She led her head on her paws still lied on Emmas bed. She no longer had to concentrate on Fox to pik up the connetion he was close enough.
"Is the human ok?" she asked him with a bit more worrie then she would of liked. "Who is the guy down stairs" she was going to burst with questions, but decided to give fox time to answer.

"All i''m saying it that "Fox" guy seemed like a creep! Why would he just kick us out like that! I mean were 19! so what?! our ID's say 23! You always pick the weird ones! And what about his dog!? Now you have to see him again?! I would not be nice to him! She said pulling into the drive way.
"Mel! Please! I'm really tired! Can you rant more tomorrow?" She asked undoing her seat belt. Emma had to meny things on her mind to worry about Melody's rant fest. Melody nodded and unlocked the car
Emma's mother put down the phone she was so confused. Was her daughter doing what Richard said she was doing? Could she trust her anymore? So meny questions ran threw her head when Richard asked about a husband.
"I was married for a few years but it ended quickly. My Ex-husband is in Africa i think. He travels a lot." She said rubbing her arms. She suddenly felt vary cold. She had a memory of the two of them. When they were young. She had long hair back then and he looked so hansom. She quickly shook teh thought off as a car came into the drive. She looked threw the window to see it had started to rain and Melody's car was in the drive.
Emma got out quickly and ran to her door. The rain was coming down more quickly then before. She looked out into the rain and felt like she was being watched. She waved to her friend and opened the door. She closed it behind her and saw her mother standing in the living room with a man. She then noticed she knew the man. He was the one form the club. Her defense went up quickly. Now what? She though.

"No. We've never had any pets." She said looking at the man carefully. She didn't know what he wanted. If he wanted to date her mother he needed to keep walking! Emma already had a dad. She didn't want another. Though she felt like she would be seeing more of him.
"Well it was nice of you to come over Richard. I'll give you a call and maybe we could meet for coffee. would you like me to call you a cab?" She asked opening the door and seeing the rain coming down heavily.

She listend at the confo between the 3 of them. Her heart skipped a beat as she hurd the Demon ask if they had a pet "Crap!" she thought. "I really dint want to fight with a bad paw" She sighed and growled to her self so noone hurd her. "No. We've never had any pets." she hurd Emma say. Larkra instantly felt releve wash over her "Smart human, now all you have to do is keep him away from your Mother.."
Larkra concentrated on fox again "If you dont kill him i will, acleast keep him away from the family" she growled for affect. She hurd Emmas foot steps on the stairs, still on Emmas bed Larkra closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Shaking his head Fox sighed, reverting his gaze back to Greed when he had turned around, "I know your like, an asshole by nature and you can't help it, but at the very least, can we just have some respect for eachother? We are like, partners now or somethin.." He thought for a moment before continuing, "And just so you know, I liked this girls eyes.. And I need my fun now and again or I might end up like you.. All.. phycopathic and shit.. Here take the damn package and lets get to work shall we?"

"What was that about?" She asked. She wanted to get upstairs and get a shower.
"Nothing. Richard was an old friend. We was in town and though he would come and say hello. He thought he saw you earlier tonight at some weird Nightclub doing some inappropriate things with some random stranger but it wasn't you. Why don't you go upstairs and take thoughs wet clothes off." She said with a smile. Emma could tell right away that she was hiding something. Emma left it and went upstairs. She opened her bedroom door and quietly went to turn her lamp on. She smiled when she saw fox's wolf sleep on her bed. Somehow Emma figured that's where she would end up. She closed her bedroom door and pulled her wet jacket off. She went to the window and saw for a brief moment two men running down the street. She turned and flopped down on her bed. What a night!

"Greetings Hebella, its been awhile since you've graced me with your company"
Hebella nodded in greeting to Ezerale and to his brothers, and then turned his attention solely to Ezerale. "I am here on behalf of Neo and the Cebelest, the authorities have commissioned a declaration of intent, that would see you returning to earth as an aid." Halen's brow furled, and Jeross smirked, but Ezerale silently waited for Hebella to continue. "There is a mission, one which concerns an object of immense power and capability, one that rivals that of the Creator.
"Blasphemy!" Ezerale roared rising to his feet. "Our father is the alpha and the omega, beginning and end, there is no other" Hebella remained calm in the face of Ezerale's rage, waiting for him to subside. It did not happen, so Hebella forged ahead.
"The Creator himself has declared its danger, and his intent to obtain it for his righteous work. Open your mind Ezerale, this is important." Ezerale stayed standing but spoke calmly now.
"What am I to do on earth"
"Your role is that of guardian, both to our work on this mission and our candidate in the quasi race. You will of course answer to Neo, and by subsequent rank the candidate himself, Astra."
Ezerale slowly brushed his hands along his hair, while staring directly into Hebella's mind. "And why, my dear, dear brother, am I answering to someone other than the elected authority of the Celebest?"
"Because quite frankly Ezerale its the only option other than a chain and collar, and I swear I am not above using it if it becomes necessary. The last time you were on earth you caused a lot destruction that could be viewed as counterproductive to our Father's holy will, a very serious charge if you'll remember. You answer to both now and will bind yourself in restraint or be judged before our Lord. Do I make the will of the Celebest clear?"
"As the lamb my brother, I accept and joyfully follow the work of our Lord" after Ezerale spoke the words of parting, Hebella left the room.
"Brother" Jeross spoke "You return to creation, are you not excited?" Ezerale regarded his brother and then closed his eyes.
"I have always known my work was not yet done"
****************************************************************************************************************************
Ezerale's breath was sucked out of him and the feeling of shooting through water engulfed him, propelling his human form through the cosmos and finally breaking through a wave onto earth. He blinked his eyes and looked around him, taking in the surrounding forest and apparent road he was standing on. He looked down at his human form and cocked his head to one side. He was a lanky teenager, with blondish short hair and a fairly pale complexion. He was also completely nude save for a large iron cross hanging from his neck and a bag he had slung over his shoulder. Seemingly without thought he started walking in a direction down the road, not even bothering to stick to a side. Soon headlights filled the nightime and Ezerale stopped to wait the approach of the two circles of light. It was bright and encompassing, but that was not bothersome to the angel. A horn filled the air and screeching brakes sounded out, causing Ezerale to to put one hand to his head. The semi swerved but managed to regain control, coming to a complete stop before the naked lad.
"What.....the.....F***K!" the trucker screamed out her window. "Are you high? tripping on your damn boomers like a godless hippy, standing nude in the road, you could have gotten killed!"
"I assure you ma'am, I am not godless, just the opposite, and I need your help to carry out our father will."
The woman stayed hanging out her window for awhile staring at Ezerale and then shook her head, climbing back into the cab of the semi and motioning him to hop in. "Were ya headed" she asked when he climbed in the passenger.
"New York"
"Well I pass through there, so there's that." She started driving again and lit a cigerette, waiting for Ezerale to say something. When he sat motionless staring ahead, she flicked her cigarette in irritation and gave him another appraising look. "Seriously though, you high?"
"As in the high that is obtained from drugs ma'am? No, I have no vices, such as the opium or any other."
"Well, I don't care if you are, I don't judge anybodies actions."
"I do" Ezerale said, and then stared out the window.

"FOR SATAN'S SAKE!!!" ::His voice shouted outward towards the ocean as he knew no human would dare come out this late to come to the beach, unless they were either doing the 'reproduction' act, or just simply to get some alone time perhaps. Either way, it did not matter, the objective was nowhere nearby and he was pissed as hell:: "Don't you dare point that gun at me when I say, going over my head just so I can go somewhere when I just arrived here in the first place, is INSANITY!!! And don't use your master as an excuse, as far as I am concerned, she is no master to me!" ::He said, kicking sand multiple times as he growled angered by this::

"I saw your owner tonight at the night club I went to. There something about him. He just seems like he always has some big secret." Emma said scratched the wolf behind the ears.

"I will like to purchase gentleman's clothing" he announced to no one specific. When a tailor or shop owner didn't approach he began walking around, taking in the ridiculous styles and prudent accessories.
"Hi! Can I help you?" A girl approached him and took in his nakedness, before smiling nervously.
"Clothing please, the current style of this land." The girl lead him to a corner of a store. "Lets try this on, changing rooms are right over there." Ezerale put on the baggy decorated pants and the t shirt with a huge elaborate graphic. Finally he slipped on the hat and looked at himself in the mirror. Walking out, he handed the hat to the girl.
"This seems awfully.....informal." The girl nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, well Street Edge doesn't really carry formal wear....but we do have some nice shirts and jackets. A half hour later Ezerale was walking out of the store in black pants and open jacket, with a white dress shirt. He felt ready now to find this Astra. Well, almost ready, he needed more items of monetary value. He unslung his bag and perused the items inside. before pulling out a strange device that hadn't been there before. It had a glass square at the top, and letters on small squares on the bottom. He pushed one button, and the phone instantly began dialing a number. A small voice emitted out of the device.
"Heaven's Economy Inc, Heidi speaking." Ezerale stared at the phone and then slowly raised it to his ear.
"Greetings Heidi, I am Ezerale, servant of the Lord"
"Ah yes, Ezerale, the schedual shows you would be on earth now. How may help you?
"I need paper currency for my mission"
"Your calling for money? Well sure, we give operative increments of $4,000, acceptable?"
"Yes, that will be acceptable" The girl informed him that taped to the back of the phone was a credit card that would be loaded with the money. Ezerale thanked her and then began to go shopping, stopping at the grocery store, a gas station, and finally an army surplus store. As the sun began to set he sat in a park and emptied his bag, selecting a bowl, a wooden stave, and compass. Filling the bowl with water he recited a few words and set the stake in the bowl, letting it float for awhile. "Find me Astra." The stake began to spin wildly before settling on a cardinal direction. He looked at the compass and waited for it to sync up with the bowl. When it had, he began walking. After hours and hours of traversing the never ending city, he stood before a nightclub that was clearly in the throes of intense sinning. Ezerale licked his lips, it had been so long since he had been on earth. In times past he would have quickly judged and dispatched most everyone in the bar, but he had new orders, new masters, and a metaphorical chain and leash on him. What was most interesting is what the candidate was doing in a den of sin. Taking a deep breath and fingering his cross, he walked towards the club entrance.

It wasn't long before Fox could be seen looking through a little case of lockpicks, and different types of silencers for his favourite pistol. "Just be glad I'm not drunk huh? and for the sake of it, please follow my lead this once, I've done this before sadly" Fox sighed as he pulled out even more over the top items, like inflatable, easy to use backbacks/suitcases. "Technology of the 21st century! what a perfect world we live in.. You are up for this right..?" He looked at Greed before loading his gun and relocking the safety.

"Don't even bother pulling out your fake kid, there's no way in hell I'm letting you in" Ezerale looked at the man.
"You deny me entrance to your establishment?"
"Yeah, now get your punk ass outta my sight"
"By obstructing me you obstruct the work of our Lord" The bouncer raised his eyebrow and moved to herd the kid to the side. Ezerale allowed the man to walk him several feet, and then pivoted on his toes bringing his shin against the back of the thug's knee. The bouncer fell and Ezerale caught him on the chin with his elbow. The man was out cold. To the people in the line it appeared as if the bouncer had tripped and Ezerale caught him, and when the angel saw more people were confused than willing to help, he shouldered the giant and walked him inside. Once indoors he tossed the body aside, taking out his compass and deciding to ignore the gratuitous amount of sin going on around him. To go berserk and start judging and dispatching would have been preferable, however he was loyal to the will of his father, and therefore obedient the will of the Celebest. They were fairly clear on the fact that a righteous massacre shouldn't happen unless the candidate was in direct danger. Or just preferably not at all.
"Sorry young man I didn't see you there" Ezerale barely registered the youth walking past, that is until his compass pulled a 180 on him and remained fixed towards the exit. Ezerale followed the compass's move and turned towards the door, following the person who had shouldered him. They walked outside, one after the other, and Ezerale caught his shoulder
"Brother Astra Telon, are paths finally cross, let us find a place away from the pit to converse." The young man stared at Ezerale like the angel had been speaking french. "I am Ezerale the Thorough, your aid..." Nothing. Ezerale eyed the angel "Brother, have you been consuming the fermented wines and ales of that establishment?"

She wasnt paying much attention to Emma untill she something about Fox
"I saw your owner tonight at the night club I went to. There something about him. He just seems like he always has some big secret." Emma said.
Larkra growled slightly at the word 'Owner' "Human you have no idead how big his secret is, and he has no idea how bad things are going to get.." she went in to her own little bubble of thoughts. Larkra saw Emma put some water down for her and she decided she could use a drink. She carefull hopped down fromt he humans bed and drank what was in the bowl.
Larkra looked up at Emma on the bed "Why do u make me feel so safe" she sighed to her self and jumped back on to the bed lieing next to Emma and closed her eyes, for the third time that night Larkra fell asleep.

"Brothers of the Celebest, a Declaration of Intent has been write, the Angel Ezerale the Thorough has been commissioned to aid in the mission over control of the source on earth. He will aid the angel Astra Telon the candidate and answer to both us and the earth delegation. His crimes of extensive corporal death in France have been temporarily pardoned in this emergency state. Ezerale, do you accept this decleration?" The angel was standing in the center of a colossal antechamber, the same that he had been sentenced in several centries ago.
"I do"
"Then the Celebest has concluded the proceedings, Ezerale, you will be sent to Earth by the first cycle." The chamber emptied and Ezerale was left standing in the center. An angel approached him and stood beside him, taking in the empty room.
"Hebella."
"Ezerale."
"So your services are needed on Earth, you will surely shine with the light of righteousness in your time there." If Hebella hadn't been an angel Ezerale would have assumed that was a loaded statement, however angels weren't much for subtle jabs.
"Indeed, I look forward to it. Although, I must admit, I know nothing of the candidate." Hebella shrugged.
"There's not much you need to know, he's an Earth sider, born and raised on creation, 500 years old, a born hunter and fighter....much like yourself." Ezerale took this in with little reaction. Ezerale didn't care much for age, it was action, not experience that impressed him, and quite frankly this angel Astra appeared to be up for the task.
"Thank you brother, you have adequately prepared me, I go forward with joy in my task"
"Astra, there are things you need to know, you live in this world, but you are not of it. Astra, you are an angel, a servant of God, and you have a very important task given to you." Ezerale could see his comrade was beginning to show signs of incredulous, so he decided to switch to the angelic language. Amnesia or not, understanding of the heavenly tongue would always stay with an angel. The sound could easily be mistaken for music on earth, and as Ezerale began speaking in a hushed tone, a baby in a nearby both stopped crying, his mother even forgetting about her over due bills and enjoying herself. "You must find a source of power Astra, a girl who has a genetic strand with, although this is heresy, god-like abilities. We need her Astra, we need you, and I'm here to remove in obstacles you might encounter. Brother, do you understand?"

He turned to speak to Ezerale "I'm sorry about that but I get VERY emotional over deaths who didn't deserve it" he looked around to see no one was around but them. "Come on we have a mission to do don't we?" He spoke in a stressed way obviously still angry about what happned back then.

After a moment, Fox looked up at Greed as he looked the map over, then the phone. "Anyway, since I've been here before, I know pretty much what we need to avoid, and what we need to do to make sure the alarm is down and that nothing disturbs us.." he though for a moment. "Also, we shouldn't run into any Angels, as they don't stumble into this sort of territory" Smiling slightly, Fox felt the rush of exitement and exiliration for what he was about to do, as he always enjoyed a bit of fun. "When your ready to go, catch me up, I'll be up there on the street" he pointed up the hill, and began to walk until he was out of sight and on the pavement once more.
