Deomi heard Sarah's first comment, but chose to ignore it. She sniffled once, "sure, that's always been his favorite place to go." she said, taking the familiar path that led to the park. For the first time since she came back to life, she felt kind of cold. I can't just leave Jason here. Why does he have to be so damn stubborn? Her thoughts were racing, why can't him and Liam just get along?

__

(What am i doing with Josh and Ash? XD))

{ I don't know. xD }

Sarah nodded, listening carefully, as if she expected Liam's steady heartbeat to be within hearing range. She could feel people's eyes on her, probably astounded at her smudged makeup and messy hair, but she didn't care. People huddled under umbrellas rushed by, casting them worried glances as they began to get soaked from the rain.

At least it can't get any worse, she thought quietly to herself as they moved towards the park. The rain washed out all of the scents, but she could still smell him.  

Ashlee was sprawled out on the bed, enjoying the softness. She sat up and looked around the room, "I could get used to living in hotels." she said with a laugh, "I'm pretty sure this bed is more comfy than mine."

__

Liam looked up at the sky, letting the rain fall on his face for a moment. Then back in the direction he was walking. People around him had umbrellas, and those who didnt were rushing to get inside or to their cars, but Liam was in no hurry, he had nowhere to be, and no reason to go anywhere. A familiar scent hit him, followed by the clench of his gut as the wolf tried to escape. The scent was faint, but Liam guessed that was because of the rain. He looked around the crowd, searching faces, but not seeing Sarah. Instead, he first saw a shimmer of ebony wings. Deomi? He thought, then he saw Sarah as well and stopped walking.

What are they doing together? Liam wondered, and wheres Jason? I wouldn't expect Deomi to be without him...

-

Deomi's hear skipped a beat when she saw Liam, "Oh thank god, hes still alright." she said, almst to herself, picking up her pace toward him. When she reached Liam, she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

Liam looked at her with a confused ex
pression, not sure if he should hug her back or not. "Well hi to you too Deomi." he said with a good natured chuckle. She looked up with him and her makeup was smudged, Liam had a feeling it wasnt just from the rain.

Deomi let go and took a step back, "we need to go, its not safe here." she blurted, looking over at Sarah for help explaining.

{ LOL. I'm going alone with Kevin tomorrow to see Transformers 3... 8DD }

"I wouldn't know... maybe I'll have to do a little comparison some time," Josh purred as he leaned back in the chair he was in. He'd found the key to the mini-fridge in their room, which was full of water, some sort of juice, and complimentary wine. He was drinking straight from the bottle.

~

Sarah's eyes weren't on either of them. She was staring at her feet, fangs digging into her lower lip as she tried to ignore what she'd just seen. Deomi and Liam hugging... and him actually happy to see her. Was he happy to see Sarah? Somehow, she doubted that. Again, she wiped at the make-up on her cheeks.

"The ArchAngel is part vampire now," she said stiffly, raising her ruby eyes. "Which is why we have to leave. Jason said he'd do us a favour and keep an eye out to see if it stays in the city or not. So he's not coming with us. But we do need to leave as soon as possible." She paused for a moment. "It seems Josh and Ashlee have already taken flight; their scent around here is fading quickly. They left a few days ago. We should probably follow." 

((Trust me when I say.....ITS AHMAZING!!!!!!!!))

Ashlee laughed softly, "that chair can't be that comfy, come on, theres plenty of room over here." she said wtih a sly smile, patting the bed beside her. Her glittering green eyes flickered to the bottle in his hand and she reached out, "mind sharing?"

__

Deomi fidgeted uncomfortably, "Oh good, Josh, just the demon I want to see right now." she said sarcastically, "maybe you guys should go ahead without me, jsut for a little while, until I can convince Jason to come along." In reality, she just didn't want to be by Josh without Jason around, but she would never admit it aloud, even if the others could have already guessed it.

-

Liam sighed, "I don't think thats a good idea, if the ArchAngel is part vampire, hes more dangerous than ever, and hes got to be pretty tough as it is, I mean, he completely smashed my car, without even falling down, and I was going at least 80."

"Of course not," Josh said, taking a swig before climbing onto the bed beside her and pressing the bottle into her hand. He narrowed her charcoal eyes and smiled coolly. 

~

Sarah bit down on her tongue, forcing herself not to snarl at them. "Suit yourselves then," she hissed. "Stay behind. Come along. I don't care... but I'm following Josh and Ashlee. As much as I hate them, I know that demons have a sixth sense when it comes to escaping danger."

She loathed Deomi at this very moment in time. For no apparent reason besides envy, either. "Jason doesn't want to come. He's make that statement painfully obvious. Batting your eyelashes at him won't make him budge. He's not a play-thing."

Turning on her heel, she stalked away, not caring if they were mad or shocked or upset with her. She didn't like that Liam cared about Deomi, even if it was in a sibling manner. She didn't like that he was happy to see Deomi, and not her. For once in her life, she wished she was alone, content with the knowledge that love would never ruin her life. 

But Sarah couldn't exactly go back in time, could she? 

Ashlee took a swig from the bottle, loving the sweet flavor of the wine, "this would be better if there was some music playing." she said with a laugh. She still had a buzz from the Spark+ drinks she had stolen from the gas station, and the wine just added to the warm, fuzzy feeling inside her.

--

Liam made a face, "you really want to stay and put your life in danger for him?" he asked, looking up at Sarah, he would go after her in a minute.

Deomi nodded, biting her lip, "I don't want him to die, you guys go find Josh and Ashlee, if I can't convince Jason to come with me by tomorrow, I will come for you guys alone." she said, Liam nodded once before turning to follow Sarah.

"Sarah!" he called, running after her, "Slow down a second!" he caught up befoer long and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop and turn to face him, "you didnt even say hi." he said, looking somewhat hurt.

-

Deomi took a deep breath and headed back the direction of Jason's house, ((FAIL I just dont want Jason do die D: the ArchAngel should get there first >:D then Deomi can show off her kick-a$$ VampireWolf Skillz XD))

{ Jason is piss drunk, and as mentioned earlier, he's an angry drunk... so I have other things on mind. >:) }

"This would be better if we weren't on the run... so we could spend a little more time here. Y'know, just spending time in our room alone..." Josh winked, holding out a hand for the wine bottle to be returned.

~

Sarah pulled her wrist away from him, gripping it with her other hand as if it burned where he'd touched her. "You didn't either," she hissed, whirling around to face him. Her eyes were darker than usual, and her blonde hair stuck to her face and neck as it became soaked from the rain. She felt no need to pull her hood up.

"I see you're not staying behind with Deomi," she grumbled, eyeing him suspiciously. "Did she tell you to follow me, or did you do that because you felt like it?" 

~

Jason pulled the mirror off the wall, staring at his reflection with hazy eyes. Grinning demonically, he threw it, watching as it shattered in the middle of his bedroom floor. Nearly every room in his house was destroyed already.

He proceeded to pull each drawer from his dresser and toss them against the wall, breaking each one and most of its contents.

Then he stumbled back into the livingroom, picked up the remote, and threw it at his television. It shattered the screen, the broken glass reflecting his hatred-infused ex
pression. "I hope Deomi likes Liam a whole lot 'cause there's no damn way she's crawling back to me. Ever."

Picking up the half-empty vodka bottle on the couch, he took a swig and sat on the destroyed furniture, watching the door. 

Ashlee took another swig before handing the bottle back to Josh, "well,  we dont have to run again until tomorrow." she purred, a coy smile on her face.

__

"I didn't say Hi because I was too busy getting bombarded with information that we are all in danger. And I didnt stay behind because I didnt't want to."

_

Deomi heard the crashing when she reached the door and hesitated a moment before opening it, "Jason?" she called out nervously.

((wow snoweh uberfail XD))

"So what are you suggesting?" Josh smiled, leaning in close before taking the bottle of wine from her. He couldn't help but notice how enticing she smelled. 

~

Sarah bit back a 'that's a first' and stared at him for a long time. "I'm going to get some stuff," she growled through her teeth. "and then we'll leave. Meet me here in an hour- I'll be driving. A minute late and I'll leave you here."

She paused. "Pack one suitcase of clothes, and anything else important. Including as much money as you can get in cash. I don't want to go around stealing everything we need, as fun as that is."

Sarah turned around again, speaking her next words to nobody in particular. "I've had enough fun for a while." Then she started to walk away again, this time in the direction of her house.

~

"Who'n the hell're you?" Jason barked, nearly falling over as he rose to his feet. He'd heard someone but was unable to make out who it was or what they were saying. "Answer me or'ill bite yer face off. Swear to whatever-god-there-is that I'll do it too."

Bringing his drink with him, he stumbled towards the front door. When he saw Deomi, his lip curled in disgust. "Had enough fun with Sarah and Liam, did you?" He leaned against the wall with a hiccup. "I 'on't need you, Deomi. Scat. I'm perfectly fine here on my own with the Archangel." 

Jason lunged without warning, shoving Deomi up against the wall, holding her there with one hand on her throat. His nails duck into her neck, blood rising. His fangs slid from their sheathes. 

"You," he hissed. "Y-you get out of my house, you hear me?" Leaning closer, he repeated in a much louder voice. "YOU HEAR ME?!" Releasing her, he took another swig from the bottle and snarled at her.

"You get out of here. Nobody wants you here; I don't. And I never will."

~

"Been there, done that," Josh teased. 

An angry tear slid down Deomi's cheek and she clenched her fist and punched him as hard as she could in the jaw, "don't you ever touch me again." she snarled back, shoving him out of the way, "Ever." ((I can't make her leave yet, theres so much more destruction to be caused XD))

__

Ashlee laughed and rolled her eyes, "yeah but I doubt you've ever had an accomplice." she pointed out

Jason's head snapped to one side, and as he turned back slowly to look at her, his eyes were pitch black. "Don't tell me what to do," he growled, throwing his bottle of liquor behind him; it shattered on the far wall. 

He pushed her, then, hands hard on her shoulders. Jason put a good amount of strength into it, making sure she slammed into the door with an audible thud. His face twisted into an ugle sneer.

__

"You're wrong on that one," Josh said with a smirk. "I had a friend from Mexico, once. Pleasant demon she was. And not hard on the eyes either." He took a long drink from the bottle. "Shame she had to go back to hell. I quite liked her once upon a time." 

"See, the difference between her and me, I'm not going back to hell any time soon." Ashlee said with a laugh, "hence why  we are on the run."

-

Deomi gritted her teeth and a feral growl ripped from her throat and she fought back the wolf, still not wanting to hurt Jason. She scowled at him fro a moment, before headbutting him as hard as she could in the nose, a smug grin on her face((XD I remember doing that when my older brother bullied me. XD works almost as well as biting >:D ))

"I guess you're right," Josh said with a smirk. His head had begun to feel fuzzy from the wine. He took another sip. 

~

Jason hissed, setting his broken nose right before it could heal wrong. A trickle of blood slid down his face, but he wiped it away. Eyes burning, he curled his lip at Deomi- and lunged.

Teeth buried themselves in her throat, the sweet taste of angel blood mixed with werewolf and vampire combined. His hands pushed against her shoulders, pinning her to the wall, as he fed greedily on her. Nails biting into her skin, he almost smiled. 

My father would be proud of me. 

"Of course im right." Ashlee said, feeling her speach starting to slur a bit, "I'm a friggan genious."

_

Deomi gasped in pain, her skin burning where Jason's teeth broke through. She felt herself grow lightheaded, then she began to shake, shifting before she knew what was happening. She fell forward onto her paws, pinning Jason beneath her and baring her fangs.She could smell ehr own blood, and it made the fur on her neck feel warm and sticky.

Venom pooled in her mouth and she let a throaty snarl escape, ears pinned back and fur standing on end.
