Citrus and peppermint...That same fresh scent I grew to absolutely love was once again filling up my senses, giving me a warm, peaceful feeling and as soon as my eyelids grew open, I found myself looking at the owner.His perfectly sculptured features seemed so soft, so peaceful, unlike mostly of the times he was awake, his calm, steady breathings lightly fanning over my forehead as I was resting my head against his bare chest.My eyes then slowly trailed downwards, from his muscular chest towards his swoon-worthy six-pack and then to his muscular v-line, disappearing somewhere underneath the white sheets covering the lower half of his completely naked body, images of the unholy things he did to me last night momentarily flashing before my eyes, making my cheeks turn a deep shade of red and a slight tingle crossing my lower stomach.Wow...I still can’t believe we actually did that.“Are you okay?”The sound of his husky voice suddenly broke me out of my trance, startling me and I slo
I stared yet again for a few moments at the fiery big red symbol on my wrist, looking from every angle, stupidly trying to somehow understand it even though I obviously had no idea what the hell it was in the first place.It looked more like I had been marked with a hot branding iron...or something like that.“Is this...” I momentarily paused, nervously scratching with my fingernails over the irritated skin before finally asking,“Is this some kind of disease?”Gosh, this is seriously itchy...No answer. Again.Great. Just fucking great.I mentally muttered to myself, looking at a totally unmoving, seemingly shocked Azrael. He was in the exact same spot I'd left him moments ago, simply sitting at the edge of the bed when I decided to at least take a shower and get dressed.And now that I was done, I really wanted some answers. But since he wasn’t even moving a muscle, let alone speak, I decided that I will get them anyway, no matter from whom.So without any other hesitations I simply
I kept simply staring up at Luc, gaping like a fish, too stunned for words. Once again, I was facing a very critical situation...How the hell did that even happen?Why did it happen?How was it even possible?And most of all, why me?All those overwhelming thoughts were furiously spinning inside my mind, literally driving me crazy. I didn’t even know what to do, or say, after all that.“Blake...” That same deep, slightly rusty voice sweetly rang into my ears once again, sending a small shiver travelling down my spine and I quickly turned around, meeting once again those deep blue oceans, staring right back into mine. He quickly took a few steps closer, also closing the small gap between us, his big warm hands gently gripping my arms before he said,“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do this to you...” His words held so much sorrow, so much sincerity, his thumb gingerly gliding over my cheek as he spoke.But before I could react in any way, our moment was rudely interrupted when Gabriel’
All the Four Horsemen awakened, called by the violent screams of Death’s dying angelic force, the roar of an earth-shattering thunder foretelling their arrival. Ultimate destruction was brought upon the Earth as they all came forth, one by one.First, came out Conquer, riding a pure white horse, his shining blade victoriously twirling in the air, taking claim on all lands, forcing even the mightiest kings to submit to his own will...Second, War emerged from the pits of Eternal Fire, riding a fiery red horse, his cries of battle echoing across the seas, his blade dipping in the blood of the innocent shattered Peace, rivers of blood flooding the lands as all men started fighting against each other...Third, Famine crawled from the very depths of Hell itself, riding a black horse, thriving from the desperate screams of those in pain, turning into useless dust all sustenance on Earth...Fourth, Death descended from the thundering dark sky, riding a corpse-like pale horse, rightfully taki
BlakeI glanced one last time back to Luc’s beach house, memories of all the good and the bad things that happened during our stay here momentarily flashing before my eyes, making me escape a small, stray tear before I turned around and opened the front passenger seat door, instantly welcomed by Ricky’s warm smile as he looked right back at me from the driver’s seat,“Took you long enough.”I simply gave him a small smile back even though on the inside, I was already on the verge of crying, for the millionth time remembering how I almost lost him just a few days ago.I still have no idea how the hell I actually managed to bring him back...All I know is that somehow, I managed to give him the “Breath of Life” -which I still don’t know what the hell that even means, by the way- or if it has something to do with Azrael’s grace practically living within me... Either way, I’m thankful as hell that I did it.“Are you getting in or what?” That oh-so-familiar voice suddenly broke me out of m
He slowly, hesitantly turned the doorknob and I took a deep breath, moments before we finally went inside, looking at the grand imposing hall.Our footsteps echoed in unison on the marble floor as we slowly walked further in, gazing around like two strangers into our own home...It felt so relieving and yet so weird to be back in our own place...It’s been only two weeks yet it felt like it’s been years since I’ve lastly walked around in these all-too-familiar rooms.Lemon-scented detergent and cookies...My lips lightly curled up into a pleased smile, that same well-known scent filling up my nostrils as I took another deep breath, closing my eyes for a brief moment.Home sweet home...I mentally whispered, moments before a small sob suddenly tore through the peaceful silence, quickly drawing our attention and the moment we looked up, the only two persons we missed the most were now staring right back at us from the top of the stairs, looking like they’ve seen a ghost.“Oh god!” Rosie
At first, I thought it would be easy to just fight it and that it would eventually get better, but the truth was, it only got worse...As the days passed by, I kept having these sudden strikes of excruciating pain, making their appearance at the worst times.And though they were almost unbearable I still kept fighting, even taking pain-killers in my struggle to simply ignore them...Until one day...“Are you coming?” Leila’s child-like voice now sounded like she had walked a mile away as I kept feeling that sickening pounding only increasing in my skull.We were supposed to drive back home together since we rode together to school this morning, with her car.People were hurriedly passing by as all the classes were already over, some of them accidentally bumping my shoulder, making it hard for me to even stand straight.“No, you go ahead. I’m going to the bathroom to pee,” I quickly lied, forcing out a small smile, struggling to appear as calm as possible even though on the inside, I w
A week later...My bare feet dangled in the air, barely touching the natural green carpeted ground as I sat in the swing Ricky made for me a few years ago in our backyard.It was a warm, peaceful night but for some very upsetting reason, I couldn’t sleep. So I just snuck outside, trying to clear my head a little bit.The moon peeked from between the thick branches, its rays dancing on the lush green grass, giving it a light shine.I pushed with my toes once again, letting the warm breeze caress every uncovered area of my skin as I slowly rocked, back and forth.I lightly smiled, feeling like a child again, for once feeling so carefree and calm...Unfortunately, that didn’t last long...In the very next moment, I remembered for the millionth time this day that tomorrow was my birthday... And also the day my parents died...Or should I say, my adoptive parents?No, no, my true parents are Richard and Melinda Summers.I refuse to believe that some fancy-ass mighty Archangel is my father.
