“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

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,

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

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

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
