Sven just shook his head. There was nothing he needed. He spoke a few moments with William and then noticed that he couldn't much longer sustain his normal eye colour. He didn't mean to frighten anyone under those circumstances.

"Excuse me please, it seems the jet lag caught up with me." He yawned. "Thank you for the meal."

You had most of it anyway.

He chided Cynare, without much energy, though. He nodded at both his siblings and went upstairs to his room.

Marie and William nod to him and then look at the two siblings left. Leon just looks at her parents as Sven leaves. She ignores his remark. She is amused by it though. She does not show it. William sighs, "Well Le Le, we will be off. Your mother and I have to some function." Marie sighs, "But we have guest." William shakes his head, "Le has guest." Marie nods.

Her parents are quick, they dress and leave in a hour. They are very polite and inform Leon they won't be back until after midnight. Once they are gone, Leon relaxes on the sofa. "They seem to be satisfied for now." She says and closes her eyes.

It's time we started looking for our parents. Mother must be worrying by now. She has to know we're of age to remember.

Leon gets up and walks into her room. She doesn't even open the door. She walks through it. She used to sneak in the house doing the exact same thing. She goes to her computer and checks her myspace page. A few friends have replied. They want her on facebook. Facebook is not personal enough for what she's doing in.

Leon checks a few site. Maybe their father has finally put up a website. He said he would someday. She wonders what it would be called. Maybe she should try talking to him mentally.

So what do you two think we should do about our parents? Should we start looking immediately. Does anyone have any ideas?

She asks them both and then looks out her window for a long moment.

Zoren sat on the bed and held his head. His vision had changed. Even the flowers in the vase had an aura now. He stared a while into the mirror and watched his red eyes. He could hear voices in his mind, the clearest was Cynare's.

He felt Leon's foster parents leave, but stayed in his room, sat back on the bad and started to remember... Mother and father, as clear as if they stood in front of him... Memories, battles, smells, noises, more voices.

He reached out and felt the bag across the room and made it fly over to him. He brushed his black hair out of his face. It had grown a little longer as part of the change. Zoren grinned as he heard Cynare's words:

Ah, that's why you got on so well with Marie. She reminded you on mother?

He noticed Cynare changing location. He reasoned that others - angels and demons must be probably able to sense them as well.

We should change location soon. Zoren suggested.

Leaving the city to where there is less 'pollution'.

He referred to people's thoughts, emotions and other technical interferences he wasn't familiar with yet. Humanity had evolved tremendously in the last hundred years. it was nothing in comparison to the last four centuries.

Leon listens to Sven. He's right. They have to leave soon. She should quit her job. She will have no time to work. It's a good thing she's been saving since she remembered. Seventy five percent of her paycheck each week. She's done well to save a good amount.

She looks at her computer screen. She should do a search.

"It's been a long time Cynare." She looks up out her window hearing the voice. She can see him sitting on a roof half a mile away. "Azazel, why are you here?" She looks at him, his white wings have been banished. He smirks at her. "Cynare, I'm only here to inform you of a situation." Leon is about to go after him.

"Jerah left heaven after you were killed last time. He is now a fallen angel. The his wings weren't clipped but they are black now." Leon glares at him. She would never admit it but he is the one angel she always liked. Everyone could see that Jerah was in love with her. She would never admit she felt the same about him, not even to him. It's obvious to her siblings though, they know about her eyes.

"Why should I can what that silly angel did?" Azazel laughs at her. "I just thought you should know about your ally." Leon opens the window. "You wouldn't want to start a commotion now. In broad daylight. And don't you have house guest? I'd hate to have to take it out on your new family."

Leon sits on the window sill. Marie and William need not be dragged into this. Of course they know about her 'parents' now. "I'll be on sacred ground if you want to talk." Leon watches as his wings appear and he files off. She sighs and closes her eyes. She will go to the cemetery tonight at midnight. She will speak to him. Most likely Sven and Yriue will have to meet with their nemesis as well. It always starts with this meeting.

Zoren, it will begin soon. Are you ready?

She does not contact Yriue about it yet. It seems their sister may not be ready for this yet. Sadly time is no longer on their side.

[I suppose Azazel is an angel?]

Zoren held his head and extended his hand - through the closed door. Closing is eyes he moved through it into the hallway. His back ached, his wings wanted to come out, but he didn't mean to cause any damage in this house.

What did Azazel want?

Zoren replied. Clearly they had been found first - he wasn't really surprised, but it was annoying - this eternal game of hide and seek.

He went to Cynare's room and entered without knocking first. He looked disgruntled. In his recent incarnations he seemed to grow slightly more inclined towards his father's side.

"I'll be ready if I have to." He said. "I am going to leave. We are both attracting the enemy already."

[Yes Azazel is an angel and Jerah is a fallen angel]

Leon sighs heavily and looks to her door.

He just wanted to let us know our friend Jerah is now a fallen angel. And he wants to meet on sacred ground. There's a graveyard at the edge of town.

Leon closes her eyes annoyed. He found her already. She had hoped to have a week at least. She doesn't know if they are ready. She looks at Sven as he comes in. He's getting a hold of his powers quickly.

"I'm sure your nemesis will be there. Won't you enjoy your talk?" She says jokingly but the tone is not there. "And what about Yruie? What do we do with her?"

Leon walks to her wall. She looks around for a moment thinking. "Marie and William... have to leave soon"

Leon says nothing as she thinks about Jerah. For three lifetimes that stupid angel made his affection for her known by all. Did he actually turn his back on heaven for her. What good did that do. She hates angels and just because he's a fallen angel will not change that. What does he expect her to do?

Leon punches the wall leaving a hole. She sighs and goes to get the things she has in her room to fix the hole. She does it quickly.

Zoren regarded Leon with a fake smile. "He wouldn't be my nemesis if I'd enjoy talking with him. But I won't let you go alone. We can leave Yruie here behind for the moment."

Zoren's eyes had turned red again and he observed Leon as she paced around her room. "Even if they are your foster parents and even if they are kind people you shouldn't get too attached to them. They might use our human foster parents against us again, but we cannot let ourselves be blackmailed that way."

Leon punched the wall. Zoren shrugged it off. He had stopped trying to save every single human being, that got involved through cowardly enemy tactics. It might seem uncharacteristic for someone with a dominant angelic side, but it couldn't be helped.

Leon looks at Sven once she is finished. His eyes crimson red, just like her brother in her memories. Her eyes a soft black, almost gray as she looks at him. She's a little annoyed but so they're not gray.

"Of course I can't be too attached to them. You and Yriue were the ones to have that problem alot." Leon looks at Sven, "Yriue the most tho." Zoren had always been the perfect blend of angel and demon. While Yriue has been like an angel with a dark side to her. Cynare, herself, has always leaned towards her demonic side, the angelic side much weaker. She has observed this to be true during all their 'lives' if you can call it that.

Zoren has a temper though, if she remembers correctly. He can be worse than her if he wants to and more angelic than Yriue. The perfect mix he is. "You are right, Yriue is not ready it seems. We will have to do this alone for a while. She should be fine tho. They don't usually provoke her." She smirks, "They love to provoke us."

Zoren didn't always have it easy, especially not in the beginning when he was born. He had never told any of his siblings that in times of doubt and despair he had looked up to them as examples. And from his soft side he had modelled himself after Cynare, admiring her for her emotional detachment as well as pitying her at times for it.

He shrugged. "I learnt my lesson, can't blame me for caring about other people. But since we are not in heaven here, I do not need to obey to anyone's rules." He smirked briefly as if saying, that they made the rules down here on Earth. His face expression turned indifferent again.

"Annoying they are. Almost depressing how they seem to be mainly controlled by their ego, the pride, the 'honour', or revenge..."

He turned away and closed his eyes, to keep the pain of the metamorphosis in control. He left Leon's room and went downstairs to go into the garden behind the house...

Taking off his shirt he knelt into the grass and dug his fingers into the soil, in an attempt to have sth to hold onto and then let go...

Breathing hard he could barely suppress a yell as pain rushed through his body - engulfed in a bright white light wings burst from his back, cutting through nearby bushes and tree branches.

He infolded his wings and sat down panting. His skin had turned pale grey. Otherwise his body had not changed much.
