Hey guys and girls.

This has been long awaited and very much asked for.

Hope you enjoy the first Chapter of Scarlet Heart

Nora's POV

Rollercoaster Ride

I pulled up to Delphic Seaport and I already saw two cars, an Aston Martin that belonged to Vee and a 4x4 that belonged to Patch. Sirera ran up to me and squeezed me tight, smiley and bubbly like I usually saw her. I looked behind her to see Alaric give a small wave and see Vee clinging to Rodes.

She did take it well I gather.

I walk up to Patch and peck him on the lips. He holds my hand and looks at us, counts with his index and begins to tug me towards Delphic.

"Okay everyone. Let's have well deserved fun, shall we!" Patch put his arm around my waist and I laughed as Sirera ran in screaming as if she were running down a steep hill. Patch leans in to whisper to me. "You alright?" I look towards Patch and see he's still smiling, just to cover up the fact he's slightly worried about me.

"I'm fine. Crimson is gone. Relax Patch." I pull away from Patch and drift back and link my arm with Vee's. Vee pecks Rodes and drifts back as well. Me and Vee lingering and walking slowly, I look at Vee. She's looking at me, frowning and annoyed with me.

"Why, oh why, did you keep a secret as big as this from me?" Vee whispered so none of the Angels would hear.

"Vee, you must understand now. No one can know. What do you think would happen if Rodes or Patch were found out?" I looked at her with a serious expression, hoping to get the message across that knowing about Angels is a life long business.

"Well, for one, they'd be famous….OKAY! Don't look at me like that! I know, they'd be taken away and prodded at by the Christians, Muslims….so on. Just live up a little Nora! You just survived a Haza stalking you, attempting to kill you and Patch. Have fun and relax!" I frown, confused at something Vee said.

"Muslims?"

"Well, obviously, if Patch or Rodes were found out, they'd be defying all other religions. Other religions therefore, will want to know if they're legit." Vee nods to herself. I raise my eyebrows.

"Since when did you become smart?" I start to giggle and Vee digs me in the arm. We were in hysterics until we heard a loud whistle. We looked over to see Sirera whistling to us. She waves us over.

"Come on! We're going on the rides, shooting stuff and getting sweets! Don't wanna be left out right?" Sirera starts to walk away and Vee and I run towards her and I jump on Sirera but Vee runs past and jumps on Rodes, who was talking to Alaric and Patch at the time. Sirera laughs a little then looks at Vee and Rodes.

"Why she avoiding me, Nora?" Sirera links her arm with mine and gazes at Rodes and Vee, frolicking with each other.

"She's adjusting. Just give her time; she'll warm up to you! Trust me! Vee isn't someone to avoid making friends with someone as cool as you." I squeeze Sirera gently and she smiles at me. She starts to walk quicker and nods towards the boys and Vee.

"C'mon, we don't want to miss anything!" Me and Sirera run over and join the gang. We walked and talked.

We were heading towards the Arch Angel and I stopped. "The Arch Angel? You serious Patch?" I raise an eyebrow. Patch turns around, a cheeky smile on his face.

"I promise I won't play any tricks. I'll keep you safe and catch you if you fall." He kisses my hand and we head towards the entrance of Arch Angel.

We went on the Arch Angel (well I went once), about six times. Rodes turned out to be amazing on the sharp shoot and he won Vee a panda bear. Sirera was also very talented at fishing for ducks and Alaric was an ace at darts. Patch took me over to the photo booths were we got small pictures of us pecking and laughing in the booth. Eventually everyone else joined in.

It got to about 6:30pm and we decided that it was enough and decided to call it a day. Me and Vee said our byes and Sirera came over to me and gave me a hug.

"You sure she'll be friends with me?" Sirera pulls away and looks at the Arch Angel with her blue eyes that seemed to hydrate everything.

"I bet you $50 on it by the end of next week!" I squeeze and shake Sirera's hand. Sirera runs off and waves behind her. Rodes and group drove away. Patch was left standing next to me.

"You sure you-"I put a finger to his lips, know where this is heading.

"I'll be fine going home on my own. You go and relax!" I kiss Patch on the lips softly and pull away, although Patch pulls in for another soft peck. Patch kisses my cheek and walks away to his 4x4. He pulls out and drives away. I walk over to my Audi and get in, starting the ignition and reversing, driving on the main road and heading for home.

While driving home I let my mind wander. Crimson was gone and I could finally have a normal dream unless Sirera persisted on seeing me in the night. Mom was okay and Sirera had no effects from Crimson being killed. Vee is happy with Rodes and Patch is still being protective of me, since it's his job and all. There is something that concerns me.

I have this weird feeling, this weird hunch that me, Vee, Patch or anybody else is safe yet. I had a feeling that someone is still out there and is watching, getting ready. I was still tense.

I suppose it's because everything has happened in such a short space of time. I shuffle in my seat and try and release the tension, keeping my attention on the road.

I walk in my house and lock the door behind me. Mom is on the sofa, reading a magazine, she lifts her gaze from her magazine to look at me and looks at me like she's about to give a lecture.

"Did you have fun?" I nod and point upstairs.

"I'm tired. I'm going to catch up on sleep, okay?" Mom nods and goes back to her magazine. I run upstairs and enter my room.

The windows are open and I get shivers. I rush over and slam them shut, putting the locks on and I sit on the end of my bed, realizing that I'm shaking and out of breath. I got to my drawers and put my pj's on and slip in bed, turning the light off prior.

I felt like someone was watching me.

But Crimson is gone!

Why am I scared?

Dun-dun-duuu!

Like it?

Want me to continue?

Love Ya
