"Very well then," I said. "The card has my number on them. Do remind them to call me tomorrow. Tell them I'm Vincent's brother. Oh, and he apologizes for the mess he caused," I added, as an afterthought.
I stood up, quickly "I am Azrael," I said. "I apologize for intruding upon your privacy, but this was urgent." I offered a black-gloved hand. "It concerns your children. I was sent by the Gods - you must trust me. Powerful entities would love to get their hands on these two."
I don't take his hand right away, taking a step back. Logan runs over to me and I flash a small smile while looking back up at the man. I stumbled a little and ran a hand through my hair. "I don't trust people when I first meet them." I say, glancing at Niall. "Expecially ones that say my kids are in danger."

I watch from a distance, unsure on what's going on.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
I dropped my hand, instead adjusting the black rose that was fixed to my golden lapel above my heart. "Of course," I said, diplomatically. "I apologize." I sat down and motioned the others to do the same. "But you must believe me. When your children were born, the Fates, the Gods, Satan and God counselled together. They reached the conclusion that these children were amongst the three that would hold the fates of the spiritual realm in their hands. Now many rush to control them. You know my brother, Vincent?"
I nod, not sitting. "I do. I would rather not talk about him," I coughed, leaning against the wall. Riley wants to be picked up and I pick her up, shifting her in my right arm as Logan runs to Jace.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
"Of course. I assume he tried to kill you?" She nodded. "That's how he usually starts things off," I said, chuckling. "But he had a special task at hand. He was tasked to test your strength... Rayah... once the children reach thirteen, he will do the same for them. But this isn't important... yet. I was thrown from Heaven because of my research... banished from Hell because of my experiments... all to lead me to you."
"So... now centuries of research have convinced me that the prophecy not only was correct, but must be deciphered and controlled at once. It is a shadowy, uncertain one... it speaks of death and destruction, terrible choices. I would perform a little test on the children, if so you allow me."
I frowned. "An understandable concern," I said. "But trust me, it is of the uttermost importance. No harm will come to them, and the parents, of course, are allowed to assist." Frown deepening, I stood. "But I see you are in no condition for rational thought. Call me tomorrow." With that, I made to leave.
