Chapter 19: The Interruption

Arabella's POV
When Annabel asked what else Raven was, I saw Raven take a deep breath. She said quietly,"Demon." Annabel was expressionless. "....So you're basically you want to kill one of your kind..." She muttered. I saw Raven clench her fists. "You're the one killing angels!!" She shouted at Annabel. She looked startled but then glared at Raven. Raven took a deep breath. I could tell that she was trying very hard to control her demon side. "Look, we both have good reasons for killing demons and angels.." Raven began.

James' POV
While I was sleeping, I heard some shouting from outside. I woke up and went to the window. In the garden, I saw three figures. Two of them I recognized as Raven and Annabel, but I did not know who the third was. 'Maybe I should go down to the garden..' I thought to myself. I quickly went downstairs and saw a dark figure near the garden entrance. It was Sebastian. I crept up behind him and was about to say something. "Shut up and don't make a sound." I heard him whisper. I nodded my head slowly and crouched down. "Look, we both have good reasons for killing demons and angels.." I heard Raven say,"They killed our loved ones and destroyed our homes." 'Oh, the demon that killed Raven's entire family and burned out village....' I thought sadly. I remembered how much Raven was willing to do in order to find and kill him. Annabel said,"Arabella..." 'Arabella?? Who is that?!' I wondered curiously.

Sebastian's POV
'Arabella? That sounds a bit familiar...' I thought to myself. Would it be safe to intrude? I didn't know... I heard James get up and begin to enter the garden. I grabbed his arm and hissed,"What the hell are you doing?!" He twisted his arm and said,"What does it look like I'm doing?!" I tried to grab him again but he entered the garden. 'Damn...' I got up and followed him. He was hiding behind a bush near where the girls were. I sighed and out my hand on his shoulder. Surprisingly, he made no reaction. I expected him to jump or hit me. Then I saw why James was so silent. Raven looked....quite different.... 'This must be what her angel side looks like..' I thought, intrigued.
James then said quietly,"I'm going to Raven." He got up and began to walk towards them. I didn't know what to do at this rate. I tripped him by grabbing his ankle. He yelped and fell down on his face. I chuckled quietly. He sat up and suddenly punched me in the face. I growled and my eyes flashed red. Then I felt a dark aura surrounding James. 'What the hell...' I punched him in the stomach but all he did was growl at me. We both stood up, looking at each other dead in the eye. James lunged at me and swung his fist near my shoulder. I dodged and kicked his leg. He fell to the ground and shouted in pain. I smirked. 'What a...' I didn't finished my thought because James kicked my ankle hard. I buckled in brief agony. I punched James in the eye and then he punched my jaw. I spat out blood and swore I would make him pay. I tackled him to the ground and punched him repeatedly. There were some shouts and James, bloody and mad, slapped me in the face. I was stunned momentarily. I heard some footsteps and then I looked up. I saw Raven and two girls were behind her. I grinned and said,"Why, hello Raven.."
