50 A deal with an angel or at least half of one

Elektra

"More vampires are being drawn in." I groaned resting my head back against the brick wall. We -Olivia and I- found a secluded area outside next to a staircase and relaxed there so I could explain everything in full detail. She freaked out for the first five minutes then she just nodded and cracked jokes.

"That sucks." Olivia commented and I smiled at her really bad pun. "But I was right. The world has gone all twilight on me."

"You're seriously OK with this?" I perked my brow and eyed at her suspiciously.

"I expected this from you." She shrugged.

"You knew I would be a werepanther, hunted down by my lover's pack that is secretly being controlled by vampires."

"Not exactly that but I knew you'd be in something really weird that involved a cat somewhere."

I stared at her dumbfounded. "I honestly wonder what goes in that mind of yours Liv."

"I should be saying that to you." She growled crossing her arms over but couldn't keep up the grouchy act for long because after a few seconds she broke into a smile. "Who is the tattooed girl?"

"Shadowhunter named Angel, it's kind of ironic..."

"Now City of Bones is involved?"

"Don't look at me I'm not the one creating these myths blame Zues or..."

"Zues hang on a minute you never said anything about Greek Gods." She stated annoyed and then she gasped as if she just realisied something big. "The Virgin Mary was just a slut!"

"That was the last thing I expected to fall out of your loud mouth." I said between laughs and also I feel a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders.

"I can't believe you never told me about this."

"I haven't told anyone about this."

"Yeah but I'm your best friend! I'm supposed to know this stuff!" She really needs to stop yelling.

"Think of the superheros that kept their secret from everyone they loved to protect them. Happy?"

"A little satisfied... You love me?" She gave me a big grin and I giggled.

"Of course I do." I leaned forward and gave her hug which she returned. "You're my bitch." She laughed in my hair then held onto me tighter. "You OK?"

"Yeah just..." She pulled back and looked at me dead straight in the eye. "Please stop keeping secrets from me."

"From now on I'll tell you everything."

"Oh and stop sending Cole to distract me."

I threw my hands up in surrender but couldn't keep the smile off my face. "That was all him I swear!"

"He's so annoying you won't believe what he did to me! He used my whole family against me! Just so he could score a date." I burst out laughing and because I usually throw my head back when I laugh I smacked it into the bricks.

"OW! Oh... ow." I whimpered on instinct, not really because it actually hurt. Olivia laughed at my pain so I laughed with her rolling on the ground probably looking hysterical. Suddenly she squealed and pointed at the wall so I looked at it and gasped at the dent and cracks I created.

"Oh my Gods!" Olivia laughed and I smiled proudly at her. She understands the Greek mythology without me having to explain it to her. If I had a gold medal I'd give it to her but for now I'll just buy her some chocolate. "We should probably move."

"Yeah thank Gods this school doesn't have cameras." I pulled her up onto her feet and we rushed inside sneaking up to her locker. "How was the date with Cole?"

"Shut up."

"No I'm genuinely curious."

"Listen it's not a real date if my family was with us so just don't worry about it." She leaned back against a locker and stuffed her hands in her blazer pockets.

"But I wanna know!" I whined in a baby voice then noticed her go deep in thought. "Olivia?"

After The Date...

Olivia:

My family sat around in the living room as I walked Cole to the front door and outside on the front steps.

"Thank you for such a fun evening." Cole said in a sarcastic voice.

"No need to mock it's your fault you had to put up with us anyway." I snapped crossing my arms over.

"Don't sell yourself and your family short Liv they're funny." I can't tell if that's an insult or not so I stared at him suspiciously.
"They're embarrassing." I stated.

"That's why I like them. They make you blush and you look incredibly adorable when you're vulnerable." I swear if starts pinching my cheeks any second now I will break my hand punching his rock hard face.

"You're a pain."

He tsked and cried out exasperated at the sky. "Oh admit you love me already!"

"What? Please Cole stop wasting your time I'm not interested."

His hand reached for his heart and he looked at me with a face filled with false sorrow. "Ouch just like that." The smile soon returned.

"If you were really upset you wouldn't be smiling like the Joker."

"Be my Harley Quinn?" Yeah how often did the Joker abusive his girl? Nonstop.

I chuckled. "Go home Cole."

"No hug?" He loves pushing things doesn't he?

I put my hands on my hips and licked my lips while his eyes just watched me. "Only if you answer one more question." He sighed but agreed. "Can I see your wolf one day?" His smile disappeared and he looked away from me. "Sorry too soon? Should we wait a few more dates?" He chuckled then stared up at me through his lashes.

"You won't be scared?" He asked seriously.

"It's you. You may have a creepy smile but you're not someone I can fear."

"Oh really?" He questioned the corner of his lips turning up to make him look pure evil.

"Answer the question." I crossed my arms over again and he pointed his chin up smirking at me.

His long arms reached out towards me and with his fingers he gestured for me to come closer. I rolled my eyes then reluctantly closed in and wrapped my arms around his back while his trapped me in his warm embrace. Oddly enough I fit perfectly under his chin and I hate to say this but this feels nice and he smells nice. That's some real expensive cologne...

"I'll think about it." He whispered annoying me. A hug wasted. "Your mother is staring at us." OK so a hug not wasted.

"Is she horrified?" I asked smiling sinisterly.

"She actually is. I thought she liked me?"

"Innapropriate contact really gets to her."

"It's only hugging."

"She's old fashioned."

"Her evil eyes are almost as bad as yours. Bad as in: they don't really scare anyone but they're cute to look at."

"Just wait she's about to shoot daggers from her eyes." I whispered then I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist.

His eyes look like they want to burst out from their sockets but I didn't give him a chance to speak.

I pressed my lips forcefully against his and ran my fingers through his lengthy mattered hair. Surprisingly he responded immediately but hesitantly then we started getting into it. Our lips moulded perfectly and I felt something inside of me burn and tingle. By now we should have stopped, disgusting my mother is easy so there's no need to take this further but I can't seem to find myself stopping.

And by the way he keeps biting my lip asking for permission to slip in his tongue... He won't be stopping anytime soon. One of his hands tentatively ran down my back just reaching above my butt and I realised now is really the time to stop this. I pulled away and I saw his pained expression with his eyes sewn shut and all these creases in his forehead. I can just feel my mother gasping and muttering to herself which made me giggle mischieviously. The sound of me laughing I think made his eyes snap open and he stared intently at me. Humorous and sarcastic Cole is long gone... I lightly clapped his face and smiled sinisterly. "Well my parents won't want you coming over anytime soon." His mouth dropped open and I jumped off him backing away with an evil grin.

"You used me?" He looks so shocked but not really hurt. He's got this devious sparkle in his emerald eyes.

"Hey!" I snapped my fingers into front of Olivia's flushing face and she snapped her head at me with her fingers still on her lips. "Did you two make out or something?"

"No!" She exclaimed and the bell rang before I could begin questioning her. She totally made out with him... I smiled as she stormed off for media. Oh My GODS! She did something with Cole that she's ashamed of and damn I badly want to know!

I scurried off to drama where unfortunately I crashed into Adrian at the doorway.

"You probably shouldn't be using your powers in front of mortals." I scowled dusting my uniform off.

"It's just teleporting." He smirked.

"Right in the doorway?"

"I want to chat." He shrugged and stood there blocking my way in.

"Go in and we'll sit together." I said. He looked at me in disbelief so I gently pushed him back and walked to the middle of the mirror room and sat down on the floor. He just stood next to me awkwardly looking like he's out of his zone and doesn't know what to do. I gazed up at him and perked my brow. "Are you going to sit down?"

"Okay..." He said suspiciously and sat down bumping his shoulder with mine. His cold blue eyes stared intensely into my soul but I'm so used to it now that for once I didn't shiver. He noticed.

"What did you want to chat about?"

"Ever since sleeping with you my bed has been really lonely." I didn't acknowledge that with a reply I can't even look at him when that thought is now playing on my mind. We didn't even do anything but share a bed... I hid my face in my hands and whimpered. I shared a bed with Adrian in my underwear...

"I hate you so much." I whispered.

"No you don't." He said softly and then suddenly he knocked over and Claire right between us.

"Heeeeey! EEEEEE!" She squealed. She has no idea how much I am glad to see her right now. Even in her 'improved' uniform... She's changed it all, orange skirt and yellow school blouse heck even the stockings are sunset orange and instead of school shoes she's got gold sparkerling five inch heels. "What's happening?"

"Adrian was talking about how beautiful you look today." I answered beaming at her. Her highlighter orange eyes somehow glowed even brighter at the sound of that and her burnt orange lips formed the 'duck lips' as she tilted her head towards Adrian.

"It's obvious you want me." She said to him and I mentally laughed.

Adrian just nodded straining a smile. "You're never wrong Claire."

She whispered in my ear excitedly. "He said my name." Then screamed. "AH!"

"Ow Claire my ear." I whined.

She ignored me and started playing with Adrian's hair. He didn't seem fazed at all he just stared at me making me uncomfortable.

Luke

I collapsed on my knees panting with my hands digging into the dirt. I've never been this bad at training but then again I've never been infected with silver before either.

"You've lost your stamina Luke." My Alpha said acting disappointed but his eyes showed amusement. He took me out into woods on this hot sunny day to get me back into shape since he's assuming I've been sneaking around or been slacking.

"Only because I've been training the little ones, they've been working me to death." I replied propping myself up to my feet. I heard female giggles and just realised the line of girls all ages even small eight year olds sitting along the log watching us. An old human woman, grey and wrinkled even flirtatiously waved at me. I shyly glanced away from her and awkwardly waved at the girls. They all beamed brightly at me and some even squealed reminding me of Claire's existence. "May I be excused?" I begged him.

"You may want to get used to the female attention, it will get better once you're Alpha." He whispered suggestively and my face probably went pale as an uneasy feeling swirled in my stomach. There's something wrong with his eyes, they're darker than usual. I wonder how Elektra would have reacted if she heard that.

"Do another push up Luke!"

"Flex 'em muscles!" I didn't look at the girls who called out to me I just continued to stare at my Alpha who is just laughing as the girls kept squealing excitedly. I simply nodded at them and strained a smile badly wanting to shift so they can stop gawking at me but I don't want to risk it.

I don't know how to explain to the Alpha.

Imagine trying to tell an Alpha werewolf he's being deceived that he's wrong and is practically going to let his pack fall. As soon as you claim him to be a fool and question his judgement he'll go livid. He acts so proud and he hates her so much. It's not even Elektra he hates it's the panther he detests, if the cat were anyone else he would not even glance at her.

"Stop disresptecting our future Alpha!" Deviline snapped at the girls baring her wolf fangs and they shook up in fear.

"Deviline!" I angrily shouted. I can speak for myself and what right does she have to be so vulgar and fierce to the younger girls. I said nothing more when she glowered directly at me stunned. I didn't wait to be excused I just paced away through the trees walking back into the pack house.

"Why did you yell at me?" I sensed that she followed me back here but I just wanted to avoid her. Hoping that she wasn't really following me she just came inside to find a bathroom or something. Not that she really needs a bathroom she actually shifts to pee on a tree. I don't want to know what where she hides her number twos. "Luke?" I continued walking. "Luke answer me!" I spun around surprising her by closing the space and glaring down at her. "Get out of my face before you hurt yourself."

"But..." I stormed off again and she screeched in annoyance stomping her foot like a stubborn child but she didn't follow me. I've been losing my temper a lot lately I never mean to unless I'm dealing with Deviline. It's just been a very long time -A very, very long time since I've seen her. I'm getting restless especially when during the day she blocks me out. It makes me wonder what she's hiding from me. Adrian could be with her... that really angers me.

"Hey Luke." Stella greeted as we passed. "Heard about the girl!" She called out making me trip in my step. "When's the Pack going to meet the girlfriend?"

"W-what?"

"Avon said something about you practically living with a girl but," she checked her watch. "Uh tell me later OK got work!"

"Oh sure yeah she... see you later." I panicked but she didn't seem fazed only smiled excitedly and walked away. Damn you Avon and your big mouth but then again I never told him to keep her secret. Maybe this could be a good thing. No wolf in my pack minus Marcus, Deviline and Cole will know she's the werecat. They themselves can grow fond of her on their own and they never have to know, the Alpha never will know.

'Elektra?' I called out to her mentally but she's got her walls up.

Elektra

Our drama teacher wearing an exceptionally amount of make up today is trying out our improvisation skills and parterned me with Adrian giving us the murderer and victim plot.

Coinsidence? I think not but I played along as the victim. The rest of the class watched us and so I did my thing.

I gasped covering my heart with my hand and stared at Adrian with shocked eyes. "You scared me. Did you leave something behind?"

He shook his head suspiciously holding one hand behind his back playing his part almost too well. His expression is serious and threatening you know... perfect for a murderer. "I'm sorry to do this."

I tilted my head confused. "What?"

"Why did you choose him?"

"He was perfect for the part." I shrugged and he hid away his smile taking a step forward while I took a wary step back.

He tsked. "Not the play Melody." Alright make up a name for me.

"Well who do you...? Pier? I love him that's why." I acted dumb. "We've been over this I'm not getting back together with you and you said you just wanted to be friends."

"I didn't think you would go to him. He doesn't even love you! I've known you longer." He suddenly shouted shocking a few students. I held back the chuckle as Claire squealed excitedly.

"Yet you know nothing about me." Our audience 'oohed' but this is starting to feel too real as in I don't know if he's acting anymore.

"I'm giving you one more chance to save yourself."

"You're crazy." I snapped. His eyes lit up making me shiver in fear. Real fear.

"If I don't do it he will so I might as well." The hand he was hiding behind his back whipped out holding the remote to the stereo. It's meant to be a knife we had to work with it and I am thankful it is just a remote.

"What are you doing!?"

"Wouldn't you want someone who loved you to kill you?" I gasped. He's being serious now, he's talking about it. What ruined us and showed me his true colours. The night that haunts me to this day and made me cry in my sleep every night for a whole year.

I shook violently as it all came back and I grew incredibly angry within seconds. "No I would want a piece of shit to kill me so I can come back and haunt his arse!"

I love the dramatic arts, always have always will. But I think I've taken it a step too far because my fist went flying towards his face and the rage just blinded me of any common sense.

"Elektra!" My teacher bellowed. I just realised where I am as if the cake faced woman snapped me back to reality and that everyone is watching us so I let Adrian trap me in his arms holding the remote to my neck.

"Uh Ms it's part of the act..." Adrian assured then stared down at me his eyes sending me a message I don't understand. "I love you." I stopped breathing. He slid the remote like a knife across my neck and I just went limp in his arms.

My teacher started clapping and yelled out a, "bravo!" They all cheered and I straightened myself up walking away from his locking hold on me.

"May I go to the bathroom?" I asked my teacher and she begrudgingly nodded. I rushed out of there before Adrian could come up to me again and felt my eyes sting with tears.

It was too real.

I rested my hands on the sink and tucked my chin to my chest just to let the tears silently fall. It was nothing like the night but still him threatening me scares the daylights out of me.

"What's your problem?" I recognise that as Angel's voice and I growled only because someone's caught me crying.

"I just realised I'm slightly attracted to Justin Bieber." I replied sarcastically lifting my head up to stare at her on the mirror. I am not going to bother wiping away the tears because she's seen them now there's no point. I took in the fact that she's not wearing the uniform she's just in her hunting gear. "You're not going to try and kill me again are you?"

"Too tired." She replied humorously with her arms crossed.

"Me too. Nice sword though."

"Hm."

"I feel like you want me to ask what you're doing here but I kind of want to think about myself for the next hour."

"OK then why are you crying?"

"I just told you. I got wet for Bieber."

She smiled but it disappeared as quickly as it came. "I was a victim of him once to."

"It's the abs."

"And the eyes... Anyway seriously what happened that made you of all creatures of the night cry?"

"I was reminded of a near death experience." That shut her up just like I thought it would. "What are you doing here? Miss me already?"

"I still want to look in on the vamp case here."

"Council believe you?" I asked referring the hunter mumbo-jumbo shananigans.

"No they don't I need more evidence."

After the long silence I turned around leaned back agasint the sink picking at my nails. "Angel what do you say we join forces?"

"The shadowhunters..."

"I'm talking about you and me, not your team and the entire race. I have no use for an entire mortal-angel army. Vampires are easy to deal with."

"For you at least." She muttered probably not meaning for me to hear. But if I can convince my friends to help us."

"I'll welcome them with cookies and hot chocolate." I said throwing my hands up smiling. "But to be honest I want more girls. Not to be sexist or anything but..."

"It's alright I get it." She laughed. (It's a girl thing you boys wouldn't understand.)

"You'll help me?"

"It benefits me so yes." She held her hand out to me. I pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear to purposely make her uncomfortable. "I'm a cuddler."
