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
They’re in love with you...”What?I only blinked a few times, rendered completely still as I simply stared back at her, failing to understand what was she yammering about but before I could even ask, her sibling was already right next to us, swiftly snatching her away from my currently frozen hands. And with a few quick moves he simply ripped her clothes off her body, leaving her completely bare.“Wow...You people are so comfortable with each other, aren’t you?” The words slipped from between my lips on their own accord as I briefly recalled those moments back in our backyard only a few days ago when I accidentally discovered about the existence of Rem’s “alter ego”, but also how he so carelessly turned back into a fully naked human right in front of his own sister like it was the most casual thing in the world, now awkwardly staring at the pair as I watched him so carefully cradle her tortured and very naked body close to his chest, moments before he turned to walk straight towards
“No no no NO!”Gazing at the angrily glowing mark on my wrist, I tightly wrapped my hand around it, feeling hot tears threatening to spill all over my cheeks as with wide eyes I looked back at Rem, my breaths coming out so shallow and uneven.“No...” My voice came out so raspy and weak, my lips lightly quivering as tears finally made their way down my face, and without another word I bolted outside that damned bathroom, not even caring that I was practically half-naked and probably covered in blood stains, like a human stranded in the desert running so fast down the hallway and upstairs to the higher floor, straight towards my ever only source of water.Quickly reaching the door, my heart pounded so wildly inside my chest as I violently barged inside, finally allowing myself to stop as those beautiful midnight eyes found mine.Only the moment I took a better look at him, my knees buckled from underneath me, roughly collapsing on the carpeted floor with a dull thud.There he was, the o
DayaCold...An icy coldness wrapped around my entire body, feeling my jaw slightly quivering as all my senses gradually resurfaced back to reality.My wet lashes fluttered a few times before finally adjusting to the poor lighting surrounding me, hearing liquid lightly splashing around me as my limbs jerked, soon enough noticing the reddened water engulfing my completely bare body.The shedding process!My entire body jerked once again, tightly gripping against the bathtub’s edge as I struggled to rise my still weakened frame from the freezing ruby water, lightly wobbling as I finally managed to stand, only to suddenly feel myself losing balance as a rather loud rumble vibrated throughout the entire house.“AZRAEL STOP!”My eyes widened as I quickly recognized the source of that audibly anguished voice, with shaky limbs forcing myself to step out of the deeply colored water.Leaving a pinkish trail on the otherwise pristine white tiled floor, I weakly made my way towards the cabinets
“How can you even look your brother in the eye, with no remorse whatsoever?” I practically screamed at him, blinking back tears as I took a glance back towards the intimidating archangel, just in time to notice the equally shocked expression plastered all over his features, also faintly hearing a small gasp in the background.“Daya, I-”“No,” I harshly silenced the fallen archangel standing so close to me, coldly gazing into his stormy grey eyes as I so venomously spat out,“Raphael may be evil, but at least he’s true to his own feelings.”Visible hurt shimmered in my father’s stormy gaze, rendered utterly speechless as I stared back at him, before my gaze shifted to the evil fallen in question, silently taking in his roughly beaten-up appearance as those dark, haunting eyes watched me that whole time with such intensity.I did this...It’s my fault.My eyes then darted to the young, half-angel girl still lightly shaking, even though she was safely cradled in her brother’s embrace, fee
Silence engulfed the whole spacious room for what felt like eternity as we so quietly stared at each other, my mind still revolving around those specific moments just a few hours ago back in the backyard.His bright blue eyes held my own for a few moments longer, not even bothering to hide the hurt and despair pulsing so vividly inside of them as he almost pleadingly uttered,“You know you don’t have to do this.We can always leave this place and-”“And what?” I suddenly found myself asking out loud,“Go back to that wretched place we used to call a home? To that monster who calls herself a mother?” I watched him cast his gaze somewhere to the carpeted floor, quickly rising up from my seat as I could practically feel his anger and frustration only growing, lowering on my knees right in front of his sitting form as I quietly said,“I’m sorry, Rem, but I can’t do this. Not anymore...”I took a moment to swallow the growing boulder threatening to crush the inside of my throat, tightly gr
Hollow...Bare...Numb...Cold...My teeth lightly chattered as I numbly sat on the cold tiled floor, barely feeling the freezing rivulets trailing down my bare skin.That utterly consuming hollowness inside of me kept only expanding, threatening to completely envelop my very soul like a thick blanket, pushing me further down until I could no longer feel...at all...Feeling is pain...No...no more...“Please, no more...” The words escaped my trembling lips in a hoarse whisper, words falling on deaf ears as they met complete silence, my hand unconsciously moving to rest in a tightened fist against my bare chest, helplessly begging for it all to stop...“Just...stop...”More warm and salty small rivers mixed with the cold water pelting down my cheeks, relentlessly washing away all that bitterness, sorrow and despair...until nothing was left. No feeling, no pain. Just...emptiness.Hollow.Bare.Like an empty shell I numbly got up from the wet floor, leaving a trail of cold droplets in my
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
