"ANGEL!"

Eleanora screamed out over and over again until her throat felt raw.

"AUGHHHH!"

She let out a blood curling scream and started to hit her knuckles on the ground, without caring that they were bleeding profusely and there was a terrible pain in her throat.

Suddenly she heard rushed footsteps. Her head snapped back as tears fell down her eyes.

There stood Damon and Elijah. But she could only look at Damon.

"B-brother." She cried out, reaching her hands up.

Damon's heart broke.

Elijah left them alone and went to check further.

Damon stepped towards her and pulled her into a hug.

A loud sob left her lips.

"A-angel....k-killed....."

Damon's arms tightened around her.

A single tear rolled down his cheek.

"Th-they k-killed h-h-him."

She gripped his suit jacket with her bleeding knuckles.

"M-m-my f-fault--"

Damon shut his eyes tightly as tears streamed down them profusely.

But his jaw clenched.

"It's not. Stop blaming yourself, Nora."

Nora froze hearing this voice.

Realizing that it was Damon's own, she clutched his jacket even more tighter.

Damon placed his fingers on her neck and pressed some pressure points.

"D-da--"

She did not get to complete her sentence as pure blackness took over her consciousness.

"The car blasted and fell into the river." Elijah said, gaining Damon's attention who was still hugging his sister's bleeding form.

"Handle everything here and report William...I'm taking my sister home."

Elijah was a little surprised hearing Damon's voice. Elijah remembered that Damon had never said a word, he stopped speaking when she--. Elijah's hands trembled at the thought.

He snapped out of his thoughts and nodded at Damon.

Damon didn't exchange another word and picked Nora up in his arms. Her arms fell limply down as a single tear slid down her closed eyes.

****************

"One by one Nora!"

With a loud gasp, Nora woke up. Her eyes widened as she realized that she was in her own room.

"A-angel." A whimper left her lips.

A loud crashing sound from outside reached her ears.

Without caring about her treated wounds and pain in her entire body, she got out of the bed.

A yelp escaped her lips and her legs trembled due to her own weight. She almost stumbled but gripped herself. Her leg had a cast on it.

Ignoring it for a moment, she limped out of the room painfully.

Her body wanted nothing but just to drop, however, she was stubborn.

She pushed the door open and immediately more crashing sound rang in her ears. She quickly realized that they were coming from downstairs.

Struggling, she made it to the stairs and she carefully made her way down. Her teeth sank into her bottom lip to keep her screams in.

As she reached the middle of the stairs, her eyes fell on her brothers.

William was smoking cigar and he was sitting on the couch with a blank look on his face.

"Say something, William!" Damon spoke openly once again.

Rest of them were standing in front of him. Filled with fury and rage. Hades was looking worst. His knuckles were cracked and spilling out blood but he seemed uncaring. That was when Nora noticed that the whole living room was a mess.

All of a sudden, William looked up in her direction. Her eyes went wide for some reason as he stared at her silently, making others awake of her presence too.

"What the fuck are you doing out of the bed?" Hunter roared out first. His usually rude tone always had a warmth hidden underneath it but today, Nora could only sense blind rage.

Though, it was not directed at her. Still, she felt terrified.

"I-" She whimpered, closed to breaking down again.

She took a blind step forward but her one uninjured leg could not handle her entire weight anymore.

She almost fell but arms wrapped around her.

As she looked up, she found Hades's face. Being the closest one, he had rushed up to reach her.

"H-hades." She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.

"I-I a-a-am s-sorry."

She apologized, knowing under that fury, he was hurting so bad. Angel was his twin afterall, his other half.

The thought of Angel only made her cry even more as she remembered again that her brother was no more. He was never coming back.

"Don't blame yourself." Hades wanted to reassure her that he didn't blame her. But Nora didn't need that reassurance.

She knew what her brothers were planning silently.

Only thing that they were craving for was-

Revenge!

But she was scared.

She gripped his jacket tightly as he took her in the living room and placed her down on the couch.

Damon approached her with a glass of water but she refused.

A strong hand gripped her shoulder gently. The touch was familiar and comforting.

She looked up to find Lucifer.

"Drink it, Nora"

She took few sips of the water and it worked a little to calm her down. Then, she instinctively looked in William's direction. He was still so silent and it seemed like that their brothers were waiting for his orders.

"William." She called his name softly.

He looked down at her.

"W-what are you g-going to do now?"

Her question sparked the others curiosity too. They were still waiting for his order...

"Leave it on me, Nora." He stated indirectly saying that he did not want to let her know.

"W-will." She whispered again as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Stop crying, Nora." He wiped her tear away with his thumb.

"Stop pretending that you are not hurt!" She yelled out, effectively pausing his action.

"Angel was our brother. H-he is no more now, William." She placed her trembling hands on his cheeks.

"I know, Nora." He said.

"I know this. That's why I'm especially putting my mind in planning ways I'm going to torture those bastards!"

Nora was stunned for a moment.

"W-what?"

"Why do you think I would even show mercy?" He asked her, his voice void of any emotions.

"Stay out of this, Nora. That's what William is trying to tell you." Hunter intervened.

"We are going out!" William announced and stood up.

"Elijah and few others will be here with you." William patted Nora's shoulder.

'You will witness their death one by one!'

At this moment, the same voice rang in her ears again.

Instantly, her hand shot up to grab William's wrist, stopping him.

"P-please no."
