LOGINWe just stared at each other, neither of us wanted to say anything. Sighing, I threw him the amulet that was proof of death.
"Very good, so he's dead. Have you had any difficulties?"
Lucifer stayed cold and that was exactly what surprised me. Why wasn't he cracking jokes?
"No." I replied tonelessly and crossed my arms. "I would like it if you stay away from the woman." I said then.
The devil's eyes narrowed.
“She told you? That surprises me, ”he muttered.
A growl rose in my throat, but he ignored it as ice.
“I just wanted to find out who she really is. You are interested in that too, or am I wrong? "
I didn't answer. What should I have said? Well, I also doubted that Nyria was just a normal human woman, but I didn't even try to figure it out. She didn't even know she was special herself.
"She asked you about me, right?" I asked quietly. Asking about it had taken me a hell of a lot of effort, again. Was this my imagination or did it make me ... vulnerable? Lucifer nodded, still very serious.
“She wanted to know why I banished you too. This girl seemed aloof, but couldn't pull herself together when it came to you. She really cares about you, and more than she should. "
His honest answer surprised me. What was wrong with him? Why wasn't he as sneaky as usual?
“You told her I had a problem with orders. She spoke to me about it. ”I clarified. The man sighed.
“Yes, I told her the truth. I saw no reason to lie to her. "
Sighing, I turned my back on him.
“Well, it doesn't matter now. I disappear."
To my amazement, he didn't say anything and let me disappear.
When I woke up, Zayn was lying next to me, but he was fully dressed.
"You were gone?" I mumbled drowsy.
"Report to the devil," he replied. "How did you sleep?" He asked, almost lovingly.
"Could have been better. Was he satisfied? "
He looked down at me in surprise.
"Why are you asking me this?"
"Because I'm afraid that he will harm you," I confessed.
Zayn blinked perplexed.
“You are not afraid of angels, demons and the devil, but you are afraid that something could happen to me? Little one, you are really amazing. "
He laughed softly and stroked my hair. For a long time I felt safe and I showed him that by snuggling up to him again.
“I have no idea why it is, but I worry about you all the time. And I also have no idea why I always sleep so well in your arms. "I mumbled quietly. He sighed softly.
“Honesty is not my strong point, Nyria. But I am also constantly worried about you and I also don't understand why you only sleep peacefully when I am lying next to you. Since you've been here ... everything is different but I don't question it, I just accept it. And ... this situation is not that bad. I have never known the kind of closeness between us. I need to get used to it."
What he had said left me speechless. So could he be that honest? This worry came over me again. No one had ever hugged him, let alone worried about him or patted his cheek.
"Say something.", Zayn asked me, but for a moment I just looked at him.
"I'm touched, Zayn and I don't know what to say about it." I whispered.
"You look sad," he stated flatly. I nodded hesitantly.
"I can't stand the thought that you were all alone as a little boy and had to fight your way through the world without love or security." I explained, with which I divulged another secret. Those were my thoughts and nobody else got to hear them.
“That was ages ago, Nyria. Why are you so concerned?
I buried my face in his chest.
“Maybe I am concerned because I have never experienced much love myself? So I know how to feel in such a situation. As cold as I sometimes seem, I am very ... loving and caring when someone means something to me. "
I hadn't meant to reveal any of this, but it was too late now.
"So I mean something to you?"
I sighed. It was clear to me that he was listening to these words.
"Somehow yes." I admitted quietly and closed my eyes.
I couldn't stand the piercing look of his beautiful eyes any longer.
"You should be afraid of me, little one and not develop feelings for me," he said quietly.
“Why should I be afraid of you? You do everything to protect me, that's anything but scary. ", I replied amused. I opened my eyes and saw that he was looking down at me, almost impressed.
“Don't you mind that I'm a murderer? Aren't you disgusted that I kill? Don't you scare my brutality? "
Once again he seemed stunned.
“I have no idea what's wrong with me but ... no. None of it bothers me! ”I replied, reaching out to clutch his face.
“You are a strong and independent man, Zayn Vaher, who can be loving from time to time and has an incredible protective instinct. I have ... incredible respect for you and what you've experienced. But I will never be afraid of you or be disgusted with you! Not even if you show up in front of me full of blood. "
He was silent, which is why I had the feeling that I had said too much, but suddenly he tilted my head back and leaned forward. I would have had enough time to stop him, but ... I didn't stop him. I let him get closer to me until his lips finally touched mine. He was cautious and reserved, but when he noticed that I was making no move to withdraw, he became more urgent. He bit my lip gently and I understood the request. I let his tongue in and responded to the French kiss he entangled me in. After a few minutes he let go of me.
"Why are you kissing me?" I breathed.
"I felt like it," he muttered.
"Then kiss me again!" I demanded and grabbed his collar to pull him to 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
