Chapter 20 - Chapter 19 Night shift

" I need you two, to watch the headquarters for me, can you do that?" Salvatore said questioning the pare of them, they looked at Salvatore nonchalant,

"Sal, we can do this, but there will still be security right?" Avalon said suspiciously

"Yes, there will be security, I am not dumb," Salvatore said

Marcello shakes his head, at Avalon's bizarre statement,

"Yeah, we'll have a good night Sal, remember to kiss Jane on the way out," Avalon said with a cheeky smile,

"I will..... wait for a minute," Salvatore said first with confusion then embarrassment

before Avalon closed the door in his face,

Marcello chuckled at what he witnessed in front of him,

"So, looks like it is just the two of us," Avalon said walking up to him,

"Indeed it is," Marcello said trying to avoid her glazes,

Avalon sat down in Salvatore's Chair,

"Avalon, I have a couple of questions I have to ask you," Marcello said

"Ok, what are your demands," Avalon said

"What are you?" Marcello said

"What I am, I am. I'm a human being," Avalon said bewildered at his statement,

"You can turn things silver, you can now make silver knives come out of your hands, your spirit can come out of your body without you dying," Marcello said

Avalon sighs heavily, she leans back in the chair,

"I don't know how I do it, honestly, I just get up and....do what I can to help the helpless," Avalon said

"What do you mean you don't know?" Marcello said pushing Avalon to tell him,

Avalon shakes her head,

"What I mean by that, is all I know is that I have it, and maybe one day I will find out where I got it, but for today I am here, living in this day we call life," Avalon said a bit cryptic but smiled at him,

"Ok, have you noticed that Lucirao descent from you lately," Marcello said

"Yeah, I tried to pat him on the back but he flinched away before I could," Avalon said

"I don't know, I was just worried about him," Marcello said

"I don't know why I didn't do anything, did I?" Avalon said saddened

"No, you didn't, for all that I know, he won't tell us," Marcello said

both sighs of frustration,

"Hey, want to play some video games?" Avalon said

Marcello was about to answer, but an alarm was set off,

"We can't have a peaceful night can we?" Avalon said

"Apparently," Marcello said got up to check the security room, with Avalon not far behind him,

"What are we doing here idiot," Ally said annoyed by being there,

"You did not listen to one word the boss said, didn't you?" Blake said

"Yes I did, I just need to clarify why we are here," Ally said

"The boss wants us to spy on Avalon, to see and record how powerful she is," Blake said much to his dismay of being near Ally,

"Why do you have to watch her, you and I have already done that for four years, she can get one of the newbies to do it," Ally said

"Cause we know her, we would know what she would do, and how she would do it," Blake said

she just rolled her eyes at his reasoning,

"Yeah, whatever," Ally said

before their attention turned back to the building, the alarms that sounded off into the distance,

"What the hell is happening there?" Ally said confused

"I have no idea, did the boss say anything about this," Blake said thinking it's Tigers eye doing,

"No, she did not say a word to me," Ally said not tearing her eyes from the building,

"If this is not us then who is it?" Blake said

"Hey what is going on in here," Marcello said

two security guards looked at the both of them,

"Well, sir, it looks like it was a false alarm," The first guard said sheepishly,

"Are you sure that is it?" Avalon said not sure not what to make of this,

"It's truly nothing, Miss Avalon," the other guard said,

"Alright call us if you need any help, I guess," Marcello said holding Avalon's hand and walking out,

both of the guards got the shivers,

"What was that?" the first one said

"I don't know, but it felt evil," the other one said

going back to his job, the other one looked around,

"Marcello, you are still holding my hand," Avalon said light blush on her face, Marcello released,

"Sorry," Marcello grumbled under his breath,

"It's ok, let's get back to Sal's office, so you and I can play video games," Avalon said was about to push him forward, but stopped when she felt something wicked draw near them,

"Marcello, there is something here. and it is not friendly," Avalon said warning him,

Marcello looked around to find a black mist on the ceiling and looked like it was about to pounce at them,

"Avalon watch out!" Marcello shouted the black mist pulled him away from her,

Avalon reached her hand out, but it was too late he wasn't there anymore,

"Avalon what's wrong," a familiar voice called out, it knocked Avalon to the ground, lifted her to the ceiling,

Avalon hand-tuned Silver and shot a beam of it at the mist,

"Not bad, they were right, you've gotten stronger," the mist said that showed itself to be Tigers eye,

"Of course, it was you. so if you can do me a favor and leave, that would be lovely," Avalon said shot another beam at her, it burned her,

"How cute, you think you can hurt me, try again," Tigers eye said, the surrounding mist covered her, she laughed taunting Avalon,

she just looked around,

"Avalon," Tigers eye said slowly turning her voice to Marcello's

"My love, don't you look so radiant today," Tigers eye said mimicking Marcello's voice,

"Cut this silliness," Avalon said blasted the beam in the thick of the haze,

"Come on honey. why don't you stop this useless fighting and come with me, and we can live happily ever after," Tigers eye said

the mist grabbed her coils around her,

"Why don't you just surrender, and be with me, don't you love me? my love," Tigers eye said through Marcello, his form comes through the mist,

Avalon felt a surge of adrenaline come through her, her hand shined brightly with silver, along her hair is now silver,

Marcello's controlled body reaped his arms around her, she is still tied up in the mist,

she looked at Marcello's eyes to see nothing but black,she turns her head away not wanting to see him like this,

her whole body started to shine, his hand slowly turned her head towards him, he smiles, leaned down, and kissed Avalon, it was rough but dull,

Avalon whole body now blazing with silver, Tigers eye yelled out in pain, she was blown out of the building, Marcello still holding Avalon, drop from the ceiling they both landed on the ground, with Avalon on top of Marcello fast asleep,

"Hey, Blake what are you looking at?" Ally said

seeing him angrily holding the binoculars,

"Nothing is wrong," Blake said still angered by what he just saw,

"Hey, what is that!?," Ally said pointedly at a black mist, coming their way,

Blake got up as the mist circles around them,

it turned in into Tigers eye, chuckled before she got up and dusting herself off,

"Boss... why are you here!?" Ally said dazedly

"You two were not lying to me when you said she got stronger," Tigers eye said

Blake looked at her apprehensively,

"What happened there, boss," Ally said help Tigers eye up,

"I wanted to see it for myself," Tigers eye said

"So did you," Blake said curiosity getting the better of him,

"Yes I did, but I think I got more than I wanted," Tigers eye said

"What do you mean by that?" Ally said

"We have a mighty opponent back there,

that even I can't handle," Tigers eye said walking down the hill,

"Hey! wait for us, I still have questions that need to be answered," Ally said following her,

Blake looked back at the shepherd, a sad smile reaching his face before he followed them to the vehicle,

"One day Avalon..... I will ask you what you did to me four year's ago," Blake said

"Where am I?" Marcello said drowsy from his nap, he felt something heavy on his chest.

looked down to see Avalon on him,

"What happened?" Marcello said confused
