LOGINdon't know how to help her. Actually I couldn't care less about her, but it wasn't. I had no idea how to protect her from my brothers. And what role did Jere play in all of this? Again I watched her sleep. She slept restlessly. As always when I wasn't lying next to her. I ran my hand through my still dripping hair and then threw the towel that I had tied around my hips on the floor. My mind raced as I slipped into my sweatpants. As I walked past the bed, something suddenly caught in my pants. I looked down, irritated. The small, delicate hand that had already lovingly caressed my cheek had now gripped my sweatpants pretty roughly. Nyria mumbled something I couldn't understand, pulled hard on me and instantly calmed down. I stumbled and finally fell next to her.
"A pretty woman. But getting on her pretty perverted while she sleeps, don't you think? "
Startled, I straightened up again. Although the hand was still dangerously close to my center. My eyes met that of the tanned and white winged man who was standing in the middle of the room.
"Paz.", I mumbled surprised, yet quietly so as not to wake the woman at my side.
“They are after her, Zayn. What did she do? "
Already annoyed I got out of bed, at the same time I motioned for Paz to change the room. Behind me the girl fell into a restless sleep again.
“Why are you here, Paz? You should now actually announce to the others that you have found them. ", I now spoke in normal volume.
“Zayn, please. You know exactly whose side I'm on. ", Replied my old friend and patted me on the shoulder.
"So tell me what happened?"
Sighing again, I sat down on the sofa.
“She protected me, Paz! For the second time. And she threw a knife into Nereus' chest. "
As expected, my words made him pause. He stared at me in disbelief.
“Well, you laughed at yourself there. How did that happen?"
I told him the story of how she had found me in the alley and had taken care of me, which he didn't want to believe me in the first place, and I told him how we had met again. I just kept silent about my feelings. Of course I did. Who would I be if I spoke openly about my feelings?
"The little one seems to have done it to you," he said suddenly, tearing me out of my thoughts. Crap! How did he know?
"How did you come up with that?" I asked with raised eyebrows.
"You usually don't care about the welfare of others," was the simple answer.
I let out a snort as I felt caught out.
"He doesn't care about me, I care about him.", Someone suddenly heard from the door.
I sighed and rubbed my temple. Fuck a headache.
"Look, the sweet princess woke up," said Paz with a grin.
His lewd grin was more than maddening at the moment. Nyria was only wearing one of my shirts, but she had buttoned it. Except for her incredible legs, there was nothing to see.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" I asked harshly without looking at her.
"The usual reason," it came back.
I heard her approach.
"And you're talking about me, so how should I sleep there?"
I winced when she suddenly threw herself on my lap.
"Don't you want to introduce me to your little friend?" She giggled and looked at me with big eyes. My eyes, however, narrowed.
“Nyria, what's wrong? You're acting weird. ”I said softly so that Paz couldn't hear it.
"I just want to know who that is," she said, fluttering her eyelashes innocently.
As she said this, she undid the top buttons of her shirt. Now I was really angry. Paz watched closely what was happening, but luckily held back. I growled and grabbed Nyria's hand to make her stop undressing.
"That's enough!" I hissed.
I seriously wondered what was wrong with her. She would never behave like that. At least I hoped and believed. As my hand brushed her forehead, I noticed the searing heat emanating from her.
"Wait a minute ..." I mumbled and cupped her face with both hands. Amazingly, she kept calm and let me look into her eyes.
Her pupils were dilated and now I also noticed how shallow her breath was. No wonder she slept so badly.
"You have a fever," I stated monotonously.
"I haven't.", She hissed and now freed herself from my grip.
"Don't contradict me!" I growled, louder than intended.
She winced, but then hit me pretty hard on the chest.
"Don't give me orders!" She hissed. Sighing, she dropped her head against my chest. She was breathing heavier and now she apparently felt the warmth that had spread through her body. I had no idea how to deal with this situation, so I just put my arm around Nyria and turned back to Paz.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
The man gave a big grin.
"You have no idea how to protect the little one, am I right?"
I became suspicious, but nodded slightly.
"I thought so. And that's exactly why I'm here. "
Paz got up and paced up and down a few times.
“I could lead you on the wrong track. In the long run, however ... that would cost you something! "
Suddenly my head was swept clean. Paz has always been sly, unable to believe that he now wanted to attack me. My eyes darkened more and more.
"I want you to work for me, Zayn." He already announced.
For a moment I was speechless. I couldn't believe that he even dared to utter these words. Still, I thought about it seriously for a moment. Somehow I had to protect this woman. I even felt obliged to!
"Don't give up your free will, Zayn.", A hoarse woman's voice whispered in my ear.
I looked into Nyria's eyes in surprise. There was a pleading expression in them.
"Don't give up your freedom because of a weak human woman," she breathed.
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
