Daya Monster...My body suddenly jerked, my eyelids quickly fluttering open as I felt the lack of air inside my lungs, the violent thump inside my chest ringing in my ears like an ominous beat.Rapidly blinking a few times, I then finally made myself aware of my surroundings, ultimately noticing I was back in that same room I lastly changed my clothes in before all those so horrible events...Monster...That same whisper reached my ears, all that warm, sticky blood once again coating my entire body, a shrill scream escaping my lips as I widely watched it leak and drip from my trembling palms all over the bed.“Hey! Hey, Daya calm down! It’s alright, you’re alright,” My brother’s soothing, unmistakable voice reached my ears, feeling his body heat wrap around me like a protective shield as his arms quickly circled around my waist, only now noticing there was no blood anymore. Just the dark colored sheets starkly contrasting the pure white robe covering my still trembling body.Warm riv
I blew out a tired sigh, once again wrapping my arms around his neck, hearing him also let out a relieved exhale as his arms went around me, giving me another comforting embrace.“Come, my wolf wants to arise, and he is also eager to properly meet you,” My eyes widened in utter surprise as I watched him pull back and get up from the bed, nervously fumbling with the robe’s large sleeves as I quickly remembered what I’ve done to those innocent people, my entire body lightly trembling as I felt so afraid of accidentally stumbling into other beings also inhabiting this house, forced to face their judging glares or worse, punishments.What if I’ll once again stumble into the Archangel of Death?I instantly tensed at the thought, only to feel Rem’s hands gingerly cup my own, those glowing gems deeply boring into mine as he ever so calmly reassured,“Don’t worry, I will let no one harm you. Ever.”Giving him a small nod I then finally allowed him to help me get up from the bed, graced with a
I still couldn’t understand why, or how...Maybe because she’s half-angel,My mind whispered as I watched her escape another giggle as Meliae gently rubbed the side of her muzzle against her cheek, her hands caressing the sides of her long neck.Taking a glance at my brother, I noticed how he silently watched too their so close and intimate interaction, my eyes only widening as I then turned to look back at them, shocked to see how Meliae’s mystic energy slowly seeped out and right through Blake’s skin, vividly glowing as it traveled underneath, through her whole body.Her eyes fluttered almost closed as her half-human fragile body struggled to contain and digest it, noticing the seemingly pleased smile now forming on her pouty lips, surely overtaken by the energy’s euphoric current.“Wow...What is this?” She so slowly said, almost dragging her words as she then struggled to stand from her kneeling position, my brother quickly moving to catch her as she was just about to fall right on
“I-I...” I incoherently stammered, quickly noticing how Rem moved to stand closer to me, his posture also stiff and defensive, seemingly ready to block out any incoming threats.“Hey, calm down you mama bear, it was just a forest spirit,” I then heard my father rather monotonically say, his words apparently having zero effect on the so menacing Archangel of Death as his harsh gaze never left mine, his tone still so accusing as he then asked,“How did she manage to get to a forest spirit?”“It was Daya’s friend. She was visiting her,” My father quickly answered his firing questions once again, his answer though seeming to only enrage “the demon” even further as those midnight skies momentarily turned pitch black, my lips escaping a small gasp as I widely stared now utterly petrified, shaken to the core, even though my father and brother were obviously still present and ready to protect me.“I want you, to stay away from her,” He lowly seethed, his tone so dark and frightening, to the p
Daya Small sobs echoed across the large, darkened chamber, disturbing the gravely silence. Thin rays of cold light penetrated the lightly fluttering curtains, creating glowing streaks on the carpeted floor as the moon was now raised in all its splendor.Another drop fell on the dirtied bathrobe, moistening even further the already dampened sleeve, shallow exhales of warm breath gently caressing the bare skin on my hands from time to time as I held my knees close to my chest, like a scared little child nestled in between the large pillows on the bed.“I want you, to stay away from her...”That same sentence echoed again and again in my mind, reminiscing that cold, so filled with hatred glower.Why?Why does it have to be like this?What did I ever do to deserve any of this?My lips escaped another small sob as those dark and so cold orbs flashed before my mind’s eyes, leaving me equally cold and empty, that once so beautiful memory now so painful as I once again remembered it’s been n
I closely watched, mesmerized as I quietly trailed after them, looking at that small and slender palm protectively encased in his much larger one and the way those forest green eyes gazed up at him with such adoration, graced with a so warm and filled with affection smile, his rough and purely intimidating appearance starkly contrasting his deeply caring behavior around her.Such love...A tiny, stray tear traitorously slipped over my cheek, hastily wiping away any evidence as I attentively watched their so touching display of pure, untainted affection, silently wondering if the one that gave birth to her also shared their love.She certainly must have...Unlike my own...Another small tear slipped as I remembered all those horrible moments...Our last encounter...That so cold, filled with hatred gaze...“How are you feeling? Are you okay?”My head quickly snapped back up as that rough voice reached my ears, noticing how she only gave a small nod, once again offering him that childish,
I stared for another few moments at the young female looking right back at me through the silvery glass, focusing on her generally innocent appearance, the plain, casual outfit adorning her frame strangely making her resemble to a regular human girl.If only...I let out a small sigh as my gaze once again traveled over the oversized plain white t-shirt Blake had snatched earlier from the owner of this large mansion -which she had also recently disclosed about him being her older sibling, the root of their connection however still a mystery to me- since all of hers were apparently too small for my overly-generous bust, trailing down to the dark denim jeans and canvas shoes, right before it darted back up, only to find those bright green eyes once again vividly glowing as they stared right back at me.“I hate you,” I so quietly said, my voice no higher than a mere trembling whisper as I blankly stared at myself, somehow stupidly believing that it would be capable of hearing and even und
BlakeMy lips curled up in a mischievous grin, staring him right in the eye as I swiftly blocked his move with my left arm. Attempting to quickly strike him with my fist, my lips escaped a small gasp as with an inhuman speed his palm so firmly caught my wrist, soon enough finding myself trapped in his strong hands, once again that breath-taking smile making its way upon his lips as he pulled me so close, my eyelids fluttering closed on their own accord as soon as I felt the feather-like touch of those lips against my heated skin.I let out a slow exhale, lightly pulling back and craning my neck to look up at him as I was about to finally tell him I give up, only to simply close my mouth shut.My brows furrowed as I suddenly noticed him averting his attention, that menacing glower now etched all over his beautiful features, only spiking my curiosity and confusion as well.Following his line of sight, my gaze darted straight towards the wall-sized windows of our study room, since we wer
DayaI could hear my own pulse banging so wildly inside my entire body, from the tips of my fingers and all the way to the very center of my chest as I widely stared, unblinking at the raven-haired male sitting so casually on the very table I had almost lost my soul only a few days ago, that vivid memory still clinging so tightly against my mind, vehemently refusing to give me peace whatsoever.That face...Those frightening and hollow eyes...The painful echo of my own desperate wails...The sight of my own blood...Red...Red...“Red,”Rapidly blinking a few times I quickly snapped back to reality, my gaze refocusing back on Raphael.“It’s okay, come here,”I warily eyed his outstretched hand, my gaze trailing back to that beautifully angelic face, looking at the way those perfect lips curled into a kind and genuine smile and the way his dark brown and warm eyes gazed right into my own as he calmly waited.“Come on, it’s okay. You’ll be safe. I promise,” He gently beckoned, feeling my
“So umm, do I have to draw that symbol thingy with my blood like Ricky does every time he summons Luc?” I asked uneasily, mimicking a small grimace as the thought of actually cutting myself and practically forcing Azrael to come back after everything that transpired in these last few hours seemed so...unappealing.After all, he strongly expressed his desire to get away from me as quick as possible only moments ago...I bitterly reminisced, watching Raph roll his eyes in annoyance before quickly responding in “duh” tone,“You guys have a bond, remember? So how about you just use that instead?”“Oh that...” I weakly mumbled, my eyes reluctantly lowering to the fiercely glowing symbol on the inside of my wrist.“Yeah that,” Raph’s retort reached my ears as my gaze still remained trained on the visible proof of the said bond, uncertainty flickering deep within me.Is it still there though?And if it is, is it still strong enough to call him right back to me?I wondered, my gaze trailing a
I slammed my fists a few times against the marble flooring, feeling like my heart was being literally ripped in half as I stared at the now completely empty space, hopelessly broken.Again.“Why?” I shakily asked between hiccups as I rose my sight to the ceiling, stupidly hoping for some sort of “divine” answer.But before I could even take a second breath a small sob reached my ears, momentarily disrupting my mourning.Lightly frowning in confusion, I sat up straighter, then mindlessly wiped my cheeks before straining my hearing to focus better on the sound, soon enough hearing it again, only this time a little clearer.What the...As quick as I could, I rose myself to my feet, glancing at the small dents in the white marble at my feet before walking away, everything else momentarily forgotten as I headed straight towards the source.And not soon enough, I found myself exiting the house through the glass door at the back and walking all the way to that secluded spot between the trees
Blake I could feel my body floating, drowned in a dark blue and starry abyss like the night sky as an oddly comforting warmth enveloped me completely.Strong, even thuds resonated in my ears like a white noise, their tempo so familiar as it was the only sound I could hear, my mind drifting through that same state of numbness for what felt like an eternity, surprisingly enough with no attempt to even try and escape...And that because it felt so good...Too euphoric and relaxing to even bother wondering how or why did I get here, any previous memories completely forgotten, deeply buried somewhere at the very bottom of my mind, preventing from any disturbance or unwanted distraction whatsoever.So I let myself fall even deeper and deeper, pointlessly swaying away like a falling leaf in the breezy wind, comforted by that same, constant sound.Until it suddenly changed its pace, turning considerably slower, for some reason the abrupt change creating a very peculiar and restless feeling d
Taking a small, timid step closer I peered at the visibly pale, seemingly fallen into a deep slumber girl as her half-bare body rested in Death’s gentle embrace, skin on skin, safely covered by a white-fleeced blanket.So small and fragile she seemed, cradled in between his muscled arms like a child in its parent’s protective embrace as her head rested against his shoulder, her slender palm resting against the middle of his bare chest, gingerly supported by his hand around her wrist.A tiny, faint glow slowly pulsed from beneath, no doubt coming from that particular symbol deeply engraved in her skin, oddly enough pulsing at the same pace with Death’s faintly glowing as well midnight orbs as he sat in her bed with his back resting against the bed frame, unmoving.“What happened? Why is she like this?” I found myself quietly asking, careful as to not disturb their very peculiar yet peaceful moment as we had already intruded their privacy the moment we stepped inside her room, unannounc
DayaPain...The only ever-persisting, all-too-familiar and nagging feeling once again made its presence known inside of me, this time taking the form of a dull headache, rather rudely waking me up from that dreamless and peaceful slumber.Gradually regaining awareness of my own body, my fingers lightly twitched before my eyes slowly opened, greeted by the simple whiteness of a ceiling.Slowly turning my head to the side I then hazily took in my surroundings, and with a slightly blurred sight I could notice the burgundy-colored wallpaper and dark furniture, completely failing to recognize anything at all.And since my mind continuously refused to give me a single hint of what transpired before finding myself in this unfamiliar room, I wobbly rose myself into a sitting position, not failing to also notice the stinging sensation prickling my skin, right in the middle of my chest.With a frown followed by a slight hiss, my fingers gently traced over the area, lowering my sight to take a
I only blinked a few times, staring at his brooding figure, moments before he swiftly circled around me, immediately feeling the burning heat of his body barely touching my back as my attention was now trained on the fallen before me, letting me know that he had moved right behind me.And as I mindlessly watched Raph carelessly discard his jacket and slowly kneel right in front of me, I could feel Azrael’s hands gently grip my wrists, another shiver crawling up my spine as I could feel his breath tickling the shell of my ear, that tingling vibration lightly touching my back as he almost inaudibly said,“Just so you know, I was never going to take her life. I am not a monster, you know...”“I n-never said that,” I quickly stammered, feeling my heart already pounding inside my chest.“Then why do you keep staring at me like I’m your worst nightmare?”My breath faltered, completely lost for words, small tears already making their way down my cheeks as he quietly proceeded to carefully dr
Holy fuck...Widely staring into each other’s eyes the time seemed to momentarily freeze, too lost for words or maybe too stunned by his so unexpected reaction to even try and wrack my brain for a coherent sentence.Holy shit...He’s losing it.Still trying to recover from that temporarily frozen state my gaze finally averted from his, darting to his tightly clenched fist instead, watching how the few remaining drops of alcohol dripped to the shard-littered floor, as expected with no trace of that crimson liquid whatsoever.Raising my sight to peer into those bottomless voids once again, I only noticed how with each desperate scream echoing in the background, that violent struggle glinting in his black irises slowly morphed, little by little but surely enough losing the battle with himself, until it turned into nothing but pure pain and despair.And before I even had the time to realize what was happening, like a furious storm he suddenly made his way straight towards the double doors,
BlakeA cold shiver trailed down my spine as I still laid wide awake, numbly snuggling myself even closer against Ricky’s warm body.Even though I’ve chosen to stay with him for the night like I always did back when I were just a scared kid that needed comfort and protection, I’ve been lying around wide awake almost the entire night after all that crazy shit.Not even my brother’s calming presence could lull me to sleep.All those crazy moments, all those hurtful words kept replaying on and on in my mind, keeping me restless.My stupid mistake with Rem...Rem and Azrael’s fight...That certain unexpected disclosure of Luc and Raph’s true feelings...Daya’s sudden decision of freaking sacrificing herself after all that fucked-up shit...And the last, most painful event...Azrael’s sudden cold behavior towards me...Feeling my brother’s arm wrap even tighter around me I tightly clutched my hands against his hoodie, closing my eyelids shut as I felt tears once again threatening to slip at
