Shopping for clothes

He was still thinking. 'Right? I mean she doesn't think it's a date...does she?'

From inside, she looked to the window. Seeing the two talk, she really got a sting of jealousy, and not thinking about what she did, she got up, and went to the toilet, through the window there, outside. There, she looked around, and walked into an alley.

*Cad walked inside, and saw that Amber wasn't at the table.*

He walked in and saw Cad standing away from the table. "Where'd Amber go?" He was a little worried, and then he realized that she was worried about how he felt about Cad earlier. "Oh no, she didn't misunderstand and take off, did she?"

"Looks like it. And boy is she the jealous type..."

In a back alley, a block away from the restaurant, Amber sat down against the wall, sunk to the ground in tears, and covered her face. I had it all, in one night. A husband, a daughter, a new house, new job. Then Cad came, helped me with my personal issues as Angel, and made it perfect. But now they ...

He bit his thumb, he couldn't think of where she would go. The worst part was this was his first time in the Angel world so he didn't even know his own way around. "Do you know where she might have gone?" He was growing more and more worried. He felt like it was his fault.

"Knowing a kid like her...probably not too far, try the alley out back." *Cad walked back outside, thinking*

Amber was still curled up in the same place, crying. It was too perfect to be true, it all happened so close to one another, I should have known ...

He took off out the door and headed for the alley. "Amber, Amber where are you?!" He pushed passed a few people to get to the alley.

In a radical decision, hearing Gyanburã, she stood up, and ran further into the alley, until she ran into a couple stapled boxes, and fell down on the floor.

*Cad sat on the nearby square's fountain, thinking. 'Did I go too far? Should I really attempt to take another Angel's mate? I love him, and yet, loving him means hurting Amber...'*

Gyanburã went into the alley and continued calling out. "Amber, please, where are you?!" Then suddenly it stopped; he had just realized something. He use to be a scumbag bent on taking peoples money and blood no matter what the cost was. When did it change? When did he become like this. It only lead to one thing, he found people he cared about. He took off sprinting.

*'...Amber. If I found a mate...' Cad was deep in thought. She had to figure out a solution. She'd created a mess of things, as always.*

Amber was lying in the couple of boxes, with a cut on her left arm, and a bruise on her right knee. She was too tired from the shopping, and crying, and couldn't get up from the cartons. Feeling her blood on her arm, running down slowly, she didn't know if Gyaburã would catch her smell, and if he did, what he would do.

*'It's a tough decision...but I'll have to give up on the first love I've found since I became...this.' Cad looked at herself in the reflection of the water. 'If I were still a male angel...I would have liked Amber as she was...but I'm not.' Cad walks calmly towards the alleyway, where she looked for amber.*

Suddenly he was over come with the sent of blood, it was taking him. He followed it, his eyes were wider than ever and he found Amber lying on a couple of boxes. "Hey, are yo-" He grabbed his chest again, he was hungry. He stood like a statue.

She looked over her shoulder, seeing Gyanburã standing a couple of yards behind her. I knew it, that's why he's here ... She tried to get up, and wanted to run away, but her body wouldn't let her in the stress she was in.

*Cad saw Gyanbura clutching his chest. 'Is he alright!?' She runs over to him.* "Are you okay? Something wrong?"

Gyanburã took out his coin and started flipping. His vampire instincts were taking over. He began a strut towards Amber. "Heads or tails, who will fail? Oh am i hungry?!" He was singing, but he tried to resist from the inside. He was too late.

"Great..." *Cad low swept Gyan off his feet, and then she saw Amber on the ground, between the crates* "..."

He finally mustered up enough will power to fight the urge of a small moment. "Cad knock me out and take Amber and run! Now, before it's too late!"

"..." *'Do I stay and fight him, or do as he asks...I'm sure I can take him...he doesn't look like that old a vampire...'* "...you want blood...take mine!" *Cad held out her arm and wing in a 'come and get it' gesture*

"What, don-" Before he could finish the instinct came back. He began laughing and started flipping again. "Thank you soo much for the offer, but, before I do, I want to tell you a little secret. I'm 200 years old, and my birthday cake was the clerk down at the convenient store. Isn't it funny how time fly's? Well I've already said too much." He charged at her.

"And here I was going to tell you something..." *Cad attempts to dodge, with him clipping her wing a bit* "...that I loved you. But I want Amber to be happy...so I won't pursue you...but I will also not let you harm her."
