I got up, feeling like everything was spinning around me. I could see Tyler shaking his head and sighing, but he didn't say anything else to try to stop me from leaving.Without saying anything else, I strode towards the exit.The cold outside suddenly chilled me. The fact that she was still wearing her skirt from work had a lot to do with it, but also the fact that it might rain soon. I began to walk at a fast pace down the sidewalk, turning my head from side to side almost desperately, paying attention to every face around me, to every person nearby. However, it didn't take me long to realize that this was in vain. The world was perceived differently in this state, more diffuse, more chaotic and strange. Things that were supposed to be seen at normal speed, like cars and people passing by, weren't and that quickly scared me. Going out alone, as she was, was a terrible idea.When I saw that I had already advanced to the middle of the street, the weight of the possible consequences fe

"No," he said dryly, redirecting his gaze to my face.The bewilderment enveloped me like a gloomy and thick mist, and confused my previous thoughts. I frowned.-Because? I demanded, although I wished I had sounded more determined. Give me one good reason why you don't want me to come back."You won't," he hissed.-Because?-Why not.-Why not?-Don't know! He put both hands to his head and closed them into tight fists in an alienated gesture. He closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly it seemed like he was suffering from a powerful migraine.I was stunned and a little afraid, since something inside me stirred when I saw him."You can't do this to me," I muttered, almost without strength in my voice. You're not going to prevent me from anything, much less something that can make me happy, that can distract me from all this shit I'm experiencing.He looked at me again, with exhaustion and torment written on his face. Her chest swelled as he took a deep breath."Well..." he murmured, sudden

Azazziel looked around us, a sneer painted on his face.-Know? "She," he murmured. When you told me you wanted to go somewhere more private, I admit I thought we'd go somewhere else. Not to a park.I frowned.—What did you think? That I would take you to a motel or something?"It would have been better," he said with a shrug, without exposing the slightest guilt."I would never go to a motel with you, Azazziel," I replied bitterly, but my heartbeat had already had an abnormal reaction to that mention.His gaze met mine, and a malicious smile spread across his lips.-Never say Never.The mischievous gesture made the center of my chest do a strange flip. I couldn't help it; Ever since he told me that I was causing something to him, my heart hadn't stopped beating wildly for even a single second. The only reason I had been able to walk beside him for so long without fainting was because, deep down, I couldn't believe him. Inside, I was not able to assimilate it.I just couldn't believe t

—What are Superior Spirits? —I asked, perhaps with too much interest for his liking because he immediately looked at me ugly. Or maybe it was just because I interrupted him.—They are the demons that rule all of Hell: Astaroth , Beelzebuu and, of course, Lucifer ."B-but..." I hesitated, somewhat dazed, "I believed that Lucifer was the one who reigned there ."He shook his head."Lucifer hasn't ruled alone for many centuries," he explained disinterestedly.—And is Hell really… is it how Dante describes it ?He frowned for a second, then let out a light laugh and slowly shook his head."Of course not," he stated, a little more calmly. Although it is similar in certain aspects.-Which is it?He gave another short, muffled laugh.—It is divided into levels, or circles .—And what is it like then? —I made a colossal effort to keep my face calm as he spoke. The last thing I wanted was to look scared so that he could laugh, or stop because he thought I was getting too scared. And eve

Azazziel clenched his fists and took a deep breath.—That he was someone who was tough , as an individual and as a father… I see how your parents are with each other, Amy. I perceive how, over the years, they have managed to keep intact that feeling that united them... But I never appreciated Zeross being affectionate with Aeriele. He showed no emotions for her, nor for me. Her jaw clenched again and he lowered his head. I never noticed them as if they were a... couple. And, for the same reason, I came to think that they didn't really feel the slightest attachment to each other. That maybe they just did something crazy and that I was the price they had to pay for it. Or that, perhaps, they wanted to experiment... —He wrinkled his brow with a doubtful and innately mean air—. That they wanted to create me on purpose, out of pure morbidity, to see what kind of being they could conceive. My growth was as rapid as that of any demon, but I was far from a healthy and strong creature. In fa
