"Not this kind of music," he confessed as he looked suspiciously at the people who moved to the rhythm on the improvised dance floor. Immediately, her sight returned to my face. But I could try it with you.That made me laugh out of pure anxiety. My eyebrows knitted together again as I realized what we were doing. It was strange that we were sharing without arguing about something, without looking at each other with hatred or frustration, but as if we were actually getting along.Too strange. For a painful second, feeling an overwhelming fervor grow in the center of my chest as I admired his face, I almost forgot what he was, what I was.Almost ……Until his smile faded, and his expression became serious. At that moment, his eyes scanned the room wide, and I knew something alarmed him.-What's happening? —I inquired."Find Khaius or Akhliss, and stay with them," he said in that authoritative tone he knew well. I felt a rush of ice run down my back the moment his hands left me.-Where a

The demon's gray eyes met mine for an eternal moment. An instant that he wreaked havoc on my chest, while I saw the incongruous image of her lips on hers.In the next second, with my mind blank, I turned on my heels.I didn't notice the people. I removed with my arm every person who crossed my path, anyone who prevented me from the only thing I wanted to do at that moment. He could not escape through the entrance of the house, not without passing by them and witnessing what preceded an excessive and repulsive closeness. So I pushed through the kitchen and out to the backyard, which was still packed with people, boys and girls bathing and others just talking or dancing around the pool. That just made me even more desperate.I strode forward until I opened the door to that cumbersome fenced area. The music was still playing so loudly that it echoed in my ears and in my ribcage, and somehow it seemed to worsen that strange feeling that squeezed my chest in a painful way. I just wanted to

Something inside me burned and it wasn't pleasant, so I decided to just focus on him. And why the hell it seemed like we were fleeing from a terrible catastrophe.—And what the hell do you want with me?"I'm not sure," he said through clenched teeth. She doesn't even usually come to Earth, she hates it. She always sends her subordinates in her place. I don't understand what the hell she wants... —She stopped and exhaled exhaustedly."I thought what Azazziel felt was Mabrax's presence..." Saying his name caused a painful sting in the center of my chest, but I made a colossal effort to keep it at bay. I made a mistake."No, you weren't wrong," he snapped, looking down at me seriously. Mabrax was there.I tensed up immediately. I couldn't help but open my eyes in fear.Oh shit ...—Do you think they are working together? The fear in my tone was palpable. S-her and Mabrax?"It's the safest thing," he grunted in frustration. That bastard must have told her about you, and she might have wan

I gritted my teeth and then looked up at Khaius. He looked out of place, too serious, even his breathing was rushed.Why did he seem to fear her so much?“Oh, I know,” she agreed, and I could see how malice took over her features. You're sensitive because Azazziel kissed me, right? —The shocked reaction on my face made her laugh. Immediately, a combination of pain and anger invaded every corner of my being, so much so that I felt the strong impulse to come out of my hiding place, but Khaius put his arm in front of me again to prevent it. I just dug my nails into the skin of my palms. Don't be naive, little girl, what makes you think he's really interested in you, when he has me?My anger was overshadowed by the painful way my chest tightened. She seemed to notice, as the mockery in her smile heightened.—Enough, Naamah. —Khaius's tone was now hoarse and imperative, without a trace of fear in it, such as she had not heard before.She gave him a stern look.—And why do you defend her? —

"No... I can..." he said to me with difficulty, with his teeth clenched and his entire face contorted with pain."Yes, yes you can," I insisted in a small voice. She is responsible for you being here, for you being what you are.—L-I… I owe…—You don't owe him anything! —I interrupted him—. You are not a slave. Not hers, not Azazziel's. From no one! You can decide for yourself!"It's over," Naamah spoke, with a surly and authoritarian tone. Khaius, that's a fucking order. I want you to kill Amy. NOW!The demon next to me uttered another short cry, while wrapping my arm tighter than before. An anguished hiss escaped me.—Khaius, please …He crouched down to one knee on the ground, forcing me to go down with him. She opened her amber eyes, which seemed to shine with an anger she had never seen in him. And yet, I could glimpse in them the struggle that raged within them.I had to appeal to that side."D-don't obey him, you don't have to," I said in a broken whisper, just for him. You can

-It is a joke! —Naamah let out an incredulous laugh—. You too, Akhliss?"You love dressing like a slut, don't you, Naamah?" —She replied, sketching a smile, as she began to advance towards us—. Cover yourself a little, don't you realize you're hurting my eyesight?"I expected more from you," Naamah muttered."Get away from that girl right now, or I swear you'll regret it, bitch." —Amazement crossed me when I perceived the cold and intimidating tone with which Akhliss spoke."Will I regret it?" I grunted in pain as another tug on my hair forced me to take steps back. Do not make me laugh!From our spot, I was able to hear a couple of low, guttural growls, but I couldn't identify who made them.My breathing accelerated extremely. I wanted to do something, I really wanted to be able to cause him harm, but I was aware that I couldn't, that any blow on my part wouldn't cause him the slightest pain. Plus, the coward was totally hiding behind me.A faint and unintelligible murmur, but this t

My eyelids closed, and suddenly I was no longer in the middle of the altercation between the demons.I was in a playground, full of children around me. My body was not the current one, but rather the one that coincided with that time. I knew the place, I kept it as one of my childhood memories. I was in Seattle, the city where I was born, and I knew it was from the time shortly before we moved. Anthony—the little blue-eyed boy with a big smile next to me—was talking to me and playing with some action figures while sitting on the grass, but I couldn't pay attention to him because I was focused on someone else: a man who was staring at us from behind. the end of the park. A tall man, with very pale skin, dark, tousled shoulder-length hair, who was wearing a long black coat. In that vague memory, I was disconcerted, but not because of his strange clothing, nor because of the interested way in which he looked at me, no.It was because of the intense black color of his pupils.I blinked, a

Curiosity crossed my mind when I saw the change in Akhliss's face; His once confident expression faltered and his jaw clenched. At my sides, the two demons also seemed to react to his words, but I wasn't sure.Naamáh took several steps back from Akhliss, who did not stop her. She directed one last look with those strange eyes at Azazziel, and then at Khaius, a look I could not interpret, before transforming his injured body into dense black smoke. In that instant, that unbearable icy and heavy presence that burdened her atmosphere disappeared with her.I gave a sigh that failed to relax me, and I placed my hands on the ground. For some reason, the fact that he was gone only made my unease grow.I watched as Akhliss dropped to her knees and hit the ground, as if the beating she had given the demoness had not been enough to release her rage."Son of a bitch..." she mumbled between her teeth. If the damn thing wasn't so well known, I swear that... —His sentence was interrupted by a growl
