[PG-13] Witness [IC]

[ArianaHollow]

It`s about a week after Sarah witnessed the death of a guardian angel. Alexander has been protecting her fiercely, because now that she knows, she`ll never have a normal life. She`s being tracked and hunted down, the demons will never cease to try and kill her. They`ll kill anything in their path to get to her, anything.

She had to move from her comfy home in the Adirondacks in Upstate New York to somewhere a little more miserable. Canada ( No offense Canadians! xD ). Alexander has been assigned as her new guardian angel and to better protect her, he`s even enrolled into her new school. Sarah is about to have one of the worst school years of her life. And maybe even the last...

"Goooooooood morning Ottawa!" The overly happy news man chirped. "The temperature for today is a whopping negative five degree Celsius!" He laughed and another female chuckle could be heard in the background, "That`s right, Tom! And you folks at home should be sure to take out the snow blowers and clear your driveways before you head off to work today, we got a total of five inches of snow last night." The female voice exclaimed. "Wow Eileen, that`s--!

Sarah couldn`t take hearing their overly excited, annoying voices any more. She sat up in bed and practically crushed the alarm clock under her fist. She groaned and fell back onto her pillow willing the clock to turn backwards and give her another four hours to sleep. Ever since that day in the clearing, she hasn`t been able to sleep much. Whether it was because of the fact that she was being hunted down by a bunch of demons, or she was being protected by an insanely hot guardian angel who liked to sneak up on her at the most random times, she wasn`t sure. She finally rolled out of bed and quickly took a shower and got dressed. She left her wet hair down as she took the stairs down two at a time and set herself at the table eating a quick breakfast her mother made her.

"Alex coming over this morning to pick you up?" Jacqueline Fenton asked over her shoulder, eying her daughter carefully. Sarah spoke around a bite of bagel, "I told you Ma, he doesn`t like being called that." Jackie shrugged her shoulders and returned to making herself a bowl of cereal. When she finished, she sighed and sat across from Sarah. "I`m just a little nervous about you spending so much time with him, that`s all sweetie." She said smiling slightly. Sarah groaned and rolled her eyes, "Mom!" She complained, "It`s not like we`re dating! I told you, we`re just friends." Sarah stared her mother down making sure she got the message and Jackie held up her hands in mock surrender, "Alright, alright I get it! Butt out." She chuckled and shook her head. Sarah smiled a bit and stood up setting her plate in the sink. She chugged the last of her iced tea and rinsed the dishes setting them in the dishwasher.

"Yell up to me when he gets here, please and thank you!" She called back to her mother as she started up the stairs again. She stepped into her bathroom and stared in the mirror for a minute before sighing heavily and working on her hair, combing it into something manageable and then throwing it into a neat pony tail. She stepped back into her room and paused for a minute, she felt her pocket for her phone, but it wasn`t there. She went to her bedside table and still couldn`t find it. "Odd." She mumbled under her breath. Quickly taking another look around, she stood in the middle of her room, "Huh..." She said softly to herself...

"Another boring night..." Alexander said to himself, looking across the town. He reached down to his pocket to check the time on his pocket watch, as he always preferred the older gadgets more, and he felt her cell phone in his pocket. "Heh, that's right. I forgot to give it back yesterday." Alexander jumped down to the ground, knowing no one would see him, cause he could disguise himself if he wanted to. And once he hit the ground, he turned visible again, and rang the doorbell. "I wonder if she's looking for this..." He grinned at the thought of her standing in the middle of her room wondering where she put it, and flipped it open. "At this rate we're gonna be late..."

[ArianaHollow]

Jacqueline heard the doorbell and shouted up to her daughter, "That's probably him, Sarah." Sarah rolled her eyes and yelled back down, "You're probably right, Mom!" Shaking her head to herself, she took one last good look around her room before she bent and snatched her book bag off of the ground. She took her sweet time checking herself in the mirror and adjusting the straps of her pack on her shoulders so they rested perfectly. The only reason she wanted to take her time was so she annoyed Alexander a little, he was always so easily worked up and she was always making him late to things. Not to say that her tardiness didn't go unpunished as privileges, such as going to a hockey game, were often taken away from her. Sighing, she stared at herself for a moment longer before turning and hurrying herself out of her room and down the steps. Meanwhile, Jacqueline had invited Alexander in and they started talking, about nothing really, just what he had planned for the day and what Sarah was going to be up to. Jacqueline was always good at mindless conversation...

Brushing past her mother, she stood in the doorway with Alex not far behind her, "See you later tonight, Mom, love you." Jackie smiled and waved her good-bye to the both of them before shutting the door. Sarah looked up at Alexander and couldn't help but smile, a little smugly, after a few seconds though it slipped as she realized her earlier dilemma, "Hey, have you seen my phone? I haven't been able to find it, it's not in my room." She said frowning slightly as she started walking down the steps and in the direction of the school. "You wouldn't happen to have it, would you?"

[Taranoth3123]

Alexander, for some reason, usually enjoyed the small talk that Jaqueline provided, but he hated having to be late for things, and Sarah seemed to have a natural gift for being late but perfect, and driving him mad. Alexander saw her decending the stairs, and so he flashed her a look of impatience as if to say, "Come on let's go! We're gonna be late!" Alexander followed her out the door, waving goodbye to her mom, and closed the door behind them. He turned around to a smug smile, and he could tell that she took her sweet time trying to look perfect, just to annoy him. A little agitated, she asked him, "Hey, have you seen my phone? I haven't been able to find it, it's not in my room." She said frowning slightly as she started walking down the steps and in the direction of the school. "You wouldn't happen to have it, would you?" Alexander walked on, not looking at her, but focused on the direction he was going, and he said, "Look in your backpack's side pocket." He sighed. "You should really stop forgetting these things..."

[ArianaHollow]

She lagged behind a little while she looked in the pockets, sticking her tongue out at the back of his head and mocking him. She mouthed the words, You should really stop forgetting these things... She got a frustrated look on her face. "God damnit, where'd you put it? I can't find--Oh, never mind." Pulling the phone out of the pocket he promised it was in, she scrolled through the messages she got, all twelve of them. Half a dozen were from her best friend, three were from one of her other friends and the last one... The last one was from an unknown number, but she had a good feeling she knew who it was. Squealing softly she shoved the phone back into her pocket and quickened her pace. "C'mon, Alex!" She chimed knowing he hated that nickname, it seemed as though she was doing everything in her power to piss him off today. It was just too easy to mess with him, and she hated being attached with a bodyguard, he didn't let her do anything remotely fun.

[Taranoth3123]

Alexander cringed when she said "God damn it" and interjected saying, "Could you please keep God out of this?"
He loathed being called Alex and she knew it, so he said, "Why do you want to piss me off today anyway?" But in a deliberate effort to piss her off he continued, "So, who's that message from?" Alexander looked down at the ground, grinning, but keeping his pace matched with hers. "Judging from the way you squealed when you looked at the phone, it must be someone important." He said tauntingly, doing everything to keep himself from bursting out laughing at the anticipation of her freaking out at him for going through her phone, even though he didn't, it was just too easy to read her.
"Are you going through another boy-crazy stage again?" Alexander grinned widely, and didn't bother to hide it this time.

[ArianaHollow]

She actually felt bad for cursing like that in front of him. Biting her lower lip, she frowned, "Yeah, sorry..." Though as he prodded her about why she was so happy, she shot him a glare but kept her cool as best she could. "If you must know, OhWonderfulAndJoyousProtector, his name is Scott and he's on the hockey team and he's incredibly attractive." Shooting him another look, she scoffed lightly, "Unlike some people I know." She muttered under her breath though she didn't doubt that he heard that. At the mention of a 'boy-crazy stage', she outright glared at him, a soft blush spreading across her cheeks. "I am not, nor have I ever been, boy-crazy. So bite me." And with that she stomped away rubbing her hands together to keep herself warm in the chilly air. Pulling her coat tighter around her, she sighed upon seeing the school peak out from behind the treetops lining the street, relived that she'd soon be in it's warmth.

[Heir of Void]

About a mile away from Sarah's location, a figure covered by a shroud of the deepest raven black and violet was perched on the very top of a large red pine, overlooking the area surrounding his charge's home. It wouldn't be the first time if he spotted a pair of hell-spawn wandering too near the boundary of his watch's house, for the company he had over often attracted the lesser daemons that were drawn to people with a chaotic or violent nature. Both of these qualities are undoubtedly possessed by Francis, his charge's, friends. Francis was a punk rocker, and a frequent one at that. He attended ridiculous amounts of concerts almost every week and brought a bunch of the other attendees with him back home. They were in turn followed by the lesser demons.......who were slaughtered as soon as they entered the boundary surrounding Francis's house.

Rather brutally in fact.

So far this morning though, there had been not a single unholy being entering the circle. In fact, if the figure hadn't been so amazed by the tree he was currently perched on, he would be bored out of his mind. He spread the grand dark wings which ruffled slightly as they caught the frozen breeze of the morning, a light layer of frost cascading off of the soft raven and violet feathers. Dropping off the top of the tall tree, the winged individual flew in an upward arc, gaining altitude at an astonishing rate as he began circling over the trees surrounding the streets. It was all a spectacular view of this miraculous landscape, at least, to this being it was.

The being's name was Akilsiz Saciar and he was amazed by nearly everything, so even had he not been flying over the town and instead simply laying in the cool snow, he still would have found it a wonderful experience comparable to no other......besides whatever happened directly afterwards.

Saciar was just the type of person that enjoyed life as it came, good or bad. Sometimes though, the angel liked to cause the fun himself, usually by performing ridiculous stunts or activities because mortals were so easily excited. Dive-bombing passer-by was a favored activity, especially so because of their reactions to a huge flying thing brushing past them at high speeds.

Positioned high above the snow-covered streets, Akilsiz spotted a couple of pedestrians wearing packs striding towards what he assumed would be school. The angel's eyes glinted as the permanent grin widened slightly into a devious smirk. High-schooler's tended to be the loudest when they freaked out, and it was always fun watching them try to sort out what had just happened to them in a bewildered state of panic. It was like a pair insane parrots struck by a bolt of electricity.

With enjoyment in mind, Saciar began his high-altitude dive that would drive him straight between the two students, safely of course though. Humans weren't meant to be harmed. Plummeting closer and closer to the pair, the Guardian Angel seemed a ridiculous sight: Wind whipping through black hair encompassing two large horns, and against a painted face that held a perpetually content grin that didn't seem to mind -or notice- the speeds that he was travelling towards the unforgiving ground.

[Taranoth3123]

Alexander half smiled at the remark made by Sarah, and he thought to himself, <I'm just getting on her good side this morning...> And he smirked at the thought. <Scott, huh? I seem to remember him being the one who tormented Sarah a year or two ago for her braces... Or was it glasses? Whatever. She can choose what she wants Alexander, just let it be...>
As her face turned pink and she got defensive, Alexander chuckled to himself and thought, <Haha, so it is true. And even she knows it.> At first sight of her rubbing her hands together for warmth, his first instinct was to warm her hands for her as he would have for Anna, but he had to force himself not to. <She's not Anna, Alexander, get over it. You failed back then, just don't do it again.>
Alexander tilted his head back as he normally did when he thought about Anna, and he saw a huge figure decending from the sky. "Anna, step to the side just a bit, would you?" He said fairly calmly but with a hint of urgency.
When the creature would fly between them, he would grab it by the horns, and hold the holy liquid in his hand that took the shape of a holy shortsword, and throw it to the ground saying, "Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you right now Demon!" As he was kneeling on the stomach of the creature on the ground. (Just negate it if you would do something different. :P )

[ArianaHollow]

At the tone of his voice, and being called the wrong name, she stopped and turned. The figure that had been flying above them just barely clipped her shoulder, making her spin around before falling on her rear with a soft 'oomph'. Blinking rapidly, she tried to focus on the two beings. The coldness of the snow seeped in through her jeans and hands as she sat there staring at the two of them. She was frozen in place, both in shock and horror, frightened and unsure what she should do. Run, or stay and help Alexander? Then again, how could she help him? She was just a human after all.
