill me.' Sir pentious said hiding behind jeane crying.

'you stole that from the contraband… you know I don't want you building any weapons.' Vaggie said her spear in hand.

'Vaggie put the spear down and let him explain himself.' Jeane said then looked at sir pentious.

'Whyd you steal the box sir pentious.' Jeane then noticed a feeling of embarrassment and noticed something inside there a small stuffie.

'Vaggie leave him to me… I promise he isnt building weapons.' Jeane said his voice stern.

Vaggie looked like she was about to argue but then nodded her head. 'okay kid I trust you.'

after she was gone jeane turned to sir pentious. 'the stuffie in the box… its yours isnt it.'

The serpent demon shook his head. 'my egg bois actually they each have their own little bird plushie… they like birds think they are gonna grow into them… but one of them was missing and I realized that it might be in one of he crates but when I looked for it vaggie found me.'

Jeane nodded his head. 'why didn't you explain it to her.'

'Because I am the great and evil sir pentious I do not get stuffies for my minions.' Sir pentious exclaimed raising a finger.

Jeane then looked at the stuffy and smiled. 'why get that one then.'

'because my egg boi was so scared at night. He would shake and quiver every night in terror without… so I had to get it what kinda evil mastermind would I be if I let my minions go without.'

Jeane then patted sir pentious shoulder. 'pen… your not evil.'

'what of course I am.'

'No… your not.' Jeane then looked at the egg bois running down with their stuffies while one was looking sad. 'if you were, youd rip that stuffie up in front of him.'

'why would I do that… its mean.'

'pen… I know what you want most… its acceptance… you want someone to love you and acknowledge as great… sir pentious, inventor, mastermind, genius… friend… I acknowledge you as one of the greatest and truest examples that everyone soul no matter how vile has a little good in them and can change through your acts of compassion, love, and care I see you as someone who not only should be redeem but is very close… in fact… I hope to see the day that you become the first of our ranks to enter the pearly gates.'

Sir pentious to tear up as he heard that. 'Jeane, no one has ever talked to me like that before.'

'Its about time someone started… because pen… your a great guy… I like you a lot… your my friend.'

Sir pentious cried as he ran to jeane and wrapped him in a hug then felt a tug on his shirt.

The two looked down to see the egg boi without his stuffy looking up at the stuffy with bright eyes. Sir pentious smiled and reached down handing it to him making the egg demon smile wide as it ran hand in hand with its toy dancing along.

'you know jeane your a bad influence on me.'

'How so.'

'Im beginning to care about the others here… and I don't know how that makes me feel.'

Jeane placed his arm around pen and smiles. 'Thats ok sir pentious… well figure it out… together… now im hungry want something to eat.'

today was going great. Jeane and the group all ate their fill at the table making light conversation with smiles.

But the door opened to reveal a scarred angel… mentally brow beaten and tired. The spider demon wandered to the bar and fiddled for a bottle.

Everyone looked worried for him as he reached for a bottle and took a swig.

He drained the bottle in a second then reached for another.

Charlie decided to pipe in. 'uh angel, your hitting those drinks kinda hard. Nifty made supper come join us.'

Angel turned her scowling still rifling for a big drink and grabbed a big bottle as he was about to drink it husk grabbed it.

'hey!'

'my bar asshole. Don't go rustling through it.' Husk said with a frown.

'why you gotta be so hard on me… just give me a fuckng drink.' Angel demanded grabbing for a drink but getting swatted by husk.

'why are you acting like hot shot when everyone here is obviously concerned about you.'

Angel glared at him. 'fuck you.'

'your drunk… go to bed.'

'hey come on whiskers… don't be that way… I can make you feel great tonight just give me a little bottle of booze.' Angel said flirting playing with husks chest.

Husk growled and slapped his hand away 'you know man, this is why I say your all fake… you don't want to fucking have a conversation… and I will never respect you.'

Angel glared at him 'fuck you, fuck this hotel, fuck everyone in here… I don't need this im going back to the tower… at least there I know no one gives a shit about me.' Angel flipped everyone off as he ran off.

'angel wait!' Charlie yelled running after him but jeane ran between her and him.

'charlie let me talk to him ill bring him back… promise.' Jeane said running out only to be followed by husker.

'why are you coming along.' Jeane asked turning his head back to the flying cat.

'despite what you believe I actually like this gig and costing you guys a patron will get me kicked out for sure.'

jeane was frustrated but he felt something a bit of guilt only a little bit and the boy could tell a lie from husker.

The pair scoured the city for angel for a few hours and eventually after asking a few people and roughing up a couple others found him in a bar.

Jeane and husk walk in and husk immediately goes up to the bar and orders a drink. Hands the man a bunch of bills.

'whiskey.' husk ordered. The bartender handed the cat demon a glass but he immediately grabbed the bottle. 'I meant the bottle asshole.'

jeane meanwhile scanned the area for angel and found him with some sharks drinking and laughing. He was about to walk to him when husk called him over.

'let him drink… get his mind clear… well bring him back when hes black out drunk.' Husk said.

'but thosse guys hes with what if they hurt him.' Jeane asked worried sensing lust in all their hearts.

'they wont… ill take care of them when the time comes… sit.'

Jeane walks up to husk and sits down.

'what I said earlier… about you not saving anyone… I apologize.' Husk said.

Jeane raised an eyebrow. 'is that the whiskey talking.'

Husk smirked. 'Maybe… kid, I cant help but feel free when im here with you…'

'im grateful husk.'

'You were right about me… I am a slave… to alastor the radio demon… so when I see angel acting all happy and fake when I know how much he is hurt… it pisses me off.'

Jeane frowns. 'I feel so powerless sometimes… I want to help you and protect all of you… but I know that I cant do anything when push comes to shove.'

Husk places his hand on jeanes shoulder. 'hey look at where you are… in a bar with a grumpy old tomcat looking for a porn star out of their mind and trying to bring them home all because you care about them… id say that your doing something.'

Jeane then noticed one of the sharks walk up.

'Round of something strong.' He said nodding to the pair as he fiddled with something in his suit pulling out a golden vial then poured It in the drink.

'Oh that fucker.' Husk rose up and ran to the table and punched the loan shark out. 'jeane grab angel and run.'

Jeane shook used his newfound abilities to run to angel and pick him over and sling him over his shoulder then ran out the back.

'What the… jeane, what are you doing here… fuck off im not going back.' Angel said with a cry.

'Angel now is not the time to argue.' Jeane ran out into the alley hearing someone yell after him.

Angel meanwhile fought him and made jeane fall.

The spider demont ried to run but jeane grabbed him.

'Stop angel… why are you fighting us… we only want to help you… were your friends!'

'Because I don't want you to get hurt! Val is… hes… you don't know what hell do to you if you keep helping me defy him.' Angel fell back and cried. 'Jeane… he owns me… my soul… he will kill you all to get me… hes obessessed… so I have to do all this… the drugs… the drink… the flirts… so I can be broken… so he can get bored of me… so maybe… he can let me go free.'

Jeane looked at angel in the eye and smacked him.

'You idiot! What about us huh! We love you! You think we want to see you destroy yourself to scare off some freaky month demon well thats not what we want… angel… hell or highwater your one of us and if val or any of the vees come after us we will kick their asses to keep you safe.'

'Jeane you cant mean that… you don't know what hes capable of…'

'Angel… I promise… I will never leave…' A gunshot sounds as jeane feels a bullet enter his chest… a holy bullet. The boy looks down in fear 'Angel…'

'Jeane!' Jeane feel into angels arms. As the blood began to pool in his mouth.

The boys vision began to blur as he saw the shadows of a garden hanging overhead. The sounds of his friends dying out. Jeane saw husk come in throwing cards and dice with explosive power and angel using a spare pair of arms to lay down suppressive fire to protect jeanes body.

Jeane saw the image of a woman… a woman shaped like his mother walk up to him.'who hurts you.'

Jeane felt his eyes grow heavy.

'Who hurts you.' The woman asked her sing song voice reaching jeanes mind as she layed her hands on his heart.

Jeane felt his eyes close as he felt an image of valentino hurting angel all the emotions of him hurting him and all angel had been through that jeane also experienced with their emotional link… add to that all he experienced in the murder of the sinner and it reached a boiling point as his body burst in golden light.

In the midst of the blinding light a new form was taken place jeane came out now naked and featureless save for pair of golden wings with black tipped feathers and the black hole birthmark on his stomach swirled in a living mass. Jeanes eyes glowed with angelic and fiendish light respectively as his face took a nearly sadistic smile at the shark demons.

'what the hell is that thing.' one of the shark demons yells out.

'I don't know just shoot it.' the shark demon shoots.

Cheers Theme

jeanes angel form rises up floating with his wings: making your in the world takes everything you got.

Bullets fly at his head any that hit him seem to bounce off while jeane doesn't loose his monotone voice or smile: taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

Jeane turns his head toward the shark demons then aiming his hand at them: wouldnt like to go away.

Jeane blasts the sharks with golden light erasing them in one blast: sometimes you want to go where you everybody hates your face.

The shark demons try to run but jeane reaches into his black birthmark spot on his stomach and pulls out a black ball and throws it as it sucks in the sharks toward it crushing them like a mini black hole: and the demons know your rage.

The boy turns his head to the gawking demons: you wanna be in the destroyers, souls all look the same. Sometime you wanna go where everyone will feel your rage.

Before jeane could continue attacking demons angel and husker ran up to him and grabbed his hands.

'Jeane! Stop! Youve won.' Angel cried out.

'Yeah kid thats enough.' Husk said trying his best to pull him away.

'but there are more threats… I must take care of them… then I will go to vee towers and take care of valentino.' Jeane said in a monotone voice.

Angel scrunched up his face then looked away then stirred himself to jeane. 'Jeane no… your not going after valentino…'

'But angel as long as he is alive… your in danger.' Jeanes monotone face began to show tears rolling down his eyes.

'Jeane, its ok… well work through it… lets just go back to the hotel please… this isnt you.'

'Yeah kid remember the hotel…. Your sister… vaggie…. Your friends… us.' Husk said holding his hand.

The tears began roll down jeanes face as they dripped down on the ground 'I don't want to be a monster.'

'Your not kid… your not.'

'What am I… where did I come from… alastor told me that I was found by lucifer not born from him… so what is my origin… and why am I such a failure.'

'Well find that out together… youve helped us out aint ya… let us help you out.' Angel said with a smile.

Jeanes form began to glow and he returned to his normal form this time with a pair of wings that on his back.

'lets go home huh.'

The group all returned to the hotel to find charlie waiting up on them.

Charlie instantly went to angel to hug him and ask for forgiveness and angel forgave her making her cry in acceptance.

'Hey if it wasnt for jeane I wouldnt be here.' Angel said wit a smile. 'Well jeane and his angel blood.'

'Angel blood?'

'Yeah you know, he is your brother and your dad is a fallen angel… show her jeane.'

Jeane come out to show charlie his pair of wings making her freeze as she saw his wings.

'Charlie? Whats wrong?'

'I need to call someone!?' She exclaimed 'Jeane go to bed immediately and don't show anyone else your wings.'

Charlie immediately ran to where no one could see her and grabbed her phone. She pressed the quick dial button with her fathers name on it and heard the dial tone tapping her foot repeatedly.

'Come on, come on, come on.' She egged it on worried.

'Hello, charlie.' Her father asked groggy.

'Dad its me, I need your help…'

Her father seemed to sober up 'Yeah anything'

'You know how you said that those seals you placed on jeanes angelic power were your strongest… what would happen if they were broken…'

'Charlie… what happened…'

'I need your help…. I don't want the angels to take my brother away.'

'Im on my way.'
