Crunch! Crunch! Snap! Two shadows were seen running threw an over grown forest and the full moon above them shone down brightly as if to light their way, how long had they been running was unknow but one thing was known was they were being followed. "There should be a road up ahead and there is a parked car, once we get there then I can take you to the train station." Ray breathed out to Angel who was running next to him who nodded her head as her breathing was heavy, pulling the duffel bag strap close to her body and allowing her eyes to swift around as if she could try to spot anything. A shiver ran threw her body causing her to misplace her footing and crashed into the cold hard ground, "Angel!" Ray yelled stopping and turned looking back at her with wide eyes while she was pushing her self up.

"My body feels so weak....it feels like I am choking on the very same air I am breathing." Angel thought looking down at her hands that held her up from being face first in the cold dirt, tilting her head up when a twig snapping sounded right behind her and she could feel fear clawing at her back like some wild animal on the hunt for its prey. "What is happening? This feeling....like a pair of eyes watching me....freezing me in place...." Angel thought with a chill running down her spine and she gripped onto the ground in hopes it would calm her mind sadly it did nothing. "...Your...the weapon....we...seek..." Voices called from around them as if it was the trees and even the sky its self, "Son of a....This was not part of the plan." Ray spoke pulling a black gun from inside of his long white coat and the word protect written in gold was along the barrel of the gun. "Angel get up and start running! Remember what your father told you!" Ray yelled running up next to her pulling the trigger shooting at something unseen in the shadows thus a low hissing was heard meaning he must have hit something right?

Angel blinked as the sounds of the gun pulling her from her mind and she pushed her self up, "Thats right....I have to keep...running...I can not died here!" She thought stumbling a bit as she tried to run but looked around bitting her lip that ended up her wincing from the small wound she caused her self earlier. "Angel look out!" Ray called out making her raise her head in time to see what appeared to be disks of light heading right for her, "Shit!" She muttered quickly jumping from side to side trying avoid them all, though one of them managed to cut right threw her leather jacket and skin thus leaving blood running down her arm.

Another two sliced her legs in two different places and letting a whimper slip threw her lips as she knelt down to the ground, blood trickled down from her right upper thigh and the calf of her left leg soaking threw the material of her pants.

"Damn it...there must be a way to fight back." Angel muttered reaching up touching her arm where the cut was and pulled her hand back to see blood on her finger tips, staring at the blood shifted her mind back to when her father gave her the gun with the small bag. "Thats right!" She seem to scream in her mind and quickly reached into her pocket retrieving the gun, "Here goes nothing. I hope you assholes are ready to die." She spoke lowly pushing her self up even though her body protested not too. Aiming the gun as best she could in her state and lets face it, she had never shot a gun let alone held one til now.

"Why shoot the gun?" A voice called out from the darkness and laughter followed right after, "Yes she points the gun at us but is afraid of pulling the trigger." Another voice called out making Angel shift her eyes but it could be seen clearly as the gun shook in her hands. Fear was drifting around her like smoke from some cheap cigarettes, "Shut up!" She yelled trying to steady the gun but fear seem to coat her own words.

"Fear us....yes fear us...." Some voices seem to chant over and over making it sound like the voices were coming from all around her, "Angel don't listen to them!" Ray called out but it seem like his voice couldn't reach her and he reloaded his own gun before taking aim to shoot again, this was a fine mess they had gotten into and the odds were against them making it look like they wouldn't be making it out alive. "Why couldn't he be here? Of all the times he is needed he goes and choose another mission."Ray thought with a growl slowly inching his way towards Angel. Time past around them slowly with the only sounds being the voices chanting about fear though it didn't seem to faze Ray at all, Angel stared in front of her still holding the gun up even with her arm shaking.

"Why can't I pull the trigger? What am I so afraid of?" Angel thought her mind racing and tried to pull the trigger of the gun with no such luck, feeling like her finger was just a block of ice when the wind blew her hair back. "....My sweet...little Angel..." A soft voice seem to speak threw the other voices drawing her attention to her left seeing a young woman dressed in a white dress, her very long fiery red hair flowed around her with ease, and her bright emerald green eyes shone brightly.
"...Do not be afraid...my sweet little Angel..." The woman spoke but her mouth never open and as the wind blew again it seem to calm the air around them, "Who are you?" Angel thought which in turn the woman just smiled disappearing into darkness. Taking a deep breath turning her eyes back in front of her as the shaking in her arm came to a complete stop. "..No more...." She muttered pulling the trigger causing her arm to jerk back a bit from the force of the gun firing, howls of pain were heard and the wind started to blow harshly around them.

"That's our cue to get out of here!" Ray yelled dashing to Angel grabbing her hand to pull her along threw the forest, though the voices didn't seem to follow making Angel wonder if she had really hit something but shook her head as pain was setting in from the wounds she had received. "There! Once we get threw there then the car will be near by!" Ray called making her nod her head at him and as they burst from the line of trees along side a dirt road showed a black car not to far from them, "Thank you.....who ever you were." Angel thought glancing over her shoulder at the forest behind her while making a break for the car.

Jumping into the passenger seat earning a hiss of pain from bumping the cuts and quickly closed the door before putting her seat belt on, "Lets get out of here and somewhere to get her patched up." Ray thought starting the car thus making the car roar to life and stepping on the gas petal causing the car to spin out on the dirt road before speeding off.

Leaning back in her seat letting a breath of relief out turning her head watching things speed by and looking down to the gun in her hand, didn't these things have safetys on them? Sighing as she placed the gun down on top of her duffel bag which oddly enough was in between her legs on the floor broad, "There is a city near by with a good friend living there, he will be able to help keep you safe til we can get in touch with your sister but I do warn you now. He is a bit of a hard head and no matter what you must stay there do you understand?" Ray asked while driving down the road only to steal a small glace at Angel when no answer was heard.

 Looking would allow him to see the young girl was asleep in her seat and the steady raising and falling of her chest showed she was still alive, "Best to rest now while you can." Ray thought pulling his sight from her and back to the road giving a small sigh as he drove.

Looking around as he drove only stopping when he came to red lights, yes they were on the run but didn't mean they could break the law and using one of the red lights for him to lean over grabbing the gun Angel had used to turn the safety on then setting it next to his which was in between the car seats. Driving when the light turned green as both were unaware of what awaited the two of them down the road, staying on his guard while he drove only wishing to know how much more would it take til the night would be over for the both of them?
