Lost and Found
Chapter Twenty-Eight
"I'd Give My Soul"

------

Ivan came to a sudden halt as he reached the mouth of the allyway. He had long since left Aiden behind. The vampire's bright eyes could see perfectly in the dark gloom of the ally shadows, but for once, Ivan wished he couldn't.

Miles had Desmond in his arms, pressing Aiden's blood-soaked jacket to the fallen angel's back, trying to slow the bleeding. He looked up at the vampire, his brown eyes meeting Ivan's bright violet ones. "I'm sorry Ivan..." he said quietly as the vampire stepped into the ally, "'e's almos' gone...."

The vampire knelt down silently and he gently took Desmond into his own arms. The fallen angel's eyes were closed, but his breathing was short and ragged. He was pale from loss of blood and his entire body was trembling. Ivan felt unbidden tears slide down his cheeks at the sight of his broken angel. "Oh, Desmond...." He whispered.

Desmond's deep green eyes slowly flickered open. "I-Ivan...."

Ivan held the fallen angel close to him. "Desmond... who did this...?"

But it was Miles who answered. "'E said i' was Isac's fledglin's." His voice was low and angry as he said it.

When Isac's name was mentioned, Desmond seemed to remember something. He trembled more tightly as he remembered Rowan's words. "O-one lover... f-for an-nother.... You... killed S-simon... so h-he...." His voice broke as he trembled again.

The tears continued to flow as Ivan burried his face against Desmond's neck, holding him close. "Desmond, I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry...."

Desmond's green eyes were slowly growing foggy and his heartbeat was weakening. It isn't fair.... Desmond thought. Why can't I ever just stay... with you? His eyes flickered closed again. "Ivan... I-I love... you...."

"No.... Desmond, please, no.... Don't say goodbye, please...." Ivan wept. He knew that this time... this time, Desmond couldn't come back. And the thought.... The thought that Desmond's soul was damned because he was a fallen was more then Ivan could bare. "Oh God, please...." He didn't want to lose his angel.

Miles was the only one who glanced up as Aiden finally reached the others. His face fell as he looked into the ally. Immediately he looked at Miles, who was covered in Desmond's blood. "Isn't there anything we can do?" He asked, his voice frantic.

The rogue angel looked at the boy sadly. "I tried, mate. Believe meh, I tried. I don' think a fallen's woun's can beh healed by anothe'."

Ivan was oblivious to any but Desmond. The fallen angel was still trembling tightly, and his breathing was slower now. There was so much that Desmond wanted to say... wanted to tell Ivan.... But he was no longer strong enough to speak. I love you, Ivan. I love you so much....

"I told you, Desmond... I told you I would give my soul for you...." Ivan whispered into Desmond's ear as he held the dieing angel, unable to stop his tears or keep his voice from breaking. "I promise, I'll find you.... I swear.... I love you, Desmond...."

But Desmond could no longer hear him. His heartbeat slowly faded, and then it was gone completely.

Tears streamed down Aiden's face. His golden slitted eyes fixed on the ground in front of him, his hands curled into tight fists at his side, so hard that his claw-like nails dug into his palm, small drops of blood falling silently to the cement.

There was a long, terrible silence. Ivan was the first to break it. And when he spoke, his voice was hollow and cold.

"Miles.... Tell me how... to visit Hell."



                                             THE END</u>
Book Three:
At Hell's Gates


*runs way..just in case..*

DUN SHOOT ME!!
There's another book!! The first chapter is already complete, I just have to type it up on the comp!!



Other then that....
I dun like this chapter. XP NOT because of Desmond dieing, but just because I don't like how I wrote it. I was trying REALLY hard not to sound so much like chapter 15 of Broken Angels.
And I wasn't sure how to word much of this, what with Miles and Aiden being there.... So yeah. XP I think this chapter is crap, but... tell me what you think?
