Helkior got onto the bed next to her, his wings encircling them both as though he was a mother hen guarding her baby chicks. "I hope you don't mind this." he said as they lay there. "I intend to protect you while you sleep."<br/><br/>As he lay there, he began to think about his old life. He had killed so many people without regret until now. If the human race was anything like Bre, then why had the Council of Elders ordered their deaths? As he heard Bre's steady breathing, he found himself questioning what was right and what was wrong.<br/><br/>"What the hell am I doing? The Elders were killed as soon as I was out of the picture." he mumbled. suddenly he thought he saw something moving outside the window. Carefully moving so that he didn't wake up Bre, He walked over to the window and whispered "Show yourself!"<br/><br/>"Gladly!" A voice said from outside the window, and a figure rose from the shadows.<br/><br/>"What the- Is that you Nephilos?" Helkior said with a surprised gasp.<br/><br/>"You do remember me! Well isn't that great! But why are you keeping company with a mortal? don't you remember how they almost wiped us out?" The other man who had been revealed to be Nephilos said. "Death won't be happy with you at all if he finds out."<br/><br/>Helkior straightened his back. "What do you want in return for you keeping silent about this?" He asked, an untrusting look in his eye.<br/><br/>Nephilos smirked. "You know me too well... I want her to make a pact with you. Think about it. We both benefit that way. We get a new soul on our side, she gains demonic power, and you get the girl without the disapproval of the Council." Nephilos' smirk widened. "You have two months." and he disappeared into the shadows.<br/><br/>"Nephilos you BASTARD!!!" Helkior yelled. His long time friend had just told him to make a deal with Bre. he scowled as he realized his screaming of the word bastard had probably woken her up.
