《Alive bond》Enemy part 1
Advertisement
While Angelica was busy worrying about her meeting with her father somewhere else an angel and a demon was having a conversation. Or to be more precise a demon was talking nonstop and an angel was listening, both completely unaware that their team of duos would soon have a third member.
"I think you are overreacting a bit. Accidents happen every day on the streets."
"Yes angel but not everyone I hit asks me to take them out"
"You hit a lot of people"
"That is beside the point. And she wasn't even paying attention to me. She was just staring at me. I think she lost contact with her surroundings for a moment. And after that, she wanted to meet me again"
"But after what you just told me it seems you suggested it. And she simply accepted"
"Whose side are you on?"
"I didn't know they were sides. What got you so upset ? It is only for a half an hour"
"She wanted something from me. That much I could tell. Her look was so demanding. And it makes me mad not being able to figure out what that "something" is"
"It would be most unusual for her to want something from you considering she has never met you before. Didn't she say she was looking for something? Maybe for some reason she thinks you can provide it."
"Well, she thinks wrong"
"Then you should tell her the next time you see her my dear"
Meanwhile, not far from there behind some trees the wind was howling. For most people the sound was identical to the one the wind makes when it passes through leaves and branches. But it wasn't. Like an animal that changes its shape to match its surroundings, that creature was doing the same. But it didn't have shape because it was only a shadow. There was only a sound and a feeling. And it was hungry. It moved undetected by everyone and it bit, seemingly the thin air, between our two friends who were simply having a conversation.

"Did you feel that?"
"Yes and it was a most peculiar feeling. Something between uneasiness and fear of danger"
"Yes, just like that"
Somewhere else, Angelica was waiting patiently for her audience with God when suddenly.....
"AGH. What happened?"
From her forearm there were clear biting marks and blood was visible.
"How strange. This isn't, 't a scratch of misunderstanding or a cut of insult What could have caused this?"
A few minutes later:
"Greetings Father"
"Hello my beloved daughter. I trust your quest on earth was a success"
"Yes it was. I found something beautiful, mature, and stable with potential"
"That is good to hear, but why are you so nervous?"
"You know of my choice?"
"Of course I send you there although you will have to excuse me for the painful accident"
"I don't understand. You said your plan was to ensure the bonds of humankind then how my choice is related to that cause?"
"You and Anthony will be such good friends. You both have the same need to ask questions. But before I answer I want you to come closer"
Angelica approached and suddenly from within the bit on her arm a dark black substance was removed. Poison. How was she so careless?
"Don't worry. The moment it is removed from your body it is also removed from the bond down on earth. And this is poison is precisely the reason my original plan was altered"
"But from whom it comes this poison? There are more creatures besides humans, angels, and demons? Why are they after me? And how do I protect myself from them?"
"All will be answered when the time is righting. But now you must return to Earth immediately and remain close to Anthony and Raphael at all times. But beware, they must not realize what you are. I fear they are not ready for this kind of information. Trust your instincts to detect the enemy."
"Of course.I will be off now"
"Be careful, my love, for I fear you don't understand how much danger you are in."
