A/N: This story is being written by both me and Flame800900. Unless stated otherwise I will be the one writing what Abel says and Flame will write what Cain says. We are both contributing to the extra things such as the detail, or what other characters say. Hope you Enjoy!

For a chilly winter night, the square park was normally empty, but today it was bustling with people. It was the last day for Christmas shopping and all the late shoppers where scrambling to get the items they could. For lovers, kids, parents. A smile grew on Abel's face. It would be the fifth Christmas with all his friends.

He sat on the ledge of the frozen water fountain, waiting for Lady Caterina to come out of the shop. She was looking for gifts to give everyone. She came out of the store, running towards him. She looked as though she had just won the Olympics. He shook his head, stop thinking of the past!

Caterina was only a few for steps away from him. One, two, three- CRASH. A beam of light shot from the sky broke through the clouds, and hit her. For a second Abel thought everything would be okay. That was until she collapsed. The beam of light slowly got bigger and bigger. First it was pencil thin, then it was as big as a bowling ball.

A scent struck him. Human blood. He saw the blood. It poured out around her, so se lay in a pool of her own blood. No, Caterina! Abel raced to the girl he had come to see as a daughter. NO!

The light got even bigger, almost as though it was trying to cover the whole world. It touched him, before he could get close to Caterina. Everything was covered in the light, his eye's stung, he could feel himself collapsing to the ground, but the only thing on his mind was if Caterina was okay. His world grayed and soon became pitch black.

It was a good thing Cain had never minded meetings. Caterina had kept him over this time, making him late for a meeting with Leon and Noelle. They were both joining the AX, one by force the other because she wanted to. Okay, he assumed she wanted to, why else would she be here? Not that he had wanted, it had just seemed like the best way to get Abel back at the time. Five years had passed since then and so much had changed for the humans in the group. Nothing, nothing whatsoever felt as if it had changed for Cain. His brother was still evil. His sister was still mad at him, and Lilith, well Lilith, was avoiding him by staying in the empire with Seth. Both girls blamed him for what had happened to Abel.

Shaking his head, blond hair draped into his eyes, Cain tried to focus on happier thoughts. Christmas was coming up, that was a happy thought, right? Okay, not really seeing Kate was still mad at him for correcting her, and William was too engrossed in the project of stopping Abel from becoming evil in the past… Talk about a weird Christmas this would be. Oh well, at least he wasn't hated by everyone here. Caterina, Havel, and William didn't hate him. There was that at least.

White light erupted before Cain. He sighed. "William," he could've cursed the professor. The point hadn't been for his brother to appear here in the middle of the Vatican. As the light began to die away, a frown appeared on Cain's features. This wasn't right. This Abel wasn't right. "Abel?" Cain hesitantly stepped forward. The lanky man dressed in priest robes collapsed. His long silvery hair, too long, his eyes covered by a thick pair of glasses. This couldn't be right. Cain's eyes locked on the cross Abel wore. It was Lilith's. This really couldn't be right. "William, honestly," Cain muttered, rubbing his eyes.

Cain couldn't leave Abel here. He looked at the man before moving over to him. "Hey, who's the unconscious priest, priest?" Cain could have cursed then, but held himself in check. Priests didn't swear, so he didn't swear.

"Leon, I take it, weren't you supposed to wait down stairs?" Cain asked, not turning.

"Hey, that's no way to talk to me! After all we will be partners from now on," Cain could hear the gruff man walking over to him. He forced himself to not look at the man as a large arm was swung over his shoulder. He really wanted to hit the man. "So who's that?" Leon pointed at Abel. Or… at least what he thought was Abel.

"That would be a mistake," Cain responded as he walked over to the lanky man in priest robes. Leon's arm slipped from his shoulder. This Abel wasn't the one they had been aiming for! It was the younger Abel. The Abel before the accident! And this- this was not Abel, he didn't have long hair.

"A mistake?" Leon repeated. Cain nodded his head. "What's wrong with him?"

Cain finally turned to the man. He had dark brown hair with matching colored eyes. He wore blue jeans and a leather jacket. His jacket was unzipped, and Cain could see his bare chest. On both hands he wore one silver ring.

"I think he's waking up," Cain looked to where the voice came from. A woman was crouching over Abel, it was probably this Noelle person, Caterina had told him about. Cain took a few steps toward them.

"Gah!" a shout of surprise came from Abel. Noelle's face was only inches from his own. He scooted himself backwards, away from her.

What? This couldn't be right. The Abel Cain knew would never be so cowardly. Tch, William screwed up big time, there was no way this was Abel. His brother had short hair, not long. He would never wear glasses, he didn't need them. The last thing that Abel would ever do was become a priest. Sure there was some similarities but the differences over powered them.

"Just leave him alone. Noelle, Leon, we need to get you guys AX passes," Cain turned away from them and head out the door. He could hear Noelle hesitate, but she soon followed, as did Leon.

Caterina's in danger, she needs help! Abel's eye's flew open, and he was greeted by a pair of brown eye's looking into his own. He shouted and scooted himself away. No, this wasn't person wasn't Caterina. Frantically he looked around for her. If he was in the right of mind he would have noticed he was no longer in the park, but he wasn't. Two figures cast a shadow on him. The enemy! He twisted around, and attacked the nearest one.

"Wha—" a familiar voice exclaimed in shock. A figure dressed in armored priest robes leapt back several inches, narrowly avoiding being hit.

Another form started laughing. "You sure as hell don't seem like an AX agent, Father Nightroad," laughed the gruff man.

"Calm down," the woman said, "we're not here to hurt yo-." The man Abel had attacked took hold of the woman's wrist and dragged her and the buff man out of the room. Before Abel had time to react to this sudden turn of events the door slammed in his face. A second later he could hear, a click, signaling that the door was locked.

The next moment the door unlocked. A voice which sent a chill through Abel's heart said, "Lock the door behind me. I need to see why this man is acting this way and would rather the two of you don't get hurt." There was a short pause, "Here's were Caterina's office is located. Head straight there and tell her: God's Angel has been delayed."

"Whatever," the man stated.

The next moment a tall figure slipped back into the room. The door snapped shut behind him, the lock clicking once more.

The figure turned to Abel, revealing narrow features, much like his own. The only real difference was the hair and eye color. His hair was blond, with dark blue eyes. It was Cain, his twin brother.

A mixture of emotions clouded Abel's mind. Most of it consisted of anger and hate, toward his brother, but a smaller part of him felt regret and relief.

Regret that his brother had gone crazy and betrayed him yet relief that he wasn't dead. Abel pushed these thoughts away, all that matter was Cain was evil. His entire body was pumping with adrenaline. He charged at his brother, at his enemy, the enemy of the world. A snarl escaped him, this is revenge!

"Why can't things ever be easy?" Cain grumbled. Kicking off the ground, Cain flipped over Abel. As his boots touched ground, Cain shouted, "Stop, I just want to talk!"

Please review, it would really help flame and I when we are writing on our next chapter!
