It was nice to have Logan around and not have to pretend to hate him. It was nice to be acting relatively human, and the best part for Alex was the happiness he saw in his sister. She was normally so down and it was hard to be around her when she was teetering on the dark side. Hell, her composed was difficult because he could see the constant inner struggle. If only she would accept the light too, her.mood would carry like it was now, bringing a calm demeanor about. He.liked that about her angelic half. He truly did.
However, he brought his attention back to Clary and Jordyn would continued to look at the photos. "Oh, Blaze was bad the first week away. You'd probably never believe it, but Storm kept her going." He said, his eyes falling on the hound sitting alert near Billie and Logan. "They are mates, bound forever now. And Storm is very protective of his Billie and his Blaze. Little known fact about hellhounds, they are loyal above all else."
The question about the pups caused him to shake his head. "Not normally, no, but it's because Storm is an older hellhound. If you notice he is quite a bit larger than Blaze, and he was the runt of his litter. But they won't get nearly as big as he is. Maybe a little bigger than Blaze." He explained, and he.patted her head. It was kind of cute to see her looking at
the.photos before.he spoke to her. "Next week, Blaze, you'll have them back."
She placed her head more.on Jordyn's lap, but more.prominently. Alex smiled to Jordyn when Clary and Logan headed off. "Well, we are about to take this party up to our dorm. If you want to come along, you are more than welcome, if not I can walk you back to yours."
He stood, giving Billie back her photo album and offering a hand to Jordyn before allowing himself to offer his arm. "Lead me." He said before turning to Billie.briefly, seeing Blaze ready to follow.him. "You gonna be alright?"
"I have Storm, I'll be up after a minute. Just need a bit of time is all." She said, and Alex nodded, heading away with Jordyn, watching the fire go out at his will.
"So, when the pups come, you are more than welcome to come and see them. The day after they arrive of course, Blaze will want her time with them, and so will Storm." He said.

Billie could feel something in her.stomach once Logan put his arm around her, just like she always had. He was Her vice. Her secret crush that she had tried to go after but couldn't find it in herself to. She was dark by nature, but he.brought out the.light with her. She held on to the light when she was around him, She wanted so badly to
accept.it, but she needed to hold her image for the time being. The angel-demon wars may have ended, but both sides would still try to recruit her, by any means necessary.
She laughed at his bit and just allowed herself to relax against him. "Babe, I'm a tornado that can't touch down. I was in hell with my babies when her pups came. And then we traveled. Oh Lord, Moscow was a riot. I Damn near got myself found out there, Shit it was magnificent. Then Ally wanted to come back so we did. No bother to me, I was helping Professor Julian with his Old Demonic Language lesson plans. Since I'm one of the few fluent in it. Last month was a bore, but this year is already interesting." She said, closing her eyes as she drank.
His comments kept her laughing and she flaunted her own bit of a half bow. "Always, Lo. I live to be bitchy and crazy.
Glad.it's entertaining though." She winked and soon his other compliment made her blush, but she played it off. Billie Sanders never blushed. She couldn't, not with the mask she wore.
Then the warmth left when Logan and Clary.left, but shed see them both soon, and after Alex and Jo left, she was alone... she sat there in the dark with Storm when a figure approached.
She was blonde, her hair in dreads, and she was barefoot in a pair of Jean shorts and a large t shirt that fell from her shoulder. The girl was half angel, and Billie knew her as Colette. The girl she protected. As Lucifer would an angelic breed, but Billie understood her if only a.little. She was half angel too...
"Dude man, felt some good vibes." Her voice came, a puff of smoke coming from between her lips, her.many necklaces and.bracelets making noise as she flopped beside Billie. Storm laid down, and.Billie looked to her, almost afraid that the.angel within her would be.picked up by her, but Colette was too high to care she was certain. "Wanna hit, sis? It's Silver Bullet, my own personal breed. Can actually get supernatural races high."
Billie shook her.head, and Colette nodded, taking in a long drag from her.joint as Billie lit a cigarette. "So, you're Billie Sanders? Don't know why my crowd says you're uptight? You have some.awesome vibes right now. Better when Mr. Vampy boy was here."
Billie was a bit shocked, "How long have you been around here?"
"Dude, sis, I stay outside during the hormone fest inside. No worries, I won't say anything." She smiled.before standing. "But ,for real, Billie, good vibes from you, bad vibes from the hottie coming over here, so I'm going to make.like a ghost and disappear."
She blew another puff of smoke and Billie stood, Storm doing the same and growling as Adrian approached. "Whoa Storm." He said.
"What do you want?" Billie asked, "I'm about to call it a night, Adrian. And Alex is up there, so that means we part ways."
Adrian folded.his arms over his chest. "I thought you wanted us to get along?"
Her pendant changed slightly darker again. "I thought that's what I wanted too." She Said, moving to leave, but Adrian stood in her way.
"Why didn't you tell me.about your boyfriend?" He asked.
"Because it would have stopped you? Just leave me be Adrian, I'm trying to have a good night. Obviously we just need to adjust to being around each other again." She moved again and headed inside, he was following her, Storm still growling.
"Well if you keep walking away from me, how can we?" He asked, before looking down to see.Logan and Clary at the other end. "What if he burned?"
Billie's eyes.blackened and she willed Storm away before she shoved Adrian back. She was pissed off again, her.demonic.half coming forth at Damn near full force.
She was shouting in an old language, Adrian falling to the ground as she spoke, holding his throat.
However, it was short lived, the Arch Mage happened to be coming through and he pushed himself.between the two, grabbing Billie's shoulders. "Adrian, leave, to your dorm room now. Rest."
Adrian caught his.breath and headed off, and the Arch Mage saw her pendant and forced a vial down her.throat and saw her stagger back against a wall and her eyes returned to normal. "Arch mage? What happened?"
He sighed, motioning for her to follow and she did. "I happened by Colette, and she was worried.about Adrian around you. Something about his 'bad vibes.' So I came down to find you Damn near exorcising his demonic half. You tethered too far, so you need to wind down, go back to your dorm, do whatever it is you do to level out again."
Billie nodded and headed towards her dorm and entered, sitting on her bed
and.lighting another cigarette before Storm appeared beside her and she petted him, waiting for the others.

Clary was.more than glad when Logan decided to take off and she smiled to him a bit. "Nice meeting yoy, Jo, if you do decide to come up, I'll leave you be, I promise." She said, and when Logan said she might even catch Jackie before she passed out she squealed happily. "Oh well come on then!"
She practically dragged him into the building and the closer they got the more she.slowed. "Question, Logan. Why haven't you told her yet?" Clary asked. "It is super obvious that you and Billie are crazy about each other. You have to go for it handsome, before someone else does. God, she can shoo away the best of the best players, but one of these times she is going to lapse again."
They were near the end of the corridor, ready to bound the corner when Clary heard shouting. Not.good.shouting either. She couldn't quite.make out the figures, but she.knew.better with the.language than to interfere. She grabbed hold of Logan's hand again and made him travel through a wall or two with her before she let go. "Sorry, that
was.no bueno. That was old demonic. Billie talks like that in her sleep. Can't understand a lick of it, but it's fucking scary."
Clary stopped at the door she knew as Logan's. "So, game plan?"
--
Adrian listened to Molly as she spoke. "I won't kill him yet then, but.I can't promise he will
be.in the same.condition." he said, and once the fire died out, Adrian looked to Molly and smirked. "Thanks, love, oh, if you get a good bit of fire salts, let me know prices. I love what they do for my other form." He said before walking off, and he saw Billie alone again.
But she was so different, her.demeanor so calm, but it
changed.in an instant as they went back and forth, and he could feel himself.suffocating atone point. His insides burned, his heart was racing, and even his Dragon blood couldn't keep him from falling down, weak.
The Arch Mage stepped in and he took off. It was definitely not the current demon language she had.been.speaking back there, and he stopped, leaning against a wall to regroup. He'd have to tone it down, play her game, she would definitely be an asset, but he wasn't approaching her right he guessed.
