I sit down in the chair next to the house phone. Gabe really knew how to tell 

the difference in my tone. Letting out a sigh I try to remain calm. Although

 my eyes kept watering as the tears kept falling. 


"Don't bring him back to me at all. Abel can't be near me...I am a danger to 

him now."


 I could hear Gabe telling Abel to go play with some toys from the other

 room, he'd tried to sneak back into the room.


 "I went for a walk today to calm myself down. While out I was attacked by

 random demons. Not that random demons aren't bad enough then 

Samuel shows up as well. He actually killed off all those other demons. It 

wouldn't be so bad if that is where it all ended. Samuel raped me today."


 By the time I finished explaining it, I realized I spoke about demons without 

thinking. Oh shit I hope he didn't think I was insane. There was a long pause 

before I could hear Gabe take a deep breathe.




Honestly I didn't take the news of angels and demons so good at first. 

Hopefully he took this news better than I did. On the other end I can hear the

 phone being sat down. Gabe can be heard telling his wife to make sure Abel 

stays in the other room. I hear him walk back over to the phone. 


"You need to find a way to keep Samuel away from you. I'm sorry Katerina.

 If I'd known any of this would've happened, I would have never offered that

 job to you." 


Gabe was crying on the other end of the phone. I could hear him trying to 

calm himself down.


 "To be honest I knew he was a demon but that never stopped him from 

having a code of conduct. You are probably wondering how I even know

 about Demons. I learned about them when I turned ten. My mother was 

dating a demon who ended up killing himself. When we found his dead

 body, it had gone back to his demonic form after death. That is when 

people showed up to clean up the body. One of those people happened to be

 Samuel."


 Wow, I knew he'd know Samuel for a long time but not that long. If he really 

had a code of conduct then where the hell was it with me? Gabe wiped his

 eyes trying not to let himself be too emotional at the moment.


 "I will make sure to keep Abel safe. Just worry about yourself."


 That was easy to say but doing it was another story.




We talked for another hour then ended the conversation. Gabe planned on 

taking Abel on a trip with his wife. Hopefully that would get them far away 

from this entire mess. As I sat there my body felt numb. All the shock from 

the day was wearing me thin. Forcing myself to stand up I walk into my room.

 I fell on the bed not even caring. I was partially off. There had to be a way to 

keep a demon away from you. Perhaps the angels had a deterrent for the 

demons that Josaline would know about? I'd fallen asleep before even 

realizing it. The morning sun shined down onto me, waking me up slightly. 

Laying still half off the bed I just stare at the wall. How was I even supposed

 to ask her about this subject? Josaline would probably freak out on me if I

 told her what Samuel had done. My entire body hurt so badly today. The 

wound on my back was clung to the shirt that he'd given to me.




Why did I have to go for that walk yesterday? Wondering about the what if's

 and should have done will not help me right now. Forcing myself up I cringe

 from the dried blood pulling at the skin while taking off the shirt. Maybe I 

should've  put his shirt back on since this one is ruined now. Looking at

 my shirt I feel sick to my stomach again. I ran to the bathroom throwing up 

in the toilet. My knees give out as I just fall in front of it trying not to cry 

again. No matter how much I would cry it wouldn't change a thing. I needed

 to work on how to ask my grandmother for a deterrent on demons. Holding

 onto the cabinets next to the toilet I force myself up. My body had better 

listen to me no matter how weak it felt at the moment. I take a shower 

quickly so as to not fall in it, then I go get some clothes to put on. Since I 

wouldn't be able to bandage my back it was best to just wait till at Josaline's

 house. Although the image of her yelling at me wasn't a pleasant one. 

Walking from my room there is still a sting from the clothing rubbing against

 the freshly cleaned wound. Being an angel sucked ass. There should at least 

be a perk to dealing with all this bullshit.




Usually I would have laughed to myself but not today. I sent my grandma a 

text telling her I am coming over. It said not to yell at me and be ready with 

first aid. Even though this was going to have her insanely pissed off at me it 

was unavoidable. I grab my keys from the table as I walk past it, then I lock 

the door. My cab was already waiting for me out front. When getting into the

 cab I had to take a second glance at the driver, it was the same one as last

 time. He gave me a warm smile asking the location. Telling him the same 

location as last time, he nodded then started the car. It was nice that this 

man had a good memory. Although it could be since I was such a weird 

passenger the other time. He had some soft music playing that was very

 calming. It was nice being able to just relax slightly on the ride. When we

 arrived the man looked at me.


 "Be careful. You seemed really out of it last time. Hope whatever is

 bothering you is settled soon."


 I smiled gently to the man, paying for the ride. Walking up to the gate the 

gatekeeper didn't even ask who I was this time. He sighed just pushing the

 open button as he went back to eating lunch.




Once inside the gate I can already see Josaline standing outside the door 

waiting on me. Oh shit here is going to come the third degree. Taking in a 

deep breath I speed up my pace to meet her. As I went to speak she stopped 

me. I was forcibly walked into the house. She instantly noticed the blood on

 my back. 


"Katerina Rangi I swear what have you done child!"


Why did she assume it was my fault? Sitting there I remain silent as she tends

 to the slash on my back. It burned when she washed it with the disinfectant.

 The pain went away quickly though as the cool sensation of medicine 

replaced it. She wasn't saying anything as going to bandage the wound. It was

 driving me insane since the look to her eyes was extremely pissed off. When 

she was done I fixed my shirt just staying still in the chair looking at her. 

Josaline made the servants leave the room, then she sat down across from 

me in another chair.


 "So now that the wound has been tended too. You need to explain to me 

how and why you came here like this. If you leave anything out I swear you

 will not like me."


Shit was there really no other option but to tell her everything. My body was 

starting to tense up some just thinking of everything. I was trembling without

 realizing it.




My grandmother sighed, getting up and placing her arms around me.


 "Calm down little one. I am here for you. You just have to tell me what is

 going on."


 Would she be angry at me for what happened? Josaline was the only family 

other than Abel that cared about me. If I lost her too it would break me. I'm 

silent for a while as her embrace calmed down my trembling body.


 "Okay but please sit down first?"


 She did as I asked but took my hands in her own. After what felt like hours, I 

was done explaining everything to her. Against my better judgment I even

 told her about being raped. Josaline just held my hands silently. Her 

breathing was heavier as I looked up to see her crying. 


"My poor little one."


 Come on now grandma I didn't need pity right now. What I needed was a 

way to keep him away from me. Reluctantly I make her let go of my hands. 


"Is there a way to keep him away from me or not?"


 She sat there silent for a moment thinking then stood up. 


"Follow me, there is one thing but I am not sure how well it might work."


 Anything was better than being his toy.




She led me to her room on the second floor. Entering the room she instantly

 closed the door behind me. Josaline walked over to her dresser pulling out 

the last drawer hitting a switch to open a hidden door. This didn't even shock

 me at the moment to know there was a hidden door. I followed her down a 

hallway, it led to a small room. In the room there was only an old trunk in the

 middle of the room. Watching I just walk a little closer. Josaline opened the

 trunk getting out a small bottle. It had black liquid in it that was swirling as if

 alive. 


"This is the blood of the original demon who shed the blood of innocents on

 earth. I'm not sure how long this will work for you but it is worth a try. 

The only thing to warn about it the fact your powers might start showing 

themselves."


 To be bluntly honest it would be nice to have power to fight back. She held 

the bottle just looking at me with a pained expression. Had she used this 

before I wondered?




Walking over I give her a faint smile taking her hands with the bottle.


 "It will be alright grandma. Don't worry too much please?"


 Josaline let go of the bottle, giving me another glance before leaving the 

room. Leaning down I see there really is nothing else in the trunk. So did this

 mean the whole bottle was needed or just a little? I walk out of the room to 

see Josaline sitting on her bed. She had another bottle ready for me. Thank

 goodness I didn't need to use all of this demon blood. I walked over to sit 

down next to her. She explained that I need to use two drops. I'd have to 

actually drink it down without wasting any of it. In the back of my head I was 

scared to drink demon blood. The fear of drinking the blood was outweighed 

by the fear of Samuel touching me once more. Taking a dropper, I get two 

drops into my jar. Josaline told me to take it when I got home. That way I was 

alone incase of a backlash of power surging.

Wow, you really know how to turn the traumatic mood with this. Funny, I was thinking of a weapon she might get from Josaline but that blood potion is interesting.
Strength : +50
Speed : +50

Def : +100
Its payback time!
