Chapter 15: Anger

Angel's POV:

The Magic Council made us transport to a large ballroom. It was beautiful and empty. This is a lot of space. Its so gorgeous.

We walked to the middle of it and stopped. "Okay Angel, show us what you got." The last said. I looked around. "W-what do you m-mean?" I asked. "Show us your powers." The old dude said. I showed them my mermai powers. I made water float, freezed it, heated it, and made it turn into jelly. I used my telekinesis yo do other tricks. "Not those powers. Your new ones. Your now a vampire and a werewolf. Show us those powers." She said. "I-I don't know h-how." I said softly, looking at my hands.

"She's supposed to be something dangerous and powerful?" My mama said. She laughed and I felt a lump in my throat. Don't you dare cry for her Angel. She's not worth it. "Rochelle please. Go a head Angel." She said. "I mean I really can't. I really don't know how. I just became a vampire and werewolf. I don't know how to use them yet." I said. She stared at me. She sighed. "Then you shall train with the finest vampires and werewolves. Then you can show us what you're capable of." She said.

"Wait, I thought you were gonna see if she's worthy of her powers?" My mama said. "She is. I mean look at her. Lawrence was right. She's completely harmless. What can she do to harm anyone. She can't even stand up for herself." The lady said. I felt a tear on my cheek. Tasha came over and pulled me down. She wiped away the tear. "Its okay Angel. Yhu our still brave in my eyes." She said. I picked her up and hugged her. "So when does she start training?" My dad asked. "Tomorrow after school." The old dude said. I noticed the third one didn't say anything to me. Just stared. "Wait, I have work after school." I did.

"We'll send someone as you're replacement until you are finished." She said and walked off. We then were transported back to my old house. "This is all your fault." My mams said. "How is it my fault?" I asked. "You're probably sleeping around with those boys that turned you." She said. "I'd never! I never even had sex. I didn't have sex with either of them. You're one to talk. All the these dudes coming in every night. I'm pretty you're box is like throwing a hot dog down a long hallway." I shouted.

She came over and slapped me. My dad pushed her and slammed her against the wall. Tasha cried out. She broke down in tears. I comforted her. "Rochelle you got one more damb time to put your hands on her. Girls let's go. We're leaving." He said. He picked up Tasha and walked out. I looked at the person I used to call mama. I shook my head and walked out. I got in the car and we drove. My eyes welled up with tears. "Daddy I can't come stay with you." I said. "What? Why not?" He asked. "Daddy, I finally have a life on this side of town. I gonna miss everyone. Even Kacey. I love Kacey. That's where me and Tasha have been staying. At her house. If I leave, it'll crush her." I said.

He stayed silent. "Angel are you sure? Because that boy, Kevin, I've heard about him. Killing himself over a stupid video of him crying and cutting himself. Like just get over it. We all cry and have our moments, but you shouldn't have to take it seriously." He said. I opened my mouth to explain to him the situation but remembered Kevin doesn't anyone to know about it. "I don't want him giving you the habit of cutting yourself." He said. "Dad, I'm not gonna do that." I said.

"Angel I don't want to wake up to hear you dead because you were around this boy." He said. "Dad I know Kevin. He may be rough around the edges, but he's not gonna hurt me. Besides I know how to handle myself." I said. He got silent. He sighed. "Okay Angel, just promise me you won't end up getting hurt by this boy. I love you and I don't feel like doing 15+ years in prison because he hurt." He said. "I love you too Dad. You can take me back Kacey's house." I said. I gave him the address. He drive there and looked around. He whistled. "Nice place." He said. "I know, right." I said and got out. "Wait, Angel. Here have this." He said and handed me a moon ring.

I smiled. "Before we left, the pod wanted me give you this. Make sure you practice using itm" he said. I hugged him and kissed him. "Thank you Daddy." I said excitedly. "Hey where's mine?" Tasha asked. "You'll get yours when your older. And when you know how to use it." He said. He walked in with me to get Tasha's stuff. As we walked, my phone pinged. My dad walked in her room while I picked it up. It was a text from Kevin.

Kacey👭: Angel please come get to Kevin's!! Its an emergency!!!

Angel: What's wrong?

I texted back but got no response. "Uh Dad, Kacey needs me at her job. I'll be right back." I lied. "I'll take you." He said. "No, you go on home with Tasha. She gets cranky when she's tired." I said then ran out the house. Oh Kevin. Please be okay. 'Angel?' Zane what are you doing in my head? 'No time to explain. Kevin's in trouble. There's a river where your at. Swim to Kevin's. There's a current in there. Follow it. It'll take you to his house.' I took off to find the river. How can you find it? I'm a mermaid. We follow water. I found the river and dove in.

Oh my God. Please let Kevin be okay. I swam even faster. I found the current Kacey told me and followed it. My heart and mind raced. I followed the current to his house. I climbed out and dried off. I quickly ran to his house. 'Angel?' Zane? Is he okay? 'No he took off running towards the woods. They couldn't keep up with him. You're a vampire and and werewolf now. You should be able to catch up to him.' I don't know how Zane. 'Just run. If you get tired, don't stop. You'll transform.' Okay. I'll try. I took running. Then I smelt a scent. Kiwi? Kevin!!!! I ran even faster.

My heart raced. Oh Kevin, what happened? I seen him. I ran towards him but I started getting tired. Come on Angel. He's right there. I can't do it. I'm tired. Don't stop. You're gonna transform. May? I can't. *snarls* *growls* May? I suddenly felt a burst of energy. I felt my body twist in a weired way. Next thing I know I'm on all fours. Holy shit!!! I'm a big wolf. I have white fur. Wow. Okay. Let's try this thing out. I ran faster towards Kevin.

I managed to catch up to him. I snarled and lunged at him. We tackled each other for a while. We fell down a hill. I seen the river where I came from. We hit the bottom of the hill. Kevin got up and glared at me. His eye color turned red. He lunged for me but I dodged it. He grabbed my foot and three me into a tree. I yelped in pain. I shifted back into my human form. He gasped. "ANGEL?! Oh my God I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you." He said as he helped me up. I stated up at him. My eyes welled up with tears. I wasn't mad at him my foot just hurts.

"Angel I'm so so sorry baby. I didn't know it was you. Please don't cry baby. I fucked up." He said, grabbing his hair. "Its fine Kevin. Im not mad at you. My foot just hurts. You threw me pretty hard." I said. He came over and sat next to me. "Angel, how...?" He asked. He motioned to me. "I'm pretty surprised too. I just did what Zane told me and next thing I know I'm a giant wolf." I said. "Zane?" He asked. "Yeah. He said he saw you take off running with everyone on your tail. He told me how to find you. He told me to not stop so I can transform." I said.

He didn't say anything. I looked at him. He was staring straight ahead. He looked pissed. His eye color back to red. "Kevin, I know you guys don't like each other because if your species, but what is beef with you two?" I asked. "It's nothing Angel. I'm gonna be the mature one and let it go." He said. "Kevin it can't be nothing if you're getting pissed about." I said. I got up and squat down in front of him. "Kevin, what is it? I told you to open up to me." I said. He looked away from me.

"Okay, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. So why did you run away?" I asked. He sighed and sniffed. "It happened again." He said. "What happened again?" I asked. He looked up at me with years in his eyes. Then it clicked. "Oh my God Kevin. I'm so sorry. I should've been there to protect you. I'm sorry." I said as I wrapped my arms around him. I clutched him closer. He cried in my shirt. I can't believe someone would be interested in harming and touching their own child. It's sick and inhumane. How can you get a thrill off of that? Right. It will mess up a person's mentality. "Angel?" Kevin snapped me out of my thoughts.

I looked at him. "Hmm?" I asked. "You're shaking. And not in a cold way." He said. I looked down at myself. "I'm not doing it on purpose." I said. He stared at me. "I know. Its because you're angry." He said. I looked away and stood up. "It just pisses me off how he does this to you. Like, you're his son. And he treats like a.... Its right. That's sick. And inhumane. What sick person finds this sexually thrilling?!" I screamed and punched a tree. It flew back and knocked down a dozen trees. I kicked a boulder and it flew back into the river. I realized what I just done. I looked back at Kevin. He was staring at me. "Go head and get you're anger out. You've bottled up enough over the years." Said Manny. I looked at him and the rest. Kacey stared at me and motioned for me to go ahead.

I turned and kicked more trees and boulders. I pretty much destroyed this part of the woods. When I got done I was out of breath. I walked over and sat next to the river. I looked at the water. I heard footsteps approach me. They all sat down. "God Angel. I didn't know you had that much in you." Tyler said. I sighed. "Me neither." I said. "So why now let it out?" Kevin asked. "I don't know. I've always thought that turning the other cheek and keeping it inside is the better way than letting it loose. No one likes seeing the bad side of somebody. I don't like letting my anger out. So I imagine if people saw that side of me, they wouldn't want to be my friend. But nobody is." I said.

"I'm you're friend." Said a voice. I turned to see Zane. I smiled a weak smile. He came closer to me. I felt Kevin tense up. I noticed Kacey did too. "Hey Zane. Thanks for helping me find Kevin." I said. "No problem." He said, smiling. I noticed the back of Kacey's head. Her hair moved but she didn't. That can't be good. Nope. I then stood up and walked over to him. "How'd you know we be over here?" I asked. "I followed your scent." He said causally. "My scent?" I asked. "Yeah, you smell like vanilla. What do I smell like?" He asked, stepping closer. I heard Kevin growl.

"Like shit." Kacey said. Her and Kevin laughed. I turned to glare at them. I sniffed Zane and said,"You smell like cinnamon." He smiled. I felt coning off my back. Great, now Kevin's behind me. I turned back to the water and walked towards it. "Angel what are you doing?" Manny asked. "I'm going swimming. Y'all wanna come?" I asked. They looked at each other. "I'll dry you off when we get done." I said, as I walked into the water and dove in. I splashed my tail, hoping to make them come in.

I surfaced to see everyone running in. I smiled. "Angel, we can't really see too well in the water." Kacey said. I held up my finger and dove under. I swam to get some seaweed. My vision was perfect because I was a mermaid. I surfaced to see everyone. I used my moon ring to enhance the seaweeds. I held it out. "Eat it." I said. "Uh uh. Hell no." Zane said. "If you want to see well and hold your breath for long, you have to." I said. Kacey swam forward and ate it. "Mm. It actually doesn't taste that bad." She said. I gave it out to the rest of them. They ate it and agreed it wasn't that bad.

I dove under and swam with them. It was awesome. I looked around to see them smiling and playing with seaweed. I shook my head, smiling. I felt someone wrap their arm around my waist. Thinking it was Kevin, I turned and kisses him. I opened my eyes to see it was not Kevin. It was Zane. I saw red in the corner of my eyes. I turned to look. It was Kevin. Ah shit.
