LOGIN"He really thinks I'm scared now, right?" I said in Zayn's direction.
"Oh, I'm quite able to scare you, little one, but dear Zayn doesn't always have his aggressions under control, so I'm careful.", Lucifer said and winked at me. His words made me laugh softly.
“As for the fallen here next to me, you're right, you could still never scare me. And now enough chatted. ”From now on it was clear that I had nothing more to report here. I left the field to the men.
“Why are you coming to me of all people? I thought you don't want to have anything more to do with us? ”Said the prince of hell quite formally. Zayn looked and sounded more serious than ever.
“For one thing, no one else can help me but you. At least for the moment. Second, you should keep an eye on your subordinates. Jere gave her an indication of our existence. ”He explained with a quick look at me. I eyed him inconspicuously. I could judge him well enough by now to be able to say that he was embarrassed to admit that he needed help. And that he actually never wanted to crawl on his knees again. How did I know he had to crawl on his knees? No idea! I just knew. The blond eyed me disapprovingly.
“I really didn't expect you to come back to see me again. The little one seems to be really important to you, if you want to protect her so badly, "he said quietly.
Zayn grimaced but I couldn't see why. Either because he didn't like Lucifer's claim or because the hell guy was right.
"Do you have a shelter now or not?" He hissed.
Lucifer snorted.
“You are pretty rude! I kicked you out so how did you think I would help you? "
Zayn hissed but remained calm, so I took his hand and pulled him back a little.
"We don't need his help, so let's go," I said quietly.
"What do you want to do please? On the run for the next few months or years? ”He snapped at me.
"Then that's the way it is! I don't care, do you hear? ”I replied cautiously.
"In contrast to you, the little one seems to be really smart.", The devil spoke up again.
“You should know that I won't help you for nothing. So what are you ready to lose? "
Panic overcame me. This guy certainly didn't have the name Lucifer for nothing, so what was he up to? At first Zayn was silent, then he became more determined.
"What do you ask?" He asked softly.
Now it was clear to me that his opinion could no longer be changed. He would make a pact with the devil and I wouldn't mind stopping him. A smile crept onto the lips of the man with the dark eyes.
“I want you to work for me. Make the people whose names I tell you harmless and I will leave you a shelter in which the angels will not find you. "
That Zayn should act as a murderer didn't bother me. I was much more concerned about his safety. I got involved and hoped I wouldn't regret it either.
“You surely have enough subordinates. So why should Zayn of all people play the hit man? "
His gaze focused on me and seemed to literally pierce me.
“Quite simply: Zayn was already known among his brothers for his cruelty and brutality. Who do you think was always allowed to do the dirty work? When it comes to killing, your little friend is the legend among the masters! With him I can be sure that nobody will survive. "
I took a deep breath. Should these words shock me? Because they didn't.
"I'll do it.", Zayn said before I could have answered anything. I hung my head. From now on he was restricted ...
Lucifer sighed when his eyes met me.
“Because of your little friend, you are always able to terminate the contract. But when I call you you have to come here without hesitation, all right? "
This "kindness" surprised us both, but Zayn nodded.
"I Agree."
Fascinated, I watched the two of them slit open their palms and then shake hands. I suspected that the blood of the two sealed the contract. Lucifer remained serious as he handed Zayn an old and rusty key.
“I'm taking you there by magic. It is protected by a spell, so the angels are guaranteed not to find you. As for Jere ... I'll take care of him. "
He waved his hand, just like Zayn had done before, and in less than a blink of an eye I was in a huge stone-walled entrance hall. Zayn next to me sighed deeply.
"I expected that," he muttered.
At my questioning look, he made a brief gesture with his hand.
“We are in Scotland. In an old castle to be precise. Lucifer set up here several centuries ago, but left the hiding place at some point. "
"Scotland," I muttered, looking around.
The entrance hall alone looked old and dilapidated, but the baroque style in which everything was furnished made it look cozy. A hand put on my head.
"I'm sorry you're so far from home."
I looked up. Apparently, Zayn didn't dare look me in the eye.
"I don't care where I am, Zayn." I said quietly. "What worries me more is that you made a pact with the devil."
Somehow his eyes were obscured when he looked down at me.
"You didn't say anything when Lucifer said what job I used to have," he noted.
"What did you expect? That I run away screaming? "I replied with a grin. The man shrugged.
“Well, not that. But that you show no reaction ... I didn't expect that either. "
I looked up at him in silence and with raised eyebrows. Sighing, he surrendered.
"I can see that you really have to expect everything."
I stepped back from him laughing.
"I'll have a look around here if you allow me."
Laughing, she gouged out his eyes, cut off his ears and nose, drilled holes in his skull and then peeled off his skin. Everything alive. Both the ground and herself were marked with blood in the end."I hope I never have to kill anyone again," she said to her husband one evening in the shower."Because it was so horrible for you?" He replied. She had shaken her head and rested her head on his chest."No. Because it was so much fun. "Sighing, I looked over the land, which shone in a rich green. Spring had come. The fifth that I have already seen here. And even though I've been here for so long, I still couldn't get enough of the beauty of heaven. Yes, I lived here now. This was my new home. I still couldn't believe what had happened after the fight with Nereus. Zayn had actually been out to start another fight, the archangels had realized that too. You were understanding. And now? Today there were no more archangels. No, they had
With rattling breath, I tried to calm myself down. We'd already done almost all of them and that in less than a quarter of an hour. Most of them were dead and you could see that from me and the others. We were covered in blood and wounds, but everyone had already healed. So while we were standing here suddenly there was a high and high-pitched scream. It was only then that I realized that Nyria was not near me. And although this was the first time I heard this kind of scream, I knew immediately who it was from. Only a few minutes passed before she stood in the middle of the hall. Her top was torn, there was a long and incredibly deep cut in her abdominal wall and she was just soaked with all the blood. With her eyes she looked for me. She was trembling, could barely stand on her feet. The faster I had to react. I ran to her, pulled her into my arms and brushed the sweat-sticky hair from her forehead. She almost lost her balance. She allowed herself to be in my arms for
Ten minutes had passed, but in those ten minutes the Archangels' Hall had become a battlefield. Blood was spreading on the floor and I, too, had suffered quite a bit. I did not feel well. All attacks were aimed at me, and although this seemed like my fight, everyone else was fighting. They all defended me, did not let anyone approach me, but I was full of blood. It wasn't my own. I was not disgusted, but I felt sorry for the fallen. What had Nereus told the fallen that made them just throw themselves into danger? Nereus wanted me dead, so what use was it all? What would their reward have been? I looked around in the fray, avoiding a severed hand. I actually felt sorry for the fallen. I mean, I wouldn't be keen on a missing hand. Even Zayn was engrossed in a fight with them. He was hurt. A laceration was clearly visible on his temple. I almost smiled. It reminded me of how I found him. Injured in an alley. Ingrateful and naughty. Arrogant and without scruples. Nobody paid any attenti
Say, are you going to interfere?" She asked softly. He almost got the impression that she was the most vulnerable woman in the universe. Why hadn't he noticed earlier how pretty she really was? Lucifer studied her closely. In these long, blonde curls that shimmered like gold, he would have loved to dig with his hands. Her big blue eyes looked at him almost fearfully. She didn't look like an angel, no, nowhere near. She could have been a fairy. Petite, fragile and beautiful. But behind this beautiful mask sat an archangel. So she too could become something that was anything but beautiful. Still ... he recognized the true essence in her. The helpless woman who just wanted to be protected. He blinked. It's been silent for far too long.“If Nereus gets into debt within the two days, then I definitely won't sit still. If nothing happens, you will not see me again. "Chest rose and stretched.“I'm sorry, but that's all too much for me. Maybe a
I didn't like these pejorative looks at all."Just imagine before you talk to me like that," I said now. Suddenly the one with the unusual eyes smiled.“Little one, I like you. I bet you belong to Zayn. "I liked his tone of voice. I dropped my mask and smiled."Right. I am Nyria. ", I replied and held out my hand to him.Contrary to my expectations, his handshake was gentle and it seemed to me that he could understand why I was so dismissive in the first place.“I'm Trae, I'm happy. Behind me are Gaven, Jaze, and Kuja. We are ghouls. "I almost grimaced at his words. Ghouls? Wasn't that body eater? Kind of disgusting ... I felt a gentle breath inside. It was Zayn who wanted to find out how I was feeling. A soft laugh reached my ears. Apparently he found my reaction funny."So you are the little Nephilim that everyone is after.", The ghoul with the black eyes spoke up. It was Jaze."Everyone is af
“Little one, you are incorrigible. Be that as it may, I would advise against just marching in there. Give them five days. If they haven't stopped Nereus by then, you can act. Find some reliable people. They should be good fighters because no one can say how the guardian angels will react when they see you. It is quite possible that they believe that you would want to snatch the kingdom of heaven. "I only understood the station and cocked my head."What are Guardian Angels, please?" I asked and looked at Zayn expectantly. His hand poked my side briefly.“Guardian angels are not far below the archangels. They are the protectors, make sure that everyone obeys the law and nobody causes trouble. They protect the archangels and should they notice an uninvited guest in heaven, he can be prepared for something. Either the intruder is tortured and thrown into the dungeon, or he ends up right at Lucifer's feet. "Amused by the choice of words, th
